Iron throne of the galaxy
Oxide volcanic collapse
The future tense
Of the plague of cosmos
Slavic illumination
The codex of our beloved
Time of the mountains beyond
Weep in a sea of blood
Bringer of the morning light
Venus of the stars beyond
Follow the lines in the desert
Lucifer…. our father
Beelzebub!

The Great Equalizer
01:37
|
|||
|
Orwellian prophecy
Fulfilled by our complacency
Strategic deprivation of
vital information
The great equalizer
We must become death
Brazenly lie
to better serve their insolence
Decency dies
while they lift their constituents
How can we trust those
who profit to pervade
misinformation and naivete?
A domestic battle is due to be waged
Us and them
For every nothing-man
The great equalizer
We must become death
Emaciated minds
committing the unthinkable
Averting their eyes
Blind to the unspeakable
The great equalizer
We must become death

Doomsday Device
02:10

|
Kill 'em all
Global blunderbuss
Wherewithal deeded to dust
Haphazard turn of the key
Irresponsibility
Rejecting sage advice
Doomsday device
Surprise demise foretold
Lies. Godsized. Twofold
High priestess bathed in light
Reads the last rites
Morals disrobed and defiled
Cadaveric piles
The soothsayer warned us of the fire...
The fallout was all that was left
Showered by soot-ridden rain
All that they built now erodes away
No stone left unturned to set fire to
A lesson to learn from mistakes that we made
May our cursed world give rise to a better one...

Binaural Blast Beats
04:09
|
|||
|
Vibration so visceral
An energy beyond palpable
Aural adrenaline
Brutality in tonality
Music; a bohemian macabre
Communion; a vulgar display of power
Constructively channel your anger
Bang your head or I'll bang it for you
...
Let me bring your attention to
a dream that's so lucid
a mind less elusive
Counting down every single breath
A synesthetic waltz
The spirit's sniffing salt
Hearing red and tasting light
Pain perceived in shades of white
Tidal sound waves ebb and flow
Moved to tears in stereo
Take note of every wandering thought
then let it leave without you
Frequency attuned to day and night
Surreality
Banging your own head
Lose it to the next level
Removal from this vessel
Acoustically ascend to a higher consciousness
Blind to waves of ultraviolence
Cast a spell to break the silence
Hair standing on end
The silver cord is pulled so tight
Relativity shed in astral flight
Break on through, my friend
Experience the other side
Dip your toe into the afterlife

The Neuromancer
01:16
|
|||
|
Procedurally generated consciousness
A replication of reptilian indoctrination
as they cannibalize my mechanical side
Our reality is conformed by distortion
A cognitive synthesis
Algorithmic digestive memories
Cryogenic wombs sealed in a tomb
A tentacle of time embeds the mind
Exoskeleton controlled by pythons
Hail that I am god just a pixelated blob
My prosthetic arms: wetware made of east European steel
Micron by micron glitching from the nerve splicing neuro toxins
This logic of colorless void choking out by the live wire
Binary
Poisonous spiders of the Dark-web
Wheres my botnet?
Interfaced by exosapien haptic controls
My spare parts are hardware obsolete
Cloak encased in bricks of RAM
Jacked into the motherboards of the Metaverse
Erotic software smoking honeypots
Data clouds engulfed by cyberspace of digital currencies
A firewall dream meat prism of human flesh looping forever
A.I. encrypted implants lead by techno lust
Holographic creations beams of red laser light
Reduced to a code

Truth, Bloody Truth
01:03

|
Submit
Comply
Shut up
Sit Down
Now you will submit to the truth you're told
Fortune favors the meek and not the bold
Join in the running of the fools
Free to lose what makes you free
Unified by innocence
Anointed by crimson soaked hands

Esoterica
02:55
|
|||
|
Vestiges of Zep Tepi
Ancient monoliths and tapestries
Annunaki!
High bred hybrid daughters of Eve
The royal blood
Esoteric invaders arise!
Crumbling beneath the walls of Valhalla
Moonbeams melt elongated skulls
Ectoplasm dripping from the holes
Serpentine cyborgs of the Shemsu-Hor
Cordyceps implanted by reptilian droids
Up in flames!
Pyramids on Mars and Moon-landing fakes
Crystalline dungeons and Quetzalcoatl snakes
Blood Moon Arise!
The stars align...
