All hands on deck A storm's a-comin' All hands on deck A storm's a-comin' More frequent than ever before The wind blows the trees out from the Earth The rain clouds keep fallin' Except when you need it the most The tides keep rising Swallowing cities whole The sun keeps shining Rather burn than utilize All hands on deck A storm's a-comin' All hands on deck A storm's a-comin' More frequent than ever before There is no place to run No where to hide Nothing we can do Except stop fucking the Earth Stop polluting Stop destroying Stop with the arrogance Stop with the entitlement Stop destroying our home

The eagle consumes at will The apex predator The beaver fells and dams Ignorant of the flood Ignorance that leads to Confused patriot Staring dumbfoundedly In chains on scorched earth Slash and burn Industry Slash and burn Can't believe Face the fact that evil Has taken over Everything we love They've taken over The eagle patrols above The beaver dams below Violence is used to maintain Brutal strict control Of petty resources Confused Patriot Staring dumbfoundedly In chains on scorched earth Slash and burn Patriot excuse Slash and burn Look past the flag Face the fact that evil Has taken over Taken over They've taken over I can see the forest for the trees There's no fucking forest without trees Our trail marches steep and to the right The empires forest burns and bleeds I can see the forest for the tress There's no fucking forest without trees The fascist forest only feeds the leaves The empires forest burns and bleeds Slash and Burn Depleted Slash and Burn Everything Face the fact that evil Has taken over Everything you see Is taken over

Bad news Things are getting worse History repeats itself Unless we make a change We can do better than this We must do better than this Uprising to the Occasion Uprising to the Occasion Uprising to the Occasion Deny their scorched Earth doctrine Deny their system of lies Guess What Things are even worse Than we are led to believe Most folks been trained to ignore That we can do better than this We can do better Rise up and disarm the corporate sponsored armies Rise up and shut down the propaganda machine A shadow society of puppeteers Armed with the media and all the soldiers Uprising to the Occasion Uprising to the Occasion Uprising to the Occasion Rise up and disarm the corporate sponsored armies Rise up and shut down the propaganda machine Insatiable greed of the global elite That spit in the face of all life on planet Earth Uprising to the Occasion Uprising to the Occasion Deny their scorched Earth doctrine Deny their system of lies

Terraform 04:50
Terraform The moment when we become What we once called god Terraform Germinating Earths We can leave a wake of life Terraform Existences left long after Our extinction Folklore Turned out to be A prophecy Not our history Religion Had it backwards We create We are the man in the sky Terraform The moment when we become What we once called god It's quite possible that this is The meaning of life Ascendance to the next level Of existence Terraform Bestow evolution What will they imagine to explain Who created their Earth Folklore Turned out to be A prophecy Not our history Religion Had it backwards We create We are the man in the sky

Remember when you voted for Never ending war Remember when you voted for Fossil Czar I never voted for Military Police We never voted for Kings and queens Spectacle of democracy Attritionary form of conquistadors Nothing has changed in a thousand years including the bliss of ignorance Remember when you voted for Never ending war Remember when you voted for Fossil Czar I never voted for Military Police We never voted for Kings and queens Debacle state of affairs Military industrial complex Has perfected the ultimate weapon in Apathy Remember when you voted for Never ending war Remember when you voted for Fossil Czar I never voted for Military Police We never voted for Kings and queens Remember when voting worked complete farce Remember when voting worked Corrupt core It has never fucking worked Democracy Corporate liege has you On your knees

A proxy does not justify The petty wars of our century A cleverly designed excuse Never ending war Morals code is dead and gone Obsolete by the paradox Of peace and war mutually assured Stop all the fuckin' fighting They will say we destroyed Ourselves Not by perceived ideals The consequence Dictates circumstances Uncontrollable The will say it turned out To be mercy disguised An age required for Mutual peaceful respect How could the darkest light Provide this reward Morals of old are dead and gone Burnt to a crisp, hypocrisy Of peace and war mutually assured We know you're fuckin' lying Microcosm morality A shadow of what used to be The irony of peace and war Stop all the fuckin' fighting They tell us we need to Destroy fellow humans No way to resolve our Slightly different view System where pettiness Trumps all forms of reason The needs of the very few Supersede everything else
