Calling all beings
Calling all beings
of light
Calling all beings
Calling all beings
of love
It is time to leave this sphere
It is time to leave this sphere
It is time to abandon this sphere
Calling all beings
Calling all beings
of light
Calling all beings
Calling all beings
of love
This sphere has been poisoned
This sphere has been poisoned
We must abandon this sphere

Here comes the arrogant ape
Mother Nature’s fatal mistake
Each group wants the others dead
Atrocities they love to make
They strip the earth of all that’s good
Always too blind to see
Their evil sets my blood to boil
So I’ll let this fire consume me
They clog up the streets
They block out the sky
They cut down the trees
They tunnel in the mines
Somehow they think they own what they find
If the population grows
And the world is clearly finite
Where did all these apes come from?
I know isn’t right
You say I’m no better than you
You say we’re all born the same
But good is good and bad is bad
And I know who to blame!
They clog up the streets
They block out the sky
They cut down the trees
They tunnel in the mines
Somehow they think they own what they find
I wish that I could tell you
The gods of tech will save you
Instead you’ll choke and drown
On chemical fumes and metals
You say that I’m no better than anyone else
But I hate no one more than I hate myself
They’ve gone into space
They’ve put up a flag
They’re just monkeys dressed in divine drag
How many of their own kind have died trying to earn those rags?

Vampyre
04:26
|

Shadows stalking the land
Under the cover of night
Planting the seeds of remorse
Killing your taste for the light
Separate the weak from the herd
Drag them off to the lair
Nothing left of this man
But the scent of blood in the air
Nosferatu
All of your fears are laid bare
Nosferatu
The vampire’s unblinking stare
A butcher lives in us all
Just under a friendly veneer
A killer lives in your soul
You are already that which you fear
Nosferatu
All of your fears are laid bare
Nosferatu
The vampire’s unblinking stare

Ruins

Here in this place a great city once stood
Resplendent to behold, cruel in power
Dominating the land enslaving all it pleased
Now covered in earth, nothing left to see
All things pass, all fates are sealed
All that lives must pay the final fee
Our greatest fears and loves
The hopes of you and me
All must pass
Rulers, slaves and gods, all must die and rot
Castles pulled down to the earth
Skyscrapers crumble and the churches fall
Entropy will come and it rules us all
All things pass, all fates are sealed
All that lives must pay the final fee
Our greatest fears and loves
The hopes of you and me
All must pass
You must contemplate the charnel house
And learn to live amongst the bones
Soon to crumble into fine dust
We die without a home, all alone
All things pass, all fates are sealed
All living things must pay the final fee
Our greatest fears and loves
All the hopes of you and me
All things pass

Blind statues
See more than you
Dumb animals
Say more than you
Why can't you see?
Don't you have anything to say?
You just stand there crying
Where's my share?
I did all they asked of me
Where's my share?
Why can't you see?
Don't you have anything to say?
