Here once stood
One hundred million species
Undiscovered until extinction
Here once stood
Unnatural amounts of pretty 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
