Anoxia 02:16
I am awake (I am awake) I’m awake From my slumber Frozen in the permafrost I’m a plague (I’m your mistake) A mistake Death dealer Bubonic reaper Dormant for some centuries Pest Vetr Plague Winter A silent reckoning prays on us It bides its time while we dismiss Stuck out of time Escaped from memory Your slow decline It draws closer to your time Glaciers moan A million corpses to my name So foolish to think You could run Away from your destiny From me Humanity’s egregiousness Siberian graves spark Eternal rest The very air we breathe Is thick with disease I feel we are too late Unfeeling, unseeing The reaper bears no hate All flesh, will return to the soil Before Hell’s gate

A perfect solution Forever and ever So beautiful So malleable I never want to lose you Perfect solutions don’t come cheap Poison lurks in the mouths you feed Toxic waves Even in death No remission The colours fade But the stain remains the same Four-hundred-and-fifty cursed years of degradation Our children’s children collapse in emancipation We should have heeded the warnings Microscopic ligatures dominate your future You are a slave A slave A slave An immortal enemy A fitting foe You've reached the end of the food chain You’ve got nowhere else to go Downfall of your own creation They’ll outlive us all Monuments to selfishness This is our downfall

Inertia Haze 03:21
Synthetic sickness within 
In the water In your blood 
 Stuck in the pores of your skin 
 Undying 
 Uncompromising 
 This planet’s patience wears thin 

 In arrogance never ending 
 There is a mantra contradicting, condescending, lies 
Our toiling feels so futile as jet engines set ablaze the skies 

Inertia haze

 When the rain turns black
 The earth, the sky, the sea Start taking back 

 There is no other real choice 
 But to sink

 Can’t run away 
Find solace in your languor 
Your lungs fill up 

 No way Can’t run away Obsessed with material gain 

 We can’t breathe 
 We’re running out of time 
 City after city where you can’t see the sky 
 Richer minds rot with obsession for expansion 
 Remove the rose tinted lense
 Your world is going to end
4.
All Flesh 02:17
Wasting time is a waste of life 
 Defined by enemies
 Perfection unattainable 
 Begging for more 
 Settling for less 
 Face to the cold earth 
 Hooked on nostalgia 
 What is left? Nothing 
 What is left to say 
Caught in age 
Where everything’s the same
 Culture’s blurred

 Time passes by as you wait for your chance 
But I’m stuck here, a narcissist entranced 

I’m terrified of living
 I’m waiting here to die 
 I can’t wait to lie with the worms
 What drives me, is futility 
 What drives me, is banality 
 I might as well make use of this farcical reality 

All flesh Returns to the soil
5.
Salvation 07:49
All flesh returns to the soil All marrow returns to the sea All journeys a split second in time All life a grain of sand at your feet Terror of existence is ablaze under my skin How do I fit it all in How do I break from the mentality I find myself in? Meaning is only what you apply to everything No grand plan need burden your path Don’t follow in their footsteps The tide will wash them all away Unburdened by a social timeframe Take and give only what you need Strip away the societal pressure With no destiny, leave your soul to feed All flesh returns to the soil All marrow returns to the sea All journeys a split second in time All life a grain of sand at your feet I found purpose In nothingness It keeps me safe From the jaws of the abyss Addicted to the Hopelessness Do you accept your fate In this hell Scrape yourself From the bottom of the barrel Disregard those who don’t understand Break from the cycle Of the generations You are yours alone Forget their faces cos you’re never coming home Broken bodies Filled the void With walls And chances missed You’re never coming home All Flesh Is Grass All flesh Returns to the soil

Spirare 01:08
As I considered the words in front of me I slowly began to make my way out of the hole I had found myself in Death’s inevitability still came as a comfort But life didn’t feel so hopeless I no longer felt like I needed to follow any particular path The world around me felt just the same And I wasn’t yet at peace with that The only motivation I felt anymore was to fight what I saw in front of me I saw those at the bottom of the ladder And I saw those at the top The rungs in the middle were missing And I could see that its integrity was failing I saw an oncoming storm

The Dreich 03:31
Dissociate yourself It’s not your fault
 Exhausted, huddled masses 
 Are driven to the ground 
 Stressed, their minds are static 
 Beneath the moon they’ll make no sound 

 A life less ordinary A life worth more, worth sharing 
A lifeless husk 
 No empathy, no lust 
 Another light goes out 

 Your body shows your mind’s own truth 
 Beneath your feet the demons grew 

Fingernails claw at some dignity
 But it’s pulled away at last 
It’s pulled away at last They blamed the people On their knees For the children drowned upon the beach Unwelcome lands, the last thing that they saw Disbelief I can’t help but question why We let it get this bad Pawns beneath an unseen hand Slowly murdered Worn down to dust within our homes Undiscovered There’s no way out No way to go Lights out Night’s shroud A shadow falls Across the world Hope is crushed beneath the tracks Nothing you can do - relax It’s not your fault Die slow

Premonition Call out with fear No bustle from the hedgerow Across the water A prophecy grows Real world deathtraps An invisible slaughterhouse Cognitive dissonance Bodies burst, overflow with pus and dirt When the subsidies subsided The land had changed with the rising tide Population misguided Sleepwalking with imminent biocide Thick clouds for miles and miles Air unfit to breathe A nation’s shame foregone conclusion We face the same fate With perfect clarity, we’ll hear the final coin drop It was us against the world We were on the wrong side From on high the sirens ring The only thing you’ll hear In this silent spring Pesticide overkill A cursed cure A fog you cannot see through Pain you can’t hope to endure Now you know how it feels To be knifed in the back When we bend nature The world will bend back Injustice that you seek to reap Lies fester in your mouth Grow roots between your teeth Your soul face down Six feet beneath Feed the earth so starved it wants only what you bleed Victims of an industry Born and bred for you A life destroying dynasty Nothing left to sell nothing left to lose You’ve seen the damage done The pain that lies in wait that’s still come The skies don’t lie, the evil will come The moon will rise, crimson and full

Blood Moon 05:28
Cold earth 

 As I gather my thoughts 
I’m met with spectres of a time gone by 
 Tendrils grow from blasted windows 
 A sight for my weary, bloodshot eyes 

Spoiled for choice for reasons why 
No human scourge the planet thrives 
 I take a closer look inside 
No sign of struggle 
 A bloodless war fought in our minds 

Information overload 
 A fractured state 
 We ignored the silence 
 From the birdcage 

 We all wanted a simpler existence 
 Greed of the elders made for slaves of the infants 
Time passed by 
The flames grew high 

 You had everything you needed 
Everything that you could ever want 
 You lost your way 
 You lost your way It’s over The prophecy is fulfilled Let us bath once more In the crimson dark Around us and within us Give yourself over to the earth You are whole once more
