The lyrical content of the EP tells a fictional story of an apocalyptic cleansing of the human race, by mother Earth herself. After the warning signals, swarming viruses and raging natural disasters terrorize the planet. A select group of humans will survive and are given a second chance. A second chance to reform their way of living and rebuild a more harmonious world. With each passing year this story comes frighteningly close to our reality…

'Hivemind' lyrics:

Free from blind speech
Your symbiosis has no hold on me
Break the cycle
Of what is forcefully implanted in your mind

We have forgotten
What it means to think for ourselves
Don’t let your voice be silenced
For it’s the strongest tool you will get

Don’t get your spirit extinguished
Free your mind
Don’t listen to the voices of the selfish leaders
They gaze inside 
To find the hidden truth of what’s beneath the surface

Wait as the weak have all faltered
And are held in the hands
Of herders who speak into the mass

Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak

Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is

Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak

Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is right

Hivemind creating a world
Where no truths are spoken and no one is hurt
Hivemind creating a world
No absolutions, no survivors guilt

As the leaders preach
Their power grows
The weight is lifted
And the fragile will falls

Speak for yourself
Before someone else will do that for you

With truth in sight
The eyes will lead the way

Speak for yourself
Before someone else will do that for you

Wait as the weak have all faltered
And are held in the hands
Of herders who speak into the mass

Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak

Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is

Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak

Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is right

Abolishment of the free mind
The eyes will see what is left inside

Hivemind

Oblivion is written with the mindset to create something more dark and ominous feeling than what REFORMIST has ever written. The instrumentals made the perfect background for the Elden Ring themed lyrics that make this song the perfect mix between groovy riffs and dark eerie choruses.
