Ilium
Album • 2020
In this world as humans play All life is dying every day Things we kill can’t be replaced And soon enough all is erased Stupid minds and coward acts Believing lies, ignoring facts Laughing as our world is dying Inmates run the Imbecylum Burn the witch The scientist The one who thinks Is on their list And those who care Should beware Dissention needs An exorcist In this world as humans scorn I pity everything that’s born All reason lost and hatred rules Let’s kill the wise and praise the fools Craven worms with nasty jeers The narcissists exploit their fears Think they’re safe but no denying Victims of the Imbecylum Burn the witch The scientist The one who thinks Is on their list And those who care Should beware Dissention needs An exorcist I feel alone When the mindless amass in a senseless drone Boiling with anger the masters have fed They will not stop until we are all dead I live in fear That the world will collapse in the coming years I feel for the ones who’ll inherit this earth Black Filling their brains All that remains Is just insane Playing this game No one can win Ultimate sin Can we begin Again All that we feel It must be real Why can’t they see It can’t be just me All of their greed Awakens a need To blindly proceed Marching On to A new Hell on Earth I feel alone When the mindless amass in a senseless drone Boiling with anger the masters have fed They will not stop until we are all dead I live in fear That the world will collapse in the coming years I feel for the ones who’ll inherit this earth

Product of a forced abortion Spirit evil to the core Foetal phantom rises and Becomes carcinivore Feeding on the ghosts of All the cancer that it cures Gathers strength for vengeance To unleash a bloody war From death See it rise Pure wrath unleashed From the carcinogeist Absorbing all the knowledge From minds upon the ward He tracks down his mother The murderess, the whore And as she screams in terror at The monster it’s become Only she can see its face Before her life’s undone Blood dream In her eyes Her final scream Feeds the carcinogeist Now it slips unnoticed Growing ever wise It vows to kill the species That caused carcinogeist Product of a forced abortion Spirit evil to the core Foetal phantom rises To become Earth’s overlord Invisible but deadly Destruction in his wake Humanity is slaughtered In a vast and crimson lake From death No one denies This world belongs To the carcinogeist

The year was 1748 When I received a call I had been playing Angry Birds But how could I be here at all? I knew the voice but not the name My battery was low They told me to come back right now I wasn’t sure if I should go It seems that I am just a traveller in time Detritus through the aeons Causing epochs to unwind I’ve lost all sense of purpose And all will to exist A fugitive in hiding Anachronistic nihilist abyss I saw the birth of dinosaurs With I myself not born I watched the fiery madness As the continents were formed Once I had killed Hitler Then hid myself away Somewhere in the recess of the past When I returned I found the world In even worse decay And left again forever as an outcast And now I travel with my phone And listen to the sounds That people from the future Never had the chance to make But now I know there is another one like me She wants to start the human race again And as the battery dies I see my phone recharge And next to me the woman Takes my hand She says ‘I know a place Where all that ever could have been Is waiting just for you And just for me’ Anachronistica It’s all that we desire It’s everything we want our world to be Anachronistica The time lines take us home And build for us a new eternity It seems we are just travellers in time Destroying all the aeons Causing epochs to unwind And as we travelled to this world I wondered to myself ‘Have we just left existence Or did we kill time itself?; But we have a new purpose And only we exist Anachronists

My flesh is creeping I can hardly breathe I should be sleeping But all my dreams deceive I see a shadow It’s taking form It comes into the light And my sanity is torn A figure so familiar And I begin to see An elder version of myself A future entity Harbinger of terror I’m haunted by the ghost of me I’m wracked with fear What am I doing here? I feel so cold I’m staring at my soul Tell me why you’ve Come to torture me I’m so frightened Haunted by the ghost of me I’ve come to tell you You must change and soon My pain goes on and on Pain caused by you Tell me why you’ve Come to torture me I’m so frightened Haunted by the ghost of me

I have been crucified so many times before And still so many think I want to bleed some more It feels like heresy But it’s your apathy That brings them begging at my door A messiah for the broken That is what I am I don’t know why I’ve been chosen Is it I’ve been damned? Still we’re marching strong together You won’t bring us down And when they come to me I can’t turn them away And even though I’m weak I welcome them to stay It seems that through my pain They can restore their brain To help them through another day A messiah for the broken That is what I am I don’t know why I’ve been chosen Is it I’ve been damned? Still we’re marching strong together You won’t bring us down A messiah for the broken That is what I am I don’t know why I’ve been chosen Is it I’ve been damned? Still we’re marching strong together You won’t bring us down

In the dream I cannot scream My blood begins to freeze I wonder if it sees me From the rusty carousel I cannot move I hear its shoes They squeak among the leaves Again I cannot get away As I relive this Hell And as I awaken There’s a sour smell of sweat My heart is racing faster My life is a disaster My panic still accelerates The circus is in town I know to take my life back I will have to kill a clown That noise is haunting me That old calliope It chills my bones I’m cold as stone And then I see my prey That painted smile is fake They’re all the same They thrive on pain And as I strangle him Those smirking eyes grow ever dim And now he’s doomed to be The first clown hanging from my tree Harlequin tree Your fruit so colourful Ornaments swing for me Harlequin tree Exact my vengeance Clowns are swaying in the breeze I have my suit all made My makeup for my grave And soon I will be free And as a church bell rang I knew soon I would hang From the harlequin tree Nobody ventures there They say there’s laughter there More chilling than a scream And haunts you in your dreams And drives you mad And as they cut them down To lay on cursed ground They knew they'd never be free Never to be free From the torment that writhes In their dreams every night From their fate with the Harlequin Tree

You follow the devil with all of mankind You hate what you fear with no reason or rhyme Seduction and glamour draw fools throughout time And still no one cares for the serpent maligned Human venom has poisoned the snake A marvel of nature a symbol of hate A horrible fiction denied of the facts And nobody cries when the snake is attacked I think it’s time That we respect the serpentine And who are we to judge them? We are the forked of tongue And whisper to each other As evil deeds are done And who are we to hate? The aggressor is mankind With poison tides we kill them And the serpent is maligned? I think it’s time That we respect the serpentine

Somewhere in a tower roams a horrid ghoulish beast He lusts for pain and misery wherever it’s released He’s very old and wrinkly, there’s no doubt he is insane He’s never had compassion, Uncle Rupert is his name You’re welcome to the show Hope you’ve no place to go Mindless and in a trance Watch all his puppets dance And when he’s finished playing puts them neatly in their box Some people say he’s crazy – yes, he’s crazy like a Fox He watches while the forests burn, he cannot stand the poor His propaganda rules the streets, he’s always wanting more The mining trolls and poisoned souls who play the corporate game The politicians that he owns will never take blame You’re welcome to the show Hope you’ve no place to go Mindless and in a trance Watch all his puppets dance Feel him pulling at your strings his power grows and grows Take a bow and force a smile for Uncle Rupert’s Puppet Show

I wonder how it can be That you are here with me Does anything exist at all? Does anyone hear when I call? Atoms and spaces People and places Question life With every breath Question birth And question death Question light And question dark Question air And everything that you perceive out there Am I in the throes of madness? Ecstasy consumed by sadness Am I god of my own making? Am I real or am I faking? I wonder is it true? That I am here with you Planets and galaxies Torment and ecstasy Question love And question hate Question choice And question fate Question right And question wrong Question air And question why it is you even care
Lurking He sees the girl is all alone Malice in his mind Heart as cold as stone The shape under the papers Lies out of sight So focused on his prize Enamored by the night Now the girl sees far too late The plunging knife her tragic fate But then villain hits the ground The unseen vagrant strikes him down He’s just a shadow Hidden from their world He slips into the night She runs away in fright (Vigilante) Vigilante vagrant (Death at night) Ghost in a dream (Vigilante) Vigilante vagrant It was like he’d never been Stalking They see the boy is all alone Malice in their minds Hatred in their bones The shape under the papers Has caught their eyes They will come back for him Upon the boy’s demise Now the boy sees far too late Their vicious blows now seal his fate Then the gang all turn around The homeless man is stricken down He’s just a shadow Watch this shadow bleed A victim of the night A vagrant homicide (Vigilante) Vigilante vagrant (Death at night) Ghost in a dream (Vigilante) Vigilante vagrant It was like he’d never been
