Futility
04:52
|

Work your fingers to the bone until you fall
Cyclic path repeated over and over
Breathe the smoke in under the pale light
The only way out is in a box
Trapped implies that there is somewhere to escape to
Led through the maze, oblivion at your heels
Fed only constant lies to make you work harder
Grinding forward the only acceptable path

Hubris

What made you never wonder
What made you feel safe
Can you feel the ground moving
Can you see the sky falling
Weakness and arrogance
Stampeding off a cliff
Falling to your deaths
Still in utter disbelief
Programmable slaves
Work yourself into your grave
Do as your owners say
Don't question your masters

Apex Cannibals
06:41
|

Panic clouding sound judgement
Running blindly through the dark
Fear impairing clear perception
And it will seal your fate
Soon you will fall
You will try to keep going
But it will be to late
We are the apex predators
And we hunt ourselves
All have their reasons
All are just excuses
Humans are predators
And they always hunt
We can't be civilized
We just kill each other
Some kill for organizations
To make others feel safe
Some kill for armies
Waging the wars of the rich
Some kill for passion
For madness and blood
Some kill for chaos
Bringing no meaning at all

Black Harvest
06:02
|

Master! Called from the void
Come forth and ride tonight!
The harvest is ready for slaughter
Ripe and fat on the vine
Fly in the night, on wings as white as stone
They come to turn you loose from your flesh and bones
There's nowhere you can hide if they've come for your soul
The riders of the dead return, they've come to take us home
Pray! Cry out to your gods!
Though pity from them you shall not find
The old ones returning from after
To bring us back with them

Narrow minded views
Incapable of thinking
So caught up in little games
Keeping up appearances
Believing modern life so advanced
Weakness completely ignored
Believe whatever lies you're fed
And fear the monsters in the dark
Submit
Obey
Breed
Consume
You must strive to be
The model citizen
Make lots of money
Work as much as demanded
Willingly enslave yourself
To a system inwhich you don't matter
Beat yourself to death
Only to be thrown in the fire

Ravenous Oblivion

Smashing
Deafening
Screaming
Void
Snuffed out
Ripped apart
Ravenous
Oblivion
It was never avoidable
The only question was when
Mankind destroys itself
Over and over
Nuclear weapons
Just the latest way to kill us all
The silence is hungry
And soon it will feast
Pray
Pretend
Your god will save you
You need
Your delusion
So you don't panic
Beg
Bargain
None of it matters
Greed
Arrogance
Everyone will die

Hollow Promises
04:36

Followed the path set out
Learned the way you were told
Told you would succeed
You followed the rules
You think you can escape
You think that there's a light
You think that you can make it
Living hand to mouth
They lied to you
Sold you a bogus life
Promised prosperity
Only delivered slavery
American society
A closed elitist state
Keep the wealthy in power
Work harder to keep them rich
And they will promise rewards
If you will only run yourself ragged
Burn yourself completely
For the sake of your master

Catastrophe Awaits
05:04
|

Woe to thee o modern man
Built of weaker stock
Drinking poisoned water
Eating of the spoiled flock
Poisoned from birth with chemicals
Who aim to keep you safe
To protect our weakened beings
In our mutated state
Disease
Rampant in the world
Cancer
Our bodies fight themselves
Insanity
Poisoned wombs make tainted young
Controlled
By the drugs that they give us
Synthetic
Mutant
Population
Dependent on a broken system
Corporate
Unintentional
Eugenics
Twisting us for profit
Wickedness a way of life
Cruelty commonplace
Death lurks behind incompetence
Catastrophe awaits
Drinking lies deeply
A promise of clean living
But further down the darkest path
Is all that they are giving

The End
04:45
|
|||
I bring before you the closing
The end of the last act
The sunset of humanity
Before fading into black
I report no understanding
A species deserving death
To leave what's left of planet Earth
For whoever may come next
No false gods constructed could save us in the end
The words of the prophets burn away forever
Humanity was given a test
To see if we were worthy
To rise above our pettiness
And be the better beings
Instead we chose selfishness
And it has brought us death
We shall have no sympathy as we draw our dying breath
