EXTINCTION OF MANKIND LYRICS

2. Axe To Grind

[performed by Extinction of Mankind]

Prophet of doom in a world gone bad
Can we change a future we've not yet had
Millennium fever grips our nation by the throat
Gone are the days of freedom, peace and hope

With an axe to grind we have no more time
In a struggle to rid mankind of his crimes

Comatose future blocking out the sun
Force fed the darkness, nowhere to run
At the edge of the end the madness reigns
And the message of horror spreads through our brains

With an axe to grind we have no more time
In a struggle to rid mankind of his crimes

Running like stray dogs no directions
While others lie bleeding from recent infections
To satisfy a prophet we step into its way
When all we really need to do is change

4. Hypocrisy

[performed by Extinction of Mankind]

Won't be a lamb to the slaughter, why should it be so
I won't be judged by the seeds you sow
Mankind's will is the strength of the free
This is how it was and shall always be

Not blinded by hypocrisy
Nor blinded by your lies

Like a flower, picked and discarded
Lies faith, withered and retarded
Fear is a tool, a weapon to rule
Control for the weak, a crutch for the fouled

Not blinded by hypocrisy
Nor blinded by your lies

Where's the hope in your eyes when you see the lie
Misplaced faith and the price is too high
Denied yourself pleasures waiting for a reward
This is all a lie and your a victim of fraud

6. Apocalypse

[performed by Extinction of Mankind]

A new dawn approaching
On the winds of the dead
Over countless battlefields
Where the Earth is stained red
Wolves prowl amongst the sheep
The humans are led
To the slaughterhouse of warfare
Hung up and bled

The sun turns black in its final eclipse
It's the dawn of the end
Are you ready for this

The gods have stopped watching
Mankind the government and rules
Written in stone
The first battle has ended
No one has won
No ground has been gathered
For all the deeds done

The sun turns black in its final eclipse
It's the dawn of the end
Are you ready for this

Blood rain hails upon us
In the stench of decay
Held back by their forces
We'll pray for this day
Your heroes have died
Now none can remain
All torn on the battlefields
Ravens feast on the slain

The sun turns black in its final eclipse
It's the dawn of the end
Are you ready for this

Earth can now rest safely
No thorns upon it's rose
The chapter called mankind
Has come to a close
And if evolution can show
A peaceful face
Then maybe Earth's history
Can forget
This wretched human race

8. Despised

[performed by Extinction of Mankind]

You look at me as if I don't belong
It's the scum like you that are doing wrong
You knock us to the ground with you state oppression
Then cry for help when we turn to aggression

I refuse to believe your misconceived bullshit
I'm tired of slaving for their behalf
What you do for others you must expect the same
Because it's bastards like you
That can't face the blame

Rub the shit from your eyes
Because that reflection in the mirror
Is what we despise

10. One Bullet

[performed by Extinction of Mankind]

Eat this you bastard while you shit on the poor
We've taken this for too long and we can't take no more
When everyday is a burden designed to break our will
Eat this you fucking scum it's you we've come to kill

When you rain misery and violence
From out of the blue
Remember it'll only take on bullet
To stop you

Go to get off our knees and move in now
Don't worry about their laws
And the things they won't allow
true anarchy isn't peaceful and serene
It's a road paved with blood
No peaceful happy dream

12. Life In The Abyss

[performed by Extinction of Mankind & Misery]

Never seeing the light in our struggle to exist
Values ripped asunder and
There's nothing more than this
Target to love while we are torn apart again
Hearts split in two as we seek
Respite from our pain
Disembodied laughter cuts us like a knife
Still we crawl like dogs
In the abyss called life

Always to crush us when mistakes are made
Childhood illusions
Suppressed and fade
Promises or lies from the ones I've hold dear
Anger and rage when
Betrayal come clear
Movements betray we're part of the masquerade
And we're damned by the choices
We have made

This is the truth behind the dark abyss
Nothing new, nothing else
Nothing more than this
A moment of happiness a little ground to gain
See it snatched away
To see them in your way again
Leaving you with mistrust there is no more than this
You'll crawl on your own
Through life's abyss
