Year Zero

Some say it was a warning 
Some say it was a sign 
I was standing right there 
When it came down from the sky 
They were expecting us 
We felt it from inside 
Said it was up to us 
Up to us to decide 


You've become a virus 
That's eaten up its host 
We've been watching you with all our eyes 
And what you seem to value most 
So much potential, or so we used to say 
Your greed, self-importance, and your arrogance 
You pissed it all away 


We heard a cry 
We've come to intervene 
You will change your ways and you will make amends 
Or we will wipe this place clean 


Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
