[Verse 1: Ben Duerr]
Blood in the sands of time
The ageless clock is counting down
The purveyors and crusaders bygone live on renowned
Some dare aspire to join the ranks of the gods
The certainty of your safety now drains with every hour
[Bridge: Ben Duerr]
Only the dead have seen the end of war
All sons of the many gods
The race of men, begotten end
[Verse 2: Ben Duerr]
Empires fall, years have progressed and are forsaken
The meek are cast down, the strongest garnering the gains
Sounds of war echo on in solemn spirit
The blind, the sick, the old, the young, even the demons hear it
And as time passes on, these situations
Remain a constant in the name of indemnification
The oozing black heart below the surface is calling outward
And those who dare listen shall be relentlessly pulled under
Worldwide crisis, divinity rehashed
The world you see that surrounds you was built from murder
The cycle of death continues and we push it further
[Verse 3: Ben Duerr]
Always mobilized
Eager to pulverize
Corrupt, destabilize
Autonomy strung up high
The whole are dead to rights
Nothing shall ever suffice
The age is prophesized
The suicide of our kind
[Bridge: Chuck Billy]
Rejecting signs as the grand clock unwinds
Oil pipelines pour spilled blood in the sands of time
We walk the earth and still the ground, it trembles
Transcending elements, from death we cannot hide
[Breakdown: Ben Duerr]
Suicide of humankind
Suicide of humankind
Kiss of death claiming lives
To persevere is no option, reset, rewind
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Ben Duerr]
Suicide of humankind
Eden is falling apart
Sounds of war echo on
The sounds of war echo on
[Outro: Ben Duerr]
The sheer will of mankind can only hold on for so long
Acting as though the last grain has faltered
