1.	Primal 01:06
2.	Nasty, Brutish, Short 02:16	lyrics
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
3.	The Worst Mistake In Human History 04:21	lyrics
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
4.	Gratefully Confined To The Past 06:41	lyrics
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
5.	Enforced Radiation Sickness 05:51	lyrics
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
6.	Return To The Cave 05:17	lyrics
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
7.	Terrifying Revelry 02:05	lyrics
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
8.	Primeval Burial 04:16	lyrics
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
