Lyrics of 'Continuum' by Origin

Violent history of the substance known as man
Through the annals of the universe is best described as cancer
Cells that permeate the vital organs
Greed is the only antioxidant
For what is never needed
Is all that's ever had
The porous degradation
Multiplied by the acquiring of everything

Awash in the great material continuum it shall provide
Bowing to the will of the mercantile
Navigating through the rocky chasms of desire
From have to want and back again

The redistribution of filth marks a shift in power
As those once crushed under iron fist are given control
Individual freedom and liberties are given appropriate dialogue
And the world spins on the delusional axis of peace
We're left to devolve as the world burns the same theocracy
There is no shift from greed

Peering through the opposite sides of the spectrum
Only magnifies the view of the rotten core

It's not a matter of opposing, ideology
It's the fundamental human stain
It's not a matter of opposing, ideology
It's the fundamental human

Violent history of the substance known as man
Through the annals of the universe is best described as cancer
Cells that permeate the vital organs
Greed is the only antioxidant
For what is never needed
Is all that's ever had
The porous degradation
Multiplied by the acquiring of everything
