Children of the Great Extinction cover
01. The Dead World
Album: Children of the Great Extinction
Artist: Becoming The Archetype
 

This world was dead from the start
When the ancients first found this planet
It was nothing but a wasteland
A roiling sea
Chaos and entropy
Uninhabited
Uninhabitable

No sign of life
A million miles away from home
No light to guide
Transplanting the seeds of hope

They moved the mountains into place
Terraformed the surface to their will
They sculpted oceans out of desert space
Flawless design in each detail

A formless void
A toxic tempest
A new beginning
Within their hands

They carved the rivers out of dust
Transplanted forests where they stand
Broke up the fallow planet’s crust
Injected life into the land

No way to see it then
No way to predict
Hidden beneath the skin
The host could not detect

There is a curse upon the water
And now it lives within us all
It is a blight that will devour
It will devour us it will devour us all
Lost forever
Lost inside our own flesh
