The Sentient

Album: Lullabies for the Dormant Mind Durasi: 3:42

Here once stood one hundred million species

Undiscovered until extinction

Here once stood unnatural amounts of prey turned product

Mechanized slaughter

The sentient flaunted their machinist superiority

An ersatz compensation for real instincts lost

Millennia of ancestry plowed down for modern industry

The solution to their housing crisis was in fact the cause

So, why not humanity for habitats?

Because they are damned if they do and damned when they can't!

Euthanasia is a crimeless death penalty

But it's still better than what they get

When tortured, brutally murdered

'Cause some fucking coward can't make a clean living

So he picks on the voiceless children

"Well, they're not smart like us, they won't feel a thing!"

That's a fact? Please explain!

Why should we even care?

The things we destroyed did not need to be there (And we know what is right!)

It's survival of the selfish

The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end

Here once stood invented laws and morals

Applicable to selective followers

And as such, rules reserved the right

To control matters of death and life

Oxygen...

...And oceans

Metal rusts, cement crumbles

To err is human, not divine

Prayers are so intently mumbled

When proud man is forced to decline

Why should we even care?

The things we destroyed did not need to be there

It's survival of the selfish

The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
