Battling with the river of dreams I'm lost in thought Drowning in an intellectual stream My mind adrift The current carries me down to the sea of lunacy By the waves of madness engulfed I can't breathe My lifeline's been cut, no pharos in sight I plunge into the darkness of my reflection Lost in the void I open my mind Free from the bonds Leave the norm Now tear down the walls Go let loose your mind Now submerge your soul Unleash the mental flood Lost in the void I open my mind Free from the bonds Leave the norm The dams we've built around our minds They need to be broken Rivers must flow free Floating as the river of dreams I am the thought Integrated intellectual stream Our minds set free Overflowing the banks, a surge of clarity Tidal waves shatter the walls Beacons will fall as the oceans rise In lucidity flowing all minds Lost in the void I open my mind Free from the bonds Leave the norm

Pulsing green neon lights Decaying skyline, a view of the city at night Avarice and lust scraping the stars While pestilence seeps through the gutters and poisons our minds Blood turning to gold as the gears turn Inherent ideals, our ways are set in stone Sweat, blood, tears and fear Enslaved by empty words - we're not alive Shadows now fall filling our hearts Venom they feed us and leave us all empty and numb Draped in cloaks of gloom and smiling sedated Onwards we march, oblivious Blood turning to gold as the gears turn Inherent ideals, our ways are set in stone Sweat, blood, tears and fear Enslaved by empty words - we're not alive Tube fed mentality From the cradle to the grave A morbid morality A religion to enslave Shake off your cloak of oblivion Step out of mental decay Hollow hearts, empty minds Animate corpses keep the machine alive Avarice and lust scraping the stars Onwards we march, oblivious Blood turning to gold as the gears turn Inherent ideals, our ways are set in stone Sweat, blood, tears and fear Enslaved by empty words - sleepers awake Shake off your cloak of oblivion Step out of mental decay

Collective mind, a one way life Enslaved yet we feel free Keep us busy day and night We don't have time to see Protect the hive, keep safe the brood The machine must grow Provide them shelter, gather food The only life we know Medicated, drones have lost all senses Human bees with no mental defenses No sense of self, we move as one An entity we form Our bodies fail, die and decay Nothing stops the swarm Protect the hive, keep safe the brood The machine must grow Provide them shelter, gather food The only life we know Round the clock we cater to the queen Gears are turning, feeding the machine All hail the queen The drones are swarming Reigning supreme A new hive is forming Feed the machine The fuel is burning Bodies decay And the wheels keep turning Collective mind, a one way life Enslaved yet we feel free Keep us busy day and night We don't have time to see No sense of self, we move as one An entity we form Our bodies fail, die and decay Nothing stops the swarm Medicated, drones have lost all senses Human bees with no mental defenses Round the clock we cater to the queen Gears are turning, feeding the machine All hope's lost, no point in resistance Megahive is your future existence Megahive! No turning back, no point in resistance Megahive!

The message said the world was dying The planet's life was at an end The monuments of men were crumbling Cities drowning in the sand Demise of an ailing nation The machines of greed they fed They led their realm to starvation Now the engineers are dead Thus they turned the cradle into a grave Earth took back the treasures she once gave Deep among the ruins grew a thorn Extinction of a race, a new life was born Answering the last transmission We discovered a paradise A world of endless green And lifeforms never seen Our leaders started a mission We began our own demise The machines of greed we fed As a planet once more bled Thus we turned the cradle into a grave Taking back the treasures she once gave Her old scars are bleeding, Earth is torn How many times can nature be reborn - to another death Senseless We study but we never learn Ravenous We only see our gain Blind We fail to see the tables turn Deaf When nature roars in pain Citadels that graze the stars Slowly turning into scars Senseless We study but we never learn Ravenous We only see our gain Blind We fail to see the tables turn Deaf When nature roars in pain

Crushed Smashed to pieces and dust Neverending lust Devastated worlds, my hunger never Sated I am the gorging snake Everything dies in my wake A touch of death that will turn it all to Ashes Empty barren lands Swallowed by black sands The jaws of death, my hunger never Sated I am the starving drake Feed my eternal ache Through death and destruction I try to sooth my pain Blazes silencing the voices All those empty places The yearning still remains I am the starving demon I'm every shade of black I'll tear your world apart Chew it up and spit it back I am the fear in men I'm the face of hate I'll tear your world to pieces You can't escape your fate Endless cycle, nothing fills the void No emotions, another world destroyed Broken hope, my heart has turned to stone Swim through darkness, forever drift alone Crushed Smashed to pieces and dust Neverending lust Devastated worlds, my hunger never Sated I am the gorging snake Everything dies in my wake A touch of death that will turn it all to Ashes Empty barren lands Swallowed by black sands The jaws of death, my hunger never Sated I am the starving drake Feed my eternal ache Death and destruction won't take away my pain Blazes silencing the voices All those empty places Hollow space remains

The strings descending from the sky Like stings they pierce my flesh The pegs attaching to my arms My legs and a wire through the spine Pulled by a force beyond my reach My every move is orchestrated Petrified I lost my speech I can't see my eyes are painted Ruled by a voice that does not speak I fear my mind is growing weak Feel my spirit suffocating The chords just keep coordinating Skin has petrified Wooden features hide a soul A life so deep inside Painted face resigned control A lie this figurine Stiff and lifeless no more hope I dance oh so gracefully My stance reflects my deity As I move blind, deaf and dumb Feel my mind is getting numb My senses dull, my will is null Cut the wire, let me die The puppet bows and tips its hat The master laughs with no regret

Witness the arrival Hail the sons of fire Welcome the daughters of light Children of the stars We serve the celestial seven The seven princes of Hell Seraphim descendant from Heaven The damned, the angels that fell When the seven came, we saw a blazing sky We felt the soil shake and we watched the oceans dry Sacred scriptures said they were beings of creation We bought those ancient lies and paved our own damnation We worshipped them as gods; the lion, horse and dog The seven headed snake, the dragon and the ape And the shining one, the sword of heavenly fire Repaid we were with despair and broken desire We serve false gods of death We worship lords of war When the seven came, we saw a blazing sky We felt the soil shake and we watched the oceans dry Sacred scriptures said they were beings of creation We bought those ancient lies and paved our own damnation We worshipped them as gods; the lion, horse and dog The seven headed snake, the dragon and the ape And the shining one, the sword of heavenly fire Repaid we were with despair and broken desire Our children march to death We hail the mighty ones We serve the celestial seven The seven princes of Hell Seraphim descendant from Heaven The damned, the angels that fell We serve false gods of death We hail the mighty ones

Everyone is silent The blind prophet speaks of war He brings word of devastation Telling how humanity will be no more He was gazing at the Sun Until all he saw was red He kept gazing at the Sun Until his old eyes bled Dying when they found him His scorched skin burning red He traded his sight for visions His eyes were black and dead Now everyone is silent As he paints the tales of war And his words of devastation How death will rule forevermore Visions brought death and decay Gazing at the Sun Violence, starvation and pain He kept gazing at the Sun Followed his delusions Became messengers of death An insane man's call to arms They fought till the dying breath He kept gazing at the Sun every day All he ever saw was blood So on his people slay And keep dying in the mud Visions brought death and decay He kept gazing at the Sun Violence, starvation and pain Until his old eyes bled Slaves of a mad man's desire The prophet who speaks to the Sun He kept gazing as they died and his eyes bled He'll be gazing till the day he's dead The old man's mind is fried Lies, lies His sanity gone with his eyes Lies, lies Everyone listens As the prophet speaks of war He brings word of devastation Telling how humanity will be no more He was gazing at the Sun Until all he saw was red He kept gazing at the Sun Until his old eyes were dead Reborn when they found him His scorched skin burning red He traded sanity for visions His mind was blank and dead Now everyone is silent As they buy his tales of war Empty words of devastation Death and hate forevermore Visions brought death and decay He kept gazing at the Sun Violence, starvation and pain Gazing at the Sun Visions say tomorrow We'll be nevermore Silent whispers from the Sun Doom is at our door
