THIS IS HOW YOUR WORLD ENDS

THIS IS HOW YOUR WORLD ENDS

This is how the world ends
Incompatibility and lies
Forget that they're people too
Scream about their difference
Make them take your blame
Promising the brave new world
Fuelling the fires inflamed
Beat them with brutality
And feelings of ill-will
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends

This is how the world ends
People are what people do
Legislating against free will
Scream about indifference too
When no-one knows your pain
Take away your human rights
Tell us it's the right thing to do
Lawmakers sweeping judgements
Think they know better than you
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends

This is how your world ends
Sitting busily doing nothing
Keep quietly fearing the fight
Pretending everything's okay
As they smash down your rights
The world is slowly torn apart
Taking everything you knew
Giving away everybody else
To benefit the raging few
This is how your world ends
This is how your world ends
