Birth of an Era

Morning light
A hand was raised
To worship in grace
The beginning of life
Agrarian curse
Settling basis
Of forthcoming
Damned times
Hunters-gatherers
Always submitted
Emancipated in
What was paradise.
Learning to domesticate
We learned to dominate
The path of survival
So vital and clear
From egalitarian
To property and greed
How did irrigation
Lead to mass warfare?
Control and subjugation
Population growth,
Work and oppression
And vertical society foundations
Bestowed Shamans
And so bowed the chiefs
Kissed the martyr
Glorified the kings
Once we were
One with the earth
Instinctual freedom renunciation
For the sake of civilization.

Loathe
00:50
|
|
||
|
Woken up in silence and disbelief
In a chamber of void
Senseless, worthless,
Senseless, pointless…
Will I ever emerge from this pressure
That fills my needs?
When my sternum lingers unaware
Of the lack of breath.
Beams of light filter and blind
While the shrill sound rapes my ears.
Anxiety triggers the worst of me
Surrounded by material excess
And mundane hypocrites
To fulfill synthetic wishes
And embrace mediocre times
I find myself in a relentless
One-way path.
By irksome obligations
My soul is crushed.

Cursed Existence
02:15
|
|

|
What’s the porpuse of it all
And where does it come from
Particles in the air
Moving without pattern
There’s need to put
Order in chaos
Aware of
Inevitable death
We are anti-matter
And existential dread
The best for us/would’ve been
If we were not born at all
We are unworthy
Of the gift of life
We made hell
Out of paradise
Despise and reject
Humanity in this form
Causing only
Contempt and scorn
Aware of
Inevitable death
We are anti-matter
And existential dread
There are no answers
For questions
There is no understanding
For cosmic measures
As you were
The human animal
There was no goal in life
As you evolved from the son of man
You need meaning
A reason to be alive
Keep seeking for the answers
Or believing the lies.

Paradox
02:06
|
|
||
|
Follow the guidelines
Of a dictated speech
Repeating without judgment
Is what they want to hear
Retaliate this paradox
This misconception
Is rooted in guilt
From the shadows
You’ll carry for centuries
While you address
Your insecurities
To the others around you
Just to be set free
To be set free
Derogatory interpretation
Of everything that’s said
Obsessive, compulsive
Defeated dependents
Lone Wolf
Designed to belittle you
And destroy your pride
Sever your independence
And replace it with drugs
Retaliate this paradox
Regressive paradox.
|
||||
5. |
|

|
Exercising no self-restraint
And concern for consequences,
This is the underlying root
Of all existence and its complications
The naïve malice
Mankind portrays over its habitat
Accelerates the exhaustion
Of basic resources
Warning signs were given long ago
But this generation of idiots
Multiplied and gained form
Summarizing this behavior
The compelling statement is
Humans are the infection
No rational thought left
To minimize the impact
With the sole attitude of selfish
Center of the universe
Invasive maggot
Corrupting all surroundings
Imposing thoughts
Violating
I was forced into self-hatred
I discovered our real face
Joy can’t exist without pain
Love can’t exist without hate
If the course of things can’t change
I won’t be the first one to say
We left behind a putrid place
We rotted the world and
We have to be erased.

Totalitarian
02:12
|
|
||
|
Vicissitudes of fate
Complaints were never heard
Convictions with no reward
Sentinels of lies
Coercing conformity with
Surveillance and censorship
Their hegemonic powers
Canonize what’s left of us
From behind the gated walls
They punish with no remorse
Gloating without shame
On the face of the innocents
Prisoner in a hometown
Where we dwell, the basic rights
Forbidden to the masses
While we await resigned
This plutocracy of tyrants
Has been long enough
Switching names through the ages
But it’s always the same goal
How to keep 7 billion…
The same purpose as before
Terror by all means
Terror for control
In lieu of learning from the past
Other techniques arise
An illusion of evolving
In this regime we now love
We are given the chance
To choose between two sides
Call it as you want
It’s the same frustration
You simple man who
Wants to live in peace
Accept that you are a slave
Accept your destiny.

Patterns to Follow
03:48
|
|
||
|
Repeat after me
You will be shaped
Like we want you to be
We will take now
Your tender mind
While you are innocent
And easy to adapt
To create a legion
Of servants
And designate a task
We carve your brain
To accept and obey
We decide your values
And imposed texts
Standards of introduction
To your days in life
Don’t revolt
Don’t question
Don’t ask
Once again
From A to Z
Crucify yourself
To times of grief
Now assimilate and understand
What’s about to start
These are the last days
For the rest of your life.
Don’t revolt
Don’t question
Don’t ask
Designate a task
Repetitive and stupefied
Exercises you won’t retain
And you will never apply.

Ecocide

“It’s an attempt to take the environmental perspective and environmental foundations of humanity in a key role to place the environment in a central role and we are thinking about the world and humanity’s place in the world. So you are a dweller of this sacred place called the earth, this is part of the meaning of humanity and humans existence, to recognize our foundation in the earth play a careful role in the continuing evolution of nature.
Technology is taking over human society, it’s a threat to human existence and the only viable option is to end the technological system. Technology seems to be accelerating its presence, it’s rapidly expanding into many aspects of human society, to the extent that we cannot really control the future development of the system. As it becomes more powerful the potential for disaster also increases exponentially. So whether its ecological disaster, self replicating nano-robots… There are many possible scenarios which are completely catastrophic to human future. And if that’s the case the only rational alternative is to end the system now while we still have some possibility of action against it. Technological system is a kind of mortal threat, only the most radical action against the system can protect us from the worst possible outcomes”.

Uncontrollable and delusional drive, I
Never thought it would affect me
Among the landscapes I’ve seen
But for instance, these walls…
Obliterate what’s left of me
May this solitude
Be my epitaph
Eroding me
Rather than liberating us
Man’s downfall resides on every thought of
Anguished imprisonment and
Neglected dependence
In (a) strive to breakthrough
Fighting the agenda
Every reckless action points that…
Success is a failure
This ornamental decay as
Obedient servants of law
Advent of device
Gadgets monopolize
Blessed thy be
Beseeched upon thee
Contemplations of reality in
Megalopolis of vast consumption
Darkened windows of affliction
And few interactions
Seems impossible to find the adjustment
With the environment
Without its desecration
Behold the remains of
This sanctuary of indoctrination.

Cult of El
02:21
|
|

|
Gazing at the stars
Admiring their heavenly glow
Attributing their powers
To communicate with the Gods
Creation for deception
Celestial body less exposed
To the sun divine light.
Oh Saturn keeper of time
Devour your child
El, hexagon
Three dimensional cube
The greater malefic
Enthroned in capricorn
Grant the dominance
To the highest,
Praise the demiurge
For prolific harvest
Ineloquent plebeians
Marching into the unknown
Archetype of salvation
Of cloned symbolism
Indomitable courage
Against impossible odds
Struggling blindly
To the imminent fall
Seal of salt, omen
Of energy that flows
Blatant worship.
Disciplines and limitations
Imposed to restrict
The stance of things
Gnostic pleroma
Of the conspiratory.

Desolated Winds

The sequels of the fall
Left irreparable injuries
This is not a conclusion
But what I have perceived
Hope has never appeared
Yet grey covers
What’s left in here
While weeds grow from the concrete
Apathy is resignation
Of those who don’t want to be
Desolated winds blow
From the distance of the sea
Massive disjunction
Of colossal force
Met against two brothers
Fighting for the soil
Conceived to represent thoughts
Erected for the victory
A reminder
Of ephemerality
Both ceased to exist,
Trapped in anachronism
And memories
Empires shatter,
Characters are gone
Empires crumble,
But scars last forever.
Leaving behind
A host of traces
Decaying
And rusting away.

Boundary
00:58
|
|
||
|
Human forms in the distance
Pathless on the empty road
Roaming where there’s no light
Avoiding all law
Fences built up high
Stopping the dreams of those
Who fought against all systems
To find the comfort
Utopian picture awaits,
Where it stands the North.
Silence wraps the tension
That infects the air with the cold
Nylon houses in transit
Shelters thousands of dogs,
Sons of perpetuation
Daughters of oblivion,
Forsaken ghosts.

Untouchable Pyramid

The pestilent legacy
Upon we wash our hands
Condemns the progress
As the progression goes
With solid steps onward
Rulers of the earth
Species by thousands
On our backs leaving no trace
On the verge of primitive
The littering ape
Embodies definition of disgust
People keep reproducing
Feeding their own lust
More mouths are open
More cheap-labor hands
Industrialism cannot exist
Without these two basic plots
The net of linked vultures
Flying up high
Sentence an effect
Unilateral
Hidden from the sight
This cannot be reformed
Because there’s nothing
Greater than the expansion
Ouroboric cycle,
Pile up those dead and gone
Replace them
For the new generation
This tragic disposition
Evoke us to a grim epithet
No time left
To solve mistakes
On the verge of primitive
The littering ape
Embodies definition of disgust
The net of linked vultures
Flying up high
Sentence an effect
Unilateral
We dug our grave
No time left to analyze
Prophecies were written
And we ignored all words.

Gazing Beyond
02:54
|
|

|
Create a new beginning
When it means the end for us.
The cycle starts once again
Days of abundance
They are forever gone
Hence starvation and atonement
Letting it all go
Reform and regenerate
We shall go back
To what we once were
Return what has been taken…
Cast the last stone and
Silence all anthems
War chant turned into
Total stillness
As above so below
Simplifying all
Against this sickness
Cast the last stone and
Silence all anthems
War chant turned into
Total stillness
Indulgent we have been
Therefore we shall dismantle
Modern society or
Succumb to the machine
Thou shalt not return
All the harm is done
Walk upon the land
Meaningless in space and time
Deconstruct the pillars
To pass the next phase
Regain the balance
Destroyed after thousands years
Let us be dust and wind.
