Lyrics Only the Ruthless Remain - Skinless

Only the Ruthless Remain

No honor, no code
Fighting for survival
What was unified fails
Devolved creation
With only one goal
Survival day to day
Hostile environment
Violent conditions
Berserk, amok, insane
Hardens mankind’s fate
Empathy fades away
Blood, battle
There’s no allegiance
Only to oneself
Friends, family slaughtered in terror
Not retribution or revenge
Blindly killing, possessed by fear
Berserk, amok, insane
Frenzied, desperate charge, rampage killer
Empathy fades away
Hardens mankind’s fate
Empathy fades away
When only the ruthless remain
All benevolent acts have been in vain
Idealistic values sacrificed
What shall come to pass
When only the ruthless remain
Struggle, fail
There’s no allegiance
Act only as one
Kill them all, even your own
They’ll turn on you for less
Blindly killing, possessed by fear
Berserk, amok, insane
Frenzied, desperate charge, rampage killer
Empathy fades away
Hardens mankind’s fate
Empathy fades away
Season of violence
Subjects of destruction
Dark valley of death
Souls extracted from this earth
Purgatory ends
For another to begin
Pulled down below
By an unknown force
Tortured, beaten
Malnourishment and famine
Diseased demise
Souls extracted from this earth
Religion erased
Beliefs debased
Burning heat, sears the flesh
Boils the skin, melts the bones
Organs liquefied, then evaporated
Soul has left, to be pulled back in
To a mortal hell that will never end
Impaled by the beast and left to rot
In time, you’ll wait, you’ll wonder, you’ll die
In Time, you’ll fight, you’ll fail, you’ll die
When only the ruthless remain
