Earth Crisis
Album • 1996
Pain Bashed to the floor Ugly, inferior, helpless and worthless A low self-image has been made It's continuously reinforced Barbed words that never leave the mind Echo and cripple from the inside Wounds of self-doubt bleed fear and tension Built to fall from a broken foundation Begging for forgiveness When no real wrong has been committed Just to try to calm the rage Before it degenerates into violence There's no refuge In what should be the refuge When the wrong words ignite anger There's no refuge In what should be the refuge When the wrong words ignite anger and frustration Into weapons that can't be controlled Stumbled, fractured through Years of confusion Now the direction's set Your potential is finally realized Rising as the embedded harm Is slowly overcome Bashed to the floor Ugly, inferior, helpless and worthless A low self-image has been made It's continuously reinforced Barbed words that Never leave the mind Echo and cripple From the inside Arise and build anew Express release, seize control (Express release) Reinvent, seize control (Express release) Reinvent, seize control (Express release) Reinvent, seize control (Express release) Reinvent Reinvent Arise and build anew

Doomsday befalls Awakened by sirens The fifteen-minute warning ICBMs scream from their silos into the sky Warheads detonate over their targets Nuclear blasts Incinerate city after city Swept away by the shock of the explosions Humankind dies in agony Ash blocks the sun from penetrating The choked atmosphere The global temperature drops Into nuclear winter Below, radiation-poisoned Air, soil, and water is all that's to be found By what is left of who is left Fires burn from the haze of a darkened world World Below, radiation-poisoned Air, soil, and water is all that's to be found By what is left of who is left Fires burn from the haze of a darkened world Charred skin hangs from the bones of survivors As they struggle through leveled rubble Past gutted buildings and unburied bodies Hell rages on the face of the earth All creation lays at the mercy of madmen Whose commands will cast us into World War Three If the keys turn from the press of a switch All life as we know it shall cease to exist Cease to exist Cease to exist Cease to exist Cease to exist

Civilians used as pawns in a demon's power games Buildings crumble, planes fall, blown out of The sky. Shrapnel from a car bomb takes the lives of all who were near Terror tactics designed to spread disorder and fear Potential military targets are left untouched by the cowards Who instead kill unconnected innocents. To the level of the Antagonists. An inane futility that only compound the wrong Hatred that erases sense fuels rivalry into an escape of Atrocity after atrocity. Without an end Potential military targets are left untouched by the cowards Who instead kill unconnected innocents Civilians used as pawns in a demons power games Buildings crumble, planes fall, blown out of the sky Shrapnel from a car bomb takes the lives of all who were near Terror tactics designed to spread disorder and fear. The names Carved into granite are revealed as the snow is brushed away Fingertips trace across them. Memories are all that remain

Rage has ruled me for so long that I don't want to think anymore I've tried to claw my way out, but I am sealed in It seems the game is designed to make me lose It's weight slowly drags me down. I draw a breath as I slip under. The dim light fades as descent begins I have to fight my way through Stark flesh sinks through the freezing liquid darkness. Pale Hands bound before me, rushing deeper with every heartbeat I will not relent to despair. As depression constricts it's coils Close in around me. Depression constricts My will is the blade that cuts the coils from around me

The situation degenerates Again alcohol hits the bloodstream Overwhelmed by the desire to feed the desire Inebriation numbs the brain Nothing changes, nothing improves Empty bottles and empty days The captive is pulled deeper into An aimless maze Wasted time passes The walls of the vice close in Dying internal organs No longer function Judgment impaired Direction lost Trapped In a repeating process Wasted time passes As the walls of the vice close in Dying internal organs No longer function Judgment impaired Direction lost Trapped In a repeating process The painkiller takes a life The painkiller takes a life The painkiller takes a life The painkiller takes a life

Crowded against one another, or penned into an artificial environment Unbearable loneliness, separated From their fellow creatures contact Individual innocent beings, each cow, sheep, pig, goat or chicken Viewed as a product To processed. Raised only to be slaughtered and consumed Murdered victims enshrouded with false names that deny their suffering Beef, mutton, pork and poultry Creatures torn and butchered only for the pettiness of the flavor of their decaying flesh The carnage of the slaughterhouse is all completely unnecessary for sustenance of technologically advanced mankind Constantly brainwashed from the beginning To believe the opposite of this truth The brutality is unacceptable. I strive to end the exploitation Morality dictates Morality dictates. Morality dictates Morality dictates that I live vegan

Pleasure at the price of madness. With delusion their minds are full Damned to misery are those who Succumb to temptations pull Their lapse of control bleeds over onto all of us At risk to harm as they indulge themselves The floor beneath crumbles into dust Screams of the wretched cut silent As they submerge into the cesspools depths. I cling To the edge battered by the torrent of disease that rages past Of disease that rages past. Of disease that rages past Of disease that rages past. I cling, I cling to the edge

Forgiveness denied for the unforgiveable. Blood for blood The guilty must be slain. Violated Dehumanized for a sadist freakish thrill Demonic evil incarnate an emissary of suffering Reveled in their helpless anguish again and again A string of shattered victims left in the wake of his sickness Emerge from the horror to bring it to its End. Justice for the victim, justice for the victim The hammer hits, powder ignites, forgiveness denied Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end
