Conscious, intravenous tubes reach for the flesh
Slowly burrowing their way inside
Injecting fluids into an unconscious motionless mass
Growth hormones flood the blood stream
Anesthetized, paralyzed, oblivious
Animals now live and die only in CAFOs
As mutated crops infest the aisles in the stores

GMO megacorporations breed like scum
Infiltrating the ranks of the already corrupt
To conform the masses and persecute the dissidents
Orchestrated, inevitable seizure of power
Accursed till the end of time, the human species
The victims of blatant disregard
We are the prisoners of virulent politics
For profit, a cancerous new world disorder
For profit, a cancerous new world disorder [x3]
Odious, abominable bourgeois
Harvesting the shambles of a dying world
By turning life to death, and death to life
The conundrum
Do we stop blight or turn into it ourselves? [x2]
They infect us like insects
Septic catheters in reverse
Like parasitic worms feeding on carrion
The vile capitalists advance further
Frothing at their rabid orifices
They conquer our seed and land
Gangrenous, they decompose our social fabric
The unmistakable stench of putrescence
Of a civilization solely built on treachery
Now degenerate, it was all a lie [x2]
GMO megacorporations breed like scum
Infiltrating the ranks of the already corrupt
To conform the masses and persecute the dissidents
Orchestrated, inevitable seizure of power
Odious, this abominable bourgeois
As they sit in their ivory towers
Nooses tied to the sons of the soil [x2]
Centralized totalitarian rule
We cease to resist
Coerced and repressed, we comply
We submit to disguised slavery

Irrevocable genetic modification
Variants of spliced bacteria
Isolated and experimented on
Consequence of accelerated evolution
The grand contagion, a matter of time
The vaccine becomes the disease
Erratic and protean, the microbes disseminate
Intrinsic, the primal urge to thrive
Humans scramble for inoculation
As corporations leverage the outbreak
Modified crops, attacked
None immune to nature's will
Prototypes, tampered with and altered
The pestilence, fated
Famine in the first world, a taste of their own
Then anarchy and disorder, a little too late
Leeching land, sea and the air of all life
Mutant weeds devour the last of the ecosystems
Foul and moldy, rotting tissue envelops the wind
As the black fungus oozes from the skies

Mutate

Great swarming cities, now remain abandoned
Piled up on the streets, rotting corpses
Survivors forced into subterranean refuge
BSL6-grade opulence for The Consortium
Patches of green and chunks of red
Now, vectors and hosts themselves
Pathogens adapt to lands unknown
Metamorphosis, transient speciation
An entire planet terrorformed
Composite habitats replaced
Vulgarians, diseased and disfigured
Hostile and alien, the new flesh
Hundreds of years pass by
Still, all resistance is futile
Generations of mutated humans
Repulsive anomalies, now inherent [x2]
Dehumanization, the only answer
Enzymes and chemicals to make us less human
Bionic limbs and organs, integrate
Mechanized, synthetic veins [x2]
Gas masks for the young, surgically attached
To keep you docile, a dose of the blue pill
Some high-fructose corn for your mood
Bishphenol-A to package everything you consume

Exode

Clouds of acrid smoke now cover the world
Toxic algal blooms, malodorous stench
Sludge from the sky depraved the air
The earth we knew, now cold and inert
From deep bunkers, the last of the proletarians emerge
The survivors, replaced with cybernetics
For signs of resistance, they scout the surface
In pursuit of a counter-agent, they persist
Flickering in the bleak and somber night
And glowing with machine-made precision
A Bernal Sphere in low orbit, they discover
The aristocratic sanctuary of the Philistines
From the remnants of the early chiliad
They salvage and fabricate automatons of yore
Remotely implanting a backdoor Trojan
The colony’s airlock, they seize control of
Though contaminated, the Sphere is cleansed
Conspirators of the great pandemic
They lie motionless and still
Comeuppance, the necessary perogative
Stranded and left to fade into extinction
Persevering, the survivors rally the last few
The only hope for humanity
Amalgamation of man and machine
Exodus, mass transfer of consciousness
Mankind, reduced to a mere brain in a vat
Cognition and perception, still intact
Cost of sterility, balanced with sentience [X2]
