First World 02:47
The end is coming Our present way of life must cease A world economy Based on shit While billions grasp For the same flag Of first world privilege And still our numbers rise And with them, the strain Pressure that cannot And will not be sustained Steadily our resources drain As we shield our eyes And continue on our way Oh so very sedate Surely we will never see the day That our world crumbles into a heap We outsmart nature But how long until we go extinct? Third world becomes first world This cannot be The balance will not hold When populations increase
2.
Repetition 01:21
Self-fulfilling prophecies Beckon us to apocalypse How can you work for a better day When you live without shades of gray? So keep digging our graves And keep making the same mistakes The day will come when it’s time to finally pay Progress is restrained On the basis of personal faith These narrow viewpoints Must be overlooked Objectivity observed For the greater good The only absolute I know Is that how it stands we’re doomed Worldwide duress is rising Religious confrontation looms Cultural boundaries corrupt The peace process What lies ahead? Global wars and civil unrest

Miasma 02:56
With every birth We make it worse We’ll spill into hell When there’s no room left on earth Like a cancer we grow Out of control With nothing to check us All life will choke Spread across all lands Each one takes a bite Digs filthy claws in Then sucks it dry Enjoy it while it lasts Future waves wont get a chance They’ll grovel in despair Deprived by their forebears Short-sightedness Risks our chance to survive Short-sightedness Destroys what we need to thrive Each day The cancer grows Each day Bare bone erodes Tell me What use are you? You were Born to abuse Each day The cancer grows Each day Bare bone erodes

Born in a new age Before the next altar I bow It reminds me of my place Just another faceless soul That makes no sound Come on and enlighten me Tell me what I was put here to do To keep running in my place Stay quiet, pay no mind and consume Just one more hour wasted Another afternoon is spent Zoned out and in a daze Unaware of what could have been A better way of life Answers to modern plights In this age of lies A chance to seek the light Born in a new age Before the next altar I bow It reminds me of my place Just another faceless soul That makes no sound Mentally castrated Can I face what I am? Flaccid and so inept Faithless in all attempts I believe it won’t get better
