And This Too Shall Pass

Watch my son, as the destruction begins Watch my son, as humanity pays for its sins Ravage the earth Rape and Destroy Looting and plundering She's left to die And you take and you take But you never repay We've forgotten where we came from Our thirst for lust and power it grows Desperately a few cling to hope This future the stars did not behold We created a monster we can't control Started the fire that swallowed us whole A world in peril and a world without hope All we are left with is This crumbling earth Tell me son, do you still believe In the afterlife that we will meet? Ravage the earth Rape and Destroy Looting and plundering She's left to die You take and you take And you never repay And the debt must be paid. In full This life that we've squandered We're past the point of no return Lost the chance to make amends Your sins are counted, now repent We created a monster we can't control Started the fire that swallowed us whole A world in peril and a world without hope All we are left with is This crumbling earth Pieces and pieces they fall This crumbling earth Nothing is left, nothing at all. A monster we can't control The fire that swallowed us whole Perilous world devoid of hope All we are left with is This crumbling earth All the signs they had seen They cried and screamed hoarse We ignored their pleas Our collective failure as human beings. Darken the waters That were once pristine Scorch the earth No trace of green Enslave the living Manufacturing disease Behold your creation The foundation was laid We built up false gods Shed blood in his name What was it all for? Deceiving the mass Unto the very end Pray wretched humans Or watch hell descend Mors Aeterna There is no coming backing This is the end No prayers will save you Death descends Terminus Of Orbis Terrarum

The rot runs deep Infected, festering The sickness is real The sickness is spreading No mass hysteria, no paranoia Oblivious and unbelieving The wound it hurts The wound it bleeds Unbearable pain Deathly screams The sickness takes hold The rising death toll And the wound it hurts And the wound it bleeds Your prayers went unheard Your god did not heal you Hurt For this world is not forgiving Faith In false gods you believe Pain The divine won't save you Believe Not in miracles or magic And he sowed the seeds For the hate to breed And he sowed the seeds A wound that cuts deep And the wound it hurts And the wound it bleeds When death's at the door No god will save you The warning signs were clear We should have paid heed Now we suffer And the flesh begins to rot And the wound reeks of an unbearable stench And the body shuts down And life gives way to death God is the weakness of man God is the death of man God is not the maker God is not the creator Human beings are wretched species We divide our race and create hate Power hungry deviant beings Lie and kill and procreate We're the wound on this earth And we're festering God is your creation God is your festering wound God is your delusion The belief that cuts deep God is the weakness of man Exploited since the ages God is the death of man For him he kills and will be killed The wound it hurts The wound it bleeds These wounds are eternal From which there is no retreat God has not forgiven you Slave to your religion God will not save you Just a gullible man Die by the sword and die for your god Worthless pathetic existence These man made gods still fool you all Blind faith is still real. This wound will not heal This festering wound is you

The world has reached breaking point The system has failed, humanity has failed For kingdoms built on tyranny will now fall The world has reached breaking point The system has failed, humanity has failed The time has come for change for self reflection For those who stand on the backs of others will eventually fall We must step forward, we must step down We must rise above the system We must create a new world A world that's just and equal for all I am the voice in the darkness I am the shadows in the night Enslavement built your kingdom Silent no more we fight Systemic oppression How can I rise, in a system that's flawed by design When you've pushed me down and you kept me there Till I could take no more and you pushed me to the breaking point I rise, I will rise. No more you shall beat me down The system was made to favour you A system that was built for me to fail Break the system, it's not to late We will create a new way I am the voice in the darkness I am the shadows in the night Enslavement built your kingdom Silent no more we fight Systemic oppression This kingdom falls You are no king to me This kingdom falls It was never meant to be We break the walls Not shackled we are free We fight the war We shall be free From systemic oppression Your sons will be the warriors And your daughters the whores Used and abused For their gains False hope you are sold Just a ploy to control Born into a system that serves it's maker What choice did I have but to follow The silence of others serves the oppressor This system I serve no longer The world has reached breaking point The system has failed, humanity has failed The time has come But it is too late and the world will end

A cold and empty room So many people but no one I knew The air was heavy with impending death I knew that this was my end Not a chance to say goodbye Not a comforting word or a friendly smile Just a sea of death and masked faces I was left in death's embrace Death took us all, everyone No place to go, nowhere to run We didn't pay heed to the signs This arrogance of ours has left us blind We forget to wake up in the end Undisturbed by the sound of the avalanche Everything happening is inevitable Time we fall And this is all we're meant to be Cut the cord and set me free This human race a disease We burned the world to feed our greed And this too shall pass And this was never meant to last First we lost our senses And then we lost our way Blinded by promise of better days We built temples in the name of false gods Worshipped dictators, our downfall We let hate rise and we let hate breed We killed innocents because of our beliefs And this is all we're meant to be Cut the cord and set me free This human race a disease We burned the world to feed our greed And this too shall pass As the world turns As it burns All that once was, is forgotten Tell me now is it really all gone? Tell me now is it really all gone? And this too shall pass And this was never meant to last And we turn from flesh to ashes No one to mourn, no gathering masses There is no urn, no coffin, no pyre All that is left is the silence and dust All of the forces that paved the way Everything is gone, nothing remains Death is equal it does not discriminate Between the king and the slave And when the world came crumbling down Nothing remains
