War Vessel 04:55
Anchors raised and sails unbent, into the cosmic sea she went Behold her vast magnificence Fifty-thousand armored tons, clad bow to stern with iron guns Across the ocean, lands, and sky, advancing through enemy lines Hell rained down Chaos, death and fire With strength and speed unrivaled No recourse for survival The crimson fluid filled their dying lungs Armed to the teeth A monumental heap Into the soul-burning sun Underneath the moonshade of decreation Peace was never an option Peace was never an option War vessel Man-made death machine War vessel Slaughter paved the path to victory Into the soul-burning sun Underneath the moonshade of decreation Peace was never an option Peace was never an option War vessel Man-made death machine War vessel War vessel Man-made death machine War vessel Slaughter paved the path to victory Waves of raging blue Storm against her mighty hull Towards the canopy She touches the violet skies Washed away to bleeding shores Steadfast, all guns blazing forth Into the soul-burning sun Underneath the moonshade of decreation Peace was never an option Peace was never an option War vessel Man-made death machine War vessel War vessel Man-made death machine War vessel Slaughter paved the path to victory

Nocturneous 05:41
Deep in the well of a dream Every night Darkness falls From the crypts they crawl Black, faceless things come for me Morbid shapes From northwind storms In dark droves they swarm Sylphlike, piercing tongues, with bestial wings Horror beyond all perceived memory Grotesque distortions Prehensile paws latch to my flesh Vile perversions To desolate dreamscapes we voyage Nocturneous (Nocturneous) Nocturneous Terror beyond our wildest (dreams) Abhorrent visions A skyward climb to jagged peaks Vulgar perceptions Through nether pits and wretched lakes of agony Nocturneous (Nocturneous) Nocturneous Terror beyond our wildest dreams Daybreak hours slowly creep Still I hunger to shed this sleep Deep into the lurking night Long I watched with these wearied eyes Nocturneous (Nocturneous) Nocturneous Terror beyond our wildest dreams When will I wake from this dream?

Skybreaker 03:06
The sun bleeds a stain on the clouds Ethereal archways unbound As dusk breaks the firmament’s hold, A spirit’s ascension unfolds Falling from the sky, evolving with the stars Will we ever find our calling to break the sky apart? Among the starseeds and spheres, a spark of life Year after crestfallen year, the fates of time Have woven unbridled threads towards the end Immersed with light to pierce the night Falling from the sky, evolving with the stars Will we ever find our calling to break the sky apart? Harmonious gateways take form Above an inferior world Like beacons they call back their own From dust we take flight to our home Falling from the sky, evolving with the stars Will we ever find our calling to break the sky apart?

Gemini 05:02
Memories compressed Of future and past Drawn from the echoes of time Cosmic perception, a cascading flood By countless strands My life-force has spanned Mine is the link to our kind Parallel portrait yet divergent ways Oh, as thousands before Bound to an alternate world Our destinies were not to be Hereditary duality Face to face, the mirror speaks “I am you, you are me” Silent still we must remain Spiraled in synchronicity Face to face, you and I Two as one - Gemini Planets collide As our cells divide Born of symmetrical stars Matched in the shadows of tomorrow’s past Oh, as thousands before Bound to an alternate world Our destinies were not to be Hereditary duality Face to face, the mirror speaks “I am you, you are me” Silent still we must remain Spiraled in synchronicity Face to face, you and I Two as one - Gemini Coiled and intertwined I call to you From the other side Coiled and intertwined I call to you From the other side Our destinies were not to be Hereditary duality Face to face, the mirror speaks “I am you, you are me” Silent still we must remain Spiraled in synchronicity Face to face, you and I Two as one - Gemini

Towards the rich archaic heavens Towards the lack diorama You are the artist and the texture That plays with the mantle of the earth When the bleakest of powders Lie rooted to the starched stones And the roots that feed the peaking trees Embrace the sleeping stones Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the flower yard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life Green is the colour of my death As in winter-guise I swoop towards the ground Green is the landscape of my sorrow-filled passing Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the flower yard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life We are in flames Towards the dead archaic heavens We Are The Mantle and The Texture The alters, the mantle of the earth Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the flower yard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life

A stirring shadow spirals overhead To pierce the armored atmosphere Impending impact brings the end to our being Condemned to repeat time and history A calamity from the skies, on a crash course to collide Finite and fragile, Impotent and ephemeral Eight billion breaths force-fed with ash by death’s cosmic grasp In the face of disarray, guilt and remorse Lifeforms clinging as the final chapter closed Oh, in feverish obscurity The distant tremors echo near For all is dust from cradle to grave Hold tight and revere the hours that remain And with extinction comes a falling star Her hooves beat down this borrowed soil Oh, To bring forth the end Negation of existence Constrained to a universal funeral A planet void of use The future’s fragmentation Reduced to a universal funeral Condemned to repeat time and history Existential expiration For the banished and forgotten

Principles Breaking away From life’s expectations Shedding our skin Consciousness Of the enslaved Mind revolution Waking within Stargazers and dreamers, idealists and fools Will the waves come crashing down on you? Power surpassing the scepter and sword You called down the thunder, now reap the storm Chrysalis Stoking the flames Metamorphosis Of mind and soul An ethos of civilization endured By standing on the shoulders of those before Unable to fly with these lifeless wings Wisdom is in knowing you know nothing When all is said and done One for all, all for none Against the turning tide Shifting the paradigm The reconstruction of a wasted view A mind that cannot change, Cannot change anything Averse acceptance of a simple truth A mind that cannot change, Cannot change anything When all is said and done One for all, all for none Against the turning tide Shifting the paradigm Against the turning tide Shifting the paradigm

Nebulous gravitation, ghostlike fractals form Constellations out of view Torn from the firmament of Elysium Catalyst to creation Towering tendrils rise, scorched in ultraviolet Pathway to ancient Gods Hues of rust and amethyst, Emerald and cerulean Coiled within the tail of Serpentarius Massive clouds protrude like outstretched fingers Limbs of dust and whirling colour emersed Spires reaching through the labyrinth of time Nemesis divine The pillars of creation Like dreams that reach beyond The Empyrean Shielding newborn stars That cradle in its columns Primordial seeds surpass The darkest depths and highest mountain Amongst the Star Queen’s breast Soaring to the heavens Majestic sky fire Betwixt her steadfast branches Coiled within the tail of Serpentarius Massive clouds protrude like outstretched fingers Limbs of dust and whirling colour emersed Spires reaching through the labyrinth of time

Dying stars Slowly falling to nowhere Solar winds Bringer of my consciousness Boundless Mother of nightfall Father Of the abyss In death we embrace As the voice of the cold celestial sea Silently weeps The funeral hymn of totality Final breath Of the fragmented universe Zero dawn All remnants of man and Earth Boundless Mother of nightfall Father Of the abyss In death we embrace As the voice of the cold celestial sea Silently weeps The funeral hymn of totality Long since the cosmic spark and surge When life flickered fast in dimensional birth Entropy climbed and chaos converged With grace we now wait for our death to emerge Still time will stand With each grain of sand Erupting with endless colors One last passage Of my consciousness For ‘where all life dies, death lives” Boundless Mother of nightfall Father Of the abyss In death we embrace As the voice of the cold celestial sea Silently weeps The funeral hymn of totality Across the aeons…
