Son of Mourning - Succession Lyrics

Systematic extinction
Your kind are being removed
Brother Darwin often rebuked
Your work we will reprove

Natural selection
Scouring the herd of the weaker meat
Casting off the useless forms
Your strain is obsolete

Faceless, collectivistic
Under my rule, your neck will bleed
Self-loathing altruistic
Once judged, your kind will vanish

Corpses form the pattern
The bloody steps of succession
Your former slaves are now your judge
And court is in session

All rise, court is in session

The evidence is obvious
Your testimony - ambiguous
You failed to prove your worth to us
The decision is unanimous

Indifferent, nihilistic
In my world, your hands are empty
Short-sighted, hedonistic
Your pleasure will be your pain

By the hands of the timid and meek
Our heroes may bleed and fall
We must invoke succession
Brute or spineless, judge them all

Irreverent, anarchistic
Beneath justice, your back will break
Gutless, pacifistic
Nothing but contempt for those unwilling to fight

This is the ancient blood-pact
Between death and life from long ago
You cannot achieve exemption
I will make it so

Gather all ye judges
Our kindred weaklings we will best
Strike your gavel, raise your axe
Our exodus is paved with flesh

Future-fearing deterministic
Your fate is insipid and devoid
Coward subjectivistic
Your existence is non-absolute

Non-absolute, non-absolute
