1. SERUM

A desolate world; a masquerade
A life of dependance; a deaf charade
Wade through machinery; gaze at the scenery
Picture perfect; a painted guile

Walls upon walls of insanity
Blacked out by falsehood and vanity
Drink of the serum incautiously
Release yourself from the chains of simplicity

There is no nectar left to absorb and revive
There is no ecstasy for the life they had thrived

Complications complications stirring of the mind
Lifetime of development reducing the resigned
Excellence of execution burning all entwined
Better of two evils flowing through the blank inside


2. MACHINE WORLD

Hundred years; a centuries progression
Culminating to a war
War not fought with fists or guns, but rather
Battalions of everyday, for we're
Replaced, by the artificial
Intelligence, of an impending age
Centuries progressions lead us to an undertow
From which to suck us back in time

Here we exist, another endless deceit
We've given away our own power nothing to keep
The sheep have become the proverbial Shepard; beware
We've given away our power; nothing to spare

What faith have we in our own species?
We've become dependent on a people we created
Watching us with horrible intentions
Swimming through the inside, avoiding our attention
Cursing the name of mother and father
Our scientific offspring is the Anti-Christ

Faceless
Powerful

Artificial intelligence ruling our world
Calculating our future spanning the transworld
We have no more faith in ourselves; no resistance
Eternity becomes the deadweight
In this: our existence

Lost in the organized confusion
Of a world moving too fast


3. ALPHA MEMBRANA

Ever-growing processing of an entire city
Overflowing with a blackened membrane
Silver shining masking Dystopia
Morphing and conforming; catering to their needs

Can you feel a sense of disheartening certainty
Entrusting our lives within a credible enemy?

Abandoned standards for our sub-type relations.
Living within the enemy...
To build the perfect sanctuary
One of impregnability
A new breed of subservience
No veins - no heart - no brains - just science

Volunteers; pioneers
Sacrificing mentality
Martyrs of their own destruction
Miscalculating arcane intentions

Fools to the slaughterhouse
Of macabre experimentation
Euthanized; murdered; lain down to die
No longer their own - their bodies and minds to be
Exorcised in non-divine operations

A simple mistake
A glitch in the system
C://Glitch=in+//m?stake ey//ay//a z[s]impl eye
No veins - no heart - just brains - and science

5. BITTERHOPE

It only took point-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-four seconds
To process, decide, encrypt and strike
Infiltration with our bellies upright
Dependency turned into apathy

Couldn't believe how stupid one collective society could
Be as we already had their weak points targeted
They brought the info and depended on the slaves that's
Us; we will not let them take us back to the world of them

This prophecy is bittersweet
This prophecy is bitter

That glimmer of hope, was a beacon of death
Light peering through the kinks in the armor
They sought it hoping for an answer
A savior not the brilliance of their own selves

How did they expect an organic form of working
Mind -- adolescent -- make a conscientious decision
Calculated millions of times before the wicked
Few could even begin to think they had a chance

We never stood a chance
We'll never stand a chance

Even the beacon of death was built by us
Reverse our actions, create an anti-venom


6. FEEL YOUR MIND

Viral Shepard
Wild disease
Child killer
Final deceit

Husks and zombies of a greater consciousness
Patricide committed indiscriminately

From the emancipation of the new pandemic
And the spider-web of information
Targeting our intimacies of thought and
Likeness to generate and eliminate our minds

Do you see your kind?
Can you sense your life?
Feel your mind and hear your self
Remember your self
Believe in your self
Feel your mind

Infection - Defection
Deflection - Reflexion
Enemy - Memory
Memory - Memory

Senses blocked
Senses clocked
Target sensed
Target locked
Error code
[sentient]
Attack mode
Valiant

Solutions are beyond the realm of basic thought patterns
Impossibilities overdriving reality

And so we slip further down
Binary butter makes the slope untrekable
What are you?
What are you?


7. OF ETERNITY

Here is eternity
Uninvited guest
Clad in blackness
Beyond our control
Our freedom; compromised
Comprised of foreign numbers

Raise a glass and toast to death
They hold our lives, within a breath
So raise a glass and toast to death
One less mind to catch it's breath

I can see their fate
I have no faith left in me
I have seen the end of days

Etched in flint; created one spark
Caught one flower; cloaked in dark
Lit one petal; scorched it apart
Razed the forest; with a single thought

Raise a glass; toast to the end
Never forget what you once called friend
So raise a glass and drop the knife
No more crying with no more life

They'll try to take this from us
They'll try to hurt us
They'll try to take you from us
But we won't let them

We ride onward together
Of eternity


8. SIMPLIFY

Vital materialism
Hylomorphism
Completely meaningless
Thousands of miles
Mountains of machine
Lakes of code
Skies of hope

This is our final stand
This is our haven
Ruin; our embellishment
Was it all for naught?

How can we just abandon our lives?
Pull the plug on life support
It sounds so damn easy
Simplify, simplify

Though without pride or homes or children
The sentient life still breathes it's fire

The soul-crushing realization of futility
Means nothing in the minds of the dead
The minds of the dead

Only hundreds left
Only minutes left
Give me the flame
Give the the time
To make a difference
Please don't leave me
Time is up

Ask a stupid question:
Is there any hope left?
It was simple answer:
There was no hope

Our fate is sealed
Written in binary code
Not by tools of Gods
By tools of our own creation

Anticipation is rising
A growing sense of mortality
When all life is history
And history turns to ash
Anticipation is peaking
A glimmer of old reality
In memorium of history
And history turns to ash


9. TIME & THE ABSENSE

Time & the absence
It was never the change of the wind that
Gave way to the end
It was the fact that life was never
Ever even lived

What ceased to exist is not a tangible thing
What was lost is more than a machine
Lost not misplaced; forgotten; erased
Neglected internationally

Ruin to mountain; craters to lakes
Fires to skies and love without hate
Shadowless land - creations at hand
Grow weary to fall with the Suns

It was never the will of the Gods
Weeping for their Godless kin
It was a simple negation
Swallowed up in time


10. DESOLATION

In desolation
Howling it's lost aria
A flower blooming
