lyrics

lyrics:
rampaging worlds away, a whisper
a glimpse of things to come in time
a chance of desolation

but as the time passed, growing nearer
it wont sink in, we need to hide
but theres a trepidation

no reason now to stoke their fear
we'll wait and see

i saw the blight on the horizon
but panic festers in the gloom
it just seemed right to calm them

i undersold, a soothing lie told
it caused a vector site to bloom
the ones who trust me, condemned

and now reality is here
oh god what have i done

truth of its severity
proceeds the lie i sold
all the suffering i could have spared
multiplied manifold

now a harbinger of death
i only wanted everyone to be okay
now im the one to blame

for a world in flames

final chorus layered bg vox:
i said it'd all be fine
i said it'd pass in time
i didn't know id have such sway

i thought they'd come around
thought we'd be safe and sound
i didn't know it'd be this way
