   The Kingdom of the Dead

   by Amos Keppler

   I see it all around me
   I see it in the streets
   I see it in the creatures
   Pretending to be human
   Walking the streets
   I see the cathedrals of Civilization
   Wherever I go
   I see the death of spirit
   The death of fire
   The absence of humanity
   Even in the distant wilderness
   Planes are passing
   Above my head
   Civilization can never be left
   As long as it there
   I see it wherever I turn my eyes
   The Kingdom of the Dead

   Had to pee before I pee on myself
   Had to eat because I am hungry
   Had to walk because I want to walk
   Had to live, because I am Human

   For millennia seers have prophesized
   About a distant kingdom
   Where Death is in every corner,
   Every nook and cranny of the world
   Where Life is Destroyed on every level
   Where humans are hardly more than ghosts
   Sickly, pale creatures of doom
   Stumbling through a gray, desolate landscape
   Into the twilight
   That kingdom is distant no longer
   That kingdom is today
   It’s not a mythical kingdom
   In the fairy tale of religion
   It’s real and tangible
   A hell of our own making
   Prophecy fulfilled
   Rejoice humanity
   The Final Days are finally here

   Have to pee before I pee on myself
   Have to eat because I am hungry
   Have to walk because I want to walk
   Have to live, because I am Human
