1.	Organic Machine 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Force fed thoughts Force fed lies Force fed guilt Scorn Stripped of all that is Stripped of all Stripped of all that was Stripped of all that never Will I am cloud I am breath I am truth I am lust I close my eyes to hide myself I close my eyes to hide my flame I close my eyes to hide my world Beyond this organic machine Force fed sins Force fed shame Thank God for I can walk ? Thank God for I can walk away I am cloud I am breath I am truth I am lust I close my eyes to hide myself I close my eyes to hide my flame I close my eyes to hide my world Beyond this organic machine
2.	Harvest the Fallen 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Ill with fear, Never dreaming Skies turn black Into the nothingness Seeds of hate In the garden of deception Fallen tears Harvesting but leaves Frozen by fear, lifeless they stare Seeds of hate In the garden of deception Harvesting but leaves Fallen from the trees
3.	Drowning 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Nailed to the ground Do you feel the eye crawling On your skin Trapped in your grave You're going under Pulling you down Dragging you in Bleeding Wake up, torn Apart Broken, destroyed Streaming to the core Faceless, you're falling Now, you're falling to your knees Now, you're begging for mercy Nothing but revenge Drowning Forcing your way Through the water A breath of air to escape No way out of this spiral Subjected to your own game Now, you're falling to your knees Now, you're begging for mercy Nothing but revenge Drowning
4.	Dimensions 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Explosion of an age behind me Going higher, past me, they fall down Dreams and screams Unearthly light In movement and alive I'm going further Wave after wave, Sailing endless winds Like the steady wheel of erosion Reaching further Dimensions Just a channel through dimensions Am I free or falling ? Shades of light and grey Sounds of high and low Smile and tear So near, still I climb Wave after wave, Sailing endless winds Like the steady wheel of erosion Reaching further Dimensions
5.	Washed Away 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Six eyes on the seventh hand Merging Path Break it all Fly through the grey of doubt Irony Smiles In my face All the blood spilled When all dreams dead, What's left to fight for ? When concrete turns to dust And the dirt is washed away Feel, breathe, see Feel, breathe, live Diverge, converge, diverge Implode, Explode, Implode Turning to an open space Just one stare at the sky! All the tears shed When all dreams are dead, What's left to fight for ? When concrete turns to dust And the dirt is washed away
6.	Fluid River 03:43	lyrics	buy track
What horror must invade the mind, Standing high and tall Through the tombs of all around, Making them the throne surround. Death is struck and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, Nothing shall remain unpunished. Let so much toil not be in vain. Day of wrath and terror looming! Heaven and earth to ash consuming. Like sheep in a herd Follow the Fashion Erode to the Fluid River Just judge of vengeance, Before the day of reckoning. To be consumed by eternal Fire, Burn Forever ! Grant them a place among the sheep, Separate them from the goats, When the accursed are silenced, Sentenced to piercing flames, Day of wrath and terror looming! Heaven and earth to ash consuming. Like sheep in a herd Follow the Fashion Erode to the Fluid River Walls of fire all around Burning cities to the ground Dark clouds, no horizon Sunlight erased Day of wrath and terror looming! Heaven and earth to ash consuming. Like sheep in a herd Follow the Fashion Erode to the Fluid River
7.	Banished Messiah 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Their greed becomes your need Their greed becomes your creed Their greed becomes your need Their greed becomes your creed Their coils holding onto you Their veins digging into you Subjected Their greed becomes your need Their greed becomes your creed Not worth your energy No giving, no taking Quench your Hunger Satisfy your thirst Ignore, Despise, Reject the Spineless Prophet of the weak Banished Messiah Silence is contempt Banished Messiah They're greed becomes your need They're greed becomes your creed Don't sacrifice the present For a future that will not happen Our very existence Is a work of art Useless, Worthless, no Salvation Prophet of the weak Banished Messiah Silence is contempt Banished Messiah Banished Messiah!

Reccurence Ripple effect Chain reaction Chaotic motion The essence, the pattern, the structure, the system. Exponential Increase Nonlinear Trajectories Cause is the effect concealed, effect is the cause revealed. Cause is the effect unmanifested, effect is the cause manifested Concrete manifestation of energy, Gnostic duality within the microcosm The opposite, soul and matter Substratum, individual cosmos Bursting Chaos Purity embraced We're heading To the source A sequence Transitioning Within a state Compound, complex, confined, combined Variations of a Dynamical system Cause is the effect concealed, effect is the cause revealed. Cause is the effect unmanifested, effect is the cause manifested Concrete manifestation of energy, Gnostic duality within the microcosm The opposite, soul and matter Substratum, individual cosmos
9.	As Eternity Ends... 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Entropy, Unity, Clarity, Purity Transcend the conscious Perpetual flow Climbing beyond the limits Inches from infinity Entropy, Unity, Clarity, Purity Intertwining Micro cosmos, Macro cosmos Encased in a cosmic shell Insignificant free motion Infinite chain, Deconstruct the design Transmogrified Astral awakening As Eternity ends. Where once was a universe Going its clockwork way, Now is only nothing Now is nothing Insignificant free motion Infinite chain, Deconstruct the design Transmogrified Astral awakening As Eternity ends.
10.	Bound in Flesh 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Hermetic Empathy Stuck in your cocoon Oblivious incomplete differentiation Of the self and the world. Praising media frenzy, Your 21st century Ubermensch Decadent narcissist Begging for respect Pretentious Iconophile Delusions of grandeur Bound in Flesh Self Proclaimed God Bound in Flesh Paradoxal realism Polluted Thoughts Emotionless Cancer Cut off my wings And burn the feathers Pretentious Iconophile Delusions of grandeur Bound in Flesh Self Proclaimed God Bound in Flesh
