DEFILING PARADISE A paradise so sweet it could be called perfect An ecosystem perfect in design Microbiological through to mammoth in size A state of balance and evolution A planet of heaven-like greenery and colourful sights An equilibrium bursting with life Amalgamation of species that coincide Of man and the earth - one and the same It took the laws of balance To maintain such a palace Without a hint of malice From the mountain to valley this balance existed And paved the way for life to excel It told a tale of prosperity in the sense of Richness that nature provided to all The foundations had been set for civilisations to build Such a future upon The evolution of human to planet was set to be Magnificent Enter the hand of greed Of man-made Gods and depravity A world now thrust into calamity Demons now walked amongst the clarity It only took one disgracefully sickening mind To redirect the evolutionary chain As easily swayed followers gathered together The harvesting and bloodlust enslaved It told the minds of the loving that killing and conquering Were both necessary and great It penetrated the psyche of natures plan It made the earth an enemy of man

Patient Zero 03:35
PATIENT 0 Send help - I'm screaming There's ripples in my skin The fever makes me sweat and shake There's burning deep within Kaleidoscopic visions cloud my awareness I cannot speak This thing has swollen my esophagus My muscles spasm and twitch My nervous system is glitched Now hydrocephalus is causing me to writhe and fit His body up on the slab All around him are perplexed Dry rings of blood around his eyes And lesions on his neck Doctors examine closely The victim lays in rest The horror spreads through all As each of them inhales his death Minds curious at the cause of the death Which paves way for their intellect to put into effect The studying of the virus It's time to extract it's time to collect It's time to modify and see the effects This sickness swallowing the masses This sickness purifying sadness His body up on the slab All around him are perplexed Dry rings of blood around his eyes And lesions on his neck Docctors examine closely The victim lays in rest The horror spreads through all As each of them inhales his death The virus punctures all of them and multiplies It hits them with the symptoms of a world on fire The ripples it leaves in their skin as they shake violently The terrified around them watching helplessly Helplessly

SYSTEMATIC REFINEMENT As minds expand I can see potential I can reach into the darkness I can see the pain of the land vividly As I carry on pressing with the harvest I witness the fruits of the land transfer From the soil to the palm of my hand I am hooked now I can't stop sucking on the teet Filling me with arrogance OH - I must continue to grow Justifying stains that appear on my conscience As I modify nature's genetic make-up I continue to improve I keep stretching the elements apart As I cater to my compulsions I am becoming Above, More than just the flesh and heart You will worship what I've done Systematic Refinement Mother nature - I feel I have outgrown thee I have become a god unto myself - an entity The ground shakes as I rewrite the laws of the land For what you've given me I am not content I seek to conquer my surrounds - no equilibrium Balance breaks as I assert my dominant hand Gather round, See the altered state of reality I've perpetuated I've improved, I've advanced, I have hurdled all that stands in the way of progress I am the law of the land Doctoring all that I can't stand I have become more than man Standing alone at the top of life's peak

Wildfire 04:45
WILDFIRE Stop all movement - life just fades away As the failure of containment leads to epidemic spread As catastrophy engulfs entire regions with its grasp So contagious is this sickness as it levels town after town Immune systems vulnerable Attacking the genomes It penetrates it replicates it destroys it kills Such aggression that antibodies have No chance to multiply and protect Passed from body to body unfalteringly Wings of death it spreads And repeats each step Wildfire - Penetrate Replicate Destroy It leaves corpse after corpse in its path It infects a new host with each breath No amount of safeguarding could shelter anyone Confronted with the force of its wrath It consistently, unexclusively Strikes down all it encounters conducively It embeds in the spinal chord Cranial hemorrhages then result Wildfire - Penetrate Replicate Destroy Suffer - One and all suffer unto an organism settling the score Spreading - Taking over the bodies of victims unwilling to perish Wildfire - Penetrate Replicate Destroy Unstoppable contraction Unfathomable symptoms No immunisation Could prevent this sickness from being contracted A crippling plague Spreading it's rage Attempts to control or contain its trajectory Are all in vain Perished ones are thrown on flames An attempt to drive sickness away Empty villages left in it's wake Fallen bodies that couldn't escape Fear now lies in the hearts of those Who know that extinction's on its way It accelerates in all directions Carried by those who flee Distributed by those who panic Manic behaviour ensures that it spreads easily Epidemic - It terrifies like a beast that's been summoned from beneath To destroy everything Wings of death it spreads And repeats each step

INFECT/REPLACE/DISINTEGRATE Corrosion, of environment Sinking our tails into host genomes To capitulate - Replace with our DNA And implode the host cell To deny culture and impose our own way To infect the beliefs, minds and spirits Of the conquered ones Plant the seed within Watch it fester and atrophise See them change as we exclaim You're one of us now! You're one of us now! We spread across the globe in search of host cells To infect with dogma sickness and a sterile culture We infect children, we poison reservoirs We spread a toxic way of life and call it civilised We drill into the earth, we suck the moisture out Replace the life within with poison and corrosion Poison and corrosion Infect, Replace, Disintegrate Shatter previous societal constructs to implement our own desires Plant the seed within Watch it fester and atrophise See them change as we exclaim You're one of us now! You're one of us now! Inject the earth with our poison Infect their lives with our torture Dissect and modify the orchid Reject - Improve at natures torment Inefect, Replace, Disintegrate You're one of us now You're one of us now

REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION As science gains ground on the pandemic Striving towards a cure seems imminent Deconstructing the makeup to find weaknesses Discoveries that they've made render them speechless Before their very eyes the pattern changes Retracing all of its steps back to the basic As breakthrough appeared to be close enough to taste it The genomes upon the screen start moving in reverse Reverse transcription now Leaves research stumbling down This game of cat and mouse While scores of victims mount It takes the progress away With pirouetting steps Resultant scramble and panic leads to a loss of focus It shows cunningness by taking on a new construction Such resistance to treatment makes research nullified A virus racking up the victims it seems So daunting to control when makeup shifts No positive outcome presently can be forseen Every advancement has been met with trickery Reverse transcription now Leaves research stumbling down This game of cat and mouse While scores of victims mount Cells rot away, No respite achieved Host cells are penetrated No sign of emancipation

Pyres 04:32
PYRES He's showing symptoms put a bullet in him Bury the corpse now - Throw him in the ground Annihilate his presence Quick before it spreads amongst us Let the earth swallow him Give us all a chance Disorder spreads amongst the villages Disorder spreads throughout the towns Unrest is rife in all the cities and now The rich, The poor, Entire social breakdown Some people beg, Others rape and pillage Anarchy takes control across the land A state of martial law has been declared Safety can not be found anywhere Line them all up - And gun them all down The only chance - Of survival is to kill Their lifeless corpse - Throw them on the pyre Let all that burns save the rest of us Disorder spreads throughout the villages Disorder spreads throughout the town Unrest if rife in all the cities and now The borders closed - We are isolated Control has dissipated - No one rules now Anarchy takes control across the land We act like savages as we hunt those down who Carry the symptoms of the plague Let all that burns save the rest of us Let all that we have slaughtered set us free The savagery in us - The will to make them bleed Self preservation - Is all that we can see We set them alight - We burn them all In order to survive - They all have to take the fall Line them all up - And gun them all down The only chance - Of survival is to kill Their lifeless corpse - Throw them on the pyre Let all that burns save the rest of us This fear it burns in all of us This panic makes us fucking scream We never planned to come across The prospect of extinction Set us free The population shrinks as those we kill increases We slaughter the infected to preserve ourselves We pray that we do not contract the deadly sickness Or else we have to face the fiery fate as well

EVERYTHING ROTS Developing a wasteland to become a habitat A land of scum and filth for all to live on Extracting nutrients we cannot put back As clouds of acid rain gather above As a race we have infected the earth Stripped it of its dew Multiplied and sucked up all the life Desaturated hues Everything rots as we watch the mother spew Everything rots as we reap what we are due Choking on the fumes of the burning embers Sticking to the skin like napalm Engulfing all horizons with a blackened smog Singing all the fibres of the earth's palm As a race we have infected the earth Stripped it of its dew Multiplied and sucked up all the life Desaturated hues Everything rots as we watch the mother spew Everything rots as we reap what we are due The skies open - Acid rain strips our skin The surface of the earth breathes the poison in As flowers wilt the trees begin to drop their limbs Everything rots as life is washed away We lie lifeless under dissipating atmosphere Layers of protection no longer there As ecosystems crumble, Our factories still stand A globalised depletion of the imperative A bleak look for the world Scattered bodies on its surface tell the story well We now pray for the end Everything rots - We lament what we became Everything rots

Desolation 03:59
DESOLATION Light shines upon the shadows Revealing the grimmest of sights Wonder is there anyone left alive to show Motionless victims lay, In pools of fluid they Expelled mucus, Lymphatic and blood Lifeless as they lay down Attracting the rats and the mice Who once they prey on them also expire Body after body waits, In the makeshift mass graves Laying rotting and festering They didn't even have time to bury their dead Dropping like flies as they came to their end They didn't even have time to bury their dead As the sickness spread amongst them they failed to escape Light shines upon the shadows Revealing the grimmest of sights Wonder is there anyone left alive to show Motionless victims lay, In pools of fluid they Expelled mucus, Lymphatic and blood Lifeless as they lay down Attracting the rats and the mice Who once they prey on them also expire Body after body waits, In the makeshift mass graves Laying rotting and festering Scores of open graves now litter the countryside The ones who escaped never made it too far The anguish that they felt is clear to be seen now All across the lands the scenes are the same The harrowing sight of endless pyres They tried to burn it all away As evidence spread throughout - There would be no escape They fled Anyway hoping that some sort of sanctum could be reached It struck them down as well All engulfing So clear there could be no emancipation from The fate of all the others It drives them to endure hell Passing throughout the wasteland A scene descript of pure agony Hoping and fucking praying That they would reach some form of sanctitude Burn in hell They didnt even have time to bury their dead

Exanimate 04:38
EXANIMATE The day had come when it all fell apart Finally the resistance had crumbled Mother nature had now given up And conceded the humans had won As she drew and exhaled another breath She knew that she had done all she could To provide us all with our own eden SO we all stuck our knives in her chest The rain had come and burnt all our crops Tarnished our rivers and dulled all our hopes It made the ground poisonous Forced us to consume the wretched Knowing the fault was all ours We'd stained the tapestry and spoiled All the beauty We'd lost our right to remain in existence All for another step in the name of progress All moving towards the ultimate conquest The writing was up on the wall She has had enough of it all And with one painful long drawn out breath She would close her eyes for the last time Exanimate The last one buckled at the knees as he bled Expelling his liquids all over his legs Shaking and shivering and holding his head Eventually slumped over motionless His face bore the same signs as all of the rest Blood from his eyes had pooled on his chest An entire human race now extinguished By a virus nobody could beat The writing was up on the wall She has had enough of it all And with one painful long drawn out breath She would close her eyes for the last time Exanimate The earth fell still
