Lyrics

Infancy sheds the warning An evolution of ignoring the imminent Undetermined future of wrongdoing Our fruits withering, their luster lost to the aether Surround us with your ignorance Smother us in environmental dissonance Take what's yours and leave the rest to rot Be the bastard decency forgot Never think Never look back No immediate gain nothing to lose, no one to blame Seven billion other idiots thinking the same Exponential is the loss, the future's not a game The prophecy was true, and every threat has been retained O, the prophets speak of calamity through their corpses Predetermining the fates of future generations Heed their warnings now, all humans bear the cost The clergy of doom, the prophets of loss Ave Delphinus Selachimorpha Dinoflagellata Chelonioidea Cetacea Certain doom Assured Destruction of finite ecosystems You may not know it now, but your children are fucked And their children's futures are ruined They'll take part in the ultimate do-in Of earth Resources "Undoing" Sustainability unobtainable Heed this warning now, as you carry the cross From the clergy of doom, the prophets of loss We fucking die tonight, and that's perfectly alright with me (We fucking die tonight, and that's perfectly alright with me) We fucking die tonight, and that's perfectly alright with me (We fucking die tonight, and that's perfectly alright)
