I gave you life
Birthed you from my seed
I gave you life
My past misdeeds
It catches up with thee
You can't outrun the monster you feed
When you took form little did I know
The destruction you'd unfold
The havoc that you’d wreck
Upon my majestic creation
Consume the earth
Drink it's blood
Extract your pound of flesh
To feed your lust
The process of extinction
Is written in the stones
We ignored the wisdom
Passed from the stories of old
A graveyard is all that is left
At the depth on the ocean floor
All life has left these creatures
These are the skeletal remains
All the wonders been turned to wasteland
Our garden of eden is now lost
Can you hear the songs the whales sing
A song of melancholy of a world that's lost
Solo: Nick Padovani
Terminate
Annihilate
Obliterate
This world
This is the ending of existence
Aeterna sunt (everything decays)
Aeterna sun (and the lights will fade)

An Epoch Of Degradation

It all begins and ends with man
The vastness of green
Turns to wasteland
Once free flowing rivers run dry
The oceans are rising
The icecaps are melting
A visible truth he denies
The rain falling down
A silent serenity
Rain falling down
Mother earth she weeps
Parasitic humans
Leeching off the land
Harvest. Feed. Repeat.
Bleeding out this world
Consume. Create. Demand
The great master plan
Spark the flames of fire
Till you burn this world
A world once that was
Untouched and unscarred
A harmony in which we lived
We shifted the scales
Tore equilibrium
Disrupted the balance of nature
We knew, we always knew
That our house of cards would fall
We grew, we grew
The burden of our existence
Through eons passed
A slow decay
Of a world once pristine
Now laid waste
This epoch of ours
Chipping away
At a world once pristine
Now laid to waste
A world laid waste
At the hands of man
The circle of life was once complete
Broken and shattered by our greed
No hope of repair a time to despair
This ship will sink beneath the sea
We ruled the lands, we ruled the sea
We conquered the earth that’s beneath our feet
We soared the skies straight to the stars
But where we failed was in our hearts
We bore not a care of the consequence
That our actions would lead us to face
We had not a care for our misdeeds
Till there was a price to pay
The epoch of degradation we have been
The epoch of degradation we have seen
Our time has come and our time has gone
All that remains is bones and dust of us.

Only through death does life begin.
The ancient tales they all speak
From death of the old a new life begins
Once life was spawned the circle was drawn
The cycle continues, repeats and repeats
A single cell mutates
At an accelerated rate
No divine intervention or fate
Starting a chain reaction
Extinction is not unusual
It is evolution you see
Combustion. Destruction.
Trigger the extinction event
Bound to the finite
To this reality
There is no other choice
No other home you see
Change is constant
Inevitable degradation
Of our species
Inevitable evolution
Even from the grave life will find its way
Clawing through death and decay, reeking putrefaction
Rapid genetic change for survival ingrained
From the great dying we are born
Open your mind
To what you can't perceive
Look beyond
What your eyes can see
Only through death does life begin
From extinction evolution begins
The ancient tales the ones you believe
From death of the old rebirth you seek
Once life was yours the throne you adorned
The castle crumbled beneath your feet
There is an edge to our existence
Our perception does often mislead
The mind is small and cannot fathom
Or look beyond our biases and beliefs
All your gods have failed
No prayers can save you
The dissolution it has begun
This catastrophic transgression
Out of sight is out of mind
Blissfully ignorant to our demise
Through it all life will find its way
The spark did ignite the blaze in the sky
Fire did reign upon this world
The rivers run dry no signs of life
Visions of a wasteland
No divine will ever save
Life will find a way
We paved the way
Forging a new path
A world full of promise
Never built to last
Solo: Fabio Bartoletti
These howling winds
Over arid lands
Resonating a song they sing
Lament the loss, lament for us
For all that could have ever been
But the song goes on and life will spawn
Bringing a new age in

I gave you life and this is how you repay
The end of your divine delusion
The day of reckoning is here
Rapturous execution
Sentenced to obliteration
One by one the dominoes fall
Hopeless desperation
For the human race it is too late
Irreversible desecration
You left me no choice
You put me in this place
For what I created I must destroy
Bountiful lands
Bestowing plenty
Merciful I was
But you were unrepentant
This pristine world
You turned puerile
It was your own
Poison that killed you
You weren't content
It was your greed
I was merciful but you were unrepentant
And you left me no choice
And you put me in this place
For what I created I must destroy
The living world will endure
But you will perish
The fires rise a world in flames
The oceans run black, toxic stains
The living world will endure
But you will perish
The world will find its way
Even when you've lost yours
I gave you life, this is how you did repay
I won’t take all of this pain
You have left me with no choice
I will destroy
And you left me no choice
And you left me crying in the rain
You left me no choice
And you left me dying in this pain
I gave you everything
And you turned it all to dust
