lyrics

We burn
for right beneath the surface
there is always the threat of violence
a thin veneer of civility
to keep the beast at bay
yet once unleashed we revel
in the glories of our savagery

this is who we are
naked ape, bipedal virus
this is who we are
angel, devil - all in between
this is who we are
no gods, no others
this is who we are
(and) it was us all along

We dream
of fortune, fame and pastures green
how clever is man
so delusional, reality is optional
dominator, destroyer, doomed
we have remade the planet in our image
and lo and behold – it is undone

How i wish there was a Chtulhu
waiting beneath the waves
who could rise in indifference and wrath
our downfall, eclipsing us all

Alas, there is just us
behold our works and despair
