Tracks



01. Autotheist Movement I: Create

Music by Michael Keene
Lyrics by Geoffrey Ficco, Michael Keene
I consummate this realm through the vision I possess
I rise above consecrated imposition
The pious flame
A flame extinguished from the mind
I will create a new reality

No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)
Rest your weary mind
No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)
I have realized I am God

I will descend to the depths of man
Proclaim to the void
Emptying my cup
The starved, weary, thirsting
From God's barren grave within the garden of untruths
A flower takes bloom and births a new reality

No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)
Rest your weary mind
No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)
I have realized I am God

02. Autotheist Movement II: Emancipate

Music by Michael Keene
Lyrics by Geoffrey Ficco, Michael Keene
An atrophied frame by an impotent rapture sustained
A God you will truly never see

"Thou shalt" unfurling in the wind
Rising above with an "I will"

The shrouded impulse of your self preservation
A flash of the fearful wickedness inside

Phantoms dreamt to life by the desperately lost
Despisers of life bound in other worldly hopes
Voices from above
Mere delusions of shame and guilt

Say goodnight to the voices in your head
You never heard them anyway
You might just be insane

I ascended carrying ashes
Upon my descent I carry my fire through the valleys
It's radiance outshines the wicked light
The sleepers are awakening with the falling of the sun
Casting the darkness into light

"Into a God's mask your dreadful coiling snake has crawled"
Now usurp the throne and possess creation

"Thou shalt" unfurling in the wind
Rising above with an "I will"

A purified mind
In the death of lies becomes alive
Extinguishing the fires of hell

I ascended carrying ashes
Upon my descent I carry my fire through the valleys
It's radiance outshines the wicked light
The sleepers are awakening

03. Autotheist Movement III: Deconsecrate

Music by Michael Keene
Lyrics by Geoffrey Ficco, Michael Keene
All rise for the black mass
We are gathered here today in the funeral of your faith
Angels set ablaze
Bask in the flames

God is dead!
Rid your mind of guilt my child
God is dead!
Let your sacrament wilt my child

In a godless universe with logic as the reigning scepter of power
Revel in the mysteries of our reality
Wisdom undefiled

In the shadows where secrets lie
Unrestricted wisdom grows in all directions
Evolutions grow forth from the grave of your faith

Bow your head in awe for our creation
Bring closer his withered throne to Earth
Lowering paradise within reach
Burn heaven down!

Nailed to the cross
Drained of it's blood
Piety dies
Crucify this lie

Deus est mortuus!
Logica obtinet!

God is dead!

Bring closer his withered throne to Earth
Lowering paradise within reach

Evolved in fruition to deny the God of carnal opposition
There will be no judgement from above
Inherit the Earth
Possess what is left

Behold a vision blinded by guilt ridden righteousness
Mortal entombment of the mind
False beliefs abandoned in the shadows of the light

Burn heaven down!

Nailed to the cross
Drained of it's blood
Piety dies
Crucify this lie

Deus est mortuus!
Logica obtinet!

04. Accelerated Evolution

Music by Michael Keene, Steve Jones
Lyrics by Geoffrey Ficco, Michael Keene
An origin wreathed in darkness
Generated from the primordial storm
Thought is awakened in animalian form

Phenomenon breathes to pull forth infinity
A vibrational frequency
The labyrinth inside the elusive mind's eye
Measuring the intervals
Decoding the circuitry disguised
Cognizance expands and perpetuates

Don't be afraid to collapse into yourself
Vibrations pulsate
A molecular fate

Biology becoming indeterminably intertwined
With its own accelerated evolution

We forge
We're growing

Biology becoming indeterminably intertwined
With a universe propelled in a turbulent design
A framework overflowing with life

In another step of evolution
Humanity moving beyond mortality
Endless sensation revealed in a spectrum of light
Phenomenon breathes to pull forth infinity

Restructured elemental design
A birth and a merging of minds
A perceptual gaze dismantling the limitations of time
Cognizance expands and perpetuates

My skeleton rearranges itself beneath the surface of my skin

Don't be afraid to collapse into yourself
Vibrations pulsate
A molecular fate

Biology becoming indeterminably intertwined
With its own accelerated evolution

We forge
We're growing

Biology becoming indeterminably intertwined
With a universe propelled in a turbulent design
A framework overflowing with life

05. The Eidolon Reality

Music & lyrics by Michael Keene
Within a projected reality of objective physicality
Lies a false sense of universal disconnection
We are an indivisible whole separated by perspective
And at a greater depth,
Lies the holographic structure painted upon the cosmos
Gaze beyond the matrix

Beyond the eidolon reality, blinding me, a connection unfolds

Past, present and future interpenetration
Subatomic communication
Sacred geometrics of superior precognition

Within a projected reality of objective physicality
Lies a false sense of universal disconnection
We are an indivisible whole separated by perspective
And at a greater depth, lies the holographic structure
The mental landscapes withheld in the confines of the matrix
A quantum disconnection from the realm of actuality

Beyond the eidolon reality, blinding me, a connection unfolds

Within a projected reality of objective physicality
Black hole portals of zero-point energy manifesting infinity

06. Ten Billion Years

Music by Wes Hauch, Michael Keene
Lyrics by Geoffrey Ficco, Michael Keene
I am the alpha
I am the omega
As I will it, so it shall be
Rise to your feet
Stake your claim here and now

A servent to no wraith
To no master
I will serve only my will
And I shall create
Wielding chaos
Harnessing the power to rule my dominion

I commit the obligation unto me
The random chance of consciousness
A path forged in ten billion years
Bestoweth the fruits of triumph unto me
The random chance of consciousness
A path forged in ten billion years

Giving way to acceleration
Sculpt of monument of the now

A servent to no wraith
To no master
I will serve only my will

At my table there's no place for your rituals of grace
I will drink to myself for I know there's nothing else
Words of faith reflect your fear
Thinly veiled but far too clear
And if my truth shatters yours than be baptized in its flame

Sculpt a monument of the now

I am the alpha
I am the omega
As I will it, so it shall be
Rise to your feet
Stake your claim here and now

I commit the obligation unto me
The random chance of consciousness
A path forged in ten billion years
Bestoweth the fruits of triumph unto me
The random chance of consciousness
A path forged in ten billion years

Giving way to acceleration
And in turn breeds new creation

07. Hail Science

The day is drawing near when all of mankind will bow to a new god
A god known as Knowledge that will abolish the archaic belief systems
Designed for those who fear their own mortality.

Science is on the verge of debunking
the preposterous concepts of mythological superstitions
And enlightening the world to a new age of self-empowerment.

An age of unfathomable possibility.
An age of prosperity.
An age of universal advancement and understanding.
An age in which the faceless will have to say "we told you so".

08. Hymn Of Sanity

Music by Michael Keene
Lyrics by Michael Keene, Geoffrey Ficco
Bring forth oh glorious knowledge and crown it king of all
The Earth is round, surely this I know
For irrefutable evidence tells me so
Bring forth oh glorious knowledge and crown it king of all

Slowly we approach it
Science is risen!

It rules in Earth and sky
Now we live no more to die
Science is risen!

The framework of veracity
This I seek for clarity
Reveal the path to certainty
Praise to science eternally!

"Brothers and sisters!
Free your bodies
From the contempt of a soul.
Let it die with archaic ideals.
The only heaven and hell
Are the ones you make for yourself right here and now.
Accept science into your life!"

It rules in Earth and sky
Now we live no more to die
Science is risen!

09. In Solitude

Music by Michael Keene
Lyrics by Michael Keene, Geoffrey Ficco
Walk with me to my mountain's top
From its vantage point
Is mourning on the faces of those who sleep
Sleep with no dreams

Follow me and I will show you where to follow yourself

In solitude above
Watching down below
Upon my shoulders collecting is the snow

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

The winter of distress
Beneath the weight of knowledge
The frostbitten paths to salvation
Are strewn with unmarked graves

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

And so I wander as the thief in the night
These lonesome footsteps steal only your burden
And where it's wait lie, I leave the arms of truth
A proclamation falling onto deaf ears

In solitude above
Watching down below
Upon my shoulders collecting is the snow

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

The winter of distress
Beneath the weight of knowledge
The frostbitten paths to salvation
Are strewn with unmarked graves

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

And so I wander as the thief in the night
These lonesome footsteps steal only your burden
And where it's wait lie, I leave the arms of truth
A proclamation falling onto deaf ears
