Innocence dies in a system where human supremacy stains everything. Exploitation and destruction, rape and suffering just for the profit. Gaia's Revenge. Money prevails over empathy man lives with two fucking demons: an inner one, the sense of emptiness an outer one, capitalism. Gaia is preparing for revenge 'cause it cannot stand pain and abuse anymore. The wind, the sea, the sky, the life The wind and the sea, the sky and the life, a new life. It will all return to its primordial state.

W.A.A.R. 03:46
When Ashes are Rising. I used to watch you walk among the trees while they offered you their fruits and now I see you abuse each other in this system you created. You live on materialism the true richness of the soul you forget you erected physical and mental cages in a world with no borders has this eternal misery killed your compassion? I think it's time to begin again without you my son from your capitalistic civilization death arises. From the ashes of your system new life is born. Forgive me my son, the day has come. When Ashes are Rising.

The day will come, the fog will suffocate and turn us into fucking ash from which the Earth will rise finding its balance again while we are forever dust. We were born as precious children of Earth. We are diamonds. Diamonds with no eternity. We are greedy children and our never ending hunger will consume us. We won't cherish the beauty of the sky. We were born as precious children of Earth we are diamonds. We are diamonds under the sky until it crashes down on us and that day is nigh.

Extinction 04:16
The system collapses on itself after centuries of human instability man had everything he needed but selfishness swept away everything. After the extinction, in the name of progression. The scream, the suffering of the Earth the pain, the suffering of the Earth what you call extinction I call a new beginning The end of human being is not the end of the Earth that withstands the fall of man to start again I don't care I am not part of it We had our chance but we were greedy. After the extinction, in the name of progression. New wind, new sea, new sky, new life.

The Earth after tomorrow. The sky is worn after falling down crushing everything with his weight seeking revenge after centuries of hatred, centuries of hatred. Oceans reflect the color of the sky they speak of emptiness and nowhere there's life. The lands are bare, the rain hurts the lands they tolerate that pain Exhausted by the human exploitation from which now they're finally free. Animals still breathe with blood in their eyes and trees die, collapsing on themselves uprooted from the ground, from the fucking ground.

Our sacrifice was inevitable but filling the void of a loss is hard for she lost her children and is left alone to cry. They raped her, robbed her she fed them anyway to sustain their reigns. They raped her, robbed her she fed them anyway, life will find a way. A deafeaning silence all over the earth deprived of her diamonds 'till skies were stormy and oceans empty empty like we the diamonds used to be. Now she lays down on our ashes looking for light through the ruins, the ruins. When everything seems lost she sees a flower her purest child, the new life. Start again from the ashes that will rise and Earth will too.
