Oh Futility

Is the core on fire? We failed: lost all meaning And now the horizon is so pale Time is fleeting Nothing seems real We can't outrun This insanity We have released: what have we done? We did not believe It could go so wrong We were too blind to see The signs that warned us all along Is this my final setting sun? Oh futility! Who will be the voice of history? Oh futility! This is what our vanity's unleashed I can't Breathe any more Frozen As the truth begins to dawn Nothing seems real What have we done? Seems our perfect scheme Has faded with the setting sun Our dreams were painted with our blood Oh futility! Who will be the voice of history? Oh futility! This is what our vanity's unleashed And as the smoke drifts everywhere Our doom still lingers in the air Oh futility... Will you shed a tear, my son, for me? Oh futility... Heaven knows I tried to make it real Oh futility! Who will be the voice of history? Oh futility! When the smoke has cleared what will you see?
