Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Playing dumb, deaf and blind
A redeemer that never came
The ticking of the doomsday clock…
We're running out of time
[Verse 4]
The extinction of mankind foretold
By our own hands, so brazen and cold
The final knell, a mournful sound
Echoes through the sky
[Chorus]
The tolling of the bell
Man-made destiny
On a joyride to hell
Our legacy – a blood dynasty
[Bridge]
The extinction of mankind foretold
By our own hands, so brazen and cold
The final knell, a mournful sound
Echoes through the sky
A blood dynasty
[Chorus]
The tolling of the bell
Man-made destiny
On a joyride to hell
Our legacy – a blood dynasty
[Outro]
Our legacy – a blood dynasty
