Have we come to far?
Ignoring intuition and conscious reasoning
The eyes are set on a prize so out of reach
Within the confines of immortality
Before we're too far gone
Can you make this right?
What are you waiting for
Tell me, what do you see?
Open up your eyes, there's not another way
Simply put, you're blinded by your very own lies
The fire, the diamonds, and the stars
But if you can't see the fear in my eyes, then tell me:
What do you see?
Before we've gone too far
Before it is too late
I extend my hand
So what do you say?

Why can't you see?
This is not just for me
We've run short on time
But you can't seem to change your mind
Please listen to me
Can't you see? We're rotting in turmoil
And we're running out of time
But the fire's in your eyes
The fire set ablaze in the eyes of the fascist
There's nothing left to re-address
This system is built to oppress
Not save us from this mess
But rather conquer and monger for war
Drop the bomb
Unleash hell
Drop the bomb
Flaunt your power, now
A sign of weakness cannot be what they see
But a sign of power and authority
Ramp up production of weapons of mass destruction
Show the world the fire in your eyes
I want to believe
That each and every time
Despite what we see, there's hope to make it out alive
The fire set ablaze in the eyes of the tyrant
The bombs will kill us all
When they inevitably fall
With the fire in their eyes
And no regard for the world of tomorrow
But can't you see?
What you left for me?
You're not immortal, but might as well be
With the power you wield so lackadaisically
There's no turning back, as I reclaim what you've taken from me
Ready the test site
A show of power
And domination, to blow the world away
"What could go wrong?"
That's rhetorical, it's obvious
We'll bomb a nation
And move on with our day
How can you be so irresponsible with power?
Machines of death reign terror for our final hour
The atoms split at a depth of 11 kilometers below sea level
At the edge of the pacific plate, a shift can be cataclysmic in nature
Do you know what you wield?
Do you've any idea what you've done?
You'll reap the consequence in 3-2-1
Titanic waves crash upon the shore
As a pulse circles the earth
Setting off seismic events
Global apocalypse, man-made
Now do you see the calamity?
Pleading but you turn your back again
How can we be the "land of the free"?
Tell me why
Fire rains above
With hell from below
How can we keep hope
With progress so slow
The fire in your eyes
It's burning the skies
With ashes and lies
It won't ever die
The fire in your eyes

Why can't you see?
This is not for me
How are you so blind?
The purpose is but a means to an end
Below the surface you cannot just pretend
The crime:
Violence in the form of prosperity
It leaves you blind, the diamonds in your eyes
But nothing will change their mind
You look above, reach into the sky
While we struggle to survive, you've got diamonds in your eyes
With fire above and hell below, we both know where you'll go
The confines of mortality never cross your mind
We're dying in the streets
We can barely meet our needs
There's nothing left to readdress
This system is built to oppress
You're given one chance
You can't start over
Taking it for granted
It's such a shame
It's not too late, but our time is running short
A little bit of thought and consideration could go a long way
Why can't you see?
This is not for me
But all of humankind
So please tell me what it's gonna take
To make the diamonds leave your eyes
Before we run out of time
Nothing will change their...
Pitiful, is what I'd say
A waste of every passing day
Cyclical annihilation
Starving for a glance our way
"Reform, reform"
We shout from the streets
Blinded by the hatred and scorn
So please look past the diamonds in your eyes
See the error of your very design
A system can't be mended if it’s functioning as intended
Revel in the flame you cast upon yourself, your negligence
It can't be reversed, but it can surely be stopped
In due time, we'll be fine, but only if you change your mind
Come with me and see the new day
Not a worry in mind, we have so much time
Forget the pain, it all goes away
If you know the price to pay
Come with me and start a new life
It's a beautiful sight, if you pay the price
"Better luck next time", that's what they say
Well I'm sorry you can't afford to be alive
You'd rather leave than stay
In this hell that you know
But when the tide comes your way
You'll reap what you sow
With fire from above
And hell from below
How can we keep our hope
With progress so slow?

The Great Filter

Forget the prospect of reparations
Reach to the sky and see
This planet is not built for all of us
Besides, the stars are lookin' mighty fine
Visualize, or fantasize, the prize
Through all the lies, the stars are beaming in our eyes
You know you want it
Just a taste, come with me
Come with me and start a new life
I'm gonna take you by my side
It's best you buckle up because it's gonna be a bumpy ride
See the stars, now will you understand?
We need a backup plan
Forget the life you'll leave behind
Our grand design
Abandon any semblance of progress
Forfeit all hope
Leave this perfect planet behind
Forlorn, and left to die
We've looked so far, for so so long
In search for something
Among the stars, we're too far gone
Yet we've found nothing
We've left our home, we're so alone
Is anybody out there?
Where do we go? We're losing hope
Is anybody listening?
Despite your perseverance, the seal of the great filter cannot be surpassed
We'll leave all of our hopes and dreams behind
There's nothing left, is it such a crime?
How can we hold onto hope when progress is so slow?
This place you leave behind, careless as can be
A life cut short and wasted, sealing our demise
Overwhelmed with fear and anxiety
Our time has run short but the stars are in your eyes
This once perfect world, now forlorn and left to die
Disparity
Pleading but you turn your back again
For the last time
The fire in you’ve devised, lit ablaze
Fleeting, now that we've gone too far
We've looked so far, for so so long
In search for something
Among the stars, we're too far gone
Yet we've found nothing
We've left our home, we're so alone
Is anybody out there?
Where do we go? We're losing hope
Is anybody listening?
Forget the prospect of reparations
It’s too late, can’t you see?
Your greed will cost the lives of all of us
It’s time to open up your eyes
Tell me what do you see?
Extermination of humanity?
We've gone too far
I'm afraid that it's too late

I. A Perfect Planet, Forlorn and Left to Die
No chance for a compromise, I have made up my mind
We could've been so much more than this, I gave you everything
Well you dun fucked up
And never will you bow your head in contrition
Enter planetary remission
The path's been paved for extirpation of humanity
I'll terraform a new world
Shed skin to begin anew
It's such a shame to reclaim this once perfect planet, now forlorn and left to die
A breeding ground for possibility
Squandered by the selfish nature of power and greed
Soon you'll see what's in store:
I've designed your demise
You've radiated your disease of shallow hearts
I will reclaim what you've taken from me
With no reprieve, no absolution
Shed the skin, begin again
Surrender to apocalypse
Violent surge of self destruction
Formal invitation to mass extinction
It gets harder to believe each and every time
That despite what we've seen, there's a way out of here
II. An Ocean of Storms
Under my reign
The world will crumble beneath your feet
Your cities turned to ash
In a fire that will never quench
I will breathe it in
As oceans fall and rise again
Taking all in it's path
When will you see what's left?
No chance for a compromise
I've made up my mind
(I've made up my mind)
The consequence of power and greed
Spreading your disease through to the end
We could've been so much more than this
I gave you everything, and you threw it all away
But still you deny this fire you've devised
I see through your lies, I'm taking back what's mine
This passion will be fueled only through annihilation
Exterminate the parasite and wipe the slate clean
I'll terraform a new world
An everlasting pain, extinguished
It's such a shame to reclaim this once perfect planet, now forlorn and left to die
How can you stay inside your false reality?
A splitting image of immortality
First thing's first, no survivors will remain
So take it as you will, alas the end result is still the same
You deny the lives that you've jeopardized
The innocent will suffer as a consequence of all your lies
Can't you see?
Engulfed in flame as your cities crumble
Erase the trace of humankind
Falsifying the pretense of eradication
With your dying breath the lies will sweep across the nation
The final words of a dying hierarchy:
"This could not have been prevented, the world as we know it is coming to an end"
The fire once ablaze in the eyes of the fascist
Now it rages toward the sky, an all consuming genocide
All your cities burned to ash, humanity will never last
This passion has been fueled through human extermination
No more trace of the parasite
I've wiped the slate clean
I'll terraform a new world, free from power and greed
It's such a shame to reclaim this once perfect planet, now forlorn and left to die
How can you stay inside your false reality?
A splitting image of immortality
You've seen the end, yet you deny that your destiny is intertwined with mine
Why can't you see what you've left of me?
You're not immortal, as I'm sure you'll see
The power you held is no match for me
There's no turning back, I've reclaimed what is rightfully mine
III. When Will You See?
When will you see what you've left of me?
Pleading but I'm fucking sick of it
Now I will breathe a sigh of relief
It's goodbye
You depend on me, despite what you believe
The well will run dry, it's only a matter of time
You can't sustain this life, you're but a parasite
Free myself from this symbiotic affair
Gone without a trace, time will erase all that's left behind
Relieve me of this affliction
This planet, silent by design
Never again to face the crimes of a vile humanity
Blinded by the fire, the diamonds, and the stars
Dying by your very own lies
Immortality complex
"As the sun will surely rise, all life will surely die
The cycle is steadfast, it concludes with your demise"
Now that I'm free of power and greed
The cycle is complete
This quiet world will be mine
