Futility of the Flesh Lyrics

Muscles atrophy, beauty fades
Body and mind betray, corpses degrade

Strong wills are crushed like brittle bones as the day of reckoning comes to pass
Control is ripped away like lifeless flesh torn from a carcass

Death devours indiscriminately
With hunger insatiable
The demise of all humanity

Disease ravishes, organs fail
Feeble the human form, none shall prevail

Brought low are the proud, the vengeful
The consequences eternal, the futility of the flesh
You cannot save yourself
You cannot save yourself!

You cannot save yourself
You cannot save yourself!

At once your kingdom crumbles
Treasures corrode
The temple reduced to rubble
By death, dethroned
