Earthbound
Contemplate the events in the sky
How the lights in the sky do not change
As the mountains melt, like wax in a flame
The watchers trembling, again
Consider the Earth, and understand
How determined from beginning to the end
Contemplate the mineral sphere
Filled with water, shrouded by clouds
The Earth will sink
The Earth will sink
In seas of blood
In robes of smoke
The hills be made low
At its proper time
::Now we are bound to the Earth
In exile from the stars
And buried in stone
For generations, generations::
Contemplate the leaves of the trees
And the bearing of the seed from the fruit
And how they shall be trampled underfoot
On the velvet dark of desire
Impregnated by the sons of the sky
They learn the cutting of the root
Promiscuity, running wild
Monstrous with desire
The Earth complained
The Earth complained
In seas of blood
In robes of smoke
Molten flow
Purified with white heat
::chorus::
Three thousand cubits high
Devour the toil of man
Colossal lust they could not sustain
As the vines crack the mortar again
Contemplate the sky
The stars stay true to their course
As they rise and set
At their proper time
Contemplate the events of the sky
The stars on their course
As they rise and set
Paradise restored again
Noble Rot
Replicated, the spawn of the lower star
Embodied vessels to carry the wine,
Embryonic features, Synthetic human entity
Subjugated, the ones from the lower star
Delivered unto Utopia
Destined, destined to Failure
Complex mystery
Signalling
Psychoterrorism, information dominance
Life in a laboratory, so sterile
Cultivating, Cultivating
Sex cells injected with technology
Connected neurological nexus
Bow down unto Utopia
Bow down to shoulder the burden
To live
To breath
Inside this head
My skin my sheath
The living grey
The viscous clot
Carry the cup of Noble Rot
Sun Gate
Spiralling into focus
Radiation burn my cells
I am the thirteenth generator
For me, temples you shall build
Incandescent nuclear fusion react in my core
Gravitational collapse
To create, I destroy
::Guard of the Dawn
Open the Sun::
Falcon-headed I appear
To walk the realm of man
You were born from my tears
Shaped in dust by my hand
Through photosynthesis
I become your flesh and bone
Throw the switch, Heliopolis
Power's coming on
::chorus::
Remember man, to dust you shall return
As I turn the sand to glass
As your cities burn
Illuminated by technology
To ashes I erase you
Your world is just my dream
Guard of the Dawn
Open the Sun
The seventh one
Open the Sun
Beast Heart
"My spirit is troubled to know the dream-
if you do not tell me my dream,
you shall be cut into pieces"
"Only the gods can tell you your dream,
their dwelling is not with the flesh,
no man on Earth could tell you"
::Let his heart be changed
Let his heart be changed from man
Let a beast's heart be given
Let a beast's heart be given unto him::
Let seven times pass over
A head of gold and legs of iron
A vision of the night, a secret revealed
Do you see the angel who walks through the fire?
Destroy not the wise ones, I shall interpret your dream
::Chorus::
To keep the time
To command the season
with dilation of perception
the visions of my head
::Chorus::
Reveal the vision of destiny
and what should come to pass
Know the thoughts of thy heart
of thy heart
and the light that dwells within
Immortality & the Worm
"Behold, man has
become like one of us,
Knowing of lust,
of evil and of good"
Programmed cell death
Dramatic burst of blue
Glowing fluorescence
To flow in peace or woe
"As gods you shall be,
You will not surely die
As you shall eat of me
And open wide your eyes"
Helminthian
To live & feed from host
Deep in labyrinth
Of winding flesh tunnels
Suspense in paradise
And from the skin emerge
To keep the end at bay
Deliver healing herb
::Perpetuum
Eternal return
Cycle of Life
Immortality & the Worm::
"Behold, man has
Become like one of Us"
Synthesis of man & machine
Ouroboros
The post-human dream
::chorus::
"Cursed is the ground
In vain you eat of it
all the days of your life,
And a flaming sword
Will guard the gate of the East"
The Vault of Time
Welcome to
this hollow shrine
Civilization
Return to Dust
Enter here
As you have before
Enter the cycle of Rise and Fall
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lay me to rest
In the vault of time
Til I rise again
O Cosmic Vine
Grant me a taste
of Flesh & Death
Portal to the sun
O Shining One
with charcoal lips
Robes of iron vaporise
Number has arrived
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lay me to rest
In the Vault of Time til I rise again
O Cosmic Vine
Grant me a taste
of Flesh & Death
Down through the spheres
I came to thee
Shimmering, offering technology
For what has been is what will be
O Star of the morning
Pour forth thy flame
Reach ever upwards
Unto the Sun
Pillar of Severity
Held high, the cube
Dark glistening
And filled with flesh
Writhing within
Jet black
And set, with meteoroid
Hot sweat
Dripping sweat
To flood the void
Catastrophically re-arranged
Eliminate the Golden Age
:To taste the cup
Of Gravity
Oscillating back
Pillar of Severity
And through the cube
You will see
Oscillating back
Pillar of Severity::
(Daniel Martinez solo)
Satellite, Purple Dawn
Arrival of distant sun
Time is the first measure
"You shall have no diverse weights & measures"
Immortal orgy
Erupting rosy contortions
Saliva dripping, Bacchus blushing
Saturnalia prevail
Ancient & Primitive
A ritual of orgasmic sin
Inside the Erotic Cube
The Lords of Cultivation writhe
::chorus::
Held high, the cube Dark glistening
And filled with flesh
Writhing within
Jet black
And set, with meteoroid
Hot sweat
Dripping sweat
In ecstasy
The Grand Design
The eyes of a foreign form
Manipulate the genome
To look inside, forevermore
Discussing with
Strobing tongues
Auditory
Hallucination
to the Threshing floor, the floor
Rebellion in caverns
on a path of bronze murder
Multiplicity, The Grand Design
The chemical-electrical
activity of the heart
The signal sent from cortex
Communicate the black flame
Light sensitive retina unfolding
the signal sent from the threshing floor
The threshhold of an era
Information warfare theory
Electromagnetic
The Grand Design
Subliminal
Pulled to a trance with frequency
Decimate
Behavior alteration
Mutate to Override
The body is
complex system,
bright shining with splendor
and gleaming amber rays
On Wings of Morning
Rising to the surface
I can see the light
Traveling at the speed of sound
I explode from my grave
Subterranean
Equilibrium
A flame bound to a mountain
Cavernous chambers there
Where I was held
My body a planetary balance
Electric controller
Sedate me no more
::Awaken now
Shed delirium
World above
Beckon me to rise
Fantasy of life
Torn away from my mind
Shattered gateways
On wings of morning::
Plasmoid Mimicry
I know your game
Meet me in the fields
For war in heaven
::chorus::
Subterranean
Equilibrium
A star bound to a body
Rising through the air
I explode from my grave
My body a planetary balance
The Glistening
From my eyes the rivers flow
mineral deposit coursing slow
From the jagged rocks I feed
disintegrating into me
The light of the morning falls
to the water, refracting all
"Together they further plotted
against the Gods,
But the spheres overheard,
and began to lament their fate"
Exploding, bending
coursing slow
sharpening in 7 rays
Imploding, suspending
chromatic aberration
in the folding light
::Radiating, without a name
Two waters rose
The Glistening
As light descends
To vapor's rise
Hot pulse of breath
The Glistening::
From my cloven body rise
Vault of heaven and midnight
and from the jagged rocks I feed
disintegrate into me
Inverted Illusion
fecundity of the dead
::chorus::
A covenant of salt
Two waters coalescing
Writhing in ecstasy
Dual deity commingling
Chaos, mother supreme
Her ribs to cage the sea
and from deep underground
her body filled with poison
To sacrifice with salt,
She roared from the deep
A pillar petrified
a Serpent of the Sea
