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 conclusion, 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 nothing "What are you now that I once was? What I am now, you will soon be"
