1.
Tohu Wa Bohu 01:35
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
2.
Promise 02:12
The clouds made sounds as they moved and the black horizon swelled like festering mouths. Nor was there then the torch of night and day. The One breathed windlessly and self-sustaining. All this was only unillumined water. That One which came to be, enclosed in nothing, Arose at last, born of the power of heat Desire descended : Primal seed Promise.
3.
A system of ambitions A system of ideals An unquenchable thirst This wound will never heal. Bitting back at the frail hands that have granted us precious life Twisted right fuels the unstoppable greed Monoliths of the diseased Silenced our poor mother bleeds Stone by stone, we sculpt the portrait of disaster Imago : The serpent law I will rise : All will fall We are here to preserve ourselves Manifest survival and grace Nothing will make us stop Until it all is fully erased. Man is the poison No child is free of fire Annihilate Earth Cease this fucking hurt When we waste away We will be left alone, What will we leave behind For our selfish kind?
4.
The most pithiest groans, and invocations of the name of God Stretched thin and displayed in the fields For Today; An example was made. “Cut Off My Head!” Stilted above the ground, Cradled in the arms of Catherine's wheel ripeä I will Blot out man whom Ive spawn from the face of the ground Turning the screams of the dying into the roar of the beast
5.
Famine 02:19
Gaunt, hollow, and brittle masses Blanket the dying ground Hog soil, Populations unstable Observe as we end this life ourselves Creature comforts fade and die “Worldling’s weep but why should I?” Flesh and bone blood and soil The price we pay is our life The River has run dry Let their blood nourish the deep As the shadow of a once bold deity Turns this land to shade Prayer is answered in famine.
6.
Phantom Limb 03:01
Your absence is An ache I can’t sustain The graven image of courage and strength Has left my world in harrowing pain But I won’t worm out Your morals sculpted me into who I am Not a thread of doubt Guided by a Shepard with the will of stone Teachings of devotion Honor floods the blood in my veins But you were stripped of your strength Death has burdened your final days Forced to carry on without your guidance Vacant like a phantom limb; I still feel you there Slowly, your mold fades Into a dreary shell; rendered unknown All your teachings drip through countless tubes I hope you can still recognize me, because I can’t say the same for you I fear ill forget how you lived and only know how you finally left. I can feel the steel of your cleaver through my fucking head I fear ill forget your reign And remember your end I can feel you pulling me closer Desperately Begging me for your death. Slates of White; Stare back into my eyes As your legacy fades; so will I.

*Listen, For these are the final sounds of what used to be your only home.*
8.
The Calf 02:26
Bury this world Under the dreams It has weaved Never thought you would slip through the seams a fistful of visions thrown down at our feet to spit and spew our futures fate. you fear failure but it's what you breed. Then even nothingness was not, nor existence, There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it. God values silence let the ropes be tied The blot of humanity must be disguised Pluck and pry their inadequate lives All to exalt the selfish hive. For they know not what they do What they do is vital They fear shame and discrepancy What they had to fear had no eyes to see (You are a symbol of sacrifice) Nothing but a calf Mother, Father Your offering
9.
*Watch, As countless tiny hands stretch to the sky, Begging for forgiveness.*
10.
Balance 02:25
The Dawn of the final day. A conduit for a foolish death, sucked the life from the ground Its pulsing branches reached up, as if to grasp something a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth Falling with a great crash None will be spared Upon the dusk of the final day, heavens windows were shattered The human center un-sanctified mankind’s infernal stride presence in synthetic complex omits Until Man leaves his shell And returns to god. Born into caskets Formless and void; Balance is restored
