Wandering deep into a mental endeavour Through the windy kingdom of the mind A river of thoughts from a thousand cold streams Always presumed futile, never rational No sense of direction or time Starving for a flash of coherence Worlds are born and die in an instant What goes down in the mind, stays in the mind Bizarre mirages and a rotten ambience A study of the sinister and macabre Visions unfold in unspeakable horror Viva la esprit, viva la revolution In moments the apparitions annihilate Whatever gained is gone and stays gone The dream is over and the ideas dead The methocha consumes me, absorbs me The dram is over and the ideas dead The methocha consumes me, absorbs me

The spiritually dead species We hold you in great envy The drums are calling us We cannot resist A grand design, our finest creation We created you, gave you life But we cannot control you Cannot wield you Please don't lead us Into an even greater darkness Awaiting the fast rising moon Calling for the great march Do not speak of him Never take his shape Never assume his form A statue of derision in art His cause is not yours We are for him a special cause Ignorant, deceptive We are You disappear from view What madness is this A disturbing pale space A shore for dead thoughts Who dare create such a thing No mind no spirit no heart Can imagine such a place Such a sense of abhorrence and awe

A most depraved and vicious tounge Misfortune finds him in eternal loops A true cynic a bona fide misanthrope There is no reward, salvation nor hope The integrity and conscience of man A torment placed upon him by himself Let his bells of truth and wisdom chime His words will echo in the dark hall of time His eyes smile while his soul howls He is for whom the clock ticks He is for whom the world turns around Send in the jester, send in the clown

This track is instrumental.
Creature paramount A malice construct Precision mechanized murder Send forth, the destroyer Carved in steel colossus A lapse in logic Nemesis of flesh Rise again, the machine Bringer of fate A storm of blades The calculus of genocide Engage, metal behemoth Wielder of plasma winds A system in extremiis Twisted automatous wrath Descend, almighty destroyer Apex of control and power A cybernetic triumph The rage of the machine Ignite, steel demon And destroy them all!

From that moment until now I feel drained and weary Disheartened with no sense of purpose Blackened eyes, I can see clearly Flowing through all ages For not to be there ever again Shards of an experiment failed Desperate tears now, moments of zen A ripple in the endless silver sea An image of my soul's reflection Such an unpleasant and painful truth It was a sham, my own projection Abnormal like a phobos anomaly On ever-changing paths seeking a cure Though I thought it would change The world became distant, reality obscure Cast adrift into the soul sphere Winds of time lift me ever higher Towards the spark that ignited it all It stares into darkness, breathing fire A burst of thunder in the skies To herald the end of my era One last grand marvelous homage To this, an existence ephemera My time here is over now Enter the hall of eidolon ultimate I hoped it would not be like this It is all shrouded, and infinite

The demon sheds his skin His star does not dwindle A menace to graceful amity A rasputin murder legend Cascades of venomous doctrines The poison complex dissolves Rise up and renounce A collapsed and dying star Bereft of all coherence Affixed to disgraced icons Convicted to dwell within Blizzards of the insufferable Limbo hath no agony Like the void Of sub-mortal existence Aeternum Our spirits collapsed The elements recombined Into a titanic pulse Of energy For our sun to implode into dusk And from the ruins The blackbird arise Before infinite justice appear And our species defend To have gone in circles In the labyrinth of infinity Yet again

A desperate cry and humanity's lament There is no-one to see, listen or repent No guiding paths - only traces in the frost Never to return - for we are truly lost Fading away into the crimson dark night Gone is our star who shone so bright And all we forgot - our knowledge and all Even we must dwindle - and then fall No shed tears, elegies or woes For our journey to the white meadows So ends our time in this world - for alas All things must pass - our lives, the hourglass
