Apophis 05:54
Before creation Before man Only chaos Nothing to comprehend And from the chaos Rose the gods Divine beings made to rule this world An equilibrium of power made to guarantee That mortal and immortal life can coexist eternally When the clash of light and darkness peaked A sibling seeks aid for a vulgar deed Brother Join me Apophis Serpent of the Nile Brother We’ll bring the end to it all We’ll bring the end to it all I’m the bearer of boundless might Balance, order, god-given right I will never dare to sacrifice My duty here, eternal life Those who destroy the lie, promote order Those who promote the good, will erase the evil As fullness casts out appetite Clothes cover the nude and heaven clears up after a storm Brother Join me Apophis Eater of souls Brother We’ll bring an end to this world Where questions wither New answers bloom Ending his reign To befall this land with darkness Unlight entombs The mortal realm Embodiment of chaos Gods of sin I have not committed sin, robbery with violence, adultery I have not shut my ears to the words of truth I have not multiplied my words in speaking I have not debauched the wife of any man I have not slain men and women I have not purloined offerings I have not polluted myself I have not acted with evil rage I have not attacked any man I have not been an eavesdropper, angry without just cause I have not blasphemed, against the king I have not judged with undue haste I have not carried away food I have not uttered lies, curses I have not pried into matters I have not stolen, grain, cultivated land The property of the gods Gods of sin, gods of sin Join my reign, not your reign Gods of sin, gods of sin The sun will fail to rise I’m the keeper of bliss and plight Night, day, circle of life I will always make the sacrifice My duty calls, guardian of light You don’t understand balance of life If I must go, you too will die This rivalry until the end of time Unbroken circle, constant fight No use in trying to expedite This is our fate, the stars aligned Futile task a brother to incite On the horizon you will wait each night You know your place and I know mine Take it as a blessing in disguise You will never take me by surprise My work is done The sun will rise

Ruler on his throne up high Chosen by god to bleed us dry For generations we endured No choice remains We have to rise up Bury the crown Into the ashes Of cities that burned To be relinquished Bury the crown Beneath the ruins Of palaces scorched To be forgotten You clipped the herd you were to tend until you reached the bone Decimated harmless sheep a pack of wolves remains Corrupted eyes won’t see what’s right a blackened heart will reign Iron fist oppressing us, Infested mind Fear, pain, anguish There is an answer to our suffering We have to rise up, overthrow the king Resist and join our ranks my friend Oppression comes to an end They minimized our liberty Yet still tell us we are free Bury the crown Into the ashes of cities that burned To be relinquished Bury the crown Beneath the ruins of palaces scorched To be forgotten A monarchy that went astray, take back what’s ours and make them pay Reap what you sow, you earned our rage, gold won’t save you from revenge Tyrant may be in denial, join forces make him face the trial Betrayed his vows, abused his power punishment, he will perish We have found the answer to our suffering Ending his era of oppression Hang him Kill him Slay him Erase him Hang him Kill him Slay him Erase him King, dictator, despot dies And not a single person cries All your debts in blood repaid Your legacy will fade Blue blood runs cold

My senses sharpen as I’m shot out Through the canopy Feels like I’m being dragged Through rows of sharp uneven teeth My face, my neck, my wrists, my ankles sting from cold My body is a freezing mass of expanding pain Trapped in the storm Cling to existence Cheating death Cling to existence Freefalling through the vastness of the sky Save your life Freefalling straight into hurricane’s eye Stay alive I’m tumbling to certain demise Constant turning How can it be that I’m alive? Death is yearning Since the ejection I did not have a chance to breathe The oxygen mask flopping wildly against my face I force my numb hands to obey and to control And as I grab the mask it is survival I behold Ever struggling Cling to existence Cheating death Cling to existence Freefalling through the vastness of the sky Save your life Freefalling straight into hurricane’s eye Stay alive You’re conscious In spite of everything you’re still here Hang on, hang on Hang on, hang on You might make it You’re responsive, you’re thinking You know what’s going on Keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going I’m tumbling to certain demise Constant turning How can it be that I’m alive? Death is yearning I’m getting closer to the ground And suddenly see trees I grit my teeth I close my eyes Movement stops And I’m alive

There is a great filter that every form of life Must cross It determines the ability to continue Moving forward or if all must forever stop But Have we already passed it Or will we fall? Could we be could we be the first multiplanetary species Might we be might already be on the brink of existence A challenge so immensely hard to overcome That everything, almost everything is doomed to fail Human technology is still in its infancy How could we possibly have found them Absence of evidence is not Evidence of absence They might be Lost and long forgotten Forgotten Forgotten The great Great filter Great filter takes us all The great Great filter Great filter rise and fall But If we already passed it Why haven’t all? It might be the nature of intelligence to destroy itself, Or it is the nature of thinking beings to destroy each other Life might face recurring times of natural disasters Or everyone is listening but no one is transmitting Humanity is still in its infancy Still in quarrels with each other Absence of evidence is not Evidence of absence We will be Lost and long forgotten Forgotten The great Great filter Great filter takes us all The great Great filter Great filter rise and fall The great Great filter Great filter takes us all The great Great filter Great filter rise and fall The great Great filter Great filter takes us all The great Great filter Great filter rise and fall Annihilation Fanaticism Resource exhaustion Global pandemic AI gone rogue Gamma ray burst The great Great filter Great filter takes us all The great Great filter Great filter all shall fall Calamity

Soulmate left his homeland To take what he is owed Heretics denied the tribute Slayed him from behind Then they dared to send a message Courting for my hand and land Asking me to be betrothed Married to the traitors heir Hoping for a docile victim To consolidate the claim Harvesting what they have plotted All they reap will be my rage My rage Your demise I will make history forget your name Oh you will scream I will never swallow my pride You can not ever make me obey you I will never swallow my pride You can not ever make me obey Join us You can’t take me Come now I am strong Join us You can’t take me We will Won’t belong Join us You can’t take me We will Not for long Join us You can’t take me Try us Bring it on Thought I was the weakest link I’ll show you strength from deep within More pain than you will ever know History’s written anyhow Invited them into my city Offered shelter and my hand Made them send their dignitaries Led into the promised land Greedy eyes won’t see deception Nor the danger ‘til too late False sense of security In the end I let them burn I will never swallow my pride You will not ever make me obey you I will never swallow my pride You will not ever make me obey Join us You can’t take me Come now I am strong Join us You can’t take me We will Won’t belong Join us You can’t take me We will Not for long Join us You can’t take me Try us Bring it on Oppression avoided Vengeance extorted They had come into my realm to take what they desired Welcomed them with open arms they got what they deserved Vengeance All their sinful cities will be Wiped out They won’t have a single chance for Penance Lies and crimes will soon become their Downfall And I’m still waiting, thirsting for my Vengeance All their sinful cities will be Wiped out They won’t have a single chance for Penance Lies and crimes will soon become their Downfall I’ll burn your cities to the ground Your remains will not be found Take away your dignity Heritage and liberty I will sow your fields with salt No more progenies unfold Leave this land in disarray Fear and terror and dismay I embrace Cruelty My revenge Equity I rewrite History Legacy Disappears Finally they knelt before me Begged for pardon to withstand Hoped to find my mercy for them If they showed that they repent I will never show them mercy I will never show them grace I will only show them hatred Vanished from the face of earth Save us Unforsaken Help us No I won’t Spare us Will not save you Mercy Time is gone Save us Unaquitted Help us Time is gone Mercy Unacknowledged Come now I am strong Vengeance

We are way past our survival if we don’t change drastically Overexploitation caused a world drenched in misery There might be a chance to halt this if it were priority But humankind is busy pointing fingers needlessly Global warming, dying species Burning forests, corporate greed These are all the man-made impacts No one really wants to see What you want What you get You deserve Disrespect You ingest suffering It’s the only thing satiating your greed You ingest suffering It’s the only way of feeling complete You ingest suffering It’s the only bit of fake luxury You ingest suffering Such an easy way to get what you need You ingest suffering Such a reckless way, make sure you compete You ingest suffering You don’t care about, what system you feed The end is near Just care about ourselves We are all here, falling The end is near Everyone for themselves We are all here, fallen How have we allowed a system driven by fanatic seed It is resting on the shoulders of the meek, the poor, the weak The fortunate enjoy the comfort consuming with endless greed While the rest are being drained, standing by in disbelief Starving children, poisoned water Rampant plagues, corporate greed These are all the man-made impacts No one really wants to see What you want What you get You deserve Disrespect You ingest suffering It’s the only thing satiating your greed You ingest suffering It’s the only way of feeling complete You ingest suffering It’s the only bit of fake luxury You ingest suffering Such an easy way to get what you need You ingest suffering Such a reckless way make sure you compete You ingest suffering You don’t care about, what system you feed What you wanted Was a peaceful existence in vanity What you got Is your home on the brink of calamity We can't make drastic change, so we don't harm the economy These are the words that the preacher has uttered into the abyss The end is near We are all here Smothered by fear The end is near The end is near A plague upon this world We are all here, falling The end is near Curse this rapacity We are all here, fallen You were not the ones to blame It’s your whole generation They will all behave the same Cause they don’t see the problem You are not the one to blame It’s your whole generation They will all behave the same Cause they don’t see the problem The end is near Last chance to save this world We are all here, falling The end is near Fend of catastrophe Or we will all be, falling You ingest suffering!

Take my power it’s the cure All my hatred make it yours In this void you can endure Never ever felt so pure All I wanted There is a path in life that humans cannot travel An obscure passage through the void and through the nether But I can’t walk it I’m still here bleeding Come Promise yourself To the unknown Take this intricacy back as your own Unbody yourself Embrace the unknown This is the way that your power will grow Suffer I have suffered Take all my suffering This is what I always wanted There is a path in life that few will dare to travel An obscure passage through the void and through the nether Now I can walk it No longer bleeding Surrender Unto me Embrace it Set it free I can feel this condemnation takes ahold of me My feeble mind is swallowed by boundless voracity We knew the world would not be the same Few people laughed Few people cried Most people were silent I remembered the line from the hindu scripture The Bhagavad Gita Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince that He should do his duty And to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form And says: Now I am become death The destroyer of worlds Now I am become death What have I unleashed upon this realm This world will never be the same Now I have walked it Wish I was feeling How was I longing Futile my ending

...Calamity 05:49
It is the dawning of all time Yet we were never on the rise As there would always seem to be A piece of nothingness in me And it was never on my side The never ending pride That always seemed to be This piece of nothingness But I never had the guts to avow what I want from life Endless fright It is the dawning of all times And I was always on the rise And there would never seem to be A piece of nothingness in me And it was always on my side The unforsaken pride That never seemed to be This piece of nothingness Take this life It’s not mine Promise me Eternity But What I want Not what I get What I deserve What I respect For embracing the secret of time Get for destroying the pieces of mind It is the dawning of all time Yet I was never on the rise As there would always seem to be A piece of nothingness in me And it was never on my side The never ending pride That always seemed to be This piece of nothingness Take this life It’s not mine Promise me Liberty But What I want Not what I get What I deserve What I regret For facing the vanity of life Get for imploring importance inside Oh you silly humans Look at yourself Take a deep hard look at yourself At your life At your own existence Start thinking What Is it you want to achieve What is it you want to become What is it you strife for? You're gonna live You're gonna die And nothing of it will ever have mattered Time for celebration Because we came from nothing And we will return To Nothing Nothing is what you are Nothing is what you will become Because we are All Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing
