[00:46.09]They manufactured their fate
[00:48.20]Machines still echo in these stark landscapes
[00:50.55]Hallucinations of grandeur led them to boast
[00:52.56]The distracted culture let the industries clench at their throats
[00:54.87]They were choking in their billowy haste
[00:58.14]Rising stacks spewed out toxic waste
[00:59.59]Lethal injections left a toxic trace
[01:01.78]The drugged atmosphere was a heavy embrace
[01:04.12]Corrosive gases thickened the atmosphere
[01:08.61]They moved through the unknown with their backs toward the mirror
[01:15.86]
[01:27.88]The past comes to life on the Earth sect
[01:32.34]Second in line as the Venus project
[01:36.51]War was the priority for their future
[01:38.79]It overrode the threat of the fast rising temperature point of no return as they blistered and peeled
[01:43.67]It didn't matter though because their fate had been sealed
[01:46.05]Trapped inside an envelope of nuclear overkill
[01:47.96]They ensured all life to be born still
[01:50.09]The Earth was pressure cooked as the water fled
[01:52.42]The land was filled with the dust from the dead
[01:54.69]Small jobs for big egos who let greed corrupt their lives
[01:59.12]They knew their future was coming, but illusions diverted their eyes
[02:28.83]
[04:27.02]Global dissonance, a scalding air of silence
[04:31.57]Geographic reverberations of apathetic violence
[04:36.85]
[04:45.54]Reminders of their greatness stand grim and barren
[04:50.17]Alone and useless over vast expanses
[04:54.88]The entirety of their race was brainwashed by scare tactics
[04:59.60]Unable to see any truth under a veil of distraction
[05:04.51]FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR
[05:14.01]Kill them before they kill you
[05:20.75]The result of that mentality led to...
[05:23.46]
[05:52.45]Lifeless scenes emerge between the clouds of acidic mist
[05:54.92]Metalloid structures crowd this puke colored abyss
[05:57.03]The past is the only thing living on the planet
[05:59.30]A runaway greenhouse affect destroyed everything organic
[06:01.54]The species left their impact with radioactive craters
[06:03.81]The cities lie flat on this nuclear future
[06:08.23]Phase ten complete on the Venus project
[06:10.72]Scorched rocks and molten lead will be the fate of man
[06:15.17]Fear echoes strongly in this nuclear wasteland
