Principle of Self-Extinction Lyrics

Peak of evolution
As measured by intelligence
Self-preservation
As basic principle
Of practical reason
Instinct of survival
Complexity of prudence and mind
Except for humans

Principle of self extinction

Self-proclaimed crown of creation
A parasite feasting on a sick host
Enemy to itself, war of extermination
The downfall of mankind

All denial in vain as climate collapse
Industrial wastelands
Depopulated - starvation and disease
Territorial rivalry for resources left unspoiled

Xenophobic fears
Delusions of purity
An acquired obstinacy
Glorification of invariability
Incestuous genetic decay

Endangered by pestilence and greed
Man’s existence at stake
Remnants of the final war
Fallout on infertile soil

Radiation-induced sterility
Bloodline drained away
Humanity left for dead
Extirpation complete
