Maelstrom Juggernaut

And the earth was empty and void
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
After the great impact, it was crawling with all sorts of animals, big and small.
The first glimpse of life, but a moment
in the irrepressible maelstrom of eternity
and just after another blink a special kind of Haplorrhini
Had devasted the planet irreversibly.
And the earth was empty and void
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
Once in the tree tops
grooming shit drops
from our furry neighbor’s ass cracks.
Now in style looming with our head up high
while wearing fancy dresses.
Today, some say that the shit just rose
from where the sun don’t shine to where it does.
And that would be fine if we just chose
not to orchestrate mass extinctions and another holocaust.
Once fucking frogs to death and eating our own kind.
Now doing still the same but with a different state of mind.
We’re so progressive - we invented progress itself.
Didn't we evolve just great and come so far?
We're not eating raw meat anymore but beefsteak tartar - Fuck yeah!
Culture is the hive mind of the ones that came before
manifested in everything that you can buy at a store.
The juggernaut drags us all in its wake.
History is a series of serious mistakes.
Leading us all into certain darkness.
Civilisation: a constant funeral cortege.
The juggernaut drags us all in its wake.
History is a series of serious mistakes.
Leading us all into certain darkness.
A maelstrom of shit and we can’t stop it.
And we can’t stop it - can we stop it?
The sun rises above the wastes that we create
where we feed on each other to mitigate
all the shit we have to life with every day
and on which most of us don’t even have a say.
The dumbest reasons make us kill others
We unscrupulously exploit our sisters and brothers
Expansion, progress, rivalry, and competition
are proclaimed to be our holy mission.
Always looking for someone else to blame
don’t hate the player – hate the game!
Looking on others in disgust, instilling shame: don’t fight the player – fight the game!
Would it kill us not to kill us?

Remnants of Existence
06:12
|

An empty vessel shattered in tatters - by a force without will.
It swims to the bottom without any gill.
A broken shell – no light falls through the cracks
Withering in the eerie gloom.
Shunned from the living
Be blessed with death
Remnants of existence.
Choke on your dreams
And your last breath
Remnants of existence.
Idolatry of ideas from an ill-gotten past
Buried with myriads damned to remembrance.
Waves of tears in an ocean of blood
Guarding the Cape of False Hopes.
Faces washing away in the mud
Ashore at the fortress of necrophilanthropes.
In their eyes thou art worth exactly naught.
A grave rather than the cradle of thought.
Shunned from the living
Be blessed with death
Remnants of existence.
Drown in sorrow and despair
Thy art shall be dying in silence.
Nothing but mourning
Is what they bequeath.
Nothing but silence
Down underneath.
In this daunting
Abyss of belief.
Rotting memorials of hypocrisy.
Shunned from the living
Be blessed with death
Remnants of existence.
In this daunting
Abyss of belief
Rotting memorials of hypocrisy.

Thanatochronos
06:21

Our mandate for this planet – a discerning yearning.
Yet we smother its green lungs – burning and churning
And while we feed and breed – heedlessly
The desert disseminates ceaselessly.
Into our own extinction we knowingly delve.
We are the suicide species constantly killing itself.
We invent new devices of destruction – ingeniously.
We may embrace fearlessly
The never-ending sleepless dream.
Thanatochronos - Is upon us.
Thanatochronos - Extinction promised.
No god will save us.
And we are conscious
That we’ll slowly fade away
In blissful agony.
The time is nigh - Valar morghulis!
All men must die!
We are an unparalleled accident of nature.
Her greatest achievement and her biggest failure.
We destroy the livelihood of our own kin.
We are but dust in the wind!
Like the ocean we will rise
To thwart our own demise.
Do we have to be forced to thrive?
Are we even willed to survive?
Thanatochronos - Is upon us.
Thanatochronos - Extinction promised.
Life beyond us
Will be prosperous.
Mankind might fail
Yet life will prevail.
And the time is nigh
For our last outcry.
We numb ourselves with bullshit, porn, and gore.
While waves of synthetics wash oil pasted sea life ashore.
A belt of orbit litter blocks the last escape ways
We’re left abandoned to die in a cell we build for ourselves.
All shall perish but the vermin that’ll dwell
In the eye socket of your eons ago petrified skull.
Dust will rise to shroud the sun
And when it settles mankind will be gone.
Guilt and joy to build and destroy.
Man: the great creator - Apex predator.
Man: The Great Annihilator.
