about

Mother Nature is, and has always been, a force far too powerful for any living species. Humans however, believe we can control it, warp it to do our bidding, and simply withstand anything she throws at us.

Whether or not you believe climate change exists, or is caused by humans, it is clear that we are polluting the planet and destroying ecosystems for development, production and manufacturing to serve our selfish desires.

However, we have the power to alter our course.

Once you have listened to this song, we'd love to hear from you about something YOU are doing to reduce your negative impact on the environment.

In 2020, Wally has drastically changed his diet to consume animal products in only a few meals per week. Maybe you didn't know, but animal agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to climate change!

lyrics

A storm rolls in on the horizon
The clouds are brewing black as night
Thunder roars, the lightning cracks across the sky
USHER FORTH THE END

The beast of time has been awoken, unleashed
The rising force of equilibrium
The scales are tipped now we must pay the ultimate price
NO ESCAPING YOUR FATE

We think we're safe in the great eye's unblinking gaze
She wants us gone, we've overstayed our time
It watches on waiting to strike at any moment
OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED

I see the rising of disease and allergies
Super viruses are not coincidence
Biological warfare we're getting weaker
IT’S NATURE'S SIGN

You have been selected
There’s a target on your back
For carelessness and apathy
Humanity has met its match

THE PERFECT STORM BEGINS THE END
Our future is looking grim
We're in a war
Humanity can never win
BATTLING A FORCE that cares NOT FOR OUR CAUSE
Human existence in the bin
Take one last look at the light as darkness comes

For every action we’ll be held accounted
A hundred years of abuse will be avenged
Judgement is ours to bear for all that we have done
BRING DOWN THE HAMMER

Cities that once stood tall and proud levelled in seconds
An entire race brought to its knees before the beast
Its monstrous form will devastate us all with vengeance
WE'RE OUT FOR THE COUNT

Justice will bring the end
A powerful enemy we’ve made
With greatest ease it devours
And turns the human race to waste

THE PERFECT STORM BEGINS THE END
Our future is looking grim
We're in a war
Humanity can never win
BATTLING A FORCE that cares NOT FOR OUR CAUSE
Human existence in the bin
Take one last look at the light

DARKNESS…RISES
DARKNESS…ENGULFS

Who are you to choose my fate?
Carelessly watch as we degenerate
Whether by storm, flood or FIRE, or our own DESIRES
Time will tell how we terminate

So can tell me what do you know?
Destroying everything you think you own
The decimation of TRUST, pillaged, plundered and BUST
Now we wait for the final ...blow

As you suffocate, on your self-served hate
You realise it’s too late you’ve lost it all
Asphyxiated on greed, confusing what you want and need
You’ll see the human empire fall

The seas swell will blood
The lands left barren
The skies turn black
The earth is poisoned
Arrogance and apathy
Ticking like a time bomb
Ready to explode
An ever-mediating force it will always find a way
