Hidden Within the Hive
06:52

Heaving, keep heaving, idle hands the devil’s workshop
Dreaming, I’m dreaming, my heart in the highlands
Leading, misleading, smoke and mirrors in the mirror
Scheming and feeding, Satan gets the honey
Hidden within the Hive - Hidden within the Hive
It is time to wake up outside the hive
Exposed and revealed, I am who I am
The buzzing sounds no more, only silence remain
High in the sky I see them, see-through wings that fly away...
Curtains rise, stage goes dark
Poke the nest like there’s no tomorrow
Full house, red crescent star
Hide your faith or hide yourself, there’s no exception
Followed day and night after night they point and gawk at my swollen tongue so stung
No drone can perform miracles and so my songs stay forever unsung
Screaming, keep screaming, I have no mouth and I must scream
Leaving, I’m leaving, to be or not to be
Hidden within the hive - Hidden within the hive
It is time to wake up, outside the hive
Exposed and revealed, I am who I am
The buzzing sounds no more, only silence remain
High in the sky I see them, see-through wings that fly away...

Limbless I Keep Reaching
04:30
|

Crack the whip, crack the old world
Ships roll in, ships roll out, the commerce of genocide
Around, around the middle passage
A continent scrambled and chained, marked Protectorate
Scourge of the triangular trade, maimed aboard the “Guineamen”
Limbless!
Let it rot, let it fester
Ignore the pain, ignore the shame and bury it deep inside
Where you are going it won't matter
Hands aplenty cut off and piled, heads skewered sky-high
The demigod of Stanley Falls, deep inside the “Heart of Darkness”
Limbless!
Monsieur Léon Rom, gallows and shackles when in Rome
Only freedom – Flowerbed. Decapitation - phantom pain?
Mutilate or Enslave? “The horror, the horror”

Far End of the Sprawl
03:39
|
|||
Easy prey, gentle eyes
Made me bring back poison thoughts to the nest
This world has gone straight to hell and we went with it
Bitter birth, then bitter death and in between the punishment of life!
The punishment of life!
I’ll tie you a rope and you can hang yourself from your neck
Flip this single coin, now that’s some riches, witch side to live?
Cut of his tail before the serpent rear its ugly head
I will forgive you, and at the far end of the sprawl I'll tie you a rope!
Jittery so jittery the beasts await
Dashing at first sight of blood and fear
I’ll tie you a rope and you can hang yourself from your neck
Another member to remember, out on the prowl
Off with his head before the serpent slithers his tail
I won’t forgive you and at the far end of the sprawl I'll tie you a rope!
Habitat gluttony, habitual butchery
Supply and demand for gore, greedy for more and more
Gutted lands and entrails galore, craving for my stinking offal remains!

His Words Hollow
06:16
|

When will you ever feel at home, if you feel homeless in your head?
Where are you supposed to go?
Unable to believe in anything anymore
Seeking truths where there are none
Your words just lies, your lies just words
Your mistakes, oh so well they reflect my life
Walk with us, walk with me or stay behind
Keep up now or you never will
Where are you supposed to go?
Storyteller, his words hollow through and through
Storyteller, he is the one we would never follow anywhere
All your memories were lost because you never slept deep enough
Stay awake in frenzy, seeking truths where there are none
Through the roaring silence a quiet whisper I heard
A new tedious sign of things to come
How dare you call yourself a fellow S.A.D
Take these pills and be on your way
Late, too late always too late
They can't help you unless you DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!
How hard can it be to do what you say and to say what you mean?
Take these pills and be on your way
Storyteller, his words hollow through and through
Storyteller, he is the one we would never follow anywhere

So Many Wounds
05:32
|
|||
Born in blood, squeezed out by tradition
Nursed by ill will, fed rejection
Lust for fire, maniacal research
Ambient answers, draining
Persistent memories
Black moon medicine
Beckoning silent ages
A god’s grave unburrowed
Found while terraforming
A god’s grave unburrowed
Worship our new habitat!
Longing for a place, exist it does no longer
Ruins and remains - Exhumed
Through the smoke, spewing forth famine pillars of sickness and starless skies
So many wounds!
Come now, O holy heathen gods of flesh
You speak life and I speak death
Why did you abandon me, to rot in this vault of wax?
Here is Arcadia, where I pluck the words of truth and lies
Where I pluck the windfallen eyes…
Why did you abandon me, to rot in this vault of wax?
Here is Arcadia, where I pluck the words of truth and lies
Where I pluck the windfallen eyes…
So many tiny, tiny wounds!
Come now, unholy heathen gods of flesh
You speak life and I speak death

Reinventing the Wheel
04:51
|
|||
Ascend straight from Hell! Descend from the heavens like a comet
Look upon what you have done, dear old Robert Oppenheimer
Kali, Kala, death or time to face the great destroyer
Most of us were silent, just two words were uttered: “It worked”
We knew that the world would never be the same again, ever again
Before my eyes
A thousand suns
Trimūrti
Trinity splendor
Kalachakra Saṃsāra, flinging the end of times
Dharmachakra Saṃsāra, trident, to end all life
Reinventing the wheel here and now, always
All is one!
Mushroom cloud rapture
Glowing, ever-flowing atom jiva
Look upon the king of snakes, he who set it all in motion
Coiled around Mount Mandara amidst the Cosmic Ocean
On a bed of naga, cradled by the churning sea
Dreaming of a lotus, seeking immortality, poisoned to be
Before my eyes
A thousand suns
Trimūrti
Trinity splendor
Kalachakra Saṃsāra, flinging the end of times
Dharmachakra Saṃsāra, trident, to end all life
Reinventing the wheel then and now, always
All is one!

Oh, the earth cried as we cracked it open
Animals devoured and gobbled, species after species
Depleted our own brave new world completely, a barren orb left to show and tell
A little too ambitious, we just don’t know when to stop
The devastation that we brought
Love might be the only way to move on and forgive
To stop fearing what others hold dear in their lives
Our only chance is walking together through the rubble and the decadence
We’ll just have to wait and see who’s gonna live the longest
Treeless, airless forests are now made out of chimneys
Making wastelands is what we do, and we do it good
If you’d reset it all and start all over we’d probably do it again
Out of sight out of mind fo(u)r years
Like vivid truths of a schizophrenic, playing with heatless fire
Another ark for another time, beneath a steel sky
Like walking dead on a lifeless planet, consumed and tossed away
And all those moments will be lost in time just like, tears in rain…
If you’d reset it all and start all over we’d probably do it again
The devastation that we brought

Who do you dream of, when the night slowly shrouds your mind?
Forced to stay wide awake hence this constant delirium
Cure me, now please
Horror visions, man-made famine
No birds singing, no kids playing
Family dinner, eat your own and pick your teeth with their bones!
Holodomor
A constellation of death
Holodomor
A display of decay
Holodomor
Hunger, lethargic “living”
Nightmares of a promised land
A whole region going mad
All the symptoms of long-term hunger, lethargic “living”
Holodomor
A constellation of death
Holodomor
A display of decay
Holodomor
Hunger, lethargic “living”
Nightmares of a promised land
A whole region going mad
All the symptoms of long-term hunger, lethargic “living”
Awoke to a bellow from my empty belly
Feels like the pulsating heartbeat of the void
