Protocide 02:26
We commit protocide when we rob the future of its life We have advanced too recklessly They’ll pay our debts, coughing out their hearts To them, the sweetest nectar will taste like ash. This is protocide Rob the future of its life This is protocide The government deserves to die. FUCK the racist police Drain us of our will to resist So that we must accept this Theft of life disguised as a nation Millions of lives severed through capital legislation. Corporations When did they become our gods Convert us to a resource Unending growth is impossible to sustain. Sooner rather than later you’ll see This collapse threatens us all with its magnitude Poisoned oceans acid rain forced upon those yet to be. This is FUCKED! Overcome Capital End the reign Before the window closes. Do you want extinction? We’re on the brink of oblivion. This is protocide Rob the future of its life This is protocide Band together, organize

Brought back Seek a new home Fear of the end What will we endure? Pay what cost to make this take root? Hostile eternity Freezing entropy Home was a burning crypt Choking all possibility. Dark, null awe The lights of heaven decay Risk will dictate my way Is death truly astray? Tether to each other We bolster ourselves In the darkness we cling to the threads Cling to the threads. Brought back Come light seek a new home We move as one What will we endure? Pay what cost to make this take root? By light of the stars Life must be alive In spite of all I swear, this shall take root. Burdened in time, Carrying The last of life, In decay Faced with this role, Maddening I must succumb, To the weight Creche Birth, Black and blood Insides, Now as one With the black, With the end Only, vacuum. Somehow I’ve found a space to grieve After this time now I can weep Though all will be the same I only can live for this change I must succumb to the weight. If it’s not this time The face it with still inside My solace is black as the endless night Finally embraces me. Hallowed by another sun We bear the will of the Earth And our mistakes are engraved in us. By light of the stars Life must be alive In spite of all, This shall take root.

I am the fracture Shattering from the inside out Sightless, Summoned, Brought to form by a hopeless prayer Memory rejects me Writhing through the dreams of thoughtless doomed travellers On your souls I cast shade Even the faithful can’t be spared Fate has failed I remain Dissolve your heart Offer it to me Imprisoned in time I am at once beneath the workings of ants and the borders of light Imprisoned in time I drown in seas of glass Faceted teeth Lavender stare Pain Sipping your thoughts Preying on the words You still tell yourself Late in the night Don’t you dare dream of My glistening form Fate has failed I bow to my throne My eyes are dripping wine Bathe in moon tonight Sever from body Reform in shadow Always fear my second godhood My second reign Clawing at the fabric of reality Tearing my way out so desperately Pulling myself tightly into strange threads Drinking in the knowledge I have bled I am the fracture Reverberating behind your eyes Silent, secret Fate shall fail once more I remain restored

Hurry This way Our district collapsing But so it is The Earth, once home to the sea and trees, Unrecognizable blackened death heap Fear of the end drove us this far Our home ignited, abandoned to the stars You can’t say what was yours to waste Desperate for water through the heartache We stay here for now but it’s our grave The war lost, we will dehydrate. Migrate to the rainfall in the outskirts Once there the end foreseen in debris falls slowly toward what’s left of the Earth... Why did we make it to the end? Now it’s over No glimpse No sliver Of what a life could have been. Fuck this ending We’ll die, not in ice, but in war Steal back the breath from those who saw our future torn Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em we choose to fight None will say our last days weren’t bright We spark up, burn it all today The distant meteors scream down toward what's left of cities This life was hell, a hell they’ll taste One for the road, our wrath will not waste. From below, No Don’t let go Why? It’s just me... Let the rain come End us, and wipe the slate clean Our species, entropy incarnate The last of us witness the display What’s left of our progress, in the moment of its decay This is what happens when evil wins Too soon, the window of life closes again.

Strange, slowing to a speed at which we can speak A look toward your future in impending There is an end to every cycle I know, as I am the Earth. Heartbreak, for those who saw beauty And for, those who did not. Heartbreak You’re part of myself And your end foreshadows my own Life like that So rare So rare... Burn away Fade away Time marches on in cycles and cycles and cycles Return to the molten terrestrial (Paradise, death) Reform myself on a scale you cannot comprehend The sun will consume us both. Rock remains Life is no more. Near the end, memory conjures fatal flame... you are blessed to die by flame Feel the warmth and know your place You and I die by fire To perish in silence without dirge is the will of the Earth.
