Essence of Existence
Album • 2006
Within the Gaea, we rest in secrecy, tied as a spirit-based existence We are still waiting at the edge of misery, with tire some patience. Sleeping plasma tranquillises our deep-carved pain Monsters of wisdom slowly grow 'til our minds are drained In this gallery of paintings - only empty frames remain As a perception of non-existence In this dark virtual vault, we are fed with ultimate mental energies To revitalise our frozen minds - ghosts full of prophecies Birth of primeval elements, split calyx of extinction New source of life spreads above the dead-time junctions "Ambrosia feeds the brain! Silent echoes live in darkness Following days are the same. Dimmed lights, dark tyranny" When shell we recognize the glacial shards of our frozen pasts? For now we saunter vainly in the knowledgeless wasteland One cannot find the answers to questions unknown, undefined Almighty gods rejoin us: What had thou have made us for?

The raven bevies meet to bury blooming summer And to welcome, the gales of arctic north For the bright pure reason, of imposing men Have passed away barely blink, of an eye ago The winter dawn fiercely hunts those Who want to prolong their miserable lives My memories are blurred almost unremembered All existence is gone with dead cortex The yearning souls hunger for another bright day As world approximates its winter apex. Anxious spirits mourn the decay of marvellous life As the shadow of eternal sleep falls on the countryside We change winter dreams to reality, now the time has come. Their inner selves are trodden down by dark grey skies and heavy rains All forms of life just vaporize; will to live flies into death’s chains. As grim time of frozen sunrise, dances with endless misty gloom Dying shadows cannot breathe, in the aeon of paralysed sun and lost moon We change winter dreams to reality, now the time has come. Anxious spirits mourn the decay of marvellous life As the shadow of mortal sleep falls on the countryside. The winter dawn, fiercely hunts those Who want to prolong, their miserable lives For when the Sol, is devoured by the clouds And fog hazed the, rest of its beams Once this god hides his corpse Beyond the skyline, land of shadows fades

Once they'd changed the cipher of life As they'd removed the acumen from the double spiral ''Shortened the existence; thus we fail to remember wisdom we'd possesed'' Natural intelligence degenerates over millennia And entombed wisdom lies deep under the shadow of arrogance, we breed our souls Primitive dogmas murder the culture their crawling terror blinds the instincts Flesh and essence in seeds of soul, in pre-programmed destiny they clandestine No one hunts there on that sacred ground to expose cloaked demons to unravel the old ones. Behind the veil that covers human minds, concealed information, about the past Of the humanity, of the architects, of the creators lies unknown Constant changes slowly kill the fear from the xenophobia All deserted minds shall decease. ''Travel without moving, communicate with no words Grasp tormenting emotions, share pleasures and ecstasy'' Travelling without moving, communication without words [Superimposed] Waves of brainfields, forgotten art of harmony. Grasp tormenting emotions, share pleasure and ecstasy Inearthed eons of enhancement, buried gifts from gods Shall rise again like a nova rises from the dust of a dying star Shall rise again like novas rise from the dust of dying stars - As the stars seek their path

''After we'd descent from the orbit to the arctic planet horizon We've seen faint sun dressed in blood upon the icy surface mirrored'' We encountered ruins of supreme ring-shaped polis, built in exquisite symmetry - City was fallen one edifice remained A building that could serve only as one thing: as the temple of Divine - We entered the shrine of horrid sights: Dreadful statues of hideous reptiles. Portraits of ancient beasts Who watched our steps on sacred floor with cruel eyes Alley adorn by 'em leads towards the glacial cell That hides the key to final state of our torn minds While lurid frost sues the beloved chill night And undying midnight speaks through the cries of the storms Magical sign of the wanton ruins shall invoke millenniums old horrible curse Neither gracious deceased beast entombed in the ice Before our eyes can redeem this doom: Creations of mine, thy spirits lived sepulchred, in the graves of thy homes Your waiting was endless: no love, could enter your hollow hearts. My creations, thy spirits lived sepulchred in the graves of thy bones Your waiting was so endless: no love entered your hollow hearts Still you are guests here in the realms of pain All tears are useless, right as I weep bloody rain. You had to struggle to stay alive on burdensome, path thee had to tread on Aeons passed by till thee recovered this place Only here real way commence - Confused by emotions... ''Thy souls that are constantly betrayed by own faith and desires Shall find the recompense at the freeing end of this final voyage'' Final illumination - guide to to the hidden haven, I shall provide thou for - Without flesh you follow! You had to struggle, to stay alive, on burdensome path, thee had tread on Aeons passed by till, thee recovered this place: only here, real way commence! We entered the shrine of horrid sights: dreadful statues of hideous reptiles

Thus creators of life were expelled as cruel despots reigned our shattered realm: They had bound the people's minds, in cocoons of materiality They had incarcerated, our flesh on a sole rock They'd erased our memories and eviscerated our essences To bury every individual in stench of spiritual swamp Mediocre beings that have destroyed the Earth face Transformed the thralls to slaves and cultivated new race This crisis brought new age: depraved existences of the wicked men Desolate refugees fatal realm and mighty tyrants safe in own cells Behaviour of thralls is controlled through mephitic procedures of infant lobotomy Intellect of man is drained into - secret treasury of dark sanctuary While feasting on our fragility Our sorrows and pains the lords belittled us - The last struggling clan. From the darkest mist bemused fugitives arose to flee from spiritual dying - Inevitable state Sufferings of insectoids are required for pleasure of lords The ultimate pain reigns the spiritless realm - This crisis brought new age: Despite our fight for liberation, the only freedom we reached Was in the chill embrace of bereavement! Mediocre beings that have destroyed the Earth face Transformed the thralls to slaves and cultivated neoteric race Technology of domination - we possess Emotionless minds - we oppress Ritual mental sacrifice - we request Subservient souls - we detest Thus creators of life were expelled As cruel despots have reigned our shattered realm For delight must be brought to the highest priest But we shall strive in this lost ravines of the Earth As last keen kin of genuine man until very end!

Within hollowed surface, beneath fresh mellow soil The beings are inhumed into the Earth, like some seeds of plants Thee sow the seeds as the herbs but as the trees they shall be grown For the souls of the trees within the semens as a tenet are thrown As the forest sings all the day and through the nights it whispers: 'When the Old ones return to Earth they shall evolve from own corpse' Their boughs, under the stars towards the heavens they point They dance, under the Sol in the harmony with wind's song - Destiny for all is equal - The Omenwood After the dawn, the clear flame disappears Thy eyes cannot see it 'gainst the rays of bright sun You want to thaw thy frozen hands sometimes As you wished to quench thy thirst with the burning flames for always. But the embers is everything you shall find there Spirits of trees ignite as the bright flames arise Deep within the eyes of fairy the passion burns: I can feel the bliss, the heat, and its cleansing might. The plasmas of their lives from burning wood’s released They are whipping me, steaming astral completes me. Ablaze phantoms clasped her body with their flashing tongues Thus her sleepless energy dreams in me forevermore. And that flame shalt burn, within my heart for eternity Sadness would surround my soul, if only one tree dies in vain. For whilst the forests vanish, it's like the gods dissolve The pagan gods who'd found a shelter inside of this grove. After they had to abscond from the metropolises, ere havoc of a deadly cross Into the apprehension of abysses depths and into the woods of downfall ...Into the woods!

With the shine of the stars the past had come to the Earth Unknown to a posthuman era. When the evolution changed among faint Waves of a pessimistic nihilism The development of consciousness commence. At that time the chosen one has conveyed the flame of the dawn Flounced in the thoughts of dying night. For he inaugurated new revolution [of subconsciousness] In the birth of revelation within the origin [of macrocosm] After the strike of cosmic maul had shattered the transcendental dimensions And overawed the mystical reflections Nothing could have risen, from the deafening silence Despite new land has opened itself, in the front of his mind. For he had come to annunciate The morn upon, the ruins of an extinct civilisation. The titanic vigour of existence: without the start Without the end, stays forever in an unstained soul Therefore I re-entered the ancient fields Where the intentions rise from the deep - Clean and pure! There, where the life blooms, in the abyssal lakes In the frozen mountains above It brings back the memories and the forgotten truth of passed days In the forms of shadows he proclaimed - the fall As the return of lost echoes from bottomless hollows We have deserted the sciences, for they cannot unveil exact reality (we have deserted exact reality) We have buried the religions, for their conceived fallacy (we have buried their fallacy) We have forgot the laws, for their subjective rule over the world (we have forgot to rule over the world) We’ve destroyed the courts, for they have been guided by the malicious (we have destroyed the malicious) Zephyr flows upon the virgin Earth Sol intensifies the hue of the nature Seeded life augments unseen in the seashore bays, striving for survival For he had descent to the labyrinth to bring absent equilibrium From genetic instincts once man was born Now he uncovers an ancient inhuman tomb
As darkening twilight sky, gives birth to stars - I turn my sight upwards I send the clouds of frigid steam, out of my dying mouth - Far Sol towards Bewitched by night my spirit leaves the flesh - Through endless space free I trek I furrow the infinity - of reflections; Distant limitless void - so extent; With no haunting shadow I flow alone through dense blackness Lost forever in the dominance of darkness, I am hidden, before the light, comes. Suddenly the waxing moon comes up on the sky - And an obscure, shadow is born behind me Colour of soil alters to blue, they are not dead! - But mist fills the air and it veils the moon and shadows die!
