1. Convoys To Nothingness
Faces - eyes - noise
Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed
From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery
From another world
The left for a brighter star
A new home called "now"
Womb - death - dawn
Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence
Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought
The chasm between truth and flesh paved
With bricks from secret cities
Entering linear orbit
Crushing the foundations of divided times
Suns reflected
Convoys...
Convoys to...
Convoys to nothingness...
2. The Voices
I hear their poisonous words again
As they call out for submission and code
"To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say
These were the voices that destroyed us
Did I want for this loss to be sustained?
Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths
From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight
Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness
Taken from me, I learned to preserve
These were the voices that sunk our ships
These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding
Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake?
Did I gently place these thorns through the surface
of my eyes?
Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever?
Fail to comply - reborn in war
The answer being no
Did I?
3. Vision: Sphere of The Elements - A Monument Part II
Betrayed by disillusion
Enslaved by insanity
Enslaved by commitment to betrayal
Betrayed by all elements
My vision is clear and strong
I comfort myself to fulfil it
There exists no edge
Clearly existence is wrong
I kill myself to fulfil my vision
Consumed by astral interference
I deny this monument to be my sphere
I choke this ego to find that i'm dead
I deny this monument to be my sphere
I will die as one
4. Hollow Inside
Hollow inside - I didn't sleep too well last night
Step over, turn the light
Hollow inside - I didn't dream too much last night
Step over, turn the light
Knock on the door - these are the interfering themes
Open it up, too soon
Shorter in time - the interactive parts go by
I fear for a while - my head
I fear for a while - that my head will expand
And stretch out in to the stratos wild
Can't you see, those birds in limbo breaks
And of course you hear, listen, the straws
From above you, and underneath in the glow
I can touch them
Spiritualized
Dogs with bones, they are released
One too many to get on
5. The Cromlech Gate
[The fool:]
"Fear not dear kinsmen, cause you
Saviour I am. I'll bring back our glory
And wisdom Achieve I'm searching the
Old path to bring back the elder"
Smug as only the fool can be, mindless
Blindly. He marches towards his fate
Summoned by the Cromlech by hunger within
[Voice from a parallel existance:]
"Come inside my friend, your father is waiting.
Your search ends here, Wisdom you have
gained, the signs you have read."
Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons
Underworld slavery
Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen
The elder is hiding beyond thoughts
Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge
I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited
But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground
(I drank the wine)
(I took up the runes)
I found the home of the elder
6. Enemy I
It was here I was born
While the stars held their breaths
After ages of pseudo-presence
I climbed the final steps
Up from deep beneath the shores
Eieth no longer sleeping gal
Thus alive and the stillness
Only to be broken by whispers
Towards the moon
Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries
That will not be silenced or rest
Forever more and awaken not
To paint in blanks or wither
Beauty blinding no more
than the whole is less now
We see clearly what was not there
The prey become predator
Slaughtering not raging blindly
Through tunnels of sorrow and lust
For solitude and peace of mind
Says it is time to unmask and face
Behind lines - that is Enemy I
7. Smirr
He sees his world through the crystal state of departure
The hooves echo the approach of the third coming
On it's back a goddess with shining black armour
The steel that will separate the will from doing
Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by
Plasma of dying chapters
Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying
Of inner banes
His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs
Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses
The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming
Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night
So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps
While we laugh and remain forever
She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades
The hooves echo the approach of the third coming
On it's back the faceless her Elder Ones saw
The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith
Stories told, divinity unfold
She passes on, yet remains in Smirr
Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams
8. The Sleep: Floating Diversity - A Monument Part III
The battle's now past
The war of all was within itself
Painfully sleeping
All hail the fallen
The time is now for the king to tell
The battle's now past
All hail the fallen
Pleading diversity equals no scream
Thickening intensity now fatal
Beyond portrayed dream
9. Outro: Self-Zero
