The Fault in Our Design Lyrics by Old Wharf

Matricide

2021

There is no pain you could inflict which could be worse than this
Marvel at our own creation
In despair we find bliss
Political greed and corruption destroying the world
You all drink the water from the poisoned well
You're all just sheep buying what the media sells
Why can’t you see we're all going to hell?
Death is all around us, the world has succumb to madness
Corporations and wars destroying our planet
We seem to take it all for granted
What will you do when it's all gone?
You'll sit and weep
Death has consumed the place where we all once stood
Give a young boy a gun and send him out to war
Assurеd and so intent
But when the bullеts fly, he stops to ask himself
What are we fighting for?
Soaked in humility
Drenched in embarrassment
Etched in sick history
Infestation, a part of me
Bow down to me, the reaper
The bringer of death, a deceiver
Malevolent creature, shape of man
Holds a face without feature
To kill what you know
And to take what you owe
Left with nothing to show
We've butchered the afterglow
These shallow graves
Forged from our own hands
One by one, none by none, we’re all the same
Like the blind leading the blind, our hourglass dissolving with time
Welcome to the new world order
A culture fixated with slaughter
Hell on Earth or an Earth turned to Hell
No happy endings for our children to tell
Oxygen: our excuse for brutality
A target on our head is this your mortality
Never missing the things that we’ve took
Our hands tied and mouths open to fuck
It can't go on like this
To rape the innocent
Too blind to read the signs
That's the fault in our design
