lyrics

Our machines, they dig into the dirt and break the soul. Culling the life and destroying everything pure and whole.

Rapists, pillagers, remove your hooks from my skin. Tar, concrete, you clog my once secluded veins. I hope you never find peace knowing the ruin you breathe. Overburden. Death is the hellscape you create.

Snap the limbs and tear the flesh. Rip. Burn. Leave nothing left to forage. I want savagery, I want death. This is our design.

Here we lay, this depth of shame mankind will never know. Here we lay, in the grave we dug ourselves. Here we lay, in our grave that grace could never find.

Our machines feel nothing, soulless and cold, ripping and tearing. A warrior cry, the shadow of the beast. The sanctuaries will rot. The creature needs its meat. We are the burden, watch the ancients fall. We are the burden.

Her eyes then open and in them I see all the beauty and violence in the world. Happiness from the suffering of others. As we shed this mortal coil, all that's left is a lust for more space, more blood, more war. No more.
