Warnings

Location

Sit back and enjoy
 
It's the same old line
 
Have a cup of tea
 
As you watch the world burn
 
 
Make yourself comfortable
 
You'll be here for a while
 
These things take some time
 
But trust me, it's fun
 
 
These people are blind
 
They always have been
 
You gave them a warning
 
You've done your part
 
 
The signs were all there
 
But the flags were not raised
 
Don't feel bad, my dear
 
They've all killed themselves
 
 
No point in being angry
 
There's not much more you can do
 
Just sit back and enjoy
 
As your warnings all come true
 
 
Their ignorance was blissful
 
But now they pay the price
 
The world begins to crumble
 
Before their very eyes
 
 
The cries will go unheard
 
The prayers will stay unanswered
 
Their pride will be their downfall
 
But that's just how it works
 
 
This nightmare is real
 
There is no escape
 
They've brought this on themselves
 
Just watch and wait
 
 
Relax and enjoy
 
You've well earned your rest
 
It's time that you laughed
 
As you watch the world burn
