The Sprawl

Deserts of concrete
Reaching out to meet the sky
Multiplying within seconds
Growth too fast to meet the eye
Anonymous lifespans
Hiding behind endless smoke
Cheapest plastic, living garbage
Worthless beings, here to croak

We finally became the cattle we used to control
Before the end we finally lost our soul
Welcome to the sprawl
A neon cemetery for mankind to grow
The sprawl keeps spreading
Inside we’re dying slow

Merchants offer food of questionable origin
Biomechanical body parts replace our flesh with sin
Magnetic storms - defying this ecology
In this dark place each day might end with butchery
We finally became the cattle we used to control
Before the end we finally lost our soul

The crown weighs heavy when there’s nothing left to rule
Humanity, you fool, welcome to the sprawl
A neon cemetery for mankind to grow

The sprawl keeps spreading, inside we’re dying slow
Birth control
