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 wreak
Avarice, your self-control is weak
Self-indulgence is the key
The pathetic life you lead
All-consuming adolescent fantasy
You'd better grow up fast
'Cause this life will never last
And you'll be the last one to see!!!

Christ, I wish I had the answer!
I must admit, I'm only human, too
I'm surely not above looking out for myself
It's an attitude I know I must improve
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 us burn!!!
Our actions are primordial we're never gonna learn
Make us bleed!!!
Reciprocation our just reward
Maturity!!!
Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure
And so it goes!!!
We are victims of our own greed

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
This world we inhabit, all our attitudes are fake
We're only here to preserve our own wealth
The human condition, read you give and I'll take
It seems older than time itself!!!
