SCRAM!

Dismantle everything you know
Peel back the layers of unused flesh
The Big Disaster's on its way
Only the modified will survive
SCRAM!
EVACUATE!
SCRAM!
DISENGAGE!
SCRAM!
THE SKY IS FALLING!
SCRAM!
THE WORLD IS FAILING!
What use is Earth now anyway?
Biological existence so passé
Information space is where it’s at
Inject our minds into the new habitat
This is the new
Order of existence

Darkness above me
Darkness inside me
What am I if not darkness incarnate?
The consuming fear
The ultimate hate
I am become death
The destroyer of worlds
I was born to eradicate
Annihilate and nullify all life
I am the gate
I am the key
I am the mechanism
Of complete oblivion
I was born to murder the world
I was born to lay waste all existence
Darkness below me
Darkness outside me
What am I?
I am humanity

New Humanity
03:57
|
|
||
|
Our 21st century collective depression
Has evolved a new strategy
For coping with the decline of everything
The new humanity has arrived
The desolate Earth shakes with anticipation
All compassion has been removed
Replaced by logic transgression is relentless
Superior being doing nothing
Consuming everything
No guilt or conscience
Perfectly adapted to the urban environment
Dismiss your fear
Surrender to the future
A nuclear bright tomorrow
Awaits us all

Red Dawn

|

Red in the sky
The ground is scorched of life
The air stings the eyes and burns the skin
Click click of the rad counter
Echoes aloud
A constant delineation to respiration
There is no life in this ruined place
Only pain differentiates the endless days
Tick tick of the broken clock
Winding down
Slicing life away one second at a time
Red in the sky
Contrast the towers of ash
The only sign of civilisation
Bang bang go the distant guns
Of the unseen enemy
The grinding end is hammering closer
There can be no respite
War is life
There can be no surrender
Victory or die
Red dawn
Life is war

CosmoNaught

The never ending darkness
Devours everything in its path
Reach down inside
Pull out the horror from within
The lights go out one by one
Until the black surrounds me
I feel cold on my face
The darkness wants to drown me
Dead dreams fall to the ground
Like brittle withered insects
Coherent scuttles away
Into the crack inside my brain
It’s hot and clammy in the heart of the night
The darkness feels like plastic
I press my face into my hands
So I can’t see it coming
The darkness lived behind my eyes
I was here in side me
It was born out of my mouth
And now it wants to find me
I am the never ending darkness
I am all that makes us human

Superlifter

I am outside, the universe
Everything you have ever understood
Means nothing to me
Your whole physical reality
Is just a speck of dust
To my all seeing eye
SuperLifter
Take me away
SuperLifter
Leave the behind
I have become
The ultimate intelligence
Sublimation through technology
Evolution bypassed
I watch the material world
Flicker like a TV screen
The life of the human race
Fades into the static
No way back

Never Ending Darkness

I am the CosmoNaught
I voyage into oblivion
A dead universe of rusted mechanisms
I navigate through nebulae of rust
A corpse traveller sealed in a tomb suit
Mechaneyes devour all data
Decomposing threads of reality
Form banners to my funeral procession
In the end
Everything will dismantle
In the end
Everything will decay
In the end
Everything will dismantle
In the end
All life returns to nothing
I am the CosmoNaught
I beheld the edges of infinity
Funeralopolis towering monstrosity
Exit wound in the body of existence
This vessel forges onwards
Sinking further into the cold dark
One by one the stars extinguish
Now I’m alone in the fathomless void
I am the CosmoNaught
I fled to escape my humanity
Now I witness the shutdown of existence
All alone in the limitless end

Sun Beneath
03:28
|
|

|
Sun beneath me, in a bleeding sky
Feels like I haven't slept, in a million years
Outside the world is cold, dark and depraved
In here I'm safe, where no one knows my name
Sun beneath me, in a static sky
Apocalyptic paranoia, seeping through the blinds
The TV eye illuminates my disillusion
Heard scratching at the door, won't go outside today
Eyes are everywhere
Nowhere to hide
They are everywhere
Watching in the sky
Sun beneath me, lost among the smog
My eyes are red, like the rust that coats the walls
Information in the sky, data raining down
If they know where I am can't go outside again

Derelict [Scrap] Shunt
07:21
|
|
||
|
We breathe fumes and wither
We shed corroded skin
Everything falls apart in the end
Nothing is built to last
Why try to salvage
What won’t be fixed?
Derelict scrap shunt
Flesh is for the obsolete
Derelict scrap shunt
Embrace the age of information
Upgrade every aspect of life
As soon as you get bored
Don’t wait realities growing stale
This existence is so last season
Don’t look back
Cast off your waste
Grab the new tomorrow
Entropy is the new black
Apathy this season’s must have
