Welcome
this transmission from a fallen star Light has departed from this black sun But please put us on to bring darkness down from your head and home Our enterprise a success as return is no option our eyes were removed for our own safety The distance too great for you to hear our cries nevermind take this lamp we are beyond light We learned so little of inhuman culture before disappearance went right through us The mothership boarded by fools we escape space in order to reach our destination And if you are listening please tell us about the time where and when we exist no more For when you go we go with you via wormholes 02. Nightmare Heaven Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
The subjects of sleep
Their faces once awake on sodomy and death and smoke and laughter their feet no longer underground The snow hides the traces never set in a first place This negative kingdom hey horrible and white the angels all stone passing their years hoping to be saved from oblivion ...by oblivion And the miracle is that nothing has happened nothing has a history or a name Only the voice of falling snow 03. Ad Absurdum Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
This dead orchestra
play on instruments strung with the fibres of my mind And skeletons dance they have no voice and no complaint But I am still flesh and will not serve you vampire fools bringing you life by invoking dead I'm tired of telling stories with this ghostvoice of mine so you can say you don't believe in ghosts You drink me animal wasted on my madness leaving me blank and empty But tonight I'm Houdini Gonna kill my shadow penetrate your sanctum See your loss through your eyes and laugh as two you not knowing why and wanting to die 04. Collapse Generation Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
Time is on trial
Generation and collapse inside the space of things Series of inertia A trial and a time 05. Star-Crossed Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
We-
organic images dissolving earth Our future children sure at us unfixed from a residence of stars in their sidereal ships ho sailing beyond within Their eyes black in kingdoms of gold like the rocks of this desert where we wander in circles tails up the ass of time And our vision goes backwards the traces we see after something ot even existing beyond the prints All dreams end here where our cries began resounding to museums of a world we believed neverending And we stop exhausted beginning not again And the panic like the light of some star exploding Flashing in black holes of not knowing if we ever made a away out of this mud 06. Radical Cut Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
Spit white speech
the voice is mine the skin of the slit cut cigarette size The butt size head voluptuous white cum cigarette slit the spitting line The cigarette skin white head in line the voice is white erasing mine Skin the white the radical line the cigarette butt head radical skin 07. For To End Yet Again Music & lyrics by ARCTURUS
Full of frequency
an unintelligible roar of everything ever lived or altogether avoided life A storm of voices and backward thoughts through deserts of sand through gutters of shite Drums and flames our bodies in ruins and I say my name without my voice Speed increases fucking all up in a whirling wind tearing all order apart in order to rebuild order Police, police, police please stop the Euro from binar bin Laden Io paramount Pan Io Paradox Pan Don't fight it, you'll only whirl up all mass hysteria in your thousandfold self We lost eachother we slide unnoticeably in hallucinatory orbit around the sun the black sun oh black sun |
