Éphémère - King Lyrics

Oh, so much selfishness, malice and arrogance
Immortalized fate set in stones to break
Ancient lunacy surfacing through smoke and agony
Body shrine erected in honor of war

Cathartic feeling of slaughtering our maker's sheep
Through death we live
We won't conquer a thing
Pretended kings

Thriving on give and take
Then we'll go as we came
Then we'll know forgiveness
As this humanity will know suffering

Reclaim the key we once stole
From the cosmos and buried in sand
Oh, species so young
Primitive cerebrum
May the world cast away the strain

Our logic resolution as we just sit back and watch

Our dear gift given to us
Shamelessly corrupted and reduced to ashes
What a waste
What a goddamn mess we've made
With every trophy came more carcasses to throw away

How can we be so goddamn dead inside
How can we be so goddamn out of our minds
What an alarming lost
Of what was once a miracle

Kill, lie, take
We won't be the ones cleaning anyway
As we just carry the weight of all things
Burn, rape, hate
We won't be the ones cleaning the mess anyway
As we just sit back and watch

Our dear gift given to us
Shamelessly corrupted and reduced to ashes
What a waste
What a goddamn mess we've made
With every trophy came more carcasses to throw away
