Lyrics for Suffer Our Dominion
The ability to sustain life on Earth is shrinking In perfect unison with rising population Soon, half of all species will be lost to climate change And ecological collapse due to human activity Thus we either reduce our race voluntarily Or nature will do it for us And she will be fucking brutal A grave infection killing its beautiful host Destroying precious habitats Acidifying seas, raising the ghost Exhausting resources, retaking Eden back Inhuman kind now drives mass extinction No escape from an enemy of billions Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion Nowhere left to live unhindered The angel of death slips through the creaking eaves Everywhere we touch polluted Greed sits across the table, suited Welting Mother Gaia like a rash Bow to our domination Last belts of nature 'neath the lash We need to bleed to devour all creation Feed the masters Vast abattoirs existing for our prey Breeding disaster Naive consumption, forefront of the coming plagues The end descends on all with no distinction Omnicide, Theriocide the final curtain Cataclysm close to midnight, that is certain Inhuman kind now drives mass extinction No escape from an enemy of billions Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion We suffer our dominion We are currently consuming natural resources At almost twice the rate the planet can renew them Thus to restore the balance, nature will retaliate But it will be no subtle pruning of our luxuries It will be a cruel and merciless catastrophe on a global scale And without doubt, it will be the end of life as we know it A simple fact, vast errors weigh Thus Terra acts to curb our play A coffin for the world handmade to measure From forest's twisted treasures Now lost to frost forever The end has come Jungles culled, sold on or cindered The angel of death slips through the burning leaves Everywhere we touch polluted Trees of wisdom long since rooted Inhuman kind now drives mass extinction No escape from an enemy of billions Pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion No escape from an enemy of billions Pity the poor fuckers that suffer our dominion No escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape, no escape So pity the poor creatures that suffer our dominion
