I am the messenger of the ages, brought forth to sow the seeds of despair I am the wolf to lead your flock astray And those who follow me shall be met by death Your children will live on your remains and your kingdom will dissolve at my wake Listen to the words I speak: Your judgement is determined not by your god (absent is your god) Your actions shall be tried by the generations to come I come in the name of indulgence Every passing moment I am fed As the fight for survival becomes a conquest for power As the conquest for power is met with a life of ease (as this life of ease cradles the feeble) As you forget what it means to fend for yourself Your society crumbles at my feet I have become too powerful to defeat I come in the name of greed Look at me; I am the future Embrace me; I am your fate Fear me; I can destroy you Hate me; I have been created by you I am the messenger of the ages, brought forth to sow the seeds of despair I am the wolf to lead your flock astray And those who follow me shall be met by death You have sealed your future -- its stale fate a crippled skeleton of the past You have condemned your children to burn from the flames from the fires of your greed Now you serve me Say goodbye to your world Say goodbye to your precious possessions Now you serve me Say goodbye to your precious future I am the enforcer of the things to come -- the raven feasting on this carrion Your decisions have led you to me, and I will make you suffer You've lived your lives with everything you need Even the poor participate in greed And now the time has come and you'll burn at the stake The embers rising higher from the choices that you made Soon the world will be free of its curse Soon the Earth shall once more be cleansed to start again The enforcer of things to come Say goodbye You shall be no more
