The Warning 03:34
I can't hide The world as we know it Is about to change You won't be prepared You cannot be saved Your final day is here The world will decay Our decisions have left us faced with the consequence Don't deny it, you knew the Truth which you chose to forget We exhaust our homes Only to fuel the masses Worthless empires Forced to clean up the ashes He has crowned me the whistleblower As I call in an era of change Although the damage has already been done Only the strong will be saved The world as we know it Is about to change You won't be prepared You cannot be saved Your final day is here The world as we know it Is about to change You won't be prepared You cannot be saved Your final day is here Eclipsed by what we call 'Strength in numbers' We have left ourselves fragile And at the brink of extinction The ground is heating up As if it's trying to speak 'I will cure myself, for you have left me weak' It's like a virus, and it's taking it's aim We are the targets And we've got no one to blame Disease will restore the foundation And form a new world Extinction will be our salvation This was a final warning A disease that we can not cure The world as we know it Is about to change You won't be prepared You cannot be saved Your final day is here The world as we know it Is about to change You won't be prepared You cannot be saved Your final day is here

The air fills with the sound of distress We will have to pay for our deeds As this disease spreads The first ones hit the ground It will be just a matter of time The sirens warn us to stay inside But this plague will infect us There'll be nowhere to hide How can we not try to fight this While it's taking our lives While the population drops A select few will survive Give us all you got It's what we deserve We do not stand a chance While we're coughing up blood And our lungs give out We try to make amends As this disease spreads The first ones hit the ground It will be just a matter of time The sirens warn us to stay inside But this plague will infect us There'll be nowhere to hide How can we not try to fight this While it's taking our lives While the population drops A select few will survive In your final moments While you are down on your knees You hear the earth Spreak through the dirt "I will be whole again Please close your eyes You are part of a greater cause" As this disease spreads The first ones hit the ground It will be just a matter of time The sirens warn us to stay inside But this plague will infect us There'll be nowhere to hide

I am broken from centuries of exhaustion You drain my energy without something in return Enough is enough, this is where I pull the plug You will suffer my wrath It's your own grave that you dug In order to survive, I will eradicate Those who pushed me to edge of my existince I smite them down with a plague to mankind With their numbers reduced I will end this neglection Strike them where it hurts I will return You have aimlessly wandered the surface You have brought me to the point of destruction I am the being of old I am the being of old I am broken from centuries of exhaustion You drain my energy without something in return Enough is enough, this is where I pull the plug You will suffer my wrath It's your own grave that you dug "Unashamed of the damage you have caused to yourselves Yet you continue to bring down the only thing that keeps you alive One day, when you will find yourself at the brink of extinction That is where you discover that you can not rely on the fact That your so-called 'God' will save you" I breathe life into this world And I sure as hell can take it too You are the fool who doesn't fear my wrath that I will unlease upon you Strike them where it hurts I will return You have aimlessly wandered the surface You have brought me to the point of destruction I am the being of old I am the being of old

What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying Breathing the same air everyday We somehow manage to survive this While the others are fading away Can we explain why some us die While the others roam the globe With nothing plagueing their mind How can we shake this sickness If we do not know where it's coming from We are left speechless Check the DNA for it might pave the way Into the solution of what is killing us all I fear that we all know what is happening by now We are defenseless For what is cleansing the surface What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying I feel it coarsing right through my own veins Striving for life while you spirit away Bodies are stacking up But they are paving the way Nowhere to hide This place marks your grave I fear that we all know what is happening by now We are defenseless For what is cleansing the surface What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What do we do Where do we go That's all you can ask What do we do now that everyone's dying What can I say The enemy is in our midst Just look at me What do you see Survivability Genetics say we lead the way To another day

Reform 03:14
In the final moments of this cleansing We can not deny the fact that we need to reform The bodies piled up to the sky We ask ourselves why have we let it get to this The great leaders, the corrupt ego-feeders Clinging on the hope of blind believers They are all gone now They are all gone now Everyone will see Survival is the key The last remaining few Will grow this place anew We can not expect you to initiate these men in a world of change All they have left is but new hope for a new beginning The great leaders, the corrupt ego-feeders Clinging on the hope of blind believers They are all gone now They are all gone now Everyone will see Survival is the key The last remaining few Will grow this place anew New world Heroes Future New hope Selfless Wake up Fearless Step up Leaders Preachers Loathing Dissolving In the final moments of this cleansing We can not deny the fact that we need to reform The bodies piled up to the sky We ask ourselves why have we let it get to this The bodies piled up to the sky We ask ourselves why have we let it get to this

Rebuild 03:54
With the end of the plague Comes forth responsibility The survivors carry the burden Of how to rebuild this world Our past made us realise That we have to adapt We have been exhausting Until there was nothing left Feel the surge of life coarsing through us It makes us see We have the power to rebuild this planet It will rise once more to what it was before We have paid the price for our actions It will all be clear and we will be set free Blinded by the power of existence We have polluted ourselves We have rid ourselves of our freedom We cried out in hope for some help We have the power to rebuild this planet It will rise once more to what it was before We have paid the price for our actions It will all be clear and we will be set free We have the power to rebuild this planet It will rise once more to what it was before We have paid the price for our actions It will all be clear and we will be set free Everyone that still breathes the air Will know the force that we're dealing with Time will tell what it means to us Will we forget or will we remember this We have the power to rebuild this planet It will rise once more to what it was before We have paid the price for our actions It will all be clear and we will be set free We have the power to rebuild this planet It will rise once more to what it was before We have paid the price for our actions It will all be clear and we will be set free Set free And it will all be clear and we will be set free

about

The EP contains 6 songs and tells a fictional story of an apocalyptic cleansing of the human race, by mother Earth herself. After the warning signals, swarming viruses and raging natural disasters terrorize the planet. A select group of humans will survive and are given a second chance. A second chance to reform their way of living and rebuild a more harmonious world. With each passing year this story comes frighteningly close to our reality...
