These tales about a better world
A better world for you and me
Hate, our hate is growing, that's for sure
Future thoughts fill us with rage
Uncertainty about our fate

Cry out in fear of the future
Cry out in fear of the unknown
Cry out in fear of our planet
That the human race calls its own

And the gods are watching from
  lofty places
Indifferent to you and me
I wonder if their creations can handle
The violent forces of fatal energy

Violence, cruel violence, in the minds
  of all
The killer instinct is still intact
It never leaves our minds alone
Greed, our greed will cause us to fall
Destroy the land of unborn sons
I hear them cry, I hear them call

Creaming in desperation
Screaming from hunger and pain
Scream for relief from this misery
Searching for someone to blame

And the gods are watching from
  lofty places
Indifferent to you and me
I wonder if their creations can
  handle
The violent forces of fatal energy

Easy, it's so easy to control our fate
Turn the world into a bomb
That destiny will detonate
Tomorrow, tomorrow it will be too late
When the children cry in fear of death
A horrid death they can't escape

Crying tears of confusion
Crying for they don't understand
Crying because their young lives
Will be taken by their creators' hands

And the gods are watching from
  lofty places
Indifferent to you and me
the test is through, the human race
  destroyed
Destroyed by the fatal energy
