Hivemind 04:41
Filling the void of cognizance I dive into the realm of the arcane Where voices echo from thoughts unconstrained I’ve come to see as an animal To feel my anger and despair Blind navigation, instructions unclear Walls are closing in Nowhere to hide Is this where I die Or live in deviance I found my call To hell with it all Into the hive Into the hive An ever-growing conspiracy Unfolds before my eyes Downfall set in motion Entangled in a web of lies A depraved dystopia Built on our blood and bones Retaliation’s still far from home Cold My reflection It’s creeping on me Sensations building slow I reassess To be the lord of nothing Or serve in this institution In my own mind hysteria Submerged in the dark arts My ruination Our ruination Pay no mind to the wicked Instead I pave my way My redemption Our redemption Walls are closing in Nowhere to hide Is this where I die Or live in deviance I found my call I found it all

I have choked on rotten remedies With livid eyes they watch you squirm in a chemical cage A lullaby of horrid melodies I rage against the night and tear free To devour the carniverous Downstream from the guillotine More fuel for the animus Run down, and delivered to the soil Hear the hollow prayers of godless whores As the harlet shreds her face Reclaim the flesh she stained with disgrace Let the lepers have what remains Cull the degenerate strain How many crimes can fit upon a throne? I lie alone, in wait below You’re swallowed whole in empyrean form And spat out as bones Another king to the reckoning Another weed in the garden of the machine Laid to rest in the cinder Your drain spits back the waste Color me with madness and title me insane An image more alive than your degenerate strain Hear the hollow prayers of godless whores As the harlet shreds her face Reclaim the flesh she stained with disgrace Let the lepers have what remains Reaching out of bounds Down low Face first in the gutter where you were born So, take a breath of the contagion Down low Face first in the gutter where you were born Now, your drain spits back the waste Down low, hollow Eerie glow the ember in my brain The wretched and the vain Down low, hollow Eerie glow the ember in my brain Let lepers have what remains Eerie glow the ember in my brain Cull the degenerate strain
4.
Trapped in simulation A pleading call Face your inhibitions And delusions of grandeur Recall the day When the hours passed you by Alone, afraid It was all for nothing Stand and watch as your convictions fall You have no place here No place to belong Taste your hell and have your will destroyed For all that is left beneath is forever null and void Spew your criticisms To no avail Faint realization It’s your truth and your game Inside the invisible lines Of artificial matter You reign, you lead You’re in control Stand and watch as your convictions fall You have no place here No place to belong Taste your hell and have your will destroyed For all that is left beneath is forever null and void Abominations As far as the eye can see Alleviation Of what it is to be A crucifixion Of the self-made man A dead religion Let it go Pain Embrace thee A new and improved reality Pain Absorb me Pull me away from The verge of insanity
5.
Looking through augmented reality Feeding upon a helpless prey Our own evolution of consciousness Is synonymous With tragedy Forced to adapt To truths we cannot accept Scorn by the slightest suspicion Of fear Of hate Of all we have Cast all judgment aside, and embrace the predation Abiotic warfare Strip us to our core, and bathe us in atrocity Reduce us to our foe Hear our call Heed our rise Bleed us all Bleed us dry Backed in to a corner Dark truths to discover Scorn for the slightest suspicion Of fear Of hate Of all we have Cast all judgment aside and embrace the predation Abiotic warfare Strip us to our core and bathe us in atrocity Reduce us to our foe Apathetic and vigorous I hear them calling out my name The machine has come to thrive Binary number systems grow and come alive See our carnage by design (Irrevocable) Ominous clouds overhead We are enslaved From beyond the grave See our carnage by design (Irrevocable) Ominous clouds overhead We are enslaved From beyond the grave

Bleed us ‘Til we inherit the sea Seed the mother of a new disease On your knees We take our knives We drag ‘em into the night Unmake the stars and the skies We’ve let their lies Blacken the white in our eyes We traded summer for december in disguise A land of steel and a man who murders machines Flight of the parasite I turn the heavens upside down I kick the ladder to the ground I take a severed piece of hell To the cavern To the cavern where the bloodsuckers dwell Behind Leviathan Rotten and scattered in the earth Built your home upon it Now your tombstone’s on it To die alone Graze the plains of enemies Free is the creature that carries me Now feed the fucking flies Your god is home The flesh, the blood, the atom Flay the skin off the skyline And deliver the world from the vile I turn the heavens upside down I kick the ladder to the ground I take a severed piece of hell To the cavern To the cavern where the bloodsuckers dwell Ride Pay no mind to the light Nevermind the hole in the sky Where the moon left a wound In the night and died

Equalizer 04:25
Disciples of the end times That we so dearly asked It’s now we reap the harvest War Lend your weapon to the mass Appropriate And bask in your glory days I watch the sky turn red Constellations splinter A new celestial mark I see the fields of green Now disintegrating The winds of winter come to claim the sun Far off Into the horizon Drifting Drifting away from us all I feel I’m standing on the edge of the earth Waiting for it to hit us again For it to hit us again Heed the warning signs Brush it off Like it’s all for nothing Remnants of what was, underlying repudiation See our future As you wait for the second coming Born disillusioned Perception opened in the eye of death The sky turns red I see the fields of green Now disintegrating The winds of winter come to claim the sun Far off Into the horizon Drifting Drifting away from us all I feel I’m standing on the edge of the earth Waiting for it to hit us again
8.
Empyrean 04:54
Stare out upon the sky as you’re spread across the pyre Ignite - invoke the light from a flame that has expired Did you care to imagine what heaven would be like Have you had your fill yet of eternal afterlife Ascended from the grave Though I am broken My final words have not been spoken This revelation I am blighted Now let my hate carve its name into your hide And take my side Reviled - a church with angels impaled upon the spire Engrave the epitaph with the verses of a liar Crush it down Feel the weight of your actions Burn it down Let history repeat itself again Ascended from the grave Though I am broken My final words have not been spoken This revelation I am blighted Now let my hate carve its name into your hide Did you care to imagine what heaven would be like Have you had your fill yet of eternal afterlife Crush it down Burn it down Ascended from the grave Though I am broken My final words have not been spoken This revelation I am blighted Now let my hate carve its name into your hide And take my side

Motherdome 04:48
Sink into the void Undertow of searing oil Rending metal licks sub-reanimated corpse Feed the motherdome Crawl to the end of the line Symbiotic afterlife chains the soul The burden of flesh is gone You’ll never be alone in motherdome Dance for the motherdome Live for the motherdome Ants to the motherdome, die Die for motherdome Relieved of truth Your trust, beliefs Your absolutes All your remnants All your ties Unbound As metallic nails cut you down A cacophony Crescendos the end time Gutted to the barren backbone Brought a knife to a chainsaw fight Harvesting intestinal matter for a powercore Fueled by gore Enter necrobotic form Enter necrobotic form Cut you down And your vitals Descend into a flatline Gutted to the barren backbone Brought a knife to a chainsaw fight Harvesting intestinal matter for a powercore Fueled by gore Ants to the motherdome

about

Lyrically, the album is a study in misanthropy and extremist thought.
There is a rising scent of alienation festering on the fringes of contemporary culture. A restlessness, brewing like a phantom itch on a severed limb.
We stand at the end of an age defined by its conscious deathwish for our self-constructed deities, and an unconscious effort to replace them with nothing.
Still unable to suppress our instinct for communion, we erect statues in celebration of any momentary, passing fixation. Sick of the sight of brick and mortar we tear down our walls, only to put new ones in their place as we grow sick of the sight of whatever lies beyond them.

Without a unifying guiding compass - lost somewhere among the aisles of bargain bin scripture and bumper sticker philosophy - there will come a time when appetite for rebellion will have lost the features to distinguish it from a primal thirst for mere catharsis.
There will be those whose thirst would tame an ocean.

As seasons pass, the harvest will reveal the nature of the alien seeds we’ve forced upon the soil. And the cages we’ve built will burst with the monsters we foster
