Where All Truths Lie
07:36
|

|
Coherence cast aside
A great distraction
Conspiracy on an industrial scale: that place where all truths lie
Finding patterns in the sand
A face in shadows, games played by an unseen hand
Common affliction of blind faith, the greatest sin of all
Walking in the valley of deception, Devalued word, as a child crying wolf
Unrelenting misdirection
It is an insult to the heritage of thought
Delimitation of information, follow belief without evidence
Beware they that claim to count among the righteous
When one mouthpiece is silenced, Another takes its place
When begging for an end to the madness
Show caution, corruption simply switched
Obscuring, real enemy; Where all truths lie
Confounding, churned out of the distortion Factory
Creating a pure vacuum of rational discourse
This place where all truths lie
Axiom at the heart of the human experiment
Social cohesion, asunder wrent
Questioning ideologues without understanding what they meant
They will all betray you, denial was the rage deception sent

Look to the Sea
05:58
|

Silence upon infinity, Like once again earth is without form
Helpless, returning to the void
Darkened sleep, she moves to stir the waters
Breathing the tears, to render free
As the storm clears, look to the sea
A bridge over compromise, now torn down
Content in the pathless woods, rapture at the lonely shore
That used to be a boundary
Until machines, bringing death, emerged
Supposed custodians, faithless and faltering
Lip service to a revolution, The legacy of their combined weakness
Hear the music in its roar, I love not human less, but Nature more,
Mingling with the Universe, through this lens, look to the sea
A thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain
Crucible of life, marked for ruin
This will not stand, I will not rest
Until wrecks sink to the deep
Unlight, expanse
Graveless, they look to the sea
hHwling to lost gods, Denying blame
Cities built of blood and stone, Washed away
Enthrusted by change

Kiss the Ground
06:57
|

|
Every strand interwoven Into the fabric of life on earth
Grave consequence of inaction Should be ample reason to reverse course
Kiss the ground
The dust swept away leaving a wasteland, result of active neglect
Treason against the balanced order, Paralysed state - a cliff edge
Is this lost tribe worth saving?
Firestorms , once a natural enabler, Now rampant across the globe
Consuming more and more
Answer found in the humblest saviour, kneel down and kiss the ground
Lost wisdom, Ancient forms were as art
They said the solution is under our feet But they need a little help
So i stand to even the odds
shattering those that fell prey to futile greed
Giving a voice to productive destruction
Maybe sixty harvests left
The hour of doom approaches, Living on borrowed time
By my hand the age of contempt will end
Keys to the kingdom unlocked by modest dirt
Kneel down and kiss the ground

I Have Failed You
02:33
|

|
Useful idiot, pawn in a game
Every ounce a slave, as those you rail against
For that I am sorry and shoulder some blame
Through silence, I have failed you
Grim manifest, tempting riddles
Overwhelmed by misinformation
Never there in your darkest hour
Through inaction, I have failed you
I have failed you
To shine a light and be the voice of reason
Offer my hand and pull you out of the pit of lies
While you are distracted looking over here
Your true enemy continues to craft your narrative from fear
Fear is the tool they wield
Against which you had no shield
Fear is the weapon of the few
but that’s no excuse - I have failed you

Zero Growth
05:01
|

|
Welcoming the reckoning
Await rebalancing
The next virus sired by hubris
World of man, deserving of decimation
Destination of animal exploitation
The great cull: reset
Looms at the edge of view
Self-inflicted predicament
The disease of entitlement runs deep
Periodic eradication, not the answer
No need to offer your children on an altar of sacrifice
As into the Labyrinth, address root cause
And signal a White sail on the horizon
“I would prefer not to have blood on my hands, the guilt of genocide
I may judge, I may deliver, but wish, one day, to relinquish the role as executioner”

Final Cut
08:25
|

Death by many cuts: a thousand fragments
Each a piece in the puzzle of extinction
Not one single adversary, but a devil with many faces
Slow dissolution into nothingness, Is it our fate to fade away?
Maimed by self harm of the foolhardy, Can no longer hold the wolves at bay
Do not rely on technology as the saviour, instead look to an archaic trace
Hidden powers from deep time
Used to hold back the final cut, Put out the flames that burn in slow motion
Last tree felled, supreme tipping point, irreversible bleak future
An oasis in an uncaring void, pushed beyond capacity for renewal
They lie under clouds and Distracted by their lust
This is a bitter curse: profane knowledge
There was one beacon, where lay the truth
But the message fell on deaf ears, servile to the ruse
Turning wealth against itself, taking fate into our hands
Drag ignorance kicking and screaming into the light
In the empire of Thūn, ruled by an iron logic
Universal harmonies, ruthless compassion, Brutal benevolence
Avert the final cut, as a glancing blow
The power to rule must come from within
Then one day, self sustaining
Enacting measures to reverse gaiacide
