Name: paper tiger
Duration: P00H03M12S
Description: Life is a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster where the hunters become the hunted and the weak become the strong. In the end no one cares and our world will dwindle, for time sheds no tear. It's a song that centers around nihilism, misanthropy and the inevitable end. Paper tigers are plenty, but the real tigers are few. Who are you?

lyrics

Fall in line; fall in line
It’s time to end time
The hourglass is running out
The sands of time end all doubt

Hunt the hunters
Gather the gatherers
It’s crystal clear
Time sheds no tear
Slitting the throat of the universe
The Creator can imagine nothing worse

Eat the affluent
Curb your temperament
It’s crystal clear
Time sheds no tear
Kill the creator
Eternal endeavor

Will you stand the test?
Before you fall in line
Everyone sing: “It’s time to end time”
It’s the end of mankind
It’s the end of all
