Ruins 01:26
Crawl outta holes and climb out of basements And take your first steps out into The Wastelands Monuments that couldn’t stand Destroy! Rebuild again and again and again and again and again The planners made their plans What could have, what should have been The land that time forgot Began reclaiming The land that turned to lots The last remaining Evidence of the existence of man He shaped his world with stone and steel Watched it turn to sand It slipped right through our hands Rise up reclaim your ruined earth Destroy/rebuild again!

The only thing that every one of us has in common Is that we all will die Tonight, tomorrow, it makes no difference So many paths left to unfold Too many parables to be told Why even try explaining Common senses to the deaf, blind and dumb? What do they feel when there’s nothing to be won? Trying to rise against the setting of the sun But all you ever do is squabble over how disparate their lives, Their beliefs, are from yours Exclusive like Star-Bellied Sneeches Engorged blood sucking leeches Attached to the limbs of the shambling dead Reliant on sustenance provided Blinders on They never realize that without us they’d shrivel up and die The history of the passed Outweighs all this pettiness Understand the deceased are in the majority What’s with all this hostility? Why even try explaining Common senses to the deaf, blind and dumb? What do they feel when there’s nothing to be won? Trying to rise against the setting of the sun A frigid chill hits the streets And petrifies our bones Where the end lies Nobody knows

Zealots 02:49
Brothers and sisters The time has come Rejoice! The rapture has now begun We faithful few Committed to The Word Soon the bombs will drop And take us home Gather round my loyal children God’s wrath is at hand A wave of destruction Shall erase the sins of man Time for ascension Prepare your souls Our righteousness prevails Our vigilance against the heathens will be rewarded Amidst the obliteration, we will rise triumphant Gather round my loyal children God’s wrath is at hand A wave of destruction Shall erase the sins of man Time for ascension Prepare your souls Our righteousness prevails Let the sinners burn In eternal fire We will watch with glee From up on high  One moment of painful bliss And all earthly troubles will be swept away Face your faith! Embrace the end! Only moments now...

Suffocating Supply of oxygen running low The sight before my eyes Defied description We heard the garbled transmitted reports But the mushroom clouds were the final confirmation No planet left Claustrophobia setting in Survival unlikely I’ve eaten all the rations I think I’m losing my mind Do I risk re-entry Or perish in the dark? Die slow or die like the others? Can I pilot this thing alone? Our mission was so simple How did it come to this? There’s no way we could have prepared for this situation I couldn’t take the easy way out And if I manage to get out alive The stench of their bodies will haunt me forever Suit up, let’s finish this now Before I fall to this madness Am I doomed to drift through the vacuum? I could be the last man alive No other option I have only death to fear Hands grip the controls I’m coming home!

The circle track we’re running’s all blood and dust Our feet are draggin’ but we’re digging ruts The whip's cracking gives me hope because It means that someone else still gives a fuck Eyes wide as you race the sun Feeling tired, yea, you’ve just begun That sick feeling in your gut again Look left and throw it up again Keep moving or the whip will win It’s sure as hell beaten better men Torment their minds so that they know not what they do Gouge out their eyes so that they see not where they go Stuck in perpetual motion Time stands still
6.
Tensions are rising No one trusts each other Your money buys nothing Famine, poverty, and war This isn’t working any more The violence grew At first, no one knew The depths to how far they’d go When their backs were against the wall Futile prayers in every language Hurled toward the sky “What could we have done different?!” The news stirred the paranoia Exacerbated by the lies We tore each other apart Animalistic tendencies Escalated tactics And mathematic contingencies The privileged learned through social media Some countries rioted in the streets Others knew nothing But in the end, No one was spared Our fate was intertwined
