The Tree of Knowledge

 

Kings of the earth

Mindlessly we swerve

Through this world searching for our destination

Neglecting our morals no hesitation



Destruction

Death and devastation

For ourselves we kill all of creation



Only dabs of paint we are

Looking at the picture from afar

Yet on this earth we‘re leaving a scar

The human race is fucking bizarre



We lost connection to reality

It is ourselves that we betray

In the end we hear the knell

Our sins evoke the living hell



Paradox that‘s yet to be solved

Into a social species we evolved

But egoism is the norm

In this brave new world we form



We lost connection to reality

It is ourselves that we betray

In the end we hear the knell

Our sins evoke the living hell



The Abyss is coming nearer

If we only could see things clearer

That this life has so much more to give

Than this decadent mess we live



Paradox that won‘t be solved

Into a social species we evolved

But egoism is the norm

In this brave new world we form



Will we ever shed a tear

For the things that we don‘t fear

Will we ever be able to hear

Silent screams of all the life that is near



Nothing

Will ever change

Our old primitive ways



The clock is ticking and hell we‘re picking



We lost connection to reality

It is ourselves that we betray

In the end we hear the knell

Our sins evoke the living hell



Chaos breaking loose

No matter the side we choose



The omens we see clear

The end is coming near





Progressive Self-Destruction

 

We will push the limit

Of human boundaries

We‘ll feel profound unease

If natures rules prohibit



Our flight towards the sun

We want ourselves outdone

But before we are the kings

Life-giving light has burn our wings



Progress is our new god

Our morals left to rot

Signs of downfall everywhere

Yet we push further, we don‘t care



We sailed across the sea

Invented slavery

We cure diseases

Know the answer

What if we are

Ourselves the cancer

Turned on the light

But the future‘s dark as night

Tried to make it right

Yet cruelty is our delight



We think we know it all

Will we still stand tall

At the end of all

Harvesting fruits of our sinfall



We will push the limit

Of human boundaries

We‘ll feel profound unease

If natures rules prohibit



Our flight towards the sun

We want ourselves outdone

But before we are the kings

Life-giving light has burn our wings



Progress is our downfall

Destroyer of us all

In the end we will confess

Constant progress is our regress



Enough is never enough

What is needed and what is not

Does it even matter that much

Good and evil are parts of us



We will push the limit

Of human boundaries

We‘ll feel profound unease

If natures rules prohibit



Our flight towards the sun

We want ourselves outdone

But before we are the kings

Life-giving light has burn our wings



Egoism is our grave

To laziness we are enslaved

Always following the herd

Dragging ourselves through the dirt



Can we escape this prison

Or is it too late

Should we abandon hope

And just accept our fate



The signs are clear

You start to fear

A race against time

But vengeance will be mine





The Awakening

 

My time has come

My will be done

I see your greed

I plant the seed



Your time is gone

Your last deeds done

You lost all creed

You yourself plant the seed



You‘re part of me

But you don‘t see

You follow the sheep

Your brain is asleep



Illusion of control

You control nothing at all

You just play your part

I‘m dealing the cards



I see what you did

Follow the script

You think you rise higher

But set your home on fire



Voices of arrogance rise

„We destroy the earth“

But it‘s your own demise

For me it‘s the great rebirth



Forever i reign,

won‘t shed a tear

I shed my skin again

you start to fear



Shapeshifting is my nature

Many did not endure

Even the tears i shed

Water new life spread



Humanity’s a failed attempt

Great gifts greatly tempt

For you no tear is shed

As i turn green and blue to red



I see what you do

But the price is due

You think you rise high

But too high you fly



You think you tricked me well

That forever you can dwell

That‘s far from any reality

I‘ll teach you a lesson in brutality



It‘s eat or be eaten

The game you think you‘ve beaten

What means fight or flight

If the enemy is yourself and flight is denied



Will you survive this endless night

For eternal peace i strive

I will always survive

But i think it‘s time for your demise



Brutal visions come to mind

Apocalypse for humankind



Bodies turn to ash

Guilty and innocent alike

Firestorms will burn all flesh

Like a thousand lightning strikes



Starting the warmachine

Destruction that was never seen

Earths surface no longer green

Eradicate the most destructive race thats ever been



You see what i‘ll do

Your visions come true

Self destructive fools

I let hell break lose



So much life undone

Kings you have not become

The warnings unheard

Balance of nature disturbed



Watch history repeat

Returning every selfish deed

The tides will turn

And in your pride you‘ll burn





Fall Into The Icarian Sea

 

We feel the tides turn

Civilisation starts to burn

With pride we rule the earth

Only ourselves we serve



We saw the signs arise

But didn‘t learn

Now we face our demise

We watch the fires burn



Chaos starts to rise

Whitness the fall of the dice

Conflicts grow from dusk till dawn

Seeds of catastrophy are sawn



Who will be the first to fall

For how long will anyone stand tall



Will we see another day

Potent are the seeds of decay

Reaching for the light

Fires of hell burning bright

We fall into the sea

And the sea falls down on thee



As the flood starts to rise

Still telling pretty little lies

Melting ice we may endure

In contrast to the atomic winter



Are you willing to suffer till you‘re dead

Or will you take a bullet to the head



Will we see another day

Potent are the seeds of decay

Reaching for the light

Fires of hell burning bright

We fall into the sea

And the sea falls down on thee



We‘re past the point of no return



We declared war and war we get

Against ourselves and within our heads

Our source of life, now deals death

Helpless we reap the fruits of wrath



A dream turns to dust

These wounds will never heal

All is about to be lost

To the earth we will kneel



In this raging war

Our sins are what we die for

Our darkest dreams came true

The end of all bears one question

As there‘s nothing left to do for you

What will be your last confession



Will you look back and say

I did what i could, day by day

To push the demons back

While collective ignorance broke our neck



In these last years of our kind

What were the things on your mind

Do they matter anymore

Was there anything worth living for



The sun sinks into the sea

One last time for thee

It is time to make your peace

Death you conceive



Will we see another day

Potent are the seeds of decay

Reaching for the light

Fires of hell burning bright

We fall into the sea

And the sea falls down on thee



We won‘t see another day

Humanity drowns in decay

No more glimpse of light

The earth veiled in eternal night

We fall into the sea

And the sea falls down on thee



The last day breaks



This dawn is our last sunset

At dusk everyone you knew is dead

Leaving every fear behind

Eternal winter for our kind



In these final hours

the world is full of cowards

As the last man realized

He caused his own demise



The floods rise from the sea

Drowning hopes and thee



Flaming infernos grow

Heralding how you‘ll burn below



So here i sit in inner peace

One final bomb is released



I see the firestorm arrive

The one that will take my life



Skin is melting off my face

And humankind is melted off the earth‘s surface





Metamorphosis - The Endless Cycle

 

The plague is erased

Mindless species by death embraced

Last stand of humanity

Devoured by ruinous decay



In this circle of life and death

Greediness made you blind and deaf



Once again i stand tall

Giving balance to each and all

From soil to the endless skies

None is allowed to rise



I give balance but take a toll

I breathe life but i‘ll take your soul

Remember the past and foresee what‘s to be

The nail in your coffin: you tried to flee



The plague is erased

Mindless species by death embraced

Last stand of humanity

Devoured by ruinous decay



In this brutal reign of the strong

My eternal rules will prove you wrong



I give balance but take a toll

I breed death and strive upon your fall

Remember the past and foresee what‘s to be

Erased cause you tried to betray me



The story comes to an end

A tale of ambitious rise and descent

All your thoughtfulness and empathy

yet you couldn‘t withstand, you digged too greedily



I will crush every incoherent thought

Bring thunder to those who wish for the storm

Now the battle is lost, you‘re feeding the swarm

Your own bitter end your arrogance brought



Now the time has come

For me to rise



I shed my skin

New Dawn from within

I thrive on my own

In equilibrium alone



Eternal cycle starts again

The principles remain

Life and death will always be

Overwatched by me
