In comparison We are nothing On the map of existence Not even a grain of sand See beyond this Tiny spurt of flame Life on earth is Impermanent Lost in this feeble human existence Search for your own quintessence Insubordinate the lies (Insubordinate the lies) Do not believe (Do not believe) Hindering the progress (Hindering the progress) Of our intellectual birth Cleverly ambiguous Interpretation impossible Equivocal in all it's evidence Misleading and vague A tool for power Hampering our free will Evasive words From an unloving god Humankind Shackled from birth Shackled from birth Insubordinate the lies (Insubordinate the lies) Do not believe (Do not believe) Hindering the progress (Hindering the progress) Of our intellectual birth

In the flickering light Now no one may rest With this blood we may reveal What lies in store Through the ages Our punishment is the never ending journey Now there is no return We congregate in the mud Drawing the circle Within sacred boundaries The summoning will commence A vibrating cry breaks the silence Something is calling from below All the echoes unbound We welcome thee The Oceanborn We've brought you to this realm We welcome thee Mankind will mourn because I am the Oceanborn From west to east A new beginning arises The worlds have been connected The simmering fire will now die An eternal storm flood the lands The aquatic age has come Drastic changes in climate Was that all it took? We thought to high of ourselves By fire, the reptilian era Came to an end An ironic demise Awaits mankind We welcome thee The Oceanborn We've brought you to this realm We welcome thee Mankind will mourn because I am the Oceanborn Planetary immune system Cleansing the surface From this parasitic race The aquatic age has come

"Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that; one way or another." - J. Robert Oppenheimer Skeletons of rust left in its wake At first a silent progression then came the arpeggios of death Slowly weaving the web Connecting the junctions Raiding the earth For silver and gold Uncreation Prepare for your final embrace Within the walls of your grace You can continue your crusade Uncreation manmade Elements escaping the atmosphere Leaving all hope to science Echoes of slaughter Still you won't see That the world needs you Echoes of torment Still you won't see That the world needs you Prepare for your final embrace Within the walls of your grace You can continue your crusade Uncreation manmade Prepare for your final embrace Within the walls of your grace You can continue your crusade Uncreation manmade

A forgotten god carved in stone The essence of the past speaks the truth Mans struggle of immortality Nothing lasts forever Time is a grinding wheel Slowly turning the tide You will not live forever Nor will that which you leave behind The Ephemeral Endeavor Empires crumble like castles made of sand The lingering illusion of our own importance We create idols for worship when the true god of life and death makes existence possible Are you blind? Are you blind? Are you blind? You will not live forever Nor will that which you leave behind The Ephemeral Endeavor

Above our heads the canopy of stars The celestial sphere tears itself apart We're finally neglected by the sun That which is far away matters at last Crumbling, trickling as I watch above Reach out your hands and cherish this moment We've had our time We're the chosen We'll see the fire We're the generation That witness the end of this world Finally, Everything comes to an end We got to experience The ephemeral joy of consciousness Finally, Everything comes to an end We got to experience The ephemeral joy of consciousness Any man will provide vindication for their beliefs Made up gods defended by those in flesh and bone It doesn't matter what they said It doesn't matter what they did It doesn't matter what they said It doesn't matter what they did Nothing matters now Nothing matters now Nothing matters now Nothing The hour has come It was all for naught Finally, Everything comes to an end We got to experience The ephemeral joy of consciousness Finally, Everything comes to an end We got to experience
