Mass Extinction Event
03:07
|

War!
The shrieking faces, the burning flesh
The ashes fell like snow that day
Our efforts brought us, a dying earth
...and her funeral sky was grey
The total destruction, of all life as we know it
The splendorous majesty of the beckoning void
The end of suffering, of the world we spoiled
This is what we've seen...glimmering in the dust
Radiation
Mass eradication
Hail the final salvation, the end of all things
Erase all signs of life
Wipe the slate
Architects of our own demise
Rigged the game against ourselves
A glowing nuclear epitaph, for the kings and queens of self-destruction
Total war!
Radiation
Mass eradication
Wipe the slate
Ashes fell like snow...and all the world was silent

The Fear Takes Hold
05:10
|
|||
Born in dirt
Burrow down, and as you dig towards the bottom
Know it's only getting worse from here
The fear takes hold, as you meet the empty stares of the cattle by your side
Livestock, bred for consumption
We were wrong
And this is the terror...this it, isn't it?
Hopelessly grasping at straws without substance
The vain hopes of this speck of dust
The masters who bind you, the bastards they lead
Holding you down
Their knives, and their teeth and the stench of disease
Bleeding you, killing you
No time for sleep
Burrow down, dig faster little maggot
If not, the eye will see...
The fear takes hold, as you meet the empty stares of the cattle by your side
Livestock, bred for consumption
Their cold hands
Killing...bleeding you
They own you, and everything you'll ever have is theirs to take
They tell you to smile
To laugh while they're strangling you, bleeding you dry
Smile! Aren't you thankful we whipped you? Aren't you happy to die?
Souls defiled, dead alive
Humanity is inhumane
Absurd, grotesque existence
Insanity is to be sane
Souls defiled, dead alive
Through the bottomless pit
We exist to be broken
Neverending defeat, at the hands of a lingering shadow
As your face hits concrete, know it was always too late
On your feet, to the end of the tunnel
Where no light awaits...
Another mangled carcass
Another body for the pile
Another meaningless, swiftly forgotten corpse
Just more dirt in the ground

Graveyard Planet
02:12
|
|||
Down is the only way now
We're rats on a sinking ship...
We'll spiral into ruin, into war
'til nothing's left
Nothing here but bones, and the plague we left upon the land
Lambs to the slaughter
Heirs to a stillborn dream
We are...doomed since before birth
Death is all that awaits
We are the blind
Smiling as we fall
We are the forsaken
Dying alone
A vision of the future
A barren field of bones

A Cancer Divine
02:56
|
|||
Bring forth the nectar of denial
Unholy, liquid death
Inject the dream of serenity
Into that gaping wound
Killing yourself just to feel...just to feel something
I invade your every cell
Like a cancer divine
I am...
I am what you most crave
I am the bringer of death
Let my tendrils
Purge your mind
Deny existence
Deny!
Give in...to oblivion
Sink into my formless void
Released from your prison
Deep in dreamless sleep

Pig Hunt
00:45
|
|||
Fascist state controls our fate, monopoly on violence
Time for payback little pig, ’cause now the hunt is on
Macho asshole, braindead pig
Licensed bully with a fucking gun
Beating kids makes your dick real hard, keeping people scared
Abusing your power
To protect and serve the masters
Cut you down!
Pig hunt!

We’re dying, keep trying but there is no use - no point to the ruse
Won’t be long, all hope gone and buried in dirt - a pox on the earth
We’re so lethargic, so fucking content
Sleepwalking through our own grave
Down here with the living dead
Endless, faceless, spineless
Drowning in a sea of corpses
World dying, keep lying, keep telling yourself - it’s not too late
Keep pissing on everything within your reach - sealing our fate
We’re so lethargic, so fucking content
Sleepwalking through our own grave
Rotting away in the darkness
Trapped here in eternal night
We've sold everything
Surrendered our souls to the blight

In Your Own Image
04:28
|
|||
All the hate, all the bile, all the rage
Every beating you've been given, every twisted word they shrieked
The regret, the denial, all the pain
All the hate, all the pain
Every promise that you've broken, every dirty lie you tell yourself
Just to stay alive
Pack it up and hand it one step further down the line
All the hate, all the pain
We are the legions of death
Brought into this world to end it
We are absolute destruction, absolute tyranny
In your own image
The virus multiplies
In your own image
While everything dies
The rivers will run red
This world will end in fire
Through the curse of consciousness
Self-replicating plague
You think this time will be different?
You think this time we'll be saved?
Why?

Tide of Sickness
02:31
|
|||
Repression! Deception!
Brainwashed herd, invisible chains
There is no exit
From this sickening place
At the breaking point
Eyes bloodshot, hope dissolving as the bastards preach their gospel:
Produce-consume-obey-repeat
Be a good little monkey
Regurgitate the bile
Our hell, this cursed rock in space
Crawling through the flood of shit we call the human race
The only thing that I can see
Tide of sickness drowning me
Produce-consume-obey-repeat
Be a good little monkey

Nothing is the Truth
03:50
|
|||
You think you stem from divinity
You think you know, the secret
You, true believer of the lie
Hubris manifest
Fractured, fragmented
Exponentially distorted
A vile disease, imagining itself into existence
Apex virus
An imperfection in the prism
A tiny, pus-filled wound in the fabric of the universe
This is all we are
It's a lie
There is no purpose
Nothing is the truth
Nothing

Burn!
Burn it all away!
Every night is just the same
Neverending ritual
Prepare the oil, climb the stairs
Every night is just the same
Light leads the way
Through worm-filled mouths and empty stares
Through endless halls of repetition
The light leads the way
Every night is just the same
"It's all a dream, my friend"
That's what the hanged man said
Ashes spilling from his mouth
"It's all a dream and nothing matters"
Eyes...like worlds long dead, expired
A fistful of stars
Black phlegm spilling from his mouth
It's all a dream and nothing matters
Strike the match, light flickers
And trips along the skin
Burnt flesh ballerina, dances in the end again
Burn...lick the flame, absorb, devour
A fistful of stars
To burn it all away
I SEE THE LIGHT
