about

Whether you believe there is an almighty creator or not, we as a western culture do not pursue a life of happiness and advancement that we were put here to achieve.

If there is a God watching what we are doing to each other and this place he created, he would be shaking his head with disappointment. Scrapping his creation and starting again would seem easier than trying to fix this mess.

In life, we often become so attached to something that is bad for us – a friend, a relationship, a goal, a job, a habit ect. We become so close minded in our comfortable life and realise way too late that it is eating away at us, rather than fulfilling us and helping us to become happier. Destroying everything is not the answer, we need to identify and release the negative attributes to plant new seeds for what will be a greater beginning.

lyrics

As I look down to see these beings dispersed
Can’t help but think of all the time I’ve immersed
Into a plague, upon this land
Your extinction is near, die by my hand

My heart is full of sadness
I can no longer stand this madness
And now to destroy my passion
My creation, my pride!

Arggghhhh!
Burning buildings, twisted metal, gas fumes fill the air
There's no choice, in your demise the concept of extinction isn't rare
Your rise will bring your fall; these eyes have seen it all
Rage, cheating, anger and disposition, they don't shock me any more

Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE

Chasing destiny
You’re blinded by greed
No choice but to destroy this disease

These hands, they've built empires then crushed them where they stand
Where once stood exuberant palaces lays nothing but shifting sands
I am the leader, destroyer and conqueror; none shall live, you all shall know
The plans of your destruction; the grandest of my obstructions

Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE

Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE

Regression: Back to a time of suppression
Aggression: Now is the time to fight
Obsession: A constant quest for possession
Digression: The world has gone awry
And now you all must die!

Encaged is the mind, break out or die; confined within insanity
A broken mirror reflection blurred. Is it them or is it me?
A walled in city but who's protecting who? None are free 'til all are free
A flattened planet, none shall survive. My last plea: awaken your mind!
