lyrics

bloodshot fangs tearing, butchers, massacres
lacerated skin torn from my face by your hands
a thirst that cannot be quenched, dead meat, blood letting
this carnivore called man, still free, still killing

it lives from the past
self-destruction will always sustain

such a flaw gone unnoticed given to such an animal
got no chance to change genetics
we’ve inherited acute aggression
no one is an exception
we’ve got a plan, complete destruction

dead corpse lies rotting diseased, maggots’ habit
left with an epitaph that says “bad mistake, rejected”
tightly packed for convenience, rat holes, larvae sleeping
many dead, many live, kill them before they kill you
