lyrics

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?

about

When Theia Created the Moon Berlin, Germany

Founded during the pandemic isolation of spring 2020, WTCtM aimed to shake up the metal-scene like Theia once sent the proto- earth into tremors. Bone-breaking, head-banging, emotive death metal that oscillates between melodical and moshy parts, sprinkeld with some technical sparks on top of it – the right mixture of groove and crazy to bang-dance out of the pandemic! ... more
