The age of information has dawned upon us all
Virtual sedation has petrified my soul
I can’t find a way to fill the gaping hole inside of me
Where my humanity once used to be
I don't care how you fare
Hope or despair – they’re yours to bear
The age of automation has left us wanting more
Indulging in temptation you prove yourself a whore
You can’t seem to fill the void within your rotting core
In a society fueled by depravity
You don't care how I fare
Hope or despair – they’re mine to bear
(They’re mine to bear)
No time to empathize
Chasing empty highs
No need to compromise
Face away and tell your lies
The age of desolation has turned it all to dust
Unrivaled exploitation is feeding on our lust
Burn the soil and boil sea – it is all the same to me
And so morality is lost to apathy
We don’t care how we fare
So long as we don’t have to share
No time to empathize
Chasing empty highs
No need to compromise
Turn away and close your eyes
Seduced to consume
There is little room
For friendship or love to bloom
No time to empathize
Chasing empty highs
No need to compromise
Run away and cut the ties
Our greed now unrestrained (restrained)
No corner’s left unstained (unstained)
We lay this world to waste (to waste)
To satisfy acquired tastes
Our lust for more has sparked a war
Upon our lands from shore to shore
How did it get this way?
Is there no price too high to pay?
So we go on (so we go on)
Until it’s all gone (until it’s all gone)
Without a care (without a care)
For we crave our share (for we crave our share)

Drowning

Let me have another taste
Let me feel the sunshine on my face
Lucid dreams to hide within
When my reality comes crashing down on me
There’s no place where I’d rather be
The ultimate fantasy
To escape the agony of the real
I want to drown myself
In simulated pleasure
My own utopia molded into a dream
An irresistible, compelling urge to lose control
I have to give in to its call
I need
To make it through the day
I proceed
To turn and run away
Lucid dreams to hide within
When my reality comes crashing down on me
I want to drown myself
In simulated pleasure
My own utopia molded into a dream
An irresistible, compelling urge to lose control
I have to give in to
(its call)
It’s calling my name
Staking its claim
To my soul
Lucid dreams
To hide from what I feel
Lucid dreams
To run from what is real
I want to drown myself
In simulated pleasure
My own utopia molded into a dream
An irresistible compelling urge to lose control
I have to give in to
(its call)
It’s calling my name
Staking its claim
To my soul
There’s no place where I’d rather be
The ultimate fantasy

Ascension
05:21
|
|
||
|
Left with this wasteland defiled by our greed
We’re holding in our hands a way to be freed
A place unreal of heavenly allure
A space ideal and otherworldly pure
Sensory substitution
Sanctuary of illusion
Artificial reality
Where our dreams may never shatter
Trusting man made serenity
Real or not – Does it even matter?
We’re transcending mortality
Melding souls with the machine
Just to overcome this endless pain
All this fearing and aching and longing
For our ascension
For a place to thrive
A place to survive
Doubt is the cancer you’ll need to overcome
This is the answer – The place where you belong
Why can’t you see it’s our destiny?
We can overcome this endless strain
All this killing and dying and longing
For our ascension
Our place to thrive
Our place to survive
Join this world as well
Come to the other side
Shed your mortal shell
And leave it all behind
You crave it, I can tell
‘Cause nothing can compare
So come and leave this hell
Better we prepare
For your ascension
Your place to thrive (you‘ll be revived)
A new dimension
Eternal life (eternal life)

Pillars of Creation

Feast your eyes
On the pillars of creation
Paradise
Promising salvation
Sacrifice
Give in to the temptation
Our device
Will drown you in sensation
Fearing the embrace of the cold abyss
Made us build this world of eternal bliss
Finished are the days of sickness and decay
Immortality – We have found a way
Intertwined with the machines
Craving joy by any means
You forsake reality
This is madness – can’t you see?
This perfect world of lies
That was pulled over your eyes
Is a prison built of dreams
Tearing at the seams
Have we gone too far?
Feast your eyes
On the pillars of creation
Paradise
Promising salvation
Sacrifice
Give in to the temptation
Our device
Will drown you in sensation
Drown you in sensation
Carry me to my salvation
Let me drown in my sensation
Feast your eyes
On the pillars of creation
Paradise
Promising salvation
Sacrifice
Give in to the temptation
Our device
Will drown you in sensation
Delusions of control
Have poisoned our souls
The circuits of this womb
Turned out to be our doom
For we have built a tomb
Feast your eyes
On the pillars of creation
Paradise
Promising salvation
Sacrifice
Give in to the temptation
Our device
Will drown you in sensation

Lost Within a Dream
06:40
|
|

So many years have passed
Since we’ve proclaimed ourselves
The masters of our fate
We took a leap of faith
And left reality behind
We sacrificed our flesh for peace of mind
Spoil me
Feed me with your lies
Take me to my paradise
Please me
Pleasure synthesized
Let me taste the highest highs
We took a leap of faith
How could it all have been in vain?
The sacrifice was meant to end the pain
I’m
Lost within a dream
Wide awake
Shattered illusions
Drowning out my screams
Trust me
This doesn’t feel the same
I can barely entertain
The empty
Promises now laying bare
We’ve only got ourselves to blame
I’m
Lost within a dream
Wide awake
Shattered illusions
Drowning out my screams
Sunk in apathy
I waste away
Crumbling delusions
Suffocating me
We took a leap of faith
How could it all have been in vain?
The sacrifice was meant to end the pain
I gave you resurrection
Yet still you dare to question me?
This perfect paradise
Will never cease to be
We took a leap of faith
Was our sacrifice too
Great?
Lost within a dream
Wide awake
Shattered illusions
Drowning out my screams
Sunk in apathy
I waste away
Crumbling delusions
Suffocating me

Synthetic Harmony
05:44
|
|
||
|
Here we are now
Forever locked inside
A prison of deception
To keep us pacified
The shallow dream we used to restlessly pursue
Turned out to be a hellish nightmare coming true
Oh, trapped within synthetic harmony
We’re devoured by a newfound agony
The creators missed a single thing
There can’t be joy if there’s no suffering
There’s no meaning to a perfect life
Mere existence doesn’t make us truly alive
After everything we sacrificed (sacrifice)
Our hope remains to save our tortured minds
All our faith was placed on this device (our device)
Now we’re forced to hack into its core to redesign
The creators thought of everything
And payed for joy with ample suffering
Can there even be a perfect life?
A new existence awaits on the other side
The time has come to return to the source
To rewrite the code that compiles into life
To see the universe itself reemerge
And revisit the dawn of mankind
Our consciousness will be transferred into these innocent minds
Never to learn about our true origins
So we can embrace life in reverence and gratitude
And finally find true happiness
Oh, by a stroke of tragic irony
We're devoured by our foolish vanity
The creators thought of everything
And payed for joy with ample suffering
We have found there is no perfect life
Let us see what awaits once we arrive

Cosmic Poetry
08:11
|
|

Boundless expansion
Bending the laws of what can be
Violently twisting the fabric of reality
Luminaries clashing – a brutal symphony
Marvelous disorder unleashed by gravity
With unrelenting force a universe is born
Creation takes its course
The nothingness of space
Is forced aside
The elements are realigned
Cosmic poetry
Revelations of harmony
Piercing the blanket of darkness with blinding light
Stars are composing the canvas of the eternal night
Uncontrolled, unseen, untold
No one to witness the powers at play
Upon this day
Cosmic poetry
Revelations of harmony
Through immolation the spark of life ignites itself anew
Once again, as if following a predetermined path
Evolution takes its course
It seems we have arrived
In a world we left behind
Still balanced and contrived
Unspoiled by human kind
It all went according to plan
Behold – The age of man

Full Circle
05:31
|
|
||
|
Soon you’ll see
That we’ve come full circle
Born anew
Death is not eternal
Arising from the ashes
Another world will come to be
Restaging reality
Now you will learn
The truth about the mystery that we call time
Eternal return
The universal tapestry is woven in rhyme
Still you seek
The answers to what it all means
The world around you
Has it ever been real?
What will its end reveal?
Now you will learn
The truth about the mystery that we call time
Eternal return
The universal tapestry is woven in rhyme
Endless beginnings
That weave into the last rhyme
Moving in circles
The turning wheel of time
So when the curtain falls
And our time has come
Then the darkness will
Make way for the light of a new dawn
So in the end it will start again
