Aetheral Reality was stirred Like a fog inhaled at the fringe of the eyesight Coalescent just long enough for the rapture He is no longer alone Gifted with a costly talent Chosen to perpetuate the old craft A forced farewell for the youth Meet the Henchmen, before whose path walls dissolve Gone gathering words and a little scare in its prime Coven hived within mountains like termites in wood Alcove bound carnations in wait The static regimen Taken away from infancy The static regimen Non corporal drill to walk the other side The static regimen The egregore's achieved Whence just promising pupils A vocation stirred awake A hand came from out of life As if dragged across the mirror Remembrances of an old self Like guide slopes in the descent to carnation The routine of the scare A training attuned with millennia The mission ends as feelings return...

Simian Cattle Whistle and they will come to fry Iron into their own hide Self branded in style for the slavery To exemplify a worship that will steer Their volatile allegiance is guaranteed (with full bellies and empty minds...) At times a few wise do revolt Whose forefathers voiced the brazen bull They squander their spit in useless warnings A librarian's crusade for the illiterate On the hunt for a wivern A tiny tentacle of a much bigger beast Whose flesh is ground for mankind Like a dog, is a land to his lice (Embody an object of worship...) Time to pour gasoline down the anthill The mob is armed The livestock is corralled The geese are sent to march A few wise still do revolt Newcomers in a long string of martyrs Still they squander their spit in useless warnings A librarian's crusade for the illiterate (On the trail of a hollow armor) Enticed paint by number rebellion On the hunt for a wivern A tiny tentacle of the Leviathan 3. Orphans Of Living Signals received The parasite awakes, in a pebble mind Devil sat on his shoulder Took over the reins The now fumble guiding a carrion Toy soldiers, they walk among us Activated tools of the trade, engineering rather than born With rage inoculated All life is fair game Triggered by the new game The cause is a fake but now the weapons are for real Raus, raus, raus Heard a click, then vaporised in pink mist Yet at night the haunting comes relentless Mutilated faces becoming Yet at night the haunting comes relentless Mutilated faces becoming One at war against the multitude, (engineer) rather than born Tearless eyes whipped by sand (Programmed) rather than raised Sleepless children run across (the ravaged lands) With the serene confidence of the invincible 4. Jupiter To Ignite Excelsior Like an evangel foreseen and staged We will ascend to the heights Setting other bodies in the sky In hope to there sow our life From created to creators In the image of God, makers of worlds An infinity of Babel Towers to defy Him Free of morals and gravity, wandering Higher, living lavishly the life of a god The pride to leave a mark, even into the great night sky Our desert islands to flee, as the mainland burns Forgot about the World's woes For we had higher matter to care for Namely Jupiter to ignite, a star is born, literally Steered the collisions, the mass increases, the core ignites The secret industries worked, concealed Sown the rocks that gravitate around Fathers of the Jovian System A progeny to enlighten...

Sovereigns Unknown High in the sky, watchful eyes in the sky Hovering overseers accounting men's deeds Listeners of your prayers, bearers of guidance Vril riding Sovereigns Unknown Nestled where old maps showed monsters Unknown places none dared to dwell Kept men off our shores, playing on their fears Like skillful fiddlers play their strings But soon the tales didn't suffice And an explorer ended our way To his peers he told his journey From desolation to luxuriance Flying clumsily, across the ice sea Our way came his tiny airplane Greeted him with warmth and showed him our world Still, he came back betraying Off our shores then came Their mountains of steel Spewing smoke across the skies Spat iron flies that we downed with ease The midges challenged the eagle On a fiery vessel he came Now returns sailing derelicts Counting his remaining hands Almost swept overboard From thousands a few were left Adrift in the wake of the hurricane The once victorious, cry seeing his might Flotsam adrift onto the tide But in the mind of unbelievers None of this has ever been Superstition blends in science's leaking infancy Upward come the prayers of men Nestling open their mouths in hope Begging the skies For the worm to come 6. Skyless This cave... Strange children once came out to face the light! A few found their way, backed their tracks, into the gloom...

Faith Puppeteers We wait, viper eyed shepherds To bleed flocks in devotion The altars, inverted wells of lifeblood Kings and queens Incarnated gods for you to adore Pervading your wombs, breeding puppeteers Weaving masks worn at war Seeded in onslaught rehearsed Spectatorly, channel the pain Of a fenced game watched and culled Venison flocking towards us, godlike decoys Sowed fear in theirs souls, faking solicitude Predation evolved into mimicking the prey Still we reap, dividing the herd Striving to dim this light mistakenly brought Idolatry reinforced, infants fed to Moloch With the fervour to serve the faith puppeteers Plentiful bellies for us to deflower Fetch your daughters to our sons And your sons to enslave Sellers of emotions granted their domesticity World lays obscene. We reign supreme! Will you meat ever learn? Good old times returning An unchanged matter, except for the ways An unhuman now given a human face The wise leave no remains Lifeblood All that suffering harvested Every year is a better yield Lifeblood All that suffering harvested Every year is a better yield 8. Brimstone Landscapes Infant souls came to this world Longing for given eyes With a craving for marvels Unbeknownst, the surprise to come Exiled off heaven All life lined for the final requiem Exiled off heaven Where in hell did they land? Dreams echo in their vacant minds Sentience fading to oblivion Yield to the uncivilized Those brimstone landscapes Upward we shall fly Exiled off heaven All life lined for the final requiem Exiled off heaven Yes in hell they did land Freeze the image in your minds A gleeful dream amidst torments Visualise lush over the waste Memories, the only archives Of a world evaporated Global matricide, leeches drill her skin Sorcerers' apprentices unleashed the pillage They scatter for cover, yet the land's bare They now lament about why this came upon them all Palliative care for the Earth's infection Who will dare build the ark? Flying castle a man made cloud We shall then sail the storms above With the duty of seeding These shores upon which we landed Those once were mountains (We're) bound to there sow life again Let our sons have sons until all mind is forgotten again Let fire resurrect, let everything be reborn 9.

Sapiens annihilated habilis, erectus, pithecanthropus Sapiens' turn has come to be doomed Bones over erectus, pithecanthropus Become the fossils for tomorrow to dig A lower cladistic echelon, ancestor... Facing the storm, facing perpetual upheaval Out of chaos the abyss yield newborn mountains to dwell Wandering, seemingly oblivious of destination Without a star to guide yet the path goes straight forward The dawn is rising, as earth bleeds fire Healing as a new skin, new world emerge out of the wounds Wandering, seemingly oblivious of destination Without a star to guide yet the path goes straight forward Those hills once were temples And they'll soon sail over their land Their nets bringing up old remains Scriptures forgotten, to be eroded Creatures go unseen and wither, civilizations to hibernate You will sow your last seeds and wither, bound in animality...
