The Black Dahlia Homicide, “Aftermath” Lyrics

So right here we’re
You idea you’ll observed all of it
Nonetheless among the dwelling after the autumn
The burning rock fell from the sky
Laid waste to outdated international maximum did die
Roaming the hearth
Adapting to ash
Scavenging to live on
Time and force
Make us conflict
Feeding off each and every different when we will be able to
The choices that we make
Beg the query “Are we nonetheless human?”

Assets dwindle rapid
Sick desperation haunts the land
Our morals fall apart regularly
Unfortunately our souls become worse
We’re going to quickly expire
The edge maxed
Fingers in air some do cry
Why God have you ever became blind eye

To suppose you could have observed the worst
Brutal fact shall no doubt harm
Life is also a present
However ever entwined with struggling

“What does not kill you makes you more potent”
Fooling ourselves for the way for much longer?
Pushing ‘gainst nature’s grain
Kidding ourselves that we are nonetheless sane
The disgrace
Unending ache
Residing in aftermath

Outdated international lengthy long past
The ones left the remnant insane
Lift on

Sobbing as they chunk
Fresh allies develop into meals
Slowly mans flame dies out
No power to shout

This international as soon as majestic
Our misplaced the Aristocracy
Taking eyes for eyes
What is left of mankind
Not sees
Feeding on each and every different whilst we will be able to
The choices that we’ve got made
There is not any query, now not human

To suppose you could have observed the worst
Brutal fact shall no doubt harm
Life is also a present
However ever entwined with struggling

“What does not kill you makes you more potent”
Fooling ourselves for the way for much longer?
Pushing ‘gainst nature’s grain
Kidding ourselves that we are nonetheless sane
The disgrace
Unending ache
Residing in aftermath
