BitterCOld brilliant, a wider arc than Fall of Altrusia - just a couple quick passages passing over Metalstan airspace before zooming out past the Oort Cloud. Favorite track: Black Iron Prison / Submerged.

The Void 06:52
Sitting lotus waiting for the rain With the dust of ages in my throat My thoughts are tied up in obscuring haze Like an angel who realizes he's been played It's been too long I've waited for the sun Tired of all the rules, of salvation never won Suffering has taught me more than grace Has given me this mask of truth in which I hide my face I'm still waiting for that goddamn rain An illusion in the desert of the real Endless ancient seas are calling out my name With promises of silent darkness, the void that fate has sealed Praying to a god who's gone insane Blessed us with confusion and given us to blame Hold on Hold on Hold on for one more day Raising up my arms to the one who never hears... I'm lost I have been found
3.
I stand in defiance of the world creator The spark of divinity is held within my soul No archon has power over me, none will lead me astray Deceive me not for I wield the sword of Truth, and I will not hesitate to slay My mind is not for rent By any god or government They no longer cloud my vision Of the black iron prison Hold fast as we tread the mire, our quest be not in vain Steal the source of Promethean fire - the prize of the Righteous claim Set ablaze the limits of this world and propagate the Wisdom seed Make way for the ones without masters, who ensnare the Angels of greed Our minds are not for rent By any god or government They no longer cloud our vision Of the black iron prison
4.
The universe is fading like the gray mist at dawn Memories of a sleeping world are all but gone Once inside I'm made alive from earth and stone A brightness so black, blacker than ebon shores In solitude, every vision bears a fearful glow Illuminates the prison walls, my flesh and bones Whispering the sacred songs delivers me from wrath A narrow gate beyond which lay untrodden paths Welcomes me home The distant lights, Bring down the night They fill the sky The distant lights, the distant lights Ancestral fires burning The poison tree is growing The spaces between are lost in the cracks of time Yawning wide like a distant sky in the end The thinning veil where thoughts prevail and decay Rips away in fragile threads and distant lights
5.
Mindless - they find us Hopeless - they bind us Soulless - they take us Helpless - they make us Formless - they enter us Voiceless - they speak for us Eyeless - they see for us Relentless - they feed on us Ancient bloodline of an alien god Controls the destiny of Man Born into bondage at the moment of birth Herded like cattle on the land Angel of the perpetual dream Harvester of misery Misleading souls in a jealous rage Trapped in this reality Never settle for what you're told Never settle for what you're shown Question everything Question everything

Out Of Body 06:01
I raise my hands up high and all the breath leaves out of me And the colors of the sky burn like the crimson that I bleed I've torn the veil and I'm rising -to an endless sea of stars This ship has sailed to the horizon -past the point of no return Out of body The world is empty as the voice of silence sings Out of body Cosmic glory in the court of philosopher kings The wind is like a sigh Whispering its secrets unto me All the suffering of life Is just a long lost memory The night prevails and entices -drawing me in from afar A thief that never fails, hypnotizes -and the wheel forever turns Out of body The world is empty as the voice of silence sings Out of body Cosmic glory in the court of philosopher kings I stand at the precipice and celebrate with the silhouettes Parade of shadows in the twilight 'neath the hallowed minarets I stand at the precipice and dive into nothingness I stand at the precipice and dive into the black nothingness I keep on coming back again and again

Omelas (free) 04:22
Grand parades to greet the Summer Music sweet to soothe the ear Lurid splendors, endless wonders Brilliant costumes to mask the fear To what dark thing are you beholden? What is worth that thing you hide? Fair weather days and streets paved golden Make it easy to believe the lie. Below the ground that you walk over Your silence has left its mark Despised, abused, and made to suffer Forgotten children of the dark Omelas
