Extinction
Last Of A Dying Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This mask we wear
We were born to kill
And we live to hate everything
Breeding with flesh
And lacking in trust
I am this race, I am this goddamn fucking race
With lies of hope giving them everything
Voice of God now we're calling them pope?
Slowly leading to our extinction
Extinction
If I was this earth I'd consume this fucking race
If I was the earth I'd consume this fucking place
Reducing the population
If Christ was real, if Christ was real he would be a man with the life of rats
No mercy
If God was real
This race would fucking cease
Receiving nothing but empty promises from people like you
You're all a fucking waste
Removing innocence
We wear under our masks
We were born to kill
And live to spill disease
Living just to hate
Breed with lust
Lack of trust
I am this race
Our efforts to repair ourselves are hopeless
We cannot undo what has now been done
We've opened the path to extinction
We're on our way to demise
We tread on the path to extinction
As we turn this world to hell
Burn in hell
Inducing chaos
Reaping a waste amongst this land
Our efforts are hopeless
We cannot fix this race
The song "Extinction" by Last Of A Dying Breed is a brutal reflection on the nature of humanity, as the lyrics delve into themes of violence, hatred, and the ultimate consequence of our actions. The opening lines, "Removing innocence, this mask we wear" suggest that our society is built on a foundation of deceit, where people hide their true nature behind a veneer of normalcy. The line "We were born to kill, and we live to hate everything" further emphasizes this point, highlighting the inherent brutality and aggression in human nature.
The song goes on to explore the destructive tendencies of humanity, with lines like "I am this race, I am this goddamn fucking race" pointing to our tribalistic and self-centered nature. The lyrics also suggest that humanity itself is a disease, infecting the world with our lies, our hope, and ultimately, our own destruction. The chorus, which repeats the word "extinction" over and over, drives this message home, as the song warns of the dire consequences of our actions.
Overall, "Extinction" is a powerful and disturbing song that asks some tough questions about humanity's place in the world. It's a call to action, a warning, and a condemnation all at once, asking us to take a hard look at ourselves and the damage we've done.

Awesome stuff. Those guitar riffs are killer!
Boneless Water
The song does feel a bit rushed in certain parts, but the more I listen to it, the more I get used to the style of how they're doing things. LOVE the energy!
Big Black Sal
The guitars from 2:03-2:28 was so fucking brilliantly done, it was just amazing. It sounded like something you'd see in a horror movie where everything is black and white, and someone is just running from something in the complete darkness. I love it.

Freakin killed it. Fantastic job

I honestly like the Lucker Stomp. I think more deathcore vocalists should do it in memory of Mitch.

I love me some death metal, but you just can't let loose and go mad to it. That's what deathcore is for.
