Martyrdom
Self-sacrifice, the ultimate price, sublime and never in vain
Never in vain
Example is set, never to forget, defying the norms of Cain
Norms of Cain
Between two fires that won't ever cease
Only fools are dreaming of peace
Now
There's no backing down
You’re at a loss, can hardly see
Deep-psychological policy
Of hate
Until it’s too late
This is for the lost as we count the cost
Abandoned – desperate – discouraged – defenseless
Freezing – starvation – dementia – bleeding to death
Self-sacrifice, the ultimate price, sublime and never in vain
Never in vain
Example is set, never to forget, defying the norms of Cain
Norms of Cain
Hired con artists can't extract catharsis from our tragedy
Unworthy endeavor
Whether they show us scorn or compassion
Glory at the price of moral concessions –
Never!

The End Of Modern Civilization
Science led astray – arrogance to dismay
Contact lost with creation
Total disorientation
Alone in isolation
Rapid deterioration
These are times of desolation
Viral contamination
Deep into degradation
The end of modern civilization
What you believe in is going to be put to the test
Change your ways right away or perish like the rest
All aspects of existence are now on the table, too
It's not about the market of ideas, it's all about making it through
Science led astray – arrogance to dismay
Contact lost with creation
Total disorientation
Alone in isolation
Rapid deterioration
These are times of desolation
Viral contamination
Deep into degradation
The end of modern civilization
Darker than black, straight from down below
The consequences are all to be expected, you know
The notion of infinite growth is something of the past
The curve is coming down, any moment could be the last
Science led astray – arrogance to dismay
Science led astray – mankind's going to pay

The Second Stage Of Grief
“No way, this can’t be happening” –
Whatever you say won’t change a thing
Staying in denial, refusing the truth,
Keeping up the fight but there’s no use
This time bomb’s soon to explode
Feeling like your brain’s in overload
About to pass the threshold
Of the second, the second stage of grief
One more day
Come what may
Times gone by
Let it die
You just can't take another day
Can't hold it back so come what may
Fed up with lies from times gone by
Got to let it go, got to let it…
Die
Die
Feeling uptight, feeling insecure
Between hopes and chances obscure
Bloodshot eyes and clouded mind –
Your anger is the destructive kind
This time bomb’s soon to explode
Feeling like your brain’s in overload
About to pass the threshold
Of the second, the second stage of grief
One more day
Come what may
Times gone by
Let it die
You just can't take another day
Can't hold it back so come what may
Fed up with lies from times gone by
Got to let it go, got to let it die

Nothing

Nothing
Sitting here in silence all alone today
Struggling with the right words to say
Waiting for the moment that escapes from me still
It just won't come, maybe never will
There is nothing more for me
Simply nothing comes to mind
There is nothing left of me
I am deaf, dumb and blind
Wish I could find the way
To say the things I need to say
Why is everything so damn confusing?
Another wasted day – I always end up losing
Missing that spark to ignite the fire
Nothing really seems to inspire
No way out of this pathetic state
Emptiness is going to seal my fate
Wish I could find the way
To say the things I need to say

Unborn Saviors
Unborn saviors of this Earth
Unsung heroes killed before their birth
Taken away and denied opportunity
Was it the fear of responsibility?
Was it the fear of society?
Was it against your sense of propriety?
The whole world is beset by ignorance and infamy
Salvation is drifting farther each day, can't you see
You are unable to face it and deal with it –
They won't even have a chance to witness it
Unborn saviors of this Earth
Unsung heroes killed before their birth
Taken away so they couldn't be
Couldn't have a calling, a purpose, a destiny
Cries of the voiceless still haunting your mind
Dreams of pain and suffering intertwined
In statistical figures, that's where you store your past
A blood-stained image than can never be surpassed
Silent demise of entire generations
And in the long run the fate of a nation
Feticide
Termination
Crucifixion –
The twelfth station
Unborn saviors of this Earth
Unsung heroes killed before their birth

A Small Piece Of Earth's Time
Crime scene, battlefield, disaster zone
Waste deposit – used to be our home
Rotten to the core and drawn to the dark
The axis of death is making its mark
Here's what we've done
Blood on our hands with nothing won
And no-one else to carry the weight of our crimes
Mankind's just a small piece of earth's time
Vermin, parasites are what we've become
The planet will purify, it's going to live on
Won't have to carry the weight of our crimes
Mankind's just a small piece of earth's time
Die-cast crucifix, concrete sky
False prophets, sanctified lies
Human beings who are supposed to think and feel
Waste their time with nonsense, instead of things that are real
Here's what we have done
Blood on our hands with nothing won
And no-one else to carry the weight of our crimes
Mankind's just a small piece of earth's time
Vermin, parasites are what we've become
The planet will purify, it's going to live on
Won't have to carry the weight of our crimes
Mankind's just a small piece of earth's time
