The Sentient

Here once stood one hundred million species
 Undiscovered until extinction
 Here once stood unnatural amounts of prey turned product
 Mechanized slaughter
 The sentient flaunted their machinist superiority
 An ersatz compensation for real instincts lost
 Millennia of ancestry plowed down for modern industry
 The solution to their housing crisis was in fact the cause
 So, why not humanity for habitats?
 Because they are damned if they do and damned when they can't!
 Euthanasia is a crimeless death penalty
 But it's still better than what they get
 When tortured, brutally murdered
 'Cause some fucking coward can't make a clean living
 So he picks on the voiceless children
 "Well, they're not smart like us, they won't feel a thing!"
 That's a fact? Please explain!
 Why should we even care?
 The things we destroyed did not need to be there (And we know what is right!)
 It's survival of the selfish
 The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
 Here once stood invented laws and morals
 Applicable to selective followers
 And as such, rules reserved the right
 To control matters of death and life
 ♪
 Oxygen...
 ...And oceans
 ♪
 Metal rusts, cement crumbles
 To err is human, not divine
 Prayers are so intently mumbled
 When proud man is forced to decline
 ♪
 Why should we even care?
 The things we destroyed did not need to be there
 It's survival of the selfish
 The bi-pedal tyrant goes down with his ship in the end
