1. BORN 1010011010

Within the Gaea, we rest in secrecy, tied as a spirit-based existence
We are still waiting at the edge of misery, with tire some patience.

Sleeping plasma tranquillises our deep-carved pain
Monsters of wisdom slowly grow 'til our minds are drained
In this gallery of paintings - only empty frames remain
As a perception of non-existence

In this dark virtual vault, we are fed with ultimate mental energies
To revitalise our frozen minds - ghosts full of prophecies

Birth of primeval elements, split calyx of extinction
New source of life spreads above the dead-time junctions
Ambrosia feeds the brain! Silent echoes live in darkness
Following days are the same. Dimmed lights, dark tyranny
When shell we recognize the glacial shards of our frozen pasts?
For now we saunter vainly in the knowledgeless wasteland
One cannot find the answers to questions unknown, undefined
Almighty gods rejoin us: What had thou have made us for?


2. SPIRITLESS

The raven bevies meet to bury blooming summer
And to welcome, the gales of arctic north
For the bright pure reason, of imposing men
Have passed away barely blink, of an eye ago

The winter dawn fiercely hunts those
Who want to prolong their miserable lives

My memories are blurred almost unremembered
All existence is gone with dead cortex
The yearning souls hunger for another bright day
As world approximates its winter apex.

Anxious spirits mourn the decay of marvellous life
As the shadow of eternal sleep falls on the countryside

We change winter dreams to reality, now the time has come.

Their inner selves are trodden down by dark grey skies and heavy rains
All forms of life just vaporize; will to live flies into death’s chains.

As grim time of frozen sunrise, dances with endless misty gloom
Dying shadows cannot breathe, in the aeon of paralysed sun and lost moon

We change winter dreams to reality, now the time has come.
Anxious spirits mourn the decay of marvellous life
As the shadow of mortal sleep falls on the countryside.

The winter dawn, fiercely hunts those
Who want to prolong, their miserable lives

For when the Sol, is devoured by the clouds
And fog hazed the, rest of its beams

Once this god hides his corpse
Beyond the skyline, land of shadows fades


3. MINDECHOES

Despondency and disconsolateness of time
Rally of daemons within myself that I cannot deny
Nightmares instead of dreams my soul had descried
First time I'd took a journey through my dark fouled mind
Daemons of time
With synthetic substance for authentic delights,
My corpse became paralyzed, my mind befall benighted:
Strange memories inborn, my mind confused and frowned
Alien visions implant too deep inside my world
With perception deformed, to mysterious shapes recalled
I conceal in the dimness of vast outlandish grove:
For solitary here I rove, guiles of the dusk silently I enjoy
Lower I stray, the more I sense: abstract vibrations, ungodly strain
Ghoulish midnight of my trance
I am taken to the spheres where the spirits of yore meet
Their nature awaits me, me to fathom
My dark fouled mind

The irreverent temptation of boisterous shrieks
Like a Siren's chant to my ears seems
Hence thy lovely creature appears
When my astral body an ebon dome nears

For nightbird sings from loftiest tree -
I became something you cannot see
Restless shade of my sleepless life -
I had relinquished thee!
Embraced by nocturnal breeze - we were wed
Outside of netherworld - thee I’ve led
For thy curse was heard - I still have no ease:
I wander ‘cross the boundless space - to find eternal peace

5. IMPLANTED REVERIES

Once they'd changed the cipher of life
As they'd removed the acumen from the double spiral
Shortened the existence;
Thus we fail to remember wisdom we'd possesed

Natural intelligence degenerates over millennia
And entombed wisdom lies deep under the shadow of arrogance, we breed our souls
Primitive dogmas murder the culture their crawling terror blinds the instincts
Flesh and essence in seeds of soul, in pre-programmed destiny they clandestine
No one hunts there on that sacred ground to expose cloaked demons to unravel the old ones.
Behind the veil that covers human minds, concealed information, about the past
Of the humanity, of the architects, of the creators lies unknown

Constant changes slowly kill the fear from the xenophobia
All deserted minds shall decease.

Travel without moving, communicate with no words
Grasp tormenting emotions, share pleasures and ecstasy
Travelling without moving, communication without words
Waves of brainfields, forgotten art of harmony.
Grasp tormenting emotions, share pleasure and ecstasy
Inearthed eons of enhancement, buried gifts from gods
Shall rise again like a nova rises from the dust of a dying star
Shall rise again like novas rise from the dust of dying stars
As the stars seek their path


6. CRYOTOMB

After we'd descent from the orbit to the arctic planet horizon
We've seen faint sun dressed in blood upon the icy surface mirrored

We encountered ruins of supreme ring-shaped polis, built in exquisite symmetry
City was fallen one edifice remained
A building that could serve only as one thing: as the temple of Divine
We entered the shrine of horrid sights:
Dreadful statues of hideous reptiles.

Portraits of ancient beasts
Who watched our steps on sacred floor with cruel eyes
Alley adorn by 'em leads towards the glacial cell
That hides the key to final state of our torn minds

While lurid frost sues the beloved chill night
And undying midnight speaks through the cries of the storms
Magical sign of the wanton ruins shall invoke millenniums old horrible curse

Neither gracious deceased beast entombed in the ice
Before our eyes can redeem this doom:
Creations of mine, thy spirits lived sepulchred, in the graves of thy homes
Your waiting was endless: no love, could enter your hollow hearts.

My creations, thy spirits lived sepulchred in the graves of thy bones
Your waiting was so endless: no love entered your hollow hearts
Still you are guests here in the realms of pain
All tears are useless, right as I weep bloody rain.
You had to struggle to stay alive on burdensome, path thee had to tread on
Aeons passed by till thee recovered this place
Only here real way commence
Confused by emotions...
Thy souls that are constantly betrayed by own faith and desires
Shall find the recompense at the freeing end of this final voyage

Final illumination - guide to to the hidden haven,
I shall provide thou for - Without flesh you follow!

You had to struggle, to stay alive, on burdensome path, thee had tread on
Aeons passed by till, thee recovered this place: only here, real way commence!

We entered the shrine of horrid sights: dreadful statues of hideous reptiles


7. BEWILDERED REASON

Thus creators of life were expelled as cruel despots reigned our shattered realm:
They had bound the people's minds, in cocoons of materiality
They had incarcerated, our flesh on a sole rock

They'd erased our memories and eviscerated our essences
To bury every individual in stench of spiritual swamp

Mediocre beings that have destroyed the Earth face
Transformed the thralls to slaves and cultivated new race

This crisis brought new age: depraved existences of the wicked men
Desolate refugees fatal realm and mighty tyrants safe in own cells

Behaviour of thralls is controlled through mephitic procedures of infant lobotomy
Intellect of man is drained into - secret treasury of dark sanctuary

While feasting on our fragility
Our sorrows and pains the lords belittled us
The last struggling clan.

From the darkest mist bemused fugitives arose to flee from spiritual dying
Inevitable state
Sufferings of insectoids are required for pleasure of lords
The ultimate pain reigns the spiritless realm
This crisis brought new age:

Despite our fight for liberation, the only freedom we reached
Was in the chill embrace of bereavement!

Mediocre beings that have destroyed the Earth face
Transformed the thralls to slaves and cultivated neoteric race

Technology of domination - we possess
Emotionless minds - we oppress
Ritual mental sacrifice - we request
Subservient souls - we detest

Thus creators of life were expelled
As cruel despots have reigned our shattered realm
For delight must be brought to the highest priest
But we shall strive in this lost ravines of the Earth
As last keen kin of genuine man until very end!


8. AGELESS FOREST SILENCE

Within hollowed surface, beneath fresh mellow soil
The beings are inhumed into the Earth, like some seeds of plants
Thee sow the seeds as the herbs but as the trees they shall be grown
For the souls of the trees within the semens as a tenet are thrown

As the forest sings all the day and through the nights it whispers:
When the Old ones return to Earth they shall evolve from own corpse

Their boughs, under the stars towards the heavens they point
They dance, under the Sol in the harmony with wind's song
Destiny for all is equal
The Omenwood

After the dawn, the clear flame disappears
Thy eyes cannot see it 'gainst the rays of bright sun
You want to thaw thy frozen hands sometimes
As you wished to quench thy thirst with the burning flames for always.
But the embers is everything you shall find there
Spirits of trees ignite as the bright flames arise
Deep within the eyes of fairy the passion burns:
I can feel the bliss, the heat, and its cleansing might.

The plasmas of their lives from burning wood’s released
They are whipping me, steaming astral completes me.

Ablaze phantoms clasped her body with their flashing tongues
Thus her sleepless energy dreams in me forevermore.

And that flame shalt burn, within my heart for eternity
Sadness would surround my soul, if only one tree dies in vain.

For whilst the forests vanish, it's like the gods dissolve
The pagan gods who'd found a shelter inside of this grove.
After they had to abscond from the metropolises, ere havoc of a deadly cross
Into the apprehension of abysses depths and into the woods of downfall
...Into the woods!


9. THUNDERS OF DISSOLUTION

With the shine of the stars the past had come to the Earth
Unknown to a posthuman era.
When the evolution changed among faint
Waves of a pessimistic nihilism
The development of consciousness commence.
At that time the chosen one has conveyed the flame of the dawn
Flounced in the thoughts of dying night.

For he inaugurated new revolution [of subconsciousness]
In the birth of revelation within the origin [of macrocosm]
After the strike of cosmic maul had shattered the transcendental dimensions
And overawed the mystical reflections
Nothing could have risen, from the deafening silence
Despite new land has opened itself, in the front of his mind.
For he had come to annunciate
The morn upon, the ruins of an extinct civilisation.
The titanic vigour of existence: without the start
Without the end, stays forever in an unstained soul
Therefore I re-entered the ancient fields
Where the intentions rise from the deep
Clean and pure!
There, where the life blooms, in the abyssal lakes
In the frozen mountains above
It brings back the memories and the forgotten truth of passed days
In the forms of shadows he proclaimed - the fall
As the return of lost echoes from bottomless hollows

We have deserted the sciences, for they cannot unveil exact reality
(We have deserted exact reality)
We have buried the religions, for their conceived fallacy
(We have buried their fallacy)
We have forgot the laws, for their subjective rule over the world
(We have forgot to rule over the world)
We’ve destroyed the courts, for they have been guided by the malicious
(We have destroyed the malicious)

Zephyr flows upon the virgin Earth
Sol intensifies the hue of the nature
Seeded life augments unseen in the seashore bays, striving for survival

For he had descent to the labyrinth to bring absent equilibrium
From genetic instincts once man was born
Now he uncovers an ancient inhuman tomb


10. UNVEILED ASTRAL PATHS

As darkening twilight sky, gives birth to stars
I turn my sight upwards
I send the clouds of frigid steam, out of my dying mouth
Far Sol towards

Bewitched by night my spirit leaves the flesh
Through endless space free I trek
I furrow the infinity of reflections;
Distant limitless void - so extent;
With no haunting shadow I flow alone through dense blackness

Lost forever in the dominance of darkness,
I am hidden, before the light, comes.
Suddenly the waxing moon comes up on the sky
And an obscure, shadow is born behind me
Colour of soil alters to blue, they are not dead!
But mist fills the air and it veils the moon and shadows die!
