Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born between chaos and hatred—a lottery of fate
We sit on the brink of extinction, the world lies in wait
Just a scratch on the surface of time that will wash away
We delude ourselves with the notion that we are here to stay
[Verse 2]
As life starts to shrink, an impending state of neurosis
Will we awake from this negligent narcosis?
[Verse 3]
On the brink, the brink of extinction
We're on the brink, the brink of extinction
[Verse 4]
Locked together in a mindless campaign, it's only now we see
Appreciation is the one redemption for all that lives and breathes
Like a virus it's conscious—impure, we have farmed disease
It's time now to step back and find an inner peace
[Verse 5]
As life starts to shrink, an impending state of neurosis
Will we awake from this negligent narcosis?
[Verse 6]
On the brink, the brink of extinction
We're on the brink, the brink of extinction
[Verse 7]
Will we avoid a natural selection?
Do we have the right to survive the failures?
Nature, its force—the scales unbalanced
What's the next step? How do we evolve?
[Verse 8]
The brink of extinction
On the brink of extinction
[Verse 9]
Can we avoid a natural selection?
Do we have the right to survive the failures?
Nature, its force—the scales unbalanced
What's the next step? What can we resolve?
[Verse 10]
On the brink of extinction
[Verse 11]
As life starts to shrink an impending state of neurosis
Will we awake from this negligent narcosis?
[Verse 12]
On the brink, the brink of extinction
We're on the brink, the brink of extinction
