ANTITHESIS - BREEDING THE BEAST lyrics

rate me

God's cruel joke has blown up in our face

Damned from creation, mankind a great mistake

Man had a purpose, obey the laws in stone

But man in his defiance, had made laws of his own

Risen from the clay and dirt

Man was born unto the earth

Master of his destiny, blessed his divinity

Man has a free will to whatever he may choose

Man has a conscience he chooses not to use

Man has the knowledge to envision and create

To mastermind barbaric crimes and violent acts of hate

So graceful and articulate yet morbid and grotesque

Instead of moving forward man seems to have digressed

The lion licks his chops and sinks his teeth into his prey

The vultures over top strip clean the bones of the remains

So cruel and so savage, the nature of the beast

The nature of mankind, more brutal than the feast

Man is not an animal, too advanced to be evolved

Modern man a breed much worse

Modern man is a monster

Hopeless, it's sad but true, we are hopeless

We had our chance, we turn our backs

Now it's too late. We cannot save ourselves

We can't take back what we've done

We can't bring back what is gone

Hope, pray, somehow, someday

Mankind will change and try to be

More human

We live our lives fearing ourselves

All species beneath us will fear us as well

Man chokes the sky and poisons the sea

Makes waste of this world of which God make him King

God help us all, from grace we will fall

And in our plummet we reveal our many flaws

Man rapes the world in order to progress

Our careless ways will end with our collapse

Try seeing the world through our children's eyes

We leave behind a legacy of lies

Man is a plague, a pestilence that breeds

Bastard offspring inherit wicked deeds

Man is not an animal, too advanced to be evolved

What have we become?

Breeders of beasts
