Lyrics for The Geocide

Suddenly all of humanity's past accomplishments and vanities Individuals and families Human bureaucracies Lost in the calamity Those who thought this was a fallacy And those who knew the end was coming The universe, it always finds a way to purge The sustainably inappropriate numbers that once surged Death always wins, his molten torch forever burns And to the ashes and the ground we are returned Life exists to infuriate, berate, and subjugate The hapless mortals shit-birthed on a human-altered planet Earth Apocalypse Sudden death of a metropolis We fucking needed this The universe, it always finds a way to purge The sustainably inappropriate numbers that once surged Death always wins, his molten torch forever burns And to the ashes and the ground we are returned Life exists to infuriate, berate, and subjugate The hapless mortals shit-birthed on a human-altered planet Earth Fuck the future! Fuck the future! Fuck the future! Fuck all mankind!
