DARKNESS OWNS YOUR SOUL
(Music: Novak / Hellenbach / Heller)
(Lyrics: Aymar)
A pestilence of ignorance inflicts the status quo
A somnolence of cognizance to keep you in control
And you see the world through lifeless eyes
Darkness owns your soul
Avarice and opulence as sacred as profane
Hunger is the breeding ground for war or do my eyes deceive me?
Beware, behold, the seas are boiling
Beware, behold, the winds are cold
Fallacy and fiction keeps you blinded from the truth
Burdened by a perfect lie, the curse of servants
Beware, behold, the sky's on fire
Beware, behold, your fate foretold in untold horror
And you see the world through lifeless eyes
Darkness owns your soul
And you see the world so agonized
Heart as black as coal
Darkness owns your soul
Beware, behold, the seas are boiling
Beware, behold, the winds are cold
Beware, behold the sky's on fire
Beware, behold, your fate foretold in untold horror
And you see the world through lifeless eyes
Darkness owns your soul
And you see the world so agonized
Darkness owns your soul
A pestilence of ignorance inflicting all you know
A somnolence of cognizance to keep you in the
Darkness owns your soul

(Music: Hellenbach / Heller)
(Lyrics: Hellenbach)
DNA hijackers plunder genome maps
Altering genetic sequence, causing chromosome collapse
Scientific playground, the double helix raped
Our future children could be artificially shaped
Technological control over human evolution
The stage has been set for post-human revolution
Genetic engineering approaching bio-threshold
Pandora's box revealed, the transhuman era about to unfold
Genetics drowning the ancient language of creation
Setting the framework, our new economic foundation
The bio-tech age, genetically modified lifeforms
Introducing next genesis, our world's new norms
No cure created for the catalyst is green
Monetary system-whores feeding the corporate machine
Children bred in test tubes, dreams tailored out of clay
Genes sold through a catalogue, the most perfectly assembled DNA
Entering the domain of new genetic reign
A programming tool to alter the brain
Our neverending need to control the way we exist
Forced evolution, accept or delete?
A post-human race, will we ever be able to compete
Entering the domain of new genetic reign
A programming tool to alter the brain
Our neverending need to control the way we exist
If we fail to accept natural evolution
I will be the first in line for humanity's execution

DECEIVED
(Music: Hellenbach / Heller)
(Lyrics: Heller)
Cursed To Crawl in servant's song, force fed your beliefs again
March solely alone I won't give in
Fight to reach a promised land, slips right in between my hands
Destroys everything I am, right to get back up and fight to get back up again
Dreams too grand, they are all I have, follow them until the end
I'm left on my own now, I still won't give in
Hourglass counts down again, sense of urgency at hand
Left with only grains of sand, can you grant me one last stand?
Something answers my cries, fortune opens my eyes
To the gates I arrive, your beliefs are a lie
Is this really all there is? Can there be something else?
I fought hard for all my dreams but all my dreams did not mean anything
Deceived
Promised land, just a promised lie, only hell disguised again
Found it's not the answer, guess I have to give in
Fought in search of promised land, have it here within my hands
Sadly not what I had planned, can't turn back the clock again
Something answered my cries, fortune changed my whole life
To these gates I've arrived
Your beliefs are a lie
Your beliefs, all a lie
Your beliefs are a lie

EVOLUTION DIGITIZED
(Music: Hellenbach / Novak / Heller)
(Lyrics: Hellenbach / Levalois)
“Once housed in indestructible lattices of silicon, humans will become the archetype of a new generation. An upgraded version of themselves created by their own hands. A digitized mirror image of egocentric lunacy. The will to power, the obsession to obtain singularity. The birth of the post-human!”
“The merging has begun”
From the hands of our ancient fathers to the wombs of our future mothers
We drown it all in dissonant waters
We’re becoming objects of conscious design, blueprints for a new religion
Products of our own production lines, slaves by design
Reborn - never one to disappear, take my mind to the stratosphere
Tearing through time
Are we obsolete? A race to be revised
Or parts of a larger device? An evolution digitized
Upload synaptic information onto mainframe computation
An artificial network - neural replication
We’ve become the driver of thoughts realigned, software upgrade - new version
Technological rebirth into the divine, gods by design
Take hold of the ones to make our future clear, bring our minds to the stratosphere
Rising through time
Are we obsolete? A race to be revised
Or parts of a larger device? An evolution digitized
Reborn, never one to disappear, take my mind to the stratosphere
Tearing through time
Are we obsolete? A race to be revised
Or parts of a larger device? An evolution digitized
“The merging slowly continues as all ethics are gradually removed from the test objects mind”
