Nihil Morari Lyrics
"See me"
"Hear me"
"Need me"
Some things will never change
"Touch me"
"Heal me"
Mankind remains the same
Oceans
Forests
Nations
Now everything bears our name
While Earth is bleeding
Nothing will remain
Nothing prevails
We were stuck in this world of change
Expecting it to remain
Now nothing is left unstained
No!
When there's nothing more that we can trade
Own
Steal
Or sell
When there's nothing whole because we took it apart
And
Just left
Moved on
When there's nothing left for us to break
Use
Abuse
Or rape
Then you're free to count how much you saved
[News broadcasts]
I can see the ways we fail
I can see us fall so easily
A structure far too frail
I can see 40,000 years of knowledge and history
invested in this child
Spoiled and stained by proud divinity
Gaining at best the perspective and wisdom
of not even a fleeting century
We've now reached the last ten thousandths of a second of our evolutionary year,
as we hit 2,000 at a birth rate of 250 people a minute.
Tell me, how are we supposed to survive
if we're acting like fools all dropping dead to stay alive?
Someone tell me, please just show me
If there's nothing to do, God we'll turn to you
But if we're an image of you,
I reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too
You think we've developed fast, that we're civilized and intelligent?
I'll let you in on a secret: we have developed Things!
The rest is simply knowledge passed on
(I can see us drain this world
I can see us buying loss too cheap
Terra Sterilia washing its broken hand of us now
Creation's blackest sheep!)
Hell, 99% of humanity couldn't put together a simple light bulb if you put a gun to their heads!
And the intellect rubs off on fear
The year 2,010 AD: 6,823 Million people
2,020 AD: 7,518 Million people
2,030 AD: 8,140 Million people
2,040 AD: 8,668 Million people
2,050 AD: 9,104 Million people
I can see us read the signs,
but spell them out in backward travesty
I see us close our eyes
to all the wounds that we inflict to this world by being "free"
We love this world to death
Purchasing our lifestyles with our lives
Defending our momentary nations
with the life of our priceless earthly home
It's not hard to reach the top
It's not hard not knowing when to stop
It's not hard to take all
Not very difficult to fly if you settle for a fall
It's not hard to cross a line
It's not hard to push and go to far
Some creatures cannot climb
Then there are us who cannot even learn how to stay alive
I'm sorry
for the things we did and didn't do
Forgive us, the fools that rushed ahead without a clue
I am sorry
Please forgive us
For this human lack of humanity
This evolutionary travesty
This tragedy called "Man"
…called "Man"
[News broadcasts]
Forgive us, the fools that rushed ahead without a single clue
…without a single clue...
"Hear me"

The Darkness of Humanity, and the prelude to the fall of the species (see Latericius Valete).
The song explains how humanity fails, all its flaws, and how its rule is slowly destroying the Earth, portraying humanity's existence on Earth as virus-like. The previously diminishing relationship between Homines and Animae ends here, with humanity being "left to its own devices", causing it to approach its ever-nearing downfall.
