“Reclamation” describes the irrevocable consequences of Man’s exploitations of Earth and how Nature will retribute these actions with horrible catastrophes.
The song also ponders on the destitution that Man will ultimately reach because of these actions.
[Verse 1]
Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
Spinning its wheels endlessly
Grease them with oil and uranium!
Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
[Refrain]
The earth will shake
And the waters will rise
The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken
[Chorus]
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it's sown and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
[Verse 2]
Blindly consuming mass-manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Relentlessly draining its host dry
Nailing belief to a cross of genocide
[Refrain]
The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken
[Chorus]
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it's sown and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
[Breakdown]
Only after the last tree's cut
And the last river poisoned
Only after the last fish is caught
Will you find that money cannot be eaten
[Bridge]
And everything becomes irrelevant
As the sky tears open
Fire rains down, fire rains down
The fourth world comes to an end
Push the button, light the match
Feel the fault lines detach
Crosshairs in the evening light
I sit and watch the city burn tonight
The city burns tonight
Tonight
The city burns tonight
[Chorus]
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it's sown and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
