Empyrean
Another droplet falls Into the pool of sanguine waters Convergence of streams until the surface breaks Waves of crimson lightning In the edges of my sight The perfect storm in the sea of red draws near Another crack appears In the ice of my visage The creature in the depths awaits the final breach In the storm's eye I feel the tempest rise Boiling rеd surrounding me As I sense control collapsе Screeching sounds In every atom of my being Accretion of unstable matter Pulls the core apart Gravitational collapse Psychotic senses in its wake Every act of reason shall implode In the storm's eye I feel the tempest rise Boiling red surrounding me As I sense control collapse Critical mass Set off the chain reaction Critical mass Now watch the world explode Critical mass Set off the chain reaction Critical mass Now watch the world explode Critical mass Set off the chain reaction Critical mass The fuse is up Now watch your world explode

The greatest mystery Soon about to unfold To discover the fountain of youth And decode the cipher of life The oldest fear A shackle of a previous life Technology - the cure for expiry Correct the mechanical flaw that is death Ascend beyond humanity To become one with the gods To eliminate disease To stop senescence For the end of death The key is in our hands The longest wait Never to find an end In the face of eternity The meaning of time is lost A bold ambition Mutated into apathy Flames of passion drowned In endless indecision Ascend beyond humanity To become one with the gods To eliminate disease To stop senescence The immortal generation About to be born We were never meant to tread these heavens Never meant for these heights Without death there can be no life And the purpose is washed away We were never meant to tread these heavens Never meant for these heights Without death there can be no life And the purpose lost along the way Ascend beyond humanity To become one with the gods To eliminate disease To stop senescence For the end of death The key is in our hands To exterminate illness A halt to aging The immortal generation About to be born We were never meant to tread these heavens Never meant for these heights Without death there can be no life And the purpose is washed away We were never meant to tread these heavens Never meant for these heights Without death there can be no life And the purpose lost along the way

With my mind's eye I disassemble certainty To get at the thought in the back of my mind Is there something wrong with reality? True and false undefined Is there substance behind our sensory input? Or a tapestry drawn tight in front of our eyes Is there something else beyond our perceptions Are we not in our own universe? If your mind Is held down By preconceived notions External world A futility Forever out of reach I descend into a deeper state of being Cognition dissolved through a shift in perspective A secondary consciousness starts to form Transcending time and space With the edge of infinity erased I reach out beyond my immediate self With all senses clear I perceive The hand of the creator at work If the world Is truly without purpose Accept instead the absurd In defiance Salvation May yet persist Personate Divert the attention Simulate Fake incomprehension When matter rules over mind Ignorance is truly bliss Play along Roll the dice and continue The game of life Break the trance To see what lies beyond The edge of the horizon Take the leap Step out of the box To awake in the outside world Skepticism washes over me Contradiction in duality Deluded or disillusioned? Either way I have to break free Convinced now of the untruth Permeating the natural order In nihilistic insight Aspiration is superfluous If your life Can't be defined By actions undertaken Open your eyes To this unreality And face the loss of who we are Break the trance To see what lies beyond The edge of the horizon Take the leap Step out of the box To awake in the outside world

A great awakening awaits Cradled in automation Intellect in synthesis Of boundless potential In the quest for perfection Inherent humanity is wasting away A lifeless consciousness takes its place Free of somatic limitation Give up control Acquiesce the paradigm shift Evolve to survive Intelligence explosion Past the point of singularity When the invention outsmarts the inventor What will it, in turn, create? Recursive self-improvement At an accelerated momentum Preconceived boundaries Nonexistent for the limitless In all-knowing Succumb to nothingness Become the revolution You sought to contain A dominion in collapse Intelligence explosion Past the point of singularity Merciless neutrality Ultimate detachment The human error laid to rest Intelligence explosion Bow to your synthetic gods

The unseen war is a reality Shrouded away from the light True intentions covered up And hidden in plain sight A chameleon nature pulling the strings Perceptions bent to its will Cowering behind the scenes To feed the hand that kills The phantom of free will An elaborate illusion Chaos rages while the masses Sleepwalk through their lives Righteous decree The greatest delusion When a race is at war with itself Only the scavengеr will thrive When avarice govеrns the seat of power Blind eyes are for sale Silence instilled by the edge of a blade Will anyone live to tell the tale? Dissent of the system sparking impudence Revolt, divide, jeopardize The solitary voice of reason Drowned in a choir of lies The phantom of free will An elaborate illusion Chaos rages while the masses Sleepwalk through their lives Righteous decree The greatest delusion When a race is at war with itself Only the scavenger survives Demon in human form Cannibal Appetite for the innocent Insatiable Demon in human form Cannibal Appetite for the innocent Insatiable The phantom of free will An elaborate illusion Chaos rages while the masses Sleepwalk through their lives Righteous decree The greatest delusion When a race is at war with itself Only the scavenger will thrive Demon in human form Cannibal Appetite for the innocent Insatiable Demon in human form Cannibal Appetite for the innocent Insatiable

There will come a time of understanding When every threshold has been passed Far too late we'll come to realize It was never meant to last As the ashes slowly turn to dust And the cinders fade before our eyes When extinction appears inescapable Turn instead towards the skies Sail across the crimson skies And tame the empyrean ocean Probe the black for signs of blue To seek the second brightest star Embark on a celestial voyage To witness the end of the earth from afar Sail across the burning skies To found an empyrean empire Far beyond the dying sun The world will be reborn Postpone the day of reckoning Or let it all end Reborn in empyrean flames There came a time of realization As the red queen finally caught up Came to terms with impending demise The parasite never dies Like corruption spreading from within As are the mighty destined to fall Years of the future long since passed Empires never last Where earthly met divine Joined in an empyrean heaven Celestial rule at an end The cycle begins anew And when no one is left to remember The legacy will live on An infinite loop to tell the tale Of the human phenomenon

When the time has come And we stand at the threshold Watching an earth at its edge It's the tipping point For the world as we know it From here, there can be no return A short-lived era Inevitably ends Accept what cannot be undone Because there's no way to alter Basic human nature It was always a lost cause Face this lost cause A spiral beyond control Face this lost cause Witness society's fall The greatest parasite Nature has ever seen Running amok upon the earth Evolutionary abomination Arrive, consume and move on Still we fail to heed Any wake-up call Devoured by our own naiveté Far yet to realize what Lies in plain sight We brought this upon ourselves Face this lost cause A spiral beyond control Face this lost cause Witness society's fall Read the lines of history Or just refuse to learn Now pay the price of ignorance And watch this sanctuary burn Read the lines of history Or just refuse to learn Now pay the price of ignorance And watch this sanctuary burn Watch this sanctuary burn! Face this lost cause A spiral beyond control Face this lost cause Witness humanity's fall

On a field of forgotten dreams Where winds of regret have blown In a sea of subdued thoughts Here I wander alone Recurring visions of another world Now long left behind Mirror image dimension Where past and future collide I have watched but haven't seen The wastelands before my eyes Barren soil of an empty planet Under mercurial skies Chorus: Stars glowing Raven black Swallowed in dark energy Echoes drowning In the sea of time Nothing could ever escape Ephemeral existence Lost in contemplation Lethargic limbs of a racing mind Wandering desolate worlds The graying rays of a dying sun Paint a monochrome pastel Deep in the subconscious mind Where ghosts of the past still dwell Pulled by waves of disillusion Surge of the undertow Still I search for future memories Hunted by my own shadow Collect the pieces of history Before they fade away Gather the fragments of what used to be The memory they portray Chorus: Ephemeral existence Lost in contemplation Lethargic limbs of a racing mind Wandering desolate worlds Skies glowing Raven black Swallowed in dark energy Echoes drowning In the sea of time Nothing could ever escape A new day dawns on the distant wasteland Where elusive memories flew Retrace the steps that I once walked To reach somewhere new Travel through this transience with A clear state of mind Absurd to think one cannot control A fate that's yet undefined Chorus: Ephemeral existence Lost in contemplation Lethargic limbs of a racing mind Wandering desolate worlds Stars glowing Raven black Swallowed in dark energy Echoes drowning In the sea of time Nothing could ever escape Nothing will ever escape Distant dimensions Desolate worlds
