The Human Condition
From ashes we arose
A cradle made of bones
We feasted on each other's throats

Societies emerged
A circle fully fledged
We clutched our hands until they bled

We came alone
Blind and naked in this world
We grew and thrived
Faced extinction and survived

But now it's time
To look down from where we've climbed
A parasite
With a host ever dying

And through the violence
We broke the silent vow
We will be lost and never found
And still the killing goes on
Leaving ashes and destruction in our wake
Wistfully gazing above
When there's not much longer 'till we burst in flames
How long will this carry on?
Soon the ground will crumble, swallowing us whole
Spiralling out of control
We're the sons of the light
And we are the blight

We are the blight

We have the cure for the disease
Locked down inside us
When all is dead, then we will see
We are the virus

Under the nuclear skies
Broken promises that killed our future home
And as the last of us dies
She'll reclaim the land to mend what we once spoiled
Why do we aim for the stars?
When we always end up stooping down so low
The blind leading the blind
We're the sons of the light
But we are the blight
We are the blight

We have the cure for the disease
Locked down inside us
When all is dead, then we will see
We are the virus

And so we're left alone
Stuck on a barren land we used to call our home

We are the blight

Find me, blind me
Leave me behind
Crown me, drown me
Lay me down to die

[Instrumental]

And through the violence
We broke the silent vow
We will be lost and never found

We are the blight

We have the cure for the disease
Locked down inside us
When all is dead, then we will see
We are the virus
We have the cure for the disease
Locked down inside us
When all is dead, then we will see
We are the virus

We have the cure for the disease
Locked down inside us
When all is dead, then we will see
We are the virus

And so we're left alone
Stuck on a barren land we used to call our home
