Cattle Decapitation - ...and the World Will Go on Without You

Sitting high on the throne holding dominion
Of the kingdom animalia
Screams the pauper, the upright walker
The mammalian life stalker

Drawing lines in the sand, making absurdist demands
Unable to understand life does not begin or end
By the hands of homo-sapiens
Something our mind cannot transcend from our humanoid disease
To the genus species: human feces

The horror
Reflected on your face
My composition...a work of art
Dead are your dreams of prospering for your fruition now turns to rot

To celebrate your soul's extortion
As I gloat in your misfortune

You brought this on yourself

Every human has a stake
Every bone will bend and break
And this world will go on without you

Every human's DNA
Strands of hate forever stay
And this world will go on without you

Every human's bed is made
Nightmares start when you awake
And this world will go on without you

Every human will forsake
Their own lives and their own fates
And this world will go on without you

We brought this all on ourselves
We'd be going to hell if it existed outside this life
The hell we already earned
Where we perpetually burn

The life you didn't know you yearned
To the aether you shall return
This time for real it is your turn
Today you're going to learn
