lyrics

I’ve seen your faith, it’s grown deathly thin
It’s just a delusion wrapped up in paper skin
I know you’ve cast off the divine
So hide behind your lies

Everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end

Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up

Night plagues you only with fractured dreams
You're nothing, a tiny cog in the grand machine
Come morning light will warm your face
For you've abandoned grace

Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up

Round and round
This maudlin dance
We lost ourselves
We caught the scent
See everybody pretends, my friend
So nobody will ascend, my friend
Spit in the eye of heaven-sent
With notions that they don't pretend
Not one of them will ascend, my friend
So everybody will see the end

Yes everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
I promise you that you'll see the end

Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up

Our time is nigh
Our time is up
Our time is nigh
Our time is up
