In the darkness of my empty cage

A being from Venus speaks to me

I have seen your planet suffer seven nuclear wars

I've seen your civilization rise from its ruin

Only to crumble once more to ash

Noah's ark was a period of time, and not a boat

It is through such misconceptions your beliefs are weakened and your faith lost

And your people now deformed mutations of a once beautiful race

Why can you not see?

Space, vast and empty

There is nothing; there is no one

There is no love; there is no life

Earth is born of molten lava

Torn from the breast of a violent star

There is no love; there is no life

Man is created and rises from the dust-fringed edges of the cooling mud

To love, to conquer, to kill

And he will

The noise of battles

Must they be heard again?

Will you be the 7th Generation Mutation?
