1. 3000 A.D.

This is life on Earth the year 3000 A.D
This is the fate of us and the shape of things to be
Electric eyes and mercurial skies and a bounty of toxic dust
It gets in your lungs it’s like breathing fire but you breathe it for you must

Watch as the people hide in their cities of debris
Watch them try to shield themselves from the phantom powers that be
Chaos reigns in the cities of Earth where the people have lost their way
And underground is the city of fear where the people always pay

Storm coming 3000 A.D - it doesn’t mean that much to me
The way it was just the path of history
Storm coming future bound - it’s the decay of all we see
That leads us on - 3000 A.D

They are the keepers of truth selling lies at every turn
They are the angels of death and they have come to watch it burn
The hammer falls the Messiah calls has he come to save them all
No, it’s clear to me he is much too late he has come to watch them fall

Storm coming 3000 A.D - it doesn’t mean that much to me
The way it was just the path of history
Storm coming future bound - it’s the decay of all we see
That leads us on - 3000 A.D

Storm coming 3000 A.D - it doesn’t mean that much to me
The way it was just the path of history
Storm coming future bound - it’s the decay of all we see
That leads us on - 3000 A.D

We built it up to let it go
Will we make it - I don’t know
Could end up in Hell but at least you’re free
That’s much more than you can say for me
I’d rather be dead than living on Earth
With toxic dust and mutant birth
The whole world’s coming - coming to an end
We fucked it up and now here we are again

Here we are again


2. CELLS

This is the end of the perfect creation
On the back of the dearth of the nation
Of the germs bred for war and for Hell
Is your disease which watched as civilisation fell

We have arrived at this strange plateau
And day by day you feel safe in what you know
You have evolved - you are the best
But this virus it rests within your

Cells - internal Invasion
Cells - a deadly contagion
Cells - decaying from the inside

What you’ve made is the death of you all
Now you watch as the foundations fall
Your creation - a patchwork of death
A new procession is this what you get

Now you may think you are the chosen one
But you’ll be rotting like the beasts that you once shunned
You’re not the centre of the universe
Just the centre for a living - feeding

Curse - internal Invasion
Cells - a deadly contagion
Cells - decaying from the inside

This is the city of the plague
Now tell them about the things you’ve made
Those walls have become a tomb
enclose around you like a concrete womb

The end is coming -it's something
Feel it slipping await - like nothing

Right now - builders of the civilisation
Right now - victims of the degeneration
Right now - human race - full devastation
Right now - Amoeba inherits our station

Someone say something - it’s coming
Epoch of the human race - it’s going

Abandon all hope of salvation
Microscopic annihilation
Look out contamination
Corpsification


3. THE NETWORK

There are things that you remember there are places that you go
A world that lies within the screen and dictates what you know
Let the network take you there provide you with your dreams
Fill you up with hope fear and all the other things

Welcome to the network

Step into the void cross into the zone
As long as you tune in then you won’t have to be alone
They tell you what to think tell you what to say
Despite your rationality willingly you obey

And this is what they say

The Network - Monopoly of the truth
The Network - The cycle poisons you
The Network - You’re hypnotised
A nightmare coming true

Abandon your resistance injection of the meme
They recreate the past it’s all just as it seems
The future is a battle that’s what the Network says
Extracting what is black and white out from all the greys

The Network - A triumph of democracy
The Network - A war where no one bleeds
The Network - it’s a world of hate
Bursting through the screen

Tomorrow - Tune in your mind will be dead
Tomorrow - Living inside of your head
Tomorrow - You don’t believe what they say
Tomorrow - Remember when the network used to pay

The things that you remember the places that you go
The voices in your head say there’s a lot that you don’t know
Now lay you down to sleep at night and maybe in your dreams
You’ll find a world that you forgot where nothing’s as it seems

The Network - Death throes of an industry
The Network - Conceptual apostasy
The Network - A potent dream
Master provider of bankrupt ideologies

The network turning truths into lies


4. WHO'S WATCHING?

You live free through the day but tonight you are a ghost at play
Shadows cast a net that safely swallows you
And if you’ve got a secret or if you’ve got nothing to hide
It’s all the same and the game is won

Who’s been watching - they are watching you
Who’s been watching - they are watching
Who’s been watching - they are watching you
They are watching - now you run

Alone in your dark apartment you live in a hazy world
your dreams and schemes are safely locked away
but if you’ve ever wondered about the chill creeping up your spine
You’ve felt their eyes while they are watching you

Who’s been watching - they are watching you
Who’s been watching - they are watching
Who’s been watching - they are watching you
They are watching - now you run

Disembodied voices sing
Through the speakers they will ring
Callin for their brother soldiers
Is this real or are you dreaming

One by one they come for you
They’ve got eyes all around you too
For your crime you must admit
And for your soul it’s time to quit

You wake from the grip of slumber a nightmare looming in a mess of black
Outside that world just seems so far away
And with their footsteps coming the ghost of freedom running
You find too late that they are here to stay

Who’s been watching - they are watching you
Who’s been watching - they are watching
Who’s been watching - they are watching you
They are watching - now you run


5. THESE FIRES

These fires - these fires these skies of red
That burn throughout the years
Remember - remember those skies of blue
That since have disappeared

Onward wasteland whither away
Bring up the tide bring on decay

The dead - the dead so many there
Lay down upon the Earth
An endless desert yet still no spring
No chance for our rebirth

Onward wasteland whither away
Bring up the tide bring on decay

I saw the sky burn up
I saw the ship go down
So few are we that are left
So few are we here now

The sun - the sun it burns so bright
through all the atmosphere
My eyes - my eyes it does ignite
with an image so unclear

Onward wasteland whither away
Bring up the tide bring on decay
Rabble waves and nowhere to run
It has begun

These fires burn bright
Stem out into a river of light
Heat rising sun climbing
Then gives way to an ocean of night

I saw the sky turn red
I watched the mountains fall
I saw the earth decay
These fires will burn us all


6. THE WORLD WE KNEW

Let go it surrounds you now
It’s omnipresence is a foregone vow
They know that they control your mind
You are their creation

Do what they want do what they say
Do what you must for comes the day
When all that you know will be left in the rubble

(Nobody wants to believe it)
(Only the damned could conceive it)

They speak you understand
You are unique in their peculiar land
How quick did the whole thing fall
One Generation

Nowhere to go nothing to do
No-one to trust it’s curtains for you
Or they’ll keep you alive for a season in hell

The world that we knew has now gone forever
Awake from the ether to your modern disease
Endlessly waiting in expectation
For death to blow in with the Breeze

Let them go - Now they are just memories
Let them go - Don’t wrestle with your memories
Time will show - Time forgets everything
This is it, new days of the empire

Let them go - They bury the dead now
Let them go - They’re all in your head now
Time will show - When everything’s said now
This is it new day of the empire

The world we knew is gone forever
You wake from the ether to your modern disease
Endlessly waiting in expectation
For death to blow in with the Breeze


7. JOURNEYS

We cross the Void through radiation fields
Home far behind us its fate already sealed

Traverse the stars
Cataloguing worlds
To find a new haven for man
Future bound the quest began

Searching waiting hoping
Your world will soon be ours

We endeavour to deprive
Always searching the skies

The voyage begins
Take a step and watch your mind spin
One world one hope
All dangling from a single rope
Take a leap towards the burning light
Armageddon comes pray that it will be alright
You’re never more alone
Than when you are so far from home

We leave behind us our path of destruction
Our race has spread we’re living on the run

We journey far and we journey deep
Still searching for the source of life
Water air warmth and light

Gives birth
Far from the Earth

We endeavour to deprive
Always searching the skies

The voyage begins
Take a step and watch your mind spin
One world one hope
All dangling from a single rope
Take a leap towards the burning light
Armageddon comes pray that it will be alright
You’re never more alone
Than when you are so far from home

And now we navigate our course is set in stone
We endeavour to deprive
Bring the future into being cast off for the unknown
Always searching alone

Our destination far from all we know
Our evolution left all things below
An old world dies a new one in our sights
Terraform the Earth reborn
But you can't outrun all that you’ve done

We endeavour to deprive
We endeavour to deprive
We endeavour to deprive
We endeavour

We cross the Void
