Children of the Gods
The Arkitecht Lyrics

Children of the gods, the gifted ones,
We are the chosen ones, born with great abilities.

Born of sun and moon as keepers of truth.
We are the guardians of truth, born to maintain balance.

Failure, defeated balance!
Our failure has led to an imbalance in the world.

Wars are fought to keep our holiness,
We fight wars in the name of our religion to maintain our purity.

Evil decadence, the price of our loot.
Our greed has created a culture of evil and decay, the cost of our gains.

Symphony of agony ever we compose,
We are constantly creating pain and suffering through our actions.

Gluttony, our disease, swells through the world,
Our insatiable desire for more material things is causing harm to the world.

Larcency, conspiracy, we can do it all!
We are capable of theft and deception, and have a culture that encourages this behavior.

Our empire will collapse.
Our society is doomed to fail due to our destructive nature and actions.

Balance is broken,
The equilibrium in the world has been lost due to our actions.

Killed the treasure meant for thou to guard!
We have destroyed the very thing we were meant to protect.

Seeking our nature,
We need to understand our true nature to heal the world.

Errand children must strive to reconcile
We, as the chosen ones, have a duty to restore balance and harmony to the world.

Long we've waited for the fated end,
We have been anticipating the destruction of our society for a long time.

Still, survival is a primitive desire,
Despite our impending downfall, we still cling to the hope of survival.

A dream of mine
I have a vision of a better world, but it may be too late to achieve it.

But it is just too late.
Our society is too broken to be saved, and our time has run out.

Ignorant of the past
We have failed to learn from our mistakes in the past.

We are bound to harm again,
Our destructive nature will inevitably lead to more harm.

To conquer whatever's left.
We will continue to take whatever we can, even if it means destroying what's left of the world.

Innocence is transgression,
Even those who are innocent are guilty of contributing to the world's problems.

No one can claim they don't partake;
Everyone is responsible for the state of the world, whether they realize it or not.

The utter truth is within.
The solution to our problems lies within ourselves.

Forests on fire, oceans are higher, still we inquire
Despite the obvious signs of environmental collapse, we are still searching for someone to blame.

Who is to blame?
We are searching for a scapegoat for the problems we have caused.

If there's more than I see
If there are other forces at work that I am not aware of,

All my faith lies in you.
I trust that you will guide us through this crisis.

If there's no future, be done,
If there is no hope for the future, we should accept our fate and move on.

There is no time, not for us, no time left!
We have run out of time to fix our problems.

If ever I release my wrath,
If I ever become angry and lash out,

Thou shalt depart in fright!
You will be scared away and not return.

Thou hast shaped an awful scene
You have created a terrible situation.

Within my sacre womb!
Within the world that we were meant to nurture and protect.

It'd be hard to break the chains,
It will be difficult to break free from our destructive ways.

It'd take courage to abandon dismay.
It will take bravery to overcome our despair and attempt to make a change.

Seeking redemption,
We must strive to make amends for our past mistakes.

Beauty forsaken,
We have destroyed the natural beauty of the world.

There's still time for men to come about.
There is still time for us to turn things around.

Children of Nature,
As children of the gods, we are also children of nature.

Time has come to mend thy soul!
Now is the time for us to heal the world and restore balance.
