Babel A.D. 06:41
In times of anger and despair no one seems to dare The die is cast, the leaders left their thrones How shall we define the new? Ruins, fragments of the dead Pictures fading away All growing cracks in the surface Will make empires fall The machine is eating up its ground A filthy rotten sound The storm is near, we harvest what we saw Prosperous, sovereign Ruins, fragments of the dead Stories fading away All growing cracks in the surface Will make empires fall Reaching higher and higher Towards the sun Burning my eyes until the fall The drums are constantly pounding The soil is bleeding black Shadows around me are growing tall

Possessed by false dreams I've condemned myself to death Playing my part in this evil scheme is how I'll draw my final breath Like in the stories of the wars before with people dying in the mud So must I now relive this farce once more and pay the price in my own blood In this place history repeats itself leading us down a path towards our doom whichever way we try to choose Possessed by false dreams I've condemned myself to death Playing my part in this evil scheme is how I'll draw my final breath Laughing the absurd in its face alienating yet an alien turning my eyes away from the abyss I can not grasp the depth I see So must I now relive this farce once more and pay the price in my own blood In this place history repeats itself leading us down a path towards our doom Possessed by false dreams I've condemned myself to death Playing my part in this evil scheme is how I'll draw my final breath

I´ve been travelling so long Been to places no one knows Always searching, on the run Borders are floating, nations gone. Timeless passenger, eternally seeking for light. For centuries and millennials, earthling’s delusional fate. Years and years are passing by Leaving homes for finding the new Endless journey for enlightenment Dying for wisdom until the end Leaving a part behind! Reborn again! What is identity! Create something new! Timeless passenger, eternally seeking för light. For centuries and millenials, eathlings delusional fate.

Doom Witch 05:40
Dust spreading everywhere Like gas replaced the air Doom Witch's brew begun to boil It reeks of naked sulphur dreams Doom Witch! Take me closer to the moon Doom Witch! Give me some more brew Now she's taken me to places that you've never seen Just imagine what she would do to you, do to me Dust spreading everywhere Like gas replaced the air Doom Witch's brew begun to boil It reeks of naked desert soil Doom Witch! It's burning in my chest Doom Witch! How much more is left? Having chest pains I'm about to die Her laughter's the last thing in my mind Dust spreading everywhere Like gas replaced the air Doom Witch's brew begun to boil It reeks of naked sulphur dreams Now what would the listener do? Please give me some more of that brew

När undergången, undergång är nära Kräver jag, kräver jag ett svar Befinner jag mig, befinner jag mig på jorden? Vad ska vi ta oss, vad ska vi ta oss till? När allt står still, kommer vi att förstå Hur kunde detta, kunde detta ske? Befinner jag mig, befinner jag mig på jorden? När undergången, undergången är här Viska gärna något som får mig att stå ut Låt något annat vara sant Berätta gärna en saga Som får mig att försvinna Som i en kall novemberdimma Om en plats är trygg och stilla Viska gärna något som får mig att stå ut Låt något annat vara sant Viska gärna något som får mig att stå ut Se till så att allt blir som förut Allt blir som förut

Utopia out of sight Children's innocent eyes Unable to see behind Society´s unequal and absurd kind Unequal and absurd kind Do not ask me To watch all this tragedy The vision of Utopia is fading away Can´t you see? I wish I could hide Wake up and be blind For what´s surrounding me Is eroding my mind Walking through the streets Decline and hope side by side Global projections locally intertwined intertwined Postmodern civilized world So many unfullfilled hopes Where is the awakening call I can´t hear OOHHH!!! AAAAHHH!!! I wish I could hide Wake up and be blind For what´s surrounding me Is eroding my mind

about

The Divine Anthropocene

The Divine Anthropocene is a collection of songs about mankind and all its challenges and problems such as social inequality, intolerance, war and the exploitation of nature. Topics with high relevance maybe especially in our present times. The term anthropocene stands for the proposed current geological epoch which is characterized by human influence on the earths ecosystem. Thus the album title refers to the arrogance and pride of the human being seeing itself as the superior race and disregarding its own imperfection – haughtiness comes before the fall!
