Destined for Misery

We take for granted our resources
Dredging our homes for profit
An endless cycle of self-destruction
Humanity, a disease

Destined for misery
We will reap what we sow
Like a swarm of locusts
We strip the fields down to dirt

A barren wasteland will be our lasting legacy
We will breathe in the smoke of our failure
We will breathe in the stench of our decay
Watch this planet wither away

We will break the Earth
In the name of wealth and greed
We cannot drink from poisoned wells
On the precipice of a living Hell
We will break the Earth
And watch the sun set one last time
After all is said and done
There's no sustenance in currency

Scorched planet, sulfur, and death
Will become all we know
Perched upon our throne of bones
This life of excess all consuming
As people starve in the streets
The roads paved with the flesh of corpses

The empty hearts of the few empty the pockets of many
Mankind the apex predator
Decadence worth more than decades
Humility has become the ultimate charade
There is nothing left to be done upon our world decayed

Mother Earth has bled for our shameless profit
Riches to rags, we'll consume each other

Destined for misery
We will reap what we sow
Like a swarm of locusts
We strip the fields down to dirt

A barren wasteland will be our lasting legacy
We will breathe in the smoke of our failure
We will breathe in the stench of our decay
Watch this planet wither away

No God above to save us from this
Worthless prayers fall from empty breath

Blessed be the dollar bill
We've signed our death warrant
The future erased
Blessed be the dollar bill
Inked in the blood of the innocent
Humanity's lost
We are as good as dead
