Death - Altering The Future

From the album "Spiritual Healing" (1990).


Lyrics:

Creating a life only to destroy
Saved from a life of the unemployed
Where crime is the only way to survive
Which is the best to be dead or alive?
Maybe a chance but maybe not
Born to be thrown in the trash to rot
To exist in this world may be a mistake
The one who is with child, it's their choice to make

Death and life taken so easily
Right or wrong, whose choice will it be?

Abortion, when it is needed
Execution, for those who deserve it
The giving and taking of life will always be
Altering the future

[Solos: Shuldiner, Murphy]

Look into the future to prepare us for our fate
Controlling our existence with every life we take

Life for a life should remain the rule
The innocent victim that is what's cruel
Look to the past is what we should do
When justice was done and justice was true
Using our laws to help their escape
An easy way out is what they create
Claiming insane is the way to freedom
People are stupid enough to believe them

Death and life taken so easily
Right or wrong, whose choice will it be?

Abortion, when it is needed
Execution, for those who deserve it
The giving and taking of life will always be

@swrdelandster It's human right to get knocked up and then just kill it like it doesn't matter? Yes I listen to Death and "is" against abortion. That just means I know good music while not condoning the irresponsible and unjust murder of humans by teenage sluts and doctors. But like @yerpaljesus said, black and white logic does not apply to these subjects.

@DavidDecapitation

You listen to death and is against abortion ?

This is death metal ffs....who gives a shit....

Death spawned all the later death metal bands.

Abortion is a human right.

What man create - man can destroy

Individuality...right :)

[DavidDecapitation]

@yerpaljesus I adore everything you've just said.

[yerpaljesus]

@DavidDecapitation Well I don't think he was pro anything. He just says..."Right or wrong, whose choice will it be?" This country is so morally backwards, we kill when it suits us and preserve life when it's futile. Now it would seem logical to me to have an abortion if you're about to have a baby that's addicted to crack. It also makes sense, to eliminate an individual from a society, that has the desire to kill. Black and white logic does not apply to these subjects. It's all too personal.

Death and life taken so easily

Right or wrong, whose choice will it be?

Abortion, when it is needed

Execution, for those who deserve it

The giving and taking of life will always be

Altering the future

@DavidDecapitation I kinda think he means obortion with the first verse. Saying that "The one who is with child, it's their choice to make" and the second one is talking about execution. "Life for a life should remain the rule" = Kill another human, you get the axe... "Death and life taken so easily Right or wrong, whose choice will it be?" At least that's what I think...

DEATH IS THE BEST.
