- Archetype
[Lead: Ellis]
DNA created slaves
Born the archetype - forefather of man
Embryonic deficiencies
Miscreation humanity
The evolution begins...
- Beckoning Oblivion
As we march, following the line that cannot fade with time - our spiritual bearing
Despite differences in minds, with this truth, we find friend and enemy are one
Now cast out fears of the past
To move forward from what was then, to what will be
Fortune comes from conscious choice
Who we are is not written in our blood
- Consequence Complex
Born...
A pure existence untainted by others
We go through time ingesting negatives and lies
But ask yourself, what is life?
You must not hold your problems
The time is up
If you don't face the facts
- Dedication To A Dead Cause
Under the strain the cracks start to show
Still can't tell when it falls, which was it will go
How can an empire, for aeons stand
With it's foundations built upon the sand?
A thousand questions, but never an answer
After a lifetime spent, I can't tell what's been gained
Where am I going? What am I fighting for?...
- Demons
So many things I can't remember
Too many things I can't forget
The thoughts that keep me awake and plague me with regret
A constant reminder of mistakes I cannot escape
A wretched ache that never leaves
The scars unseen
Caught in the shadow of a memory
- Forlorn World
New age of misery
Live life to death's decree
Shadows fall
Hypocritical oath
The global threshold chokes
Is there hope at all?
This world - untold chaos and sadness
- Godless
Morbid terror
Godless forever
World, slaves to hypocrisy
Living life my own way
I strive for everything I do
Determined to take what's mine
Existence divided by belief and lies
- Human Void
[Chrous:]
Caught between your lack of empathy and callous greed
The Human Void dominates me
Caught in the boundaries of my mind
All emotion declines
Set yourself free from the plague of humanity
Open the doors of your mind and leave
Among the Human Void
- Inadequacy
I have a story to tell, living in my own hell
Complications, interrogations of my own thoughts
Inadequacy to expectation, forever striving for what?
How can you know what you want if you don't know yourself?
In the vortex of thought
My mind collides with my empathy
Complexity of inadequacy
- Sentient Disease
Blood red eyes
Thoughts of genocide
Parasite
Decay of sanity
Imploded evolution
Accepted disillusion
Conscience void
Programmed to destroy
- Smoke and Mirrors
Rising
A fear of unknowing and misinformation
The Death of indignation
pure ignorance
Powers
Force fed facts to deter the mind
What's real? What is lies?
- The Image Faded
You close your eyes and try to recall
But can only glimpse the splintered pieces of the whole
Try to catch them and they drift out of sight
The image faded, unclear after all this time
Begin scrabbling for inspired fiction
Subconscious fabricates a distorted scene of the story you left behind
- The Quantum Apocalypse
End of the line
All existence ends
Universal collapse
Our destiny's tied
Solar systems collide
Gravities relapse
A black hole erupts, to consume all life
Not even light can avoid this fate
- Theoktony
Unholy acts of miseration
Cause for reaction - Meaningless destruction
At war with ourselves
And within the mind
We are running out of time
Theoktony - the death of all Gods
As humanity breaks free
- Unified
Behold!
Behold your empire of ritual disdain
With you the martyr king
Crying out for the advent of change
While clutching so tight to your invisible chains
You keep your mouth shut for fear of judgement
- Zeig mir den Platz in der Kurve
In meinem Herzen flattert leise,
ein blau und weißes Fähnelein.
Und gehen die Schalker auf die Reise,
Wünsch ich mir nur dabei zu sein.
Wir sahen kein Land vor langer Zeit,
doch das ist längst Vergangenheit.
Refrain:
