Begotten From Mother Earth

Lightning crashes
Shattered sky
Sounds of destruction
Fading cries
Born from the womb
Torn from the cord
Waiting in judgment
Life is abhorred

Silence
Darkness
Escape
Try
Begotten
From mother
Earth
We die

Tearing through forests of unknown lands
Sacrificed all of our life
Pursuit of true power born by your hands
Surfacing pride with a knife
False masters will beat you (merciless cry)
Only your own perseverance (your god)
They'll leave you bleeding (if you should cry)
They'll torture you if you should fail
Will you not stand against the suffering
Will you just take what you recieve
Begotten from earth, wind and fire
Your purpose lies with the rotting

Take back what belongs to us
This life that is so meaningless
Slaves to our own machines
The only life (the color of our dreams)
Forsaken and betrayed
Mother now is dying (save)
What we've done can't be reversed
Forlorn, tortured mother earth

I've gone blind to all we see
Nothing more is left for me
I cannot understand our ways
Living now in darker days
Wish to crawl back underneath
Somewhere where the souls are reaped
Clinging on to dying rock
Have no pride – time has stopped
What I feel is flesh and bone
Cold steel now has overgrown
Should return from whence I came
Nature of life's cruel game

Riddled with cold despair
I ask who left truly cares?
Lost without a name or cause
Suffering every little loss
This is nothing permanent
Sheltered by our thoughts
Walking aimlessly since birth
Begotten by Mother Earth
