|
They manufactured their fate |
|
Machines still echo in these stark landscapes |
|
Hallucinations of grandeur led them to boast |
|
The distracted culture let the industries clench at their throats |
|
They were choking in their billowy haste |
|
Rising stacks spewed out toxic waste |
|
Lethal injections left a toxic trace |
|
The drugged atmosphere was a heavy embrace |
|
Corrosive gases thickened the atmosphere |
|
They moved through the unknown with their backs toward the mirror |
|
The past comes to life on the Earth sect |
|
Second in line as the Venus Project |
|
War was the priority for their future |
|
It overrode the threat of the fast rising temperature point of no return as they blistered and peeled |
|
It didn't matter though because their fate had been sealed |
|
Trapped inside an envelope of nuclear overkill |
|
They ensured all life to be born still |
|
The earth was pressure cooked as the water fled |
|
The land was filled with the dust from the dead |
|
Small jobs for big egos who let greed corrupt their lives |
|
They knew their future was coming, but illusions diverted their eyes |
|
Global dissonance, a scalding air of silence |
|
Geographic reverberations of apathetic violence |
|
Reminders of their greatness stand grim and barren |
|
alone and useless over vast expanses |
|
The entirety of their race was brainwashed by scare tactics |
|
Unable to see any truth under a veil of distraction |
|
FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR |
|
Kill them before they kill you |
|
The result of that mentality led to... |
|
Lifeless scenes emerge between the clouds of acidic mist |
|
Metalloid structures crowd this puke colored abyss |
|
The past is the only thing living on the planet |
|
A runaway greenhouse affect destroyed everything organic |
|
The species left their impact with radioactive craters |
|
The cities lie flat on this nuclear future |
|
Phase ten complete on the Venus Project |
|
Scorched rocks and molten lead will be the fate of man |
|
Fear echoes strongly in this nuclear wasteland |
