lyrics

The jaws unhinge
Bellowing virulent air
Humanity’s lungs contract, they concede
These are the last throws of a dying world

The world Panics as the terror sets in
While the rich eat the rest out of their skin
Sitting in their ivory towers
built on the backs of the common man

The beast has shown its teeth
And they chose apathy
Bearing its teeth, it threatens all
And they chose apathy

Consume, digest
Take back what is yours
You gave us life
Now take it away

Another failed experiment
The collapse of a species
At the top, what a contradiction
As they sink into an early grave

"How much blood must be spilled?
How many god’s will you pray to?
Understand there is no savior.
There never has been.
I am all consuming darkness,
I am the gnawing doubt in the back of your mind
As you slip into nothingness
Accept you were always mine.
This whole planet would be wiped clean.
Culling the cretins that pollute the air we breathe.
Stealing the innocence from children
You should have never had
You’ve done the hard work for me
Burning the flesh of this Earth
I watch forever waiting
As this planet falls to its knees"

Existence long before man came
Created or evolved the ending is the same
Taken for granted the ground beneath
Like a star light years away
You’re already deceased

We watch the grotesque unfold
As they turn on themselves

Cast out and exiled
Our control taken by the flesh
Fear Bred into the minds of billions
What sadistic manipulation

Half full, half empty
The glass is broke
The greatest flaw
In humanity

Constant hunt for something greater
Never to be satisfied
The grass is always greener
When you choose to hide

As you stare into space
Remember your insignificance
You tried and failed
Now find silence in yourself

Such a disappointment
Destroying your own home
Imagine a world without such greed
As you continue to rape this land

As you continue to rape this land
Triumphantly upon your kill you stand
Like a fucking poacher
You just brought about your own extinction

Wipe the slate clean
Never seen again

weak minded fools wandered aimlessly
Seeking answers to questions that they’ll never understand
Searching for a higher purpose
You’re nothing, you’re useless
You are but man

Clutching to the edge of the abyss.

And on this day, common sense dies
The masked overseers demand your blood
Caught in the never ending cycle
Risking it all for their unsoiled hands

I am all consuming darkness,
I am the gnawing doubt in the back of your mind
As you slip into nothingness
Accept you were always mine.

This leech
Under the skin tearing at the flesh
Leaving nothing but sinew and bone left
This Leech
Begging for freedom but finding none
We could’ve won this fight but it’s too far gone

Hang up
The noose

I want the black

pestilence spreads across the Earth
No one is safe,
the rich and poor,
all die the same

Burning to death
Drowning on land

The bodies line the trucks
Corpses Dumped into
Mass graves

Life will start anew
Atop a mass grave

Invisible wars fought without ammunition
A proxy for all excuses we’ve used for tradition
Everything we teach
Passed down by corrupt leaders
Who claimed all others were weak

They use fear
To control the masses
Still caught up in delusions
What they’ve done is right

With no one to blame
And no where to run

Such arrogance for eons
It’s time to reap what we’ve sown

For those that come after
Standing upon the ashes
Remember us
But not for what we’ve done
But what we had not
Remember us

And we
return
to the
earth
All that’s
left is
Silence
