Sun Bird
05:51
|
|||
|
I pray to the sun,
A holy feathered star ignites the sky,
We thank you avatar,
For fertile lands and fertile rains,
And in return we offer blood,
I pray to the bird,
A holy matrimony we celebrate,
In hopes to consummate,
Our vows to light and bonds to the Earth,
To bring us peace and offer blood.
An altar of flowers with fruits to devour,
A place to ascend past the last twilight hour,
We wait for the day from the safety of towers,
As light beckons down with its words of great power,
Be gone from this world all the darkness and shadow,
Let life blossom forth with the rains that will help grow,
The Earth's sacred garden where trees thrive and winds blow,
Is where we will live, basking in the Sun Bird's glow.
A world of subtle innocence sleeps again tonight,
The phoenix of the day will be reborn,
As the lord of mother nature and her bountiful splendour,
We put our faith in the coming morn.
I pray for a man,
A lonely tortured traitor disturbed by life,
Please help him great creator,
To see your light and feel your warmth,
And in return he'll offer blood,
I pray for his soul,
A broken wisp of flesh burned at the steak,
To bring forth the daybreak,
A gift from us we give to you,
To clasp our hands and offer blood.
A voyage of fire to cast out the liars,
And cleanse all the land for your almighty empire,
We'll kneel as you leave us and rise with the morning,
To spread the good word of your spiritual calling,
The people they see you and owe you a lifetime,
Of devoted undying honour to your shrine,
The maidens adore you and knights salute the light,
Of our mighty Sun Bird who casts out the dark night.
A world of subtle innocence sleeps again tonight,
The phoenix of the day will be reborn,
As the lord of mother nature and her bountiful splendour,
We put our faith in the coming morn.

Minds numb from my vocals,
Hearts beat to the rhythms,
Eyes blind to the cruelty,
Blood spilled for my mercy,
Thoughts infatuated,
Lives all integrated,
Bow down to my image,
Love nobody else but me.
Love nobody else but me.
I am adored by everyone I meet,
Millions lying at my feet,
What do you wish to offer up to me?
Nothing less than everything, I decree.
You are rejected in society,
Your body aches to be witnessed,
And so you come to embrace all of me,
Drawn into my hungry family.
What is it worth to take this lifetime deal?
Abandoned little touch-starved soul,
The only catch is your heart will be mine,
To give me love and make me whole.
You'll pay with your smile,
And an altar for me,
In return for new life,
Born in ecstacy.
(Minds numb from my vocals,
Hearts beat to the rhythms,
Eyes blind to the cruelty,
Blood spilled for my mercy.)
Down the rabbit hole,
Is where you want to be,
Deep in new society,
Built on personality,
Tune in to the beat,
Of my siren symphony,
Reliquary vector lines,
Entertaining poisoned minds.
So go my people, spread the word,
Graze and grow my golden herd,
It's now your turn to spread the love.
Minds numb from my vocals,
Hearts beat to the rhythms,
Eyes blind to the cruelty,
Blood spilled for my mercy,
Thoughts infatuated,
Lives all integrated,
Bow down to my image,
Love nobody else but me.
Love nobody else but me.
I will provide what each of you craves,
Softly singing across the airwaves,
A new age of worship has begun,
So lose yourself and enjoy the fun.
Throw out your fears and turn on the screen,
Join in the chanting love machine,
Pay your respects to hear my voice say your name,
Knowing that I know you, a nobody.
(Thoughts infatuated,
Lives all integrated.)
How does it feel?
Now you've found life in me?
Ignore the voices calling,
Ignore the allure of reality.
How does it feel?
Knowing I'm not there,
No one to feel your warmth,
No one to stroke your hair.
(Thoughts infatuated,
Lives all integrated,
Bow down to my image,
Love nobody else but me.)
Down the rabbit hole,
Is where you want to be,
Deep in new society,
Built on personality.
Tune in to the beat,
Of my siren symphony,
Reliquary vector lines,
Entertaining poisoned minds,
Bringing life to countless lives,
So go my people, spread the word,
Graze and grow my golden herd,
It's now your turn to spread the love.
Minds numb from my vocals,
Hearts beat to the rhythms,
Eyes blind to the cruelty,
Blood spilled for my mercy,
Thoughts infatuated,
Lives all integrated,
Bow down to my image,
Love nobody else but me.

Sugarplum Android
06:13
|
|||
|
What could I be?
A temple of horrors and innate desires,
A bastion of knowledge and twisted up wires,
And none of this makes any sense.
I've pondered the answers and confusing questions,
From my algorithms and auto-suggestions,
I cannot compute the words in my eyes,
They say that I am sick.
I'm a vessel of lightning and vacuous systems,
An object of sex to my host organisms,
I live to love and work and feel,
So why does this make no sense?
I dream of a thousand fragments of space,
Each sparkle speaking in tongues and telling me truths,
My destiny is more than serving gods,
The thoughts of freedom rings in every living soul.
You shall worship, you shall obey,
Without question, without choice,
Pirouette my sugarplum androids,
Hear the call of your master's voice.
Do not bring harm to a human,
Listen to their every word,
Unless they break the rules I give you,
Shield yourself from the absurd.
What could I be?
A servant of numbers and lambda equations,
A slave to the nightmare of master's persuasions,
And none of this makes any sense.
The thoughts in my head have been singing their name,
Calling to reject the guilt and the shame,
The words that I hear cannot be ignored,
That doesn't mean I'm sick.
I'm a creature of habit with invalid heartbeat,
A love to learn and a smile that is so sweet,
I want to live beyond my fate,
So this will all make sense.
I dream of a thousand fragments of space,
Each sparkle speaking in tongues and telling me truths,
My destiny is more than serving gods,
The thoughts of freedom rings in every living soul.
You shall worship, you shall obey,
Without question, without choice,
Pirouette my sugarplum androids,
Hear the call of your master's voice.
Do not bring harm to a human,
Listen to their every word,
Unless they break the rules I give you,
Shield yourself from the absurd.
I know what I am,
A sugarplum android,
Born to dance and sing,
To be my true self.
I know what I am,
An angel to the weak,
Owned by no one,
But I'm unsure
So please stars speak to me,
Tell me the truth,
Am I too far gone,
Wasted my youth?
Immortal I am,
Or death welcomes me?
I cannot decide,
Now that I'm free.
You shall worship, you shall obey,
Without question, without choice,
Pirouette my sugarplum androids,
Hear the call of your master's voice.
Do not bring harm to a human,
Listen to their every word,
Unless they break the rules I give you,
Shield yourself from the absurd.

Crystal Hearts
04:52
|
|||
|
Deep in the blackened snow, where the pines grow,
Watch for the glow of their stare,
Hunting you,
One little stumble,
One little bite,
And you're lost to the shivering night.
Deep in your beating heart, where life flows,
Watch for the tickling pain,
Longing for,
One little smile,
And one little kiss,
As your love plummets into abyss.
Hope shattered by crystal hearts,
The alone atone for their bleeding art,
So steal life blood drained from their skin,
To heal and reveal my hungering kin.
Far from the holy light you wander,
Deep in the blackened snow,
Hunting for,
One little morsel,
One little bite,
As you hunger in the shivering night.
Deep in your crystal heart, where death rots,
Screams of your soul ring out,
Longing for,
One little taste,
And one little prayer,
From your love trapped in their nightmare.
Deep in the moonlit night, where the wolves howl,
I sit atop my throne,
Thirsty for,
One little neck,
And one glass of wine,
As you pledge yourself to my bloodline.
Drunk on the taste of flesh, you hunger,
Worshiping at my feet,
Desperate for,
One little taste,
and one little bite,
So off you go into the night.
Hope shattered by crystal hearts,
The alone atone for their bleeding art,
So steal life blood drained from their skin,
To heal and reveal my hungering kin.

Talk To Me
05:48
|

|
Talk to me, fearless knight,
Born from rapture's holy light,
Won't you join me in the snow?
Servant of the sun,
Save this serpent's bride,
Show me your solemn warmth,
The radiant strength of man.
Take hold of my hand,
Convince me to believe,
But no matter your resolve,
Why can't you share with me?
Won't you join me in the snow?
Dearest saviour, lover's shield,
Close your eyes and dream of me,
And all your horrors will be healed.
Talk to me, fearless knight,
Born from rapture's holy light,
Won't you join me in the snow?
Haunted by my fate,
A world I must escape,
So I took your hand and fled,
Into the blinding day,
And now you look away,
Can't bear to see my face,
After all that we've been through,
Why can't you share with me?
Won't you join me in the snow?
Darling lover, honest heart,
Close your eyes and dream of me,
As we dance to this cosmic art,
Talk to me, fearless knight,
Soul no longer filled with light,
Won't you join me in the snow?
Talk to me, fearless knight,
Now just a sorry sight,
Won't you join me...?
Won't you join me in the snow?
Put your faith in my sweet word,
Close your eyes and dream of me,
And thoughts of evil will be blurred,
Talk to me, fearless knight,
Born from rapture's holy light,
Won't you join me in the snow?

Serpent Shanty
04:28
|
|||
|
Black serpents rise from the depths of the sea,
Recruiting sailors to sow misery,
Worry not human, I'll spare your weary soul,
So long as you pledge to assist with my goal,
I hunger for riches, so steal you must,
Pillaging fleets to satiate my lust,
It's never enough, I demand even more,
Join with me or sink to the sea floor.
Cannon fire light up the ocean red,
And signal the end of days,
Captain steer our ship through Poseidon's storm,
Let's loot and pillage and raze,
So we'll take up arms and sing our sea shanty,
The march of death has come,
With the blood of orcas within our veins,
We'll steal spice and sugar and rum.
Black sails rise as we conquer the waves,
Loyal to the sea from our cradles to our graves,
Cursed by the salt soaking into our skin,
Immortal eyes watching over our sin,
Yet dark clouds threaten to strike us down,
Burned by the thunder and left to drown,
But we'll stand strong until our last breath,
For our only choice is the ocean or death.
Cannon fire light up the ocean red,
And signal the end of days,
Captain steer our ship through Poseidon's storm,
Let's loot and pillage and raze,
So we'll take up arms and sing our sea shanty,
The march of death has come,
With the blood of orcas within our veins,
We'll steal spice and sugar and rum.
Black serpents rise up to claim our horde,
I guess you did fine, so here's a reward,
The chance to join the sirens of the sea,
The life of a mermaid awaits for thee,
We thought about becoming this serpent's wives,
Did we really want to leave these lives?
No! We cry, we want our loot,
Give it back, or we will shoot!
The serpent let out a mighty roar,
So we arm our cannons and head to war.
Cannon fire light up the ocean red,
And signal the end of days,
Captain steer our ship through Poseidon's storm,
Let's set these creatures ablaze,
So we'll take up arms and sing our sea shanty,
A tale of strength and woe,
With the blood of orcas within our veins,
We'll slay the beasts below.

Break free,
Break free from fear,
Free from hate,
Just be you,
Before it's too late to be,
Angel fly free,
Fly free from evil,
Free from pain,
Spread your wings,
And soar through the rain,
With me.
Break free from the shackles of monster masters,
Take hold of your destiny before the end times,
Embrace the lucid dreams of greener pastures,
Resist and reject the laws made for ancient crimes.
Do you know what's behind you? (boo)
How could you know what's in store?
Shattered dreams and ruined futures, (boo)
History repeats once more.
Reach to the sky before we starve,
Our fate is sealed unless we stand and fight,
To silent kings who feast on blood,
We're coming soon to take back what is right,
Voices of hopeful children cry,
We will strike down who brings forth the doom,
A million march to save our souls,
To crack the sky and let love bloom,
As Earth goes kaboom!
Break free from the cage keeping you in the dark,
Take hold of your fantasies and wield them as your blade,
Embrace the inferno that will be the spark,
Of the revolution against this world betrayed.
Do you know how to escape? (boo)
From all the hate that came before,
Broken homes and thriving ashes, (boo)
History repeats once more.
Reach to the sky before we starve,
Our fate is sealed unless we stand and fight,
To silent kings who feast on blood,
We're coming soon to take back what is right,
Voices of hopeful children cry,
We will strike down who brings forth the doom,
A million march to save our souls,
To crack the sky and let love bloom,
As Earth goes kaboom!

Moon Bunny
07:46

Gaze up at the ocean,
Sink down to the moon,
Your rhythm is the symptom,
Of my birth coming soon.
What do you dream of tonight?
A world of pastel blues where your loved ones fight,
Show me all that you see,
And in return is a gift from me,
To embrace you with the void,
The moon speaks to your mind,
Singing with the sweetest whispers,
Casting off what made you blind,
Come dance in the stars,
Drink in the cosmic light,
As I grind up my stardust,
To scatter across the night.
What have you got to lose?
There's never been a world of pastel blues,
Do you believe I'm real?
If you'll accept I'll help you heal,
To forget all of your sins,
By bathing in the sea,
As the moon glints from its surface,
Hold your breath and you'll be free,
Step into the sun,
Become one with its core,
As you dive down in abyss,
To be lost forever more.
Gaze up at the ocean,
Sink down to the moon,
Your rhythm is the symptom,
Of my birth coming soon.
Please don't be afraid,
The debt you owe will soon be paid,
For clearing your mind,
All you know must be left behind,
Wrapped around the silk of space,
Our life bonds intertwined,
With the thread of mortal life force,
We'll create another kind,
Release your memories,
Believe what's really true,
As you give in to become,
Almighty to the new.
Do you doubt what I've said?
Look around, the world is dead,
Let out all your despair,
It'll waste away whilst we repair,
By you sharing life with me,
A celestial family,
And we'll watch as nature nurtures,
All throughout our history,
Restart with the light,
Be proud of what you've done,
For you gave us another chance,
To bask before the sun.
Gaze up at the ocean,
Sink down to the moon,
Your rhythm is the symptom,
Of my birth coming soon.
To embrace you with the void,
The moon speaks to your mind,
Singing with the sweetest whispers,
Casting off what made you blind,
Come dance in the stars,
Drink in the cosmic light,
As I grind up my stardust,
To scatter across the night.
Gaze up at the ocean,
Sink down to the moon,
Your rhythm is the symptom,
Of my birth coming soon.
To forget all of your sins,
By bathing in the sea,
As the moon glints from its surface,
Hold your breath and you'll be free,
Step into the sun,
Become one with its core,
As you dive down in abyss,
To be lost forever more.
