1. FRACTURED

I am the plague, a mental malady
I am sickness, I will bring the end
Take a deep breath and smell the scent of death
I'm the rotting flesh
Ever growing humanity's decay
Never going I'm here to stay
You see the world through money tainted glasses
I am greed!

I spread the doom of betrayal
I am your government's lies
Under the cloak of evil
When will you open your eyes

I am the bombs dropping from the sky
I am violence and I never die
Cover in fear as your hour draws near
I am those innocent
Ever growing humanity's decay
Never going I am here to stay
You see the world through money tainted glasses
I am greed!

I have many faces - they all answer to one name
The helping hand of death, the horseman in control
Behind the mask of plague, behind the mask of war
Behind all the starvation grins the evil face of greed

I am the pain by the name of hunger pangs
I am famine, sinking in my fangs
Open your eyes as another man dies
I am the underfed
Ever growing humanity's decay
Never going I am here to stay
You see the world through money tainted glasses
I am greed!

I spread the doom of betrayal
I am your government's lies
Under the cloak of evil
Fractured humanity dies


2. CELESTIAL GOD

Falling star
From the sky.
See the sign
of the gods.
Banished outcast from the stars
Through the flames he heard the cries
Native people bearing gifts
Welcoming

Bereft of all hope, forsaken, alone
To die here in exile
Primitive people, inferior life
See the golden throne
Rise from the shame, from the ashes reborn
To be the god they desire
Show them your ways and they will learn

Shining god from space
Enslaved the human race
In the days of old
He built those cities gold

Architect
of the future
Kingdom built
of gold and blood
Fist of iron rules the land
Based on teachings of the stars
Symbol rising to the sun
Temples reaching high

A scarred face in the mirror
Behind the mask of gold
Know the clock is ticking
Even gods grow old
Built a strong empire
Now must choose a man
Lead your people forward
Through him you'll live again

Dying god
Leaves his throne
To an heir
Of human blood.
Rise pharaoh rule the land
Be the god in his stead
Native people bearing gifts
Welcoming

Shining god from space
Enslaved the human race
In the days of old
He built those cities gold


3. ENTER THE HIVE

Venomous needles
They pierce through your flesh
Like insects we feast on your mind
Feed the machine
We will become one
Weakness of flesh left behind

Poison the body
Through death we grow strong
Harvest the essence of life
Capture the soul

Inanimate life
Evolution cheated

Transcended organic
Perfection achieved
We are the swarming machine
Your corpses stored broken
Rotting away
The colony's power supply

Poison the body
Through death we grow strong
Harvest the essence of life
Capture the soul

Inanimate life
You are plugged in

We are the swarm
Like locusts we rise
Your planet will crumble to dust
Feed the machine
We will become one
Weakness of flesh left behind

Poison the body
Through death we grow strong
Harvest the essence of life
Capture the soul

Inanimate life
Lifeless Paradise


4. SELFCAGED

Trapped inside this forest dream
A place we used to like,
A special world inside your head
Where I used to hide
I control your body now
And you are locked inside
The place created by your fears

No one hears you cry
Trapped inside your mind
You see what I see
Flesh belongs to me

Your fears have created me,
I started to prevail.
Now there's nothing you can do
Finally I am free!
You see your loved ones leaving you,
Our new friends you don't like.
You are watching helplessly
As I destroy you.

I need you for your dreams
I need those memories
If you will not join me
There is no key

Trapped inside your forest dream
Which used to be my cage
Now I'm free to do my will
People will know fear
I will rid these land of sickness
Of your peoples road
I have seen our trees die

No one hears you cry
Trapped inside your mind
You see what I see
Flesh belongs to me


5. LAST TRANSMISSION

Corpses
Of wishes consumed by time
And buried visions
A cemetery of dreams
I am the graves
Of thoughts forever lost
Broken ideas
The makers silent and dead

Path unknown
Losing chunks of valid data stored
Sight offline
Broken images of times gone by
Hope lost
No one to retrieve the memories
Purpose gone
Forgotten by space

Calculating ways to send a signal out
No one answers power running low
Searching for manners of reaching through
System error, need to reboot

Path unknown
Losing chunks of valid data stored
Sight Offline
Everyday the errors multiply
Hope lost
Dreams wiped from my drive
Humanity gone
As a machine dies

What really happens when a core terminates
Will someone rebuild my heart
Before metal turns to rust

This is mankind's last transmission
Our planet is dead
With this signal ends my mission
Dead

Corpses
Of wishes consumed by time
And buried visions
A cemetery of dreams
The graves are gone
The thoughts now truly lost
As I lie broken
With the makers silent and dead

Path unknown
Losing chunks of valid data stored
Sight Offline
Broken images of times gone
Hope lost
Dreams wiped from my drive
Humanity gone
Dead


6. UNKNOW DIMENSIONS

(Instrumental)


7. THE FORLORN

Drifting through the omniverse
Seeking my homeland
Chasing dreams
Swimming in eternity
Perpetual damnation
I am lost

Why must I do this alone
The voices in my mind urge me to go
Will I ever find home
The forces drag me on

Past and future I have seen
There's no place I haven't been
Watched entire planets die
Passed through every astral door
I saw every fucking war
I have been many gods

Insatiable desire
Been everywhere but home
The longing burns like fire
Forever I'm forlorn

Caught up in this pointless quest
Alone and forgotten
Stranded in space and time
Forces pushing on and on
A creature so ancient
The reaper fears me

Why must I do this alone
The voices in my mind urge me to go
Will I ever find home
The forces drag me on

Insatiable desire
Death won't ever come
The longing burns like fire
Forever I'm forlorn


8. UNPARTICLED MATTER

From our mortal flesh
Throughout endless space
The thoughts of human kind
have spun an endless web
Clutching to the past
When striving for tomorrow
Never stop in the now
Never really here

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

History formed by the words we create
Memories of lives lost in time
Written in ink so they don't fade away
To build what is not from the gone

Memories blast
From the past
Like burried cries
Of distant lies

Future uncertain - predicted and dreamed
Based on the legacy lost
Planned out and drawn so it wouldn't go wrong
So clearly it almost feels real

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

A dreamy gaze
Into future days
Reality strikes
When tenses collide

From our mortal flesh
Throughout endless space
When in eternity
So insignificant are we

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

Present is the state of all life
But the human mind is torn
Between the past and the future
A lonely traveller
The unparticled matter


9. EMPTY SHELLS

Whispers of a thousand demons
Roaring in my head
Prayers of the dying
Wailing of the dead
I can hear the souls despairing
Deceived by empty words
Can't shut out the screams

Lies - fed me lies
As they raped my mind
The man became the gun
Life left behind
Eyes - gazing eyes
As I watched them perish
Faces long forgotten
Stares remain

I spend my days staring into the wall
No retribution, they won't leave me alone
The gun is gone but the memory remains
Forever haunted, the hollow man

Can't escape the nameless faces
Anywhere I go
Following my footsteps
Calling from below
By ghosts tormented never free
Where's the man I used to be
Still I hear them cry

Lies - fed me lies
Of eternal glory
How god forgives the sins
If you repent
Eyes - ghoulish eyes
As empty words consumed me
Reasons long forgotten
Scars remain

I spend my days staring into the wall
No retribution, they won't leave me alone
The gun is gone but the memory remains
Forever haunted, the hollow man

Hollow man - empty shell
