God's cruel joke has blown up in our face
|
Damned from creation, mankind a great mistake
|
Man had a purpose, obey the laws in stone
|
But man in his defiance, had made laws of his own
|
|
Risen from the clay and dirt
|
Man was born unto the earth
|
Master of his destiny, blessed his divinity
|
|
Man has a free will to whatever he may choose
|
Man has a conscience he chooses not to use
|
Man has the knowledge to envision and create
|
To mastermind barbaric crimes and violent acts of hate
|
|
So graceful and articulate yet morbid and grotesque
|
Instead of moving forward man seems to have digressed
|
|
The lion licks his chops and sinks his teeth into his prey
|
The vultures over top strip clean the bones of the remains
|
So cruel and so savage, the nature of the beast
|
The nature of mankind, more brutal than the feast
|
|
Man is not an animal, too advanced to be evolved
|
Modern man a breed much worse
|
Modern man is a monster
|
|
Hopeless, it's sad but true, we are hopeless
|
We had our chance, we turn our backs
|
Now it's too late. We cannot save ourselves
|
We can't take back what we've done
|
We can't bring back what is gone
|
|
Hope, pray, somehow, someday
|
Mankind will change and try to be
|
More human
|
|
We live our lives fearing ourselves
|
All species beneath us will fear us as well
|
|
Man chokes the sky and poisons the sea
|
Makes waste of this world of which God make him King
|
|
God help us all, from grace we will fall
|
And in our plummet we reveal our many flaws
|
Man rapes the world in order to progress
|
Our careless ways will end with our collapse
|
|
Try seeing the world through our children's eyes
|
We leave behind a legacy of lies
|
Man is a plague, a pestilence that breeds
|
Bastard offspring inherit wicked deeds
|
|
Man is not an animal, too advanced to be evolved
|
What have we become?
|
Breeders of beasts
|
