I bear witness to humanity's suicide We've proven ourselves nothing-- nothing more than parasites desperation, powerless to stop the spreading death writhing as I clench my neck to take my final breath THE WORLD WILL LIVE ON ONCE HUMANITY IS GONE OUR FATE HAS BEEN CAST HOW LONG WILL WE LAST THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN TO YOUR DEMISE Wandering sons and daughters Abandoned by their fathers Murdering our mother we poison the waters Raze down the forests, blight and scorch the lands Behold this lonely planet despoiled by mankind's hand THE WORLD WILL LIVE ON ONCE HUMANITY IS GONE OUR FATE HAS BEEN CAST HOW LONG WILL WE LAST THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN TO YOUR DEMISE Now we're all condemned to die I Always knew the reason why Some of us struggled to make a stand The lot of us doomed by the hubris of man Watching as the sands of time Bury deep our wretched lives Can it be said that we never deserved This lofty realm we call the Earth

about

"...This is a really nice minor key, melodic piece of fast fucking rock. There is a hellish, frantic quality to the whole thing. The lyrics are desperate and operatic. The drums, bass and guitar rip and tear through. ...[at the end] the EP brings back the beginning motifs. It's a great construction."
