Vektor - Venus Project lyrics
[Vektor - Venus Project lyrics]
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
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
