Cosmic Ashes 03:13
Disease of humanity Existence of the plagued From cosmic ashes, eternal dust What we become, then to return Aimless parasites breeding Cursed by our fathers to watch the end Bound to the graveyard Rotting as we stand These bloodied hands will never be clean From cosmic ashes, eternal dust What we become, then to return
3.
Curse this horror Fate Beckons us Terror: paralyzing us Saving none of us Failure to quench the flames Burning our way of life This land is salvation No one will rescue us We are the kings of western darkness Inheriting the rotten soil of man Born in the ashes of a burned down empire driven to suicide in the absence of a future Every single second is an exercise in horror Not knowing if tomorrow will ever come Their minions embrace the deep rot of the soul that these mountains carry This ashen wasteland of the new world We are the lords of empty planets We are the darkness soulless rotting This is the black void of ashen skulls The Earth will house our bones in sand and blood
4.
Auroch 04:20
Cold and alone on the killing room floor With a bolt to the skull, a lifetime of memories dissolves into air Destined to be consumed Sluice through the grate The life force that lives inside us all WIth a bolt to the skull, a lifetime of memories dissolves into air Destined to be consumed The behemoth of the gods Children of the soil Objects of innocence Wrapped in razor wire A universal fear of pain permeates the air in between breaths of terror A war upon the living Murder for tradition Sacrifices for the old ways Beasts of burden to carry our sins With a bolt to the skull, a lifetime of memories dissolves into air Destined to be consumed The behemoth of the gods Children of the soil Objects of innocence Wrapped in razor wire
5.
We will watch from the tower From atop the mountain As mankind devours itself Burning all it created Plagues will run rampant, colonies will collapse My queen of the darkened sky The moon shadows eternally watching the flames We dance upon the gravestones The tombs become our stage As we inherit the silence of this wretched beautiful world In the dark you whisper my name into the wind A cosmic dance with you with gravity at our heels You are my queen of the mountain Bathed in the moonlit splendor I will follow you to Andromeda To watch the sun swallow the Earth.
6.
A poisonous sun in a blood-red sky Torching the soil while raining death A heavy mist of blackening blood coating the surface Washing away the scourge This planet is a gravesite, this temple is a pile of garbage From here into oblivion Mindless we wander From feeding to breeding to death Awakening from the clutches of a "natural order" in which only cowards survive This planet is a gravesite, this temple is a pile of garbage From here into oblivion Failure of the guardians to protect what has been given Poisoned rivers quench our thirst Rotten flesh gives us sustenance This hollow odor of consumption blood pouring out of our coffins Stains of stink in the soil Tainted with chemical waste

--------------------

The thing that separates us from other animals is that we were gifted with the wherewithal to comprehend our world and manipulate it to a greater extent than any others. That gift comes with the responsibility to guard the planet, and be shepherds to all other living things. We let our greed, rage, and willful ignorance get in the way and now we are plowing ahead into a slowly boiling Anthropocene extinction event. Humanity squandered away these amazing gifts and this opportunity to exist and thrive on a lush planet, all so that we could hoard more resources than our neighbors at the expense of our oneness with the universe.

The entire world has been counting on us for the past few hundred thousand years and we didn't care in the slightest, and we are taking so much life down with us. Humankind is a disease on the surface of the planet, multiplying and overwhelming all of nature's defenses that have fended off plagues for millions of years. The saddest part of it is that we all imagine ourselves as among the lone survivors, but in truth we are all going to perish and no one will be around to mourn our brief time on top of this isolated rock floating through space.
