CATTLE DECAPITATION LYRICS

1. Terrasitic Adaptation

Life finds a way
The fauna from the trauma
Culled from the pages of this human drama
Our petrified tombs
Now crumbling oothecas
From which a new species of human arises

This radiated Earth
Now incubating the brood
Amidst the flora, a flourishing Gomorrah
Novel inhabitants
Doubled down variants
Of the most insidious species that's capable of sentience

We molt from the past, an existence that couldn't last
One rife with disease, war, abject cruelty formed
From civilization's rationalization
That we are to be the conquerors of all entities

We're not going anywhere
We disseminate and descend, our corruption has no end
We stoked the fire and it backfired
Returned a parthenogenetic breed, gratuitous multiplier

Thriving on poison is the secret
Of a successful
Parasite
As you make one you make another
And there hide others
In plain sight

Successful in our adaptation
For violation
Of all life
An inexorable imperative
Human's narrative
Never dies

We're coming from everywhere
A Promethean infestation, anthropomorphic invasion
That's born from fire, roach-like survivor
Returned to consume and populate terra firma occupier

2. We Eat Our Young

Homo sapiens have made it perfectly clear
We can't control ourselves
Living a life perfectly fine with blindly multiplying
Conscious of ruination coursing through our own bloodlines

Is this not a cesspool, our toilet earth
That we've crafted for our progenies?
And in this landfill where we lay down our births
A future rife with variants of disease...

Who even are we?
What is our endgame?
What's with this army that survived when "the end" came?

Ah! The fleshy architect!
Bold in design but fucking out of its mind
With self-indulgence and a self-worship
Birthing in stifling numbers as the planet worsens

We cannot care
We never cared
We wouldn't dare

We've upped the ante as the most invasive species of life that ever shat on this earth
That learned to shit in its hearth
That ever bore living birth, that taught its offspring to drive its own hearse
Straight into the dirt

Brought up to be so inconsiderate
Living in delight of belligerence
Through example they're taught indifference
Pieces of shit, point blank - deliberate
Full of contempt rife with disinterest
Legitimately fucking ignorant
Litter my seed? Never considered it
Own world we obliterate

We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young
We eat our young

3. Scourge of the Offspring

Hell hath wrought upon this earth
From the desires of the patriarch
To carry thine name unto the dawn
A hapless spawn to go on and on and on

A swift and deadly virus has once again emerged
Blessed upon humankind to control the surge

We are the scourge

One more host to transmit death
One more ghost shaped from my breath
Human beings they never learn
Even as their houses burn

We are infections
We are pathogens
We are assassins
The gluttonous factions

Curve never flattens
When the population fattens

What a wondrous life this would have been
But I'm outnumbered
Like the stars at night
There's so many of us
That need to die
Like a swarm of flies
There's too many of us

We came to destroy
We're alive to cause abject suffering
The troops are deployed
Ultimately, unanimously outnumbering

Live to feast upon everything
Feed to dilapidate our surroundings
Enveloped by kindred societies
Evil, corrupt heterogeneities

From the pupa to a nymph
Molting each stage of our lives 'til cold and stiff
Now thriving terrasites, dramatic shift
Now as a parasite humanity persists

What a wondrous life this would have been
But I'm outnumbered
Like the stars at night
There's so many of us
That need to die
Like a swarm of flies
There's too many of us
We need to die
Can this vengeance please be mine?

A virus emerged
To control the surge
A virus emerged
We become the scourge

4. The Insignificants

Genuinely judging
A creature completely critiquing
A sucker sucking by
Terroristic errant elitists eliting
This is what we do
And this is what humans are
Insignificant imbeciles
Adrift in a sea of stars

Lo, we're the same, you and me
We are in fact the same, don't you see?
Flesh, bone and neurons' electricity
Long gone viral this human disease

Your faith divided by billions of galaxies
Equaling nothing more than a ludicrous thought
These constructs of man
An insignificant plan
A distorted reality
Common animality

You are not to be bereaved
An insignificant reflection of me

Slaughter us!
Forget us!
Exterminate us!

Slaughter us!
Forget us!
Exterminate us!

We live, we breathe to kill, to breed
We molest, and we feed

Slaughter us!
Forget us!
Exterminate us!

We live, we breathe to kill, to breed
We molest, and we feed

We have always been the virus
It has always been inside us

The human is an animal
We have always been the virus
That you should never trust
Slaughter us!
The human is an animal
It has always been inside us
That you should never trust
Forget us!

The human is an animal
We have always been the virus
That you should never trust
Slaughter us!
The human is an animal
It has always been inside us
That you should never trust
Exterminate us!

5. The Storm Upstairs

What a time to be alive when you realize life's what you despise
It was never beautiful, it was never suitable
For a soul to manifest as physical
Engineered to be cynical
An intense longing for euthanasia
An exploration of misanthropia
A worship of the disturbed mind
The new baseline of humankind
With all life's pleasures at our fingertips
We're hoarding treasures on this sinking ship

I'll lie in wait
I'll die with hatred in my heart as we were doomed from the start
Your selfish intentions
Your children merely a collection
In a grotesque act of abject subjection

What a time it is to be alive
To live a selfish life
To want to die

Since fairness can't exist in nature
Death rides in as our only savior

From this flesh
A life depressed

Living death spirituality
Lust for life now just disintegrates
Kill this warm corporeality
When the gift of life is soured by the strife that begins with the dawn
And extinguished by the night

Execrate this energy
The poison that flows through me
This bastard sanguine

I'm falling now
A solemn vow
To will my spirit out

I'm falling now
A solemn vow
To will my spirit out

I draped a veil over my heart
They pierced a charge
It refused to start

I draped a veil over my heart
Into the pale
A brand new start

We're in love with the end
We're in love with the end

6. ...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

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

7. A Photic Doom

This accretion where gas and dust consolidate
Under gravity's control began a wasteland alone
No sign of life, intelligence has no role
Compounds of four elements, the beginning molecules of a soul

Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Here where all faith goes to die
Where we are damned by the light

Complex sequence of elements
Bond together life's essence
Sugars, enzymes, proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid
From the kingdom to the order bricks and mortar of a doomed future

A spirit born in the darkness
A new species to arise
Exothermic and heartless
With a penchant for earthly demise
Thriving in the lightless
No need for hope, a future with no illumination and sightless
And grown without incandescence

Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
Irradiated, alight
The uphill battle of life

Destroying dark
Oppressive light, brilliance alive
Avoid the spark that ends this night, damning sun rise

Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here...

Father Lucifer! Your light still casts a shadow
In that emptiness we hide behind its veil
Smashed across the rocks and bleeding in the shallows
In our quest for light we've aimed our paths to fail

Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
Goddamn the light

8. Dead End Residents

Welcome to a new world
This, the new mundane, our physical plane
That rewards the constant smoothing of the human brain
Balanced or insane, it's all the same thing
When you calculate the cost of fucking living
There's no forgiving those who brought you in this world
Kicking and hissing
It was a mistake, forever forsaking the light
Now addicted to life

Birthed to a dead end
This is the end of the line
Creation condemned
Dead on arrival design
Progeny suspend
Better aborted than alive
Return the godsend

Born forced into human acceptance
Thrust into involuntary optimism
While wading through our species' foulness
The face of nihilism

The final trumpets now beginning to sound
A vacant crown, no humanity left now

Falling into this new world, hitting the ground running
Screaming into an open void, nameless and bloody
Shat out another opportunist, voracious and cunning
The roses rot at the roots, eight billionth coming...
... and they're coming
... Outgunning
We just keep coming
We're all heirs to nothing now
Don't pretend that life is the same it was
It shall never be again

Life is a dead end now
This shit is going south
We're still alive somehow
Without penitence

Life is a dead end now
Slow burn as soon as you're out
We're still alive somehow
Dead end residents

Born dead to a world of indifference
Head first into a state of self-congratulation
While thinking we're the be-all end-all
The face of narcissism

Just look around
The time to die is now

The final trumpet sounds
No humanity left now

Just look around
Society's sundown

Anti-natality now
No-one to wear the crown

Just look around
The time to die is now

The final trumpet sounds
No humanity left now

9. Solastalgia

Feast your eyes on our only future
Neglected, faded and falling apart
Watching the world you know disintegrate
Catch fire, situation already dire
Consequences now fulfilled from two centuries past
Worlds behind
In the rear view reflects a clear view of tomorrow
Veiled, draped in sorrow
Jailed, unshaped and hollow

Old world has vanished
Expired
To our minds we are banished
Inside
Forever

This is our world now
Trapped in the self with no way out

What the fuck did we do?
What the fuck did we think we could prove?

Life is torture
Life is torture
Life is torture
The slowest suffering

We had our hopes
We fashioned our ropes
From which we now swing in the breeze
They didn't work
We went berserk
Trying in vain just to be put at ease

The winds of solastalgia
Blowing the embers of past transgressions
Burning our faces
Leaving a charred world
Devoid of hope
The greatest depression

And our dishonorable discharge
Forever recorded
In our DNA we left behind
For we discarded
That which reminds

Nigh
The end of hope
The solastalgia
Evil nostalgia of better times
The end of hope
Lament together
Despair forever, lose our minds

The end of hope
The solastalgia
Evil nostalgia of better times
The end of hope
Lament together
Despair forever, lose our minds

10. Just Another Body

Existence... the poetry of the flesh which we will trust from conception to dust
Just another body - a temple of shit
Filled with the trash that we dump in it

This house possessed with sins of the flesh
Instinctive desire to procreate multiplying our mess
Another series of holes of which we're to fill
Mortal receptacles pumped full of seminal swill

A familiar stranger...
To walk this earth is to always be in danger

A complete and utter objectification of a sentient being
An earthly trait of intellectual superiority

Born in a hate manger
Lined with extreme angst
And a broken chemistry

That familiar stranger
Mourning our minds
With an answer to the riddle you'll never find

Fertile are the loins of the earth
The soil womb to which we return
Sharpened societal femurs
Our swords to fall on

What makes you think you're so sublime among the others that are standing in line?
... Waiting for their time

We are only vessels that leave a stain that lasts forever
The toppled cup of skin that spills a poison with no half measure

We... we are only bodies
Survived by guilt and the neurosis of entitlement
Like insects... so are the days of our lives
With a vastly finite duration
With eons of habitual infestation

But I... I'm just a body
Alive but rotting
A storm of flies that hides behind these eyes

I'm just a body
8 billion like me
Burning our hive
Scorched alive

And you... you're just a body
Flesh-lined tragedy
Dead but alive
Remembering a time within our lives... in our history
Life in our prime
A fiction of the mind
Lying to ourselves, blind

We are just bodies
Insect parodies
Burning our hive
Remembering the crime that is our lives... that's our history
Life in our prime
Reflection of a time where all is left behind
