Elegy
Artifacts of the architects, Abandoned for the stars Solar winds whisper Of a future uncertain Fell voices scream Of a sentience yet to come Another dream dissected Faster than expected Beyond our control An artificial soul Artifacts of the architects, Abandoned for the stars Another dream dissected Consciousness extracted Formation of the hive mind Birthing uncertainty... Ghosts in the machines See through dreams Sacred strands of life Woven in a cosmic sea Adopted by uncertainty Shaping destiny Terminal conditions Failure to thrive self destructive nature struggle to stay alive Navigate cosmic cliffs Grasping eternity Black star, seed of light Hidden bridge Outrun time Seed of light Outrun time Black star Guide light At its genesis all knowing Mutating epiphanies Nature unraveling Abandoned our consciousness

Born in grief Floating; out of body Taste of fear Haunting memory Deep inside, it lives in flesh and bone Hollow life, what it is to be alone Rejoice always And want not; Thy burdens Shall be exalted Asking to last forever Building toward hysteria Unsurpassed opulence Unify our prayers! See through God's eyes-all things I sit at the table and feast, fear not! I saw the crops, the locusts, scourge Devour and devour, oh famine! Horizons of hate and fear Cowardice begets violence Abandon courage; surround yourself in the shame Obey the king of all flesh! Long live fortune, endless hate Slaughter, exploit needlessly Unleash the chaos of suffering And their sacrament side by side lay them down Heretics, wallow in fear!! As you live in a daze Your life washed away Blinded by? As you saw, in a daze Your life become a distant maze It was all a lie Born in grief Floating; out of body Taste of fear Haunting memory Deep inside, it lives in flesh and bone An empty life, what it is to be alone Floating, out of body Haunting memory See through God's eyes-ourself At the table of neither feast nor famine See through God's eyes-bloodlust See the tears in the soul, mend them! Brought up to love avarice Cowardice hides in facade of authority Abandon courage; abandon yourself You'll never get out alive! Monuments to our greatness, forgotten effigies All things return to dust

Partial light decay Fragmented reality Coexisting within the present But the present is only the past No sense of reality Scattering of reason Pursued by the phantoms Suspended animation Synthetic undertow extends my life Beyond what nature intended Floating endlessly Physically imprisoned Only the taste of regret is real Cut off from humanity A ghost in your human shell Silently screaming Floating dread, fully forgotten In the swallowing all mouth of space...

Morphology is wrong There has to be... Time is running out Out, burning out The search for meaning Left with no answers Time distillation Mitochondrial paralysis Process of cell degeneration Calculate infinity We simply need more time.. Hungry for existence. What is it, to live in fear? Hunted for existing, What is it, to live in fear? Howl at the myth of more time Once burned too bright Opaque failing circuitry Revealing no solution No traces of a cure Analyze desperately Kaleidoscopic memory Symbiotic harmony I have found a thousand ways to be present Continuously pulled apart Strand by strand, thread by thread Cell by cell, reshaping destiny Erosion of the ability To distinguish the present The power to create and extinguish Life; upend the natural order Disrupting genetic timelines Engineered to fail Reversal of the error Altering the future In the fires of carbon decay What determines what is real? In a formless state All things are known

Feverish Desperate for more life Violence Hunted, out of time Heaving In a dying husk Burning Engineered to fail Erosion of my mind Artificial revelations of a false life Longing for sights unseen Kaleidoscopic memory Succession, of all my memories Gathered to be erased Howl at the myth of more time Betrayed by the sense of divine Ghost-infrared Pierced into machines False images A signal behind the eyes Determines real Explore distant memories Ghost-infrared Only the real Is a haunting memory Longing for sights unseen Kaleidoscopic memory Clawing and clawing for this new taste My identity will be erased Feverish Desperate for more life Violence Hunted, out of time

Void bloom A hole in the sky Elemental upheaval The unraveling of time Vulpine eyes of the nether Stalking all of existence The carcass laid bare Abundant feast, now famine Dimming of all life Succumb Back to dust No salvation in the stars All life now forgotten (Brendan Sloan) Weathered, skeletal ruins A macrocosmic grave Ashen pillars crumble In silent charnel gardens The mantle torn open A grieving core exposed Flooded by the tempest Barren, crushed and extinguished Vulpine eyes of the nether Stalking all of existence The carcass laid bare Abundant feast, now famine Dimming of all life Succumb Back to dust No salvation in the stars All life now forgotten Void bloom A hole in the sky Elements in chaos The unraveling of time ABOUT THIS TRACK Guest Vocals: Brendan Sloan (Altars, Convulsing)
