The Sentient

Album: Lullabies for the Dormant Mind Durasi: 3:42
[00:00.27]Here once stood one hundred million species
[00:04.08]Undiscovered until extinction
[00:08.38]Here once stood unnatural amounts of prey turned product
[00:14.80]Mechanized slaughter
[00:17.44]The sentient flaunted their machinist superiority
[00:22.77]An ersatz compensation for real instincts lost
[00:28.06]Millennia of ancestry plowed down for modern industry
[00:34.07]The solution to their housing crisis was in fact the cause
[00:40.92]So, why not humanity for habitats?
[00:43.44]Because they are damned if they do and damned when they can't!
[00:46.52]Euthanasia is a crimeless death penalty
[00:49.17]But it's still better than what they get
[00:52.01]When tortured, brutally murdered
[00:54.45]'Cause some fucking coward can't make a clean living
[00:57.28]So he picks on the voiceless children
[00:59.93]"Well, they're not smart like us, they won't feel a thing!"
[01:03.89]That's a fact? Please explain!
[01:09.05]Why should we even care?
[01:13.86]The things we destroyed did not need to be there (And we know what is right!)
[01:19.61]It's survival of the selfish
[01:24.78]The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
[01:30.97]Here once stood invented laws and morals
[01:34.79]Applicable to selective followers
[01:39.11]And as such, rules reserved the right
[01:43.50]To control matters of death and life
[02:18.72]Oxygen...
[02:27.70]...And oceans
[02:36.27]Metal rusts, cement crumbles
[02:39.92]To err is human, not divine
[02:44.33]Prayers are so intently mumbled
[02:48.35]When proud man is forced to decline
[03:02.70]Why should we even care?
[03:07.61]The things we destroyed did not need to be there
[03:13.34]It's survival of the selfish
[03:18.50]The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
