lyrics

Born alone, destined to survive alone until the end
Like a leaf in an autumn storm
But through the mist I sense a variety of life surrounding me
Sometimes familiar and sometimes I can’t relate at all

Should I consider them friends or foes?
Will I benefit or lose?

Alone some storm the earth and take their preys
But when they weaken, the bitter scythe of death awaits
So with full force together some gloriously survive
Within a pecking order, of blood deprived

We gathered together and achieved heights I never could have reached alone
And we flourished like a blossom
But then all that we gained had to be divided…
I fought until I fell for my share within this hierarchy of hell

Have my allies become my foes?
I have to fight before I lose!

Alone some storm the earth and take their preys
But when they weaken, the bitter scythe of death awaits
So with full force together some gloriously survive
Within a pecking order, of blood deprived

‘Du bist nichts, dein Volk ist alles!’

I was pecked until I bled, yet I was warned for dangers from the skies
Moral behaviour evolved to establish the welfare of the tribe
Altruism and empathy
Crucial instincts to cooperate as a successful race

But in the end, it’s each for its own survival
Whether we share together or take alone
Whether we use each other’s abilities to stay alive
Or whether we strangle others and parasitise

With full force together we gloriously survive
Within a pecking order, of blood deprived
