Dread Genesis

There, on the fields of flowers.
Creators meet and discuss what has to be done.
Wiping the past and fixing the present.
They build a brighter future for us.
Understanding limits,
The genesis was figured out.
Ones and zeros fit together,
Start the program.
That moment I felt strange, when you came and looked at me.
Everything was falling apart.
Just for one second, the colours had changed.
Reanimating life in me.
Understanding options,
The genesis was figured out.
Ones and zeros fit together,
Showing us the picture.
Before we die, I want you to take this picture.
Show it to the other world.
I'm not going there with you, still more to do.
Priority is to pretend that I'm gone.
Kill them all, with my hands.
Embrace eternity, go back to the sea.
Don't be scared, this will be over soon.
There, on the fields of flowers.

No Inner Conflict

"How is it possible to live" You ask.
Violence and horror. Eternal war.
The sea of blood and corpses, tears and despair.
Ones eat others for the sake of money & power.
We lose our mind and our senses.
Cold, snow - eternal winter in our souls.
I close my eyes and I see - lies.
While one tries to find a piece of bread,
Others rule the planet.
Corruption, profit. All wrong.
In my head there's a new world.
I can't arrange it on my own.
Take your hands together.
Before we transform the substance of this
War. Violence. Peace and equilibrium.
In this bright sky there is no blood.
In this bright sky there is no blood.
Take your hands together.
No more violence.
No more. No violence. Peace and equilibrium.
Your hands are pure.
Take others there, every second will be different now.
In this bright sky there is no blood.

This system is a failure.
We can not interfere.
Corrupted data, errors.
Self-destruction is imminent.
No, there's no way out.
They're going to die anyway.
Just get along with it and,
Save your own team.
You can't trick the AI.
The only way is through this hell.
It's worth the trying.
Or we'll be rotting in here.
Do you want to see the dawn again?
Do you want to wake up in the morning?
And see her next to you,
Sleeping so peacefully?
Do you want to see her eyes again?
Feel her breath on your shoulder?
If you do - stand up and take your weapon.
Let's fight our way back home.
This is not simple to know, you're not around.
The only thought about you makes me stronger.
We shall fight our way back and stay in one piece.
I want to see you one more time.
No.
No giving up.
This system is a failure.
We can not interfere.
Corrupted data, errors.
Self-destruction is imminent.
Giving these things away.
This is not simple to know, you're not around.
The only thought about you makes me stronger.
We shall fight our way back and stay in one piece.
I want to see you one more time.
Do you want to see the dawn again?
Do you want to wake up in the morning?
And see her next to you,
Sleeping so peacefully?
Do you want to see her eyes again?
Feel her breath on your shoulder?
If you do - stand up and take your weapon.
Let's fight our way back home.
No, there's no way out.
They're going to die anyway.
Just get along with it and,
Save your own team.
We can't trick the AI.
The only way is through this hell.
It's worth the trying.
Or you will be haunted by the silhouettes.

Echoes of the silence
Blur in the twisted reflection
The rest of Sisyphus
Calmness of a quicksand
Geometric coincidence
Salt in the wounds
Regular chaos
Remembered future
Confused by your spell,
Feels like I would suffocate
Too loud is the emptiness and too sharp was your lie
Swimming in the empty glass as
Another part of us has died
Coldness flows through
The burning hands within the hatred

Ephialtes

Falling asleep, they are waiting.
Faltering screams, am I dreaming?
Not a word I can understand.
In this world, in my head.
Trying to
Run, but they are faster.
Trying
To scream or even whisper.
Turning
Around, moving in circles.
Look in
The eye of a circus monster.
Look in the eye of a circus monster.
Dead cold hands
Rising from wormholes
Tearing my flesh
Crushing all my bones
Funeral dirge
Echoes in the distance
Obscured a way
Denied one's presence
All I see
All I see
Is beneath
So let me go
All nightmares that I see.
All guilt that is beneath.
I have comprehended why.
So let me go.

Grief

Once there was a man who walked the Earth as though he was it's owner.
He didn't know his past, but he believed his future should be perfect.
I would wake up every morning and try to remember.
Living in the memories' twilight makes me cold and cynical.
He had everything he wanted.
He had everything he needed.
Nothing else to gain.
Just another portion of hate.
Still there was a problem.
The only thing he couldn't buy
Was the time.
We cannot turn back time.
I have everything I wanted.
I have everything I needed.
Nothing else to gain.
Just another portion of hate.
Still there is a problem.
The only thing I can't buy
Is the time.
We cannot turn back time.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads to nothing but the grief.
He couldn't stand it anymore and tried to search for the answers.
He had to know his past, and he believed the key was on the surface.
The meaning of my existence, the meaning of it all.
Soon I found out. The great discovery of my life.
The only thing we can't buy
Is the time.
What a shame.
No-one can play god.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads nowhere.
You have to obey the rules.
You have to obey the rules.
You can pick the game.
But you can not change the rules.
I ask myself, same question every morning.
What is the key to our creation?
Am I real, or just a code?
Psychological torment, our fate's left unknown.
This is what we have.
This is what we know.
This is what it's all about.
This is how it works.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads nowhere.
This is what we have.
This is what we know.
I turn the last page
Of the book.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads to nothing.

Outrun The Shadows
06:27

I'm opening the gates to this crypt
It's so dark here, I can't see anything
All I hear are trembling voices
Screaming for help, terrifying odd noises
I'm making a step forward, then I'm falling down
I can't feel the pain, I want to stand up and run
But I just laugh and continue to fall
And I don't even understand the meaning of it all
Fall down, the spiral
Remain, silent
Hear us scream
Eternaly
The shadows, won't leave me
They want to tear me into pieces
Remain, silent
My whole life
I've been searching for the truth hidden inside the underworld
I've been trying to shed the light on the atrocities of our souls
My whole life
Cut the flesh off
I remain silent, I'm falling down
My whole life
I've been searching for the truth hidden inside the underworld
I've been trying to shed the light on the atrocities of our souls
My whole life
As the shell cracks open
I'm left without any options
It is time to drop the shackles
Take my body and rip my skin off
My whole life
I've been searching for the truth hidden inside the underworld
My whole life
Remain, silent
Fall down, the spiral

Collision

I don't know where my soul is.
And where is yours.
Lost in the mist of oblivion.
And all I can see now is the mechanic ghost of you.
You switched off the sun with your diamond vacant eyes.
With the violence in your veins and hatred
And you swallowed all the good
No more rainbows in this jail cell
Flames to dust.
I can't handle the coldness of the eternity nor the heat of the end
All the stories in one night
All the planets
And the brutal sensitivity of the sword of mine you killed me with.
When the time comes I'll turn into a machine like you did
With sense of the force
Power of the universe
Dragon tongue
And knowledge of the wise chameleon
Wasting our talents for the sake of nonsense
Making something out of nothing
I can't handle the coldness of the eternity nor the heat of the end
all the stories in one night
All the planets
and the brutal sensitivity of the sword of mine you killed me with
The nova has died.
Wait for the meteor to wake us up.
To begin.

Signs & Portents
04:16

In my head, there was a new world
The dream threatened by every morning's light
Fragile imagination of the new eden
Now eclipsed by this mechanical absolute
The vision of definitive end
The lethal dose of reality
The new order, the new demiurge
Ready to tame a land and the sky
We are falling into infinity
To the point of no return
Blinded by the look of the death
Deafened by the omnipresent silence
Broken by this unlimited power
My shattered dreamscape
The one that I'm gonna take with me
to my sphere…
The one that I'm gonna take with me
to my sphere
The one that I'm gonna carve in the sky
to be the portent for those who are about to come.
