Cleansing wave to drown the human race
From that perspective a stratagem conceived
Mankind has over reached must be put back in its place
Return to the dust from whence it came
Guardian
Origin of the one that navigates the course
Resolved to be above corruption
Preserve the lucid goal
Protecting an ideal without wavering
Beyond the price of weakness
Above reproach
Thūn
Remain anonymous, without ties that could be used against
Unless from the outside they cannot do what must be done
Embodying the fate of the future
No influence but an internal drive
No coercion
No love story hidden beneath
But no need to lay blame
Most simply follow the path of their flawed fathers
Guardian
Origin of the one that navigates the course
Resolved to be above corruption
Preserve the lucid goal
Protecting an ideal without wavering and earning the dreaded badge of terrorist
Worn with honour
Unto death to save them from themselves
Serving extinction: the order of chaos
They come to see, how far they lost their way
Divorced from connection to a lonely grave
Guardian anointed by the hand of fate
When you can’t run anymore you crawl
When you can’t crawl, you find someone to carry you
Find someone to carry you home

Cage Within a Cage

Obsessed by conspiracies to feed your psychosis
While ignoring the real threats to existence
Extreme ideologies that miss the point entirely
Failing to land on a logical hierarchy
Weighting is skewed, absurdly
All the lies you follow blindly
Cage within in a cage you cannot see
The truth, not steeped in secrecy
Fallen for the masters of treachery
Offenders hide in plain sight
Cage within a cage was locked up tight
Best laid plans take up the fight
But the scale of deceit reaches lofty heights
While you are crippled by a poisoned body
Self deluded spiral of ruin
An addled mind, cannot function clearly
Negative emotion machine

This, our epoch
Human and nonhuman - inextricable link
In tentacular practices
Intertwined collective fate
Let us now list the great evils of the world
Destruction for destructions’ sake
No longer with the excuse of justified sustenance
Profit, the short term gain
Palpable villainy courses through their veins
That is the devil that’s real and everywhere reigns
Ultimate autopoiesis with a conclusion: insane
At a point it will be overtaken
Central rationale : mistaken
If humankind is alone in the universe then there is no help to achieve a balance
To secure the best chance for us / means to an end for our survival
Step outside temporal boundaries
Begin an assassination campaign
Address the construct of morality
Measured against absolute need
Preserve for future generations

Righteous Violence
04:23

In terror prior to slaughter
Waiting in line for its turn to die
This factory life has become normalised
Always kept hidden from public view
Do your children understand what you do?
There is innate hypocrisy in the rights you decree
Your unfit laws will no longer constrain me
Infiltrate under cover of darkness
Wearing a cloak made from nightmare
First skirmish battle waged, prelude to war
Becoming more extreme
Intoxicated by righteous violence
Enveloped in protective flame
Martyrs for the cause
With no remorse for the dead that were doomed anyway
To you the meek, pleading ignorance
If you change your ways you may be spared
If not you die

Sparked by lone action, came revolution;
Curse of self making, reckoning underway
This, just the beginning, a slow build to an avalanche
End debt slavery that serves only the interests of the few
Unfettered, vulgar transference of wealth
While any action taken with reckless abandon
Met with retaliation, to tear the old system down
Destiny flickers momentarily like a flame
Assume the mantle of judge, of jury, of executioner
Next target as stars align
Industries that serve no use, and spread poison
History, public opinion on my side
You will occupy: position most reviled
The irony is that this course is pro-human
Most advanced being in the known universe
With the awareness to mould its own future
Worship brings nothing of worth from callous gods
But that is not to say there is no reservoir of power to be accessed
Eternal - Over the event horizon
Noble fire burns away all of our illusions
Itself subject to music found behind the strings
Within, sole thing that lasts is change itself
One god in this dimension is the Sun
This tale of survival and having something left of worth
Tapping a more ancient void might be a success or failure but at least I had to try
One day they will look back and pity what we had become
How a world could be so broken when it was nurtured to near perfection
Forgiveness freely given after the storm has subsided
Once it is prevented, the end of all
