Bloodline - Aephanemer

Spawn of Earth, heir to the bane

What is worth such suffering and pain?

Land is flayed under foolish dominion

Untold slaves consigned to oblivion

They’re despised while plunged in despair

Hubris claims each day a growing share

Do you feel cut off from this world?

When you weep for countless dying herds

First do no harm

Never be ashamed of having a kind heart

Then rise to height

Take a view from above where the prospect is bright

From the sea of cosmic time and space

All the boundaries wane and the differences fade

A unit within an army

One vessel among many

Walls were built to justify the wrong

But distinction is about to decline

We’re kin of all whose fate is to evolve

The last offsprings of a single bloodline

Can you feel this breeze of anarchy?

While the madness spreads just as the blood runs

The uprising of a new humanity

Breaking old rules and binding new ones

Sink back down

Cleverness is a gift we’re wearing like a crown

Now play your part

Remember adapting is the purpose of being smart

Nothing seems to improve through our tiny lifespan

But history is on move, the quickening began

Behaviours go viral within the web of lives

Some people strive towards better times

Walls were built to justify the wrong

But distinction is about to decline

We’re kin of all whose fate is to evolve

The last offsprings of a single bloodline

If the ruin do fall upon us all

Still remains the choice of our deeds right in the here and now

Walls were built to exploit overmuch

But extinction is at the end of the line

Our misdeeds might backfire on us

For the living is deeply intertwined

Can’t you feel this need for empathy?

While the madness threatens to take it all

If we lay down our old burden of vanity

We’ll regain our place in the whole
