Close to home
Total obliteration
Systematic extermination
Trapped, poisoned and shot
Living on the brink of extinction
Before the humans,
Before the greed,
Before the ruins,
Before the machines
Free to roam, lands unspoiled
From the mountains, over ridges, to the sound
Close to home
Close to
Total obliteration
Systematic extermination
Fear begets murder
Dying on behalf of hubris
Living on the brink of extinction
Dying on behalf of hubris

Null and Void

I always knew you were a fucking fake
I saw it coming from a mile away
Those who shout the loudest always seem to fall the hardest
You're face first in death
And I'm bitter like the blood on your breath
Your words mean nothing
Your actions are null and void
A stance once held so fucking strong
But you chose a different path
The war continues, and we fight harder
Until the end and with meaning
Until every fucking cage is empty
Some commitments are written in sand
Only to be washed out by the next tide
While others choose to write their commitments in stone
I choose stone
We choose stone
Until the end
You choose sand
You gave up
You gave in
Words and actions
Null and void

Without Valor

I hang my head
Words lost to tongue
Mouth parched, dry
Wounded, bleeding, pierced
Close to the heart, a shortness of breath
A narrow escape
Staring death in the face
You said you were true
Yet false you ride
You said you were true
As your victims die
Left behind, discarded
In the name of science
A pointless, vicious death
Experimentation is an abomination
I will never come to understand your profession
It reeks the stench of rotting flesh, bleeding eyes and shattered bone
I think, I care, I live with compassion
Without valor, you die a fraud

We are the bottom line
Ideals fall short and fail to align with reality
Connections lost to convenience
We continue to bargain at any cost
To obtain comfort, we destroy the natural world
How many more species must go extinct?
How many more natural disasters must we endure?
How many more ecosystems must collapse until we realize
We've reached the threshold
Too many humans breeding us into oblivion
We are the bottom line
