Walk the path that’s unknown Along the water's edge We will journey Where the forest is fed Disease no longer follows And the sun heats us strong The fire burns with ease And the river runs deep Even the serpents fear our hunt But short-lived is this human front As ice forms over our bodies And purge eternal molds The fire lights the fear of all cold and hungry Pale is the skin from no sun in this ice plane This frozen air steals my blood Another body skinned and worn Cycle through these centuries Of just enough not to die The brain exhausted and eclipsed Worn soles, hard, meet the bone Enshrined in stars I live on Look to the sky and read my thoughts Fire is the center of all man But I of the pack run loyal for the moon

Their broad-browed gaze makes us wait Thick with muscle they hunt untamed Great beasts fight back and make their name The stories immortal in cave’s paint Walls of the cave speak Reads the bones in our bodies A path cuts through the forest’s claws A voice is calling, “We were here first.” Visions of shadows dancing in the wake Know the one who fire first do make Walls of the cave speak Reads the bones in our bodies The mind’s eye sees archetype Shaman chant in fire’s light

Forces of nature, invisible grow Bacteria buried in seas primordial Exalting screams of triumph and pain The wild mind wanders Thoughts now like the wind The mind awakens to consciousness A feral human aware of itself Tombs are built and turned to bone The invention of envy sits sweet on the tongue Forces of nature invisible grow Bacteria buried in seas primordial Exalting screams of triumph and pain The wild mind wanders Thoughts now like the wind In the form of tornado, landslide and quake The animals know so in instinct remain The man and his hunger is the most dangerous thing Surrounding the valley they speak now in words The man and his hunger is the most dangerous thing They plot to capture all things valuable The elders find truth in the void of disease The growth comes at a cost in the end A creation myth exploding from the sun’s blaze The invention of greed connecting the far with storm air and flood All that which is built in the end becomes sand I will die to protect this border I will kill at my master’s order War my invention buckled spines break We will deliver these mangled bodies To the Earth they set forth decay To the Earth decay

Savage primitive man meet the modern man Answers with questions A slave to illusion The sky a death shade Space rocks dust spray Smoke stacks, steaming shit Poison floats on demon wings Savage primitive man kill the conqueror Feed from forest hands Beware the ones who seek power Sick winds sing extinction Succumb to ancient air Cities civil destruction Autospecicide Retreat to the top of the castle Mobs storm and scale the gates The king is dead Walk with the feral These ashen streets of eternal night Ruins of invention muffle final cries Witnessed the ending piece we’re the last ones left A hiding hungry pack at the edge of death Somewhere a document describes our descent Studied light years away by a higher sect They scoff at our mistakes, monetary greed The Earth once was whole, now floating debris Savage primitive man beware the modern man Perpetual conquester, a slave to illusion Savage primitive man kill the conqueror Feed from forest hands Not from those in power
