Video de Older Than Time Itself

[Instrumental Intro]
What have we done?
The box has been opened, we fall
Three words are unleashed to plague us to the end
Stick around and witness our demise
The human condition reads, "You give and I'll take."
It seems older than time itself
[Short Instrumental Break]
We've established what we have here
Avarice, greed, and malice rule the mind
The strongest emotions, conquering even fear
No barrier impossible to climb
When a human is given the opportunity to flaunt his greed
He spares no expense at the task
His avidity is dominant, covetousness too prominent
Taking without bothering to ask
Let him burn
His actions are primordial, he's never gonna learn
Make him bleed
Reciprocation his just reward
Maturity
Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure
And so it goes
He's a victim of his own greed
This behavior is intrinsic
Patterned after animals who've killed their prey
Inherent line of conduct, placing "want" before "need"
Material objects of desire what you crave
There's no woman alive whose goal is merely to survive
Her generation screams to have it all
Her wanton lust of finer things, this attitude it only brings
Down her breed and casts a pall
Let her burn
Her actions are primordial, she's never gonna learn
Make her bleed
Reciprocation her just reward
Maturity
Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure
And so it goes
She's a victim of her own greed
Can't you see it's never-ending?
Humanity's rapaciousness is firm
The competitive edge is now a mass psychosis
A dementia with which we must come to term
An instinctive trait of action is this crippling malefaction
The multitudes with their malignity
Maliciousness a facet of existence as we know it
Mankind, its own atrocity
Let them burn
Their actions are primordial, they're never gonna learn
Make 'em bleed
Reciprocation their just reward
Maturity
Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure
And so it goes
They are victims of their own greed
[Short Instrumental Break]
"Give it to me"
An open palm receiving at each opportunity
"Give it to me"
Take advantage of each others' generosity
"Give it to me"
A selfishness mutation turns to mendacity
"Give it to me"
What will it take to put a stop to all this gluttony?
[Short Instrumental Break]
"Take everything from me"
The other side gives acquiescence to proclivity
"Take it from me"
Closing their eyes to the plague with incredulity
"Take everything from me"
Though burdened with the pain of your insensitivity
"Take it from me"
The Earth is doomed to self-destruct from the voracity
[Short Instrumental Break]
You want, you need, with your enormous greed
Insatiable, your hunger will not cease
The gain you seek, the havoc that you wreak
Avarice, your self-control is weak
Self-indulgence is the key, the pathetic life you lead
All-consuming adolescent fantasy
You'd better grow up fast, 'cause this life will never last
And you'll be the last one to see
[Instrumental Break]
Christ, I wish I had the answer
I must admit, I'm only human, too
I'm surely not above looking out for myself
It's an attitude I know I must improve
When a human is given the opportunity to flaunt his greed
He spares no expense at the task
His avidity is dominant, covetousness too prominent
Taking without bothering to ask
Let us burn
Our actions are primordial, we're never gonna learn
Make us bleed
Reciprocation our just reward
Maturity
Is sorely lacking and in evidence of complete failure
And so it goes
We are victims of our own greed
What have we done?
The box has been opened, we fall
Three words are unleashed to plague us to the end
Stick around and witness our demise
This world we inhabit, all our attitudes are fake
We're only here to preserve our own wealth
The human condition reads, "You give and I'll take."
It seems older than time itself
