The day comes to an end
And our time draws down
On the edge of a precipice
We must make a choice
Decide to rectify our sins
Or embrace oblivion
We have stolen so much
In pursuit of profits
We are the victims of our own crimes
So close to the point of no return
Mounting problems
Our planet is hanging on
Humans are standing on
An environment that can’t sustain
Lies that deny science
Billions of species, gone
A widening wealth gap
Depleted natural resources
Worsening climate disasters
Reject corporate lies
Their greed is draining our lifeblood
There is enough for everyone
There is only one earth
Live to see another day

Hypocrits
Fascists
Destroying a life you can barely comprehend
To save a soul that doesn’t exist
Slaves to bullshit ideas
Driven by misguided empathy
Claim to save humanity
But help no one
Killing those less well off
With shortsighted views
Passing judgement
But the blade hangs over you
Serving a base much smaller than you think
The will of masses will remove you
Out of step with the majority
You are almost out of time
Completely unaware of the consequences you create
You sleep soundly
While others lie awake
Distraught with the options at hand
The hardest choice she’ll ever have to make
Consider your demons
Consider someone else
Consider your faith
Consider the path of others

Rotting Foundation

Take a knee
But remove it from his neck
A broken system
History of racism
Built into the foundation
Hold your fire
Enough have died
Innocent blood spilled
To cover your mistakes
Armed to the teeth
Numbers of an army
Killing those you serve
How can you see the problem
You don’t believe there is one
Caring about the lives of others
Doesn’t mean disrespect
Where is your true courage?
To stand up for your fellow man
Against your brothers
With those who want to do right
Tear down tyranny

Planetary Clairvoyance

After listening to this and the new album, the only thing growing inside is an overwhelming love for Tomb Mold!

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.
