Scream into the Wind 08:45
lyrics
buy track
Lost in a fever dream Mouthing a silent scream Sanguine heart of brine Forever now enshrined So here it goes again Divisions that never end They don’t care for reason You might as well scream into the wind The world that is the world that was Worlds apart from words of heart Words escape the fevered dark Words are lost that miss the mark Chaos drift symposium Condensers clog the podium Decreeing what is true Splitting us all in two And here we go again Divisions that never end But they won’t hear a thing You might as well scream into the wind Hatching a lightless brood Formless whispers set the mood This world is in decline As our new kings recline And now here we go again Divisions that never end They censor and they spin You might as well scream into the wind

All throughout the day and long into the night I see your colors arching through the skies Like rings around the world in rigid testament To the establishment behind your eyes Visions of colored stone, scorching walls by will alone Obsidian and marble acts of giving Breathing life again, living flames beneath the skin Resounding architecture of the living The shadows of the earth long forgotten for their worth The seduction of restless philosophies Resurrecting love, for nostalgic memories And laying rest to past anomalies When the skies are ever gray, and the winds change day to day As they race across the sky over the ocean The years they do consume our beliefs like sweet perfume By will alone I set my mind in motion. Released from thoughts of age, erasing writing from a page A different paradigm of temporal shifting Slipping through causality, rifting true mortality Grafting arms and legs together for the uplifting Images of infamy aliased by frequency The hypertext is pounded in our eyes Ludivicco inverted, our visions perverted Standards of normalcy desensitize The shadows of the earth long forgotten for their worth The seduction of restless philosophies Resurrecting love, for nostalgic memories And laying rest to past anomalies Released from thoughts of age, erasing writing from a page A different paradigm of temporal shifting Slipping through causality, rifting true mortality Grafting arms and legs together for the lifting

Population Inversion 03:10
lyrics

Screaming bloody vomit In the form of lies Choking on the bullshit of Rule of law's demise And yet the masses swallow this Regurgitated shit Spreading like a cancer Twisting facts bit by bit Spreading lies and spreading hate To corrupt our youth Manipulating narratives But you can't change the truth Your utter lack of empathy Shows you lack a soul All you want is sex and money Power and control With the population inverted You're free to stage a coup To cheering from the millions Of people that you screw Just keep the propaganda flowing They'll forget it's not true And it will all fall into place Save for a lucky few

Exercises in Brutality 07:48
lyrics

Out of the frost of the waste land and into the heat of the storm Bearing the wind for a severing nothing remains of the world that once Died for its glory and honor and killed over money and power And littered the ground with its corpses and we are Dead to the world of existence and dead to the world of the null Dead to awareness of presence for nothing can stop us because we are Young and deteriorating, eternally left to our mating, and mentally regenerating And tortured by everything under the sun Under the sun Under the sun Scraping the edge of the nothing that penetrates into the ether and sets all the stars afire Leaving it all in the wake of the Engines of nuclear weaponry turned into peaceful machinery Gradually expanding our horizon on, on and on until there is Nothing left to discover and nothing left to recover Nothing left but ourselves and we’ll find we know nothing and everything Changes as we turn into our minds feeling the discord within our times Vibrating shaking the foundation forcing our energies up to the sky Endlessly wracking our brains for the final solution to everything Thoroughly searching the medium changing the things in our way of life Finally in the heat of our madness we hurt and betray all our brethren And lose all our formal connections and we’re out of reach and cry as we Enter the mess as is fitting turning existence and twisting and calling the chaos of entropy Driven by forces from beyond this plane There are always more places to follow the path of the beam Now in the hour of darkness the time of the three and the moment has come

Fury on the Fly 02:22
lyrics
buy track
All this hate and fear is making me Want to find some place to hide. All the world is falling down And now there is nowhere that we can hide. This is not a phase These are bad days of fury. What will we do when we are all Stuck with this new world we've destroyed? We are in an age of extinction And we are doing nothing now. Fury on the fly will not help. Fury on the fly will cannot help us.

Smear Campaign 02:20
lyrics
buy track
It’s how the mighty fall - it’s a smear campaign Blood spatters on the wall - it’s a smear campaign The truth doesn’t matter in a smear campaign Blame them for the splatter - it’s a smear campaign It’s easy to kill a reputation In the age of misinformation Just create an illusion To increase confusion Twist their words to change intent Spread it around once it’s bent Watch the hatred start to grow Watch the hatred overflow Once you’ve got enough saying things they know aren’t true The damage is done and they will follow you After that, feel free to bleed them dry Accumulating money is the reason why

Graverobber 01:11
lyrics

Dying strands of blackened sweat Beading down, Bracing for The sound of shovels hitting wood And soil moved aside Robbing graves, so depraved Just another job to do Robbing graves, fate is paved Just another day... Necklaces and watches Mark a successful day Nevermind the claw marks, The coffin was made that way “I thought I saw something stirring” I thought I heard you say Looks like the former owners Are now demanding pay

Transmutations 09:51

In the darkness I see no light For the wretched or their plight Creation of descending tears Mourning catching delirious fears Eviscerated and falling behind Into depression from this state of mind Slowly transforming from gold into lead Spreading infection and leaving the dead

Accretion 01:33
lyrics
buy track
In a closed system, all redistribution Means one person’s gain is another’s depletion If a thing in a system has a self-attraction The one with the most will end up with it all Accretion - Reaction - Advection - Convection Confusion - Exclusion - Eviction - Conviction If only one person has all of the money The money is worthless - there is nothing to buy There is no production if no one can purchase If no one can purchase there is no need to try Accretion - Reaction - Advection - Convection Confusion - Exclusion - Conviction - Extinction
