An Aspect of Chaos
04:47
|
|||
In this quantum aspect of chaos all possibilities emerge
No great mystery reveals, no power or any wealth to save
Sank in apathy and paranoia apart from all you see this darkness
This dark shadow of another self, the one that breathes of fire
The one who demands to stand at the edge
And stare into the abyss with eyes empty of life
No purpose in this life, in this wave of evolution
But the intent to form your content is present and alive
LIFE - Choices until the day you die
LIFE - A spiral evolving in time
LIFE - A quantum aspect of chaos

The Great Animist
03:56
|
|||
Sinking into your darkness you feed the form of the beast
The one that dwells inside, the great animist
Τhe nebulous mind who builds and demolishes on a fantasy canvas
The yesteryear and the future
How beautifully you let go forgetting your fall in this darkest abyss!
But, all at once, clumsily you try to hold on
Enraged and arrogant, so strong and forlorn
Furiously, you spread pure hatred in the cloaking flesh
And you kill screaming: “NO ONE ABOVE ME!”
But now you stare… With horror in your eyes
And despair weighing your solders, you stand and stare!
Amazed by the void of your mortality and the vainness of your cause
You are hovering over your disillusions and your moldered self
For centuries these fallen entities dwell here
Ungrateful and phobic, narcissists, glorious suicides
Numbed by denial, worshiping the great I!

This great I, a tragic life guide
A god made of alchemists’ amalgam
An unconditional worship!
Creator of value-cemeteries,
demented worshipers ready for their righteous war
And the smell of blood.
Mildew beggars waiting for the shattering pain
They taste the stench of the corpse like ancient gods
Pouring their poison on this earth
Joyful in the safety of their spiritual grave!
Surrendered to obscurity and the pleasures of the swamp
From their palaces of grief, they mourn
They stare in the sky
There is no answer there… Nor salvation!
But this god screams again and again:
“KILL AGAIN! BRING ME NEW BLOOD!
ONLY ON PILE OF CORPSES
DEVOID OF REASON
YOU REACH THE GATES OF MY DOMAIN”
So, they drug their bodies and minds to irrational ceremonies
Way beyond the knowledge of reason
Way beyond the knowledge of truth
AWE! Prince death awaits! Far from the rituals
Behind all fears and all rage
Undisputed! Messenger of sorrow. In silence he awaits!

Lost in desperation’s blackened mouth
A chasm bleeding out the essence of life
No escape from these corridors
Of thoughts, of thorns and lies
No voice to speak the truth
No consciousness to grab upon the chariot of time
Smaller and smaller buried deep in your spiritual grave
Rotting away, empty of concept, empty of will, empty inside
This world is a marquetry of death
Moments of a nightmare, a parade of shades
Desperation crushes upon the spine
Unbearable this vision of total death
Time mocks the mind’s convulsive gleams
Your cries a death rattle to the world
A new fear before me, I welcome this newborn madness
An enemy which transforms and exists in vague forms
Springing from inside me to the mightiest of them all
An elusive architect of myopic realities
Laughing at me with this blackened mouth of despair

Divided You Fall
05:01
|
|||
And the time has come to face that fear
The great one that lurks
Below the surface of your bright reality
Below the surface of your brightest thoughts
You say you never saw it coming,
you say you never sensed the stench
You hide from your consciousness in a self-deception so fair
This world now becomes a stranger
This sky that hangs above is about to fall!
Time appears in a horrible form
A dreadful shape stinking of death
Everything around you is already dead
A new truth is about to be revealed
In all its glory and awe!
You’re divided from your self
Your ethics crumble and your will withers
You realize that nothing is left
And divided as you are you descent
Breathtaking knowledge of ancient patterns unfold
Powerless to accept demise divided you fall

A Form of Agony
05:05
|
|||
And when all life within comes to an end
You enter the cruel state of isolation
The one you’ve always tried to avoid
The one you’ve always anxiously seeked
You speak to the void where no sound exists
You speak to yourself, to the non-existing being
Here you deal with nothingness!
Thrown to oblivion’s pit
YOU! THE FORMLESS, YOU! THE DEAD
Away from space and time
Here you deal with nothingness!
Make way for the beast of desolation
The crowned prince of despair
He who scatters the ashes of the great I
He who comes in silence
Generously offering your peace
He who rides beyond the sun
He who bares to the world rebirth at once
He who comes hand in hand with life, his bride
But you always stand in the middle of their philandering arms
Always as a form of agony… AGAIN AND AGAIN
…SOWHATIFANOTHERJOURNEYBEGINS…?

Entropy of Men
05:29
|
|||
Awe for the beauty of life
Awe for its ugliness
Awe for the certainty of death, entropy in completeness
Awe for the beauty of life
Awe for its ugliness
Entropy and awe, perpetual phenomena
Phenomena that enclose the purest qualities of truth
In clarity we approach the entropy of men
Staring into a vast subconscious, a mind-altering darkness
STARING INTO THE ABYSS
The prince will take his throne, you’ll place him where he belongs
Beside his timeless fragile bride, he’ll now have his fatal crown
And you will hear the everlasting chants
As the mortals compose the ode to death
And in a fierce awakening you comprehend the concept
That turns your life around, a mind-altering light
STARING INTO THE ABYSS
