1.	Recitations 04:53	lyrics	buy track
The world evanesces behind transient incidents sheathed in prismatic distortion Darkness, almost material, shatters deceitful angelic spheres Worn stones faded Immortality abandoned for writhing bodies Agonized fabrications Twisted faces Breathing fables enraptured by untouched infinities Antiquities among an ageless flock of wandering stars Images echoed in dreams Antiquities among autonomous instruments Wandering stars Archetypal constructs Ancient rivers Iridescent tears flowing from ocular pores In their image I create as I speak these words Voices expelled into empty halls In their image I create as I speak these words Idle hours of a false dawn
2.	Queen 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Within her bleeding walls she lays to rest mountains of breathing flesh Consuming discarded dreams nothing can nullify her appetite Within her domain relics are hidden behind semi-open doors The great deceiver A queen of open sores From fecal lips she exerts her control Pulses shake the foundation Beads of sweat wash away the traces On her throne, buried in sand, she demands tithing of herb and leaf She kneels at her altar of self-belief Her body is an institution for wayward sons Her mouth disempowers all who hear her words The queen is dead Drag her through the streets Bury her in middle earth Take her to the sea Drown the lies in endless waves Cover her stench with smoky sage
3.	Yellow 02:15	lyrics	buy track
With every step I take I become displaced I linger, I wonder why The ringing of the bells they draw me closer to a place away from my-self I’m clouded by aureolin confinement I still taste its disease My lips, my incessant prose What holds me here I – I The Aeon within - beyond mortality From within an essence – beyond my-self Searching for a ghost – of a life unlived, I remain unmoved
4.	Broken Glass Shattering 04:32	lyrics	buy track
I am shame swathed in tomes of fractured ethics Bleeding discourses from my gums -my mouth- singed by vocalizations of disrepute Veins pulsating, phantasmagoria circulates through archaic neural structures The dual flow is only one way As I deplete myself of terms The cool depths of symbolic limits erupt, one system replaces another Through Primal magick I bridge gaps between walls Uniting ghosts with the material -nonexistent spirits- from unknowable æther My Flesh, a mirror reflecting waves of air never signified The dual flow is only one way As I deplete myself of terms The cool depths of symbolic limits erupt, one system replaces another I am Entombed in a simulated self From above I observe the repetitious descent To myself I expel a fickle sacrifice, the negative foundation of massacred empires Into a sea of sand I dive, falling into lost moments and manufactured memories In seconds I crack Shards disintegrate, ending a worthless life, like broken glass shattering
5.	And I See 09:26	lyrics	buy track
A flash of white light, a jolt pulsating through me, subjugating my soul, pulling me into nothing Immobilized, descending into abstraction—a vacuous and infinite void falling into itself without motion I am the void, I am descending into eternal stasis Inert, alone, immobilized, descending into abstraction—a vacuous and infinite void falling into myself without motion Stripped of my mortal shell Loss of self and enmity No perception or emotion All senses failing I the self the separation Of myself from carnality I the self the separation And dismemberment of My soul—a symbol of faith Fear of insignificance, the absence of consciousness, the cessation of thoughts, the severance of awareness Imaginings through mental activity gone The defragmentation of myself from all realities, all combining into a single sentient entity On this eternal descent I am erased from all memories All moments altered to their purest state Every particle is replaced I no longer exist in finite space I feel the release of clarity as I fluctuate in and out of time Each consciousness binding to another Until I am one, until they are gone Destroy, rewrite, rebuild Until all is known Underneath the coil that ties the beginning to the end An eclipse is formed so bright the infernal blaze blinds unseeing eyes I pervert the process of reformation severing all connection to carnality, without body or mind, endlessly sifting through realities to find nothing I am nothing I will be nothing And I see
