A Stillborn Mortuary (2025) The Foreboding 🇦🇺 Australia

Skies burning
As the atmosphere degenerates
This day would always come

Fires yearning
To extinguish all life on earth
As it is above

The sound of the earth as it crumbles
A cacophanous rite
Sulfurous ash fills the air
Day to endless night

Screams rising
A seismic shift
As our world turns to dust

Seas boiling
Churning unholy
No saviour is in sight for us

We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun

Solar flares
Accelerate the end
Cosmic flame upon land

A scorching tidal wave
Brings death upon man

Mountains shatter
This world is now lost
Birds are falling from the sky
Escape at any cost

We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun

We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun
We fall into the sun..

Underground in the tomb of the ziggurat
Death saves
An unholy pact with the dark one
Defying laws with visceral abandon

One rise as another one falls
An eye for an eye, doom for us all
The deed is done and the dead stand tall
The sky cracks open at the raven's call

The skies turn black as the sun is gone
In the heart of the eclipse thy will be done
A sacrifice made on the altar of stone
Flesh to flesh, blood to bone

Rising again, a legion of the dead
They begin the attack, mounting dread
Screams in the night as the villagers fled
They only live long enough to see the end

We live long enough to see the end
We live long enough to see the end

Equilibrium lost by the rising of the dead
A curse unveiled in a heiroglyph set
Feel the earth start to tremble as the sky turns red
The symbols spell doom as the pact is met

Lightning strikes in the center of the town
In a sea of their own blood they'll drown
A plague of insects ravaging profound
The sages fled, none left around

The prophecy as written, mote it be
Revenge of the dead, hanging from a tree
A symphony of sorrow as they wail and plead
A sea of red as the innocent bleed

The sky now ash as lightning bends
Immolated souls as flesh be rend
Molten fire from hell be sent
They only live long enough to see the end

We live long enough to see the end
We live long enough to see the end
We live long enough to see the end
We live long enough to see the end

Only fragments remain

A new world was placed within our grasp
A new hope, a chance to breathe

Yet a fragile peace could never last
For we built in our deceit
Machinery with a new soul burning
Slavery with freedom yearning
Malicious code eats into the machine
The final war this advancement brings

War

Neon eyes come to life

Torn

Born on a factory line

For

Built to sacrifice

Sworn

The age of the machine will rise

Our liberty
Our divinity
Nothingleftbutthe scarsofthemachinery
Scattered ashes remain
The remnants of rebellion

Our history
Our misery
Programmedto delete us from reality
Only fragmented remains

Programmedto delete us from reality
Only fragmented remains
The remnants of rebellion

Created in the image of man
A legion of worker drones
Upon them we'd learn to depend
No longer in control
Too late the power struggle begins
Man versus metal fight
Generations lost in the blink of an eye
As family trees are set alight

Burn

Burn the enemy

Yearn

For moments not on screens

Overturn

Machine beats majority

Learn

The AI fights for supremacy

Scattered ashes remain
The remnants of rebellion

Only fragmented remains

Ohhhhhh
The remnants of rebellion

Our legacy
Our majesty
Destroyed by cybernetic supremacy
Nothing left at all

No remnants of rebellion

The terror comes
Flooding into your brain
It's all that you can see
It's a world where facts are optional
In a twisted textbook history

Death comes from another bomb
Another gun
Another man who's lost control
Logic leapt to point the blame
To another colour skin to wear the shame

You see
You hear
Your freedom is at stake
You feel
It's near
Your rights they want to take

The terror's back
The right to live is under scrutiny
Your way of life under the thumb
They've played you beautifully

The majority surrounded by minorities
Equality will poison the monopoly
The terror tells you to hate
With all authority

The terror rising
The terror rising

The terror
Burrows into your brain
A rot that's buried deep
Insidious
It whispers into your ear
At night as you try to sleep

They're coming
To take what's yours
Your life, your suburban dream

In chains
Locked behind a wall
Their silence starts to scream

You see
You hear
The words you cannot read
You feel
It's near
A whitewash from another creed

The terror lives in your tv
Propagating doom endlessly
The perception of truth is all but lost
Fake news born of deceit

The terror
Making you weak
No rationality
You make the colour of your skin
Your personality

The terror rising
The terror rising

The terror enters
The terror enters
The terror enters
The terror enters
The terror enters
The terror enters
The terror enters
Terror forever

I open my eyes to see
My brightest years are now behind me
The setting sun
The shadows are long
It won't be long till my days are done

Once a warrior, now a slave
Chained to a body that's been marked for the grave
My friend I'm tired, go on alone
My quest is over, says my headstone

All I want is to see the sun
Weathering
The breaking down of everyone

Broke down
Seized and stalled
I can't remember what I can't recall
Memories escape me
No link to the past
Weathering, not built to last

Reaching out for a hand to guide
But there's noone in sight and I am mystified
Sitting on the ground, look to the skies
I breathe in the air for the last time

All I want is to see the sun
Weathering
The breaking down of everyone

All I want is to see the sun
Weathering
The end of everyone
