There's a sickness in us all, deeper than any pit, darker than any grave, impossible to climb out of. This illness, human nature, leaves us barren like the soil we ourselves have poisoned, burned and salted.
Poisoned by faiths, burned by ideology, salted by the corpses of vaguely determined enemies. By sowing the seeds of togetherness we sowed the seeds of the other. A ruined, sick crop.
lyrics
[Chorus]
MARTO MIELI, MARTO MAA
TURHA LAJI, KALMANHARMAA
VÄÄJÄÄMÄTÖN TULEVAISUUS
ON IHMISSUVUN MARRAS-KUU
All that grows here anymore
Calluses, suffering, constant war
Salt the soil of humankind
Nothing will be left behind
[Verse 1]
For long we've struggled
Under the yoke of human
coexistence
Nothing gained, everything lost when
we realized there's strength
in numbers
If there's one thing you can trust
it's our talent to fuck things up
Civilization to keep us safe
Brand new agonies, a mass grave
How we revel, so grandiose
born together to die alone
Herd mentality in our genes
will spell our end, watch and see
Watch and see
[Chorus]
MARTO MIELI, MARTO MAA
TURHA LAJI, KALMANHARMAA
VÄÄJÄÄMÄTÖN TULEVAISUUS
ON IHMISSUVUN MARRAS-KUU
All that grows here anymore
Calluses, suffering, constant war
Salt the soil of humankind
Nothing will be left behind
[Verse 2]
All we have on our barren minds
Pointless politics, modern tribes
Trying to save our wretched kind
We're just polishing coprolite
A swift end would be a mercy
Slow death-throes of humanity
All despair, gone in a blink:
No coming back from going extinct
[Chorus]
MARTO MIELI, MARTO MAA
TURHA LAJI, KALMANHARMAA
VÄÄJÄÄMÄTÖN TULEVAISUUS
ON IHMISSUVUN MARRAS-KUU
All that grows here anymore
Calluses, suffering, constant war
Salt the soil of humankind
Nothing will be left behind
MARTO MIELI, MARTO MAA

VÄÄJÄÄMÄTÖN TULEVAISUUS
ON IHMISSUVUN MARRAS-KUU
MARTO MIELI, MARTO MAA
TURHA LAJI, KALMANHARMAA
VÄÄJÄÄMÄTÖN TULEVAISUUS
ON IHMISSUVUN MARRAS-KUU

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
