On The Brink Of Extinction

Napalm Death · Time Waits For No Slave [2009]

Born between chaos and hatred

A lottery of fate

We sit on the brink of extinction

The world lies in wait



Just a scratch on the surface

Of time that will wash away

We delude ourselves with the notion

That we are here to stay



As life starts to shrink

An impending state of neurosis

Will we awake from

This negligent narcosis?



On the brink

The brink of extinction

We're on the brink

The brink of extinction



Locked together in a mindless campaign

It's only now we see

Appreciation is the one redemption

For all that lives and breathes



Like a virus it's conscious impure

We have farmed disease

It's time now to step back

And find an inner peace



As life starts to shrink

An impending state of neurosis

Will we awake from

This negligent narcosis?



On the brink

The brink of extinction

We're on the brink

The brink of extinction

Brink of extinction



Will we avoid a natural selection?

Do we have the right to survive the failures?

Nature, its force, the scales unbalanced

What's the next step? How do we evolve?



The brink of extinction

On the brink of extinction



Can we avoid a natural selection?

Do we have the right to survive the failures?

Nature, its force, the scales unbalanced

What's the next step? What can we resolve?



On the brink of extinction



As life starts to shrink

An impending state of neurosis

Will we awake from

This negligent narcosis?



On the brink

The brink of extinction

We're on the brink

The brink of extinction
