The Final Days of Sodom
And if the god that you believe in still remains Would you ask him to save us from ourselves To destroy everything we’ve made And remove all the poison from this well And I will tell you, long ago there was beauty Beneath this cathedral of rust Something glorious that never returns To the sound of the world beneath us And in the caverns where the few things still remain All is older than us An ancient beauty in the mazes of the spirits That hide in this forest of ghosts But for now we can only hope That behind the metal trees there still remains Some semblance of primeval beauty But here, those gods are slain And once, so long ago we had something to believe in But now we only have the hope That desolation cometh soon for us And will leave behind nothing but ghosts

There is a city in the shadow of the mountain Where footsteps turn to echoes in the sand Faces are a blur of colors, failing to take form Words return to senders’ lips in the form of scattered hands Children dance in terminal deceit before the ghost Who watches on with hopelessness as he is choked By smoke and ash that billow from the ever reddened ground Life and death in the shadow of the arches of a crown This city, it becomes you This skyline, it consumes you You will never be one of us The circle may never break The tongue perched on dry lips, to speak through staggered breath Hopeful eyes unsheath themselves to beg for life from death Leather skin surrounds the wounded beast that crawls His wings collapse in crumbled heaps, beneath the sun, silence falls The wall opens up like a gaping maw to consume the dying mass And from the maw steps forth a man in an ancient golden mask He looks down upon the failing limbs and organs of the lost And says “for all your life you’ve been searching for your god” “Here I am” The golden mask, the glory of enlightenment The spirit fades and transcends but I am always present The golden mask, the glory of enlightenment The spirit fades and transcends but I am always present I can help you shed your skin of sorrow I can mend the bones you broke wandering here I can carry you before the conquering sun I can hide you in a temple bare I can help you shed your skin of sorrow I can mend the bones you broke wandering here I can carry you before the conquering sun I can hide you in a temple bare

Black is the water, grey is the sky Lying in black filth praying to die I told you to run You called me a liar Now here you are The water on fire What do you think is worse The chemicals or the blood From the carcasses You kill yourselves so slowly Lay down in the black water Lay down in the void Lay down in the black water Lay down in the void Black is the water, grey is the sky Lying in black filth praying to die Choking on ashes and hubris Cry out to your god asking “why?” Black is the water, grey is the sky Lying in black filth praying to die I told you your mistakes You scorned me forever Now here we are Dying together Ten thousand souls never know The way they were meant to be born Choking on poison you made Saving yourself from the cold Lay down in the black water Lay down in the void Lay down in the black water Lay down in the void Black is the water, grey is the sky Lying in black filth praying to die Choking on ashes and hubris Cry out to your god asking “why?”

Culture of convenience Devise their own suicide Belief in lack of seeing The future need not matter now To use all the blood and bones Leaves you all alone Anathema, cast out Stranger to your world Create mountains of waste Monuments to human destruction No more sacrifice Viewing without eyes Crawling towards to the sky Towards a dead god Humanity is wasteful Humans are the waste Fill the ground with bodies Ten million mass graves Filled with detritus Leeching off the land Killing without violence While protesting with your left hand Create mountains of waste Monuments to human destruction No more sacrifice Viewing without eyes Crawling towards to the sky Towards a dead god

Puszcza pierwotna Starożytna chwała pogańskich bogów Zniszczonych przez plagę Są krzyże Gdzie kiedyś rosły drzewa Które sięgały nieba i gdzie żyły dzikie stworzenia Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Spalić dziesięciotysięczną historię Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Pod popiołem wciąż są liście W imię fałszywego boga Zniszcz miejsca Gdzie wszystko jest starsze niż człowiek Kiedyś słońce zajaśniało wśród drzew Czy kiedykolwiek będzie tak znowu? Teraz nie widać słońca przez dym Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Spalić dziesięciotysięczną historię Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Pod popiołem wciąż są liście Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Spalić dziesięciotysięczną historię Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Pod popiołem wciąż są liście Wymień wszystko, wymień wszystko Buduj miasta z czarnego żelaza Wymień wszystko, wymień wszystko Nic, nic nie wytrzyma Starożytny świat, patrz, jak spada Raz bezimienna chwała lasu Upada na człowieka, jak wszyscy będą robić jeden dzień Bogowie lasu raz wołali do nas Ale teraz, jak twój bóg, milczą I jedyną piękną rzeczą, którą zabiliśmy Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Spalić dziesięciotysięczną historię Spalić drzewa, spalić drzewa Pod popiołem wciąż są liście Wymień wszystko, wymień wszystko Buduj miasta z czarnego żelaza Wymień wszystko, wymień wszystko Nic, nic nie wytrzyma

Liars prey on innocence The raw beauty of all of this Ten billion graves Who cares for the lesser beings? Placed on earth for human kind To kill and devour Manifest our destiny To kill and devour Given ownership By a nonexistent god In the name of a hopeless race Taking everything else down with us Placed on earth for human kind To kill and devour Manifest our destiny To kill and devour Until nothing remains Until nothing remains Until nothing remains Until nothing remains but remains So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are Who cares for the non-human? The blood is not our blood Until we run out of food Then what happens to us? Placed on earth for human kind To kill and devour Manifest our destiny To kill and devour The nobility of the animal We pretend we have lost Yet still we fall to predation We are too far gone Placed on earth for human kind To kill and devour Manifest our destiny To kill and devour Until nothing remains Until nothing remains Until nothing remains Until nothing remains but remains So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are So far away from what we were So close to all we ever are

The things we leave behind Even when we die We cannot return The rightful to the earth We leave thee with a plague A sickness to remain The nucleus of god What once was life is graves We left it to the wolves But still we kill the land Afterlife of half lives Time bleeds into sand Even the plants Refuse to retake The land abandoned A metal god on the horizon The nuclear ash Spreads over the landscape A forest of blood Death is homemade Can we ever be forgiven? For what we’ve done Taken all that we had Lost beneath the sun 300 years of death A grave for everyone To see and witness what we are The burial of god The centuries of loss Return it to nature Broken, almost gone The burial of god The centuries of loss Return it to nature Broken, almost gone Even in death We destroy what we left Somewhere far away The sun and green remains But here nothing is left But all this ash and death The nuclear waste The memory of flame Lay down on the dirt Like a corpse to remain Houses lying empty The people cried in vain To a god that hates them As they wasted away And now the place is vacant A hollow to remain The nuclear ash Spreads over the landscape A forest of blood Our death is homemade Can we ever be forgiven? For what we’ve done Taken all that we had Lost beneath the sun 300 years of death A grave for everyone To see and witness what we are The burial of god The centuries of loss Return it to nature Broken, almost gone Beyond the red forest Is a giant metal grave Can I still see you? Does anything remain? A pale apparition Beyond the way Something is said Silently As I knew you Your ghost leaves With the light Of what I once believed Something glorious The maps and mazes Speak without words The burial of god The centuries of loss Return it to nature Broken, almost gone

One day, we will remove All life from this land Leave everything a barren desert We will find the only truth Is that, as we hold this earth in our hands We will leave it dead forever We once believed in God Long ago, we were young Now we die beneath a sun That beats down upon us As the oceans start to rise As we lose all of the ice As the sky disappears Will there be anything still here? On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape One day, we will destroy All of the things we loved and cared for In a blaze of endless fire and waves And then we will employ Our only weapon against this; prayer But no one will answer any way We once believed in God Long ago, we were young Now we die beneath a sun That beats down upon us As the oceans start to rise As we lose all of the ice As the sky disappears Will there be anything still here? On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape There is only one way to prevent this Anthropocene extinction One day we will all have to die If we are to save all of the lives Of the remaining species We have slowly eaten away At the gift that we received So now it must be returned to nature We once believed in God Long ago, we were young Now we die beneath a sun That beats down upon us As the oceans start to rise As we lose all of the ice As the sky disappears Will there be anything still here? On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape One day, we will all be gone Finally nature can move on Without the black tar of humanity The forests will grow once more The sun will still shine on The sky will grow a blue that never fades We once believed in God Long ago, we were young Now we die beneath a sun That beats down upon us As the oceans start to rise As we lose all of the ice As the sky disappears Will there be anything still here? On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape On this scorched earth of wastelands forever desolate No escape There is only one way to prevent this Anthropocene extinction

Why should I believe in your god When, in his name, you kill mine? Once there was sun and green forever Now there are skeletons and city lights Somewhere beneath the ground Perhaps a god still remains He may speak only in ancient tongues Known only to the trees So long ago Was beauty here The glory fades In favor of us What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god There is a mountain Covered in snow From its peak you can see to the distance And all of the things below This is my cathedral Tatry są wieczne But one day the snow will disappear In your dead god’s name So long ago Was beauty here The glory fades In favor of us What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god For now there is beauty But for how long? If you oppose this You’re killing us all Slowly and gently But make no mistake In the end Nothing more will remain The cathedrals will crumble The snow will be gone The forests all cut down The spirits all lost The hopelessness choking The life from the land A barren rock A guilty hand Like a ghost Or a memory That is all that This shall be Like a ghost Or a memory That is all that This shall be The cathedrals will crumble The snow will be gone The forests all cut down The spirits all lost What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god The only true beauty Is that of the untouched wilderness Where animals once roamed But now, nothing more is left The river runs so smoothly But power hides within The spirit of the forest Is dying for your sins So long ago Was beauty here The glory fades In favor of us What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god The glory in the simplicity The patterns without design The endlessness we once knew All too quickly dies Vermiculate patterns Maps and mazes Of the world in it’s becoming That can never be made right again So long ago Was beauty here The glory fades In favor of us What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god For now there is beauty But for how long? If you oppose this You’re killing us all Slowly and gently But make no mistake In the end Nothing more will remain The cathedrals will crumble The snow will be gone The forests all cut down The spirits all lost The hopelessness choking The life from the land A barren rock A guilty hand Like a ghost Or a memory That is all that This shall be Like a ghost Or a memory That is all that This shall be The cathedrals will crumble The snow will be gone The forests all cut down The spirits all lost What if the damage can never be undone? Are we too far gone? The innocent we left behind Dying without their god
