Ashes and Snow
06:16
|

|
Bow before the power of the nucleus
Matching the might of Vesuvius
Bombardment of neutrons, fission induced
Potential energy profuse
Over the sea, across borders they barge
Atmospheric nuclear discharge
Racing to match the opposing threat
Engulfing the world in terror and dread
The future of Earth is unsound
And the fate of man is on crumbling ground
We wander alone, we’re struggling to survive
Cancerous deformities will end our lives
Exposed to toxic dust and contaminated water
The aftermath of a global slaughter
The chronology of the cosmos will run its course
Despite our pride and our everlasting wars
Our cities will collapse and they’ll be grinded into dust
Betraying the insignificance of our existence
We roam the fields of ashes and snow
Ceaseless fields where nothing will grow
Radioactive decay emitting ionising rays
Penetrating our organs and numbering our days

Pillars of Light
05:45
|

|
Contact from another realm
Masters of unknown dimensions
Beings of inconceivable shape
Appearing in pillars of light
Masses flock at the illuminated site
Staring into the illusive bright
Source-less, emitted through darkened clouds
Hypnotising the submissive crowds
Bound to the sky
The all-seeing eye
Came forth as clouds in the dust at night
In the pillars of light
Gazing into their collective mind
Discovering which traits them define
This species is not yet ready to know
Their evolutionary stage is too low
Examining man’s self-destructive nature
Conflict, pain and delusions of grandeur
An invasive and cancerous breed
Spreading with alarming speed
Leaving them in ignorance
Of the secrets of the cosmos
In fear of what they could become
An intergalactic tormentor
Bound to the sky
The all-seeing eye
Came forth as clouds in the dust at night
In the pillars of light
Contact from another realm
Masters of unknown dimensions
Beings of inconceivable shape
Appearing in pillars of light

Creation
06:35
|
|||
|
Anti-matter’s fall, the beginning of all
Dividing up the forces of nature
Primordial blast shrouded in mystery
Accelerating, drifting galaxies
A shockwave came from a distant death
And condensed the clouds of creation
Helios drew his first breath
Awakened to scorch the dance of destruction
Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
When we are destined to die and fade away
Why do we care?
In the vastness of the unknown
Are we alone?
What lies beyond our reach?
One day we might know
Inhospitable giants of metal and stone
Bathed in poisonous rays
Collisions of awesome velocity
Explosions of possibility
Asteroids forged by gravity’s might
Only a few would emerge from the fight
Now eight titans linger in the aftermath
Alone they are shackled to their eternal paths
And life emerged
Through chemistry
The elements were granted by the stars
Common ancestor
A single cell
Evolved and took over the world
Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
When we are destined to die and fade away
Why do we care?
In the vastness of the unknown
We feel so alone
An entire chapter could have been ripped from our view
Then we’ll never know

Cosmic Strings

|
Almighty godlike civilisation
Matrioshka brain‒generated simulation
Ancient guardians of infinite fates
Quantum computing at an unfathomable stage
Ominous megastructure of outer space
Encircling a sun locked in a blackening embrace
A digital cosmos indistinguishable from reality
Enclosing conscious minds of virtual entities
Deep within the fabric of all
Mysterious pictures bewilder and enthral
Supersymmetric multidimensional polygons
Fold and see the bits of strings of zeroes and ones
The cosmic-string vibration
The fundamentals of all of creation
Altered by the calabi yau shape
Buried in the quarks of the atoms
The enigmatic string vibration
The fundamentals of all of creation
Altered by the calabi yau shape
Buried in the heart of the atom
Cosmic strings
Uniting the forces of the multiverse
Cosmic Strings
Eleven dimensions emerge
Cosmic Strings
Conjuring energy and matter of the physical realm
Cosmic Strings
Governing the symbols of might
Enslaved, incarcerated and confined
Liberate your desensitized binary mind
Master the ciphers of truth and materialize
And into unidentified dominions we’ll rise

Helios
05:21
|
|||
|
The cycle of the sun
Is at its maximum
Coronal holes, it’s out of control
Helios’s fragmenting his soul
Geomagnetic storms
Solis deforms
Photons in motion, plasma explosion
Coronal mass ejection
Through the void from the netherrealm
Spirits silently race
Migrating to our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space
Magnetosphere disrupts
The humans are fucked
Earth’s field is open, particles approaching
The electrical grid has broken
Civilisation’s gone
Our way of life was wrong
Relying on the system, forgetting old wisdom
Evolved unfit to survive
Unfit to survive
Confusion and panic materialize
Anarchy, violence and chaos arise
As years go by, tribalism will thrive
Only the strongest survive
Survive
SÓL
Through the void from the netherrealm
RA
Spirits silently race
SURYA
To our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space
From the sun
We shall come
You beware
Solar flare
SÓL
Through the void from the netherrealm
RA
Spirits silently race
SURYA
To our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space

Halls of Extinction
09:09
|
|||
|
A colossal temple of bygone times
Desolate, abandoned, encased in ice
Surrounded by barren plains of frost
Preserving the chronicles of life
Walk through the gate and one will see
Six endless corridors of graves
Epic exhibitions of extinction and decay
A monument to the tenacity of life
Venture down the Ordovician aisle
And witness a gallery of doom
Invertebrates from a forgotten age
When life had yet to diversify on land
An expansion of green sucked the gas from the air
The great Ordovician cooling
Glaciation forced the oceans to decline
Decimating life of the deep
A tragedy written in stone
Our window into the past
When we fall, we will face an empty hall
Standing majestic and tall
We have laid down the bricks since our birth
Throughout our time on this earth
Now when we are gone
The cycle of life will go on
No one will know we were here
There won’t fall a tear
The third big Phanerozoic event
The great Permian dying
The longest hallway of them all
An otherworldly cataclysm
Volcanic catastrophe
Methane belched into the heavens
Global warmth, acidic sea
Poisonous hydrogen sulphide
A giant plunging from the sky
Disastrous collision
Tectonic deformation
Forth bringing relentless winter
Violent Cretaceous demise
Mammoth reptiles buried
Enshrined in ancient rock
Under cascades of ashes and snow
Ashes and snow
When we fall, we will face an empty hall
Standing majestic and tall
We have laid down the bricks since our birth
Throughout our time on this earth
Now when we are gone
The cycle of life will go on
No one will know we were here
There won’t fall a tear
