MASS EXTINCTION LYRICS

1. Bodies For The Slaughter

Storm the beach at first light as daybreak scrapes the sky
Navy boats crash through the waves, backup troops deploy
Fallen soldiers writhe in pain pleading for the kin
As a hurricane of shrapnel carves its name into their skin

Legionnaires of butchery march into this abattoir
Blinded by their loyalty
Prepared to die on foreign shores

None will survive...bodies for the slaughter

The premonition of an elder war
Moving pawns under their thumbs
Generals pause to strategise, they are patriarchs of scum
Skilled in arts of conflict, waging wars without regret
Executive decisions send the infantry to death

Legionnaires of butchery march into this abattoir
Blinded by their loyalty
Prepared to die on foreign shores

None will survive...bodies for the slaughter

[Lead - Brian]
[Lead - Adam]

Torn to shreds by machine-gun fire...another massacre
Soldiers fall like empty shells in heaps of human fodder
Artillery takes out every foe, they follow their command
A hail of bullets wash away dead bodies in the sand

Legionnaires of butchery march into this abattoir
Blinded by their loyalty
Prepared to die on foreign shores

None will survive...bodies for the slaughter
None will survive...bodies for the slaughter

2. Manipulating Evolution

Contorting form the anatomical structure
Prone to disease and destined to fall
A lesson to learn, we're far from immortal
The Lazarus quest must grind to a halt

Self righteous abuse of all things living
Has led to a time of immolation
Don't look to the skies with the hope of salvation
Rest assured it is not there to be found

FORCING LIFE Through shattered molds
Altering flesh for the greater good?
MANIPULATE, CAUSE AND EFFECT
We are left with no choice but to try

Process the flesh to revive this existence

Or cower beneath your hands
Worship the idols and prophets you choose
Fools you'll be made when all martyrs dissolve
Ideals so brittle they crumble to dust

Trials of endurance have set us a purpose
The foresight of self preservation
Savor this moment for as long as it lasts
As the darkest of times are coming to pass

FORCING LIFE Through shattered molds
Altering flesh for the greater good?
MANIPULATE, EVOLUTION
Survival is the product of life!

[Lead - Adam]
[Lead - Brian]

Defiantly toil with the burden within
Forgotten belief in deities unseen
Controlling appearance eternally scarred
Adapt through new flesh as ours has been marred

Organic, synthetic the meld into one
Erasing the flaws of nature's design
Splicing, corrupting molecular construction
Reduced to mere beings of function and form

MANIPULATE, EVOLUTION
Survival is the product of life!
Process the flesh to revive this existence or cower!

3. Global Assassin

Bombings through the cites of these nations afar
It seems the fate of this world is condemned
If history has proven anything, it's self-annihilation
Is the means that will lead to our end

Drastic measures for desperate times
Provoking the will to resist
Offensive alliance forged with contempt
For fellow mans right to exist

MATRICIDE we've leeched life's blood before it's time
DESECRATION the end all be all of mankind
Raised to worship ARCHAIC BELIEF
Unconditional faith in false deities
Divine praise? or ICONIC DEMANDS?
Succumb to the poison of God-fearing man

Driven beyond nihilistic obsession
Into realms of lunacy's reign
Fanatic oppressors devoting lives
To goals they can never attain

Brainwashed, the fumbling herd
With the fear of eternal damnation
Religion has caused more than cured through the ages
It is a blight on the fields of creation

MATRICIDE we've leeched life's blood before it's time
DESECRATION the end all be all of mankind
Raised to worship ARCHAIC BELIEF
Unconditional faith in false deities
Divine praise? or ICONIC DEMANDS?
Succumb to the poison of God-fearing man

The Global Assassin

[Lead trade-offs - Adam, Brian, Adam, Brian]

Shards of misguidance sever the fabric of rational minds
Blind to the terror this credence has caused
Through the annals of time

Fall to submission at the mercy of confrontational hordes
Then trawl through the wreckage
Of social ruins from ethnic discord

And so it has begun, our undoing is upon us
The twilight of life now descends
A feeble existence stricken from the Earth
That birthed the infection of Man

Parasites, we've ravaged our host
Resources are all but consumed
A mortal eclipse shall blacken forever
Eternally sealing us into our tomb

MATRICIDE we've leeched life's blood before it's time
DESECRATION the end all be all of mankind
Raised to worship ARCHAIC BELIEF
Unconditional faith in false deities
Divine praise? or ICONIC DEMANDS?
Succumb to the poison of a God-fearing
