Shepherd Fit for an Autopsy

[Refrain]
The shepherds kill their sheep just to watch them die
The end of days is born under the burning sky

[Verse 1]
A thousand oceans spill upon the spoiled shores
Returning cities to the sea, all as it was before
Retreat beyond the walls where vultures go to die
Scavenge for substance as the last is swallowed by the flies

[Verse 2]
Now we compete with bird and beast
Cycles of deceit doomed to repeat
Sorrow we seed in to an earth I once believed in
A future stained in the blood of our children

[Pre-Chorus]
We carve through mountains, great shadows they cast
Now desolate wastelands, clinging to brighter pasts
Nations of thieves selling our souls for gold
Critical mass, our fate is terminal

[Chorus]
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
