Destroy All Calendars Lyrics

How can this be?
How could this have possibly happened?
Everything I've ever been told, merely a lie
Wrapped up in comfortable mythology
Suffocated by false pursuits of happiness
A culture born at any expense

From the ashes of history this monolith rises
Skyward, ascending reality
Leaving in its wake a trail of blood
For a saddened existence
A societal foundation built on careful calculation
Lies and insanity, superego and conquest, unhappiness in destruction
Hand in hand

When the outcome rules the process,
When the end consumes the means,
We leave ourselves with one option: extinction

But these ideas run deep
Firmly rooted in an inferior superiority complex
What cannot be conquered can never be understood
What does not assimilate must be destroyed
Whatever it takes to feed this insatiable civilization
(We must pursue at any cost?)
I hang my head and tense my body in horror
IN DEFIANCE

For I have ripped this culture's veil from my tired eyes
Peered into its mythology long enough to realize,
I don't want to be a part of it another day
I don't want to be a part of it another fucking day
