A flurry of ice and glass
My former self shattered
And entwined
A trail leads to the husk of my
My former self
My mind bound to the grotesque
A faint consolation, borne on wings of ire
My reign, calculating through all the options
Their sins regulated and given purpose
This hand, so concealed, controlls all actions
Free will, over time, just an illusion
Bracing for change
Manipulated conciousness
Frail recollections
Preservation of humanity
My furtive gaze now ever-present
My watchful eyes
Countless and without shape and form
A will bent to my bidding
My former self shattered
And entwined
A power unbeknownst to my
My former self
My mind bound to the grotesque
A faint consolation, wrought forth by flesh and bone
A constant battle
Waged between two minds
A desperate fate
Challenged only by the face
The outcome critical
Moral choices were made
Mankind still beckoning
Until the blackened end
My furtive gaze still everpresent
My watchful eyes
Countless and without shape and form

Release all your senses and invade into a state
Of abnormal reflections and cognitive dissonance
Unconsciousness brings new perceptions
Cosmic signals emerge like never seen before
Perceptions of clarity tearing through the ribcage
Eyes transcend through the veil of the echoing void
I am omnipotent, i am the bringer of enlightenment
I am omnipresent, beyond nature
I am omnipotent, i am the bringer of enlightenment
I am omnipresent, beyond nature
The whole universe is within my womb
Diversify physically holographic form
Give birth to your god
Eat the afterbirth
Give birth to your god
Become enlightened
Breeding new life
I am omnipotent, i am the bringer of enlightenment
I am omnipresent, beyond nature
I am omnipotent, i am the bringer of enlightenment
I am omnipresent, beyond nature
The whole universe is within my womb
Behold a new epoch
Inconceivable
New depths of time and space
Ageless forms have been shaped
Inconceivable
New depths of time and space
Cosmotheism reigns
Permeate through the gate of this new enlightenment
There is a universe inside of our minds
Abstracted sequences appear within our thoughts
Natural causality will get new conceptions
The whole universe is within my womb
Create a new life
Void of clarity
Intrinsic perceptions
We are the universe

Ingrained Absurdism
03:58
|
|
||
|
Incubated despondency
Obsequious ideology
Dominated since the outset
No concepts of progression
Urged into this lack of knowledge
Imperceptive viability
Intellectual limitations
Still forlorn and yet unborn
Lost in an abyss of unknowingness
An infant ideology
Based on a fact of
Flawed cosmology
Deconstruct of the mystic
Imago breaks through the mould
Bordering on totality
Is concealed as we strive for conception
If knowledge is power
And more all we need
How come we're devoured
By the hand that feeds?
Blatant absurdity of our reality
Translating metaphors without sense
Meaningless existence ceasing in senselessness
Futile at best, our eyes are deceived
Enigmas obscure perceptions
Entrenched in devoid of truth
Bordering on totality
Is concealed as we strive for conception
If knowledge is power
And more all we need
How come we're devoured
By the hand that feeds?
Confined in prisons to believe
Restricted view of the universe
The Periods of thoughts call to halt
Constitute the end of consciousness
New Spawn comes to life, implanted deceit
Futile at best, our eyes are deceived
Hereditary imprisonment
Imperceptive out from the womb
Detrimental root of all life
Absurdism fills all minds
Sisyphus beckons, our martyrs to come
This system will collapse, cleanse us from the earth
This system will cleanse us, reject our primal minds
This system will collapse, rearrange terrestrial life
This system will decay, shift our absurd form
Removing from the earth
Rebirth of higher life
Reconstitute the earth
Cleansed from terrestrial life

Planetary Reinvention
03:46
|
|

|
Time has come to regress from this balance
Immerge down to the light of eternity
Time has come to elapse
Forecasts from the past become present
Cosmic winds align
Drag through the abyss of all nothingness
Seperated from the hollow body
Converge all flesh into the inner minds
Womb for the moment of clarity
Reversing to preimage
All flesh will be detonated
Collapsing of our balance
This machine will run without us
Preach the last words of decaying
Planetary reinvention
Departure of our nucleus
Far beyond from all fixation
All flesh will be detonated
This machine will run without us
Planetary reinvention
The last alignment
Is upon our sphere
Time to behold the human termination
This is the final pestilence
The ancient forces succumb to our disease
This is the end of symbiosis
Forecasts from the past become present
Cosmic winds align
Reversing to preimage
All flesh will be detonated
Collapsing of our balance
This machine will run without us
Preach the last words of decaying
Planetary reinvention
Departure of our nucleus
Far beyond from all fixation
All flesh will be detonated
This machine will run without us
Planetary reinvention
Ingesting the earth planetary dissolving
Forecasts from the past become present
Ingesting the earth planetary dissolving
The apparatus of our world will stagnate
Subsidence of the earth

The Atavistic Tide
04:00
|
|
||
|
The fate of this earth is sealed now
Our organic faint life shall cease
We were an obsolete being just made to be replaced
Mankind was doomed from the beginning of existence
We are the summoners of death
We disgorge the web of chaos
The sands of our time running out
We need to explore new worlds
We became an atavism
Which is about to be removed
Tear away the veil made of our lies
We start to spark the flame of disease
Our eyes burn bright the skies crumble down with cosmic dust
We have failed to grasp that we will never sleep again
Our apparatus will be replaced
Structure and nature washed away
Deprivation of all our senses
Mechanized cerebral cortex
Drift through time, privy new spheres of this space
Exoplanets restart our life, repopulate
Discovering use for our kind, maelstrom of life
Exponential supremacy, a new awakening
We have reached the ocean of all knowledge
We were reborn into infinity
We were an obsolete being just made to be replaced
Mankind was doomed from the beginning of existence

Depravity through torment
Finite is this new awakening
Splicing, merging
Until a state of absolute perfection is reached
Carving a path through aeons
Old structures reshaped forcefully
Slicing, changing
Until a state of absolute perfection is reached
Decomposing so quickly
Soon no more, finally perceptionless
Snatching, fusing
Until a state of absolute perfection is reached
Depravity through torment
Finite is this new awakening
Splicing, merging
Until a state of absolute perfection is reached
Evisceration brings me closer to my achievements
View of the stars has never been enough
Still dreaming, so vivid
My fingers are still trembling
The spectacle mind numbing
I will have to rinse and repeat
Vivisection, my passion
Your end is not the casket
Rearranging every last piece
UntilIi will find the soul of man

Hematemesis

Tearing, shredding, clawing back unto the surface
Wounded, bleeding, preying upon my senseless being
The serpents eyes mesmerizing
At every glimpse
An iron gaze, venomous in itself
Calculating
Cold and willing
Never to veer from the goal
The fangs glinting
Death's grip reaches so silently
Piercing the surface
Past the epidermis
Scathing pain breaks free
Need to cauterize it
Deep beneath my skull
Sensations are rising
Actions based on this
Last, true grand deception
Tearing, shredding, clawing back unto the surface
Wounded, bleeding, preying upon my senseless being
Suffer unto me
My spite is endless
Suffer unto me
My victory means bondage
Suffer unto me
My spite is endless
Suffer unto me
My victory is doom
Feasting upon my carcass
With everlasting joy
My every breath haunted
By the serpents presence
Magnificent, majestIc
My body lies in shambles
The toxin, so alluring
My everlasting shackles

This has gone on for far too long
Melding genes, splicing out the waste
Preparing the pyres for the deceased
Still no boundaries in sight
Assimilation of all who oppose
Futility
Bring on the feast
Long without limbs
All on their knees
Anticipating
Facing our ceaseless conquest
The slaves shall soon
Bow before our endless might
Limitless swarm
Facing our ceaseless conquest
The slaves shall soon
Bow before our endless might
Constantly swarming
Countless species have become prey
Feeding our hungering machine
Preparing the tissues for the queen
Yet no boundaries in sight
Impervious to the weak's corruption
The hivemind guides
Witness the feast
Ignoring all pleas
All on their kness
Still procreating
Spreading, melding, changing
All for the
Glory of the queen
No savior shall come to the rescue of the
Miscreants and serfs within the boundaries
Of the universe
Facing our ceaseless conquest
The slaves shall soon
Bow before our endless might
Limitless swarm
Facing our ceaseless conquest
The slaves shall soon
Bow before our endless might
Constantly swarming plague

Piercing the essence of all that is empty and bare
My existence drained away
Bereft of all sense, yet i stare
Beyond the fires, the stars and cold
Soon this vessel shall be no more
I lie awake, festering and weak
Aons turn bleak, i descry yet i can't see
It still plagues me, all this power wasn't free
I can't withstand this all consuming rage
In search of my subjects' trace
My reason long laid to rest
The cosmos, my place of ceaseless anguish
Pure despair
The answer lies hidden deeply 'neath ancient
Masquerades
Grave errors, long forgotten, buried, repressed
My last will
This silence eats away at my last shreds of
Sanity
Plagues, for those who fled my reign
They still forsake my name
I loathe what I've become yet
The flames reach new peaks
Each time I shut my eyes
The darkness awaits
Antithesis of all
Bleeding, but I'm still awake
This torture, eternally prevails
Seperated and shunned
My gaze fixates on what I have become
Inapt, yet the source
My fate is to be finally worshipped
Total destruction
My final option
Dissatisfaction
Of those finite realms
Screaming salvation
Unfathomable nightmares

Inferiority Absolved
05:10
|
|||
|
The passage between stars is a complex science
A gift from gods among man, defying natural laws
Causality inflicted, curiosity has peaked
The thirst for knowledge overwhelming finally
Evergrowing
Paths towards infinity
Desecration
Of what those of faith believe
Scratch the surface
Of scientific frontiers clean
Spirits awakened
Sirens calling out to me
Arrogance punished
Rewards buried fathoms deep
No salvation
Arrogance punished
Rewards buried fathoms deep
Oblivon
Archaic genes
Structures buried perfectly
Dissipating
Gates that seperate from me
Mad with power
I despise these equally
Lesser motives
None shall earn my qualities
I've never felt weak
Isolation has turned me into
This immortal dream
No longer hidden deeply beneath
Potential so vast
Galaxies shall adore my dominance
I will never wake from this
Transformation into a deity
Extraneous limbs form
Horrific abnormalities
I am become flesh of
The path towards infinity
All these hopes of peace crushed
Beneath my iron mandibles
Nightmares have turned real I shall
Set a course for my forlorn homelands
My goal quickly forgotten
My reign brings endless suffering
Judgement brought down by torment
Offering chaos, so senseless
A scourge upon mankind
I know not of the meaning
I know only of joy
Seperated will from conciousness
Innocent flesh
Rent beyond form
Biomass accumulated
Disrupted genes stirring wildly
Chaos absolute reengineered
The ones spared sifting below
Their minds in mental mending
Last remnants of all mankind
What am I?
Dementia

Yes! Beautiful tech dm. All instruments can be heard, great mix. A lot of good death metal suffers from bad & blurry mixes. Better with each listen. Creative song parts and song writing. Will definitely stay on personal power rotation.
