Lyrics:
(Hoglan) What have we done?!? The box has been opened - we fall Three words are unleashed to plague us to the end Stick around and witness our demise The human condition, read, "you give and I'll take" It seems older than time itself We've established what we have here Avarice, greed and malice rule the mind The strongest emotions, conquering even fear No barrier impossible to climb When a human is given the opportunity to flaunt his greed He spares no expense at the task His avidity is dominant, covetousness too prominent Taking without bothering to ask Let him burn!! His actions are primordial he's never gonna learn Make him bleed!! Reciprocation his just reward Maturity!! Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure And so it goes!! He's a victim of his own greed This behavior is intrinsic Patterned after animals who've killed their prey Inherent line of conduct, placing "want" before "need" Material objects of desire what you crave There's no woman alive whose goal is merely to survive Her generation screams to "have it all" Her wanton lust of finer things, this attitude it only brings Down her breed and casts a pall Let her burn!! Her actions are primordial she's never gonna learn Make her bleed!! Reciprocation her just reward Maturity!! Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure And so it goes!! She's a victim of her own greed Can't you see it's never-ending? Humanity's rapaciousness is firm "The competitive edge" is now a mass psychosis A dementia with which we must come to term An instinctive trait of action is this crippling malefaction The multitudes with their malignity Maliciousness a facet of existence as we know it Mankind it's own atrocity Let them burn!! Their actions are primordial they're never gonna learn Make them bleed!! Reciprocation their just reward Maturity!! Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure And so it goes!! They are victims of their own greed "Give it to me", an open palm receiving at each opportunity "Give it to me", take advantage of each other's generosity "Give it to me", a selfishness mutation turns into mordacity "Give it to me", what will it take to put a stop to all this gluttony? "Take everything from me", the other side gives acquiescence to Proclivity "Take it from me", closing their eyes to the plague with incredulity "Take everything from me", though burdened with the pain of your Insensitivity "Take it from me", the earth is doomed to self-destruct from this Voracity!! You want, you need With your enormous greed Insatiable, your hunger will not cease The gain you seek The havoc that you wreak Avarice, your self-control is weak Self-indulgence is the key The pathetic life you lead All-consuming adolescent fantasy You'd better grow up fast 'Cause this life will never last And you'll be the last one to see!! Christ, I wish I had the answer! I must admit, I'm only human, too I'm surely not above looking out for myself It's an attitude I know I must improve When a human is given the opportunity to flaunt his greed He spares no expense at the task His avidity is dominant, covetousness too prominent Taking without bothering to ask Let us burn!! Our actions are primordial we're never gonna learn Make us bleed!! Reciprocation our just reward Maturity!! Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure And so it goes!! We are victims of our own greed What have we done? The box has been opened - we fall Three words are unleashed to plague us to the end Stick around and witness our demise This world we inhabit, all our attitudes are fake We're only here to preserve our own wealth The human condition read, "you give and I'll take" It seems older than time itself!!
