Lightning crashes Shattered sky Sounds of destruction Fading cries Born from the womb Torn from the cord Waiting in judgment Life is abhorred Silence Darkness Escape Try Begotten From mother Earth We die Tearing through forests of unknown lands Sacrificed all of our life Pursuit of true power born by your hands Surfacing pride with a knife False masters will beat you (merciless cry) Only your own perseverance (your god) They'll leave you bleeding (if you should cry) They'll torture you if you should fail Will you not stand against the suffering Will you just take what you recieve Begotten from earth, wind and fire Your purpose lies with the rotting Take back what belongs to us This life that is so meaningless Slaves to our own machines The only life (the color of our dreams) Forsaken and betrayed Mother now is dying (save) What we've done can't be reversed Forlorn, tortured mother earth I've gone blind to all we see Nothing more is left for me I cannot understand our ways Living now in darker days Wish to crawl back underneath Somewhere where the souls are reaped Clinging on to dying rock Have no pride – time has stopped What I feel is flesh and bone Cold steel now has overgrown Should return from whence I came Nature of life's cruel game Riddled with cold despair I ask who left truly cares? Lost without a name or cause Suffering every little loss This is nothing permanent Sheltered by our thoughts Walking aimlessly since birth Begotten by Mother Earth
