Pale Blue Dot
01:05
|
|||
Polarized
Humanity divided
Immunized
To objectivity
Uncivilized
Can't see the other side
Paralyzed
Solutions out of reach
A wise primate bending nature's will
Short sighted
Time is running out
A fragile marble floating in the vastness of space
The only home we've ever known
Fighting with each other, consolidating power
No one will save us from ourselves
|

Anthropocene
01:35
|
|||
Oceans rising, sky on fire
Forests burning, mass extinction
Seas of plastic, oil addiction
Smothering death, suffocation
Glacier melt, rains dry up
Ecosystem, global collapse
Choke the air, poison the earth
Coastal flood, war for food
Who's to blame for killing the earth
Who can fix what's done
Pointing fingers, deny existence
Time is running out
Leave it
For the next generation
Blame it
On somebody else
Leave it
For the next generation
Fuck it
As long as i'm dead

Fear Keeps Me Trying
01:14
|
|||
Can't look the other way
I try to do my part
I'm counting down the hours
I worry for the future
But you don't seem to care
You mock the ones who try
Don't seem to realize
You're stuck on this sinking ship
I'm afraid and enraged
I can't understand
Why you persist in ignorance
In the face of the evidence
I never claimed to be perfect
Hypocritical, short-sighted, as much anyone else
My fear keeps me trying
To do the best I can for future generations

Disciple
01:27
|
|||
Born in the right, time and place
For your version of God to be true
How lucky for you, how sad for the millions
Kept from the light of the truth
Shoving it down, everyone's throats
Convinced they're all going to hell
Hundreds of wars over thousands of years
How many in god's name have died
Cultural genocide, in the name of preaching the truth
A heavy cross to bear, the lost are relying on you
Go, into the world
Convert them all to your cause
There are no other gods,
No religion is true but your own
Kill, the infidel
Destroy his heathen beliefs
There are no other gods,
No holy book is true but your own
|
||||
5. |
Monotheist
01:38
|
|||
There is no God but Allah, Muhammed is his prophet
I believe in God the Father, and Christ his only son
Hear Israel, the Lord is one
Confessions of belief of the Abrahamic faiths
Born in the Arab world
Sharing many traits
Monotheistic heritage
The Old Testament
Perpetually in conflict
A history of war
Confirmation bias
Scholarly attacks
Exclude and discriminate
Over what you believe
Base your life on what the
Ancients thought was true
Premodern philosophy
Racist history
A god with a taste
For loyalty and blood
|
||||
6. |
Xenophobia
01:35
|
|||
Pitiful to think human beings could be so unkind
Turning refugees from your border
Cause they're brown-skinned
Cast suspicion on a man with a turban
Discriminate on the basis of religion
My people first is the cry of separatist
Come out from their midst be set apart
Race, language, color of skin, different heritage
So many reasons to feel superior.
Pride ourselves on tolerance, and progress
Deep inside we're full of hatred and fear
Xenophobia
In a global community
Xenophobia
The fear of the unknown
|

Internment
00:43
|
|||
World War I
9,000 men
Enemy nationality
Forced into slavery
A dark page of history
A seldom read chapter
World War II
German-, Italian-
Japanese Canadians
"Legal custody"
Jewish refugees
Transported with Germans
Mixed with fascists,
Housed with Nazis
Relocation
Compulsory exile
Lingering prejudice
Confiscate property
|
||||
8. |
Colonialist
01:05
|
|||
Exploration, appropriation, domination
Humiliation, acculturation, assimilation
The captain discovers new land
Declares that it is his
Extends his hand to shake,
The hand of those he'll kill
Some die by the sword,
Others by the gun
Thousands from disease
Some will be our slaves
Convert survivors, steal their land
For this you'll be met with reward
Claim it all for God and crown
Another culture meets its doom
|
||||
9. |
Myopic
01:32
|
|||
Endless economic expansion
Gross domestic product must increase
Rape the natural order if you must
As long as you can get another term
Can't you see past your own fucking face?
Think about the future of our race
Selling out your children for some power
How will you feel when it's our last hour?
|

Self-Immolation
01:20
|
|||
Living on junk time
Staring at a wall for 13 hours
Waiting for the next hit
A ghost of a man, a walking corpse
Wife and family
Job and home, collateral damage
Nothing else matters now
Terminal disease, a singular focus
Spending all your money
Consuming all your time
Killing all that's good
Searching for that high
Needle hits the vein
Smoke into the lungs
You love it more than life
It's all that you have left
Slow suicide
Self immolation
More dead than alive
Trapped in hell
|

Sapiens
01:21
|
|||
200,000 years
Began the trek of modern man
Out of Africa
Driven out by megadroughts
Cross the Red Sea
Into Eurasian territory
Seeking new lands
To dominate and subjugate
A primate with a brain
Capable of self reflection
Efficient in the hunt
Adaptable in cold or heat
Using these things
To slaughter and to drive extinct
All competitors
His destiny to be the only
Wise man
Interbreeding, superceding, cohabitating
Wise man
Competing for resources, spreading diseases
Wise man
A pattern of extinction, follows your movement
Wise man
Killing other species, killing himself
|

Ro-man, Extension XJ-2
Stalking the Earth, to exterminate the last ones
Eight last souls, hoping to save their lives
Monsters from the moon, mass genocide
Great Guidance tell me
What it is I should do
I must but I cannot
How do you calculate that?
Immune from the death ray
He'll kill them one by one
Strength beyond all strength
A simple matter of strangulation
