In His image, where civilization once stood
Not the only ones pursuing good
Cultural, spiritual, literal genocide
What's left now is only to fantasize
Pick at the broken rubble encased in ashes
What awaited to be found none could possibly perceive
The ignorance spread far across the horizons
Plagues this landscape and refuses to cleanse
Hammered deep in history
A need for bloodlust, hunger for agony
Rooted far beyond their final days
Pleasure taking life, pain dealt swiftly
Salvage their hope
Salvage this Earth
Burns, clawmarks, fatal wounds
Returning what was merely borrowed
Terraforming this husk of a planet
Interdimensional rifts transform
Matter to obliteration
Still a calm before the storm
Second phase of revitalization:
Call upon His strength once again
Thick are the streams of blood flowing free
Devitalization complete, organisms wiped of burden
Unneeded assistance to live
This world no more than a footrest
The time now to build history
The absence of bloodlust, hunger for agony
Rooted far beyond their final days
Pleasure for life to exist
Salvage their dreams
Salvage this place
Now only the worthy survive
Their gifts passed on to the next
Reinventing this husk of a planet
Power beyond their power
These gifts of knowledge, intelligence, will
Serve me greatly
Untouchable, above
Insects beneath my feet
Sworn to protect, serve and
To quench all desire
If I cannot conquer
Then how am I to prove?
Unmitigated conflict
Galaxy-wide destruction
Is this what was imagined?
In the name of our reconstruction
None of this
meant to be
Their weakness perpetuates
This cycle of truths
Jaded visions of what should be
