01. Chaosweaver

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I gain energy from your attack
Feed on the venom you spew
I find destiny in the certainty of death
Turning what you say against you

The beginning, found within the end
Triumph bringing a sense of loss

Chaosweaver
From the shadows you hide
In defiance
You are hollow inside

In your assault I find nourishment
Your verbal weapons inspire me
All that you throw at me gives comfort
In this continual dance of eternity

The beginning, found within the end
Triumph bringing a sense of loss

Chaosweaver
From the shadows you hide
In defiance
You are hollow inside
Chaosweaver
You're the poisonous wine
Words of venom
Casting pearls before swine

Solo - Per Nilsson

Weave the end of time
It's slipping away from you
Away from your soul
In your last abide, awaken inside
And realize

Chaosweaver
From the shadows you hide
In defiance
You are hollow inside
Chaosweaver
You're the poisonous wine
Words of venom
Casting pearls before swine
Chaosweaver
From the shadows you hide
In defiance
You are hollow inside

02. 2012 - The Demise Of The 5th Sun

Music by Per Nilsson
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Pinnacle of evolution
The end of linear time
Progress or termination
Cosmic ray mutation

It's the question that burns inside
Will we perish or rise with the tide
When the waters of consequence
Comes rushing forth

For the lines on the fractal wave
Fits the course of history
They're created to work as one 'til the end

A dimensional shift
Leap in consciousness
Or a dire destiny
Asteroid fatality

It's the question that burns inside
Will we perish or rise with the tide
When the waters of consequence
Comes rushing forth

For the lines on the fractal wave
Fits the course of history
They're created to work as one 'til the end
At a time when terrestrial
And galactic grids align
The demise in 2012 realized

Pinnacle of evolution, the end of linear time
Progress or termination
Cosmic ray mutation
A dimensional shift, leap in consciousness
Or a dire destiny, asteroid fatality

Solo - Per Nilsson
Solo - Jonas Kjellgren

For the lines on the fractal wave
Fits the course of history
They're created to work as one 'til the end
When the winter solstice comes
Actualizing the prophecy
The demise in 2012 realized

03. Dominion

Music by Per Nilsson
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
The scars form a pattern
Symmetric in design
For each and every conflict
A mark you will find
Wounds have opened bleeding
From the magic of your words
But now this phase is over
I'm done with all this hurt

I shall walk alone

I will hide, keep the pain inside
I shall not return
To the outside world again
I will leave, crawl into the depths
Facing this world no more

The scars upon my body
A testament of abuse
Withdrawn into my dominon
Another life I choose
Inside my realm of comfort
I feed upon the pain
I drink the liquid cancer
That keeps the mind insane

I shall walk alone

I will hide, keep the pain inside
I shall not return
To the outside world again
I will leave, crawl into the depths
Facing this world no more

That phase is through, it's over now
No one can reach my dominion
Inside my mind I make the rules
Abandon sanity and discover truth

Solo - Per Nilsson

I will hide, keep the pain inside
I shall not return
To the outside world again
I will leave, crawl into the depths
Facing this world no more

04. Underneath The Surface

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Judging by the outside
No one sees the inner plague
Managing to spread your infestation
Through what you do and say

Underneath your surface
Hides another face
Underneath that false smile
Contempt lies buried

Close your eyes
And enter another state of mind
An internal center awaits inside
Murder your desire by escaping time
In the dying embers, resurrect the fire

Every word you utter, calculated hate
From within you're withering
In your own contempt
Judging by the outside
No one sees the inner plague
Managing to spread your infestation
Through what you do and say

Close your eyes
And enter another state of mind
An internal center awaits inside
Murder your desire by escaping time
In the dying embers, resurrect the fire

Solo - Per Nilsson

Close your eyes
And enter another state of mind
An internal center awaits inside
Murder your desire by escaping time
In the dying embers, resurrect the fire

05. Reborn

Music by Per Nilsson
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
The path before you
Never coming to a halt
It stretches endlessly
From here into the unknown
Looking back
You barely see through the fog
What you were once, you are no more

Each moment unique
None exactly the same
Defied, denied to live
And exist like this again
Now you will see you are reborn
Arrive, arise to your new world
As this one dies
Forever death will embrace everything

At dusk arrives
The dark night of the soul
Waiting to crush
Every stone left unturned
As you enter
Go at least with this certainty
You will emerge at dawn transformed

Each moment unique
None exactly the same
Defied, denied to live
And exist like this again
Now you will see you are reborn
Arrive, arise to your new world
As this one dies
Forever death will embrace everything

All things end, none survives
Every form must fade away

Solo - Per Nilsson

All things end, changing shape
Waking to life again

Solo - Jonas Kjellgren
Solo - Per Nilsson

Each moment unique
None exactly the same
Defied, denied to live
And exist like this again
Now you will see you are reborn
Arrive, arise to your new world
As this one dies
Forever death will embrace everything

06. Veil Of Illusions

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I focus upon this
Considered real and true
Within time, fixed it seems in form and space

The dream is so real, as I participate
From experienced reality there is no escape
I interact in illusive reflections
Internal mind perceptions

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what is real

Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me
Nothing is what it seems to be
The eyes perform a complex trickery
Decoding numbers into imagery

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what is real

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false
I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world
Tear the veil to pieces
And slip through the shreds

Solo - Per Nilsson

Should I close my eyes and depart
End the beating of the heart
Would I not wake from a lifelong dream
Exposing the grandest of schemes

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what is real

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false
I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world
Tear the veil to pieces
And slip through the shreds

Embracing illusions
The veil of illusions
I touch only shadows, what I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false

07. Obscure Alliance

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I am the conscious soul
Supreme awareness
The serpent rising, following the spine

Nothing has really changed
No nothing's really new
Everything is still the same
But I see in different ways

Flesh and spirit
Obscure alliance pass unseen
Soul in zenith
Unharmed it stares into the sun

With death as guiding star
I am transcendence
Within the rising I see the fall

Nothing has really changed
No nothing's really new
Everything is still the same
But I see in different ways

Flesh and spirit
Obscure alliance pass unseen
Soul in zenith
Unharmed it stares into the sun

Solo - Per Nilsson

The empire within swirls and changes
Never stagnant, ever morphing
Alligned with the unseen

Flesh and spirit
Obscure alliance pass unseen
Soul in zenith
Unharmed it stares into the sun
Worlds in hiding
Obscure alliance of the planes
Still abiding
Unbound in every phase

08. Hybrid Cult

Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
The ritual begins, let the ritual begin
A maelstrom of energy
Turns the air electric
Starting a synergy
The patterns all symmetric

Masks are covering their faces
Hiding the alteration
Shapeshifting in phases
Behold illumination
The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what is real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened sky
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
Erupting from within
The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what is real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened sky
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Not entirely human
DNA strings anomalous
Blood of god and man
in synergy blasphemous

Solo - Per Nilsson
Solo - Jonas Kjellgren

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what is real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened sky
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

09. Orchestrate The Infinite

Music by Per Nilsson
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Affecting all of universe with my mind
Through my will
Solar systems live and die

Omnipotence in a world of limits
Omniscient, stars will fall
On my command

But those who live within this world
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry

Collision as a spark of me entered flesh
Still I keep the ability to form
Until the day I leave my cage
I design this world in my image

What I create I can destroy
Stars fall on my command
Tomorrow's in my hand
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinte design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite

With focus on the things
Certain to face death
My essence will elude you 'til you die

Omnipotence has no beginning
Omniscience has no end
It can't be grasped

But those who live within this world
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinte design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite (x2)

Orchestrate the infinite
No horns and no crown of thorns
Will fit on me

On a field where the judgement
And all the pain you feel
Can no longer reach you
In the silence existing
Between your every thoughts
This is where I'll meet you

But those who live within this world
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinte design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite (x2)

Orchestrate the infinite
No horns and no crown of thorns
Will fit on me

10. Detach From The Outcome

Music by Per Nilsson
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
The drug is in, invades within
The third eye is opening
Dimethyltryptamine and harmine
Natural secretions of the mind

Ingestion, convulsion
Enlightenment, bliss

Awake I dream this joyous scene
Immersed in the sacred plant
It speaks the word I haven't heard
Since before my birth

Everything comes alive
I hear the voice of the stars
You must detach from the outcome
I hear the voice of the earth

I reflect, just imitate
The one inside the mirror
A gentle touch, then a rush
When I step inside the glass

Colliding, dissolving
Remembering, bliss

Everything comes alive
I hear the voice of the stars
You must detach from the outcome
I hear a voice everywhere

Solo - Per Nilsson
Solo - Jonas Kjellgren
Solo - Per Nilsson

Colliding, dissolving
Enlightenment, bliss

I hear the voice of the sun
I hear the voice of the stars
I hear the voice of the earth
I hear a voice everywhere

11. Seeds Of Rebellion

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
War seeks revenge upon all peace
A turning of the tide again
Turmoil rising

Unleash the boiling chaos
Once veiled by mists of lies

Turmoil slowly kills the calm
Uncertain paths are entered now
Certainty shattered

Passive ways abandoned
Bring to life the seeds of rebellion
One more page is turned
Chapters of rage, all that remains

Opening the eye of destruction
Sowing now the seeds of war
The has come for deconstruction
Let the boiling chaos soar

Solo - Per Nilsson
Solo - Jonas Kjellgren

Passive ways abandoned
Bring to life the seeds of rebellion
One more page is turned
Chapters of rage, all that remains

Opening the eye of destruction
Sowing now the seeds of war
The has come for deconstruction
Let the boiling chaos soar

12. The Eleventh Sphere

Music by Jonas Kjellgren
Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Through portals of silvery bliss
Exit the flesh, leaving all of this
I travel within, my eyes remain closed
To this body I am but a host
Disconnecting from the body
Behold creation reversed
Internal eyes are opening
The material sphere bursts

Nothing is, nothing becomes
End and beginning unites
Nothing was, nothing will be
Time and space collides
In the eleventh sphere

Awaiting to find it all

I begin an abstract communication
In this eerie civilization
Those who guard these doors
Lie in wait for the aeon of whores
Rejected aspects of our beings
Shunned to this obscure dimension
I am all that I hate
I am everything in this place

Nothing is, nothing becomes
End and beginning unites
Nothing was, nothing will be
Time and space collides
Nothing is, nothing becomes
Nothing was, nothing will be
In the eleventh sphere

Inside this void
A continuum beyond time
Here's no truth, here's no lies
Its darkness brings light
To all those led astray
Now I go, now I leave
Returning to the flesh

Solo - Per Nilsson

Nothing is, nothing becomes
End and beginning unites
Nothing was, nothing will be
Time and space collides
Nothing is, nothing becomes
Nothing was, nothing will be
In the eleventh sphere

Awaiting to find it all
