Lyrics:

Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
Spinning its wheels endlessly
Grease them with oil when you ring it out

Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction

The earth will shake and the waters will rise
The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken

The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it sowed, what a night
Watching as whole city burns

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Relentlessly draining it's host dry
Nailing belief to a cross of genocide

The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken

The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it sowed, what a night
Watching as whole city burns tonight

Only after the last trace comes
And the last drip of poison
Only after the last finch is caught
Will you find that money cannot pay hatred

When everything becomes irrelevant
When the sky tears open
Fire rains down, fire rains down
The fourth world comes to an end

Push the button, light the match
Feel the bloodlines detach
Cross-hairs in the evening light
I said it once the city burns tonight
The city burns tonight, tonight
The city burns tonight

The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it sowed, what a night
Watching as whole city burns tonight

I love the slow build up of intensity in this song and I'm glad my brain decided to play it on loop today. It's great coming back to lamb of god

[PurposelessRabbitholes]

The best build-up in any LoG song for my money. The main riff of this song is so fucking killer.

[sonofliberty]

This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

[justinchambers]

Only after the last tree is cut, and the last river poisoned.
Only after the last fish is caught, will you find that money cannot be EATEN!

[paulagilliland]

saw Lamb Of God in Myrtle Beach SC. and the rock it and they rock it loud and proud. My Favorite group....

[Jethrospect]

That breakdown is one of the simplest yet most brutal breakdown I've ever heard.

[AliceInPantera]

As much as I loved Randy in BTP and earlier LOG, I think this is him at his best. He sounds like Satan after a night of downing some whiskey and eating some nails. What an absolutely flawless and underrated song. I love burning a fat one down and hitting the gym to this shit. Who needs roids when you’ve got Randy! 🍻

[Nick-vwod]

Is this not way wrong?

Only after the last trace comes
And the last drip of poison
Only after the last finch is caught
Will you find that money cannot pay hatred

Isn't it -

Only after the last trees cut
and the last river poisoned
only after the last fish is caught
will you find that money cannot be eaten?

[thanichan]

I can't understand why people hate this kind of music

[fiftyhunnug]

This song is a work of art, and I'll be damned if it's not spot on.

[smileydude]

Greatest Lamb of God song of all time!!! :DDD

[abolitionist]

HEAVIER than your mom! Love the message in the lyrics. 

[justind]

I used to be able to sing this beauty of a song.. damn shame my music teacher didn't like metal...

[matteomarcato]

Can t wait to see them Live in April... Ready for the king of the Mosh Pits...Brutalityyy

[justinthemaster]

Still listening to this badass song in 2018! lml

[chopstix]

4:23 - 5:50 Oh mah lanta that sounds good.

[spartachrys]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this fucking song!!!! All hail LAMB OF

[MADHEAVYMETAL]

the hardest, most beautifully true song in existence fuck everything else this band owns ALL GODDAMN. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A FAILED EXPERIMENT.

[riz]

almost had it right but this is an old native adage:
Only after the last tree's cut
And the last river poisoned
Only after the last fish is caught
Will you find that money cannot be eaten

[JordanOwnby]

Hey everybody, came here just say go listen to "Hellish" by This or the Apocalypse. It apparently triggered me subconsciously to have this song to be stuck in my head later in the day and I couldn't figure out why. Later I was listening to "Hellish" again cuz it's a cool fucking song, then figured it out. Listen starting at 3:26 to their song Hellish and I think it'll make sense.
