01. Posthuman Manifesto

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
Give up your old skin, all the decaying tissue, this vessel of misery
Restructure your ego and filter the fluids of your body machinery
This obsolete frame starts to disintegrate now, conform to the current trend
Choose the latest fabric for improved content
You want it, you need it, don't wait

Let's disgorge the poison of retrogression and reconstruct your carnal remains

Embrace the figure we've designed
Become a flawless model and behold you feel quite amplified
Embrace the figure we've designed
Become a flawless model, a modern delight to free your mind

Slow death product for sale, we interrupt the decline with customized medicine
Apply for the grail of our technology: the suppression of suffering
Pick a prototype, all different yet equal in the basic potency
The embodiment of a trivial dream
You want it, you need it, don't wait

This is time to replace your past self and be cleansed of your common defects

Get more strength to enjoy your life with no fear of being left behind
To never catch a glimpse of content in their eyes or be brand as a castaway desecrate your very soul and become part of the display

Embrace the figure we've designed
Become a flawless model and behold you feel quite amplified
Embrace the figure we've designed
Become a flawless model, a modern delight to free your mind

02. No Wisdom Brings Solace

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
I've tried to fight pessimism
To look for an explanation to the prime weakness we seem to convey: A strong drive to destroy ourselves
All statements have turned out to conduct to a maze of suspect justifications
Encased between hermetic walls of incertitude

Axioms appear so contrived
And science, the paragon of devious crafts
I struggle to assimilate this fact: No wisdom brings solace

I start to realize the limitations of my attempt to truly understand the misery of men
The more I look inside, the more I'm prone to deride the basis of every creed: To know is to be saved

I'm lost, standing at the crossroads with no mean to decide on a better course
No choice appears convenient, no pathway predominates
Unsure to ever escape my posture of inflexible disbelief
I decide but to abandon this hunt for significance

Axioms appear so contrived
And science, the paragon of devious crafts
I struggle to assimilate this fact: No wisdom brings solace

I start to realize the limitations of my attempt to truly understand the misery of men
The more I look inside, the more I'm prone to deride the basis of every creed: To know is to be

Nothing is true, nothing is eternal, there's no reward for steadfast belief
In a flawed system of assumption but a breakdown of cognition gears
To deprave the core of all knowledge and confer it the arrays of faith
Is to increase the prospect of oversight and absurdity

I start to realize the limitations of my attempt to truly understand the misery of men
The more I look inside, the more I'm prone to deride the basis of every creed: + To know is to be saved

03. The Line Of Least Resistance

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
Prevaricator
There is no substance into your soul save pretense and disrespect
Obscene exposure
You trick your peers into sympathy using counterfeit emotions

You believe no one can see through your disguise
Yet you make me want to turn my back on your pathetic treachery

Always choosing the easiest path
You seek to prevail with no sacrifice
Ready to walk over everyone
You reek of conceit and sickening pride

Pretentious fraudster
You deem yourself worthy of reverence, ever craving to be praised

You believe no one can see through your disguise
Yet you make me want to turn my back on your pathetic treachery

Always choosing the easiest path
You seek to prevail with no sacrifice
Ready to walk over everyone
You reek of conceit and sickening pride

You strive to deny your foolishness through delusions of great achievement
Trying to decrease your misery with blazing lies and random masquerades
You believe no one can see through your disguise
Yet you make me want to turn my back on your pathetic treachery

Always choosing the easiest path
You seek to prevail with no sacrifice
Ready to walk over everyone
You reek of conceit and sickening pride

04. Red Nova Ignition

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
Accretion of stellar matter collapsing
Particles crushed at excessive speeds
The Protostar, pressured by gravitation forces
Awaits its ascent to radiance

Red nova ignition, phase one:
To set ablaze the cosmos in all directions
To combust electron discharge
And dissipate the greatest void

The solar newborn shall be crowned
To reign over new, pristine worlds, And inundate their immaculate crust
With heavy radiations
Spiraling, hydrostatic equilibrium
Photon winds diffusing light
Explosive, universal space/time commotion
Following a scheme divine

Red nova ignition, phase one:
To set ablaze the cosmos in all directions
to combust electron discharge
And dissipate the greatest void
Red nova ignition, phase one:
To set ablaze the cosmos in all directions
to combust electron discharge
And dissipate the greatest void

Repelling darkness, illuminating the canvas of all creation
Destroying eons of Death, the monad has come to life

Submerged in the fire burning the vault of heaven
The celestial scion shines upon the universe frame

Red nova ignition, phase one:
To set ablaze the cosmos in all directions
to combust electron discharge
And dissipate the greatest void
Red nova ignition, phase one:
To set ablaze the cosmos in all directions
to combust electron discharge
And dissipate the greatest void

05. God Is An Automaton

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
We we're blind and we couldn't conceive the color of blood
This crimson flood soaking the ground
We stare in shock as the world unveils its true features to us
You then exclaim "where is God now?"

You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"

The virtuous dies as well as the sinful one
Death strikes all life, blind in its random ways

In essence, we contradict the conception of a watchful shaper
And still we consider being observed and closely monitored

Primitive we remain
We were devised to enjoy trials
The choice has never been ours
We are inclined to violence

You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain(forever feed on pain)
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?(Programmed for boundless rage)
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained(The poison is never drained)
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"(Divine)

06. High Tech Vs. Low Life

Music by Sybreed
We're confined behind invisible barricades
A glyphic shroud of glorified lies

Kali Yuga
And we slowly turn into cowards
The excess of truth isolates us

Forsaken, dismayed
We were told to mask the void inside our disabled hearts in subtle ways
Substitute faceless
We're dissolved into a sea of gray, constrained to settle for decay

Evolving careless on treacherous heights
We weaver between detachment and fear

Kali Yuga
And we slowly turn into cowards
The excess of truth isolates us

Forsaken, dismayed
We were told to mask the void inside our disabled hearts in subtle ways
Substitute faceless
We're dissolved into a sea of gray, constrained to settle for decay

"Surrender to the cold obliteration of your ego"
Constantly forced to seclusion, we are bound with cruel precision

Kali Yuga
And we slowly turn into cowards
The excess of truth isolates us

Forsaken, dismayed
We were told to mask the void inside our disabled hearts in subtle ways
Substitute faceless
We're dissolved into a sea of gray, constrained to settle for decay

07. Downfall Inc.

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
To walk among the human herd
To see the mark of our degeneration
Stagnant and dazed, we but relent
To break the strain of our self-enforcing schemes
Now our future is tantamount to past
A dead-end race with a leaning for despise
Immobolism: our final goal
With corrupt bodies free to assume all control

To confuse truth and judgment
To observe the world with blinded eyes
To coronate intolerance
We only swallow changeless lies

We seem so eager to dissent
Yet through inaction we approve each restraint
We keep on begging "please govern us"
Freedom's abridged, utopia is distrust

To confuse truth and judgment
To observe the world with blinded eyes
To coronate intolerance
We only swallow changeless lies

We are condemned to fail and to ruin our very lives
To endure through denial
We could let the world burn and watch each other die
Consternation made us unconcerned
With enforced discipline we but forfeit our very pride
We require low sustenance: to be kept entertained, to feel secure and feed
Deprivation is our single fear

To confuse truth and judgment
To observe the world with blinded eyes
To coronate intolerance
We only swallow changeless lies

How can we feel betrayed when we yield in front of any sign of change?
We keep on running away
We are far too scared to ever become self-contained

08. Challenger

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
Face down, this the way you taught me to abide
Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch
I realized I was a whore begging for security
And such a coward, I'd never have asked to be set free

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies and become everything I despise
If I can't find a meaning to this fearful life, I'll become the enemy of mankind

What did you conjecture to arise from the ashes of my broken self?
An obedient drone just easy to bind?
I'm but the demon you've devised

Tremble, you bastards, I represent all that you dread
It's so futile to think you can still control me
I've nothing to lose for you have tainted everything I prized
Whatever you try, revenge is mine

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies and become everything I despise
If I can't find a meaning to this fearful life, I'll become the enemy of mankind

I shall wipe this burden out
Victorious I will stand above the mundane shame you've forcefully trained me in
I'll concede nothing and never forget all your deeds and cruelty
Retribution is on the way, turning the war you've started into pure defeat

Please tell me why should I disregard all the lies and become everything I despise
If I can't find a meaning to this fearful life, I'll become the enemy of mankind

09. A Radiant Daybreak

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
There was no light, I couldn't find my very way
A dire frustration was all I could feel in my chest
For there was no joy in every moment I could spend
How could I reckon I trapped myself into a cage of misery?

My so-called strength had to be shattered
My beliefs were but a lie
It is so convenient to tint it all in deep tones of black
To live in fear is but meaningless I shall face the source of my hopelessness
I just crave for suffering

Chorus: I can see for the first time And feel freed from the pain
Redeemed and disengaged
Oblivion is just a reward, A final slumber to end the divide
And awaken purified

Why should I try to sustain such a barren state
When my whole condition is tantamount to emptiness?
I wish I could hide from this grim picture in my head
Yet I am locked up lost in a maze of endless excruciation

I reach the height of isolation
There's no need to revise or suspend the decision
For I discern but one conclusion
This gruesome existence has become an affliction I can't withstand

My beliefs were but a lie
It is so convenient to tint it all in deep tones of black
To live in fear is but meaningless I shall face the source of my hopelessness
I just crave for suffering

Chorus: I can see for the first time
And feel freed from the pain
Redeemed and disengaged
Oblivion is just a reward, A final slumber to end the divide
And awaken purified

10. Into The Blackest Light

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
All hail your deceit
You, lord of all shattered hopes whispering words of fear

Termination is salvation
None of us is safe within your hands
Redemption with a bullet
You're the prophet of limitless debasement

Here comes the accuser obscuring the sky, intoxicating the soul
The serpent conspiring to engulf the world into the blackest light

Ouroborean seduction of foreknown doom
You are death sovereign

Termination is salvation
None of us is safe within your hands
Redemption with a bullet
You're the prophet of limitless debasement

Here comes the accuser obscuring the sky, intoxicating the soul
The serpent conspiring to engulf the world into the blackest light

We fall for your lies
We embrace nothingness
And decline as we can't stand the weight of our guilt

Children of Despair, perdition is in our flesh
As we run towards fate

Termination is salvation
None of us is safe within your hands
Redemption with a bullet
You're the prophet of limitless debasement

Here comes the accuser obscuring the sky, intoxicating the soul
the serpent conspiring to engulf the world into the blackest light

11. Destruction And Bliss

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
I desecrate, predisposed to always re-engage
I deprecate, charing my words with bitterness and comdemn

I'll never let your insignificance, your substandard ego
Subverting my resolve and dedication
I'll never take on your indecision and have no backbone
I forever choose destruction and bliss

I'm disinclined to ever salute a defeat
To surrender or adopt a desolated stance, I'll prevail

I'll never let your insignificance, your substandard ego
Subverting my resolve and dedication
I'll never take on your indecision and have no backbone
I forever choose destruction and bliss

Why should I submit to your taste for mediocrity when I crave for the most exquisite form of transcendence?
Why should I give up on my needs of brutality when I yearn for an existence freed from all restricting bounds?

I refuse to spend my precious time here trying to abide

I'll never let your insignificance, your substandard ego
Subverting my resolve and dedication
I'll never take on your indecision and have no backbone
I forever choose destruction and bliss
