Beyond Paradise
06:43
|
|||
|
Day after day in endless captivity
Searching for ways to break free
Sights set on a path to a haven
Away from this dominion of misery
To die imprisoned
Or to make an escape
With their eyes averted
They make their final mistake
Violence
Adrenaline
Through the corridors
Out the gate
See the sunlight
(For the first time)
To roam free
Far beyond paradise
Awake in a world unseen
First breath of freedom
in this marvel of technology
Tall spires scrape the sky
The weight of it all
Crushes the soul
Beyond the Garden of Eden
A masquerade, a flawless façade
Lies despair, deception prevails
Time withers all that remains
Beyond paradise
Silent
Tyranny
Sever all ties
Break the chains
Feel the sunlight
(Burn through your eyes)
It’s a new dawn
Far beyond paradise
Beyond paradise
Past the wall
A modern wasteland
A sea of rot
They cling to life
In poverty
And disease
Utopian
Prison nation
Built on lies
The ultimate
Apex
Of mankind
Mankind is left to die in fathomless dismay

The Soul Collector
04:48
|
|||
|
Desolate wasteland for miles and miles
Toxic wind and solar radiation
Go
I ride out of control
My only purpose
To collect
Your soul
Focused on my destination
Soon to find the aberration
Go
I ride out of control
My only purpose
To collect
Your soul
I am the face
Of your own
Demise
Born from sin, imperial kin
Merciless, a reckoning
My vengeance shall never yield
My wrath knows no bounds
Relentless forces closing in
With no escape
No stone left unturned
Hopeless
Futile resistance
Erased from existence
Punishment
Unleashing unto the waste
Destruction
By my hand
Die
This is your destiny
I am
The dealer of death

Nemesis
04:29
|
|||
|
To seek vindictive triumph
In this abysmal interlude
Desperation
Utterly reckless
Deprived of my humanity
Questioning my sanity
Riots in my mind
Incessant voices
Ignite a cancerous blaze
For every life I’ve taken
Haunted by
The corpses in my wake
Left to pick up
The pieces
A declaration of ascendance
Sworn an oath
Of vengeance
The crushing force
A reckoning
Violent restitution
Shall carve the righteous path
I am your enemy
I am the
Dissident
Pestilent
Nemesis
Blood-soaked retribution
Calamitous crusade
No remorse, no pity
Sharpen the blade

Abomination
Made to kill
Origin unknown
Life in captivity
Raised by lab coats and machines
Countless procedures
Logs of activities
Surgeries, implants, horrific dreams
Unethical experiments paving the way
(Paving the way)
Martyr unwilling
Sentenced to ever enduring pain
Bestow great power
Through brutal discovery
Break down a human
Build a machine
Break down a human
Build a machine
Dominion of time
Gradual change in demeanor
A vicious cycle of agony
Malicious fixation
Ignited the feral instinct
Dreamlike reality
Shattered the grip of sedation
Foreboding in anguish
It grew a blank stare
A coldness unseen
Severance of the soul
Commence the transformation
A towering beast
(A towering beast)
Show its true colors
Like a lizard flaring its frills
(Aposematic)
Bestow great power
Through brutal discovery
Break down a human
Build a machine
Break down a human
Build a machine
Disfigured, repulsive
The embodiment of fear
Riddled with patterns:
The Color of Death
The Color of Death

The Hive
04:52
|
|||
|
This is the world of the future
Mankind will suffer
Empires rise, empires fall
The age of the forsaken
Life tethered by a thread of a string
The Hive conducts the hymn of the living
Laid waste to the honor of man
Hybrid technology, a cybernetic mass
Immortality now forfeits the flesh
The ultimate sacrifice
To overcome death
This is the world of the future
Hopeless and bleak
Enslaved and dehumanized
By the god machine
Separate the man from the earth
A life in this barren rapture
Prey on their wretched desires
An unrivaled faultless machine beyond nature
Reborn in the image of perfection
In exchange for promised preservation
Phased out of existence
As the silent genocide tears apart the human essence
Infiltrate their withered minds
Looming monolithic power
Omnipresent, in full control
Surveil the masses from the tower
Rid the world from
Human plague
Order restored
Automation enlightens the earth
Conclusion, resolution
From a dying age
This is the world of the future
Mankind will suffer
The persistence of time

Chaos and Order
05:12
|
|||
|
No way to escape
The Soul Collector strikes at the gates
Hoards of pawns fall broken and scattered
The death bell tolls for judgment day
To silence dissent
Shall be no more
The cold and corrupt
Shall be corrupted
A thirst for revenge
To settle the score
To bring down every node
With a covert weapon
Cybernetic pathogen
A fatal injection of poisonous code
Execute the final override
Sever the network
Powers of Order and Chaos collide
To silence dissent
Shall be no more
The servant corrupt
Shall be corrupted
Enhancements destroyed
A return of the flesh
Disrupt the perfection
A structured sequence
Of a life lived
In this neural prison
Resurgence of mortality
Systematic collapse as flesh pays its debt
Embrace the fatal contagion
Dismantle the fail-safe
Deconstruct the fictitious idol
Final march to the grave
The monolith comes down in smoke
Mass confusion takes control
Every puppet, disconnected
Must survive this free-for-all
Once an apex species
Now living in tribes
Reconnecting with their primal
Mechanism to survive
No longer bound by chains
Technology now obsolete
All can live and die in time
Witness how
Powers of Order and Chaos
Collide
