[Verse 1]
So, is it just me?
Can everyone see
The world drowning in its own blood?
Humanity's decline
Dismantled over time
A fossil drying in the mud
Deception and the greed
That germinates the seeds
Of dissent growing all around
Is this beginning or the end?
In darkness, we descend
And I can't wait to see it all go down
[Verse 2]
Standing room only, all the world will attend
Front row, center, to the ultimate end
Mankind constantly parading its flaws
Tangled in charades of the orthodox laws
Like a firestorm raging out of control
Ignorance of all has taken its toll
Seems that blame is your personal hell
Dish it out to anyone but never yourself
[Chorus]
Implode, no resurrection of divine
Implode, extermination of the swine
[Verse 3]
Sick of this shit called policy
Life support for a dead economy
Brain-dead leaders of the world conspire
Acting with malice only fuels the fire
No wonder people of religion obsess
All it wants a man to do is confess
Arrogance will never let the fools concede
You know you're gonna have to stand and watch them bleed
[Chorus]
Implode, cleansation of mankind
Implode, extermination of the swine
[Verse 4]
So many still ask why
I've said a million times
There's nothing godly looking over us
It's just the choice you make
I'll still inject the hate
That brings finality to the fuss
Society will bleed
So watch the violence breed
And deconstruct the protocol
And if I'm proven wrong
I think you know the song
I'm pretty sure that God still hates us all
[Lead – King]
[Verse 5]
Standing room only, all the world will attend
Front row, center, to the ultimate end
Mankind constantly parading its flaws
Tangled in charades of the orthodox laws
No wonder people of religion obsess
All it wants a man to do is confess
Arrogance will never let the fools concede
You know you're gonna have to stand and watch them bleed
[Chorus]
Implode, cleansation of mankind
Implode, extermination of the swine
[Lead – King]
[Outro]
No resurrection of divine
Extermination of the swine
It's the cleansation of mankind
No resurrection of divine
Extermination of mankind

“That was done around the same time as ‘Chasing Death’ and we played it at the Golden Gods Awards. That one is about mankind ruining the Earth and at some point the Earth is going to fight back and we’re gonna lose. We actually recorded that twice. We recorded it before it was released at the firs...
