Lyrics An End to the Age of Man - Emergency Gate

An End to the Age of Man

Ashes and dust will be where we stand
Our lives decay in our hand
It’s too late to turn our backs at the dawn
In the blink of an eye it will all be gone
You don’t really know how this all started
I’ll show you exactly how it ends
In this very last moment
You’ll see on what your life depends
So you can run for shelter in this barren land
But you won’t come so far 'til man exists no more
Useless landmarks of your cities
All your former gods are faint
An eye for an eye only ends
In making the whole world blind
You don’t really know how this all started
I’ll show you exactly how it ends
In this very last moment
Before mankind descends
So you can run for shelter in this forsaken land
You can curse your wealth and your wish for strength
You will try to escape your self-inflicted construct
But you won’t come so far 'til man exists no more
But this is no longer Eden
This is the new garden
Now you have to go and I can no longer wait
So you can run for shelter in this wasted land
In this wasted world, in your wasted heart
Take one last gasp for one last scream
But you won’t come so far 'til man exists no more
