A fear of violent death
Looming like darkened clouds
A brief and pointless life
A swift and brutal end
Yours is a life that is callous, hollow and long
Drowning in frigid rains
Cowering in darkened caves
Ripped to shreds by beasts and stone
Bleeding out cold and alone
The conman who planted your ancient seeds
Condemned you to suffer, forever enslaved
Crawling in filth, malnourished, diseased
A life of forced labour, you'll never be free
The lie you tell yourself
That we failed and you progressed
Does it comfort you in your dying breath?
Yours is a life that is callous, hollow and long
The forests are burning, you're rife with disease
No freedom, no future, die slow on your knees
You're condemned to suffer, forever enslaved
By conmen who planted your ancient seeds

Days of freedom vanished
Memories long dead
Your life is now devoted to toil, instead
Gone are days of leisure
Exploration, art and rest
Your life is now devoted to soil, instead
Wretched men in temples
Appease them 'til your dead
A life of blind devotion, or prison instead
Starving and decaying
Withered crops and stale bread
A life of blind devotion, starvation and dread
Never should we settle
No seed should we have sown
Robbed of all our freedom
For this new sedentary home
The first to plant seeds
And draw lines in the land
They destroyed everything
They robbed us of the world
We take more than she gives
And we never replace
We're condemned with disease
Inflicted by they're greed
Population, degradation, genocide, starvation
Holocaust, radiation, total war, contamination.
Population, degradation, genocide, starvation
Holocaust, radiation, total war, contamination.
You'll work to death
Starving and poor
Rife with disease
Or crushed by war
You're robbed of life
Of wilderness
You'll never know
What you have missed
Docile we plant seeds
Obey lines in the land
They destroyed everything
They robbed us of the world

Thankful to have passed
Before the horrors of your time
Resigned to the past
A better day gone by
Placed by my loved ones
In unpolluted ground
Lost to the eons
Never to be found
I've known the clearest skies
Eternity before my eyes
A world you'll never know
Before your seeds were sown
Before we were blind, by polluting light
An endless night sky
When forests still stood, not fields of stumps
on burnt, toxic ground
Now you desecrate all we held sacred
You carve up the land, waging war in the dirt
Enslaved in your fields, rotten and diseased
This is not a life, it is better to have died
I am grateful I never knew your world
confined to the past, safely entombed in stone
Gratefully confined to the distant past
A pristine world, doomed not to last
Grateful to have died
Before your future comes to pass

A blast of brilliant light
Bring forth a burning star
Disintegrating fire
An all consuming death
All bodies torn to shreds
Flesh melts and peels from bone
A millions specs of dust
Erased from existence
As fire consumes
What have we done?
A burning rage
A blast of brilliant light
Bring forth a burning star
Disintegrating fire
An all consuming death
Cancer that tears apart the soul
Test subject sterilised
And all against my will
Daughter, you never will grow old
Disintegrating bones
Enforced against my will

Return To The Cave
05:17

Put me back in the cave
Put me back in the forest
Take me out of this place
Take me back, give me peace
Every day is a nightmare
Every week is a struggle
And all the months blend in to one, the years pissed away
Bones ground to dust building monuments to false gods
Billionaires dragged from their homes
Slaughtered on the blood stained streets
Cities burning to the ground
Infrastructure tossed aside
Take this all away
Put me back in the cave
Return the wood to the forest
Return the stone to the landscape
Take us backwards to peace
Out of this modern hellscape
its been Decades of slaughter
Centuries of struggle
Millenia blend into one, the world a mass grave
Bones ground to dust building monuments to false gods
Ruling class ripped from their homes
Slaughtered on the streets outside
Cities burning to the ground
Infrastructure tossed aside
From the ashes we will rise
The modern ages smoke fills the sky
Our legacy of failure will die
The modern ages smoke fills the sky
Return ourselves to a simple time
The modern ages smoke fills the sky
From the ashes we will rise
The modern ages smoke fills the sky

Terrifying Revelry
02:05
|
|

Tearing down the monuments of misery
Smashing the old world down to dust
Consumed by terrfiying revelry
Ridding the world of those corrupt
Making up for lost time
A vast new wilderness
Life no longer confined
By those in control put to death
Those in control put to death
Tearing down the monuments of misery
Smashing the old world down to dust
Consumed by terrfiying revelry
Ridding the world of those corrupt

Primeval Burial
04:16
|
|
||
In the heart of a wilderness
Far from civilisations ruin
By firelight laid to peaceful rest
Beneath the stars, the cosmic ocean
A monument carved of ancient stone
Soon to be lost and over grown
A tranquil, calm, primeval forest
Where I finally find my rest
A life well spent, roaming wild and free
At one with nature, as we were destined to be
Return to mother soil, become one with the Earth
A life lived long and well, as all deserve
