1. Frames Of Reference
Devoid of life
The derivation
Of modern humans
A milignant cancer
I am the lord of silence
My body shrouds the night blue sky
Who makes the gods and death
I adore thee
I am the ending of the words
Tremble before me
Death is the seed from which I grow
Remove my flesh
I adore thee
Reveal my soul
I adore thee
Darkness inside death
Never to be heard
Arms and legs frozen
Safe in heaven dead
Death is the seed from which I grow
Who makes the gods and death
I adore thee
I am the ending of the words
Tremble before me
Safe in heaven dead
2. Consciousness Decay
Your moon is eclipsed
No more shadows
Only a crescent
Illuminates
Forgotten promises
To black devotees
Wearing away
Waging war
On behalf of fundamental truths wearing out
Hearing voices
Carrying songs
Mumbled on
Bloody tongues
Hearing voices
Carrying songs
Mumbled on
Bloody tongues
No control
Conscience decay
3. Twilight Of The Idols
Hope for the hopeless
Nature robbed blind
Rendered powerless
To make way for
An idea of the all powerful
To say nothing exists
Exploiting the narrow limitations of human reason
To create dependence
By the belief of
Your immaculate machine
Never breathed life into me
Subject habits
The idea of movement
A psychological habit
In anticipation
Subject habits
The idea of movement
A psychological habit
In anticipation
Giving me the illusion
Of consciousness
Hope for the hopeless
4. Silent Machines
Silent machines
Internalized
Deny yourself
Internalized
Sever the ties
Let the kingdom fall
Modern advances to better lives
Killing the will to live
Mass suicide
Marching forever blinded by
Technological contamination
Mother culture a stagnant carcass
Controlled by the fear of dying
Manmade patterns invade and consume
New dimensions in an aging disease
Silent machines intenalized to deny yourself
Silent machines intenalized to deny yourself
Your primal self conditioned to obey
Salivate at the foot of your master
Become the model prisoner
Sympathize your aggressor
Watching yourself die
As the pale horse rides
On let the kingdom fall
Modern advances to better lives
Killing the will to live
Mass suicide
5. From The Height Of A Thousand Years
My spirit lay
Within a shattered heart
Forever preserved forever dreaming
Waiting to be born
To walk the world
To touch a broken sky
Waiting to be born
Waiting to be born
Here we go into darkness
As visions fill me of a spirit
Always falling
Forever preserved
Forever dreaming
Trapped for eternity
Trapped in eternity
Waiting at the height
Of a thousand years
Waiting at the height
Of a thousand years
My spirit lay
Within a shattered heart
Forever preserved
Forever dreaming
Waiting to be born
To walk the world again
To tough a broken sky
Waiting to be born
Divine rupture
Divine rupture
To walk the world again
To tough a broken sky
To walk the world again
To tough a broken sky
Waiting at the height
Of a thousand years
My spirit lay
Waiting to be born
6. Before An Empty Throne
In the shadows of broken wings
The dead eyes of a skinless god
Give praise to the open flesh wound of oblivion
We've come so far crossing the plains of death
To find your empty throne
While the nations of the earth
While the nations of the earth
Are devoid of all feelings
Great destroyer take me away
Take me
Devoid of feelings
Existence escape this shallow body
Take me away
I've seen enough to know
I've seen enough to know your god is dead
Existence escape
This shallow body in the shadows of
Existence escape
This shallow body take me away
I've seen enough to know
7. The Final Sphere
Employing reverence
And caution to approach
God in man
We have gone where death cannot follow
A place without mirrors
Without a face to look
Beyond the shores of time
Into eternity
Where my slaughtered remains
No longer follow where I go
No one can follow
Where sin and guilt
Hold no truth
In a futute undefined
We are all embedded in the final sphere
Where thought no longer passes
Through a decaying mind
This is where I'll take you
Where an endless soul can escape a human god
This where I'll take you
Where thought no longer passes a dacaying mind
This is where I'll take you
Where and endless soul can escape a human god
This is where I'll take you
A place without mirrors
Without a face to look into eternity
Where death cannot follow
This is there I'll take you
This is there I'll take you
This is there I'll take you
8. Afterstaste Of The Emaciated
Vomit soaked dreams of perfection
Stain the procelain bowl
Of sorrow feeding upon our imperfections
Throwing back into our faces the putrid values
It was gifted
Skin deep and unnatural
We weep mourning
The glancing blows
Of a lance designed to mold
Urns carring the cure to a diseased body
As told by the godly dictators of the image factory
The aftertaste of the emaciated
Omit soaked dreams of perfection
Stain the procelain bowl
Of sorrow feeding upon our imperfections
Throwing back into our faces the putrid values
It was gifted
Of sorrow feeding upon our imperfections
The bile of the rail thin subjected on us
Vomit soaked dreams of perfection
Stain the prorcelain bowl
Of sorrow feeding upon our imperfections
Throwing back into our faces the putrid values
It was gifted
We are more than the flesh we keep
We are more than the desire of perfeciton s
Kin deep and unnatural
Vomit soaked dreams skin deep and unnatural
We weep mourning the glancing blow
Of a lance designed to mold
We are more that the flesh we keep
We are more than the desires of perfection
9. Synchronized Worlds
To be emulated
As living machines
Organic composites
Doomed to repeat
Have we been lost forever
Was this progress unrecorded
Lying awake inside myself
Integrate into magnetic polymer
Drifting through space
Forever doomed to repeat
Corollary delusions of life without death
To be emulated
As living machines
For eternal security organic composites
Within synthetic cognition
Every event a subset
To carry the formless will of God
Mind without body
Never to be seen
Forever doomed
Forever doomed to repeat
Corollary composites
Doomed to repeat
Have we been lost forever
Was the progress unrecorded
Lying awake inside myself
10. Instrumental
