1. |
Extirpated
02:16
|
|||
|
driven to extinction / leaving no traces
silently disappearing where endemism is high
unique life-forms cloistered in certain places
unknown species wiped out before their discovery
exceptionally vulnerable / habitats destroyed
they disappear unrecorded / species extirpated
|
||||
2. |
Sidelined
01:29
|
|||
|
human-driven mass extinction
species and subspecies disappearing
huge declines in population
biological abundance right at the abyss
they are driving the steep decline of life's richness
demolition of life's variety, complexity and plenitude
unrecognized / ignored / sidelined
|
||||
3. |
Shifting Perspectives
01:49
|
|||
|
the rising global middle class
devouring vast amounts of living and nonliving matter
accelerating way too fast
spewing out vast amounts of waste
lowering consumption is a must
to preserve the richness of mother nature
reducing the human race / shifting perspectives
escaping the tyranny / embracing education
the last opportunity to turn the tide
mankind has served it’s time
|
||||
4. |
If They Are To Survive
01:22
|
|||
|
by educating the masses
dynamics can fully unfold
embracing freedom for all beings
cultivating and preserving the conditions
to achieve their fullest potentials
humanity must retreat
protect the biomes
population gets decreased
shielded with militant vigilance
strict laws and real enforcement
if they are to survive
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
no restraint by living out the supremacy
hierarchy between man and nature
permitting the onslaught on the ecosystem
a worldview hard to ignore
deeply rooted inside
as if the whole world is dyed in it
unmasking the tyranny
once exposed it has nowhere to hide
once one sees it there is nowhere it can’t be seen
|
||||
6. |
Not Innate...
00:33
|
|||
7. |
...But Taught
01:23
|
|||
|
anthropocentrism shaping the human identity
above all life forms and at liberty to use them
not innate but taught
the ingrained conviction
is blocking an alternative way of being from emerging
stuck in their minds by lifelong conditioning
mother nature is territorially carved among nations
earth is the background upon which history unfolds
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
fundamental freedoms taken away
traversing oceanic and continental distances
the decline accelerates
human freedoms efface the freedoms of nonhumans
endangering their abundances and ways of life
habitat converted into agriculture
countless obstacles blocking migration routes
catching them at their most vulnerable moment
animal migration facing eradication
|
||||
9. |
Despair
01:43
|
|||
|
exposing the current world view
a shattered world confronting us
shattering global presence
human greatness comes with allowing
the biosphere's magnificence to be what it is
human-driven impacts are clearly irreversible
devouring all hope
species extinctions, climate-disruption, global contamination
nothings left but despair
devouring all hope
|
||||
10. |
Delusions
01:46
|
|||
|
delusion of supremacy
pathetic dominance
able to end the agony
driven by their arrogance
|
||||
11. |
Nature's Self Creation
00:59
|
|||
|
nothing remains unaffected
shaping the natural world for millennia
does it still exist?
did it even exist?
does it still exist?
did it even exist?
is wilderness just a pipe dream?
facing the final loss
with passionate and aspiring violence
it is up to us
come to terms with it
or defend nature’s self creation
|
||||
12. |
A World In Distress
01:25
|
|||
|
conditions changing in fast forward
movement severely hampered
weak species are cornered
earth’s synergy getting tampered
adapt, move or perish
creatures experience habitat loss
adapt, move, extinct
erased by human kind
wiped out by climate change
chaos unfolds
a world in distress
chaos unfolds
they succumb to their fate
chaos unfolds
|
||||
13. |
Forever Forgotten
01:07
|
|||
|
colossal public ignorance
surrounding biodiversity’s unraveling
colossal public ignorance
afflicted by life’s destruction
forever forgotten
earth’s intrinsic being
turned into their ecumene
the human dominated world
|
||||
14. |
Holocene Extinction
02:27
|
|||
|
from biosphere to homosphere
diminishing the living world
sucking in the resources
at the cost of the rest of life on planet earth
the ignorance about the diversity of life deepens
it’s coming closer
the sixth extinction coming closer
scaling down the human presence
scaling down
sleepwalking the way into the night of mass extinction
walls are closing in / all life eradicated
pulling back from the natural world
this is the sixth extinction
no trace of life left

To me this duo powerfully express what black metal is all about: icy spite reserved for those who deserve it, carefully built atmospheres, and a raging rawness to the vocal delivery and drums. All three of their albums so far, though brief, pack a solid emotional punch and have an introspective dimension I deeply appreciate. Highly recommended.
