"The Last Men (A Requiem for Dawn)"
(A Philosophical Rock Anthem)
[Verse 1]
The gods are dead – we lit the pyre,
Yet still we kneel to sword and fire.
They call it "order", call it "law",
But chains are chains, no matter how they saw.
[Verse 2]
The weak man’s strength is violence wielded,
A hollow crown, a shield gelded.
Difference frightens lesser kings –
Monuments built on rusted strings.
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear it?
The drum of ages, cracked and fading –
Do you see it?
The same blood in different shading…
[Chorus]
Beware the Last Men! (Their hands are trembling)
They sell you chaos! (While preaching order)
Their paradise is a funeral pyre –
Step into the light… or burn with them!
[Verse 3]
No Zarathustra in these wastes,
Just hungry wolves and mirrored hates.
"Us or them" – the oldest lie,
A planet screaming "Unify!"
[Bridge] (Screamed over dissonant guitars)
Are we still just
Animals with funeral suits?!
Or will we finally
TRANSCEND THE GUN?!
[Chorus] (x2, louder)
Beware the Last Men! (Their hands are trembling)
They sell you chaos! (While preaching order)
Their paradise is a funeral pyre –
Step into the light… or burn with them!
[Outro] (Spoken over fading feedback)
"Nietzsche asked if man could surpass himself…
Tonight, the stars are watching.
And they’re still waiting."
