A Nightmare Lit by a Dying Star
Same as generations pass Nature goes by and wisdom dies The ancient ties are severed by technology and lies Disoriented kind swarms in denial Cowering from the passing time Look at them penitents Staying tranquil in the eyes of storms Look at them, expectants with hopes beyond this world The only ones honest to themselves outcast by men and themselves Look at them, apologists Offering to return their flesh Grazing on the fields belonging to our progenies The baneful choir of imbeciles We abhor the weakness of animal instincts We are the apex destroyers Pestilence and war, brother, are our gifts to the world for as long as it bleeds We are a locust-inspired horde Devoted to pleasures of flesh as long as it bleeds Together we stand alienated, a nightmare lit by a dying star Neglected, raised for hatred. Neurotic, self-centered Self-destructive, we are the loudest evolutionary error Pinnacle life form, no irony is lost - for as long as the earth bleeds - overfed and collapsing Easy times produce the worst kind of any. And nothing is as easy as to rant about the guilt of mankind as if we are excluded The real choice is whether to join the baneful choir or to take your life For as long as the Earth bleeds Pestilence and war, brother, are our gifts to the world for as long as it bleeds We are a locust-inspired horde Devoted to pleasures of flesh as long as it bleeds

New age shaped by information A gamble with civilization Instant answers within reach Unimaginable knowledge, a cure for ignorance We‘ve bet everything on a false premise That ignorance is the root of our evil The age of information satisfies our voyeuristic nature We delight in witnessing violence And fabricate our narcissistic effigies Oversaturated instincts Bring out our inherent evil Arrogance, ignorance, depravity Shameless immolation of humility As we drown in the man-engineered maelstrom of words one thing becomes obvious. We have constructed a reality so intricate We question everything We won’t see our doom coming The apocalypse is slow and boring Serve your sentence in the prison of your mind, desensitized, drenched in blood, sex and comfort First, we sacrifice our humanity, one step at a time, and no one will fight our ending… We‘ll watch the world burn indifferently I invoke doom Decline in abhorrence Antagonistic algorithms, industrial scale alienation, manufactured fear Convenience tax is rising, debt of consciousness collapsing future is canceled until further notice Attention economics, identity markets, desperate competition Dehumanized anthropomorphic aberrations Let’s sacrifice another generation Face once again the surprising revelation We have long crossed the point of no return We have trampled our hope for happiness while chasing dominance

So many days In so many years In baseline despair We dwell, collectively insane We were brought into this world as spectators Naive and unaware, we are being lied to In time we learn to lie to ourselves What stays sincere is left unspoken I… I am cold and I am afraid… Of the emotional nuclear winter we build for ourselves, a prison of fear. For I have seen the beauty in mankind Step away from grace, step away from obliteration as the birds fall from the scorching skies Searing air fills my lungs As I choke on dust I watch my beloved ones toil to fix what they didn’t break Lifelong struggle spent in shame Cast by those unwilling to act yet eager to suffer under the collective guilt searing our skin I… I am cold and I am afraid… That my life is just a dead weight, a burden to a dying world NO ONE WILL MOURN No one will be left to mourn the carcass of this world Its bones bare and broken Even the tallest monument of concrete will turn to a desert our legacy forfeit Until that happens We’re eager to suffer In guilt we‘re indebted and so will be our children I’ve seen mankind’s beauty and wanted to follow it it led me to insanity I now see all around me

Every day grows more alienated than all the previous combined So many hopes buried, so much disappointment I was looking for so long and so desperately to find an immanent goodness within me, one all men could share I found an abyss For as long as man walks the earth we search an object for our faith Merciless is our kind’s demand to place an order and purpose where there’s none Instead of good, we are born with gaping wound, a pain we must find a way to explain Truth is uglier, truth is scarier than we could have ever foreseen Luminous ichor pours from the skies We have constructed our own gods to devour them in the end, to sanctify violence Now the flesh of the divine is served as we feast on the ignorance of the past So proud, so fresh, a coronation of mediocrity today What a vicious circle growing up to learn the reason is quiet ignorance thunderous What a vicious circle, what an ugly thing, what an ugly thing to learn The immanent, innate pain of the eight billion souls full of blame Ignorance always finds a way for violence to end up glorified Foolish is one who holds hopes high for the spiteful world of indifference For as long as man walks the earth we search an object for our faith Merciless is our kind’s demand to place an order and purpose where there’s none Instead of good, we are born with gaping wound, a pain we must find a way to explain Truth is uglier, truth is scarier than we could have ever invent Luminous ichor pours from the skies We have constructed our own gods to devour them in the end, to sanctify violence The immanent, innate pain of the eight billion souls full of blame Ignorance always finds a way for violence to end up glorified Foolish is one who holds hopes high for the spiteful world of indifference Now the flesh of the divine is served as we feast on the ignorance of the past So proud, so fresh, a coronation of mediocrity today Acoronationdrowninginbloodofbothlivingandfuturegenerationslikeablackholewehave becomethecenterofouruniverseslowlytwistingallthatwaseverholyslowlydeformingour selvesstretchingouridealsrushingtowardsextinctionandembracingthevoidsoanotherc hapterofthevoid-bornmayemergeandrepeatthecycle.
