“Our story begins... On present day Earth The sands of time, have now run out The guardians of mankind... Are no longer able to contain this disease A funeral march unto a new Aeon… Now resonates throughout the land Deafening with each blow Curious minds, feast thine eyes on these giants… Only to be blinded by the sight The scriptures tell tales of this day... As it was foretold, by the herald of the serpent beast She comes Upon the Pestilence horse, the Annunaki ride… The alpha and omega To usher in, a new dominion To reclaim supremacy… For the newborn heir Hear us now... Ye bastard descendants of Eve! Sound the bells of thy absolution!”

(The line drawn in the sand… Has begun to fade Tempest, further pushes the limitations of this heresy… Burying existence, of allotted boundary) Desecration! (A crime punishable by eradication) Summoning thee… To reclaim thy realm Provoking the olden ones… Unto their return To eliminate the “line”, and it's trespasser... (A plea A sacrifice to the immortals) The catalyst? A promise of atonement... In glory of, restitution in grandeur Arrive at last! To set thy accord in motion... (A plea A sacrifice to the immortals) The skies now fall The oceans have run dry The winds breathe disease The flames purge the land A sight that has been revisited… Over and over again Divergent realms, and it's universes paralleled… Doomed to the same fate Waves colliding in vibration... It's resonance, washing upon every planet As they swallow themselves whole When such horrors become reality… What is the omniscient to feel? Detached? Deceased? Indifferent? (In mind's eye) The catalyst? A promise of atonement... In glory of, restitution in grandeur When such horrors become reality… What is the omniscient to feel? Detached? Deceased? Indifferent? (In mind's eye) The light of Earth… Quivers, upon restoration Pestilence! War! Famine! Death! The light of Earth… Quivers, upon restoration A candle burning at both ends... Dissipation nears As the ancients paid no mind... Man toiled away in shadows In conquest of, and surveillance… Of it's own? Ye bastards! Foolish children… Accrediting themselves, as kings! (An act of treason, to one's patrons) Justice hath brought penance… For such debauchery Bestowing unto them a noose... And no other hand to tie the knot, but one's own Ye bastards! Foolish children… Accrediting themselves, as kings! In punishment, the civilization swings... (Choking on it's own weight) (Lunacy overcoming the dream state in asphyxia... Poisoning the remaining cells of the hive mind Madness runs rampant… As a regression unfolds attributes of primal ancestry As it was… Engulfed, in chaos) A final gaze unto the cosmic jury The amaranthine council... Deafening, with it's cries of castigation
3.
All Kingdoms fall... As the monuments have before them Stone and steel Bonded together... (By the blood of the begotten) In truth? ‘Tis a fragile design, a poor bond Fertile lands Cloaked, by what sustains life... A harvest doth not flourish (Neither, should an empire!) There are no Kings in this domain... Land is the law (Nature) Man is a bastard son… Ungrateful in it's blessings Such fools! Unable to see, the fate… Staring back from afar A destiny… Delivered unto themselves! Through premonition... Through "divine" tongue They march to the hymns of a hypocrite… A king of lies! (Backwards into oblivion) No such divinity… Is of this world! Yet for Aeons, you have bent the knee... (Born and bred, into submission!) Stone and steel Bonded together... (By the blood of the brothers and sisters) In truth? ‘Tis a fragile design, a poor bond Fertile lands Cloaked, by what sustains life... A harvest doth not flourish (Neither, should an empire!) There are no Kings in this domain... Land is the law (Nature) Pray to no gods... Prey to no gods!

“Assimilate, Gloom! Ingest, Apathy! Fathom, Filth!" This calamity, is called modern existence! Years wither in a self-induced haze... Yet generations mourn a life, that was never theirs Seasons spent, in severance of sentiment The hammer now falls on this naive society... In contempt, they are torn asunder by lions! Bathe in thy blood! Bathe in thy salt! (Each step taken, trudging over carrion... Servants gaze upon exotic form The embodiment of sacred loin... Has fallen unto you!) In torment and awe… (A feeling so obscure) Generation-after-generation… Conduct a symphony to thine ears! As each tooth repeatedly pierces the flesh… You now know what it is to be alive To fear, to love, to live… Realization, hath come crashing down At the eleventh hour... A new found grace, cultivates amongst the numb Look to the azure! Admire thy heavens! Inquire unto darkness, into desolation! The utopian response is bleak! A cold unknown... A premonition of what's to come Ages spent dwelling in the stars... Only to soon, be matter themselves As it is above, it is below... This is no work of the cozen! In blood! In flame! A new era is born… A dystopia to be To tremble, substructure of creation To rattle, authority of man (The eternal awakening, to be)
6.
Like a pack of wolves… Tearing at the game of the hunt Mouths drenched, in the blood… (Of it's prey) Leaving it's corpse, to the soil The murder of innocents Human trafficking Public persecution A trail of "being" resembles… Such, carnal violations, to nature's law A perpetual offense, against thine creation... A ceaseless infraction, against thine kin There is no courtroom on this Earth... Corrupt enough to punish these deeds There is no gavel heavy enough… To sound off, it's deafening sentence A defilement of innocent flesh... A desecration of the temple An eternity of torment will be thy penance... An eternity of torment, you fucking swine! (Applause echoes throughout generations… As death is on display Ages have come and gone… With no sign of intervention) A global metastasis… Transmitting affliction to the heart of the world With each beat, with each pulse... (Disease spreads) Leaving her corpse, to the stars The rape of innocents Human mutilation Public oppression A wasteland of "being" resembles… Such, carnal violations, to nature's law A perpetual offense, against thine creation... A ceaseless infraction, against thine kin There was no courtroom on this Earth… Corrupt enough to punish these deeds There was no gavel heavy enough… To sound off, it's deafening sentence A defilement of tainted flesh… A desecration of the ruin

The Epilogue 01:27
“A fertile Earth… Now, stands alone in the cosmos Reborn... Awaiting the seed of a worthy suitor, to begin anew Forward into an eternity spent in hope… She will wait As it is above, it is below… (Remember?) For the creation, is a mirror… Into the design of the creator itself Inheriting traits of an architect… Seeking the answer to it's own flaws The echo of one's imperfection… (And the desire of it's reform) Resonates onward, with each creation Each entity… Will look to the heavens above them (As their forefathers have) Waiting, to begin anew An untraceable answer An endless cycle An unforeseeable end Such, is the tragedy, of existence”
