The celebration begins in ancient rite Pa**ed down through generations by candlelight A thousand incantations tell of one sight A doomsday revelation they all recite The last age of humans apex civilization Transfixed as one nation in rapt anticipation Applaud as their world ends with a standing ovation For that grand old descent ­ straight down into Eschaton The wondrous world that once was wants once more Where weary years rewinding won’t restore The clock counts backwards tick by tick The veil unravels stitch by stitch The celebration goes on in ancient rite Pa**ed down through generations by candlelight A thousand incantations tell of one sight
A doomsday revelation they all recite The lives of many outweigh those of a few A land of plenty awaits the one who knew Once laid to waste as the only place that fits Since our whole race has worshipped apocalypse The last age of humans apex civilization Transfixed as one nation in rapt anticipation Applaud as their world ends with a standing ovation For that grand old descent ­ straight down into Eschaton The celebration now ends in ancient rite Pa**ed down through generations by candlelight A thousand incantations tell of one sight A doomsday revelation they all recite There will be a celebration straight down into Eschaton
