Ether
00:35
|
|
||
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

Redesign
01:23
|
|

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

Imprisoned In Skin

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
|

Interpolate
00:27
|
|
||
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
|

Corrosive Matter
00:57
|
|
||
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Outdated resource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

Genocide
00:51
|
|
||
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

Veins

|

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
|
||||

Maladaption
01:06
|
|
||
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

P.T.M.

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

Pseudo Shell
00:55
|
|
||
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
|

Prototype
00:42
|
|
||
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

Awakened Lens
01:30
|
|
||
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
|

Reconstruct
00:33
|
|
||
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
|

Grief
01:01
|
|
||
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

Fissure
01:06
|
|
||
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
|

Maimed
00:53
|
|

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
|

Role Reversal
01:11
|
|
||
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

Panspermia
00:45
|
|
||
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

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
