Song lyrics

Cracked mirrors scatter reflection
Beauty falls from her state of perfection

Good Grace has fled this dream
While the cat's away
The rats will ravage

Despotic, necrotic fingers
Have lingered with rape's affection

Hoods face this global scene
As they stoop to prey
Nature grows more savage

She shudders at our foetal, fatal touch
Heavenly her body reft and left amongst the dead
Once grateful seeds in her natal hutch
Our species breeds, deflowering the maidenhead

Religions caw epistles
Twisted laws extend their thistles

A crown to justify
Our place atop
This hellbound carriage

This judgment has come from on high
Deforesters pray to the amplified sky

Stripped of her gowns
Temples ripped down
Her curses hearse now

This judgment has come from on high
Look to her spears with true fear in your eyes

Summoning the coven
The Four Horsemen, Eschaton
She the sumptuous Earth
Deep scars were forced upon

Queen Catastrophia, seer
Renewal grew to see
Humanity in ruins
Sped to death on rotten knees

We freed the flames that came to haunt her
The greed that tore her elvish bodice
She was the storm that warmed to slaughter
Our selfish needs
Displeasuring the Goddess

Plastering disasters
Faster pandemics appear
Anthropocentric pockets
Last plagues are spreading near

Grand levelling with seven
Tongues acerbic, whore-astride
As the oceans swell in venom
At our slick black ecocide

This judgment has come from on high
Poisoners choke on the smoke-ridden sty

Forewarnings ignored
Faith in a Lord
Life's blessings uncared for

This judgment has come from on high
Suffer this kiss as she whispers goodbye

What have we done?
And what have we become?
In this distance from Our Mother
From the gates of late Eden

Blinded, undone
Glowering into the sun
A world of mass congestion
Smothered
In the waste of late Eden

And what of her?
Gaia, Cybele
Where is jewelled Ishtar
That shone forth like the stars?

Now maniacal, now maniacal
She moves against us all
To destroy, recreate anew
To dance amok amidst annihilation

Extinction greets foul creatures left
Deflowering the maidenhead
Displeasuring the Goddess...
