[Verse 1]
Enslaved in the name of democracy (Disguise)
The age of distrust and hypocrisy (That tries)
Unemployed living in poverty (To divide us)
It makes me sick to witness
It's kill or be killed in the street (Danger)
Obscene and rank with defeat (Murder)
Hold true to what you believe (Of the savior)
Beloved Jesus of Christ
[Chorus]
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, so let's pray
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, now
[Verse 2]
Image of death and atrocity
Unconscious unrest and anxiety
End of peace, end of love and unity
Deliver us from evil
It's kill or be killed in the street (Danger)
Obscene and rank with defeat (Murder)
Hold true to what you believe (Of the savior)
But the fear. Yeah, the fear
We need some revolution
We need assassination
Bring on some Armageddon
Rape it, hate it, love it
[Chorus]
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, so let's pray
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, now
[Post-Chorus]
Redemption, a dark soul
You know it's all a waste of time
[Bridge]
Here we are, lost in the, lost in the world
A crazy place of consequence
Lost in a wilderness
Of heroes of another day, yeah
[Chorus]
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, so let's pray
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, now
[Post-Chorus]
Redemption, a dark soul
You know it's all a waste of time
(We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct)
You know it's all a waste of time
(We're gonna be extinct, we're gonna be extinct
We're gonna be extinct, so let's pray)
[Outro]
Let all your rivers run
Let all your rivers run
Take me with the flood
Take me. Yeah, take me
Take me with the flood
Yeah, take me. Yeah, take...
