Per Erebus 01:19

Enter the sick fleeting sentiments 
Of a culture paralyzed with fear
 The cycle of lunacy grinds 
 Through another revolution Meaningless solidarity shown 
 Only through convenience
 Binary promises of strength 
 Hollow as the adversary

 We float atop waves of outrage
 Only to crash back 
Onto the shores of ambivalence 
Crisis only matters when dictated 
 By the trends of manipulative simpletons 
I don't believe you and I never will again 

 I see behind those glassy eyes
 Nothing but a vomitous abyss 
The mask of ignorance blinds 
With the hammer of remembrance

 Melting down to madness 
We hide behind open doors
 Selecting the pain of the past 
For the illusion of concern

 We float atop waves of outrage 
Only to crash back onto the shores of ambivalence 
Crisis only matters when dictated By the trends of manipulative simpletons
 I don't believe you and I never will again 

Come, witness, a world of, irrelevance
 among, putrid, existence 

 Break free from this social experiment Clouding our minds forever

 We reveal pathetic narcissism 
 System failure, self destruc t

Enter the sick fleeting sentiments
 Of a culture paralyzed with fear
 The cycle of lunacy grinds 
 Through another revolution 
Meaningless solidarity shown 
 Only through convenience
 Binary promises of strength 
 Hollow as the adversary 

We float atop waves of outrage
 Only to crash back 
 Onto the shores of ambivalence
 Crisis only matters when dictated 
 By the trends of manipulative simpletons 
I don't believe you and I never will again

 Break free from this social experiment

Divine beings, signals from beyond
 Awakening the ancient one
 A great beacon emits from the stars 
 The summons are spoken

 Bellowing from the tomb 
 Echoes carve the air 
 Families drawn from home 
Into the depth of its lair 

 These sunless years have crippled his black wings 
Immobilized from a thousand years of suffering 
Negligent acts, destruction in effect
 Insects of man caused the creatures unrest

 Violent seed, embedded in the earth 
To preserve the blue world
 Grown under the foot of man
 Protector of this realm

 Parasites leeching every resource 
Interference by a greater force
 Wrath of man shall soon end 
Leviathan is summoned 

Bellowing from the tomb 
Echoes carve the air 
 Families drawn from home 
Into the depth of its lair

 These sunless years have crippled his black wings
 Immobilized from a thousand years of suffering 
Negligent acts, destruction in effect
 Insects of man caused the creatures unrest 

Divine beings, signal from beyond
 Awakening the ancient one 
A great beacon emits from the stars 
 The summons are spoken

 The old one sees all
 For he is here He has always been here 
Inside his Earthly lair

 Awakened into blind rage
 He ascends to the sky
 Great mass blocks out the Sun
 Free at last, He flies!

 Great power harnessed from the Gods 
Bestowed upon their son
 Sleeping under the waves of time 
Reclamation has begun

 These sunless years have crippled its black wings 
Immobilized from a thousand years of suffering
 Negligent acts, destruction in effect 
Insects of man caused the creatures unrest 

Divine beings, signals from beyond

Inveterate 02:41
Barely woken by primal rhetoric
 We sleepwalk to the edge Feeling our grasp tighten around the trigger Lacking the courage to let go We sustain and crave with human sacrifice Vindicate this culture of murder Downward we fall, absent minds rise As ideals of man collide Willpower seized in a coup of dignity Freedom of vicious greed We have been forced into this insanity By contempt of knowledge We sustain and crave with human sacrifice Vindicate this culture of murder Perverse distortions of reality Feed contrarian beliefs Contradiction over the rational Victory over the deceived Downward we fall, absent minds rise As ideals of man collide

Cast into the shadows 
 Shunned out by humanity A blasphemy of a man Holding vengeance in his hand An unholy abomination Planning one final task A last ditch vanishing act Fixated to his flask Confined to his lair His mind, absent of sanity A man driven by lies Only darkness in his eyes An immortal vision As he looks to the stone Deciding his fate
 And all that is known Precursor to extinction Knowledge to end it all The silence will soon spread As life comes to a halt A chemical reaction Only a drop is spilt His eyes closed As the glass hits his lips At last, the time has come An end to the world's pollution The mutation begins
 Hollow beneath the skin His magnum opus An elixir of life He buries the stone Along with hope for mankind Precursor to extinction Knowledge to end it all The silence will soon spread As life comes to a halt A chemical reaction Only a drop is spilt His eyes closed As the glass hits his lips A diabolical plague Soon the cells will split Your death is overdue Siege of the alchemist A chemical reaction Only a drop is spilt His eyes closed As the glass hits his lips A diabolical plague Soon the cells will split Your death is overdue Siege of the alchemist Cast into the shadows Shunned out by humanity A blasphemy of a man Holding vengeance in his hand An unholy abomination Planning one final task A last ditch vanishing act Fixated to his flask Precursor to extinction Knowledge to end it all The silence will soon spread
 As life comes to a halt A chemical reaction Only a drop is spilt His eyes closed As the glass hits his lips A diabolical plague Soon the cells will split Your death is overdue Siege of the alchemist

The first rays of a triple sunrise appear Beyond the mountain range Golden pillars ignite an auburn glow Like fire razing the sky Through these illusory flames I peer back into a different life, A distant light, constant strife, A planet forgotten to time The burden of humans has returned Come to reclaim me This arrogance, determined. Matched by my resolution To sabotage my peace Now I dwell in the peace of pristine nature
 Free from cancerous waste In the shadow of Gliese dignity is reborn In the embers of dissolution Through these illusory flames I peer back into a different life, A distant light, constant strife, A planet lost to the rising tide Time changes all 
 Decades pass, alone Forgotten memories Shift, planet spins Blissful form of creation Distant ship approaches 
 The burden of humans has returned Come to reclaim me This arrogance, determined. Matched by my resolution To sabotage my peace Man fears separation Solitude my home Sanctity reborn Free from the blue sphere cold Thought to be stranded Sent to bring me back Arrival upon a distant world Only to face my wrath Never to return Severing body from soul This endeavor ends Free from the blue sphere cold Time changes all 
 Decades pass, alone Forgotten memories Shift, planet spins Blissful form of creation Distant ship approaches The burden of humans has returned Come to reclaim me This arrogance, determined. Matched by my resolution To sabotage my peace

Colossal star extinguished Call to sacrifice From a molten cage of flames Sent to reignite Body forged in fire Recycled dead flesh Reborn inside the mountain
 Souls chosen to resurrect
 Destined to take flight Formed by the vulcan Forth to the afterlife Corpse reconstructed Body forged in fire Recycled dead flesh Reborn inside the mountain Souls chosen to resurrect Eruption of smoldering ash The great migration Fly like burning arrows Sent to pierce the sun Tear, transform, redesign As one, scorched wings take flight, rise! From the Earth's bleeding eye Emerge falcon of the red, sky! Eruption of smoldering ash The great migration Fly like burning arrows Sent to pierce the... Eruption of smoldering ash The great migration Fly like burning arrows Pierce the sun!

Elder mystic guides us
 Bringing visions of another time The deep blackness surrounds us Seeking wisdom from the other side Words of the mystic I dwell in the chasm of dilation Where the gods dare not tread Waiting at the cusp of reality For evil to behead Speaking forgotten knowledge In a dead tongue A prelude to the fall Recite forbidden scripture Let it be sung Desperate we heed the call Heaven, a delusion of the simian Hell is a manifest of complex spacetime Cataclysm cascades in the realms beyond all life Conjuring forth titans of armageddon Speaking forgotten knowledge In a dead tongue A prelude to the fall Recite forbidden scripture Let it be sung Desperate we heed the call At war with the immortals Find yourselves on the astral plane Earthly body gone, spirit remains Incantation spoken to the flame Awaken all of the sleeping gods! Evil stood mighty at the gates of our dimension
 Infinite and invincible immortals of war Their hopes of devastation and annihilation Incinerated in the beams of the quasar

Ad Astra 01:09

ALIVE! Deeper, and deeper still Mysteries revealed The helm expands into the distance The oscillations begun But with my grasp extended I feel the chill of its steel I am stretched but not torn Deeper, and deeper still Turning back through the cusp Time changes before my eyes Unraveling unity of space and time Severing me, from relativity At the precipice of velocity I plunge into the vortex Headlong into this chasm of annihilation On and through the ergosphere Beyond the event horizon I become one with this dissolution Tidal forces wash over me Increasingly devastating It's mounting brutality A sign of proximity A spherical mass of light draws near I won't have to endure much longer The truth revealed, dimensions unfold To expose the heart Drifting in the glory of the singularity All my past, present, and future flood my being This pain I carry of the world I've left behind So much to bare in this probabilistic foam As intrinsic as the regret that overwhelms me I feel the graceful harmony of this illusory reality The pure beauty of what could have been The complete fruition of balance and symmetry We died I let us die I wanted us to die We had to die Obtained the knowledge, peace eludes me The catharsis I crave remains unrequited I have not seen the source, I must fall deeper Nowhere more to travel outward, this frontier is inward Here at last among the pillars of stellar creation I realize I've passed through the gates of a mausoleum Though I stand alone, the sole memory of an existence I feel the panic of twenty billion souls desperate for rest Their hands guide mine To the locks on my helmet I feel my time has finally come We are one, we are one DESTINY!
