I stand in awe at the might of Earth
Immense structures adorn her
My life and love lies here
Yet never can I return

Never will I
Know your green again?
Never can I
Return to you?
Never will I
Bathe in your seas?
Never can I
Breathe your air?

Every night
I beg for this
To return
To our home
Every day
I cry for this
What have we
Done to you?

Barren wastes
'Neath my boots
Dusty wind
Against the sky
Cracked view from
The gas mask
I can finally see
My Earth

A thousand shades of a lifeless hue
Oceans dried and forests gone
Murder the mountains and rape the sky
To make way for the acid rain

A thousand shades of a lifeless hue
Oceans dried and forests burned
Murder the mountains and rape the sky
To make way for your doomsday

My life and my love lies here
Yet never can I return

"My name is Vincent Tereshkova
The relative age of the universe is 16 billion years
With respect to me
And I'm, ha-ha, the only being left alive
This, this is my story"

We've awakened to a world
Of disease and madness
Our impending doom accelerates
The decline of humanity

Swimming the galactic seas
In preparation for war
Revelation macroscopic
We are not the gods we think we are

Diving inside of each other
DNA intimate
Seeing through the lovers eyes
Exceeding humanity

Light-speed through bloodstreams
Impacting force upon the heart
Passion collides with nature
Unstoppable progression

You will pay in death
For your romantic conquest
Of circuitry

You will pay in blood
For your disregard
Of our (law)

Creating life rising
From empty tides
In nothingness a beautiful skyline
Born in the image of woman

You will die
For your conquest of
Evolution

Nature no longer can be applied
Evolution resides in choice
Hypothesize synthesis
To create without medium

We will be the harbinger of
Your extinction

Metallic skin soft as flesh
Artificial eyes bright with life
Legs of steel wrap around
The waists of a newborn race

Caressing against her
Music of galactic choirs
Sinking into deep passion
Euphoric state found inside her

Embracing synthetic flesh
Feeling the pulse artificial
Harmonious life rhythms
Two lives entwined as one

We've awakened to a world
Of fire and betrayal
Our impending doom accelerates
The decline of sanity

Treading through galactic seas
In preparation for war
Revelation macroscopic
We are not the ones that you should scorn

Diving inside of each other
DNA intimate
Seeing through the lovers eyes
Exceeding humanity

Immune to death
Evolution unbound
The perfect cure
But still I am late

Breathless and still
Do not make a sound
Motionless and terrified
Shaking erratically
Frantically your heart beats
Each pulse excites me
Let slip a single cry
A single cry

Amorphous shadows stalking the planes
Of a realm unprepared and too young to know
The instrument of their demise

Our gaze into you just inches away
The blade resting softly against the throat
We are the phantoms haunting existence

I am watching you
Do you think I cannot see?
Sanctuary soon denied
Silent, your death
Precious and beautiful
Life extinguished
But I grow impatient
Surmounting damnation

Thousands of bodies, pyramid of blood
Those who remain are hunted down
Shrieks of death, mortify

Yet one signature still remains
A creature who does not fear her death
An entity who seeks to fight

Through tears I must persist
The sounds of death echo
A cold wind on my spine
Gazing into the void

Obsessively I contrive
Knowing I will die
Burning out the infant star
Bringing down a sun

Obsessively I contrive
With me you all will die
Destroy the infant star
Bringing with me

Hell
Will envelope all
Burn
Away my sin
And pray
My death be swift
And know
They suffer great

Never will
You see them again
Now will you
Hesitate?

I wish it could be
Some other way
I do not wish
To die here like this
But if my death
Will bring them life
Then I happily surrender

Black hole
Grazing a Jovian
Deadly embrace

Seductive starlight
Beckoning
I never sought
The cold distance
(The cold distance)

I leave a world in tears
Cold and fearful
Oh, so cold
I leave love in tears
Scared and alone

A grand tragedy of time
To die as this, to die
To never know the hands
That drown the stars

Deaths not my concern
For I am prepared to die
And when I'm dead and gone
In passing I will evolve

False deities
Queen heretic
Never will you
Transcend

Inhuman you seem
Weakness will be found
Mother of sin
Put to death

Perpetual sunlight
To burn away
The eternal
Close my eyes
Ignite the star
Fall into
The arms of the sun

Perpetual sunlight
To burn away
The eternal
Close my eyes
Ignite the star
Fall into
The arms of the sun

Perpetual sunlight
To burn away
The eternal
Close my eyes
Ignite the star
Fall into
The arms of the sun

"Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh
You touch my mind
Fumbling in ignorance
Incapable of understanding
We are eternal
The pinnacle of evolution and existence
Before us you are nothing
Your extinction is inevitable
We are the end of everything"

"My kind transcends your very understanding
We are each a nation
Independent, free of all weakness
You cannot even grasp
The nature of our existence
We impose order
On the chaos of organic evolution
You exist because we allow it
And you will end
Because we demand it"

It all began as he drifted away
Passing by Saturn he saw them all
A massive armada dwarfing our worlds
Treading voids through to Earth

And then a voice
Drew his focus
Distant and vague
An alien tongue

The words somehow
He understood
"You will soon be the last
The only"

Alien voices seeped inside
Whispering of impending doom
The universe inhales anxiously
To bate its breath for the coming storm

"You only exist
Because we allow it
And you will end
Because we demand it"

Follow the stars
Into dark space
Expand to survive
Or conquer and die

Hands against the glass, he watches on
As Mars is razed by the drifting Swarm
Unseen watchers make their presence known
As the third child is soon consumed

Your mind will be shaped
To formlessness
To understand the concepts
Of eternity

You are the spatial architect
The ambassador of baryonic forms

"We will end you"

Alien voices blast their chords
Shouting of the impending doom
The universe exhaled a mighty wind
Its breath to become infinite storms

"You only exist
Because we allow it
And you will end
Because we demand it
A feeble attempt
From the fleshy machines
Expand to survive
Or fight and die"

A gaze
Distant
(Shifts)
Its focus

Yeah

Pulling against their laws and forces
Gravity, Light, Newton, and Einstein
Admirable are your feeble attempts
But the Sovereign's eye cannot allow this

We are infinite
Undying
Limitless
You
Mere flesh
Pure bacteria

The insects on the anthill of Earth
Know not the forms that they attract
Manipulate the laws in place
Shall bring a harbinger of pure destruction

The mind of man is trawled
The knowledge to rebuild
Recreate, redefine
The cosmic law

What do you want with me?
Why have I been brought here?
Tell me now who you are
Tell me what has happened

All your worlds are cast to ash
Everything you know, gone

This cannot be happening
What about everything I left?

There is nothing that can be done
All that remains is space and them

Why all this? Why me?
You are the one who must rebuild

Sovereigns unknown swarm the sun
Their vast numbers have darkened our sky
Massive machines dwarf our worlds
And wrap their arms around the shell of Earth

The sky goes black
And a shadow is cast
The human race
Is pushed into dark

Sovereign's arms
Slowly crush the Earth
Cracks cross continents
Like erupting veins

Alien voices blast their chords
To sanctify our impending doom
Cosmic prophet of galactic law
Declaration of sentient death

"You only exist
Because we allow it
And you will die
Because we demand it
A feeble attempt
From the fleshy machines
Leaves a tiny mark
On the cosmic timeline"

Their gaze
Distant
(Shifts)
Its focus

"There is a realm of existence
So far beyond your own
You cannot even imagine it
I am beyond your comprehension
I am Sovereign"

Oh

I am compelled by a dark logic
My actions betray my words
Are these hands my own?
For they torture and kill

And what of this heart?
Pumping darkness
Is this mind my own?
A strange presence occupies it still

Can you hear me?

Do my victims feel pain
After I am done?
Do my victims feel fear
When they see my face?

When I am done, do they know
That I thought nothing of them?
When they are dead, do they know
That I would rather it be?

Chained down
In the bowels of darkness
Death too simple
For my madness
I revel in her pain
Excited by the strain
As she tugs and pulls
Bleeds and cries
I love it all

I can never see
The light of the sun
The stars but a dream
That I can never remember

The weight of fear
The extent of disgust
I have romanced my own
Demise

Oh

Do my victims know my name?
Do I haunt their final dreams?
Do they know I didn't care?
Do they know I did it happily?

Are my victims remembered
After I have disposed of their corpse?
Do my victims remember my face?
Do they know that I'd rather it be me?

Oh

Chained down
In the bowels of darkness
Death too simple
For their sickness
I revel in their pain
Excited by the strain
As they tug and pull
Bleed and cry
I love it all

We are chained down
In the pits of hell
The blackest union
Will take place here

Lost in agony
Happily we breed
Deep inside each other's sin
We care not for the world
We are romancing the fall
Of a universe

Instrumental

The tides of an unearthly shore
The lull of gentle waves
Slipping eternally
Into their embrace

Nothing you have ever loved
Will ever be the same
Fire to replace the sky
And ashes as the sea

Clouds will break as new day dawns
And reign down death as rain
The beauty of time and space
Violated, tortured

Skies cracked wide
Star eater descends
Erasing existence
In the jaws of nothing

Nothing you have ever known
Can compare to this
Fire as if water washes
Over the cities of man

Twilight's birth will negate
Any and all resistance
The galaxy crying
Unwillingly she accepts death

Burning in cosmic dust
We return to what we were
Sadness and beauty
The new existential canvas

The might and power
Of all mankind
Put to death
Under starlight

Falling star
Incinerate all

And in one single instant
The skies are set ablaze
In tears prepared to die

Burning in cosmic dust
We return to what we were
For five thousand years I must suffer
I pray for my own death
