Extirpated
02:16
|
|||
Driven to extinction
Leaving no traces
Silently disappearing where endemism is high
Unique life-forms cloistered in certain places
Unknown species wiped out before their discovery
Exceptionally vulnerable
Habitats destroyed
They disappear unrecorded
Species extirpated
|
||||
2. |
Sidelined
01:29
|
|||
human-driven mass extinction
species and subspecies disappearing
huge declines in population
biological abundance right at the abyss
they are driving the steep decline of life's richness
demolition of life's variety, complexity and plenitude
unrecognized
ignored
sidelined
|

Shifting Perspectives
01:49
|
|||
The rising global middle class
Devouring vast amounts of living and nonliving matter
Accelerating way too fast
Spewing out vast amounts of waste
Lowering consumption is a must
to preserve the richness of mother nature
Reducing the human race shifting perspectives
Escaping the tyranny embracing education
The last opportunity to turn the tide
Mankind has served it’s time
|

If They Are To Survive
01:22
|
|||
By educating the masses
Dynamics can fully unfold
Embracing freedom for all beings
Cultivating and preserving the conditions
To achieve their fullest potentials
Humanity must retreat
Protect the biomes
Population gets decreased
Shielded with militant vigilance
Strict laws and real enforcement
If they are to survive
|
||||
5. |
||||
Conditioned to feel superior
No restraint by living out the supremacy
Hierarchy between man and nature
Permitting the onslaught on the ecosystem
A worldview hard to ignore
Deeply rooted inside
As if the whole world
Is dyed in it
Unmasking the tyranny
Once exposed it has nowhere to hide
Once one sees it there is nowhere it can’t be seen
|

Not Innate...

...But Taught
01:23
|
|||
Anthropocentrism shaping the human identity
Above all life forms and at liberty to use them
Not innate but taught
The ingrained conviction
Is blocking an alternative way of being from emerging
Stuck in their minds by lifelong conditioning
Mother nature is territorially carved among nations
Earth is the background upon which history unfolds
|
||||
8. |
||||
Fundamental freedoms taken away
Traversing oceanic
And continental distances
The decline accelerates
Human freedoms efface the freedoms of nonhumans
Endangering their abundances and ways of life
Habitat converted into agriculture
Countless obstacles
Blocking migration routes
Catching them
At their most
Vulnerable moment
Animal migration
Facing eradication
|
||||
9. |
Despair
01:43
|
|||
Exposing the current world view
A shattered world confronting us
Shattering global presence
Human greatness comes with allowing
the
Biosphere's magnificence to be what it is
Human-driven
Impacts are clearly
Irreversible
Devouring all hope
Species extinctions
Climate-disruption
Global contamination
Nothings left but despair
Devouring all hope
|
||||
10. |
Delusions
01:46
|
|||
Delusion of supremacy
Oathetic dominance
Able to end the agony
Driven by their arrogance

A World In Distress
01:25
|
|||
Conditions changing in fast forward
Movement severely hampered
Weak species are cornered
Earth’s synergy getting tampered
Adapt move or perish
Creatures experience habitat loss
Adapt
Move
Extinct
Erased by human kind
Wiped out by climate change
Chaos unfolds
A world in distress
Chaos unfolds
They succumb to their fate
Chaos unfolds
|

Forever Forgotten
01:07
|
|||
Colossal public ignorance
Surrounding biodiversity’s unraveling
Colossal public ignorance
Afflicted by life’s destruction
Forever forgotten
Earth’s intrinsic being
Turned into their ecumene
The human dominated world
|
||||
14. |
Holocene Extinction
02:27
|
|||
From biosphere to homosphere
Diminishing the living world
Sucking in the resources
At the cost of the rest of life on planet earth
The ignorance about the
Diversity of life deepens
It’s coming closer
The sixth extinction coming closer
Scaling down the human presence
Scaling down
Sleepwalking the way into the night of mass extinction
Walls are closing in
All life eradicated
Pulling back from the natural world
This is the sixth extinction
No trace of life left
