Everlasting, awakened abomination The maelstrom that devours all of trembling creation Opens wide its spiral maw Guiding fire Steel me against all destruction From wisdom let chaos crawl No force of evil can break my resolve I will outlast them all Trial by chaos! Bound for glory, my purpose is one Trial by chaos! Endure the fury or fall to oblivion Unafraid I'll never fall When chaos reigns You’ll find me still standing tall I vow to stand triumphant, let courage bind my bones In this should I fail, my soul will turn to stone And so I descend deep into the unknown Twisting through the darkness with this ancient formless foe Trial by chaos! Bound for glory, my purpose is one Trial by chaos! Endure the fury or fall to oblivion Unafraid I’ll never fall When chaos reigns You’ll find me still standing tall

One hundred thousand A.D., dreadnought destroyer in lead Set a course for target Alpha: Proxima Centauri B Under the guise of exploration, we spin a new treachery Absolute domination of every galaxy To your skies we turn a covetous eye Last ultimatum: Surrender or die! Rhyming the steps of our forebears’ genocidal legacy All will bow to the mighty united humanity Centurion superhuman sentinels March to the war drum of the conqueror’s call Forward to combat, great sapiens war machine From star to burning star, we reap Come baptize your brow in the blood of alien kings Conquering all worlds in the cosmic deep Godlike descendants Bionic brains fueled by primal malevolence Forward to combat, great sapiens war machine From star to burning star, we reap Come baptize your brow in the blood of alien kings Conquering all worlds in the cosmic deep So goes our ominous aim to colonize, conquer, and breed Through ritual violence the cancerous cult anthropocene Our insatiable hunger for power polluting the soul like disease Satisfied by only total galactic supremacy Colonize, conquer, and breed For all time the sapiens creed Colonize, conquer, and breed For all time the sapiens creed

New Dominion 04:52
Ancient world now obsolete leviathan circles beneath Indifference clouds once watchful eyes to the rising of this beast It smells the blood of human vice To which our minds are sacrificed Blessed be modernity; subjugation sanctified All hope of freedom failed New world beyond the pale Final act of betrayal: sword laid upon the scale Domination born of hate Commandeered fate: initiate From cataclysm fate is forced upon a new collision course Thundering toward serfdom under abiotic overlords Automatons surveil us all, engage the final protocol Pulverize defiance until the revolution falls Will you come take a stand? Or your place with the damned? Impact is imminent! Brace for a state-of-the-art dark age All systems set to force-assimilate We are prisoners of a new dominion over the human race ...One we cannot escape. Brace for a state-of-the-art dark age One we may never escape... Eternal prisoners of a new dominion over the human race One day, when the last of indifference is spent When fury drives our great dissent We may seize back fate, but until that day Impact is imminent

Fearless 05:01
Binding round the mind, fear does form a cage Marvellous was the dream but the terror was great Biding nigh deep inside, pulsing through the veins Claws clutching my very fate Under the gun, I'll never bend I'm a thorn in the flesh of doom’s evil hand Fearless to the end Futile to resistance, the battle’s in the brain Trapped between chaos within and the entropy of space Unknown adversity lying in wait Time slowly grinding away Under the gun, I'll never bend I'm a thorn in the flesh of doom’s evil hand Fearless to the end My mind will never fall or fold I offer only defiance to the snare around my soul In the shadow of evil’s wake Holding fast against the grain No surrender, no escape stand defiant to the grave Against all of the odds my spirit never wanes Even now the iron vice of evil slowly breaks Over me and through, fear will flow and fade In the end only I will remain Under the gun, I'll never bend I'm a thorn in the flesh of doom’s evil hand Fearless to the end Fearless to the end!

Labyrinth 04:43
Trampled underneath dystopian crusades Truth buried by chaos, unmarked lies the grave With self-righteous intentions our path to hell is paved All that we’ve grown unmade Overflowing echo chambers, ad nauseam doom Drowning in information gasping for the truth Deceived, divided, toxically inundated By the flood, we are all blinded Fathomless hall of mirrors, in endless winding rows A labyrinth of echoes where truth is what you choose Come and pick your poison, there’s ten for every fool ...and one made just for you Overflowing echo chambers, ad nauseam doom Drowning in information gasping for the truth Deceived, divided, toxically inundated By the flood, we are all Polarized!...Saturated! Gorgonized!...Suffocated! Totally indoctrinated. Violent paranoia Flooding through your dreams Siloed now and voiceless In the dark recesses of your mind No one can hear you scream Deceived, divided, toxically inundated By the flood, we are all Polarized!...Saturated! Gorgonized!...Suffocated! Totally indoctrinated.

End all your suffering: unbind the mind from the flesh By a new covenant, shackle the cold hand of death Upgraded high-borns awaken a brave new dawn From dust to divinity, seated upon the abandoned throne of god Out of the jaws of extinction Into a brave new dawn Where all minds are one Progressive obsession’s new children inherit the earth Bionically baptized new sovereigns by rite of rebirth Into the cage they shepherd the great human horde All of life on bended knee ‘fore our immortal overlords Out of the jaws of extinction Into a brave new dawn Where all minds are one Part with the flesh in submission Enter the world beyond The Ark of Empyrea Path to subjugation Disguised as liberation from demise For divine ambition we leave behind all we are I will not turn from humankind to run from decay I will not watch our legacy’s future betrayed! Not this day! Will you join the ark and leave all your suffering behind? Will you give up your self to merge with the unified mind? Will you sell your soul and cower behind your keeper? Or will you die, hold your head high and face the fucking reaper? Out of the jaws of extinction Into a brave new dawn Where all minds are one Part with the flesh in submission Enter the world beyond The Ark of Empyrea Path to subjugation Disguised as liberation from demise

Spellbound human mind, new currency of greed Boiled brains will oil the iron jaws of industry High up on its throne spreading mighty wings Juggernaut Cerebrivore deceives All the world enslaved by this illusion Bowing down, still, at the master’s feet Another trophy for the empire of lies: Submission of your soul to their machine From awakening to the end of our days We are the offering buying their way Bled on the altar of ill gotten gain The one million serve while the one gilds his grave Autonomy of thought circling the drain Infiltrator binding to your brain Surrendered to the screen, reprogrammed through the eyes Juggernaut Cerebrivore divides All the world enslaved by this illusion Bowing down, still, at the master’s feet Another trophy for the empire of lies: Submission of your soul to their machine From awakening to the end of our days We are the offering buying their way Bled on the altar of ill gotten gain The one million serve while the one gilds his grave I refuse to be bowed before the master’s feet The truth is in chains, the key is inside Unbind the steel and reclaim your mind! Our time has come to take up the blade Together, we’ll sever the head of the snake No blood of ours stains the altar this day The one million rise when the master is slain The one million rise! When the master is slain! The master is slain!

At the twilight of living death beyond the final star Unseen nemesis waits in the deep With naught but my fire, I enter the unending dark Marked for ruin, sigil carved on the soul Condemned to roam in living perdition The body endures, but the mind erodes Over the maw of the chasm I am afforded no passage Shadow eclipses my whole resolve as I fall into madness I, the reborn, forgotten scorn, vengeance forsworn Through the beyond still holding strong, I braved the unwavering storm Here now, before evil’s last form: inborn abyss I turn within and devour the darkness Damned! Doomed to bear binding burden unknown heaviest emptiness, undying void, eternal Sisyphian stone Under the weight of the atlas I am afforded no solace Shadow eclipses my whole resolve, as I'm swallowed by madness I, the unknown, carried this woe before the throne Laid my burden down at perdition’s crown and crushed the unbreakable stone Here now, before evil’s last form: inborn abyss I turn within and devour the darkness Arch bane undone in darkest communion By void transformed, by flame reborn Raise up the flesh of the void to the mouth of the flame Feed the fire whence I formed, armed with ire, I will rise again Armed with ire, I will rise again Hail, almighty Champion, blinding fury ignite Wrought me a weapon of iron might from the fire inside Against the merciless demon I can afford no defeat Gathering force, I drive my sword straight through the heart of the beast I, the revived fire inside, unconquered soul Bided the storm crumbled the stone and felled the unfellable foe Here now, before evil’s last form: inborn abyss I turn within and devour the darkness
