Cattle Decapitation

In the beginning of this, the anthropocene era Life was pristine, resonating impact ...the instigator's arrival Densely populating smashing biodiversity Altered climate accelerating exacerbated by our human activities We used it up, we wore it out, we made it do What we could have done without Machines to make machines fabricating the end of all living things Sacrificing all morality, the ends never justify the means Technology defines the ages - our human history burns its own pages Under the sun and in the light of day we throw this all away Instinctual devotion to annihilation Eradication, mass predations - manufactured extinction The powers that be are you and me These enemies of inconvenience = undertakers Entire species erased Millions of acres defaced Nonrenewable Fuck this flesh Curating distress Composing our dirge True nature emerged Under the sun and in plain sight a tragedy has been designed By hands of cultures intertwined in greed and cruel ways of life

Infancy sheds the warning An evolution of ignoring the imminent Undetermined future of wrongdoing Our fruits withering, their luster lost to the aether Surround us with your ignorance Smother us in environmental dissonance Take what's yours and leave the rest to rot Be the bastard decency forgot Never think Never look back No immediate gain nothing to lose, no one to blame Seven billion other idiots thinking the same Exponential is the loss, the future's not a game The prophecy was true and every threat has been retained O, the prophets speak of calamity through their corpses Predetermining the fates of future generations Heed their warnings now, all humans bear the cost The clergy of doom, the prophets of loss ...Ave Delphinus ...Selachimorpha ...Dinoflagellata ...Cheloniidae ...Cetacea Certain doom - assured destruction of finite ecosystems You may not know it now, but your children are fucked And their children's futures are ruined They'll take part in the ultimate do in of earth Resources, the grand "undoing" Sustainability unobtainable Heed this warning now, as you carry the cross From the clergy of doom, the prophets of loss We fucking die tonight and that's perfectly alright with me

Imbued atmospheric sepsis, my contribution To this assembly of disorder Infiltrating insidious species specific disease Capitalizing casualty hoarder I am the history of adaptation materialized Judge, jury, trial and error I am the one you look for under your bed at night Hell born unspeakable terror No god would ever have created me Nothing could be so insane This nature that makes us - inherited disgust Animal and inane Inside of you In the host I will spawn - multiplying, dividing, fucking taking over All that you know is gone - corruption of phylum, genus, kingdom, order You cannot go on - I am the scythe that's cutting you down Pandemic - scourge, human bodies are purged Within the minds of every one of us Lies of piety, truths of lust Deep inside of everyone alive A plague that can't be denied Poisonous. Parasitic. Infectious. Pestiferous. Endemic. Indigenously malignant. Contagious. Alone, a plague. Together, a curse. Ravenously consumed, pre-humously doomed. We shit where we eat and we eat it all Within the minds of every one of us Lies of piety, truths of lust Deep inside of everyone alive A plague that can't be denied Turn us to ashes Reduce us to dust We cannot perish Fast enough Turn us to ashes Reduce us to dust We cannot perish Fast enough

The human animal So similar in so many ways To our mammalian counterparts Experimented on in torturous ways We've freed the "specimens" We've taken over the facility We've captured these torturers Time to teach them some humility AH... syringes filled with dihydrodesoxymorphine I've combed the streets in search of hypodermic Needles and dirty sharps hoarding All aboard this ship of fools, this train of pain is finally boarding Tendinous disintegration, irreparable musculature goring Ah these shameless ways we get our fix... We get our kicks off human suffering Through puncturing the skin accidentally restructuring Epimysium covering No need for anesthetics, your research for cosmetics landed You here on my gurney, hurting, gurgling diuretics Tube in your anus leads to open sores creating sepsis Septic shock sets in - no asepsis in my cold aesthetics Apathetic, yet frenetic, simply unsympathetic Shredded limbs needing prosthetics, best to just call off the medics How does it feel? Multi-dermal peel - that shall never heal These clandestine ways - of distributing pain Diseased train of thought - krokodil rot Oh this desire... to see your limbs on fire... This sick exhilaration... of total excruciation... Ah these shameless ways we get our fix... We get our kicks off human suffering Through puncturing the skin accidentally restructuring Epimysium covering Now I believe I've seen everything Of what this subspecies is capable of producing Why do we do these things? Is this the meaning of "human being"? Bleeding is believing

Come one, come all To the most pointless show on the earth An exploration of the depths we can sink to Linked to our inherent lust for torture Bring out the children there's still time to Teach them the ways of human slime To ignore the compassion they have inside Dominion over living beings, degradation behind the scenes Maliciousness within our genes Unwittingly caged for transport City to city, unable to move Separated from contentment Only for human entertainment I... I hate you people... you deserve to die... for you are evil In the delight of suffering, shame finds its bed Lies down and in its slumber kills common sense With the price of admission, prepare to teach your children hell... They'll learn the word "submission" well Growing up submitting to the ignorant, swollen coffers Growing up ignoring all the worst that humans have to offer I... I hate you people... you deserve to die... for you are evil I... I hate you people... you deserve to die... In the delight of suffering, shame finds its bed Lies down and in its slumber kills common sense In the delight of suffering, shame finds its bed Lies down and in its slumber kills common sense

This track is instrumental.
We had it all The whole of Eden in our hands The privilege of existence The ubiquitous lay of the land We suffocate ourselves We defecate on the product line Fell under our own spell Carelessly crafted hell You can't escape your own rape When you're not the only rapist Too many people in this world To simply forgive, to only forget Obsessive procreators Destined for failure Mine eyes caught staring through these mercenaries Ashamed that I am of the same class Carnivora, Primates, Rodentia = Mammalia No reason to suffer... suffer anymore Not today... in this day and age The stench of sulfur, brimstone-lined shores Lake of flames... is this day and age As a human, slave unto my acumen Request to defect, reject this sect imperfect Too Many people in this world To simply forgive, to only forget Obsessed with ideas of saviors Destined for failure Perturbing vertebrates Articulated subordinates Scatter Sociopathic pervasive demographic The messiah, the humans, these ingrates, goddamn them all Contaminate, infested, adulteration - Hominoidea

Of all the religions at our grasp Of the ideals that we enact With all the past against our backs There's one thing we can agree on... We've made this goddamned place a toilet Maybe it's high time we flush it Any shreds of humanity left, we crush it So far up our own ass, it's bullshit Turn loose the missiles, hear the sirens Since all our species knows is violence Mutually assured destruction Humanity's major malfunction Completely ruinous Absolutely deleterious Detrimentally disastrous Fundamentally preposterous Categorically cancerous Unquestionably gangrenous Unconditionally hazardous Unabashedly bastardous Mutual assured destruction Throughout our history and science We've killed the self and self-reliance We've formed a disturbing alliance Our enemies become our clients With this natural non-compliance Attacking earth - infectious virus Since all our species knows is violence Let mountains bask in utter silence Mutual assured destruction Humanity's major malfunction

On this celestial body, third planet from the sun Of earth, of terra, of gaia... A spreading cancer, the self-destruct financer Earth's largest natural disaster So this is what you want? A world not suitable for life? (Self-damning idiots, with traits abhorrent and hideous) Damn your traditions, god damn your religions Shit on your systems, to hell with your decisions As long as gravity holds these two feet to the ground I stand here guilty in sadness and humility Part of the problems - never to solve them In a way we have become... culturally dumb How can you look me in the eyes and tell me you're proud Of what you've done within this life? Ignoring the trash heap that is our daily lives A disparaging wasteland, a hell on earth paradigm Extinction level living - the fate of all unwinds Too ignorant, too selfish to read the warning signs So this is what you want? A world not suitable for life? (Self-circling vultures, damming garbage cultures) Fuck your traditions, fuck your religions Fuck your systems and fuck your decisions How can you look me in the eyes and tell me you're proud Of what you've done within this life? Your footprint can't dematerialize and when you die look Where you've left your children behind... a world unsuitable for life

This precious hunger of which you hold so dear To the heart rushing blood to the limbs that will feed The gaping maw, always open for that which is dead Just as long as its lost its head Packaged in plastic from the factory to your table No longer willing or able To use the skills now diminished to merely fables Food chains molested, now industrialized You clawed your way to the top only to scrape from the bottom ...sounds like a loser to me You've succumbed to apex blasphemy A causality of overpopulation Machines take the place of hands to fulfill the demand Vastly outstaying out welcome This world, where we are at in our so-called "civilization" The great diminishing of life-giving land and seas The grand "unsustenance" begins with unchecked procreation The abolishment of the laws of nature and order You clawed your way to the top only to scrape from the bottom ...sounds like a loser to me You've succumbed to apex blasphemy A causality of overpopulation No longer the king, no longer the queen, if you know what I mean We're only captains of our own ruination

And then it came to pass We cracked the hourglass Left paradise behind Out of sight out of mind We never stood a chance Against this sick romance We have with our demise We have with all of life With mouths open wide Our footprint steps inside And when there's nowhere to hide Death comes with the tide...

A nuclear accident Vomits into the ocean An island of garbage Forged by the discarded The constant trawling Modifying habitats What the fuck are we doing? Biodiversity- now monoculture of deceased inhabitants The nets don't discriminate - unforgiving is this throwaway living As the coves exsanguinate the bodies, now gluttonous commodities Purging more than they need - for the unwitting public and corporate greed Paralyzed in fear, until all pods are eradicated... They never stood a chance Against this sick romance We have with every living being We have with every fucking thing Long lining baited hooks, pelagic thievery, gluttonous crooks Discarded secondary bycatch rendered useless, thrown overboard Bottom trawling thus reveals the destroyed habitats - wiped off the map The life support of the ecosystems is pulled leaving only victims Living in misery - the ways of fisheries One of life's mysteries - soon we'll be history Nobody's listening - classic conditioning This is the christening - extinction quickening We never stood a chance Against this sick romance We have with our demise We have with all of life With mouths open wide Our footprint steps inside And when there's nowhere to hide Death comes with the tide... [Quote taken from Albert Pike:] "Was wir für uns selbst tun, stirbt mit uns. Was wir für andere tun, bleibt und ist unsterblich.“ Death comes with the tide... Death comes with the tide... Death comes with the tide... Death comes with the tide...

I could not be any more negative if my life depended on it The look on my face of actual hate Look in my eyes to peer inside - no light and no life I hope you die within my lifetime I wish nothing but the worst for you and everything you know Conditioned by the acts you hide behind Condemned to believe that this is how life should be I don't wish to spew this rhetoric, I've been damned with this voice I don't wish to be filled with hatred, I've been given no other choice This hostility, malicious enmity, the spite inside of me Dark as pitch and black as night This cursed chemistry, an acid to clemency, pre-meditating helplessly... If man cannot change the world We must live long and die out There's far too many of us anyway You are the proof that these are the end of days Rationalize the status of your life on this earth Actualize trampled worth as your life is reversed Dehumanized, your rebirth, now dispersed in the hearse So brutalized, phlebotomized draining of life I don't wish to make these threats on your life I've been damned with this voice I don't wish to hate the whole of this "humankind" I've been given no other choice This hostility, malicious enmity, the spite inside of me Dark as pitch and black as night This cursed chemistry, an acid to clemency, pre-meditating helplessly...
