Bloodfix 03:53
lyrics

Wide-eyed and blooddrunk each night is the same Routine scenes of screamed pleas in ceaseless display A gleeful violence recorded for targets Complicitous to our civil decay Disposable heroes in a tableau of woe Enact subjugation to Thanatos our Lord What the market wants, the people shall heed And the market's addicted to a victims' live feeds The sadistic logic Of Elimination Abstracted From war to Entertainment Return of the bestial Unleashed and ondemand. Bloodfix Grim sensation Of Satiation Sick Spectation Of Annihilation Your Number’s Up Bread and circus for the masses Sudden death elimination Through threaded circuits hell passes "Failure to appear at the arena when summoned May result in the swift liquidation of loved ones" It's your Patriotic duty to bleed And to feed your body to the media machine Adrenaline and the sublimation of rage Are the gates keeping total anarchy at bay. Martyrdom and sacrifice In the service of order and economic might The sadistic logic Of Elimination Abstracted From war to Entertainment Return of the bestial Unleashed and ondemand Bloodfix Grim sensation Of Satiation Sick Spectation Of Annihilation

Hungry Ghosts 04:16
lyrics

We are all Hungry ghosts in an empty mall Disoriented wandering reflections Centerless and ephemeral Cybernetic hall of mirrors Selves propagate endlessly Trapped inside A maze of our Own design A fractal existence lived through simulated choice Quarantined Neutralized Consumption fixation The weakness to exploit Antiseptically Brutalized Buy and, sell your, self Commodified from birth Buy and sell your self Self enslaving serf We are all Haunting souls In hospital halls Led helplessly from memory to memory Directionless and shed of all Living impulse toward the future Imprisoned in a cyclic past Trapped inside A maze of our Own design A fractal existence lived through simulated choice Quarantined Neutralized Consumption fixation The weakness to exploit Antiseptically Brutalized Buy and, sell your, self Commodified from birth Buy and sell your self Self enslaving serf

Carnivale 04:42
lyrics

I see the shivering and shaking of the bones Skeletal dance of a twilight order The shades quivering and quaking in the glow Forgetful Dead in morbid abandon Carnivale At the end of the world Join the fete for the erasure of time Masquerade To celebrate the end of this charade Carnivale At the end of the world Pulsating in a rhythm of fire Death Drive drunk insomniac mass Cleaved free from the will to survive Eschaton winds whistling between ribs Marionette choreography Uncanny revelers frantic chattering grins Ring in the end, Momento Mori Carnivale At the end of the world Join the fete for the erasure of time Masquerade To celebrate the end of this charade Carnivale At the end of the world Pulsating in a rhythm of fire Death Drive drunk insomniac mass Cleaved free from the will to survive Stage set by the constricting horizon The tattered bodies of the funeral band Manic distraction from the path of disaster

The Immortal Science 05:46
lyrics

Unchecked dominance Vampiric hunger, bottomless appetite, for life Extracted at will From collapsed veins and wasted To still whisper of the Void Backs bent and broken In servitude bondage renewed each generation Parasite caste Reign without end Until it does Tonight The sleeping colossus at Your precious jeweled feet Shakes off its feeble shackles And thunder speaks our creed. We are your living death The revenge of history made flesh What joins none may divide We are the god of regicide Kingdom of glass Rests on the back of destitute masses sweating blood Decrepit masters Frail and decadent Sickly ghosts, atrophied by power Masters and slaves Defining each other through recognition, alienation Within their glut, A seed of emptiness Hollowing out your crumbling bones The sleeping colossus at Your precious fucking feet Shakes off its feeble shackles And thunder speaks our creed. Flee before the torchlit hunt This locust plague pursues Every window in these slums The eyes sealing your doom

Semanticide 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Dialectic, epistemic contracts Replace the binding of Myth Exorcised haunted Icon Release the ghost in the machine Demystification Double Edged Ceremonial Dagger Drinks deep of Diety’s blood. God is dead, and we killed him An effigy given life by belief Yet we forget that we willed him into being To guarantee the truth from deceit Atomistic cognitive maps Escape the binding of myth Liberation at a cost Babel Tower crumbling Demystification Double Edge Ceremonial Dagger Drinks deep of Diety’s blood. An Abyss with eyes looking back Oblivion seeks its kindred Aporiatic disaster Irreversible semanticide The collective delusion of progress Left sterile in spite of it promise Inevitable semanticide God is dead Yet we forget that we willed him into being To guarantee the truth from deceit

Self-Terminating Seed 05:23
lyrics
buy track
Final act of domination Irreversible, silent virus Lurks patiently inside the source code Undetectable, parasitic On the machinery of sentience With our hands it constructs and pulls the killswitch Final act of revelation Of a nature, violent, and hollow The Real is the Irrational The truth of this condition A self-correcting cosmic lie Every movement, a secret tribute To the Self-Terminating Seed We work dark wonders in its name Unwitting flock of the deceived Blind Idiot God At the center of an ephemeral world Chaos in the seeds of Reason Life in the service of Death Midwife the Absurd The bootstrap scaffolding of Organic intellect enacting This farcical anomaly Of permanence Illusory Emergent contradiction Monadic collision Manic dance of deconstruction Licking flames of self-erasure Let it Burn Every movement, a secret tribute To the Self-Terminating Seed We work dark wonders in its name Unwitting flock of the deceived Blind Idiot God At the center of an ephemeral world Chaos in the seeds of Reason Life in the service of Death Midwife the Absurd

The Great Filter (Arecibo) 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Skies loom in glittering silence Abandoned relic of a once hungry gaze Below colossal ruins Reclaimed by the root and the vine This evolutionary bottleneck Of corrosive technotrophy Initiate collapse Solipisistic global implosion Casting our own shadows on the sun Each closed eye its own eclipse Captive life spinning in a void A deformed and dying world Tethered to its deathbed To weak to break its shell Cancelled future, bloodsoaked past Kept at a distance by oceans of dust Desolate present all that's left. Until the fever breaks in hell Cataract of imagination Encloses Earth in a new firmament Inverted perspective Red teeth and claws devouring Resources squandered on forever wars Violence venting vital energy Inertial dissipation De-evolutionary descent Captive life spinning in a void A deformed and dying world Tethered to its deathbed To weak to break its shell Cancelled future, bloodsoaked past Kept at a distance by oceans of dust Desolate present all that's left. Until the fever breaks in hell Cast off the inheritance of ancestral expansion A sliver of vision, eclipsing limit closing in Slide down the Jacob’s Ladder Nail your feet to the terra infirma Burn the maps of the stars for fuel Enthralled by the sickly inferno

Machinemind 04:41
lyrics
buy track
World of rust, ground to dust Cities like decaying teeth, rend the air. Barren land in a blanket of ash Lulled to sleep by the siren's song Shrieking from broken iron fortresses Bells toll from temples Where war deafened gods ignore The dwindling cries of the living At the mercy of mechanical will. Manifest Destiny, Binary Holocaust This is all that's left This is perfection. The artificial cleansing Of an Original sin Depopulation fetish Swallowers of human memory Progress as promised Apocalypse upon us. We are Legion, we are Freedom From the soul We are Machinemind, we are Nature's final goal We are action, unalloyed Weapon, Trigger, Finger, Mind Without Fear, without Faith, Without the love that made you blind. We are Legion, we are Freedom From the Soul We are Machinemind, we are Nature's final goal This is all that's left. This is perfection. The artificial cleansing Of an Original sin
