Lyrics
[Intro]
Neat rows in a military cemetery
Far from the mass graves they helped sew
Every copse of corpses rots
[Verse 1]
Unhinged they oppress
Is time going backward?
Artificial repetition
On every screen
World weary regret
Severe trauma
Hyperreal reality
Absorbed in desolation
[Verse 2]
Their mouths are open wide
But all I see is a void on a pedestal
Their worth is meaningless
As they prop up a depraved order
[Verse 3]
They do what they want
The clock ticks ever down
They know their actions won't be punished
Because no one makes them stop
[Bridge]
No moment of truth
Only ruination
Why don't they ever
Face consequences?
Weapons paid for by our taxes
Tear the planet apart
Stripped of all resources
We only exist in reduction
[Bridge]
Make war criminals accountable
Their cronyism and sadist greed cause
Human apocalypse
[Outro]
When the last breath falls from the lips of the final human
When all traces of our world cease to be
Nature will see it as a blessing
And the earth may begin to heal
All the wealth you hoard won't stop you rotting away in the ground
All the pain you caused, now you rot!
