(The Earth Before Cities)
Fantastic landscapes that
Stretch to the edge of the sky
And blur into horizons
As far as the eye can
Perceive and reveal
In their glorious sights all the
Science of God
All the powers of life
Murals and palimspsests
Laid over rock and earth
Laden with colours
And earthly desires and
All is a garden for death
And destruction and life
In a cycle of endless rebirth
And renewel

Vulture King

|

|
(The Sixth Extinction)
Sat wings wide on his carcass throne
In his grizzly castle of blood and bone
With his sharp, dark eyes and his long, cold stare
Watch the Vulture King as he tears flesh bare (nightmare)
Now the apes have come to despoil the land
And their poison flows through the carrion
And the Vulture King who kept plagues at bay
Will in death curse them to a painful end (none spared)

(The Rout of Humanity)
The springs grow silent, the world grows quiet
And men, done carving the world apart
Now see the light as the fires grow dark
And frantically try to light a spark
Too late, the kings and the bourgeoisie,
The rich, the captains of industry
Now grasp the truth and begin to see
The future cost of their luxury
The millions crushed under poverty
Are first to suffer expiry
A painful death from a cruel disease
Or slums pulled under the rising seas
But nature suffers no fool to live
And soon the doom willl consume the rich
The blood of classes mixed in the streets
Environmental apocalypse
The blood congeals, the world moves on
From temporary oblivion
The Earth scabs over with fields and trees
Reclaiming cities with leaves of green
And man, now humbled must start again
Reduced to living Mousterian
No memories of the forgotten age
A footnote lost on a burning page

The Church of Holy Fear

|
(The New Religion)
Lost sons of a fallen race
Daughters of man left to face
Dark nights in the world untamed
Pay for ancestor's disgrace
Come to the church, gather here
Come to this place, pray and kneel
Pray now to the Holy Fear
Come to the church, sins revealed

(Man on the Brink of Erasure)
Years burn, pages turn
Man once more masters the Earth
And by some twist of fate
Replicates that cursed age with
Air clogged thick with smog
Seas become oceans of sludge
But still bells loudly peel
From the Church of Holy Fear
Panic held up high
Consecrated human fright
Anxiety now seen
As a blessed state of being
But fear bred in night
Could now save 6 billion lives
A sudden wave a dread
As scholars exhume the dead
Bones of long ago
Mirror images in stone
The fragments of machines
Relics of a time of greed
A vision of the grave
Man begins to change his ways
Guided by Holy Fear
Makes peace with his mother dear

Disco Inferno is the best synthwave-esque track I've ever heard, and that says a lot.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.
