Born from mud
Spawned from nothing
Climbing the food chain
Defying all odds
Endless potential
Unstoppable force
Our legacy is
To conquer this world
The mental cage
Yet distant unknown
Not known its true colours
The end of all cultures
Soothed and sathed
We've quenched our thirst
Our quest for meaning
Will bring us no further
We rose to the top
To burn it all down again
Aimless, we wander
Going down
As we build our own cage
There is no meaning
There is no hope
Kept in a cage
They can't hear our screaming
There is no purpose
There is no life
Suppressing our instincts
Everything hurts us
Fight and die
Natural selection
Came to this world
Destiny unfurled
Obedience
Your kingdom will come
Murder the masses
Enslave all the ashes
Bury our lust
Mass seduction
Babylon
Denounces your son
Life of sin
We live to kill
Self-murdering bomb
Now all is gone
There is no meaning
There is no hope
Kept in a cage
They can't hear our screaming
There is no purpose
There is no life
Suppressing our instincts
Everything hurts us
We, humanity, hastily move toward our own extinction
Yet here we are, nostalgic in the echoes of time
Collapse is ever closer, yet we reject it in our own hubris
We hunt and degrade each other in the pursuit of land and prosperity
Undermine freedom, joy, love
We spew words of hatred at our fellow man, harmless opinions create strife, fear and despair
We try to raise the next generation to do better,
But destroy their minds before their even allowed to be born
As we control and manipulate one another like sheep
Are we all just bred in captivity
There is no meaning
There is no hope
Kept in a cage
They can't hear our screaming
There is no purpose
There is no life
Suppressing our instincts
Everything hurts us
