	This is actually the final track in a nine-part epic song about the so-called apocalypse, a mainstay theme for metal. The lyrics conjure complex images contrasted by simple but compelling riffs that drive the song to its inevitably violent end.

	Lyrics Inside I feel a premonition fighting to rise to revelation through the lies I drive against it. It’s shapeless devastation, like an earthquake Or the dried mud in the Flood’s wake, Like water to blood in the Egyptian sun. Is it a nightmare tearing at the seams of plain reality While I bite my thumb and thank the pain that braces mind against it? Or a lapse into lucidity from an erotic dream Where I struggle to get back? I struggle to get back to the womb. Back to Eden Back to Eden It’s the new fall of man It’s just as well It’s the new fall of man Eden is Hell Uncounted centuries sift through city streets unnoticed Slithering oblivious to the concrete jaws agape before them Lies a wasteland waiting to be sated with the blood Of saint and sinner alike While streets are plowed asunder into fertile soil Back to Eden Back to Eden Do it all again . . . the new fall of man It’s just as well It’s the new fall of man Eden is Hell But I can’t help but think It’s been a long time teetering on the brink And every generation calls itself the last of a fallen race. Our struggle to evolve to what we call transcendence Is a fight to climb atop the mound of our ascendants’ corpses. Inside I feel a premonition fighting to rise To the conscious mind through a swarm of lies. And I’ve bled alongside the dead of Armageddon As the sun beat down on the fertile crescent . . . Then went about my day. Back to Eden Back to Eden It’s the new fall of man But who can bear this? It’s the new fall of man And who could care less?
