Hell of hell, Hades of hades
Fearful futures, deary destination
Would you wake? See mankind sorrow
Despite his development, death defying diseases.
...
...
In the beginning, the immortal pills
glorious jamboree full the world
Even God in heaven was jealous
Conquered earth and space, galaxies at atone throw.
...
...
A glitch, a mistake, none one knows
Untested, unapproved, no one knows
First was an outbreak, we thought the ghettos
Plagues was the next that followed.
...
...
A booming world became a bald horror
Street hike starts to fade, children stops to play
For once we thought it will end
Here we are, no cure till date.
...
...
Days turned night, memory starts to fail
civilization became a fable
Children hear with joy our past conquest
No how we picture it, they can get banquet.
...
...
They bask, laugh, cry at man's downfalls
We regret, our shame stuck out like sore thumb
Dignity gone, lesser than all animals are we
Man, o man, to thyself, why art thou done this.
...
