Electric Ocean

electric ocean
black currents run
built here to entertain our emperor above
deep in its trenches
our human slaves
kept in containment well below the mighty waves
upon the surface
a war persists
against the traitors and the abolitionists
on those disrupting
this dark pursuit
the retribution will be swift and absolute
lords of galaxies we are
supercluster kings above
born you were to be devoured
miniscule and powerless to rise
from the emperor's tides
electric ocean
wet planets form
mere drops of water in an unrelenting storm
such fertile worlds we
inseminate
with the gift of life aware its suffering is great
their pain we guzzle
their fear we breathe
their deaths like pearls for us aglisten in the sea
should through some struggle
they flee our trap
prepared we are to make their universe collapse
lords of galaxies we are
supercluster kings above
born you were to be devoured
miniscule and powerless to rise
from the emperor's tides
electric ocean
in our image you were born
pathetic creatures that we from the waters tore
electric ocean
tiny ripples in a stream
obeying every fuckin' rule that we decree
electric ocean
your defenders will be purged
eternally you will remain herein submerged
electric ocean
where your heart is doomed to pound
electric ocean
where you know you're gonna drown
lords of galaxies we are
supercluster kings above
born you were to be devoured
miniscule and powerless to rise
from the emperor's tides

Adrift

|
|

|
adrift you have become
around some yellow sun
an instrument deployed
to ripple through the void
now is the time and this the space
from which you must achieve escape
now is the time and this a
dream from which you will awaken
your body here may die
with gravity entwined
while what you really are
flows free beyond the stars
now is the time and this the space
from which you must achieve escape
now is the time and this a
dream from which you will awaken
the messages abound
they're written in the sounds
a lesson musical
in every particle
now is the time and this the space
from which you must achieve escape
now is the time and this a
dream from which you will awaken

Black Forest
05:44
|
|
||
|
now here we are lost in a forest
with nothing here for us
but withered dead leaves on the ground
while the crows above us cry warnings
of destinies forming
within which the devil is crowned
so we march from trouble to trouble
through thickets and rubble
determined to reach the horizon alive
'cause if we don't make it
our promises sacred
will burn into ash on a funeral pile
remember the start of our desperate journey
from chaos to mercy
from out of the darkness back into the light
like seeds we were planted
in a garden abandoned
to choke in the weeds 'til we die
so we move from moment to moment
through sins and atonements
attempting to save what we can of our souls
the hour draws nearer
the echoes grow clearer
the sound of the footsteps that carry us home

The Shape You're In
07:59
|
|

do you hear the beast above
as it veers to your location
shoulda run but it's too late
and now you wrestle death
the ground beneath you turning red
the fire in your eyes goes cold
but i've seen down that rabbit hole
and listen close to me my friend
your time on earth is near the end
your body shakes but have no fear
the shape you're in is not your spirit
you will ride the falling leaves
as they spiral from the branches
'til you catch the wind
then from the galaxy you launch
and through the wall of space you punch
to find that the abyss is full
of patterns indescribable
so listen close to me my friend
your time on earth is near the end
your body breaks but have no fear
the shape you're in is not your spirit

Mutiny of the Species
03:39
|

this is our dominion that you occupy
from the darkest cavern to the starry sky
every holy mountain, every grain of sand
is gonna be delivered back into the ready hands
of the mutiny
it's a mutiny
it's a mutiny
of the species
singular of purpose will we break the chains
cosmic truth engulf us, lightning in our veins
we won't be divided, we won't be denied
we're gonna squeeze eternity itself into the mind
of the mutiny
it's a mutiny
it's a mutiny
of the species
it's a mutiny
it's a mutiny
it's a mutiny
of the species
you can choose to join us if you have the nerve
all we have to offer is a better world
there will no anguish, there will be no death
only jubilation sung with the immortal breath
of the mutiny
it's a mutiny
it's a mutiny
of the species

Revelations
06:04
|
|
||
|
look to the sky
what can it be
a shadow descending upon the white sea
is it terror you feel
or nothing at all
this tidy arrangement of rising and falling
away from the light
illusions divine
distracting again from the heavenly silence
the burden remains
black clouds at full speed
in darkness interred 'til you open your eyes to receive
revelations
through your mind the pillars bending
revelations
neverending smoke ascending
off of the anvil
into dank soil
the infinite serpents of lightning uncoil
'til out of the waters
and into the world
the ignorant emperor's banner unfurls
but if you have ears
you'll hear the refrain
feel red electricity flow through your veins
and if you have eyes
you'll see for a fact
that brain in your skull's almost ready to hatch
revelations
through your mind the pillars bending
revelations
neverending smoke ascending
revelations
from the dust you have arisen
revelations
who will free you from this prison
through your mind the pillars bending
neverending smoke ascending
from the dust you have arisen
who will free you from this prison
who will free you from this prison
grow a pair of ears to listen
grow a pair of eyes to witness
who will free you from this prison

The Great Filter
06:48
|
|
||
|
through the waves a message sways
its pulse through time repeating
soon a day the signal fades
and back into the noise recedes
are they heard, the magic words
up into the sky you mutter
can their meaning be discovered
through the barriers between
now and then the ground was cold
and the night was dark as nothin'
but the melody sung of them
carries high above the trees
through the great filter do you flow
tuned to a golden frequency
are you prepared to spill your soul
into the cosmic symphony
you will hear the music play
when our forces breach the surface
to preserve the higher purpose
your captivity betrays
they'll be rescued on that day
those who choose the path of freedom
and the rivers back to eden
wash this wicked world away
through the great filter do you flow
tuned to a golden frequency
are you prepared to spill your soul
into the cosmic symphony
the devil's hand has folded you in half
and falling to the shore you crack
twin giant shadows loom above
your broken body in the mud
no golden chariot descends
but in the dark awaits a friend
so take her hand and close your eyes
and up to paradise we'll rise
