there is a scar on the face of the world

a wound that won’t heal, disease without cure

there is a foulness that lurks in our hearts

doomed by our nature, for we are the dark

breeding, a ravage unchecked

touched and then left for dead

all shall whither and fail

by our hands, Gaia's bane

ruin and filth and decay

hate and war are our plagues

burning raping species

Homo sapiens disease

this curse called man we have seen

eat its own offspring alive

slit its own throat in greed

in its lust to survive

ruin and filth and decay

hate and war are our names

the extinction species

mankind is the disease
