The Gardeners of Eden
Cattle Decapitation Lyrics

Falling from grace forever damning the human race
From the beginning of our existence, we have been doomed to perish due to our own sinful nature.

A parable amongst mortals, for we were damned from the start
As human beings, our story is a cautionary tale to remind us that our own actions can lead to our destruction.

Mass creators of population, yet destroyers of civilization
Despite our ability to create and populate societies, we are also the source of their downfall through our actions and behavior.

With piss and bile coursing through veins that flood an ashen heart
Our bodies and hearts are filled with anger, hatred, and destructive tendencies that are detrimental to ourselves and those around us.

God damned this world that is if "god" exists
If there is a higher power that governs the universe, it seems that this world has been forsaken by that deity.

God hates this world left his "son" tied to a stick?
The idea that God would allow his own son to suffer and die on a cross is a reflection of the harsh nature of the world we live in.

God as sadist this is the portrait you paint
The belief in a God that allows so much suffering and pain in the world paints a portrait of a deity that is cruel and sadistic.

God is within and we ruin everything
The belief that God resides within each of us is a reminder that we have the power to make choices that can either promote or destroy the world around us.

Slow death (in the garden) unnatural selection
The process of evolution is supposed to be a slow, natural one, but human actions have caused disruptions and imbalances in the natural world, leading to a painful, slow death for many species.

Sodomy (unwillingly) of everything
The idea that we are metaphorically raping and destroying the world around us through our careless and selfish actions.

Our debts will never be paid, our mark left unerased
The damage that we have caused to the world will never be fully undone, and we will always be indebted to the environment for what we have taken from it.

The sands of time now a suffocating desert
As time passes, the world is becoming more barren and desolate due to our actions and neglect.

Devoid of color, grey matter produces greyer skies
The lack of diversity and vitality in the world is leading to a bleak, colorless existence that is harmful to our spiritual and emotional well-being.

The will to power a suicide
Our ceaseless pursuit of power and control will ultimately lead to our own demise.

Leave no trace eliminate the human race
The only way to truly protect the world and allow it to heal is to remove ourselves from the equation entirely.

Killers
We are responsible for the death and destruction of countless lives.

Murderers
Our actions have caused the extinction of many species and the destruction of entire ecosystems.

Civilians
We are all complicit in the damage that we have caused to the planet, whether we realize it or not.

The gardeners of Eden
We were given the gift of a beautiful, bountiful planet, but instead of nurturing and caring for it, we have destroyed it.

Wreckers
Our actions have caused widespread damage and destruction to the environment.

Ruiners
We have ruined many natural habitats and ecosystems through our careless and selfish actions.

Terrorists
Our destruction of the environment has caused fear and panic among many people, as they realize the dire consequences of our actions.

Addicted to death
Our insatiable desire for power and material wealth is leading us down a path of self-destruction, both individually and as a species.
