On the Brink of Extinction Lyrics

Born between chaos and hatred - a lottery of fate
We sit on the brink of extinction
The world lies in wait
Just a scratch on the surface
Of time that will wash away
We delude ourselves with the notion
That we are here to stay

As life starts to shrink
An impending state of neurosis
Will we awake from this negligent narcosis?

On the brink, the brink of extinction
We're on the brink, the brink of extinction

Locked together in a mindless campaign
It's only now we see
Appreciation is the one redemption
For all that lives and breathes
Like a virus it's conscious - impure
We have farmed disease
It's time now to step back
And find an inner peace

As life starts to shrink
An impending state of neurosis
Will we awake from this negligent narcosis?

On the brink, the brink of extinction
We're on the brink, the brink of extinction

Will we avoid a natural selection?
Do we have the right to survive the failures?
Nature, it's force - the scales unbalanced
What's the next step? How do we evolve?

Can we avoid a natural selection?
Do we have the right to survive the failures?
Nature, it's force - the scales unbalanced
What's the next step? What can we resolve?

Napalm Death is a grindcore/death metal band from Birmingham, England. The band was formed in the village of Meriden near Birmingham, England in 1981 by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge.

Although other groups had previously played fast and aggressive music, Napalm Death is credited with defining the Grindcore genre through its fusion of punk and metal musical structures, aggressive playing, fast tempos, and deep guttural vocals.

There are no original members left in the band: indeed, the early history of the band is one of constant member rotation - by the second side of its debut album "Scum" in 1987, the band did not contain any original members.

Napalm Death have released 15 albums to date, the latest being "Apex Predator - Easy Meat".
