๐ Lyrics
Here once stood one hundred million species
Undiscovered until extinction
Here once stood unnatural amounts of prey turned product
Mechanized slaughter
The sentient flaunted their machinist superiority
An ersatz compensation for real instincts lost
Millennia of ancestry plowed down for modern industry
The solution to their housing crisis was in fact the cause
So, why not humanity for habitats?
Because they are damned if they do and damned when they can't!
Euthanasia is a crimeless death penalty
But it's still better than what they get
When tortured, brutally murdered
'Cause some fucking coward can't make a clean living
So he picks on the voiceless children
"Well, they're not smart like us, they won't feel a thing!"
That's a fact? Please explain!
Why should we even care?
The things we destroyed did not need to be there (And we know what is right!)
It's survival of the selfish
The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
Here once stood invented laws and morals
Applicable to selective followers
And as such, rules reserved the right
To control matters of death and life
Oxygen...
...And oceans
Metal rusts, cement crumbles
To err is human, not divine
Prayers are so intently mumbled
When proud man is forced to decline
Why should we even care?
The things we destroyed did not need to be there
It's survival of the selfish
The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
Undiscovered until extinction
Here once stood unnatural amounts of prey turned product
Mechanized slaughter
The sentient flaunted their machinist superiority
An ersatz compensation for real instincts lost
Millennia of ancestry plowed down for modern industry
The solution to their housing crisis was in fact the cause
So, why not humanity for habitats?
Because they are damned if they do and damned when they can't!
Euthanasia is a crimeless death penalty
But it's still better than what they get
When tortured, brutally murdered
'Cause some fucking coward can't make a clean living
So he picks on the voiceless children
"Well, they're not smart like us, they won't feel a thing!"
That's a fact? Please explain!
Why should we even care?
The things we destroyed did not need to be there (And we know what is right!)
It's survival of the selfish
The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
Here once stood invented laws and morals
Applicable to selective followers
And as such, rules reserved the right
To control matters of death and life
Oxygen...
...And oceans
Metal rusts, cement crumbles
To err is human, not divine
Prayers are so intently mumbled
When proud man is forced to decline
Why should we even care?
The things we destroyed did not need to be there
It's survival of the selfish
The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
