lyrics

Our blackened future is upon us now
From choiche to mistake
Cleanse our shame away

(An) existance ever closer, we can feel it's taint
We have such sights to show you

Sulfur
crowns this spoiled realm
a sterile and desolate landscape
pierced by the last bastion of a so called

life withers below
The rotten skin on the surface

an isolated pinnacle, a shrine of coal and steel
A pyre of fear and prejudice
where a failed creation
Kindles
Where the kindred of the rightous one
(is) reshaped and biased towards obedience

This is what they covet
The safeness of control
The certainty of matter
Shackle chaos into form
inefficient and corrupted
an existence withheld
by the firmness of monotony
too scared of the unknown

Cadaverous prospect

Cruel
Patchwork of iron and skin
a wretched creator concealed
beneath the fiery abode of

Man
A manufactured swarm
Outnumbers the flaws of their nature

Her burial ground, the foundation for the human hive
Her cycle of creation
Replaced by an assembly line
A dead Goddess captive
Their mother and Queen
a thoughtless weaver
interlacing circuits and flesh

Isn't this omen both frightful and familiar?
His worn-out face and the reek of putrefaction
Alas, our words can't prevent your actions
To be enslaved or to be cast into a firm exile

Just like all the others

Witness
He who chose not to be
Deep
Sheltered in dead thoughts
Gaze within this future
behold the dead seed

The dead seed
(fatherly fire, motherly death
this could be yours
this could be you)
