1.	Uploading of the Mind 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Individual thoughts Become nameless files Sentimental memories Overwritten with new data You can have my body, but leave my brain The thoughts I’ll carry to the grave All of my recollections have turned binary I live in ones and zeroes The residual incest The dying mother’s brain is copied to the female fetus The aging father’s brain is copied to the government built clones Uploading of the mind To redundant data hives Perhaps the servers all die Power generators fail Programmers tweaking code Of genetic diodes You can have my body, but leave my brain I will not hide from my grave Erasing the unborn Overwritten with greed and adult scorn Uploading of the mind To redundant data hives Uploading of the mind To redundant data hives Eternity, immortality, putting your brains in brand new bodies Format, all dead, reverse, nature Beyond, what’s left, eclipse, savior Release my mind
2.	Mistladen Pathways 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Gone - into the unknown Traverse the Earth to ease the curse, blinded as nature turns to worse Caress the freshly dewed clouds, amidst this pallid fog shroud Demons emerge from the shadows, preying eyes reveal in dim light Alone and navigating, warped worlds of death stagnating Their roars bellow deep Shaking the landscape clean of any minor glimpse of hope Thunderous footsteps crawl Tension grows unable to see further than you’re able to Reach - into the unknown Echoes grow louder, miasma starts to scald Acidic ground gives out, blood plasma implodes Demons show their faces, within this shroud of death Eyes glimmer painful, their blank stares bereft Their claws scathe in deep Poison numbs nervous systems, paralysis quickly sets in Eyelids fall heavily Unconscious on a mist laden pathway, became their prey An alternate world appears Where light shines through, where there is no fear An alternate world disappears Adrenaline brings brain back to reality An alternate world disappears Venom and murk seep into decrepit lungs This world becomes real No words can pass, no sight is seen Paralysis and doom soon meet Eyes sewn shut, a torturous scene Drenched in crimson crystalline As nature feeds
3.	Hydrosphere 06:24	lyrics	buy track
Open wide, embrace the sea Watch the waves and tides as they breathe Stand aghast, and man the levees Oceans are rising and start to breach Enter the hydrosphere Citizens run inward, don’t have an escape Those who reside, have put up their gates Emigrants enlist, wars are fought for land Still the rivers flow, and overtake the sand Your world starts falling apart Cities burning in flames Society has shattered Now as futile as primates As futile as primates Warring over shrinking plots of land As futile as they come Warring over shrinking plots of land Onward it flows Onward it flows Onward it flows Onward it flows, the hydrosphere It calls, the rivers, the nature, the world It falters, the towers, the buildings, all submerge The mountains, start falling, in landslides, upon the dirt No hiding, no running, ships are full, toppled and sunk No surprise, fear and chaos overload the boats Not enough to carry the burden of human cargo Enter the hydrosphere Enter the hydrosphere Hear everything drown Watch everything drown The planet finally at rest It calls, the rivers, the nature, the world It falters, the towers, the buildings, all submerge The mountains, start falling, in landslides, upon the dirt No hiding, no running, ships are full, toppled and sunk Now drown Watch everything drown Sink into the hydrosphere
4.	Empty Vessel 05:05	lyrics	buy track
Harvested wastelands, vacant of hope Weed-ridden gardens, infertile soils Carve out your flesh, extract the nutrients Take anything you can get Gasp in a breath, ease in the emptiness Suffocate in the fetid air Rake dead leaves, consume for power There’s nothing left in this dire hour Cannibals, cadavers for food Hunger leading all to swoon With nothing to eat drink or breathe We’re driving ourselves to bleed Exhale the elements, fevered and slow Weakening tectonics, crust brittle and weak Now that we’ve absorbed everything There are no means left to live Exponentially increasing our life spans The need for sustenance elevates as well The innards of the Earth have been raped We’re parasites on an empty vessel We’re vermin This world so quickly turned to gray Colorless lives seem so bleak This world is nearing to its end As is our race, and all sentience We are just parasites We are just vermin
5.	Scent of an Incubus 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Oh mistress, don’t you worry I’ll take gentle care of your flesh You might not sense me stalking In the stillness of my caress Lost in this madness of lust that you’ve wandered Rest your body and lay for a while Lower your head and adorn this pearl necklace Open up, let us sin and defile Scent of an incubus – you can’t help but follow Oh darling, why such a hurry? Don’t stray from our love divine Can’t you feel the distance closing? Let me into the depths of your mind Full now of me in this twisted position Bite your tongue lest I wretch it from you As we coil in a carnal transfixion Blood flows as your canvas is hewed So follow along, to this dark haven Let’s tend those wounds Once you’re better, consciousness returned You’ll thank me later Don’t, don’t you leave me now Soon others will catch my scent, and gather with torches in stow Let’s run Run, jump, fly away – into the sunlit morning Run, jump, fly away – my brainwashed devotee Harbor me as your partner, shelter me as your friend Inhale me in carnality, praise me as your god Desecrate the humanity, behind your vacant glance Broken and bleeding you’ll sink in the sand I bury your body then escape in flight Take just one bone to my assortment to add Then depart and blend in the night Scent of an incubus – you couldn’t help but follow Scent of an incubus – you couldn’t help but follow The mob assembles at your grave, but there’s a weak one in the back The eyes gaze approvingly, so I clutch another one in my grasp
6.	Finite Collapse 03:39	lyrics	buy track
All matter expanding outward From the origin explosion Do boundaries exist? When will we reach them? Expansion infinite End in finite collapse All matter collapsing inward From the reaches of all stars Boundaries were met Now time and space collide Skies storming meteors of death, beauty in the painful whole Ground quaking molten creaks of the end, the universe starts to implode Glowing brighter, again forming, one mass star Expansion infinite End in finite collapse No humans left to know how the story ends All the matter of all time collects again To explode in a bright array of creation Devours the words and history of our habitation The universe reborn And light returns The worlds all burn
7.	Agglomerate 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Political machinery, marks eminent domain Steals from those above to spread prosperity Youth take the bait, submit to their will Think “hey if it benefits us, we may as well” Bit by bit Oligarchic monopoly, receives all the funds CEOs are ousted, a faceless agent takes the head Raping innovation, tearing at the flesh of thought They won the impoverished, now reverse the trend State by state They’re coming, they’re coming Repossess your property Take ownership of your family The feast becomes your burden They took every bit that you willingly gave Won their battles then abandoned the masquerade Pockets lined and power consolidated You’ve nothing to your name but they’ll take that too The free market savior is long lost The elected give themselves eternal terms Protests form but are quickly silenced Into the stillness of wretched mass graves So just give in, give in, give in or die Just give in, give in, give up To be at peace, just give up everything
8.	Cease Being 06:36	lyrics	buy track
Wake today to the sun, how did I earn the light? Each ray dismayed to waste, each second a lie Tonight’s the time for I to wash away, against the feeble tides bruised in dismay Emotions swell, a surge comes forth to quell, uphold the rings to my death knell Lighting fires aloud, atrophy from my cloud Tearing out your world, in fragmentizing quarrels Your heads harrowed low, I remember, the times of which we used to splendor You’ve all traveled much too far, we always seem to encounter my harm Years pass and still in lunacy No changes in life mold the signs The burden bubbles underneath Your medicine could never cure Those around try to pull closer, I push away indifferent, colder The deeper you dive, darker it gets, drowning in this cerebral cesspit Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason Let go of life and set you all free I’ve inflicted enough damage in this life, this pallid inflection of my misspent time Still brooding inside my shell of cowardice, fantasizing of death to be at rest Breathing slowly and silently, breathe it in Bleeding slowly and silently, keep it in Translucent skin starts to burn true This desperate hopelessness is shown Deafening silence fills the room I grab the tools and wait for the tide Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason Let go of life and set you all free “Don’t worry, I’ll go alone and quietly There is no need for drama, just a need to be free Escape, run away, or sit and witness a death” A final warning with my pitiful breath
9.	Orbit 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Someday I’d like to put my feet on the moon Toes in the lunar sand, I hope that day arrives soon A mission taken, a goal in life achieved The mere attempt is far good enough for me Preparations are currently complete As I await my solar fleet, to go in orbit Launch time is now, the countdown has begun I’ve buckled tight and there farther goes the sun The clouds grow brighter, passing through their air Arriving at a new level of atmosphere Wave goodbye, regardless that they can’t see my eyes Blackened skies, the void called space all outside Sensors are chirping, heat levels arise This can’t be right, this isn’t right Oxygen levels slip, windows start to fog This can’t be right, this isn’t right, this is fucked - in orbit Herald the escape pod, technological savior at work The engine shuts down, movement and time is stilled Our planet grows in vision, but I have failed This mission went to waste, for my life I had to bail Radioing in, speaking with the charge The captain swift at hand and always on guard His penetrating words, scathe me to the bone Sound ceases in my fright, what do I still not know? In orbit I now know what he knows, this pod was not meant to escape Arriving in the stratosphere, this pod and I incinerate
10.	Cryonic Embalming Chamber 06:03	lyrics	buy track
Caught at the finish of life, before the journey to the end No sympathy can remedy, the imminent fade to death Distant thunder, roars from the barren fields of fatality Isolated grief, rears its pallid wretch of insanity Sickness to perish, freeze me until life Cryonic embalming chamber, frozen to death Twisted spine of weakness, bent and scarred over time Feeble human body has aged, needs a savior of cryonic design Cancerous stigmas, suffer the guilty as everyone’s guilty Personal indulgence, brought me to my knees beckoning for a second chance We must know, there’s no cure, there’s no answer Liquid nitrogen fills my chest Rage and greed, affording, embalming Frozen Egyptian mummification tomb Dark, blind, dead - life fades out Dark, blind, dead - for the prize Dark, blind, dead - soul heads south Dark, blind, dead - spear my eyes Sickness to perish, freeze me until life Cryonic embalming chamber, frozen to death By my choice, I stepped in, to this chamber To be thawed when a cure can be found Yet my voice, is a lull, and it’s hopeless Sinking in crystal particles soon to drown A corpse, floating in my concatenation Into the light I’d hoped to escape Now my frigid indoctrination Has caused my life to fade to gray
11.	Twenty Forty 08:01	lyrics	buy track
I don’t recognize my face anymore - I must regain my consciousness today We’ll storm the rising towers, upon your starlit clouds To collect a reason for this all Stare through the windows in awe, about the machines we saw That we’ll become in due time I can’t believe - what I’m seeing, can’t be real Break down the door to the lab, your sorry faces in hand Gored and mounted on the walls Rip out the wiring that wreaths, a full control over me As we make a swift escape away I can’t believe - what I’ve seen, can’t be real Realized this can’t be the one command center The networked routers change paths, wires, and senders Even if I’m cured I know I’m craftily engineered The human soul is minimal, the bionic pioneer Implanted - we are all fake Bionic - this is our fate We are all fake, this is our fate We are all fake, this is our fate The circuitry awry, our spirits return to mind Time allots to regain, self-fulfilled titan’s strength Implanted - we are all fake Bionic - this is our… Circuitry awry, our spirits return to mind Time allots to regain, self-fulfilled titan’s strength Utilizing these legs, manufactured appendages Flesh and platinum twine Stomp across your labs with my wrought iron fists Constructed of your own chemical ionic bonds Paltry humans knocked back by psionic wits Decapitated and thrust to space beyond You haven’t paid enough Annihilate the guilty scientists who run Those cowards end humanity and opt for supremacy World domination to you shined down from the sun Your fail safe for me is gone, there’s no end to my killing spree I have lost my will I sense my power is fading, my body is not my own to control The overlords have cast me down My frail human remains, the bionics shut down and self-destruct Fade into memory
