Mammals In Babylon
Echoes of Humanity's Hubris in 'Mammals In Babylon'
Lyrics
We had it all
We possessed everything
The whole of eden in our hands
We had control over a perfect place
The privilege of existence
The privilege of simply existing
The ubiquitous lay of the land
The widespread lay of the land
We suffocate ourselves
We harm ourselves
We defecate on the product line
We degrade our environment and creation
Fell under our own spell
We became victims of our own influence
Carelessly crafted hell
We constructed a hell without care
You can't escape your own rape when you're not the only rapist
No escape from the harm we cause when everyone contributes to it
Too many people in this world to simply forgive, to only forget
Too many individuals to forgive or forget their wrongs
Obsessive procreators
Excessive breeders doomed to fail
Destined for failure
Fated for failure
Mine eyes caught staring through these mercenaries
Seeing mercenaries or opportunists
Ashamed that I am of the same class
Feeling ashamed of belonging to the same group
Carnivora, primates, rodentia mammalia
Referring to various categories of mammals
No reason to suffer suffer anymore
No justification to continue suffering
Not today in this day and age
Today, in the modern era, there's no reason for suffering
The stench of sulphur, brimstone-lined shores
A place resembling hell with a foul odor
Lake of flames is this day and age
The present time is likened to a hellish lake of flames
As a human, slave unto my acumen
Feeling enslaved to human intelligence
Request to defect, reject this sect imperfect
Desire to leave, to refuse to be part of an imperfect group
Too many people in this world
There are too many people in the world
To simply forgive, to only forget
Too many wrongs to simply forgive or forget
Obsessed with ideas of saviors
Fixation on beliefs about saviors
Destined for failure
Fated for failure due to this obsession
Perturbing vertebrates
Disturbing creatures with spines
Articulated subordinates
Lower-ranking beings with articulated speech
Scatter
To disperse or scatter
Sociopathic pervasive demographic
A pervasive group with sociopathic tendencies
The messiah, the humans, these ingrates, goddamn them all
Expressing frustration towards saviors, humans, and ingratitude
Contaminate, infested, adulteration - hominoidea
Describing contamination and adulteration by human-like primates
