Cracks in the ice below our feet 
Our own worst enemy on all fronts 
A strategy of self-deceit? 
A hornets nest, about to be released 

Greedy teeth, they are glistening 
Ears sown shut, we’re not listening 
Tomorrow’s promised to no one 
Our silence – deafening 

Chorus: 
The tolling of the bell 
Man-made destiny 
On a joyride to hell 
Our legacy – a blood dynasty 

Playing dumb, deaf and blind 
A redeemer that never came 
The ticking of the doomsday clock… 
We’re running out of time 
 
The extinction of mankind foretold 
By our own hands, so brazen and cold 
The final knell, a mournful sound 
Echoes through the sky
