lirik lagu derelict earth – below the empty skies
i watched the world i loved ravaged by its madness
my orphaned, widowed peers devastated in distress…
only remorse remains after the hysteria
aftermath of a self~inflicted euthanasia
rapture came before the seventh seal was opened
man proved its inept potency through cosmocide
all the once underlying abjection awakened
leading to an absolute, pervasive divide
families imbrued their hands in one another’s blood
their innocence was among casualties of war
even before the shredded bodies dragged by the flood
repugnant heaps of bloated corpses and scattered gore…
centenarian cities fell to ruins in seconds
forests turned to cinders as the only backgrounds
birdsongs went silent for the nations’ threnody
as the problem turned into its own remedy…
darknesses were cast over the kingdom of men
prudish shroud covering our shameful misdeeds
all alone, mankind banished itself from heaven
set ablaze by the confrontation of all creeds
creation of a deity adamant to our cries
as we overstepped our bounds and triggered doomsday
left forlorn in our end, our god averted his eyes
its angels took all our beloved and flew away
we were left to stay below the now empty skies…
as nothing is above, there is nothing below
no omnipotent essence to blame for our woe
humanity bears the responsibilities
we, on our own, reached these abject extremities
finally reaping what has been gradually sown
as we endeavored to usurp the divine throne
self~proclamed coronation at highest spheres
haughty tyrants, impostors submerged by their fears
biting avidly in the once forbidden fruits
digging deeper into our malevolent roots
bringing back to life shameful ghosts from our past
memories of a savagery we lambaste
seeking refuge behind deceptive motives
easing torments with religious palliatives
desensitized to the upcoming upheaval
worshipping the lord while becoming the devil…
waging wars in which n0body was victorious
forgoing humanity to become barbarous
leaving behind what we fought for in their graves
forsaking all forms of hopes, virtue of slaves…
