Venus Project

They manufactured their fate
 Machines still echo in these stark landscapes
 Hallucinations of grandeur led them to boast
 The distracted culture let the industries clench at their throats
 They were choking in their billowy haste
 Rising stacks spewed out toxic waste
 Lethal injections left a toxic trace
 The drugged atmosphere was a heavy embrace
 Corrosive gases thickened the atmosphere
 They moved through the unknown with their backs toward the mirror
 The past comes to life on the Earth sect
 Second in line as the Venus Project
 War was the priority for their future
 It overrode the threat of the fast rising temperature point of no return as they blistered and peeled
 It didn't matter though because their fate had been sealed
 Trapped inside an envelope of nuclear overkill
 They ensured all life to be born still
 The earth was pressure cooked as the water fled
 The land was filled with the dust from the dead
 Small jobs for big egos who let greed corrupt their lives
 They knew their future was coming, but illusions diverted their eyes
 Global dissonance, a scalding air of silence
 Geographic reverberations of apathetic violence
 Reminders of their greatness stand grim and barren
 Alone and useless over vast expanses
 The entirety of their race was brainwashed by scare tactics
 Unable to see any truth under a veil of distraction
 FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR
 Kill them before they kill you
 The result of that mentality led to...
 Lifeless scenes emerge between the clouds of acidic mist
 Metalloid structures crowd this puke colored abyss
 The past is the only thing living on the planet
 A runaway greenhouse affect destroyed everything organic
 The species left their impact with radioactive craters
 The cities lie flat on this nuclear future
 Phase ten complete on the Venus Project
 Scorched rocks and molten lead will be the fate of man
 Fear echoes strongly in this nuclear wasteland
