Are we going to die from our own arrogance?

I’m not really trying to say anything profound here, but the last post reminded me of something I heard the other day. I was listening to an old band I used to love and heard a cover of Bad Religion’s song, “We Only Gonna Die From Our Own Arrogance”. It’s a short old track from an 80-90′s punk band who made a big impact on the international punk music scene.

Early man walked away as modern man took control.
Their minds weren’t all the same, to conquer was his big goal,
So he built his great empire and slaughtered his own kind,
Then he died a confused man, killed himself with his own mind.Go![x3]

We’re only gonna die from our own arrogance. [x4]

… Pretty succinct, pretty spot on. Sadly, I don’t know is whether they could have written a song to remedy this despair. Gladly, those in Christ have a song written in their hearts which remedies that problem of despair and death.
