Terrasitic Adaptation

(album: Terrasite - 2023)

Life finds a way
The fauna from the trauma
Culled from the pages of this human drama
Our petrified tombs
Now crumbling oothecas
From which a new species of human arises

This radiated Earth
Now incubating the brood
Amidst the flora, a flourishing Gomorrah
Novel inhabitants
Doubled down variants
Of the most insidious species that's capable of sentience

We molt from the past, an existence that couldn't last
One rife with disease, war, abject cruelty formed
From civilization's rationalization
That we are to be the conquerors of all entities

We're not going anywhere
We disseminate and descend, our corruption has no end
We stoked the fire and it backfired
Returned a parthenogenetic breed, gratuitous multiplier

Thriving on poison is the secret
Of a successful
Parasite
As you make one you make another
And there hide others
In plain sight

Successful in our adaptation
For violation
Of all life
An inexorable imperative
Human's narrative
Never dies

We're coming from everywhere
A promethean infestation, anthropomorphic invasion
That's born from fire, roach-like survivor
Returned to consume and populate terra firma occupier
