3000 A.D
This is life on Earth, The year: 3000 A.D
This is the fate of us and the shape of things to be
Electric eyes and mercurial skies and a bounty of toxic dust
It gets in your lungs, it’s like breathing fire but you breathe it for you must
Watch as the people hide in their cities of debris
Watch them try to shield themselves from the phantom powers that be
Chaos reigns in the cities of Earth where the people have lost their way
And underground is the city of FEAR where the people always pay
(Storm coming - 3000 A.D) It doesn’t mean that much to me
(The way it was) Just the path of history
(Storm coming, future bound) It’s the decay of all we see
That leads us on - 3000 A.D
THEY are the keepers of truth, selling lies at every turn
THEY are the angels of DEATH and they have come to watch it burn
The hammer falls, the Messiah calls, has he come to save them all?
No, it’s clear to me he is much too late, he has come to watch them fall
(Storm coming - 3000 A.D) It doesn’t mean that much to me
(The way it was) Just the path of history
(Storm coming, future bound) It’s the decay of all we see
That leads us on - 3000 A.D
We built it up to let it go
Will we make it? I don’t know!
Could end up in Hell but at least you’re free
That’s much more than you can say for me
I’d rather be dead than living on Earth
With toxic dust and MUTANT BIRTH
The whole world’s coming, coming to an end
We fucked it up and now here we are again…

Cells
This is the end of the perfect creation
On the back of the dearth of the nation
Of the germs bred for war and for Hell
Is your disease, which watched as civilisation fell
We have arrived at this strange plateau
And day by day you feel safe in what you know
You have evolved, you are the best
But this virus, it rests within your…
Cells! Internal Invasion
Cells! A deadly contagion
Cells! Decaying from the inside
What you’ve made is the death of you all
Now you watch as the foundations fall
Your creation - a patchwork of DEATH
A new procession. Is this what you get?
Now you may think you are the chosen one
But you’ll be rotting like the beasts that you once shunned
You’re not the centre of the universe
Just the centre for a living, feeding…
CURSE! Internal Invasion
Cells! A deadly contagion
Cells! Decaying from the inside
This is the city of the plague
Now tell them about the things you’ve made
Those walls have become a tomb
enclose around you like a concrete womb
The end is coming IT’S SOMETHING
Feel it slipping away… Like nothing!
Right now! Builders of the civilisation
Right now! Victims of the degeneration
Right now! Human race - full devastation
Right now! Amoeba inherits our station
Someone say something! It’s coming
Epoch of the human race… It’s going!
Abandon all hope of salvation
Microscopic annihilation
LOOK OUT! Contamination
Corpsification…

The Network
There are things that you remember, there are places that you go
A world that lies within the screen and dictates what you know
Let THE NETWORK take you there, provide you with your dreams
Fill you up with hope, fear and all the other things
Step into THE VOID, cross into the zone
As long as you tune in then you won’t have to be alone
They tell you what to think, tell you what to say
despite your rationality, willingly you OBEY
The Network - Monopoly of the truth
The Network - The cycle poisons you
The Network - You’re hypnotised
A nightmare coming true
Abandon your resistance, injection of the meme
They recreate the past, it’s all just as it seems
“The future is a battle” That’s what The Network says
Extracting what is black and white out from all the greys
The Network - A triumph of democracy
The Network - A war where no one bleeds
The Network - it’s a world of hate
Bursting through the screen
Tomorrow - Tune in, your mind will be dead
Tomorrow - Living inside of your head
Tomorrow - You don’t believe what they say
Tomorrow - Remember when THE NETWORK used to PAY
The things that you remember, the places that you go
The voices in your head say there’s a lot that you don’t know
Now lay you down to sleep at night and maybe in your dreams
You’ll find a world that you forgot where nothing’s as it seems
The Network - Death throes of an industry
The Network - Conceptual apostasy
The Network - A potent dream
Master provider of bankrupt ideologies

Who's Watching?

Who’s Watching?
You live free through the day but tonight you are a ghost at play
Shadows cast a net that safely swallows you
And if you’ve got a secret, or if you’ve got nothing to hide
It’s all the same and the game is won
WHO’s been watching? THEY are watching you
WHO’s been watching? They are watching
WHO’s been watching? They are watching you
They are watching, Now you RUN
Alone in your dark apartment you live in a hazy world
your dreams and schemes are safely locked away
but if you’ve ever wondered about the chill creeping up your spine
You’ve felt their eyes while they are watching you
Who’s been watching? THEY are watching you
Who’s been watching? They are watching
Who’s been watching? They are watching you
They are watching, Now you RUN
Disembodied voices sing through the speakers they will ring
CALLING for their brother soldiers… is this real or are you dreaming?
One by one they come for you, they’ve got eyes all around you too
For your crime you must admit and for your soul it’s time to quit
You wake from the grip of slumber, a nightmare looming in a mess of black
Outside that world just seems so FAR away
And with their footsteps coming, the ghost of freedom RUNNING
You find too late that they are here to stay
Who’s been watching? THEY are watching you
Who’s been watching? They are watching
Who’s been watching? They are watching you
They are watching, Now you RUN

These Fires

These Fires
These fires, these Fires, these skies of red
That BURN throughout the years
Remember, remember those skies of blue that since have disappeared
Onward wasteland, whither away
Bring up the tide, bring on DECAY…
The dead, the dead, so many there
Lay down upon the Earth
An endless desert yet still no spring
No chance for our rebirth
Onward wasteland, whither away
Bring up the tide, bring on decay
I saw the sky burn up
I saw the ship go down
So few are we that are left
So few are we here now
The sun, the sun, it burns so bright
through all the atmosphere
My eyes, my eyes it does ignite
with an image so unclear
Onward wasteland, whither away
Bring up the tide, bring on decay
Rabble waves and nowhere to run
IT HAS BEGUN
These fires burn bright
stem out into a river of light
Heat rising, sun climbing
Then gives way to an ocean of night
I saw the sky turn red
I watched the mountains fall
I saw the EARTH decay
These fires will burn us all

The World We Knew
Let go, it surrounds you now
It’s omnipresence is a foregone vow
They know that they control your mind
You are their creation
Do what they want, do what they say
Do what you must for comes the day
When all that you know will be left in the rubble
(Nobody wants to believe it)
(Only the DAMNED could conceive it)
They speak, you understand
You are unique in their peculiar land
How quick did the whole thing fall?
One Generation
Nowhere to go, NOTHING to do
No-one to trust, it’s curtains for you
Or they’ll keep you alive for a season in hell
The world that we knew has now GONE forever
Awake from the ether to your modern disease
Endlessly waiting in expectation
For death to blow in with the Breeze
Let them go - Now they are just memories
Let them GO - Don’t wrestle with your memories
Time will show - Time forgets everything
This is it, new days of the empire
Let them go - They bury the dead now
Let them go - They’re all in your head now
Time will show - When everything’s said now
This is it, new DAYS OF THE EMPIRE
The world we knew is gone forever
You WAKE from the ether to your modern disease
Endlessly waiting in expectation
For death to blow in with the Breeze

Journeys
We CROSS The Void through radiation fields
Home far behind us, its fate already sealed
Traverse the stars, cataloguing worlds
To find a new haven for MAN
Future bound the quest began
Searching, Waiting, Hoping
Your world will soon be ours
We endeavour to deprive
Always searching the skies
The voyage begins
Take a step and watch your mind spin
One world, one hope
All dangling from a single rope
Take a leap towards the burning light
Armageddon comes pray that it will be alright
You’re never more ALONE than when you are so far from home
We leave behind us our path of destruction
Our race has spread, We’re living on the RUN
We journey far and we journey deep
Still searching for the source of life
Water, Air, Warmth and Light
Gives birth far from the Earth
We endeavour to deprive
Always searching the skies
The voyage begins
Take a step and watch your mind spin
One world, one hope
All dangling from a single rope
Take a leap towards the burning light
You better pray that it will be alright
You’re never more alone than when you are so far from home
And now we navigate, our course is set in stone
(We endeavour to deprive)
Bring the future into being, cast off for the UNKOWN
(Always searching, Alone)
Our DESTINATION far from all we know
Our evolution left all things below
An old world dies, A new one in our sights
Terraform, the Earth reborn
But you can't outrun all that you’ve done
We cross the Void

One hell of an album from start to finish. Literally all killer and no filler. A must for anyone who digs modern acts like Powertrip, Lowest creature and Hell Bent. Fans of Cro-Mags, Cryptic Slaughter and Sacred Reich will also appreciate this record. Brutal, melodic, tight and hitting way above the grade.
