Lyrics Cattle Decapitation – Death Atlas
Text:
Alas, the deed is done
Mankind has come and gone
Carbon-based life forms reset to day one
Fire now rages on
We thought we had enough time to redesign through human minds
To do our time for this life of crime, seems this is the end of the line
We casketed hope in bureaucracy, sunk to the bottom of the sea
Out of sight, out of mind, out of love for money
We deserve everything that’s coming
We’ll take this world to our graves
There’s no fear for tomorrow when there’s no trust for today
There’s no ever after, debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that’s coming
We took this world to our graves, we made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass, an un-erasable past
Humans: Demons, deranged and depraved
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We took this world to our graves!
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We deserve everything that’s coming!
We took this world to our graves!
Alas, the deed is done
Mankind now dead and gone
Post-Anthropocen, Earth reset to day one
Fire now rages on
There’s no fear for tomorrow when there’s no trust for today
There’s no ever after, debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that’s coming
We took this world to our graves, we made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass, an un-erasable past
Humans: Demons, deranged and depraved
And I count the days till we expire our ways
And I count the days tlll we expire for always
To be alive is to survive everything
To make due with anything, until we die
To be alive is to squander everything
To stumble towards anything, to feel alive
