11. Suffer Our Dominion (6:22)
The ability to sustain life on earth is shrinking
In perfect unison with rising population
Soon, half of all species will be lost to climate change
And ecological collapse due to human activity
Thus we either reduce our race voluntarily
Or nature will do it for us
And she will be fucking brutal
A grave infection killing its beautiful host
Destroying precious habitats
Acidifying seas, raising the ghost
Exhausting resources
Retaking Eden back
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
Nowhere left to live unhindered
The Angel of Death slips through the creaking eaves
Everywhere we touch polluted
Greed sits across the table, suited
Welting Mother Gaia like a rash
Bow to our domination
Last belts of nature 'neath the lash
We need to bleed
To devour all creation
Feed the masters
Vast abattoirs exist for our prey
Breeding disaster
Naive consumption
Forefront of the coming plagues
The end descends on all with no distinction
Omnicide, Theriocide the final curtain
Cataclysm close to midnight, that is certain
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
Suffer our dominion
We are currently consuming natural resources
At almost twice the rate the planet can renew them
Thus to restore the balance, nature will retaliate
But it will be no subtle pruning of our luxuries
It will be a cruel and merciless catastrophe on a global scale
And without doubt
It will be the end of life as we know it
A simple fact, vast errors weigh
Thus Terra acts to curb our play
A coffin for the world handmade to measure
From forests' twisted treasures
Now lost to frost forever
The end has come
Jungles culled, sold on or cindered
The Angel of Death slips through the burning leaves
Everywhere we touch polluted
Trees of wisdom long since rooted
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor fuckers that suffer our dominion
No escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape
(So pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion)
In perfect unison with rising population
Soon, half of all species will be lost to climate change
And ecological collapse due to human activity
Thus we either reduce our race voluntarily
Or nature will do it for us
And she will be fucking brutal
A grave infection killing its beautiful host
Destroying precious habitats
Acidifying seas, raising the ghost
Exhausting resources
Retaking Eden back
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
Nowhere left to live unhindered
The Angel of Death slips through the creaking eaves
Everywhere we touch polluted
Greed sits across the table, suited
Welting Mother Gaia like a rash
Bow to our domination
Last belts of nature 'neath the lash
We need to bleed
To devour all creation
Feed the masters
Vast abattoirs exist for our prey
Breeding disaster
Naive consumption
Forefront of the coming plagues
The end descends on all with no distinction
Omnicide, Theriocide the final curtain
Cataclysm close to midnight, that is certain
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
Suffer our dominion
We are currently consuming natural resources
At almost twice the rate the planet can renew them
Thus to restore the balance, nature will retaliate
But it will be no subtle pruning of our luxuries
It will be a cruel and merciless catastrophe on a global scale
And without doubt
It will be the end of life as we know it
A simple fact, vast errors weigh
Thus Terra acts to curb our play
A coffin for the world handmade to measure
From forests' twisted treasures
Now lost to frost forever
The end has come
Jungles culled, sold on or cindered
The Angel of Death slips through the burning leaves
Everywhere we touch polluted
Trees of wisdom long since rooted
In humankind now drives mass extinction
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
No escape from an enemy of billions
Pity the poor fuckers that suffer our dominion
No escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape
(So pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion)
