Dystopia
05:00
|
|||
I travel on the hollow road
Where no man dares
All I have is hunger
No place to lay my head
I cannot hold back
Nor can I stop
Every step that I take
The road gives way like quicksand
Dystopia
I urge my tired body
To move on endlessly
I hope to reach the end
And find a sanctuary
But if not, I will die
And return, to the earth
If the hollow road continues
I might stop dead
And let dystopia
Consume me, entirely
Dystopia

To Regain The Ocean
05:30
|
|||
Into the depths of an unknown world
Masked by the waters of old
Once the foundation of our planet
Now a dumping ground, a ruin
Exterminate, rejuvenate, exterminate, procreate
Built to destroy
Exterminate, rejuvenate, exterminate, procreate
Built to kill
Lay upon the melting ice
Feel the cries of crystalline
Your naked body was once a temple
But now diseased with hate and greed
Exterminate, rejuvenate, exterminate, procreate
Built to destroy
Exterminate, rejuvenate, exterminate, procreate
Built to kill
Have you forgotten your place of birth?
Have you forgotten your crumbling throne?
Have you turned away from your calling?
Have you turned away from life?
Regain the ocean
Now!
Regain the ocean
Regain your birthright
Sit upon the throne of ancients
Cleanse the waters, remove the poison
Now!

Somnolence
04:00
|
|||
I am just an empty vessel
Forever floating in a stream of silence
Never knowing when my time will come
Never knowing when my days are done
As night turns to day
The darkness remains
Somnolence, my friend
Somnolence, my friend
Passing through the sleepless veil
Resting upon the plains of darkness
Never seeing the reason
Never knowing the outcome
As night turns to day
The darkness remains
Somnolence, my friend
Somnolence, my friend
Upon the waters of my tears
I rest my weary, beaten head
Stars encircle tired feet
Raise me up to the realm of sleep
As night turns to day
The darkness remains
Somnolence, my friend
Somnolence, my friend

Senseless Hollow
05:04
|
|||
What does your mind fixate on, oh empty one?
You are perverse, a voice forgotten
By the universe
No words you utter, no regrets to swallow
You are but a senseless hollow
You’re a senseless hollow
Have you come to strike with fear?
In vain, we are all vaccinated
You fein reality, but your autonomy lacks conviction
Why are you here?
No words you utter, no regrets to swallow
You are but a senseless hollow
You’re a senseless hollow
No words do you utter
All the regrets that you swallow
Do not become
A senseless hollow

The Horse and The Sword
07:12
|
|||
Lost in this chasm
No need to return to the world
I have found my destiny
In the malachite
Return to me my sword
Return to me my noble steed
Power fills my dying corpse
Soul pierced by green light
Flesh returns to battered bones
In the malachite
Return to me my sword
Return to me my noble steed
The glow of my sword is too intense
My enemies cannot see me
They are blinded by my eyes of green
Arise from the grave
Vanquish the dreary shade
Extinguish the fires of death

The Seeker
05:33
|
|||
Death is written in the sand
The mighty speak of a demon lord
His face is burnt with hateful fire
Nothing less than evil spawn
The seeker is out for blood
Infected with the hate of man
The seeker is me
The seeker is me
His lips are kissed with blasphemy
His eyes absorbs your filth
There’s no escape from his frightful stare
You have been sentenced to die
Die!
The seeker is out for blood
Infected with the hate of man
The seeker is me
The seeker is me
You can’t stray from me
I will drag you down
You can’t stray from me
I will drag you down
Down to hell
The seeker is out for blood
Infected with the hate of man
The seeker is me
The seeker is me
Beware the seeker!

Solar Storm
05:28
|
|||
A flash of light from a distant land
Spreading fire across the night sky
Radiation of body and mind
Emitted from the holy sun
The atmosphere turns to ash
As the seas begin to boil
Life removed from forsaken lands
Creatures bow before the coming end
Why should I burn?
Why should I die?
The solar storm burns away
The impurities of man
The solar storm brings forth
A renewal of the soul
Solar storm
Why should I burn for the unjust to stay warm?
Why should I die for the unjust to prosper?
Tell me why, should I burn?
Tell me why, should I die?
Tell me why!

We turn our gaze
To the setting sun
So it begun
As earth embraced night
We journey through silence
Towards eternal night
We turn our gaze
Towards the rising moon
This is the end
As earth gives birth to night
We journey through silence
Towards eternal night
Death is never fair
But do not despair
Beyond pain and violence
We make the journey
Ravenous in fondness
Of our memory
We have vanquished pain and fear
Boldly
We turn our gaze
To the setting sun
So it begun
As earth embraced night
We journey through silence
Towards eternal night

Dead Man Risen Port Elizabeth, South Africa
The swollen cadaver of 'that which was to be' washed up on the shore of Gqeberha in 2017. A sentience woke within. As noxious gasses escaped, so the soundtrack of immortality rasped through festered wounds. Tormented back to life, a soul reluctantly reborn is doomed to forever seek expression... DEAD MAN RISEN. ... more
