Nocturnus - Aquatica lyrics

In the future year - 2023 Multinational warlords - build an aquatic colony In the struggle for - total domination Corporate powers - move in to take control Stratagem inset Manipulate the opposition Wrath of devastation to reduce life status Martial law declared - surveilance over the colonies Wage and mayhem - put to an end momentarily Resolving confrontations - over territorial disputes Battles break out - when negotiations crumble Charred remains washing to the shore Escaped ones flee to the surface Vessels patrol the ocean floor Maintaining border dominion through eradication of organisms Sea and surface life All is sacrificed In quest for reign of the deep Whosoever masters the seas the last remaining frontier gains the wealth locked in the brine Precious minerals sought - by the surface Hostile takeover of - the mining communities Stormtroopers of technology Careful to maintain nitrogen balance Surgically removing the enemy within New leaders create - order out of chaos A civilization - beneath the depths Arson of power conquering the oceans - Forming imbalance Particles react Expire life from - the precious seas Thresholds mend Sludge chain reaction - melts them down again Depth charge Destabilizing crust - and floor Instructed probes Sear the water from - the toxic veil Weapons system Tear the living - from their glory Vandal masters carving up - the biosystem Submerged deep Fatal dictatorship - of the seas [spoken verse] Surface dwellers tremble from a new superpower Superior intellect choosing Base in the seas Systematically eliminating All who do not take heed Stench of the aftermath confirms Aquatica's victory No longer shall there be any separations between cultures Remaining survivors cast into a melting pot of conglomerate slavery Absolute extinction of the once praised heroic patriot Lands of solid ground turned into a biodegradable human wastleland Pay homage to the ocean where the kingdom now dwells Aquatica, the submerged city
