As an outcast I paced defeat
Seeking comfort in this painful retreat Made an oracle against my will Word spread of miraculous skills Premonitions call my name I once doubted them all when they came Now I embrace it and I'll never be the same Transfixed in the desert sands Take a look at my once empty hand See the rose that appears so real Just like the one you saw in your dreams Those who call me avatar Know not what they're looking for They just feed their flames with miracles Just so you know If you bathe within my light You diminish your own might The illusionist in everyone As an outcast I faced defeat Seeking comfort in this painful retreat Made an oracle against my will Word spread of miraculous skills Premonitions call my name I once doubted them all when they came Now I embrace it and I'll never be the same Those who call me avatar Know not what they're looking for They just feed their flames with miracles Just so you know If you bathe within my light You diminish your own might Illusionist in everyone What I say and what I do was once potential Sprung from the infinite place that dictates the seen Those who call me avatar Know not what they're looking for They just feed their flames with miracles Just so you know If you bathe within my light You diminish your own might Illusionist in everyone In everyone! 02. Slaves To The Subliminal Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Eyes transfixed at flashing visuals
Looking without seeing Subject for subliminal attacks Subconscious registrations Efficient manipulation methods The embedded distorters One step in the mass hypnosis On a monumental scale Vile embrace of the one who beholds Robbed of thoughts and of feelings Draining dry the very mind All we know is what they show Never seen - the chains that binds Lies enslave you! Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow Making sure the blind stays blind We are slaves to the subliminal No choice to accept or reject Heading straight for the source Perceived below normal awareness Suck in the embedded additions Eyes transfixed at flashing visually Looking without seeing Subject for subliminal attacks Subconscious registrations Vile embrace of the one who beholds Robbed of thoughts and of feelings Draining dry the very mind All we know is what they show Never seen - the chains that binds Lies enslave you Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow Making sure the blind stays blind Drugged docile by the embeds They enter below the threshold Intricate manipulation technique Promotes robotic behavior Consume according to fabricated needs Command the subconscious Follow all the shallow standards Programmed instinct response Draining dry the very mind All we know is what they show Never seen - the chains that binds Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow Making sure the blind stays blind Enslave you 03. Mind Machine Music by Per Nilsson & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
All free will is gone
Automatic knowledge Humans lead in leashes Silent, untrue All are subjects to Automated liars Broadcast feelings through Machines that makes you Wither away Death of the soul Indoctrinated in false grace Bio-machinery Mind and machinery Fear now fuels the system Bio-machinery Target is the world Structuring the madness Terminating ancient Concepts of truth Power structure comes Silent weapons fired Quiet wars in minds The damage is done Wither away Death of the soul Indoctrinated in false grace Bio-machinery Mind and machinery Fear now fuels the system Bio-machinery All hope that died must rise anew By facing the passage of time All that we've known was bound to drown Before we could wake Bio-machinery Mind and machinery Fear now fuels the system Bio-machinery 04. Pitch Black Progress Music by Jonas Kjellgren Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
This landscape mechanical
Well-oiled black machinery Bio-driven computers Programmed for slave labour For slave labour! Structure made in urban design Kills the evolution of the mind I marching on a dead end path With misplaced concentration It's a pitch-black progress It's a dead end process It's a pitch-black progress No more, no less Digital temples monitor the population Supplying the masses with what they see fit Programming digital dreams for the consumers A zombie nation devoid of improvisation Electro-hypnotic messages Downloaded directly to the brain Endless chanting subliminal Hammers down the-will to resist Progressing into a pitch black future Leaving behind an analogue past Promoting all op their new ways Whatever the cost may be It's a pitch-black progress It's a dead end process It's a pitch-black progress No more, no less Introducing a pitch-black approach Taste the horns of the future Swallow the sulphur of the new order To resist is to non-exist 05. Calculate The Apocalypse Music by Per Nilsson Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Awaiting a cosmic collision
The igniting of the visible world Unpredictable asteroid impact Monumental blastwave unleashed Imminent undoing of this world Unveils tragedy mixed with relief As we give in to the end Awaiting the atmospheric entry Calculate the crater formation The massive fireball expansion Lost to thermal radiation Imminent undoing of this world Unveils tragedy mixed with relief As we give in to the end Estimate time of impact Calculate the fatal fact Estimate the cataclysm Calculate the apocalypse Technology Facing defeat An industry tainted with deceit Activity Done secretly Chosen survivors find security Imminent undoing of this world Unveils tragedy mixed with relief As we give in to the end Estimate time of impact Calculate the fatal fact Estimate the cataclysm Calculate the apocalypse 06. Dreaming 24/7 Music by Per Nilsson Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I can hear the colours
Hear what they say I can taste the sounds Voice of the soul sings inside Dreaming All the time Deep in slumber The expression of the soul In the dreaming zone I shall find Illusive minds never wake I'm lost inside a dreaming lie Never awake (awake) I'm seeing through another's eyes as time goes on (As Time goes on) I've always known that when my daydream fades away I never leave the cold that is the dreaming tide I can taste while dreaming Wish I could stay Inside my head I just know I've been lead astray Dreaming All the time Deep in slumber The expression of the soul In the dreaming zone I shall find Illusive minds never wake I'm lost inside a dreaming lie Never awake (awake) I'm seeing through another's eyes as time goes on (As time goes on) I've always known that when my daydream fades away I never leave the cold that is the dreaming tide Now I move on To the subconscious states unknown Dream world now gone, I am shown Why I dream at night and on and on Waking through my intuition, this path I must know Dreaming All the time Deep in slumber The expression of the soul In the dreaming zone I shall find Illusive minds never wake I'm lost inside a dreaming me Never' awake (awake) I'm seeing through another's eyes as time goes on (As time goes on) I've always known that when my daydream fades away I never leave the cold that is the dreaming tide Dreaming tide! 07. Abstracted Music by Jonas Kjellgren Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Darkness falls, light descending
From the sky and towards the ground Electric presence Prolonged strobe flash Bays of light Now shatters the night Abstracted shape Abstracted one High voltage bolt was aimed at the head and chest One taken Lost to the skies Gone, taken away Five days absent The manhunt fails None can explain The course of events Abstracted shape Abstracted one High voltage bolt was aimed at the head and chest Abducted soul Abducted mind Bright bolts of energy slays reality Abstracted shape Abstracted one High voltage bolt was aimed at the head and chest Abducted soul Abducted mind Bright bolts of energy slays reality Departure Strange sights Chaos within me Departure Bright lights I can't believe my eyes Darkness falls, light descending From the sky and towards the ground 08. The Kaleidoscopic God Music by Jonas Kjellgren, Per Nilsson & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
The lifeless worlds come alive
Gathered here both low and high Show me sights I dreamt at night I shall return with the dreaming tide As above, so below Microcosm is macrocosm Anything I visualize Takes place for real The formless takes the shape I want I am the decoder of wavelengths Unobserved it is but nothing But the potential for everything As above, so below Microcosm is macrocosm Anything I visualize Takes place for real Stray into the silence Stray into my soul Stray beyond the shallow entombment Fate - forms a complex kaleidoscope Planets interact within my head Universes moved with the will Anything I imagine occurs Manifestation is a fact Stray into the silence Stray into my soul Stray beyond the shallow entombment Fate - forms a complex kaleidoscope The outside appears to move But never really does The mind is in movement Unknowing, unaware Earth appears in my head Does the rules of manifestation apply At such dense place In such soulless waste Travel forth light-years away Beyond the form of night and day Kaleidoscopic shapes at play Colours sparkle in every way As above, so below Microcosm is macrocosm Anything I visualize Takes place for real Stray into the silence Stray into my soul Stray beyond the shallow entombment Fate - forms a complex kaleidoscope The outside appears to move But never really does Earth appears in my head Does the rules of manifestation apply 09. Retaliator Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
Behold essence of unearthly
Holographic entity Shape shifting being within me Defying the eyes I emerge from within Cold-blooded design Rising terror Towards mankind Retaliator Retaliation's coming Retaliator Inter-dimensional Beyond five sense reality Reptilian frequency Temples and shrines that you see here Were built in my name I shall bring the end To all of your kind Faithful servants Prepare to be devoured Retaliator Retaliation's coming Retaliator Inter-dimensional Prime desecrator Fall to the new world order Death generator Servants and fiends alike Your prevailing reality defines me As any folklore being Prime desecrator Fall to the new world order Death generator Servants and fiends alike Your revelation or your damnation Either way I bring you death Prime desecrator Fall to the new world order Death generator Servants and fiends alike 10. Oscillation Point Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I've always known It is too late
The signs burn deep in my soul End of the waiting comes; I'm taking my life I've always known it is too late I gladly reap what I sow So now I bid you all farewell Blade in hand I do hesitate, Terror can be read in my face I keep forgetting that there is nothing to fear Caged inside I cannot seem to end the battles Breaking down, I worship the insane I've always known it is too late The signs burn deep in my soul End of the waiting comes I'm taking my life I loathe all the things I see What you feel doesn't matter to me All these words and still there is nothing to hear Caged inside I cannot seem to end the battles Breaking down, I worship the insane Churning, burning With frustration Churning I am Turning, drowned in sickness Twisting disease Swirling fever And frustration Vile infection Churning within Burning conflicts Enter death Caged inside I cannot seem to end the battles Breaking down, I worship the insane Caged inside This world knows its torture tactics Born to pain but never again, no 11. The Path Of Least Resistance Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
The path of choice optimal
The labyrinth unsolved Haunting the complex of these halls Adrift upon the massive waves This godforsaken maze Suddenly returning to the haze Guiding star shine bright tonight And light up my path Time has come to know myself Least resistant path Burning signals I'm finding Least resistant path Things to be said and done I burn with the flames Float with the uncontrolled waters My soul flies with the breeze Perplexed in vast complexity Ghost in the machinery Seeking the exit constantly Facing a hopeless endeavour Being one's own saviour Lost without a guiding star Guiding star shine bright tonight And light up my path Time has come to know myself Least resistant path Burning signals I'm finding Least resistant path Things to be said and done I burn with the flames Float with the uncontrolled waters My soul flies with the breeze With every corner turned my heart sinks A mirage lights my hope again That silhouette could be anything But I'm beyond the realm of reason Least resistant path Burning signals I'm finding Least resistant path Things to be said and done I burn with the flames Float with the uncontrolled waters My soul flies with the breeze Guiding star shine bright tonight And light up my path Time has come to know myself The path of least resistance 12. Carved In Stone Music by Jonas Kjellgren & Christian Älvestam Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
You're never alone
Still you're on your own You cannot see the light Although you face the sun The things you see Are filtered through belief so strong Passed on through DNA and society I could never believe that the veil I saw just came from my mind The illusion is gone A swarming pattern of frequencies Is what this would be? Without the decoders called the eyes Bent into shape as thoughts define what you see Losing its true form to human misery Wait; resist the ones who feed upon your sorrow Those who whisper lies to bring the veil in sight Fate is not the guilt and failures of tomorrow Fixed and carved in stone, There s nothing of the kind You cannot really see me in this earthly dome So avoid judging me, stay silent Keep in mind that all is veiled Only fragments of your mind Now change has begun Came from my mind The illusion is gone A swarming pattern of frequencies Is what this would be? Without the decoders called the eyes Bent into shape as thoughts define what you see Losing its true form to human misery Wait; resist the ones who feed upon your sorrow Those who whisper lies to bring the veil in sight Fate is not the guilt and failures of tomorrow Fixed and carved in stone, There s nothing of the kind 13. Deviate From The Form Music by Per Nilsson Lyrics by Henrik Ohlsson
I transcend my earthly form
Through some questions never asked before Question the need to be a machine That responds automatically Some words will trigger certain acts Just one of the commandments we have learnt Some acts will trigger certain states I think it's time to alter the game I'm changing You're changing We're changing from within Deviate from the form of nothing Deviate from the norm to something Deviate from the form of nothing I deviate, farewell to the tribe I receive clues that lead me To answers never seen before And find the final piece In the puzzle of reality Some words will trigger certain acts Belief in limitations we have learnt Some acts will trigger certain states I'm taking back what I gave away I'm changing You're changing We're changing from within Deviate from the form of nothing Deviate from the norm to something Deviate from the form of nothing I deviate, farewell to the tribe Soul volcano Now erupting Lava swallows What used to be Soul tsunami Overflowing Overriding Reality Soul volcano Now erupting Lava swallows What used to be Soul tsunami Overflowing Overriding Reality Deviate from the form of nothing Deviate from the norm to something Deviate from the form of nothing I deviate, farewell to the tribe |
