Wasteland
Atargatis Lyrics

Dryness fell over the land of Man,
A severe lack of moisture settled upon the Earth due to Man's harmful actions.

For they have turned the landscape by their wasting hand.
Man has destroyed and degraded the environment through their careless behavior.

Dried up earth and only fruitless soil,
The soil has become depleted and can no longer support plant growth, further exacerbating the environment's degradation.

Every look you take shows that they have lost control.
The visible consequences of human actions on the Earth make it clear that humans have lost their ability to manage the planet effectively.

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand,
The only remnants of humanity traversing the barren wasteland are individuals who have resorted to bare feet and exposed skin in the harsh environment.

Wretched creatures in former times called Man
Humans, once considered superior beings, have now devolved into wretched, pitiful creatures.

Try to hide their knotty limbs from the burning sun.
Humans attempt to shield their damaged bodies from the scorching heat of the sun which they themselves have helped intensify.

They are naked, their skin is like parchment,
The visible effects of the environment on human bodies have resulted in emaciated, parched skin.

still wandering to discover fertile land.
Despite the devastating consequences of their actions, humans persist in their search for a place where they can exploit more resources and cause further damage.

"Tell us the way out of this odyssey.
Humans plead for a solution to the mess they have made of their environment and their lives.

Fill the oasis for you are the water's heir!
Humans hope that a compassionate entity will restore the life-giving water that the environment needs to recover.

Forgive the destruction for our fathers 've failed.
Humans attempt to absolve themselves of guilt by blaming previous generations for creating the circumstances which led to the current crisis.

Don't turn our quest into an infinite, wrong way!"
Humans fear that their continuation along their current path of destruction will result in eternal suffering and negative consequences.

No one's left to continue mankinds trace,
Humanity has exhausted the natural resources it relied on to survive and destroyed the environment to such an extent that the future of the species is in question.

That marked the land so unpardonably,
Humanity has left an indelible mark of damage and degradation on the Earth that may be impossible to undo.

The seekers lose the last human domain,
Even those who continue to search for a way to survive in a hostile environment are losing what remains of humanity's once-territory.

Evolution will wipe out their pace!
The continued destruction and harm caused by humans will lead to their inevitable extinction as a species.

I can't hear you anymore, my patience is lost.
Those who once sought to help humanity recover from their mistakes have become disillusioned and apathetic towards them.

You are the sons of hate, for your fathers failed.
Those who came before have created a legacy of destruction and hate that has been perpetuated through the generations.

Be at least as wise to give up and let
It would be intelligent for humanity to acknowledge their mistakes and cease their harmful behavior.

Nature heal itself without your destructiveness!
Restoring the environment to health can only be done when humanity steps back and allows nature to recover on its own, without interference.
