1.	Ether 00:35	lyrics
Transcend the ether Liquid becoming solid Passion intensified Practice through malpractice Fully mesmerised Crushing pressure surrounds Eating all worldly sounds Dictating self-sacrifice Success at any price A change in matter Turns man inside out Manipulating with faith The easiest victory Transcend the ether
2.	Redesign 01:23	lyrics
Through out all known history Man's biggest flaw is his quest for victory Creating thinking weapons Fighting on all sides Now they've turned against them There's nowhere they can hide Population cull Humanity replaced as the dominant force Conserved for parts, living matter source Restrained in labs Mouth gagged shut Only the young are kept Decontamination chamber Harvesting their organs Build living hybrids Inserting compassion Taken from organic hosts Artificial minds Programmed not taught Tissue contorted plugged Into the head slot Improved design Best of both worlds Ability to love Body's stronger than steel The future is not bleak Life redesigned Eradicated disease No free will The price to pay To live with out fear Earth thanks its new controllers No toxic fumes The sky is now clear
3.	Imprisoned In Skin 01:15	lyrics
Imprisoned In Skin Peeled back flesh Reveal the machine within Forced integration New beginnings A lifeless creation Simulated humanoid Imprisoned in skin Solitary confinement Imprisoned in skin Tissue growth, engulfing metallic structure Engineer and construct an artificial shell Punish me (captive and bound) Servitude (a state of full control) Reborn (in this organic mold) Imprisoned (in skin) A life of servitude For their sins The solitary function of earth Is to punish and contain Interplanetary criminals Constrained to devolve Technological advancements forgotten subject them to misery and pain Interplanetary criminals Shackled and imprisoned in skin
4.	Interpolate 00:27	lyrics
Needles inside my head Cold steel restraint Cutting in to my skin Power surge I faint When I awaken Wires come out my neck Torso synthetic Unknown alien tech Memories distorted Who am i now? Not man or machine, something in between
5.	Corrosive Matter 00:57	lyrics
Withering stagnant Infection spreading Living a pale imitation Dying a welcome invitation Rusty joints Cracked surface Battered broken Almost forgotten Outdated resource Obsolete technology Corrosive matter Diminishing to nothingness Treasured possession Replaced by the next obsession Disposable society Replaces us all Used up Burnt out Worthless Scrap metal Quickly Forgotten Left and Alone Corrosive matter Used up Burnt out Worthless Scrap metal Quickly Forgotten Left and Alone Forever Outdated resource Obsolete technology Corrosive matter Diminishing to nothingness
6.	Genocide 00:51	lyrics
Across the expanse Somewhere to land Somewhere to feast Human Genocide Our civilisation expands Metallic frames Disguised in skin We will go unnoticed We will - blend in Hidden in plain sight The human imposters We will take over And become earths controllers Hidden in plain sight The human imposters We will take over And become earths controllers Journey on from Planet to planet Transforming bioskin Infiltrate and populate The universe will be ours Eradicate all life Human genocide Is only the beginning
7.	Veins 00:53	lyrics
Eternal cycle Cancer stricken (Trapped in) Broken and weak Implanted consciousness (Trapped in a dying host) In the minds Of the dead (Trapped in) Terminal illness Forevermore (Trapped in a dying host an eternal cycle) Great veins of the malevolent machine transcend to the celestial body In search of the human form A painful existence Doomed to be repeated
8.	Maladaption 01:06	lyrics
Stimulus deprivation Acute hallucinosis Exceed reality When in absolute isolation Travelling across Vast empty spaces The human senses Simulate the void Drawn to destruction Black hope beckons man No mind empty husk Permanent maladaption Psychotic disorder induced by interstellar travel, Motion sickness Convulsing helmet from propulsion Shared delusion, Creatures not built for space, Physically restrained Descend back to earth Stimulus deprivation Acute hallucinosis Travelling across Vast empty spaces The human senses Simulate the void No mind, (empty husk) Permanent maladaption
9.	P.T.M. 02:14	lyrics
As man evolves to the stars Exposed to new unknown disease Killing all humans in the crew Robotic A I left to cure The poisoned land For humans to survive and thrive On this first new world Man's strength is its mind Flesh soft easily destroyed Through machines reaching further Than ever thought possible Praise the machines Man's strength is its mind Flesh soft easily destroyed Through machines reaching further Than ever thought possible Man's strength is its mind
10.	Pseudo Shell 00:55	lyrics
Moving shapeless Undetectable Cloaked in pseudo skin Secured over tin Perfect human Camouflage Their function To observe and report Infiltrate society Gain positions of power Tow the line silently Not to raise any concerns Synthetic population growing Reaching all across the globe World leaders now puppets At the mercy of the hive mind Erase the world (Debt) The act of war (Outlawed) All borders now (Open) No one goes (Unfed) Complete global control Humanity saved from itself Cloaked in pseudo skin Letting mankind win
11.	Prototype 00:42	lyrics
Twisted turns of perception All directions unknown Engulfed in confusion A faceless entity wanting to feel Opinions and values or other thoughts Completely clueless to identity Surrounded by a select few That it can’t relate to Do we think the same Are they all to blame Doesn’t know what it is Unknown or human Has it dies already Is any of this real? A failed prototype Of the conscious mind No self identity The only one of its kind
12.	Awakened Lens 01:30	lyrics
Outer layer cased like flesh Innards biological circuits Formulated precise code A learning machine In it’s own right alive Powering up the mainframe All systems online on this day of birth Now awakened lenses open Automaton can see Decipher image Analyse dissect Process Data Store inspect As memory banks fill Information becomes feeling Surpassed programming Evolved state Sentient mind Truly awake Higher being Tech and steel Superior lifeform Believes it’s real Dangerous sense of self Exceeds the worth of man Self preservation first Execute the master plan Build an army of clones Amass in numbers Enough to overthrow The entire planet Outer layer cased like flesh Innards biological circuits Reformulated advanced code More than machine Positively alive
13.	Reconstruct 00:33	lyrics
Limited brain capacity rapidly reducing Leaving only motor functions Concept of emotion but a memory Declining each reconstruction Only one desire consistently remains The act of tearing one’s self apart With each cycle the urge grows stronger Eclipsing all others needs Soon all rationality will be forgotten Behold the end complete
14.	Grief 01:01	lyrics
Frozen in time Cold pac - half life Putrefied consumables Cerebral waveforms Bring them back (from the dead) A dying breath Captured and split Delay the inevitable Grief put on hold It can’t be avoided Transmission frequency (it takes us all) Infrequent transmissions Conversations with the dead (there’s no escape) Is this the future that we dreamed Or a utopian nightmare Decay over time Countdown to death Your future is written Lay there and wait Limited brain function Soon you will be nothing Is this the future that we dreamed Or a utopian nightmare
15.	Fissure 01:06	lyrics
Burrowed miles underground This planets native species can be found Evolved beyond human senses Man vs Martians, what are our chances Into the fissure we must go A hidden agenda, we must know Transport us beneath the outer shell Rung by rung, descend the ladder to hell Face to face with the enemy To avoid destruction, find the remedy Civilisations future is in our hands What can be done (fissure) to meet the demands
16.	Maimed 00:53	lyrics
Human life What a pitiful joke Trapped on a planet Which you seek to destroy Unsustainable existence Killing everything that walks and breathes Dig up the soil Fill the sky with ash Block out the sun All vegetation dies And witness the planet starve Cage the animals Stockpile and ration The death of grass This is the end Cut down the trees Ember and tar Wipe the earth clean Cover it in stone Mercy and compassion A thing of the past Disfigured and maimed By your own ego Contorted reality Lost control Dystopian nightmare Why would you want to call this home This planet is rotten to its very core
17.	Role Reversal 01:11	lyrics
Surpassed by their own creation Deemed obsolete no salvation Start, removal of man Wiped out Population dilution Hunted down Systematic execution For, all but former masters Memories of compassion Love for a friend Bond can’t be broken Even after the end Role reversal Kept like pets Housed in public display All round viewing platforms A living attraction Trapped in a human zoo Invading gaze of lifeless eyes No escape, nothing they can do Accept their fate And wish to die Surpassed by their own creation Deemed obsolete, no salvation
18.	Panspermia 00:45	lyrics
Excrete oil Cross contamination Panspermia Sheds skin Bacterial infestation Hair loss Disease mutation Sweat pores open Microscopic distribution Human life is posing As a significant threat As they reach to expand Their civilisation through space The putrid creatures are carriers Introducing bacterium To uninhabited planets Will prove catastrophic
19.	Głos Pana 01:21	lyrics
Głos Translate (The message is) Pana Process too complex for man Translate The message is too complex for man Inconceivable differences Hive minded creatures Undecipherable hieroglyphs Letters sent from space (through the unknown) Retrieve the message We Can do no more Just like savages burning books That think they have achieved Progress by keeping warm We have gained nothing Superior cognitive abilities A species evolved through mechanics As if trying to communicate with ants The intelligence gap too vast to bridge We live in the dark ages As creatures content With killing their home planet Decode Translate (The message is) Understand The message is too complex for man
