We had a million chances to learn from mistakes And still there's no trace of compassion We would lick the greasy floor of hell Just to see our reflection When the strong engorged themselves on the weak We made sure not to come in between the beast and its meat The taste of our own blood filled the air As we forgot centuries of progress and became like cannibals Waste away in your overbearance till the day you realize it's over And there is no turning back If your self-admiration is worth the fate of all mankind Then we're simply wasting our lives Every day we're put to the test But damage is beyond repair now We can't help but wait for the world to get rid of this infection When the strong engorged themselves on the weak We made sure not to come in between the beast and its meat The last glimmer of hope was slaughtered with no looking back There was no parade One day we turned around and it was gone Waste away in your overbearance till the day you realize it's over And there is no turning back If your self-admiration is worth the fate of all mankind Then we're simply wasting our lives
