Under a Vigilant Eye

I am awakened, Long had I slept while chaos had reigned
I have watched while this virus has spread
Little is left untouched, almost nothing left pure
The filth spread like an infection, but now it must be purged
Man was given dominion, master of all
Everything has turned to ruin, all is left to rot
The land left scarred by war, the fields left interfile by greed
The waters now poisoned, the air carries disease
They give no reverence for the earth, nor the value of life
They destroy themselves for control of the meek
A roiling malady, unable to align and evolve
They lust for extinction while they feed on the strife
They were given the earth, chosen to be stewards
How quickly the system collapsed and disorder ensued
They were given their chance to rule as guardians
This plague must be cleansed, I must start anew
They give no reverence for the earth, nor the value of life
They destroy themselves for control of the meek
A roiling malady, unable to align and evolve
They lust for extinction while they feed on the strife
Begotten to less than worms. Groveling in their filth.
They beg for forgiveness, but they've had their chance
They have forsaken their only charge
There will be no benevolence
Eradication is imminent, no turning back now
The age of man will come to an end
Judgment of their last light. Before me they bow, supplicants
They give praise and plead to be heard
Eons to prove themselves worthy
Words now fall on deaf ears, annihilation comes soon

Swarm of Ruin
04:37
|
|||
|
Selfish and worthless, the scum latch on
They aspire to suck the land dry
Nothing is given in return
There is no reverence for the gifts of the earth
Gnawing and biting, they rip at her flesh
They tear down the forests, no stone left unturned
Colonies are built and continue to spread
They will keep growing until there is nothing left
A festering wound
Infected, and spreading
Replicate and consume
There’s no tend to this scourge
Producing heirs to continue their lines
This swarm of ruin presses on
Overpopulating and consuming
With the ferocity of locust, they devour
Feeding and seizing, their hunger is insatiable
No consequence considered for the devastation
The system begins to collapse
Reproducing without consideration
The natural order comes under strain
Resources have become depleted
But they are replaced and the cycle endures

Of Pestilence & Filth
06:23
|
|||
|
So astute within their ivory palace
Assuming themselves a royal throne
Belief nothing done was wrong
All balance has been lost
Mankind was never meant to rule this world
but to maintain order in the system
The thirst for supremacy cannot be quenched
It is too late to reverse the damage done
humanity has left destruction in its wake
The Earth is bleeding, there's nothing to mend
The rivers run black with the filth you discard
The soil is corrupted with fabricated death
The skies have darkened from the pylons they've built
The pestilence is carried by all that has breath
Mankind was never meant to rule this world
but to maintain order in the system
The thirst for supremacy cannot be quenched
It is too late to reverse the damage done
The rivers run black with the filth you discard
The soil is corrupted with fabricated death
The skies have darkened from the pylons they've built
The pestilence is carried by all that has breath

Reign of Avarice
04:14
|
|||
|
Observe as the puppets play to the elite's hand
Obeying every command
Walking blindly on a contorted path
Simple pawns in a game one-sided
The elected are easily bought and sold
The freedom of choice is just a petty illusion
Only a parlor tricked used by the masters
To hide the truth of the chaos constructed
Fear used as control
Forging a thirst for this bloodshed
These rivalries last for a lifetime
The cycle will never ever end
Fear used as control
Forging a thirst for this bloodshed
The elected are easily bought and sold
The freedom of choice is just a petty illusion
Only a parlor tricked used by the masters
To hide the truth of the chaos they've constructed
The puppets will never take back control
The twisted strings will never become frayed
The path will only become more gnarled
The pawns shall be cast aside as they fall
Feeding on the dreams of the meager and weak
Aspirations for peace are cast aside
War has become law and it will remain
Avarice shall forever reign

The Desolation of Beasts
04:06

|
And if it moves, then too shall it fall
Man has become the greatest virus
Killing not to live, but for sport
Armaments assembled to overpower the wild
Culling the weak and thinning their herds
The strong remain, but on borrowed time
They too will fall to the almighty parasite
Man has become the greatest virus
Killing not to live, but for sport
The thrill of the hunt cannot be sated
With no restraint, all beasts will perish
Blood is the scent, blood is the taste
They seeks trophies to bolster their pride
Their fragile egos more valued than life
The wilderness calls to quench their thirst
Blood is the scent, blood is the taste
The wilderness calls to quench their thirst
Dead and gone, another species extinct
Irreparable damage done to the system
Less evolved, less crucial to man
The desolation of beasts marches on
Blood is the scent, blood is the taste
The wilderness calls to quench their thirst
Less evolved, less crucial to man
The desolation of beasts marches on

Mankind's Dissemblance
06:46
|
|||
|
Like two faces on a coin, the duality of man
The honest man and the liar, forever at war
But the system is unbalanced, the will of the liar is stronger
With a desire to destroy everything in his path
Selfless, The honest man brings hope
He cares not for himself, but for all
But the liar will always best the honest man with deceit
The malevolent will always overpower the virtuous
- Chorus -
Only when they've torn down all the trees and the rivers run dry
Will they finally see the damage they have done
but its all too late the trial has failed
The mother has awaken to reset corruption
- Post Chorus -
Deceived by the liar, the good has become wicked
Enticed to wage their wars, to drop their bombs
All hope is lost, there is no truth left to find
They will destroy what’s left of this world
(Chorus) x2
(Post Chorus)
All hope is lost, there is no truth left to find
They will destroy what’s left of this world
Reckless advancement of unstable ideals
Under false flags and empty gods, the world is dying
Senseless pride in invisible confines spread hate
The process cannot be reversed, Mankind must be erased
(Post Chorus)
(Chorus) x2

Ancient Obsolescence

Not the first, nor are they the last.
Mankind shall fall as all the rest.
Though she slept
She has seen the terror of their ways
Awakened, waging war she will take no more
She’s seen it before; thirst for power, the lust for blood
They’ve all been erased, their kingdoms forgotten
They were powerful, but she destroyed them all
Now the time has come for mankind, with doom she comes
Not the first, nor are they the last
Mankind shall fall as all the rest
Five times before had great species lived
Civilizations born from the earth, extinguished
Five times before had her trials failed
Blind by arrogance they were all led
Astray
She is conscious now
Her mind dwells on one thing
The destruction of mankind - x2
Not the first, nor are they the last
Mankind shall fall as all the rest
Their demise is within sight (Within sight)
Soon they will face eternal night.
Mankind has had its time in the warmth of light
She has come now to drown them
Drown them in the night
Eternal
Had its time in the light
Return to the night.

Apercu II: Abrogation
05:26
|

The end has come, Her rage cannot be soothed
Resistance is meaningless, This foe cannot be overcome
Brace for the crash, the end is now.
Her roots have withered and dried
The parasites believing in their own godly lies
The children lost in disgrace
Their essence concludes on this fateful day
She has awakened, her might limitless
The threshold was reached and the purge now unfolds
The age of mankind has come to an end
Ruinous parasites, they evoked their termination
A failed experiment left uncontrolled
Vile creatures that must be put to rest
A foe without form, resistance stalls nothing
Hopeless to fight, impossible to endure
The great mother uses the very earth
To reclaim the land and begin anew
The earth cracks and her essence spills forth
The very air is poisoned, none can draw breath
The ground trembles, quakes continue to spread
The foundation of all structures crumble
Nothing will remain
History will be erased, all will be lost
Eradication is inevitable, the spires will rise
Fault lines slip, nothing stands still
Clouds of ash belch from the cracks
Mountains erupt, spewing forth liquid death
Engulfing all that was left, nothing can remain
The pillars ascend And black out the sun
The Eclipse Eternal Has begun
