Cattle Decapitation - One Day Closer To The End Of The World Lyrics






Awaken to the reality
Left stranded, hope has vanished
An opportunity for failure
One day closer to the end of all life on this fucking planet

Death obsessed! Infatuation with cessation
Eternal rest - request for death at my behest - held close to the breast
Clutched tight with all my might this Smith & Wesson
Us humans never learn our lessons
Possessed with deep aggression
Self-hate - the great depression
Confessing love for the end...

Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!

Exit laughter
Exit pleasure
Exit appreciation
What have we done to this world?

All Hail Mortem!
All Hail Silence!
All Hail Death!
Where have you been all our lives?

One day closer
To the final tragedy
Born a life sentence of a hell on earth that we can't avoid

Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!

Lust for dying
Lust for extinction
Lusting for euthanasia
What have we done to ourselves?

We would never have asked for any of this
A chemistry that's as black as any abyss
Before our eyes, deep in our minds hope is swallowed
A bleak despair in the air fills the hollows

One day we all will mean nothing
Shallow graves to tomb the suffering
And the pale horse's reins pulling my heart strings

We walk alone from natality until mortality
We navigate lethality until fatality
Everything that's now living will one day meet its demise
Out of breath, out of time - a species out of its mind

Cattle Decapitation One Day Closer To The End Of The World Comments
  1. M.... ....

    I love the clean vocals sound. The voice sounds like Riff Raff in the Rocky Horror Picture show when he is singing his part in the song right when the characters arrive at the house.

  2. j.... o....

    For me.. Masterpiece

  3. W.... B....

    Travis is a God

  4. N.... T....

    I love Cattle Decapitation. Them and Cannibal Corpse.

  5. g.... ....

    i think this cover will be my new hand tattoo.

  6. a.... ....

    napalm death loves gojira!

  7. B.... M....

    FUcking NUT

  8. C.... M....

    The start sounds like gojira

  9. X.... ....

    Damn this band age like a fine whiskey. It's always good, but it's better every year. Heavy as hell too 🤘

  10. G.... A....

    I feel it’s too extreme for me, but I must appreciate the musicianship here. I like to sing myself, how could I sing this on the street and at the school?

  11. J.... M....

    So happy I got to experience them with this album 💪💪

  12. R.... G....

    This is fucking amazing, the different types of vocals this dude is able to perform, in a year with shit like Billie eilish or whatever her fucking name is, this album is pure gold, an oasis in the middle of so many shit in the music industry. But sorry, I'm going for double hamburger with cheese to celebrate.

  13. N.... V....

    Basic Suffocation rhythms meet nursery choruses lol, this band gets worse.

  14. F.... ....

    14 tracks, huh? Thank goodness. I feel like metal bands have been leaving a bit to be desired in terms of the amount of content present on their albums in recent years. Don’t get me wrong, though. A smaller track list generally allows for each individual song to receive more attention. Each have their pros and cons, I suppose.

  15. C.... T....

    How the shit did i sleep on this band for like 15 years?

  16. A.... I....

    Dude, these vocals are not even decent man lmao wtf is going on

  17. L.... F....

    1:20 to 1:29 altered my genealogy

  18. N.... ....

    Holy Shit!

  19. s.... ....

    Just ordered a copy, listening to the digital version while the cd is in the mail. Wasn't a Cattle Decap fan prior (but knew of them, just never got around to giving them a listen) but holy fuck balls, this album KILLS. Absolutely KILLS.

  20. W.... G....

    These guys are incredible. Fucking headbanging all day and people at work think I'm just nodding constantly..

  21. L.... T....

    perfect soundtrack to go all Hannibal Lecter on the human species !

  22. R.... ....

    2:50 I was scrolling through Instagram while listening to this song and came across a Adam Sandler pic. I feel like he can sing like that it he tried.

  23. S.... G....

    Save the environment! Combat climate change!

  24. S.... V....

    I love this fucking song! <3 but srsly: if you gave me 50 bucks I'd made a lyric video of this! The lyrics of Cattle Decapitation are to aweseome! <3

  25. F.... K....

    Greta Thunberg's favourite group

  44. N.... ....

    Honestly I feel like cattle decapitation isn’t in any genre of music anymore, they’re one of a kind, cattle decapitation

    N.... ....

    I totally agree. They've evolved into something of their own and they're so unique compared to other extreme music now. I rarely listen to other bands in similar genres, but Cattle Decapitation is probably my favourite band as of now.

    N.... ....

    Mattis Finstad Hansen yeah totally, it’s insane how far they’ve come as a band no one can even compare to them now

  45. g.... c....

    That is a loong burp

  46. I.... B....

    Fucking A+++

  47. E.... ....

    This song is so bad ass it makes me wish it was the end of the world

  48. G.... B....

    TOOK THESE FOO'S TO THE RED LOBSTER IN MI & THEY FEASTED LIKE SOME HOMELESS CATS. TAKE THEM OUT WHEN THEYRE IN TOWN & GET M HIGH! COOL FUCKERS Waddup Trav & crew?!?! -GB from the 616

  49. Y.... C....

    Since Monolith of Inhumanity, this band has consistently elevated their game, to my great listening pleasure!!!

    These guys have had the correct answer to solve global warming for over a decade.

    K.... B....

    what global warming? 1 degree over 100 years?

    K.... B....

    @J C Decap all cattle. Cattle farts will no longer threaten our existence on this planet.

    K.... B....

    @Kartoon Blue Can you believe anyone is stupid enough to think farts and CO2 are going to kill us? LOL

  54. B.... J....

    How am I just hearing this band ! I am absolutely hooked.

    Awaken to the reality
    Left stranded, hope has vanished
    An opportunity for failure
    One day closer to the end of all life on this fucking planet

    Death obsessed! Infatuation with cessation
    Eternal rest - request for death at my behest - held close to the breast
    Clutched tight with all my might this Smith & Wesson
    Us humans never learn our lessons
    Possessed with deep aggression
    Self-hate - the great depression
    Confessing love for the end...

    Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
    The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!

    Exit laughter
    Exit pleasure
    Exit appreciation
    What have we done to this world?

    All Hail Mortem!
    All Hail Silence!
    All Hail Death!
    Where have you been all our lives?

    One day closer
    To the final tragedy
    Born a life sentence of a hell on earth that we can't avoid

    Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
    The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!

    Lust for dying
    Lust for extinction
    Lusting for euthanasia
    What have we done to ourselves?

    We would never have asked for any of this
    A chemistry that's as black as any abyss
    Before our eyes, deep in our minds hope is swallowed
    A bleak despair in the air fills the hollows

    One day we all will mean nothing
    Shallow graves to tomb the suffering
    And the pale horse's reins pulling my heart strings

    We walk alone from natality until mortality
    We navigate lethality until fatality
    Everything that's now living will one day meet its demise
    Out of breath, out of time - a species out of its mind
