Oblivion is a perfect example of the 90s new-wave style that Stargazers adapts. It introduces the post-apocalyptic world, torn apart from the inside out, that is explored in the rest of the album.
[Verse 1]
Sinners from their homes abroad
Servants of a lesser god
They thought it stood to reason
To crucify their treason
Redemption came from triggers pulled
Young and weak thrown to the wolves
I feel them
I feel them
One in all, and all for some
The desperate carry loaded guns
Peace was lost to violence
The righteous stood in silence
Inaction of those who knew
Betrayed the remaining few
I fear them
I fear them
[Chorus]
Let the broken heroes rise
Let the victors take their prize
No one wins when justice dies
War has let this age begin
It's where we've gone and where they've been
What a state that we're in
Here in oblivion
[Verse 2]
Bitter nightmares, sweetened lies
Genocide was in their eyes
Screams drowned out by cheering
The end was surely nearing
No one dared to take a stand
Eye for eye and hand in hand
I see them
I see them
Puppet strings pulled from above
Money spent to buy more love
Kings in crystal towers
Bring these final hours
Citizens with spirit left
Brought to trial and tried for theft
I'll free them
I'll free them
[Chorus]
Let the broken heroes rise
Let the victors take their prize
No one wins when justice dies
War has let this age begin
It's where we've gone and where they've been
What a state that we're in
Here in oblivion
[Verse 3]
When the bombs fell, then we knew
The values we believed weren't true
Growing shadows, crimson skies
Hate would win as heroes died
Spared were some, but very few
We paid the price, and so will you
No one's safe tonight
No one's safe tonight
Oblivion awaits us all
We take control, embrace the fall
Making the corrupted right
Chasing after dying light
Change the timeline, change the course
Take them on with damning force
Through fire we're taking flight
Through fire we're taking flight
[Chorus]
Let the broken heroes rise
Let the victors take their prize
No one wins when justice dies
War has let this age begin
It's where we've gone and where they've been
What a state that we're in
Here in oblivion
[Outro]
Here in oblivion
Here in oblivion
