3RDegree - Logical Conclusion

And so said God
Let us make man in our image to rule the air
And sea over all the earth
And all its creatures moving on the ground

The world is cruel
There is famine and disease and the elements too
We are at their mercy
Unless we bring Mother Nature to her knees

Why deny what we are?
On the brink of a solution, a logical conclusion
The best and brightest
All consequence be damned

Along with their disciples
They manipulate the tree of life to keep up with demand
True-only few can survive through the oncoming twilight
We only seek the better life we were promised

Why did they all lie?
We won't be denied-this is our time
Why deny?
The more we fight it the more lose control
Our appetites are growing

We've been through this all before
Our expectations are the flaw
As we circumvent all of nature's laws
We will not stop until it's done
What kind of creatures have we become?
