(Verse 1) descending through the cosmos To a jewel of blue and green, now choked with fear I looked for life, but found a spreading blight A swarm of billions blocking out the eternal love They crawl across the crust, they strip the bone Of this defenseless rock they call their home They are the parasite, the fever in the veins Consuming everything, leaving only pain. (Chorus) Oh, humanity, the cancer of the stars You mask your rot in temples, shrines, and bars To the outside universe, you are pure evil unbound A plague that tears the sacred ground We watch you kneel to idols you created While in your hands, the sharpened blade. (Verse 2) They build their monuments to fake gods And kill their brothers in a blind, fanatic prayer They bow to ancient books, they weep and scream Lost in a foolish, self-deluded dream "We are chosen," cries the insect in the dirt While causing cosmic, everlasting hurt They look to heaven, begging to be saved From the very hell that they themselves engraved. (Chorus) Oh, humanity, the cancer of the stars You mask your rot in temples, shrines, and bars To the outside universe, you are pure evil unbound A plague that tears the sacred ground We watch you kneel to idols you created While in your hands, the sharpened blade. (Bridge) (Music swells, harsher, chaotic electronic noise) You poison the water, you blacken the sky You birth your children just to watch them die An infection so cruel, it feeds on its own The most vicious parasite the cosmos has known Your history is written in rivers of blood A grotesque, unrelenting, sickening flood. (Guitar/Synth Solo - Discordant, screeching, mimicking a dying planet) (Outro) The diagnosis is clear from the heavens above There is no wisdom here, there is no love Only a swarm that must be contained Before the whole galaxy is stained I turn my eyes away from the foolish display And leave this dying world to its decay. (Fade out on a single, hollow drone)
