[Verse 1]
Look back, the century's turning
Now your bridges are burning
All the lessons you're learning haven't made you stronger
Fade to black, now everyone's sleeping
With the secrets you're keeping
History is repeating, nights are getting longer

[Chorus]
It's the age of insanity
It's the age of shameless vanity
And no one's diving deep to find the pearl
It's the underage seduction
Of a weapon of mass destruction
It's the beginning of the ending of the world
The beginning of the ending of the world

[Verse 2]
What now? I already told you
All the love that he sold you
Was to have and to hold you till there's something better
And when the towers are falling
Darker powers are calling
You can't walk when you're crawling, lying in the gutter

[Chorus]
It's the age of insanity
It's the age of shameless vanity
And no one's diving deep to find the pearl
It's the underage seduction
Of a weapon of mass destruction
It's the beginning of the ending of the world
The beginning of the ending of the world

[Bridge]
All things come to an end
Oh captain, my captain
They're all going down with the ship
I'll see you on the other side
All things come to an end

[Pre-Chorus]
Look back, the century's turning
Now your bridges are burning
All the lessons you’re learning haven't made you stronger

[Chorus]
It's the age of insanity
It's the age of shameless vanity
And no one’s diving deep to find the pearl
It's the underage seduction
Of a weapon of mass destruction
It's the beginning of the ending of the world
The beginning of the ending of the world
The beginning of the ending of the world
