What can subsequent generations inherit Besides our curse?   Our ravaged, ruined, barren land.   We bestow upon our heirs Unfinished wars Over infertile land. The grave pestilence of love And lover’s disease. We continue to deface Monuments to our creator. We have ravaged the innocence Of our children. The human race accursed To preside over sterile soil And walk amongst masochists Calling for mass genocide, For we are truly the beasts Of this (impure) world. Insatiable lust Of blood and breast. Traded a moment of pleasure For the beating in my chest. Instant gratification Has left us naked and depraved. Underworked and overcomplicated. Morals absconded With the men we enslave. In the brevity of our existence For ages, the world, we have slain. In time, we shall eradicate Ourselves And only the pure will remain.

Our Curse
What can subsequent generations inherit Besides our curse?   Our ravaged, ruined, barren land.   We bestow upon our heirs Unfinished wars Over infertile land. The grave pestilence of love And lover’s disease. We continue to deface Monuments to our creator. We have ravaged the innocence Of our children. The human race accursed To preside over sterile soil And walk amongst masochists Calling for mass genocide, For we are truly the beasts Of this (impure) world. Insatiable lust Of blood and breast. Traded a moment of pleasure For the beating in my chest. Instant gratification Has left us naked and depraved. Underworked and overcomplicated. Morals absconded With the men we enslave. In the brevity of our existence For ages, the world, we have slain. In time, we shall eradicate Ourselves And only the pure will remain.
