Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The shepherds kill their sheep
Just to watch them die
The end of days is born
Under the burning sky
[Verse 2]
A thousand oceans spill upon the spoiled shores
Returning cities to the sea
All as it was before
Retreat beyond the walls where vultures go to die
Scavenge for substance
As the last is swallowed by the flies
[Verse 3]
Now we compete with bird and beast
Cycles of deceit
Doomed to repeat
Sorrow we seed in
To an earth I once believed in
A future stained in the blood of our children
[Verse 4]
We carve through mountains
Great shadows, they cast
Now desolate wastelands
Clinging to brighter pasts
Nations of thieves
Selling our souls for gold
Critical mass
Our fate is terminal
[Verse 5]
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
[Verse 6]
A thousand fires turn the forests Into dust and bone
A wind so thick with ash
Statues shatter into stone
The leaders turn to lepers Begging to survive
Scavenge for substance
As the last is swallowed by the flies
[Verse 7]
Behold true sorrow
Behold true sorrow
Behold true sorrow
[Verse 8]
The shepherds kill their sheep
Just to watch them die (Just to watch them die)
The end of days is born
Under the burning sky
[Verse 9]
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
[Verse 10]
We carve through mountains
Great shadows they cast
Now desolate wastelands
Clinging to brighter pasts
Nations of thieves
Selling our souls for gold
Critical mass
Our fate is terminal
Our fate is terminal
