Older Than Time Itself

Dark Angel

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 its 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 advantange of each others' generosity

"Give it to me"

A selfishness mutation turns to 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 increudulity

"Take everything from me"

Though burdened with the pain of your insensitivity

"Take it from me"

The earth is doomed to self-destruct from the voracity!!!



You want, you need

With your enormous greed

Insatiable, your hunger will not cease

The gain you seek

The havoc that you wre
