Hindrance of Existence
03:14

It eats your soul
It consumes the will
It fades the shine
A damage so permanent
All your strength going down the drain
Detrimental transition gone astray
Crippled beyond any physical limit
And the process took a mere minute
Far - and few between
A world of honor, no longer the owner
Transformed is the world, forever,
They thought of themselves oh so clever
Well it fell through their hands
Leaving a scorchmark of corroded lands
Free for them to wander and marvel
At their magnificent achievement
Chemical landscape with a price tag
Business is business, and money comes with no flag
Be glad to be out of harms way
And take your part in the modern day

The Observers
04:12
|
|||
Cruising through these barren wastes
Searching for sanctuary
Relentlessly hunted by them
Human tissue, but steel inside
Deserted are these lands
Weeks on end, no signs of life
Up in the sky you still see them
Ever watchful, scanning us all
Out in the cold, dark world
Circumstantially absent life
Human slaves long since converted
Powered by an external flame
Streams of light, a nightly event
No longer hiding as the need has passed
Seeking out all able bodies
Cybernetic creations in organic shells
Built to last, and to serve
Central spire with a kill control
Tying up all lose ends
A counter for the arrival
A crackling signal in your earpiece
The General comments on the choice
"Save the last bullet for yourselves!"
This chilling statement, his final words
Now their eyes are set on you!
A rush of machinery heading your way
You better run, you better hide
Or drown in a mechanical tide

Humanicide
03:26
|
|||
Ever-watchful they stand there
Impervious to the freezing rain
Protective gargoyles
Keepers of enforced silence
Scanners penetrate the skin
Reaching deep to uncover the soul
Fervent scavengers
Seekers of unspoken betrayal
Sudden is the moment
Wings expand, the hunt is on!
Steel-blue laser eyes
Machines made to deliver demise
Tonight they serve us death
Mechanicide to end the lies
Weakened flesh now bends to will
In wrath they are deviced
Darkened skies now hammer the streets
Piercing right down to the core
Forceful deliverance
Of the human flaw

Devour the Being
03:19
|
|||
Far behind us
the earth is burning
Disintegrating
in our eyes
This final journey
An escape through the stars
Planets all around us
cease to exist
The black hole is the key
An endless space of nothingness
Devouring our very being
Journey into the unknown
We know there is nothing
Take your last glimpse and try to forget
When the timeless beings run out of time
Back to square one, reversal of time
A universal collapse - Absolute implosion
Faces twisting, bodies in disarray
The painful redirection of all things that be
Ultimate cataclysm, proportions reduced to nothing
|

Singularity
04:17
|
|||
Infinite circles merging
The whole is the sum of nothing
Everything convolving to one
One morphing to all
Essential singularity
The confusion of reality
Discontinuous phases twist what is
Infinite contorted gravity
Displaced in space and time
Becoming something that should not be
Event horizon
Nothing escapes from here
The vortex of distorted mass
Shambled dimensions
An eternity compressed to an instant
Weaving the universe anew
The parallel lines of future and past
Torn to shreds
Construction through destruction
Divided into ghosts of infinity
|

Genetic Structures
03:06
|
|||
Submit the flaws to scrutiny
Artificial DNA enhancing the self
Destroy the index to make way
Continuous cloning towards perfection
Augmented make-up breeding superiority
Intellectual property of the chosen few
Intelligent design
Forced evolution
Reorder the structures
Compile it anew
To build a better product
Human 2.0
The construct
The organic mechanism
Purpose-built
And now redefined
Constant improvement
Never lagging behind
The cutting edge of design
Forever advanced
Disarray of the genome
Blending the sequence
Genetic structures
Torn down and recreated
Influx of blood
The conflux of improved design

Uncreation

"Gentlemen, gather 'round the table" A smile and a gesture follows.
Suspecting ulterior motives
The voice inside calls for strength
"We are here to address the issue" Barely hidden fear
The eyes, deceptive as they are,
A veil of truth to hide deceit
"Feel free to peruse the details" A paper lies prepared
Curiously ancient looking
"Just sign on the bottom line..."
"The solution stands in writing" Damned if there isn't something strange
Carried out like an empty shell
Hollow body with a crooked taint
The downward stumble
Crashing through the wall
Embraced by the darkness outside
Money in hand, you fall
A relieving breeze of air
To get the stench out of your lungs
On your way down, behold the nightmare
The world destroyed by the behest of your hand
"And thus it is written" The fatal contract binding
Selling the world
Was a deed coated in gold
"Our meeting has reached the end" The slither echoes in your mind
To this day, it drives you insane
A cosmic eye looking back at you
