Modern Age Dying melodic-death / Nitra

Rise above the ashen cold
In the land of ruins that used to be your world
The touch of Sun is fading away
And the colors of life are withering, fed by the forced decay
What have we become?
There’s no turning back to where the apocalypse began
Driven by technology
Relinquished of what gave us life, behold, this is our anthology
Hope has said its final words, and the voices hushed
...then there was silence

We have put this pain in motion
Not expecting the outcome
Blinded to the signs of devotion
We’ve followed the ruinous system

Humanity was just a virus
Spreading uncontrollably towards its own destruction
Until the darkness erased us
Weaved by the clutches of greed and affliction

The last throne, a doombound icon,
Claimed by the embodiment of our sins
Stands alone, under a grey horizon
To finally rule the Sunless Empire

Chorus:
We've ventured to hell and back, the journey was vast
Consumed our future, and profaned the past
The cycle ends with the Earth's last unheard wish
Then there was silence, a scarred witness of what we've abolished

Do you hear the echoes of the tortured souls?
Crying for help, but no one hears their screams,
Nor see their shattered dreams,
When they realise their own extinction

These are the scraps of The Prophecy
The one we must reverse
Let's make these chapters disperse
And put an end to our atrocity

Bodies are piling up, blood has filled the wells and fountains
Those corrupted face their purge, reunited with the roots of Earth

Face your trial, look at the world you defiled
To feed your greed, you were consumed by your own deceit

Humanity was just a virus, until the Darkness finally erased us

Chorus:
We've ventured to hell and back, the journey was vast
Consumed our future, and profaned the past
The cycle ends with the Earth's last unheard wish
Then there was silence, a scarred witness of what we've abolished
