EARTH CRISIS LYRICS

1. End Begins

The end begins around us. The signs are too clear to deny.
As a new millennium begins once faint hoof beats
become clearer. An impassable void's creation between overlords
and consumer drones rushes towards its completion.
The constitution's ablaze. Freakishness becomes normalcy,
the inverse of morality. Abominations praised and met with open arms.
Rome and Babylon's rise nears its final stage.
Conform, accept in silence or die in the mob's rage.
Hostility generated from
above. Victims pitted against each other.
Attention's diverted away from the actual antagonists.
Afflict with sickness to
enforce their cure, synthetic peace carved out of madness.
Is the stage set for the demonic tyrant's rise? More and more
technology seems geared to divide, monitor and terrorize.
Personal freedoms surrendered. The means for self-defense given
away. Marshall law in a new empire. Caesar takes his throne.
Contain, control, to dominate. Contain, control, exterminate.

2. Filthy Hands To Famished Mouths

Third world squalor, inhuman conditions.
Death stalks the have nots through depravation.
Open sewers, polluted water, monoxide consumes the air.
Crowded into shanty structures. Born into a nightmare.
Starvation and execution. Starvation and execution.
Scavenging in garbage piles, emaciated, malnourished.
Most turn away from those below
pleading for sustenance. The horrors, children suffer below poverty.
Sickness, fear and ignorance, all needlessly.
Starvation and execution. Starvation and execution.
Lives that deserve a chance written off as useless.
Police death squads.
Disappearances. Shots in the night, hidden graves;
their victim's only inheritance. Discarded humanity surrounds discarded
humanity. Starvation and execution. Starvation and execution.
The murdered slaved or stole for crumbs or drugs to deaden
constant hunger. To deaden consciousness to the coldness in which they lived.
From filthy hands to famished mouths.

3. Breed The Killer

Designed to deceive myths of supremacy.
A climate ingrained of fear and disdain. Spawning murderers since
time began. Borders redefined, the aggressors rule.
Demons have their day of every race in every land. Survivors of massacres
live on enslaved. One half of the world in five centuries has been under
European supremacist rule. Hatred forced into each
of all our minds. There's still time to set ourselves free.
Hatred forced into each of all our minds. There's still time to
set ourselves free. Architects of conspiracies created to subjugate.
Conquered peoples by believing their oppression is divine will.
Breed the killers of the lies. Unveil the truth throughout the past.
Until achievements are known.
Until inventions are known.
Until contributions are known humanity lives in lies.
Hatred forced into each of all our minds.
There's still time to set ourselves free.
Hatred forced into each of all our minds.
There's still time to set ourselves free.

4. Wither

Near lifeless skin stretched over a prone skeleton.
An image branded for all time within my memory. Pursuit began
seeking pleasure delivered with a price,
though an illusion of instant bliss enticed.
Toyed with what immediately only
overpowered. Chased the dragon thinking that it would not turn to devour.
Steel driven into skin. Contamination forced in.
Jaws of death close together. The haze that surges must not win.
Wither. Body given to the vortex, awake in a synthetic
dream. Time and meaning fades, life drains far faster than it seems.
Drawn to the brink by thoughts of invincibility to give
into what beckons constantly. Pulled back across the threshold.
Loved by the ones who helped bring salvation. The future is
in the hands of a once self-made victim. Steel driven into skin.
Contamination forced in. Jaws of death close together.
The haze that surges must not win. Wither.

5. Ultramilitance

Legal channels have been exhausted. Uncruel alternatives rejected.
Awareness created and ignored. Direct
action is the last recourse. Ultramilitance. Ultramilitants.
Salvation of innocents. Intensified resistance.
Flooded by sabotage disabled whaling ships sink beneath the waves.
Strikes against roving murderers. Through destruction, innocents
persist. A rainforest seen as nothing more than an area on a map
to be stripped of resources for corporate profit.
The indigenous cultures and animals are displaced or destroyed
unless bulldozers are disabled to prevent access. Ultramilitance.
Ultramilitants. Salvation of innocents. Intensified resistance.
Forth from cages into the darkness. Mink liberated by masked
rescuers. Laws designed to protect oppressors correctly regarded as worthless.
Now this war has two sides... Ultramilitance.
Ultramilitants. Salvation of innocents.
Intensified resistance. Wreck!

6. Into The Fray

Cut to pierce and flood, held it back as long as I could.
Coldness spreads within me now. Crushing in and
smashing down. Crushing in and smashing down.
Grab for myself or endure a living death.
Into the fray with pure commitment.
I must, I will. Despite all odds, despite the obstacles.
Despite all odds, despite the obstacles. Crushing in and smashing
down. Crushing in and smashing down. Cut to pierce and flood.
held it back as long as I could.
Coldness spreads within me now. I must, I will.

7. One Against All

Instinct, survivalism. One against all, against one.
The living now envy those who perished in ruins.
The brutal live on in competition. Death's masterpiece nears its completion.
Left in the aftermath. World War Four, survivalism.
One against all, against one. The living now envy.
Those who...those who perished. Adapt to the harshness or become one with
the dust. You adapt to the harshness.
Adapt to the harshness or you'll become one with the dust.
Adapt to the harshness or you'll become one with the dust.
Adapt to the harshness or become one with the dust.
Adapt to the harshness or become one against all.
Armies of the world clashed against each other as it had been prophesied.
Severed heads, adorned pikes stark against the barren land.
The horror of all horrors when the warheads detonate.
Will this be mankind's fate brought by hi-tech
barbarians. The law of lead now reigns...

8. Drug Related Homicide

The drug related homicide of a nation as society is plagued by mass addiction.
The numbers culled eliminates competition.
Pulling others in as the caskets lower down.
Caustic chemicals open early graves. Caustic chemicals
open early graves. The drug related homicide of a nation
as society is plagued by mass addiction. The numbers culled
eliminates competition. Pulling others in as the caskets lower down.
Caustic chemicals open early graves. Caustic chemicals
open early graves. Toxins used to numb, to tranquilize.
Those afflicted left institutionalized. The drug related homicide of
a nation as society is plagued by mass addiction.
The numbers culled eliminates competition.
Pulling others in as the caskets lower down.

9. Overseers

Masters in microcosms of instantaneous.
Program the programmer to program.
Produce to pay for necessities and
luxuries. Function in every facet in total willing isolation.
What will become the difference between the operator and the
machine? Until complete automation leaves them obsolete.
Tracked from the heavens by the gods of this world. Laughter fills
glass towers. All is seen by unseen overseers
as boots crush down slowly onto throats.
All to maximize net gain the
unpoliceable funnel spews misinformation,
Yet most embrace the invasion, the strangulation of liberty itself.
Peering forward
into the evolution as the latticework of our future rises around us.
A cage to imprison the eventual outcome.
Unknowing inmates on the grid for execution.
Function in every facet in total willing isolation.
What will become the difference
between the operator and the machine?
Until complete automation pushes them into obsoletion.
Phased out to maximize net gain.
Subvert or this will be the end.

10. Death Rate Solution

12/31/99. Well into the "Age of Aquarius".
Will humanity correct its wrongs or is it the last light
into a vast reign of darkness? Set into motion, slowly unmasked.
One transforms into the other. Rights stripped into
nonexistence. Until shackles lock together.
A labyrinth of plots within plans. Devised for global depopulation.
Eaters breed eaters no longer, no longer soon.
Introduced to be transmitted from one to one.
Germ warfare and death camps, the harbingers
of mass annihilation. Behind it false gods view themselves as divine.
Morality dismantled through time. Behind it false gods
view themselves as divine. Morality dismantled through time.
To perpetrators, merely numbers unfit to be slaves. Corpses to
be bulldozed into mass graves. Has the death rate solution begun?
A labyrinth of plots within plans. Devised for global
depopulation. Eaters breed eaters no longer, no longer soon.
Introduced to be transmitted from one to one. Germ warfare and
death camps, the harbingers of mass annihilation.
Has the death rate solution begun?

11. Unvanquished

There's no time to waste, I won't hesitate, too heavy a toll's been paid.
Their escape attempts were just another trade realized too late.
Evaluated the cost of their lies. Now no more will be lost.
All the strength it takes on reserve within to save more than myself.
A distance waits to be crossed. It's all just begun.
Alive through straight edge.
Ten hits rain down for every step that I advance.
Smashed down again and again to rise to stand. I save my tears for the
living. I hold my rage for the last day. I save my tears for the living.
I hold my rage for the last day. A distance waits to
be crossed. It's all just begun. Alive through straight edge.
Ten hits rain down for every step that I advance.
Smashed down again and again to rise to stand unvanquished.
Ten hits rain down for every step that I advance.
Smashed down again and again
to rise to stand unvanquished.

12. Ecocide

Silenced in the roar of the flames.
After the screams of the dying, nothing remains.
Desecrated, slashed, burned to
the ground. In the frenzy of greed, cries of protest are drowned.
The Earth dies - Ecocide. The Earth's forests laid forever
to waste. Thoughts of the future trampled in their haste.
Corporations with their dollar sign focus ravage the Amazon like a
plague of locusts. Plumes of black smoke ascend into the sky.
A forest of beautiful creatures senselessly die. Smoking fields
of devastation left in mankind's wake.
With populations left to grow and greed,
they justify this rape.
The power of the dollar can't take precedence
over the inevitable detrimental consequence.
The time to react is long overdue from protest to
confrontation by me and by you.
