Destruct - Echoes of Life (2020)


Destruct - Echoes of Life Lyrics

1. Wars of Attrition

they devise wars of attrition
throwing cash at militias

satellite states comply
public opinion shifts

the same war that lasts forever
but what of all the terror?

2. Why Not Love

failures weight in time alone at night you cry
"why? why not love?"

lost in life you find yourself
slowly going nowhere
"why? why not love?"

you want it but you can't be it
when you had it you could not believe

3. (Symbols of) Human Failure

lured in by medals, glory, class, valor
no more fear no more tragedy
it's a symbol of human failure

4. Mutual Destruction

tribes of survivors lay in the wake
consumed by futile resistance

mutual destruction

when we reach the end
what will we have to show

tribes of survivors lay in the wake
radiation sick denial of fate

5. Cost of Progress

private contracted U.S. bomb
dropped on a bus of children

one hundred wounded fifty dead
forty children

what for? is this the cost of progress?

6. Insolent Death

ordered to level, their time is up
killing for profit killing for green
insolent death confined by domain
killing for profit killing for greed

7. Echoes of Life

natural world faces its greatest ordeal
severe weather assaults the globe

humanity threatens life of earth
thousands of species forever lost

those who survive find hell on earth
domination (by) all cost
is proper and just

now the... impact... is felt...

8. Corrupt Dreams of Justice

cities devastated
"just the price we pay"
entire families raped and torn
they tell you it's all for freedom

corrupt dreams of justice

once you hear the sirens
you'll know it's too late..

9. Onward to Collapse

could it be mankind was wrong?
moving toward obliteration

onward to collapse
advancement will not last

start from soil, zero again
cadavers fresh in radiation

unexpected, impending blast
onward, onward, towards our collapse

10. Drain

I know it's there
I can't feel a thing
my brain's in the gutter
my life down the drain

everybody's stuck
I gotta kill this pain
can'd stand it, cocaine

one more to make me feel sane
my body's busted, laid out in the rain

11. Love/Fear

alone but always together
half efforts bring only pain

you love it - you love fear
anywhere it's outside your door

the cold standard paranoia
nightmare becomes the dream

you hate it - can't stop crying
run inside and hide - what for?

12. Inevitable

guilty conscience do what you're told
how many die till we get what we're owed

death is
inevitable

corrupt system you had me sold
how many must die 
till we get what we're owed
