2. The True Awakening

Follow your shepherd
I take what's mine  pay no heed to what
you feed confined you form a line  I am
your shepherd repeat the past assume you
must, expect and trust that I surpass the
last war stirs inside my head  my tongue
may leave some thousands dead  deceptive
smokescreen of compassion while breeding
an enemy and a false sense of unity bury
your empty skulls in the sand
deteriorated observe from below lengthen
fatten, grow  the true awakening is the
end as fire dominates  as the dead arise
clutch the earth  eat the world, serpent


3. Controlled Patterned Mental Process

Face
another grinding wheel in the machine
provoked without a culprit  an enemy
unseen  desensitized by ceaseless waves
of devistation  divided by corruption
arranged manipulation detached  reality
collapsed  played like instruments
composed,  patterned arrangements
controlled and ruthless  ideas affected
gathered sheep herds persuaded  governed
and clueless  entrapped, one fails to
adapt  organize the habits  sedate the
ones who stray  ridicule all theories
while terror is at play  elements of
power mould defenceless mind  lost in
self destruction  infectious humankind
deceit!  Mechanism of mass enslavement
killing is an entertainment  vile by
nature, watch us vanquish  obliterate the
world in anguish  for years I struggled
to comprehend ideologies  built upon the
sand I see  you sense the world is wrong
without knowing why  those trails of
thought will always lead to the same
conclusion  controlled patterned mental
process modern slaves with futile voices
false freedom, deluding choices  vile by
nature, watch us vanquish  obliterate the
world in anguish  for years I struggled
to comprehend ideologies  built upon
the sand I see you sense the world
is wrong without knowing why
those trails of thought will always
lead to the same conclusion
controlled patterned mental process


4. Insignificant Is the Wormking's Throne

Ancient fire bites the tree  the cross
fades within its wheel shadows rise from
talles towers  ascending from the dirt
towards every corner of earth worm kings
climb the highest ground  of a rotting
flesh,  for a worthless throne the
predecessor of multiple zeros  must
slither down again  an inevitable end
on barren lands sits the traitor's throne
no sacred ground left for the conquered
a severed reign, forgotten... slain thrust
the blade, till it bends and brakes
succumbing to the dance of shifting
power  on a journey far and near we find
one single truth an equal end beyond the
patheons as questions burn  all
kingdoms fail  as questions burn
archaic life  a network dies  archaic
life  no sacred ground left for the
conquered  a severed reign  forgotten
salin thrust the blade  till it bends
and brakes  succumbing to the dance of
shifting power on a journey far and near
we find one single truth  an equal end
beyond the pantheons  as questions burn
all kingdoms fail  as questions burn
archaic life a network dies archaic life


5. Suppressed Opposition

Positioned pawns
by gods will, align  move by the hand of
a master divine  forbidden discrepancies
sceptics ignored disposable exiles
removed from the board  obey! Servant
kneel, pray, observe, execute, die in
servitude... distract, jaded fail to act
divert, occupy, serve another lie fire to
cleanse  purify the remains  praise
innovation display it in chains for what
it is worth... it's worth nothing at all
destined eventually one day to fall obey
servant kneel, pray, observe execute  die
in servitude distract, jaded fail to act
divert, occupy, serve another lie
ascension entails sheer submission
despotic,  to render the human condition
cloven tongues breed the selectives
restraining conflicting, heretic
perspectives dreams brew the storms
in coherent minds behold pure madness
primordial instinct of life


6. Son of a Barren Land

Many deaths the self in strife
Untrodden path of unclear life
Darkness spoke of distant hope
Beyond the sea enlightened me
Restraining chains with time I broke

Despite all this deep sadness does not die
Always there, though dormant it may lie
I know her, and I know her to be black
Like a shadow within, a burden on the back

Where the goddess bears many fruits
When the trees wake from slumber
And the soil moves with life
There she grew, old and new

I am a son of a barren land
And in my dreams I see the end
Many times, in many ways
So many deaths, the death of days

Where frost and snow
Shine bright in the sun
And fire gives scent
Of wood in the air
There she grew, old and new

Realise, deep sadness does not die
Always there, though dormant it may lie
I found my home and I found a place for her
In dark times our encounters still occur

Wherever I go
Whatever I dream
She is there


7. Pandemic

Virus against the virus
Plague against the plague
Asphyxiation, intoxication
A viral infection
Cripples the world

Epidemic - the microscopic kings of earth
They spread, accelerating growth in numbers
Pandemic - a planet on its knees
Unyelding, advancing to a global domination
Heedless of one's wealth
Assault of deadly stealth

Arrogance is the downfall
Reclamation
Misconception of life is corrected

Ideas once forced
Into alternative realities
Collapse by impartial force
Like house of cards
Purged

Epidemic - the microscopic kings of earth
They spread, accelerating growth in numbers
Pandemic - a planet on its knees
Unyelding, advancing to a global domination
Heedless of one's wealth
Assault of deadly stealth


8. Beyond the Grips of Odium

Empty vessel, thin string of fate
Weary, worn out, woven with hate
Trumpets of war echo inside
Tuneless, broken - long is this night

Tread one must with care
The darkness is unforgiving
Corruption grows like mold
Infesting the world of the living
As the lights start changing
Behind the gray veil dancing
Unchained I shall roam free
I steer my raft out to sea
Until the sun calls me

Demon, giant, law defiant
Countervision, clear cognition
In the shadows, arbitrary
Seeding, growing adversary

Tread one must with care
The darkness is unforgiving
Corruption grows like mold
Infesting the world of the living

Looking back, it's all translucent dreams
The self I knew is gone, or so it seems
A series of small deaths and rebirth
Through trial and fire
Against the master, the serpent
The preacher, the fraud and the liar

So trifling are my scars
Within vast number of stars
I gaze through, I pass through
Anything blocking my view
As the lights start changing
Behind the gray veil dancing
Unchained I shall roam free
I steer my raft out to sea
Until the sun calls me


9. Perfect Annihilation

A dreamlike mist veiled the horizon
Above an open field
I saw a strange rift in the sky
Forming a perfect line
It seemed to seperate night and day
By different shades of gray
A massive energy danced in waves
As the clouds flared up with lightning rays

Fire! Storm!
Thine forceful will be done
Endgame euphoria
Death! Come!
No damage is undone
A mass hysteria
Fire!

In a haze I saw the trivial man
Underneath strange clustered lights
Wonder took over all fear
As it dawned on me so crystal clear
Insensate reverie of all nullified
By something greater from another side
A perfect vision of an end I survived
Altered from this point my mind

Fire! Storm!
Thine forceful will be done
Endgame euphoria
Death! Come!
No damage is undone
A mass hysteria
Fire!
