Atomic cloud draping the horizon and launching the Earth's mantle miles from impact.
The great civilizations now lie in ruins as shadows are burned into the ground
Those who survived now face harsh winds
The weak die slow, their corpses bake in the sun
Forgotten through time, buried by sand
The shallow ground becomes their new tomb
A hundred years past, civil law dismantled
Those who seek control face the end of a spear
A thousand years past, the future is no more
Earth left to rot, to die in peaceful slumber
You die alone in the crimson wastes
A hatchet detached your spinal cord
Your social contract with nature, expired.
*Demon Noises* <-------- 666
War dismantles the state
War disfigures it's arms
Crushing their fingertips
With the hammer of the gods
A new beginning, a new life
For better or for worse, we are free
