A View From The End Of The World Lyrics

I battle with these demons as I toss and turn at night
A bitter taste in my mouth, and then a blast of blinding light

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

600 years of progress lost because of you
Can I get reparations to make up for this abuse?
I want some flying cars, a ticket to the stars,
or even just a world without religious wars

But this bitch ain't stacked in my favor
We race towards the end of days
And while you pave way for your savior,
I fear the rationality of the faithfully insane

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

Still a credit to your ruse, what a beautiful excuse
to never open up your eyes and see the things you lose
Just climb the beanstalk when you die
and meet the giant in the sky

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods

[Spoken]
There goes, look at that bitch go.
Basoosh!
Did it look good? (static)

Cover art for A View From The End Of The World lyrics by Machinae Supremacy

This song is a criticism of religion, most likely Christianity.

"600 years of progress lost because of you" -refers to fact that christians stopped our progress in middle age and that's why we still "don't have flying cars and we can't fly to the stars"

My Interpretation

@jandurek reparations is probably them reversing religious reparations, the religious officials should pay for their sins instead of them benefiting off of the poor by using the fear of hell, which happened during the Middle Ages.
