THE ADVENTURER
Wrapped in an angels wings
The devil burning at my bones
Heaven's dirty fingers
Scratchin' at the door to my soul
I'm flyin' so high
My feet are barely touching the ground
I'm wide awake and dreaming
Take me up and tear me down
Being without limit
Being here and yet so far
A double sided promise
Changing everything that you are
Come unto the Genie
Come unto your deepest desire
A deep dark magic
Burning with a cold, cold fire
A trickster blaze
Burning with a cold, cold fire
THE DIVIDE
I hear a simple song that sings to me
I see it's beauty and it's certain persuasion
I taste the numbers and they colour me like wine
Onto myself
I am the way
The hunter's song has been sung too long
In the halls of the ones who would lead us
The dogs of war will never settle the score
While their feeder's hand seeks to bleed us
With electric tongue and meaty hand
The giant rules from the shadows
Where the sheeple dream of a life beyond
Promising eternity it's belly full of lives
It hungers to be sated by the feast
Pointing to their Darwin and the evoluting man
In the dark, they conspire with the beast
A journey of the mind is not a journey of the flesh
Meaning isn't met beneath the cowl
Still the sheeple sing of something more beyond
I heard a simple song that sang to me
I saw it's beauty from a certain persuasion
I tasted numbers and they colored me like wine
I felt so fine
I feel so fine
I'm just fine
I feel just fine
Here like frost inside the soul of a sun
Fierce as lightning we dream like the seas
Stories untold, unfold and come to teach my name
Onto myself
I am the Way

COUNCIL OF THE ACOLYTES
If the tool plays the master
The master plays the fool
If a door's found standing open
Why must fools rush in
Standing too close to the flame
Only tempts the fire
And it will take much more than you've got
Or could ever hope to gain
We're warning you
We're telling you
Trust that we're holding
Secrets you should hear
You think we're scolding
But you really need to fear
Danger, danger Adventurer!
We have done the asking
But dare not share the ways
Of a sun that's ever basking in it's own bright rays
We're warning you
We're telling you
It consumes itself in it's flame
The flame of false messiah
And it will take much more than you've got
Or ever hope to gain
We're warning you
We're telling you
Yes I hear and believe what you say
But how can we triumph if we turn away
With this thing we might climb past the heavens
With this thing we might charge through the stars
With a will we must take what is given
The promise that lives in this child of mankind is ours to take beyond
To take beyond our ken
To rise with and to become
The beginning and the end of mankind

THE FIRST IMMORTALS
Hey, hey say
Watchya want today
Come on little animal
Come and steal your dreams
Nothing down
Nothing to pay
Keep your spirit
Tuck your little soul away
Come be the ghost inside this senseless thing
No need to fear it's light
Come find yourself
Beyond the darkness
Come and be one
Beyond the darkness
Be the One
Goodbye fear
Hello fate
Come into the emptiness
Come and feel that weight
Purest mind
Purest thought
Neither good nor evil
Come on and share the dream
We are the ghost inside this senseless thing
No need to fear our light
Come find yourself
Beyond the darkness
Be the One
Beyond the darkness
We the ONE
The one is THE ONE

When All Is Not

WHEN ALL IS NOT
With no end nor beginning
I am what is when all is not
I am the darkness on which is writ the light
I am the Red Queen
No give me your head!
I am the outside
Within which all exists
I am the inside
Without which nothing can abide
I am the lightning on which is writ the dark
You say you dreamed me
But I say I've been dreaming you
Ya, you
You seek to be me
Yet I am you
I am you
With no end nor beginning
I am what is when all is not
More than the darkness
More than the light

ASCENT INTO MADNESS
Once love was an easy thing
Not hard to understand
Two hearts, two minds, two souls
A simple state of man
Then YOU became and that all changed
You turned it all around
Now love it ain't no human thing
Not with the Machine in town
A billion minds together as one
A billion souls bright like the sun
A billion hearts beating in unison
This carnal sin
Oh, this thing we're in
It's not love
No, not that easy thing
Not hard to understand
That simple state of man
No, here we transcend the gods
Soar past this mortal coil
Here where we are as one
One with the Machine
A billion minds together as one
A billion lives never to be undone
A billion hearts ascend into madness
Once love was an easy thing
Not hard to understand
Two hearts, two minds, two souls
A simple state of man

Hallow'd Harvest

HALLOW'D HARVEST
I can see what you're showing me
But you're showing me in vain
It would take too much from me...
But why should I explain
What you are
What you see for me
Is antithetic and profane
A weak petard
A thin canard
A hollow boasting claim
What you suggest
Does not admit
To the greater truth
I speak of the Hallow'd Harvest
What you say
Is what I say
So we are both the same
You come to me
As I came to you
But still it's of the game
Whispered murmurs in our minds
That silent voice that speaks
Of choices meant of certain kind
Beyond all selfish pique
Truant themes insinuate
A depth beyond sublime
Hark we to this Hallow'd Harvest
It's a noise in an empty room
Brimming with empty things
It's a light where forever darkness
Reigns eternal king
It's the cry of a newborn something
With the promise of it's own eyes
This mask that conceals the specter
Is the cloak that reveals it's time

THE HALLS OF THE DEAD
Eyes closed
They lay there row on row
Silvered ghosts 'neath the cowls of their machines
No one knows what they'll know
That's what they know
In the Halls of the Dead there is no doubt
And no sunshine
There where only shadow fills the mind
See them here
See them there
See them everywhere
In the darkness
By the glow of the light they haunt their machines
So carefully tended
So faithfully mended
It's such a treat to serve in the halls of their Specter King
Where no sun shines
There where only shadow fills their minds
No end of saga
No new beginning
Merely a verse in the eternal masquerade
Life ever changing
Just rearranging
Or so they sing in the Halls of the Dead
Eyes closed
They lay there row on row
Silvered ghosts in the bowels of their machines
Only they'll know what they'll know
And so it goes
In the Halls of the Dead there can be no doubt
And no sunshine
There where the shadow lights the mind

THE RELIC
Here I stand
The last of man
No tears of sorrow wet my cheek
For souls that burned
When the worm did turn
Whose foolish daydreams
Turned to sleep
Yes this I've won
And though someday
I will be undone
The eye behind this mask
Will never fade
I am the endgame
The final chapter of man
As I go gently into that night
Oh, oh, oh....
Here I stand
The least of man
Humbly meek and mild I must confess
No great doer of deeds
No great will to succeed
But ever as you find me
So I am
The one and only me
Onto myself a singularity
I need no other to make me who I am
Here I stand
The last of man
A relic of the past
A lump of clay
And stand I must
Although some day this flesh will turn to dust
The eye beyond this mask
Will never die

THE ALEPH
We can see all before we
We can see all that's behind
And if we look into we
We can see there's no outside
We are the second coming
Of the prophet and the lie
We are the Aleph thick and thin
We are the Cosmic Eye
Yes the Cosmic I
The simple truth that has been waiting all this time
This time to say
"Welcome to the garden
Welcome to the life
Welcome to the coming of the soul
The Soul"
No Divine Comedy
No Divine Command
From this perspective of the greater man
No lonely selfish you
No cold and distant me
We have become this thing
That is we
Isn't you
Isn't me
All there is is US to be
Just a tiny sliver
Just a crack up on a wall
The end to all beginnings
The meaning of it all
We are the one true Aleph
We are the Cosmic Eye
We have all time
For all there is that lies before us
And our kind
We are of the garden
We are of the life
We are the coming of the Soul
The SOUL

Excellent classic metal. Feels like it was literally picked from the mid-70's. Classic

Loving the groove on this great album. At times it is soul-crushing and at times it is proggy metal which speaks to my heart. Killer shit!
