Centuries ago once exposed Depths had peaked and deserts froze No technology yet towers rose Eternal emperors enthroned in tombs Knowledge based on what we know Artifacts unearthed from depths below Between the cracks Beneath unknown What once was we’ll never know So they slept preserved in dream Rich pantheon of gods in bas relief Archives expired with the deceased No records kept Or so it seems Knowledge based on what we know Artifacts unearthed from depths below Between the cracks Beneath unknown What once was we’ll never know Fortunes told Annals erased Treasures known Now displaced From fact to fiction Tales turned in to myth The only difference is The differences

Watching The Thinker 01:54
lyrics

What’s the reason for their scheming? Malevolent? Benevolent? Breeding straight treason? Is that thought meant? Or just thoughtless? To believe in all you’re reading That’s some hard press Mind it bleeds Eyes they bleed Thoughts they bleed Filling a cistern Never see Never need Never be anything You’re watching Thinking Trust in Instinct Mind it bleeds Eyes they bleed Thoughts they bleed Filling a cistern Never see Never need Never be anything Your mind it bleeds Eyes they bleed Thoughts they bleed Filling a cistern While you’re Watching the thinker Every dark tale told Every one more bold Garbage it’s churning As bodies burn in Valleys of green gold Fortunes for those old There is no sating All of it’s yearning Valleys of green gold Fortunes for those old Oh so discerning All that it’s earning Propagate Become it’s mould Cultured state Heights extolled

Trojan Syndrome 02:48
lyrics

Trust the jaws that have taken A bite of your generous hand Recast the hook whose barbs Tore your tender flesh Relight your path with the torch That set your hopes ablaze Then cut a path through the brambles With the scythe That ripped Your flesh From bone This is our home? This is our home! This is our home, this London syndrome? We’re not alone We’re not alone! We’re not alone, it’s a Trojan kingdom The ebbs and the flows Those highs and those lows Vortex swings That vortex swings That vortex swings old and new things This is our home? This is our home! This is our home, this London syndrome? We’re not alone We’re not alone! We’re not alone, it’s a Trojan kingdom So gently wipe the blood from the dagger That pierced your heart Then use that poisoned needle Stitch your wounds with the strands of fate Then dig a hole for you cornerstone With the shovel that buried you alive Be vulnerable And open your Shyly shuttered soul This is our home? This is our home! This is our home, this London syndrome? We’re not alone We’re not alone! We’re not alone, it’s a Trojan kingdom This is our home? This is our home!? THIS IS OUR HOME! Take a risk Take a stand Take a chance If you did that would be grand

Don't Break Your Neck 02:28
lyrics

Atop the cliff You drown in your decision Collect your strength or Just fucking give in The future clear With not much left to do Below the shore Just begging for you Don’t break your neck Falling to your death What more is left But one last breath So take it in Reset and then begin For each approach that’s broached There must be one in there that wins But fuck the fates Those seamstresses of seamlessness Or luck Which seemingly might just seem circumstance Oh no! Oh no! To know no tomorrow Oh know! Oh know! Oh know no sorrow No regrets As you collapse What more is left? Only your death In darkness A time to reflect As the past becomes the present Enemies are now your best friends Happenstance becomes intended All the time you’ve spent and yet to spend All moments revealed as relevant Every encounter begins to blend The end Seen As the Beginning Of Your End Don’t lose Your footing Stand strong Stand rooted You wanna live? Well fucking prove it So few options Just one movement

Leviathan 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Oceans are calm Treasure fills the hold Ashore by dawn To divide among the merchants Rich stories to be told Then the seas they begin to boil Slightest tremor and a sudden lilt Hull it shudders as the ship it shakes Horizon shifting as your vision tilts Then the captain cries “ALL HANDS ON DECK!” Cables rip through the crew Backstays begin to snap Violently thrown by the devil it seems Your eyes spy a horror starboard side Drawn out of your worst dreams Tentacles rise Block out the sun Darken the skies Upheaval in the waters of chaos Your fate now understood Iron bends like straw Bronze breaks like rotten wood As the arms crash through the deck One last chance to reminisce Of all you could have been For soon you become A slave to the abyss

Their Experiment 02:06
lyrics
buy track
All alone In the dead of night Cloak of darkness Covers campfire light Something bright Catches your eye Streaking right across the sky Suddenly it slows then comes to a stop Your blood goes cold Along with your thoughts Bizarre it hangs Not making a sound Getting larger It’s closer now Trembling hands Reach for your face A beam shoots out There’s no escape! As it takes hold All time stops Your limbs immobilized Your body caught Floating now You approach the anomaly Can This Really be HAPPENING!? From the middle you can see the stars better Huge eyes Bodies long and slender Surrounded now their thoughts inside your head Your body Their experiment Nerves all seize As they become acute Insides on fire As pain it shoots Through your whole soul Nothing comes when you try to shout Hell is known Oh dear God there’s no way out

Tall Whites 800 Years Eternal Greys The ones feared Lizard People Hide in the crust Crystal Atlantis Never to rust Blinding lights Memory loss Alarm is sounding Hatch is yawning Fire fights And an explosion Self destruct sequence Initiated Bodies are burning Their ashes fill the room This spaceship will become your Tomb Elohim The Watchers Reptilians The Lost Continent Remains out of touch You have to fight Don’t get lost Quick, to the escape hatch At any cost A flash of light The hull it creaks Hurry now or be Asphyxiated Bodies are burning Their ashes fill the room This spaceship will become your… To the left To the right Evaluate Your spacesuit tight Evacuate Eternal night is just outside Better being there Than being here alive In space No one Hears you…

Behemoth 02:04
lyrics

Behold the creature fury unrelenting Strength in his loins force in the navel of his belly Aberrant tail sways like a cedar Sinew of his stones are sown together Terror born of earth upheaved Set free from his hold His vastness fleeced the flocks As they bleating rose In plaited mail he rears his head Shambling forth from the invisible desert Forcing all in to the here, the present Ground it shakes Newborns of this earth they scream Fresh from old wombs mould That traction breeding shock As all hope erodes Coming this way There’s no escaping With each footfall felt Time stops Crashes, then it recedes out Of reach Insides melt As all things known now insignificant Hear it Coming Now There’s no Other Sound Everything is darkness Where is your God now?

Bended bow Brass quiver with poisoned arrows A plague not seen since ancient pharaohs Falchion drawn On your knees wretched vassal Protect your land defend your castle Weight In scales Import, enhance this oil to wine Each day closer to the end of times Skeleton All that’s left when that day comes In 21 seconds your life is done Plague Of crows All a murder carrying sorrow No longer find a need to harrow Fields Are gone Rivers of blood flow to the ocean Once a potion, now a poison Drink your fill Overflow your brittle cup Time is up, luck is fucked Adrenaline Courses through your icy veins What’s witnessed next drives you insane Ground erupting Tides are swelling Shadow rising Fiery black wings unfold Horrifying Look to the sky Stars are falling The end of all time Slowly plodding 21 seconds that’s all that’s left 18 seconds that’s one more breath 15 seconds what you got to do? 12 more seconds they’re coming for you 9 more seconds oh my God they’re close 8 more seconds then you’re a ghost 4 seconds now shed your regrets 2 more seconds now 1 more second You’re dead
