Selfish me

Shattered trust and broken vows

Lies surround me, choking now

World burns with vengeful flames

Ashes on the ground remain

Hope extinct, a dying dream

Hearts turn stone, no light between

Humanity's wreckage, scattered wide

Left alone as oceans dried

No savior coming through the night

No light ahead, no end in sight

Empathy's corpse lies cold and still

All goodness is dead against my will

Steel my will against the pain

Embrace my greed, there's more to gain

Selfish intent is all I need

To survive in a world that makes me bleed

Broken! Twisted! I don't care!

Collapse of all

It's beyond repair!

Selfish! Ruthless! I'm free to devour!

Rise through the ruin

Claim my own power!

Truth is poison, bitter taste

Hearts are black, beyond disgrace

Knife in the spine, the final blow

We're under attack, nowhere to go

Savior myth we once believed

Justice is lies that we perceived

Better world's dream? Watch it die

As smoke consumes the ashen sky

Why save what's meant to rot away?

Compassion fades with each new day

It's all we've got, yet nothing left

I exhale smoke from my final breath

Inhale hate that fills my core

Humanity's crushed forevermore

Beneath its weight of endless greed

Destruction is our final creed

Broken! Twisted! I don't care!

Collapse of all

It's beyond repair!

Selfish! Ruthless! I'm free to devour!

Rise through the ruin

Claim my own power!

In darkness I find my strength

Through devastation, at any length

No regrets as worlds collapse

Time for mercy long elapsed

I stand alone among the waste

Victory's ash upon my taste

The end of all becomes my throne

In ruins, finally, I am home
