Apophis

Before creation
Before man
Only chaos
Nothing to comprehend
And from the chaos
Rose the gods
Divine beings made to rule this world
An equilibrium of power made to guarantee
That mortal and immortal life can coexist eternally
When the clash of light and darkness peaked
A sibling seeks aid for a vulgar deed
Brother
Join me
Apophis
Serpent of the Nile
Brother
We’ll bring the end to it all
We’ll bring the end to it all
I’m the bearer of boundless might
Balance, order, god-given right
I will never dare to sacrifice
My duty here, eternal life
Those who destroy the lie, promote order
Those who promote the good, will erase the evil
As fullness casts out appetite
Clothes cover the nude and heaven clears up after a storm
Brother
Join me
Apophis
Eater of souls
Brother
We’ll bring an end to this world
Where questions wither
New answers bloom
Ending his reign
To befall this land with darkness
Unlight entombs
The mortal realm
Embodiment of chaos
Gods of sin
I have not committed sin, robbery with violence, adultery
I have not shut my ears to the words of truth
I have not multiplied my words in speaking
I have not debauched the wife of any man
I have not slain men and women
I have not purloined offerings
I have not polluted myself
I have not acted with evil rage
I have not attacked any man
I have not been an eavesdropper, angry without just cause
I have not blasphemed, against the king
I have not judged with undue haste
I have not carried away food
I have not uttered lies, curses
I have not pried into matters
I have not stolen, grain, cultivated land
The property of the gods
Gods of sin, gods of sin
Join my reign, not your reign
Gods of sin, gods of sin
The sun will fail to rise
I’m the keeper of bliss and plight
Night, day, circle of life
I will always make the sacrifice
My duty calls, guardian of light
You don’t understand balance of life
If I must go, you too will die
This rivalry until the end of time
Unbroken circle, constant fight
No use in trying to expedite
This is our fate, the stars aligned
Futile task a brother to incite
On the horizon you will wait each night
You know your place and I know mine
Take it as a blessing in disguise
You will never take me by surprise
My work is done
The sun will rise

Bury the Crown
04:38
|
|||
Ruler on his throne up high
Chosen by god to bleed us dry
For generations we endured
No choice remains
We have to rise up
Bury the crown
Into the ashes
Of cities that burned
To be relinquished
Bury the crown
Beneath the ruins
Of palaces scorched
To be forgotten
You clipped the herd you were to tend until you reached the bone
Decimated harmless sheep a pack of wolves remains
Corrupted eyes won’t see what’s right a blackened heart will reign
Iron fist oppressing us, Infested mind
Fear, pain, anguish
There is an answer to our suffering
We have to rise up, overthrow the king
Resist and join our ranks my friend
Oppression comes to an end
They minimized our liberty
Yet still tell us we are free
Bury the crown
Into the ashes of cities that burned
To be relinquished
Bury the crown
Beneath the ruins of palaces scorched
To be forgotten
A monarchy that went astray, take back what’s ours and make them pay
Reap what you sow, you earned our rage, gold won’t save you from revenge
Tyrant may be in denial, join forces make him face the trial
Betrayed his vows, abused his power punishment, he will perish
We have found the answer to our suffering
Ending his era of oppression
Hang him
Kill him
Slay him
Erase him
Hang him
Kill him
Slay him
Erase him
King, dictator, despot dies
And not a single person cries
All your debts in blood repaid
Your legacy will fade
Blue blood runs cold

Cling to Existence
05:02
|
|||
My senses sharpen as I’m shot out
Through the canopy
Feels like I’m being dragged
Through rows of sharp uneven teeth
My face, my neck, my wrists, my ankles sting from cold
My body is a freezing mass of expanding pain
Trapped in the storm
Cling to existence
Cheating death
Cling to existence
Freefalling through the vastness of the sky
Save your life
Freefalling straight into hurricane’s eye
Stay alive
I’m tumbling to certain demise
Constant turning
How can it be that I’m alive?
Death is yearning
Since the ejection I did not have a chance to breathe
The oxygen mask flopping wildly against my face
I force my numb hands to obey and to control
And as I grab the mask it is survival I behold
Ever struggling
Cling to existence
Cheating death
Cling to existence
Freefalling through the vastness of the sky
Save your life
Freefalling straight into hurricane’s eye
Stay alive
You’re conscious
In spite of everything you’re still here
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on
You might make it
You’re responsive, you’re thinking
You know what’s going on
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
I’m tumbling to certain demise
Constant turning
How can it be that I’m alive?
Death is yearning
I’m getting closer to the ground
And suddenly see trees
I grit my teeth
I close my eyes
Movement stops
And I’m alive

The Great Filter
05:48
|
|||
There is a great filter that every form of life
Must cross
It determines the ability to continue
Moving forward or if all must forever stop
But
Have we already passed it
Or will we fall?
Could we be could we be the first multiplanetary species
Might we be might already be on the brink of existence
A challenge so immensely hard to overcome
That everything, almost everything is doomed to fail
Human technology is still in its infancy
How could we possibly have found them
Absence of evidence is not
Evidence of absence
They might be
Lost and long forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
The great
Great filter
Great filter takes us all
The great
Great filter
Great filter rise and fall
But
If we already passed it
Why haven’t all?
It might be the nature of intelligence to destroy itself,
Or it is the nature of thinking beings to destroy each other
Life might face recurring times of natural disasters
Or everyone is listening but no one is transmitting
Humanity is still in its infancy
Still in quarrels with each other
Absence of evidence is not
Evidence of absence
We will be
Lost and long forgotten
Forgotten
The great
Great filter
Great filter takes us all
The great
Great filter
Great filter rise and fall
The great
Great filter
Great filter takes us all
The great
Great filter
Great filter rise and fall
The great
Great filter
Great filter takes us all
The great
Great filter
Great filter rise and fall
Annihilation
Fanaticism
Resource exhaustion
Global pandemic
AI gone rogue
Gamma ray burst
The great
Great filter
Great filter takes us all
The great
Great filter
Great filter all shall fall

On the Brink of...

Sanctification
04:52
|
|||
Soulmate left his homeland
To take what he is owed
Heretics denied the tribute
Slayed him from behind
Then they dared to send a message
Courting for my hand and land
Asking me to be betrothed
Married to the traitors heir
Hoping for a docile victim
To consolidate the claim
Harvesting what they have plotted
All they reap will be my rage
My rage
Your demise
I will make history forget your name
Oh you will scream
I will never swallow my pride
You can not ever make me obey you
I will never swallow my pride
You can not ever make me obey
Join us
You can’t take me
Come now
I am strong
Join us
You can’t take me
We will
Won’t belong
Join us
You can’t take me
We will
Not for long
Join us
You can’t take me
Try us
Bring it on
Thought I was the weakest link
I’ll show you strength from deep within
More pain than you will ever know
History’s written anyhow
Invited them into my city
Offered shelter and my hand
Made them send their dignitaries
Led into the promised land
Greedy eyes won’t see deception
Nor the danger ‘til too late
False sense of security
In the end I let them burn
I will never swallow my pride
You will not ever make me obey you
I will never swallow my pride
You will not ever make me obey
Join us
You can’t take me
Come now
I am strong
Join us
You can’t take me
We will
Won’t belong
Join us
You can’t take me
We will
Not for long
Join us
You can’t take me
Try us
Bring it on
Oppression avoided
Vengeance extorted
They had come into my realm to take what they desired
Welcomed them with open arms they got what they deserved
Vengeance
All their sinful cities will be
Wiped out
They won’t have a single chance for
Penance
Lies and crimes will soon become their
Downfall
And I’m still waiting, thirsting for my
Vengeance
All their sinful cities will be
Wiped out
They won’t have a single chance for
Penance
Lies and crimes will soon become their
Downfall
I’ll burn your cities to the ground
Your remains will not be found
Take away your dignity
Heritage and liberty
I will sow your fields with salt
No more progenies unfold
Leave this land in disarray
Fear and terror and dismay
I embrace Cruelty
My revenge Equity
I rewrite History
Legacy Disappears
Finally they knelt before me
Begged for pardon to withstand
Hoped to find my mercy for them
If they showed that they repent
I will never show them mercy
I will never show them grace
I will only show them hatred
Vanished from the face of earth
Save us
Unforsaken
Help us
No I won’t
Spare us
Will not save you
Mercy
Time is gone
Save us
Unaquitted
Help us
Time is gone
Mercy
Unacknowledged
Come now
I am strong
Vengeance

Ingest Suffering
06:47
|
|||
We are way past our survival if we don’t change drastically
Overexploitation caused a world drenched in misery
There might be a chance to halt this if it were priority
But humankind is busy pointing fingers needlessly
Global warming, dying species
Burning forests, corporate greed
These are all the man-made impacts
No one really wants to see
What you want
What you get
You deserve
Disrespect
You ingest suffering
It’s the only thing satiating your greed
You ingest suffering
It’s the only way of feeling complete
You ingest suffering
It’s the only bit of fake luxury
You ingest suffering
Such an easy way to get what you need
You ingest suffering
Such a reckless way, make sure you compete
You ingest suffering
You don’t care about, what system you feed
The end is near
Just care about ourselves
We are all here, falling
The end is near
Everyone for themselves
We are all here, fallen
How have we allowed a system driven by fanatic seed
It is resting on the shoulders of the meek, the poor, the weak
The fortunate enjoy the comfort consuming with endless greed
While the rest are being drained, standing by in disbelief
Starving children, poisoned water
Rampant plagues, corporate greed
These are all the man-made impacts
No one really wants to see
What you want
What you get
You deserve
Disrespect
You ingest suffering
It’s the only thing satiating your greed
You ingest suffering
It’s the only way of feeling complete
You ingest suffering
It’s the only bit of fake luxury
You ingest suffering
Such an easy way to get what you need
You ingest suffering
Such a reckless way make sure you compete
You ingest suffering
You don’t care about, what system you feed
What you wanted
Was a peaceful existence in vanity
What you got
Is your home on the brink of calamity
We can't make drastic change, so we don't harm the economy
These are the words that the preacher has uttered into the abyss
The end is near
We are all here
Smothered by fear
The end is near
The end is near
A plague upon this world
We are all here, falling
The end is near
Curse this rapacity
We are all here, fallen
You were not the ones to blame
It’s your whole generation
They will all behave the same
Cause they don’t see the problem
You are not the one to blame
It’s your whole generation
They will all behave the same
Cause they don’t see the problem
The end is near
Last chance to save this world
We are all here, falling
The end is near
Fend of catastrophe
Or we will all be, falling
You ingest suffering!

Destroyer of Worlds
03:57
|
|||
Take my power it’s the cure
All my hatred make it yours
In this void you can endure
Never ever felt so pure
All I wanted
There is a path in life that humans cannot travel
An obscure passage through the void and through the nether
But I can’t walk it
I’m still here bleeding
Come
Promise yourself
To the unknown
Take this intricacy back as your own
Unbody yourself
Embrace the unknown
This is the way that your power will grow
Suffer
I have suffered
Take all my suffering
This is what I always wanted
There is a path in life that few will dare to travel
An obscure passage through the void and through the nether
Now I can walk it
No longer bleeding
Surrender
Unto me
Embrace it
Set it free
I can feel this condemnation takes ahold of me
My feeble mind is swallowed by boundless voracity
We knew the world would not be the same
Few people laughed
Few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince that
He should do his duty
And to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form
And says:
Now I am become death
The destroyer of worlds
Now I am become death
What have I unleashed upon this realm
This world will never be the same
Now I have walked it
Wish I was feeling
How was I longing
Futile my ending

...Calamity
05:49
|
|||
It is the dawning of all time
Yet we were never on the rise
As there would always seem to be
A piece of nothingness in me
And it was never on my side
The never ending pride
That always seemed to be
This piece of nothingness
But I never had the guts to avow what I want from life
Endless fright
It is the dawning of all times
And I was always on the rise
And there would never seem to be
A piece of nothingness in me
And it was always on my side
The unforsaken pride
That never seemed to be
This piece of nothingness
Take this life
It’s not mine
Promise me
Eternity
But
What I want
Not what I get
What I deserve
What I respect
For embracing the secret of time
Get for destroying the pieces of mind
It is the dawning of all time
Yet I was never on the rise
As there would always seem to be
A piece of nothingness in me
And it was never on my side
The never ending pride
That always seemed to be
This piece of nothingness
Take this life
It’s not mine
Promise me
Liberty
But
What I want
Not what I get
What I deserve
What I regret
For facing the vanity of life
Get for imploring importance inside
Oh you silly humans
Look at yourself
Take a deep hard look at yourself
At your life
At your own existence
Start thinking
What Is it you want to achieve
What is it you want to become
What is it you strife for?
You're gonna live
You're gonna die
And nothing of it will ever have mattered
Time for celebration
Because we came from nothing
And we will return
To Nothing
Nothing is what you are
Nothing is what you will become
Because we are
All
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
