I was primped and poised and shit out
Antediluvian lady
You won't get far in a knockabout

It's confusing
You keep me lit like antediluvian Troy
But one always reveres what one's bound to destroy

Long ago, one nation rose above all
Others in the antediluvian world... Atlantis

I've seen
I've seen the antediluvian beast
Within the great depth of the ocean

Time: 1:01
Phantom profane at thy behest...
Antediluvian orders
To subjugate the proletariat

Time: 0:48
Revealing to me the book of the wicked
Speaking antediluvian tongues written in dark matter
"I hath witnessed a deconstruction of your psyche

Time: 2:13
If you could only imagine
Antediluvian worlds
A land too distant to travel
