1. Cybertrash

Superstition, disguised as faith
The Fear of death plagues their eyes
Automated animation, a fingerprint personality
Born of desperation,
So terrified that you just might dissappear when you die
And that there is no difference between right or wrong

Elimination of the modern nation
No need for the excess population
Twisted monuments of human decay
Old death to new beginnings
Remake the world in genocide
Everything they taught you is a lie

Would you die for this?
Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured
Would you die for this?
Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash

Proclaimed by a thousand prophets
Believed by a million fools
Its an endless line of tragedies
What is faith but another word for superstition
On the ruins of the old
Free of the moral waste
Perfect and gleaming
In the light of the morning star

Would you die for my sins?
Or would you take my life and try to make it yours?
Prove me wrong, but I'll still see it my own way

Would you die for this?
Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured
Would you die for this?
Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash




2. Planet of the Apes

To many lies breeds to many flies
It's evolution through confusion
Hate is never without reason
Love is never without treason

Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you

"Godly" parasites in massive invasion
Deformed creation... Unnatural Invention
Procreate, then desecrate - Inseminate, then devastate
No hope for humanity...It's a planet of apes

Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you

Nothing new ever came out of someone like you
Don't decieve yourself thinking that you know what to do
What will you do when all your toys are broken
What will you say when all your lines are spoken

No hope for humanity.... it's a planet of apes

Gently violated and desecrated
The quintessential art of self-destruction
You left behind the will to believe in nothing
You are never going to be what you want to be

Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you




3. Star by Star

We were alone and on our own, in the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre, amidst the chaos, from the stars
Love, life and liberty, Hate, death and captivity
Like a stain of starless darkness, across the canvas of space

Star by Star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me

Galaxies glitter in the black night sky, Towards progress, towards death
From the stars we have come, and to the stars we will return

The violence of passion - The passion of violence
The perverse impulses - The savage egoism
The wicked presence - The wicked essence
The thing that unites us - The thing that divides us

Star by Star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me




4. Via Negativa

The arrogance of angels, the heresy of Christ
The stupidity of humanity, the skeletons of society
It's time to separate the saints from the sinners
Judgement day is coming - Evacuate then renovate

Proclaimed by a thousand prophets, believed by a million fools
But the day will come when everything falls apart
All it takes is a single act of animal desperation
And what if all the things we believed in were true

Decades of decadence and aeons of evil
Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star
From the center of damnation to the outskirts of Hell
Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings

In our quest for miracles, we started a war of genitals
Disguised as the bearers of justice, we took your fears a made you a God

Why are you afraid of something you're not even sure exists?
I am the maze of God... I am the true face of fraud
Embrace the pain, and I will lead you to another heaven
For who are you to belive in another paradise than mine?

The Infant Prodigy - The Bearer of Light
Without me you would be nothing at all
The beginning and the end are the same, the circle never ends
And the more things change, the more they stay the same

Decades of decadence and aeons of evil
Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star
From the center of damnation to the outskirts of Hell
Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings




5. Stillborn Universe

Lost in this place, like fragments of another time
I close my eyes and see myself from above
Drifting apart, like splinters of scattered glass
But we all have our own reasons to continue

Don't you want it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you need it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you love it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you need it anyway...

I can't come down when your around
I lose control and hit the ground
So everything must change
and all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe

We are battered, we are torn
(it pleases me to see you broken)
We're the hate that you adore
(it pleases me to see you broken)
We are hollow, we are bruised
(it pleases me to see you broken)
We are numb and self-abused
(it pleases me to see you broken)

I can't come down when your around
I lose control and hit the ground
So everything must change
and all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe

You thought that life would be so wonderful..
You thought that all could be so beautiful..
You thought that everything, would be so simple
You thought that everything would be so perfect

[Chorus]

I can't come down when your around
I lose control and hit the ground
So everything must change
and all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe




6. Acid Theatre

Liquid phantom fields of motion
For those who cannot see the future
Like masked sands of deception
The wave of the future foundation

Green fields of euphoria
A disfigured replica of paradise
A distant enigma light
Splintered apart in spatial distortion

Never believe the things they tell you
Never trust the lies they feed you
Never do what the want you to do
Never be who they want you to be

Shade and shadow, through glory and ecstacy
Erotic sensations arising from the misery of others
Believe what you will,
untill experience changes your mind
For the day is not done,
and I have miles to go to make them sleep forever

Never believe the things they tell
Never trust the lies they feed you
Never do what the want you to do
Never be who they want you to be




7. Perfect End

Look at me and tell me what you see
I am not what you think I am
Too weird to live, too rare to die
Haloed in the headlights of death
Is this Hell disguised as heaven?
Is this death masquerading as life?
So much is said, so little shown
I see no reason, I feel no end

This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

Stitched up like a ragged doll
Wrapped around your naked soul
I am what you know as temptation
I am the ancient deception

I wish I could leave this world behind
I wish I had the will to end it all
But I shall paint my nightmares
And things will never be the same again

This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end




8. Neon

Bastard proclamations of a dying nation
Social deconstruction through deceit and deception
Hit us with your pointing stick
Golden arches crucifix
We will never be like you

Subliminal derangment of the human senses
Corporate illusions of holy intervention
Vulture culture history
Television ministry
We will never be like you

Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
Were all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your t.v.screen
Let me be your god....

Subdue your maker - Subdue your maker
I am the giver and I am the taker
Subdue your maker - Subdue your maker
All succomb to me...

Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
Were all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your t.v.screen
Let me be your god....




9. Keepers of the Garden

In the darkness of space, they suffer in temptation
Dementia creeping closer, but what difference does it make

Sometimes the best way up is down
And for some moments in life there are no words
The sky is filled with dead stars
There is no escape...There is no return
In a state of terror and confusion
With euphoria as an ambition...
Through the doors of perception
We will leave this place behind

Wide open space, so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space

The ancient deception, the so-called fall from grace
And Eden was just a place in outer space...
The shining ones, the keepers of the garden
The ancient ones, those who came from the sky

Wide open space, so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space




10. Pantomime

Burning bright in the industries of night
Between the stars like a wanderer, across the sea of suns
I reached out for the radiant shadow of a figure with horns
Drawn like a moth to flame, and into the lions den

Space cities of wonders, at an evolutionary dead-end
Pale electric shadows, locked together in common self-hatred
All it takes is an idea, a single word can change the world
I tried as hard as I could to make you understand,
There`s no difference between up or down out here

Xenophobia...Five fingers are no longer enough
Xenophobia...We lost control along time ago

The Judas halo - The betrayer spirit
The human ambition in all its disfigured glory
Liars of Light - Masters of Night
We all get what we deserve in the end

Xenophobia...Five fingers are no longer enough
Xenophobia...We lost control along time ago




11. Hollow Earth

Dead center in the middle of nowhere
Coma existence...surrounded by the living dead
There is no hope, there is no tomorrow
You took our world and bled it dry

These are the last days of planet earth
(and) We will be there when they realize the truth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousell
These are the last days of planet earth

Victims of a defective genepool
Soulless existence...forever in pointless directions
Out of tune with true evolution
There are no answers, there is no solution

These are the last days of planet earth
(and) We will be there when they realize the truth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousell
These are the last days of planet earth

These are our last days
Twisted synthetic generation
Dead animatronic nation
These are our last days
Tapestries of tangled motion
Self-inflicted hate implosion

"The heart of a mystery is seen through imagination
but obscured by our inability to control chaos..."

We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousell
These are the last days of planet earth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousell
These are the last days of planet earth




12. Industrial Twilight

United we stand in shared perversion
The love of death - The paradise of Hell
This infinite limbo, like a great black engine
Ultimate abomination, no one here gets out alive

Let the posion arrows fall
Let the pillars of "heaven" crumble
Martyrs to no one but ourselves
We are the rusted pillars of a better tomorrow

Give me your crippled hand, and I?ll drag you into evolution
Compassion is obsolete, the answers are no longer true
To many sides to chose from, fascism in masked control forms
Paradise...prepare for deconstruction

Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom
Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life
Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh
Ours is the God of nuclear winter

Synthesized evolution of tomorrow
When we tried to become, the world turned negative
You were the words in my mouth
When I was just trying to save their world

Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom
Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life
Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh
Ours is the God of nuclear winter

"Once I was the carrier of wounds,
featherless and without direction,
Never a saint nor a saviour,
relentless in my search for a higher existence...
In a nuclear war...All men will be cremated equal!"
