Cattle Decapitation - Time's Cruel Curtain

Lies that we've inherited Generation  to generation That  one can do anything That all human life is gilded in gold Time doesn't care for your feelings Time  doesn't know how to hate Time  draws the conclusions And the path to your fate No  future for those that destroy No rainbow for those that conserve Life is a sentence time naturally burns Hell on earth that our species deserves Breed  before the fires start Bleed out into the dark This need for validation This greedy life's ambition An element of species narcissism A grandiose idea of self-worth In a vessel of organic matter In a league with its own feces We know that we're wrong We know what we've done Yet we still carry on The curtain has closed As only time knows 'Cause that's how it goes Bed of fire or decompose We know that we're wrong We know what we've done Yet we still carry on The curtain has burned No lessons are learned Our ashes in the urn This meeting is adjourned O, into the nothing "What are you now that I once was? What I am now, you will soon be"
