1. The War of All Against All-
From factory farms to insolvent banks
Instinctive avarice pushes towards total collapse
The state of nature…it’s coming back
The war of all against all- will it ever end?
From the green scare to Social Darwinian relapse
Inherent malice pushes toward total collapse
The state of nature…never really left
I’ll survive this chaos…on the straight edge
2. Backslider
Weak shallow opportunist
Your apostasy will never be excused
You think I care about your happiness?
I hope you choke on the life you consume
No absolution
Fuck your
Plea for excuses
You surrender to the basest passions
You fucking overrule reasons’ commands
You know full well the cost of your actions
Innocents’ blood stains your fucking hands
No absolution
Fuck your
Plea for excuses
I hope you die cold and alone
Like the creatures whose lives you’ve stolen
3. Lex Talionis
Subversion of the intellect
In defense of malevolence
Is blood is the only solvent
That can cleanse their moral sense?
I won’t intercede…Let ‘em bleed
Conceptual gerrymandering
Argumentative handwringing
Evasiveness I won’t endure
Infected minds cannot be cured
I won’t intercede...Let ‘em fucking bleed
4. Regulate
Polluting my air
Clouding my eyes
Cavalier insolence
I fucking despise
You’ve no concern
For anyone else
Think you look cool?
Keep deluding yourself
Heed my warning
Respect my space
Keep your contaminants
Out of my face
Don’t smoke around me
Don’t make that mistake
Keep it up?
I’ll regulate
Don’t smoke around me
Don’t make that mistake
I’ll put you out
I won’t hesitate
5. Indignation
Every drag
Every drink
Every fucking
Failure to think
Every snort
Every toke
Every fucking
Word misspoke
Triggers…my…indignation
Every regret
Every admission
Every fucking
Act of contrition
Every conflict
Every fight
Every fucking
Wasted night
Triggers…my…indignation
Akrasia disguised as recreation
Cultivates my indignation
Try to pass the blame
But there's no escape
They cope with alcohol
I cope with hate
6. Birth of Death
Remove enough planks…the whole raft sinks
This web will collapse if we keep cutting strings
We’re levying a tax on future generations
But present circumstances don’t
Exhaust our obligations
We must prevent the birth of death
By any means…
It’s in our power
To abort this misconception
But gestation is quick
No time to wait for redirection
Marching whole species
Towards complete eradication
Ignoring every warning
As we rationalize our cravings
We must prevent the birth of death
By any means…
Veganism…or total annihilation
