Survival of the Fittest
Take away feeling;
Give them hearts of stone.
Let them build their towers
All alone.
Bury their homes into the ground,
Let them adapt to darkness
And never be found.
Sins,
Sins,
Take them away.
Let from the sky fall
Acid rain.
The harshest conditions
Shall not surrender to them.
They shall surrender to the earth
From which their bones were made.
Steal from them
All things sweet;
Let them forget the texture
Of meat.
There is no God
To watch over them now;
No God to blame.
Each disaster
Shall be a disaster woven from
Their own fingers;
Each disaster
Their own creation.
If they should fall,
Let them hit the ground.
Only the toughest
And most grateful
Will survive.
