Anthropocene Songtext
von Klamm

Anthropocene - age of relentless senescence
Obscene decadence of planned obsolescence
You′re welcome to poison, sear, starve and drown
As long as the Dow doesn't go down
One Amazon blazing, the other blooming...
Vulgar prices marked with ashes and blood

Savage revolution of the gears of nature
By the super-mutagen called man
Monotonous expanses of patented sterile seeds
Where has the movement in the soil gone?
Where is the buzzing and colorful glint in the meadows?
Sacrificial mass extinction for fictitious ciphers

How dare you deny and defy and belie
Our accusations filled with pleonastic certainties
The all-consuming, hostile dominance of finance
The moribund growth imperative of this order
Which is like the neoplastic swelling of the cancer
The soulless rigged market - the only organism you defend


Graceful legs, entwined by muscles, shudder with exhaustion
Keen eyes, wide with dread, reflect insatiable fires...
Soon septic wounds weep on swollen, auto-aggressive bodies
A defeated shortsighted gaze sweeps the confines of the prison
Imagine your own tortured flesh ground up and offered on sale...
Cruelty become a commodity - devaluation of A LIFE!

The bloody breath of the Levante is thinning
The desertified Savannah glows like an inflammation
Famine, exploitation, war uproot the masses
Countless dead on account of countless debt
Callous calculus of casual casualties
We are at the watershed, we are at the bloodshed

How come you only believe what you are presented
And conveniently don′t see what you don't believe
The darkness machine is grinding on...
While you keep dreaming your deteriorating dream
Mankind's chrysalis hangs in stasis
Over the flaring furnace of the elites

The expectoration of a delirious decaying culture
Cauterizes and effaces the reefs
Piles up continents of plastic
Literal waves of waste and humans
Dead or almost dead - "collateral" - litter the littoral
Finally our filthy ruins sink to their Atlantean fate


Soon you flee on clogged artificial veins
To your infarcted metropolitan hearts
Creep into the crumbling concrete shelters
Built on the debris of a war not that long ago
The collapse is systemic, the rot too deep
You cannot run from this, you will not crawl from this doom!
