Everything around me is changing. This world is not forever. With our existence, we're losing our own home. We're losing sight of our one gift. It's all around me and I can see it. I can see it in the changes in the wind Our world is fading away.

I view the world with a righteous soul. The others walk the earth, hollow bodies. Stuck between realities. You can't run. You can't hide. In a world. Where the dead all rise. Will this virus course through my veins. (What's in my veins?) This raging fever comes for us all. Consuming all I have inside. Is there any hope at all? Will the living walk again? Each and ever day I wonder why. What kind of curse has plagued us. Watching all my loved cry as these monsters stalk and terrorize. (Stark) All will die, no longer will I see a living soul. All shall rise, hell has overflowed with time. (Stark and Eli) All shall die, no longer will I see a living soul. All shall rise, hell has overflowed with time. Will this virus course through my veins? Our fallen world, this sickness is spreading. (What's in m veins?) There's a virus in these veins. No matter where I go it follows. The world itself rots away. The scent of corpses haunts the air. This world crawls with a story told nightmare. It haunts survivors night to night. If all the dead are put to rest. I'll always know its still in my veins.

Arrogance, it spreads like a plague. Your moment of hungry brings home the power. Lusting for more, you send us to war. Walking a thin line, what do we fight for? Bring on the war. Fire from the skies. Bodies fill the streets. Sentenced all to death. We plunge the world into smoke and embers. We never weighed the options. We never gave it time. Gave it time. I hear the cries of the fallen men. They beg and plead to end the suffering. To ash and dust, we watch the cities fall. And everything we've come to love is gone. Our world suffers. Endless peace. Our race faces. Endless sleep. The ongoing global warfare crisis continues. The globe has been engulfed in turmoil following the all out warfare, and has stricken many countries deeper into poverty and chaos. Many are starting to believe that the wars will never end, with people waking to the sound of air raid sirens each day and falling asleep to the sound of explosions each night. All local leaders and government officials have fled in attempts to escape the violence. The population has decreased at an alarming rate as a result of civilian and solider casualties. Nuclear warfare has plagued our water supplies and soil. We are losing hope. The end of the world is near. We plunge the world into smoke and embers. We never weighed the options. We never gave it time. We watched our world burn in all our selfishness. A war waged on greed. A war waged for pride. All these wars have torn humanity apart.

Who are we to think that they aren't watching from the sky. Judging every step, every moment of growth. Waiting for our lives to unfold. The true path is calling. The one of our fathers of centuries before and centuries to come. Annihilation of our foolish population. An unseen genocide of the human race. Our lack of reason shows we were the only ones to never grow. The skies shatter like glass as they come for their unworthy pets. Extermination. These demons of the sky. They foretold the end of all the lights. I can't believe my eyes. They've been watching all this time. Waiting for our lives to exceed all that they hoped for. The malicious intent of our creators was clear. For the only reason that they left us here Was to scavenge and learn. Now we're here, here only to burn. Extermination. The warning signs were pretty clear. On our path to failure. We burned ourselves. The help we needed was right before our eyes. (Jake) Everything around shall burn before the masters call. The ones that made our existence true. Coming for our head we cower at the sigh of their excellence. This, our eviction. And here we are. Cowering in fear. Waiting for the masters call. The call to rest. The fathers before us. They made this call. And now we stand here waiting to fall. Cower in fear. The master calls. Failed the fathers. To rest we fall. Failing breed. It all burns. The end is near. I can't believe my eyes. They've been watching all this time. Waiting on our lives to exceed all that they hoped for. We are failing chapter. A disgrace, a filthy creature. Blind to the world. In a revolving motion. (Eli and Jake) Extermination. Like a parasite we suck our sources dry. This evil race shall perish. Beyond this earth they come to end this ear.

He who screams from mountains high. Brings the reaper to take these lives. We wallowed in our sins. We followed evil into death. From heaven he came. As the gates themselves shook and crumbled. Broken and shattered. We left his love for the deadliest of things. The concept of this evil lies within us all. The serpent heeds the downfall of humanity. Molded in the eye of thee most divine. His love shall hold no limit or sacrifice. Fallen from grace we suffer this fate. Pained to see his masterpiece be such a waste. The hold one has seen the greatest misery. Submerged in lust and greed. We only feed the black sea of haunted souls. (Oscar) From the highest high he said unto me. My child I say that you are forsaken. With these deadly sins you are condemned to this eternal grave. From clay to stone to burn in the kindle. Lust, greed, gluttony. Pride, wrath, sloth, envy. (Eli and Oscar) We all face the endless void. We all suffer a deadly sin. He comes to end this internal battle. Desire reigns over righteousness. The holy one has seen the greatest misery. Submerged in lust and greed. We only feed the black sea of haunted souls. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

We were warned. The earth has been pushed to the limit of time. I watch the waters rise. I watch it swallow the land and its all in desperation. A desperate cry to cease the filthy fucking habits. Cleansing the earth of this disease. Natures fight, its remedy. It screams out. It won't suffer any longer. Everything around me withers. From beauty to death. The ground shall shake. A howling wind while mother cries. She cries upon us in agony. Bring on the downpour. The skies turn black as night. Reigning death among the barren wasteland. In the eye of the storm there shall be no calm. Nature conquers everything around me. Mother decides the fate. Of all the lives she holds on this earth. It screams out. It won't suffer any longer. Everything around me withers. From beauty to death. Beauty to DEATH It screams out. It won't suffer any longer. Everything around me withers. From beauty to death. We watched our gift turn to nothing. Natural beauty takes her course. From death to new life.
