Seek the null beyond the half-ley line

Seek the null beyond the half-ley line

Scream
02:53
|
|||
Scream at the face in the mirror
Scream at the greed that made you a whore
Scream as you fall back in line with the pack
Wasted all your chances
Now they're gone!
Trampled in the treadmill
Where zombies run
Chasing dreams
But not your own
Scream at the face in the mirror
Scream at the beast with no self-control
Scream as the last ray of hope fades to black
Scream at the face in the mirror
Scream at the void that devoured your soul
Scream all you want but you won't get it back!
Wasted all your chances
Now they're gone!
Trampled in the treadmill
Where zombies run
Chasing dreams
But not your own

Sleepwalkers
02:16
|
|||
Just another broken dreg of night
Surfing on a wave of coca flowers
Haunting shadows, dressed in neon light
Running from the nothing that devours
Running in circles
With barely the strength to stand
He falls through the cracks of this land
Nobody helps him
Nobody can hear his cry
Sleepwalkers sleepwalk by...
Growling like a wounded feral cat
Street magician, lost without his powers
Doves and hares evicted from his hat
Time to face the nothing that devours
The invisible monster
The shadow the eye can't find
Out of the depths of his mind
Used up his nine lives
Sucked dry and left to die
As sleepwalkers sleepwalk by...

Children of Cain
00:53
|
|||
Blinded by every voice
Deafened by light
Making the easy choice
Eager to fight
We are the children of Cain
Lost in the darkness
Like bats without sound
Hiding ugly answers
We hope we had not found
But hope is a curse
The devil whispered in our ear
And hope is the hearse
That we rode down here

The Laughter of the Dead
02:08
|
|||
The hungry roar of static
The laughter of the dead
The siege of noise that conquers
Every thought inside your head
Imagination crumbles
And leaves a pile of rust
And every dream you had
Is just a castle made of dust
A succubus of lust
The noise inside your head
The laughter of the dead
Listen to the voice
That no one else can hear
Listen to the voice
That whispers in your ear
Whispers secret words
That scream inside your head
Let your scream be heard
The laughter of the dead

Invisible World
04:44
|
|||
Angry needles feed
The emptiness inside
Mount the Hypo-steed
Take it for a ride
Run far away from the pain
Run, but you know it's in vain
How can you run from a choice
Posed by a voice
That screams in your brain?
A voice that can never be heard
A voice from the invisible world
Saw it in the mirror
Lurking in the silver
Calling in the dead of the night
Paranoid delusions
Parallax illusions
Maybe just a trick of the light
Maybe my head is not well?
Could be I landed in Hell?
But maybe the ghost on the wall
Beckons and calls
To open my cell
Open the cage of my soul
And roam through the invisible world
Free at last!
I spread my wings in anger
Free to fly from the past
Lost in the invisible world
Help me to pilot my soul
Lost in the invisible world
Maybe my head is not well?
Could be I landed in Hell?
But maybe the ghost on the wall
Beckons and calls
To open my cell
Lost control
Tailspin behind the cold glass
Lost the grip on my soul
Lost in the invisible world

Serial Grounds
01:46
|
|||
A deep Orwellian fog nestles around me
Obscuring my leather-clad being
Into a spirit-like silhouette
The un-judging Fool Moon
Illuminates the cool, moist air
Into an eerie glow
The emerald boards of the park bench
Glisten with condensation
As the visions of the scars of initials
And vulgarities yield to my imposing torso
Would-be heroes trot by
In a hurry to get nowhere
Scampering along well-herded paths
Stagnant couples and naive lovers float past
Pretending not to notice my cold eyes
Piercing through the fickle shadow
A hermit, petrified in his cardboard cave
Prays to appease his wine god
In barren hope of not being noticed
I pry a sinister, crooked grin
And exhale a wicked cloud-like breath
As I concede to the destiny
Of this unholy night
I will feed again!

Infestation
07:09
|
|||
Infestation,
Infestation
Infestation surrounds you
Shine the halo of the street light
To reveal your frowning soul
Hide in the shadow of the moonlight
To conceal my Browning's fatal goal
Stalk, surprise
You see my eyes
Your final memory
Ritual,
Habitual
To set your spirit free
Are you sleeping?
Are you absent from the world's endeavors?
Are you dreaming?
Is there light to lead you to forever?
Infestation,
Infestation
Infestation surrounds you
Learn the mission of the story
In the sonic masquerade
Return me to the vision of the glory
To accuse my chronic flask parade
Angel's creed
Or demon's seed,
Which path is set for you?
A quest to find
Eternal time
The element of truth
Are you sleeping?
Are you dormant in a rage that's seething?
Are you dreaming
Of these serial grounds
On which you're bleeding?
You, you are my soldier
Sent to negotiate
The boundaries of existence
There were many before you
There will be many to follow
Cast to face the only thing I fear
I must feel the haunting
I'm seeking the passage
To the dawning of the glory
You, you are my victim
I care not for your gender or your status
Or foundation of your knowledge
Although your life did not offend me - Taken!
I am sorry for nothing
I feel sorry for no one
I am indifferent to your understanding
Of the burning of my hunger
For the glory, the glory
Sing, sing as you spread your wings
Are you worthy of the light,
Or are you wading in a sea of fire?
Or is there nothing?
Do you crawl your way through Limbo
Along with my conscience?
I want you to tell me, i need to know
Tell me now
Tell me now!
Infestation,
Infestation
Infestation surrounds you
Are you sleeping?
Does your mind expand while you lay silent?
Are you dreaming?
Is there peace of heart or horrid violence?
Are you sleeping?
Are you absent from the world's endeavors?
Are you dreaming?
Is there light to lead you to forever?

Spleen
02:54
|
|||
Run from the voice in the mirror
Run from the choice it lays before you
Run - that's the one thing you know how to do
Chasing your old footprints down the track
Run until you enter the cul-de-sac
And the pilot of your soul
Laughs, pulls the reins and brings you back
Seek the null beyond the half-ley line
Seek the null beyond the half-ley line
And you will be free...
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,...
Feed your spleen boy
Feed your spleen boy

Bloodstains in Paradise
05:59
|
|||
Blind little mole
Deep in your hole
Digging tunnels away from the light
The light hurts your eyes
Labyrinth of lies, crumbling
Crushed by the weight of the evidence
That you prefer not to see
Deep in the dirt of indifference
Digging away to be free
Free of pain
Free of stain
Free to walk
Without a chain
But you will never be
Free of pain
Free of stain
Free to walk
Without a chain
If the dirt that veils your eyes
Cloaks the bloodstains in paradise
Hiding in the trenches of your soul
Praying at your sunken totem pole
Digging in the dirt
Until your tunnels
Crisscross tunnels
As you dig away from light
Away from sound
You'll dig until you're sure
You won't be found
Dreaming in the cold embrace of dirt
Hidden where the truth will never hurt
Dreaming of a day
When you're not lying in the dark
Until your lies
Feed other lies
That breed like flies
Until the truth becomes
A fading dream
Within a dream
A silent scream
Another bloodstain in your veil of lies
Blind little mole
Deep in your hole
Digging tunnels away from the light
The light hurts your eyes
Labyrinth of lies, crumbling
Crushed by the weight of the evidence
That you prefer not to see
Deep in the dirt of indifference
Digging away to be free
Free of pain
Free of stain
Free to walk
Without a chain
But you will never be
Free of pain
Free of stain
Free to walk
Without a chain
If the dirt that veils your eyes
Cloaks the bloodstains in paradise

Devil's Promise
01:52
|
|||
A cold pewter frame
The dust has collected
Encircles my gaze
The distance reflected
Results are the same
Advances rejected
I conjure your name (no answer)
My spirit's defected from me
Goals have a need for progress
Ambition spoken to me
Hope makes me heed your promise
Promises broken to me
Furious blame
Emotion dissected
Lured by the flame
Your cold kisses
A coldness directed towards me
Left me here alone
You can leave here with me
Leaving me alone
Leave this behind with me
All alone - with me
I've been broken down
I have been broken hearted
I've been broken down
I have been broken hearted

Aleph
03:28
|
|||
Red follows grey
In waves that ebb and flow
Cold shadows laugh
Behind the silver glow
She was a sphinx without a secret
She was a song the glass will soon forget
Echoes of regret
Day buried night
And all her dying throes
Death follows life
And so the spiral grows
I am Aleph, the secret number
I am the null beyond the half-ley line
Evil and divine

The Great Fall Inwards
04:57
|
|||
I know you dream
Of sin in a holy place
A monster that wears your face
You've crawled
Alone through the maze
But the prize you seek
Is hidden, oblique
The path will destroy the meek
You hold the key
The gate is the mirror, but
You're standing with eyes wide shut
It's time
Open your eyes
Won't you take my hand
Walk through the glass
Enter the promised land
You can't fight your destiny
Just one step:
Set the monster free!
The moors are cast
Sail into the void
Forget the past
Let it be destroyed

The Music of the Primes
04:26
|
|||
Welcome my son, welcome home
Wayward in your tired cage of flesh and bone
You fell off the edge of your mind
Lost inside your maze of symbols
Third eye blind
Looking for salvation
In the music of the primes
To hide your crimes
Welcome my son, welcome home
Welcome to the land beyond the looking glass
Burst through the cold, silver womb
Fill your lungs and scream
The pain of birth will pass
Listen to the darkness
As it whispers in your ear
It's only truth you fear
Lost in the white noise roar
Deep in a trance
Prime number drumbeat
Pulse resonance
Sift through the chaos
In Reimann land
Digging for zeros
Deep in the sand
Blind little mole
Dig another hole
Dig another grave
And you will be saved!
Thought that what you heard
Was the voice of God
Calling to guide your search
Through the mud?
Thought your mind could grapple
With infinity
Creature of idiot fleshed vanity!
Don't you understand?
You're living in a dream
Everyone is damned
To dance for the memes
Feel the monkey on your back
Pushing you, gaining control
Searching through your bric-a-brac
For the last piece of your soul
Searching for the secret (Dance for the memes)
Patterns in all things (The broken mirror sings)
Numbers hold the secret (Dance for the memes)
Pulling at your strings (Pulling at your strings)
Don't you understand?
You can't wash the blood off your hands

From the Ashes
00:54
|
|||
Evicted from paradise
Before you were born
A stray dog in man's disguise
Looking for a home
Poor, lonely bastard of Cain
Wasting a prayer
To a deaf God above
Your only savior
Unconditional love
And love is a phoenix
From the ashes you have sown
You reach for his cage
But this bird has flown

Pariah
03:26
|
|||
Dark ages swallow
The fires of Rome
Empty and hollow
Your mind aches to roam
Long shadows follow
The lone pilgrim's march back home
Marching round in circles
Down the paths of yesterday
Chasing his old footprints
For the millionth time today
Locked into an orbit
Of eternal deja vu
Same old calculation
Dervish numbers whirl askew
You're the pariah
An outcast of man
Challenged Jehovah
To show you his hand
Number messiah
That no one can understand
Listen to the darkness
For the secrets that were lost
Thought you tuned the answer
But the signals did get crossed
Dialing for the secret
Lying on your bed of nails
Tune to revelation's
Idiot wind and fill your sails
The words of Deuteronomy
Losing war with entropy
The demons of infinity
Your secret numerology
Ply your abacus
Fly like Icarus
The harlot in your bed
Stained the walls in red
The crucible sublimes
The music of the primes
The voices in your head
The laughter of the dead
The words of Deuteronomy
Losing war with entropy
The demons of infinity
Your secret numerology
Hidden in these walls
Where the darkness calls
A creature void of form
Sought shelter from the storm
Buried in the hail
Bleeding on the trail
Lost in the unknown
The ashen bird has flown
All you touch
All you feel
All you hear
All you see
Tainted by heresy
Leave your soul
Hanging by the door
You won't need
That traitor no more...
