Let The Insects Rule

(album: The Noble Rot - 2020)

No plan survives human contact
The odds are not on your side they're all stacked
We had our chance, we had our way
But now it's time to dig our own graves

Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let them learn from, let them learn from the fools
Let the insects, let the insects rule

Eight legs on the cross to pray to
Let them become the boss, you had to
Yeah they were first and we were cursed
Don't be afraid it couldn't get much worse

Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let them learn from, let them learn from the fools
Let the insects, let the insects rule

They spoke in a language of clicks and ticks
They hid in the cracks and the city bricks
Laughed at us all and gathered their crumbs
As we bet it all on opposable thumbs
The higher they climbed, the deeper we sank
Until number one was no longer our rank
Trust us they said we won't leave you for dead
Trust us they said as they cut off our heads

Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let them learn from, let them learn from the fools
Let the insects, let the insects rule

Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let the insects, let the insects rule
Let them learn from, let them learn from the fools
Let the insects, let the insects rule
