1.
Bind 02:03
2.
A spectral silhouette Menacing at sight Wilful to wreak ruin Or erase the dark with light Proceeds the archway Thy paths entwined A debt to oneself To oneself bind Seeing past the elemental New lands await Trepidation of transcendental Intimidation of fate Isolation of transformation Relinquish precognition Of self and spirit plane Pace to initiate odyssey Isolation Step within the apparition Throughout composed of mirrors Tread passed and cross the threshold Released until adjoined again Under a new moon Grief to find a false dawn Gaping fixation through one's eyes Is the Gaurdian Transformation
3.
The path branches ahead Watch the roots and moon above Pay mind to rest your step Patience releif thereof Calling is the rest of death Refusal, light instead I'll keep with me always Within the dark one can stay beacon to true knowledge Lead home and pilgrimage Follow foot of folly fire Thee unknown now desire Calming is the rest of death acceptance, astral-project I'll always with me keep Within the dark one can sleep Calling forth Infinite existence monuments fade Star remains shall forever be
4.
Prelude i 01:03
5.
About, about in reel and rout Friars lanterns dance nigh; The forest mist, like a witch's oils Burn green, and blue and white Will-O-The-Wisp Burning brimstone of light Dance you're dreams of death and life Follow foot of folly fire The unknown, now desire Will-O-The-Wisp Follow into currents and weeds Drown in wet sand No strength to stand Give in, breathe in Pushed into darkness Ensnared by light Forever decay Follow the light To treasure and delight Or extinction and blight The path although the same leads to what's in mind
6.
Prelude ii 00:59
vos sact ne tu cris tus nu vos sact ne te cris tus nu vos sact ne te cris tus mu vos sact ne ne crist tus nu
7.
Pest 06:51
Complacent minds Celebrating wealth Phantom adorations consuming all of time Winds whisper Secrets of the æther Long to decipher Their scathing indifference Hope for not Piss in the wound Wish for better days It's to late Complacent minds Celebrating wealth Phantom adorations consuming all of time Flies on a corpse ina vacuum full of death Breeding in our filth Shitting where we eat Infections gone septic Blistering pains Choke on the, hot, sick air Applauding lies on borrowed time For false conveniences less silence Welcome to our world Where the sun never sets Cancer is our God Suffering is love Fields full of fire and unknown remains Acid oceans churning corpses and waste Time runs it’s course Over the edge and to other dimensions Along for the ride until the end Showcase of horror and greed Pavement consuming all of the trees We are Human Pest Human Pest
8.
Prelude iii 00:27
9.
We look to stratums While we're sinking under sky Help us see through dirt Passed the atoms As we're floating through the stars Passed the inert Feel it flow through your ocean Let it crash on your shore To recead from whence it came Fact, fiction, or lore Eye of noosphere Bestow us sight Scry into your eyelids Searching for the tome Passed galaxies and stars To find your consciousness's home Eye of noosphere Bestow us sight Take our offering Afford us might

Prelude iiii 00:39

Sigh 09:10
Kill a creature Destroy the present Tap the land Destroy prospective Each word spoken A novel forgotten For each thought A memory rotten Each vibration An endless wave Variable quantity The cosmos misgave What is a scar except memories of pain Rot Despair The drudge Celestial grudge Knowledge brings disillusion Forcing perspective Resulting in seclusion As not to be invective What is a scar accept memories of pain Rot Despair The drudge Celestial grudge A cosmic Heave, all you have seen Just, walk through that door Break, what holds you here there, exists other dimensions that we have not seen Time, never-ending barrier between worlds beyond Outside our doors our known existence is crumbling Great, monuments of waste is all we leave behind
