Blasting forward through a filamentous sky Beckoned by the flash of exploding light My soul crosses over the Great Divide
Charging the void Isolated, I've been redeployed A rider on the crest Carry forth or plummet to death
Autopilot function has been overridden For Isolation subjects, choice has been forbidden But death and destruction are what I've been given
Charging the void Isolated, I've been redeployed A rider on the crest Carry forth or plummet to death
Particles known only in theory, within my grasp Entering the cloud of the exploded mass
To live is to die, disjunction seals our fate So many tyrants lie, pleading at the gates Regimes at an end with policies left to amend Where would the future lie if regimes had time to bide So bring unto me, morbid mastery I shall revoke the throne atop the stellar tree I choose a different path from those now dead in the mire They could not wield the flame of life. To which, now I conspire
I charge the void I've found the purpose Immortalize this life I will return to the surface A lust for control and power Has grown in isolation A sky that once brought hope and light Now brings me desolation I must wield the sands of time to reclaim what is mine
Stargazers have made the claims Of enocules bursting from Alshain Deep within the serpent's spire I forge a path that takes me higher
I've crossed the Great Divide Now I peer into the depths of death's door Through the rippling veil I acquire The dust of life that Cygnus obscures To the other side, I have done it I now command the draw of death's door To the relic Alshain, now I've got it A molecule like nothing before
Star fields of Aquila set ablaze Reap the ashes of the great Alshain
Relic Alshain Oh Shahin-i-tarazu, now my flesh is born anew
Within my hands, I hold the sands A sky of pillars gives life and land The blackest night unveiling death One inhaling, exhaling breath Of the swan with blackened wings outstretched A path unseen unfolds for me I charge the void and ascend the tree To the bird of morbid mastery
I heed the Cygnus call They will want the dust obtained through my gall I bring the gift of extended life No longer will control be born of strife I burn through disregarded space Dispatched, forgotten, now I stake my independent claim I will rule this stark domain
02. Cygnus Terminal
Through the black, the hull is stacked Taking in the haul from Alshain Growing cracks, but still intact Encroaching on the Cygnus domain Beacon light within my sight The terminal is glowing in space Symbol for the free, but not for me I'm preparing to plead my case
Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void All screams from inside are destroyed
I was served an injustice as head of the Guard Unbalanced and covetous was my charge
I have returned With malice that can't be unlearned I have arrived Like the rise of a massive tide
Cygnus Terminal
Iso Subject 5, where were you? Gone for 13 years and only aged 2
We deal with the terminal, we deal with death We are the bringers of balance; we are the lungs of the cosmic breath
Iso Subject 5, your tracker was damaged at take-off How could you survive? We thought you were gone
Cygnus Terminal
Iso Subject 5, you say that's not your name? Isolation must have twisted your brain
We deal with the terminal, we deal with death We are the bringers of balance, we are the lungs of the cosmic breath
Iso Subject 5, you've strayed from your tests You must have lost your mind Why don't we just kill you now and put this all to rest?
I crossed the Great Divide I now have command over time It's futile to object Now grant my parole from the Isolation Project
All the years trapped in silence All there was to confide in Was my waning sense of worth Now reprieved of the tests My soul is battered at best But I've lived to see my rebirth
Policies of my decree Once again, are enforced by me Epsilon, Pteropticon Failing now because of my leave LCD, at full capacity This is where I'll restart my work Take the names of those who caused me shame Be silent, swift, and deft on your search
Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void All screams from inside are destroyed
I have returned With malice that can't be unlearned I have arrived Like the rise of a massive tide
03. LCD (Liquid Crystal Disease)
On Epsilon, 14 billion strong Cygnus has always struggled for control; they told me it could not be done
Lies! All they need is a technogenic disease We supply for free
Parasites of technology So easily moved in line Addicted to the use of our Exclusive rights
Have them screened (x3) We feed off their disease
Track down the terrorist cells See who is on my side Interrogate the world While we stay out of sight, right
You choose a page; we'll pick apart your brain We track your eyes with our cameras; we see your pupils dilate
Subliminal are the ways that we tame you You're feeling proud of what you have consumed
Parasites of technology Addicted to our LCD screens Molded and sleek to gain your trust Now give yourself to us
Have them screened (x3) Liquid crystal disease
Intangible cyber life Too complacent to look outside We are shaping the world While we stay out of…
Parasites of technology Your addiction is a disease No regrets of a wasted life You cannot touch what you see
Death, seems the only way That you will even stray Think upon what you've lost As we archive your thoughts
I can use your remorse To steer my ship on its course Open the Oculus Fear Cygnus, fear Cygnus You can have claim to grounds Of Enocules I have found If you report to me Morbid mastery….. is yours
I turn the screens on Cygnus The cameras reading their eyes Affixed to every device They can tell no lies
Freedom of choice within What you are given No choice outside the small World that you live in
They have led you astray While I've been away I can quiet the noise I can give you a choice
I see Cygnus now as it truly is They claim to bring balance, but they cannot to this
World with ideals that can't be controlled by Shadows in the sky who lie
Parasites of technology The looking glass shows us the obscene I see myself disconnected I can wipe it clean
Have them screened (x3) Feed their disease Have them screened (x3) Liquid crystal disease
Cygnus always thought this planet was unbalanced I'll do what they could never do. A full-out cleansing by a thought out annihilation
04. Mountains Above The Sun
(instrumental)
05. Ultimate Artificer
Envelope the world in storms After a great reprieve Chaos and terror breed in my lies I will make you believe Master of ancient darkness Who lives by the black decree Looms over dark, flashing upbursts In facilities unseen
A parallax is forming Within the Sanctioned Sphere A parallax is forming An oculus to the stars appears
Ultimate artificer You live to spread fear Usurp the world in silence Quelling defiance
Low orbit power grids Placed by the Cygnus Creed Were used as a docking point That I now oversee Lightning ignites the air A glimpse of the grand design Cumulonimbus cloak Sprites explode to the sky
A parallax is forming Within the Sanctioned Sphere A parallax is forming An oculus to the stars appears
Ultimate artificer You live to spread fear Usurp the world in silence Quelling defiance
And the Reapers fly in Soon, the cleansing begins And no longer we crawl Before we rise, many must fall
Obelisk to the stars Your shadow splits the graves Of the ones who lived for you They have died in vain Obelisk to the stars Your shadow meets my eye You are obsolete because I am What you symbolize
Cygnus exploits the alliance Cygnus demands compliance
And the Reapers fly in Soon, the cleansing begins And no longer we crawl Before we rise, many must fall
Low orbit power grids Placed by the Cygnus Creed Ready the power Ready the machines
A parallax is forming Within the Sanctioned Sphere A parallax is forming An oculus to the stars appears
Ultimate artificer You live to spread fear Usurp the world in silence Quelling defiance
Ultimate artificer (x3)
06. Pteropticon
The screenings have been reviewed The targets have been compiled We're coming after you Swift justice with guile My eyes now blanket the world and beyond We are charged for the attack There is no turning back
I have gained the trust from all the peoples within the Sanctioned Spheres Epsilon and Cygnus: you have much to fear Neither of you could maintain the natural order; you've become unbound Like a weed that has to be plucked, I am breaking ground
Blackened wings outstretched over the sky Harbingers of death invading your mind Sentinels deployed to Earth Epsilon Flee from the Reaper Squadron: Pteropticon
The Reapers break through the clouds Missiles unleashed on the weak My terror kept under shroud Stealth fighters, black and sleek Compiling terrorist cells I get the help that I seek Taking down the Cygnus regime
Panic inspires chaos: the discordant order of things Before the wa
