Lyrics for Rulers In The Rot

How could I hold out for Something so abhorrent? A species so obsessed with sustaining their own torture? A creature so contorted, with hearts and minds distorted From tender days to blindly single filing to the mortuary Ruling from the rot in rock bottom Even those of us Godless See only war, Gomorrah and Sodom Three heads, five eyes Ruling from the rot in rock bottom Even those of us Godless pray for flood War is Hell Devastation Day Mega Sale A bloodstained slapstick show of mankind's favourite self-betrayal War is Hell Devastation Day Mega Sale Another day, another circle to walk In this bloodstained slice of the bloodlust life in Hell I can't deny I feel it too It's all I think about Hell built by human hands Brand new ruins left to rot in the sand Same day delivery by invisible hands All for a place in the world we could call our own home How do we know how to make it stop? It's all we've ever known All for a place in the world we could call our own home Geopolitical figureheads, dancing on strings like marionettes Slaves for the green, with the gall To call those on the surface degenerates A corporate bloodsport Colosseum for despots Three heads, five eyes Ruling from the rotten bedrock of rock bottom A vicious, oh so fiscally delicious, cycle Ruling from the rot in Rome Bedrock of our home in rock bottom The lowest of the low In the bedrock of a rotten rock bottom Ruling from the rot in Rome Bedrock of our home in rock bottom The lowest of the low In the bedrock of a rotten rock bottom We're eating each other How could we do this? How could we be this unforgivable? Hating each other, killing each other How could we do this? How could we be this? My flesh immortal My pain eternal Mankind's betrayal My shame eternal
