lyrics

We’re the engineers of waste, death, and destruction
The universe is ours (at the center of nothing)
Empowered by the gas we shoot and flesh we decimate
Along this fuel-soaked path, flames coursing thru our veins

Until triggered
Our voracious need to go bigger
To fill the emptiness quicker
Without thought, regret or sorrow
For the dead kids of tomorrow

You’ll be dead and gone
Swallowed up by the earth that birthed you
In the years that come, your damage will be done
Leaving ashes at your grave

By fire we survive
By fire we will fall
Machines tell histories, a million stories tall
But welds like stem cells, can’t save this human blight
We, architect, peddler and casualty of our own demise

Our relentless need to get bigger
Will bring the emptiness quicker
Precious time we lost, now borrowed
From the dead kids of tomorrow

You’ll be dead and gone
Swallowed up by the earth that birthed you
In the years that come, your damage will be done
Leaving ashes at your grave
