Earth Mother 04:23
Witness your kingdom Witness its final breath Tortured, tormented Until there’s nothing left Waste has clogged her arteries As oil spills into the seas Fractured bones of dying beasts Amongst the ruins of the trees Waking up from her blissful slumber Her power increased To decrease our numbers Hurricanes and tidal waves A product of her anger Mother Gaia rises to eliminate the parasites We have brought this upon ourselves We have caused the death of everything We need to change Our evil ways So that nature may reign again We need to break Our hearts of stone Open ours before all is lost Rise to power Mother Gaia Rise to power Mother of The Earth We have brought this upon ourselves We have caused the death of everything Of every living thing Rise to power Mother of The Earth Rise to power Mother Gaia Rise to power Mother of The Earth

Doomsday 03:27
Reproduction, mass destruction Feed the system, chaos reigns Over population, infestation Malnourished children, chaos reigns This is the enemy Reproduce to kill us all This is the enemy Over populate the world Let famine descend To take us all Let the earth rejoice Let it be restored Polluted ocean, killing the foundation Reverse evolution, chaos reigns Carcinogenic chemicals giving birth to cancer cells Brain dead society, chaos reigns This is the enemy Reproduce to kill us all This is the enemy Over populate the world Let famine descend To take us all Let the earth rejoice Let it be restored Armageddon, annihilation Decimation, devastation Doomsday
3.
Leaders using false pretences Gaining power and governance Throwing money at whores of society Control starts at the drop if a dime Feeding fear with false accusations War begins with mass manipulation Chaos comes to those that can afford it At the expense of the innocent Our leaders, kings and queens have failed us We will all die alone With no one to give a shit about the outcome Our next generation will reap what we sow False claims of forgotten lands Ancestors buried in a pile of waste Soil used for food production Traded for a stupid solution Ignorance, their key to persuasion Leads the sheep to their demise Baring the fruit of indigenous slaughter Stab you in the front, stab you in the back Our leaders, kings and queens have failed us We will all die alone With no one to give a shit about the outcome Our next generation will reap what we sow This is the death of man When ignorance reigns This is the death of unity When ignorance reigns This is the death of man When ignorance reigns This is the death of unity When ignorance reigns

Open your weary eyes Gaze upon the sun open up your heart Your life has just begun Open up your soul There’s along way left to go Open up your mind There isn’t much more time Erasing all that’s kind Feeding off the weak Destroyer of mankind Nature suffers still The fear of something Is the fear of nothing The fear of something Is the fear of everything Rise up fearless love The fear of something Is the fear of nothing The fear of something Is the fear of everything Rise up fearless love
5.
Beyond the bloodstained horizon There’s an evil that eyes cannot see Moving through the darkness of shadows Enshrouded by the mirror image of lust Blackened eyes enchanted with flame Born from the impact of a falling star The heavens give way at the sight of his madness Witches take flight to embrace this demon Sickness and pestilence attack To strike down the heroes of light Morbid faces turn to laughter As the demon ensnares the world There’s no man that can kill this demon Empowered by tears and screams Disease does not affect him And death cannot take him Give praise to the prince Give praise to your future king Long live the prince Long live your king Sickness and pestilence attack To strike down the heroes of light Morbid faces turn to laughter As the demon ensnares the world This world is there for the taking By the lord of darkness himself This battle is already won By the prince of tribulation

Possession 04:45
7.
No remorse and no restrain The blood will fall and stain the future We look away but cannot take it The truth is real, life has no meaning Take one step forward, awaken the beast Release your anger onto your victim Take one step back, look at yourself Are you a man, or just a coward? Poison the soul, erase all lifeforms Remove what makes, what makes us human Infect your heart with so much hate Remove the air that keeps you alive Take one step forward, awaken the beast Release your anger onto your victim Take one step back, look at yourself Are you a man, or just a coward? Open the flood gates Let the blood flow There’s a murderer amongst us all Open the gates of hell Let the flesh burn away There’s a murderer amongst us all

Petrichor 03:16
The smell of the earth after the rain As ruthless waters breach the borders of our lands Nature in full force, awakens our fear Are we being judged? Or are we being destroyed? Let the rain fall Destruction and fatality speaks of judgement Can we survive the onslaught of the elements Thunder rumbles as it falls Lightning strikes Piercing the sky After the fearful storm The sun will break through the clouds I hear the birds heralding life I smell a new earth, a cleansed earth The smell of the earth after the rain The smell of the earth after the rain Will quench our thirst and wash us again

I called your name I seeked your face You were never there To answer me I dropped to my knees I begged and pleaded But you never listened You never cared I kiss your lips I taste the poison I cannot breathe I cannot live I kiss your lips I taste the poison I cannot breath I cannot live Beautiful Beautiful deadly god
