lyrics

There’s this notion long standing about our hearts-
That if you delve deep enough into the dark, there’ll be a light to guide you in the labyrinths on your mind. Which is wrong!
For I Barsanuphius declare that all you have is you and the spirits you conjure up to get you through this daring escapade of will
for the world rests upon your shoulders and shrug for if you do
that silhouetted tree on the horizon will crumble before you.

But don’t look back!
On the archetypes or they’ll smash you apart.
We’re animals playing as people who’ve known all along
That the land is not property
You should only trade with the Earth what you need
And I can’t believe, that our one species, is being so ridiculous.

Now finally we can watch our garden die, from capital effect and rampant pesticides,
In the air there’s an ear splitting din, raised by a million screaming voices faced with extinction.
There’s yet to be such a widespread population,
Insatiable requests required by seven billion people
Look what our minds have achieved
Rivers running dry, deaths of countless seas.
And ecological war I don’t believe.
City lights washing out all the stars,
Stripped of their brilliance by flashing screens.
Can you feel it! I’m sure that something is coming.
I can barely breathe.
The destroyer mother returns and eternal darkness descends upon everything.
