Shunyata
05:54
|
|
||
only one thing is eternal
it is nothing
all things are empty
even nothing
hollow existence
no concept can grasp
shunyata
the ultimate void
shunyata
unlimited freedom
the end is endless
so are all truths
realities are unreal
so are all lies
abstract phenomena
absolute self
shunyata
the ultimate void
shunyata
perfect nothingness
dependently co-arisen
from the great blackness
independently ceasing
into the circle of madness
shunyata
the ultimate void
shunyata
infinite momentum

Silence Unmasked
04:44
|
|
||
I cloak myself in mystery
I cannot trust the human breed
take a deep look into my black eyes
you will not find what you desire
not a whisper, not a word
welcome to your personal babel
think of my mind as an avalanche
just one snowflake would suffice
to level all of your brain cells
my silence unmasked
is the loudest thing you'll ever hear
my silence unmasked
it will consume your every cell
the waterfall of words you spill
testifies your infantile insecurity
all those sounds will vanish in time
like feathers in a fire
think of my mind as a desert storm
one grain of it is just enough
to decorticate your bones
my silence unmasked
is the loudest thing you'll ever hear
my silence unmasked
it will consume your every cell

Escapathy
03:11
|
|
||
like
a steed in knee deep mud
a sewer rat in the trap
a hare in a snake's embrace
a firefly in a spiders web
I am caught
the urge to escape, it blazes inside
the apathy makes me feel ready to die
like
a gnu in lion's claws
an eagle in crosshairs
a whale on the sunny beach
a deer in the headlights
I am fucking doomed
the urge to escape, it blazes inside
the apathy makes me feel ready to die
shall I explode
is it worth for this miserable life
shall I give up
just let this end and release my mind
like
an ant on the pond
a moth in the light
a sparrow over the ocean
a newborn in the wild
the urge to escape, it blazes inside
the apathy makes me feel ready to die
I am lost

Lucid Entity
02:55
|
|
||
man is bonded
with its matter
but unconscious
of its spirit
consuming all vigor
from vessels of decay
disconnect flesh and mind
purified by demise
join the lucid entity
there is so much more to see
join the lucid entity
the only path to true ascension
nature's outcasts
driven by wrath
parasitic
blind to instinct
blinding light, flaming freight
celebrate disaster
new era of the few
breach limits of the bodily
join the lucid entity
there is so much more to see
join the lucid entity
the only path to true ascension

Genethic Law
04:32
|
|
||
by genethic law you are inferior to us all
sown and harvested like plants
you will serve as nutrition
when all animals went extinct
we needed a new source of meat
the key to life at our hands
we figured out nature's blueprints
selective human breeding
brought us new species
herds of which we keep
to sustain our needs
single-purpose humans
optimized for pleasure
by genethic law you are inferior to us all
sown and harvested like plants
you will serve as nutrition
the new genetic class system
forged a stable society
once we overcame morale
we ended hunger and poverty
our modern book of ethics
ensures our existence for centuries
human material is our new currency
single-purpose humans
utilized for vile work
collateral murder
has become a sport
by genethic law you are inferior to us all
sown and harvested like plants
you will serve as nutrition

Conscious Microverse
03:33
|
|
||
a cosmos within, created at will
by a mad and selfish god
expendable life, chained like a slave
existence is impossibly vague
in this conscious microverse
not a soul's life is deserved
in this very scorched world
any chance is crippled at birth
encapsulated, utilized
humiliated, left behind
the stars aligned by design
evolution's spark was just a farce
single-purpose universe
tumbling through the vacuum
in this conscious microverse
not a soul's life is deserved
in this very scorched world
any chance is crippled at birth
infinite, yet trapped
disenchanted, hopeless
brutality in truth
elusive knowledge
the world is on a thread
like the sword of Damocles

Determined
03:21
|
|
||
there is no purpose, we don't belong
spawned into chaos, looking for order
we're irrelevant in the eyes of time
don't cling onto life, we're all gonna die
engulfed in blackness, hostile and cold
autonomous life – an illusion of control
created by chance and it makes no sense
nothing to amend that can save us men
the doom, the doom, the doom is ours
we won't know if it's then or now
the doom, the doom, the doom arrives
determined to die
what we call culture
what we call real
is just our perception
behind its doors we're sealed
alas breaking free is just in our minds
unless we leave the physical world behind
we are but a blight, ready to be wiped
deserving to die, all our plights are lies
neither the past nor our future
can be changed as we so desire
we're stuck in a loop, doing what we do
entropy of life, nothing will remain
the doom, the doom, the doom is ours
we won't know if it's then or now
the doom, the doom, the doom arrives
determined to die
the horror, the horror, the horror is here
can't you see our destiny is drear?
it's time, it's time, it's time to retire
become one with the universe

Brittle Bliss
02:36
|
|
||
there can be
fatality in friendship
regret in generosity
and hate in a prayer
there can be
relief in dismay
gain within a loss
and warmth in isolation
brittle bliss
fragile woe
there can be
pain in pleasure
envy in gratitude
and fear in hope
there can be
salvation in harm
comfort in the dark
and beauty in brutality
brittle bliss
fragile woe
alternating between
countless states of mind
contradicting and fueling each other
and I'm the wick that burns

Walk Through the Mirror
05:48
|
|
||
he is mocking me, he is impersonating me
yet I fail to recognize who this man is
where right is wrong and left is right
there is no pain to abide
where there is immortal grudge
beauty meets the harshest judge
where light slowly fades to green
dark minds will find their peace
where souls reflect their every sorrow
time is only borrowed
its surface liquefies by a gentle touch
is one step forward one step too far?
I walk through the mirror
to reunite with my second self
I walk through the mirror
and smash it from inside
where two dimensions collide
there will be blind denial
where all settings of life invert
destinies get blurred
where four equal eyes arrange
guilt stares back in disdain
where silver silk coats the walls
pride invokes the fall
its surface hardens and gets fragile again
the world ahead is the world behind
I walk through the mirror
to reunite with my second self
I walk through the mirror
and smash it from inside
enter the physical suicide
leave the useless shell behind
pass the portal of sanity
I walk through the mirror
to reunite with my second self
I walk through the mirror
and smash it from inside

Amor Fati
03:48
|
|
||
humans are driven by their power
to shape reality
but if you turn the other cheek
reality shapes you
there is no plan of life laid out for you
by any fucking god
still you choose to blame his ways
as an excuse
give yourself up, bow down before your fate
the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati
accept the unchangeable, that there's no control
eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati
if solely the apprehension of change
paralyzes you
you are nothing but a puppet
that lives haphazardly
there is no plan of life laid out for you
by any fucking god
still you choose to blame his ways
as an excuse
give yourself up, bow down before your fate
the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati
accept the unchangeable, that there's no control
eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati
there is no god but the almighty self
it's got a hunger that can't be stilled
give yourself up, bow down before your fate
the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati
accept the unchangeable, that there's no control
eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati

Soul Hunger
05:34
|
|
||
this wilted land attracts
spirits of many kinds
the bloodstains of the fallen
inspire new odysseys
seeking an end to this curse
humanity is long gone
dragged into the abyss
an endless cycle of despair
vanquished and lost
beyond the white light
the demons inside
against the demons ahead
soul hunger
soul hunger
a currency that ever lasts
be wary of bravery
elation doesn't last
invaded by the past
the phantoms of revenge
the sun as ally
still, darkness is comforting
traversing the crest of death
to meet the end
vanquished and lost
beyond the white light
the demons inside
against the demons ahead
consuming what's left
in a useless shell
to be hollow
is to survive
soul hunger
soul hunger
a currency that ever lasts
soul hunger
