And when this life has left us Flesh and bone reduced to dust The remnants of our exploits Scar the land and slowly rust Oh fearful now that we may be Of our immense demise How will we be remembered Through the lens of other eyes?
All of the poison We have spewed All of those creatures maimed And forests aflame and doom We have wrought upon our earth But experts Murder our fellow man to destroy their land For dirt
There was ogres
Underneath our tender flesh There beats a blackened icy heart No health is considered best For we actively poison ourselves As we pollute the soils Where our food does grow We butcher the animals With whom we share this world
Sharpen our teeth Cast your spells Poison your nails Slaughter them now For we are ogres And we decimate the land Our endless hunt to accumulate wealth Our humanity has drowned
There was ogres
There was ogres Living here There was ogres They were monsters to be feared
There was ogres Without souls There was ogres Grinding flesh and crushing bone
There was ogres They torched the land There was ogres Breaking necks with their bare hands
There was ogres Running wild and free There was ogres And they were just like you and me
There was ogres They didn't care There was ogres They were fat and rich and scared
There was ogres Who loved their young There was ogres Smiling under the sun
There was ogres They fought great wars There was ogres And they killed everything they saw
There was ogres They would take what's yours There was ogres And they'd torture you for more
There was ogres Living here There was ogres They were monsters to be feared
There was ogres Without souls There was ogres Grinding flesh and crushing bone
There was ogres They torched the land There was ogres Breaking necks with their bare hands
There was ogres Running wild and free There was ogres And they were just like you and me
