- Artificial Immortality
Technology will conquer, Biology will fall
Machines provide the means for the chosen few
To rise up and be "immortal"
Discard the body to elevate the intellect
Remove the head, remove the soul, implant the artificial
Remove the head, remove the soul, dehumanize...NO!
Shake off the chains
The constraints of your mortality
- Autopsy
If my body was broken open and you could look inside, would you only find flesh?
Just useless parts of an obsolete machine?
Would there be any sign of life?
Or would you only find death?
Would there be any evidence of a human soul trying to escape?
If a flame once burned within this shell.
Set me on fire one last time.
Is there a clear division of soul and spirit, marrow and joint?
- Cardiac Rebellion
From somewhere in the darkest depths
Within the cloth of secrets kept
Out of silence death maintained
Resounds a voice that shakes the frame
Listen now unto the call
Like nothing heard before
Living hearts begin to crawl
- Deep Heaven
(Feat. guest vocals by soprano Suzanne Richter)
Awakened from the shadows
Leaving behind that cold and silent planet
Moving through infinity
Into the embrace of heaven
Eternity has overtaken me
- Dichotomy
Dichotomy
(feat. guest vocals by Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter)
IN THIS HOUR THE TOWER SHALL FALL!
Initially they rationalized with futile speculations
Which brought about their ultimately fatal calculations
They sewed their own eyes shut
To protect them from the light
- End of the Age
The earth is shaking
Because of His wrath
The mountains tremble
At the sound of His voice
He pulls down the sky
To crush His enemies
He descends upon them with fire
He is clothed in greatness
- Endure
This life is an open wound that will not heal.
I cry out to God with all of my strength.
Desperately, I reach for Him in the night.
This misery keeps my eyes from closing, keeps my mouth from being able to speak.
Is this as far as the arm of God extends?
Has the fire burned itself out?
There is no profit in this way of thinking.
I must escape this frame of mind.
- Ex Nihilo
The time has come
Arise from death
Victory is close at hand
Take up the sword and follow me
Out of nothing into a new creation
A thousand decades of despair will pass away in an instant
You and I will be there
With hands raised in victory
- How Great Thou Art
Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
And when I think that God his Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on that cross my burden gladly bearing
- I AM
I'm. That. I'm.
In ages past
I spoke to man
Like man would speak to me
I rode upon the four high winds
And
Crushed adversity.
- Internal Illumination
Engage
Turn out the light
Internal illumination
And see, the earth is bright
With internal illumination
The ones who came before
Were only looking for decay
Forsaking and mistaking
- Mountain Of Souls
I am a ghost
A phantom in a solid world
Standing at the foothills of forever
With no strength to carry on
Every step I take
Shines light on my defective state
But I won't ever fade away
Eternity is black and white
- Necrotizing Fasciitis
"Make it sound nasty!"
Necrotizing Fasciitis.
Ooah... Oh, yeah... Destroy
Uaah... Destroy
Destroy, destroy, destroy.
Born in darkness
- No Fall Too Far
My heart has never been enough!
Breathing just barely gets me by!
For a time!
FOR A TIME!
The consequences of being human...
Won't be undone by human hands!
- Path Of The Beam
The crooked path is becoming straight
As we move toward perfection
That old black rider ever chasing
No longer sets the direction
We ride on a beam of light
On a wave of pure precision
Our souls arise in endless flight
And we are one in perfect fusion
- Ransom
The sky grows pale
And the sea turns black,
Solid darkness falls all around me.
Makes it hard to breath,
Makes it hard to think,
But the darkness is not empty.
It is bearing down upon me
- Self Existent
Into the darkened tomb
I walked but only found it empty
My mind is tormented
My soul is shaken
As a flame is tormented by the wind and rain
As the earth is shaken by an earthquake
My heart has accepted
What my eyes could never have believed
- The Epigone
There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said
I'm just repeating myself repeating someone else
Equally incapable of uttering a single new thought
Yet you are ever worthy of adoration
So how can I for a moment cease to lift my heart in praise?
Your name is glory
My song is victory
And I will keep on singing
- The Eyes Of The Storm
I cause.
Chaos
And confusion.
I put the sky
In.
Turmoil.
- The Magnetic Sky
Here at the end of the world
Planets fall and we are rising
Soul and sky are magnetizing
Here at the end of the world
We are witnessing together
The inception of forever
Time begins to bend
And then it breaks
- The Ocean Walker
I WALKED
I walked
Across the ocean
To the island
Of the DEAD
I CLIMBED
I climbed the mighty tidal-wave
All other
- The Planet Maker
I create
Beauty
Out of nothing
Majesty spins
From my hands
Worlds take form
Creation is torn
To
- The Sky Bearer
I Carried the sky on My BACK
I Caught it the day that it FELL
ALL
Of the world had turned BLACK
And stared into
THE MOUTH OF HELL
- The Sun Eater
With resolve I walked an UNTRAVELED PATH
In ANGUISH endured UNSPEAKABLE WRATH
I am the one who swallowed the sun
Who boldly declared
THE IMPOSSIBLE “DONE”
Perfection in mortal disguise
SEE IT BURNING WITHIN MY EYES
- The War Ender
I spoke to the heart of darkness
Let there be light
Let there
Let there be light
I spoke. to. the.
Heart of darkness
Let there
- The Weapon Breaker
THIS IS THE DAY YOU DIE
Murder
Murder and hatred
Infliction
Infliction of pain
And creation
Creation of SORROW
Murder and hatred
