"Relinquished" lyrics

History doomed to repeat itself
Spin it like another broken record
This world, our prison and soon to be our tomb
By flood and fire
The Holocene is set for doom

First comes the cold and stings through the bones
Malicious and merciless, not another ounce of mercy to behold
The sharp biting frost accompanied by the winds
That pierce through the plague in which erodes at our souls

Then comes the fire
Over the hills
Dark smog encroaches
The sun snuffed out
Immolation awakens

Pure suffocation
Asphyxiate
All the creatures of this earth can't run from the flames
No human intervention can fend off the blaze

So, pray for the rains to hinder, to tame
The Ancient Mother offers no mercy
Mass displacement, famine, and annihilation
A true act of God, a cruel, cold conviction
The winds blow strong and feed upon the scorching
Spreading the embers, a new hell on earth emerging

Cold winds
Pierce souls
Flames burn
Scourging famine
Embrace an age of hell unfolding
Brought to our knees
The future, foreboding
Pray for salvation

Behold the ever-raging downpour
Relinquisher of the blaze
Take our sins and wash them clean
Drown the streets and sink our dying dreams
All erodes, reshaping all life
Carve us out
Taken by the storm

Rivers plagued, stricken with pollution
Destined to run dry
Breaking the bonds connecting
To the circle of life, Oh!

Alas, the frost, the deep winter winds
Seek refuge while you can before the storm sets in
The bodies now buried in rubble and ash
To be claimed by the careless acts of our past

Weathered souls to be called back home
To the angered mother, we've ignored her call
Let our sins be cleansed by the flame and the flood
Devour our wickedness and return us to dust

Welcome the downfall
Such is this entropy
Relinquish our history
Witness doom
