lyrics

A place that you call home.
Desperately clinging to hope,
but you have waited too long.

Lifeblood I've provided for aeons, taken for granted.
food, water, medicine, shelter.. Vitality to keep on living.
An epoch of rapid transformation, millennia in the making.

I choose what lives or dies, what evolves.. what survives.
I breathe the essence of life.
I spew inconceivable devastation.

Eradication of what plagues the surface, to start over new.
A singular age of mass extinction.

A place that you call home.
Desperately clinging to hope,
but you have waited too long.

A place that you call home.
Desperately clinging to hope,
Longing for reformation,
but you have waited too long.
