    "Annihilate the sparrow, that stealer of seed, and our harvests will abound; we will watch our wealth flood in."

  •  
    A brief moment of clarity broke through the deafening hum, but it was too late.

  •  
    A message of avarice rained down upon us and carried us away into false dreams of endless riches.

  •  
    Alone and unaware the landscape was transformed in front of our eyes. (live)

  •  
    Alone and unaware, the landscape was transformed in front of our eyes.

  •  
    Mechanical sounds cascaded through the city walls and everyone reveled in their ignorance.

  •  
    Millions starved and we became skinnier and skinnier, while our leaders became fatter and fatter.

  •  
    Our happiest days slowly began to turn into dust.

  •  
    The fear is excruciating, but therein lies the answer.

  •  
    The great leap forward poured down upon us one day like a mighty storm, suddenly and furiously blinding our senses.

  •  
    The sixth extinction crept up slowly, like sunlight through the shutters, as we looked back in regret...
