Science has failed, resources are running low, and there's still large amounts of mass confusion. The penultimate track, "Revive," paints a grim picture as the lyrics describe a humanity that realizes there is no coming back from this. The EP moves at such a breakneck speed that it successfully conveys the feeling of an outbreak spreading rapidly amongst an unsuspecting population.
