01. Morphogenesis - Lyrics:
This is year zero
All we knew has died
The mutiny came so sudden, killing yesterday
Thoughts that force discordance away
Once more, an era is fading
Whatever dreams we're reaching to claim
Decides the path we are taking
Gone forever, we are done with world-views mechanical
None shall ever be a slave to thoughts inside their heads
Mind is the master, morphogenesis
This structure remains untrodden, a new reality
Gone forever, we are done with world-views mechanical
None shall ever be a slave to thoughts inside their heads
Gone forever, we are done with world-views mechanical
None shall ever be a slave to thoughts inside their heads
Bleeding through all the spheres
All our thoughts, all our fears, gaining life
Soul, mind, heart, feeding starts now
Rising from ashen dust
Through our sins, karmic cost
Measured souls
Weigh our hearts, judge our thoughts, no
Thoughts that force discordance away
Once more an era is fading
Whatever dreams we're reaching to claim
Decides the path we are taking
Gone forever, we are done with world-views mechanical
None shall ever be a slave to thoughts inside their heads
02. Timewave Zero - Lyrics:
All is gone now, atone
Linear time overthrown
When you find it's all a lie
All worlds will die
Time was all mine, I know
Read the signs that I've shown
If you read between the lines
You'll know once the end comes
Signs will arrive tonight
Guiding light decrease my pain
That I created on my own
Blind be my eyes tonight
Hide the sight that sees in vain
Before and after is all done
And everything is in time gone
As I moved into worlds forsaken
I saw things mankind can never own
When we move on through minds awaken
Die while you're alive and then you'll know
Speak to mankind
Through the raining light benign
Signs will arrive tonight
Guiding light decrease my pain
That I created on my own
Blind be my eyes tonight
Hide the sight that sees in vain
Before and after is all done
And everything is in time gone
Signs will arrive tonight
Guiding light decrease my pain
That I created on my own
Blind be my eyes tonight
Hide the sight that sees in vain
Before and after is all done
And everything is in time gone
03. Quantumleaper - Lyrics:
I'm nothing and all things
I drift between dimensions
I'm lifeless, immortal
Collapsed duality
My language is wordless
A silent scream to your ears
Enigma in plain sight
Time space anomaly
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
I'm right here and nowhere
Upon me rests creation
I am wave and lepton
The eerie paradox
Wrong focus, wrong methods
This way you'll never get me
Exclude flesh, include mind
And drift along with me
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
You observe me in a grain of sand
Infinity beheld
Universe in the palm of your hand
Infinity unveiled
View this progress as an omen
When mind allows, feel it pull you further down
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
04. Artificial Sun Projection - Lyrics:
An invented sun, rays reflecting the cosmic glow
Perceptive radiance
Our invented gods halt the active mind
No alteration, alteration
Illusory acts in circles, count the days and nights
Earth time
Finding the only way out means to arise, ascend
I shall ascend
Form the passing time, building day and night
Thy will be done, shape the sand to hours
My time will come, clear as day the signs
Conceptional, shape the hands of ours
Your will's been done since the dawn of time
Forever to renew the universe
Waiting as cold daylight turns into night
Turns into night
An invented sun, rays reflecting the cosmic glow
Perceptive radiance
Our invented gods halt the active mind
No alteration, alteration
Thy will be done, shape the sand to hours
My time will come, clear as day the signs
Conceptional, shape the hands of ours
Your will's been done since the dawn of time
Shape the sand to hours
Clear as day the signs
Shape the hands of ours
Since the dawn of time
05. The Missing Coordinates - Lyrics:
A psi-experiment to seek out the enemy
Unleashed abilities obscured within the self
Trace the site, start to decode
I seek signal lines, go through the grid and back again
And then I'm finding the withering light in me
Senses waking up again
Given coordinates reveals the place we search
The field contains all info in states where time is still
Sites to view and things to know
I use forgotten skills to soar this grid and re-access the soul
And then I'm finding the withering light in me
Senses waking up again
What I sense is always real
As I rip through the threads of time
Waging wars to be on my own
Will it ever end
A psi-experiment to seek out the enemy
Unleashed abilities obscured within the self
Trace the site, start to decode
I seek signal lines, go through the grid and back again
And then I'm finding the withering light in me
Senses waking up again
What I sense is always real
As I rip through the threads of time
Waging wars to be on my own
Will it ever end
06. Ghost Prototype I:
Measurement Of Thought - Lyrics:
A law of nature undefined
Subtle force we find at play
A door to thoughts revealed now
Open the gate, step outside the frame
Then you will find that your shallow role is but a symptom of thoughts inside
Don't say you must play that role to define yourself
Now space and time seem to decline
See the sky behind the wave
Internal worlds reveal how
Thoughts can descend like a falling rain
Then you will find that your shallow role is but a symptom of thoughts inside
Don't say you must play that role to define yourself
Ride beyond time and you'll know
That new thoughts descend now
Fly beyond time and you'll know
I am at one with all things
When you measure your thoughts you will find that I have no form
A law of nature undefined revealed now
Open the gate, step outside the frame
Then you will find that your shallow role is but a symptom of thoughts inside
Don't say you must play that role to define yourself
Ride beyond time and you'll know
That new thoughts descend now
Fly beyond time and you'll know
07. Fear Catalyst - Lyrics:
As you pray like victims
Sworn to fulfill duality
Victimized by your duty
Your awakening incomplete
Seething, seething
Breathing fear within
Seething, seething
Breathing fear within
Fear will be one with the unknown
And once awake you will find you got it all wrong
Accumulate and find the things you lack
To stimulate the change of track
Fear never binds you and never will
Religion holds you and blinds you still
As the sage, a victor
Called to end all duality
Terror turns into beauty
Find awakening is complete
Seething, seething
Breathing fear within
Seething, seething
Breathing fear within
Fear will be one with the unknown
And once awake you will find you got it all wrong
Accumulate and find the things you lack
To stimulate the change of track
Fear never binds you and never will
Religion holds you and blinds you still
You come alive and feel this way
Never will life betray you again
Only have the self to blame
Never will life betray you again
Accumulate and find the things you lack
To stimulate the change of track
Fear never binds you and never will
Religion holds you and blinds you still
08. Trapezoid - Lyrics:
Research finding pathways in the seamless web
In black spaces between words a field unknown
Repeat endless mantras of the stored collective drone
A surface-world is what the senses show
But you cannot taste the essence of your soul
Sever all strings to the confined
Forget all that has been
Sever all strings to mortal life
Unveil and see through
With every thought you find a sequence has begun
And when you trust the senses, peace of mind will never come
Through false sensory perceptions of the flesh
You paint without colors on a canvas blank
Deceived by the history on which we do bestow
Based on the past we re-enact what's gone
And when all else fails your essence will go on
Sever all strings to the confined
Forget all that has been
Sever all strings to mortal life
Unveil and see through
With every thought you find a sequence has begun
And when you trust the senses, peace of mind will never come
All that's been said and done is open to perceive in any way desired
Now behold - conflict is gone
Whatever you find is never the truth
Unless it doesn't die as time goes by
Whatever you find, you just have to wait
All things found will in time be gone
Sever all strings to the confined
Forget all that has been
Sever all strings to mortal life
Unveil and see through
With every thought you find a sequence has begun
And when you trust the senses, peace of mind will never come
All that's been said and done is open to perceive in any way desired
Now behold - conflict is gone
09. Prism And Gate - Lyrics:
I'm submerged in filth, fragmented chaos
In chrysalis state I await my birth
Thoughts and memories proceed to haunt me
Soon all these fragments will be gone
Morphing begins
I'm becoming a god
Birth is nothing but death's beginning
Now as my soul is yearning
Morph to new paradigms
Find wisdom in the learning
My will always finds a way
See the embers burning
Sense no dividing line
Same being, dead or living
My will burns through time
This being feeds within now
To be born, be alive
Feed inside
Its presence goes beyond life
Fate will follow the mind
Birth is nothing but death's beginning
Now as my soul is yearning
Morph to new paradigms
Find wisdom in the learning
My will always finds a way
See the embers burning
Sense no dividing line
Same being, dead or living
My will burns through time
This being feeds within now
To be born, be alive
Feed inside
Its presence goes beyond life
Fate will follow the mind
Morphing complete
Come forth emerging god
Birth is nothing but death's beginning
This being feeds within now
To be born, be alive
Feed inside
Its presence goes beyond life
Fate will follow the mind
I am the one within now
I'm the transforming tide
10. Holographic Universe - Lyrics:
Bathe in laser light, the beam will underline
The birth of universe from nothingness
Prime awakening, the second beams come in
To bounce and interfere as drawn by will
We're finding that we can never die
A subject no more to loss and gain
The more you try to connect with form
The less you're yearning to see all you could behold
Then the third beam comes to bring it all alive
And bring to form the once chaotic swirl
See creation sing the word infinity
Behold this organized constructive skill
We're finding that we can never die
A subject no more to loss and gain
The more you try to connect with form
The less you're yearning to see all you could behold
While all we did was to divide
Breaking down the whole
We never looked at what we found
Hologram within
Why we relied on space and time
No one here can know
At last we looked at what we found
Holographic worlds are in sight
To consciousness we moved from where we used to find a god
We have made this concept our own
Now we believe that this reality came from a dream
Forever tried to tell us: "Time is on our side"
You recite this knowing and you find it all
Night leads to day as mind finds a way
You were asleep now you leave the role of one forsaken play
This time we found a way to view the world inside
Now we've come to know it and leave the past behind
While all we did was to divide
Breaking down the whole
We never looked at what we found
Rise from decay in worlds gone astray
Truth lies beneath, hiding deep within a once forsaken way
While all we did was to divide
Breaking down the whole
We never looked at what we found
Hologram within
Why we relied on space and time
No one here can know
At last we looked at what we found
Here unfolds the truth of all that is alive
And here we wash away what was proclaimed
Hail awakening, forever lead us in the urge to be alive
We know you will
11. The Three-Dimensional Shadow - Lyrics:
Behold this world that gave birth to you
Its secret nature out of sight
Imprisoned by what we think we know
In life-long dreams we hold for real
Known a drop, unknown an ocean
Feeling astray
We, mankind, strangers in our own world
Riding the waves we are
Now it's time to turn the page, we've waited for so long
Waiting for the dawn to come when we control the sun
And now this world that gave birth to you
Will see that you're the source of light
Known a drop, unknown an ocean
Feeling astray
We, mankind, strangers in our own world
Riding the waves we are
Now it's time to go beyond, revealing the concealed
Leaving all the things we know to view the paths unknown
World, we've been waiting for so long
Now turn the page
Known a drop, unknown an ocean
Feeling astray
We, mankind, strangers in our own world
Riding the waves we are
Now it's time to turn the page, we've waited for so long
Waiting for the dawn to come when we control the sun
Now it's time to go beyond, revealing the concealed
Leaving all the things we know to view the paths unknown
12. Ghost Prototype II:
Deus Ex Machina - Lyrics:
And then we found it all caged inside a dream
All-seeing eye sees afloat
Soon it will see no more
For we will not conform
We're ghosts in the machine
A holographic world-view, existence in display
Where everything must work as one and never break in two
This concept lives forever outside all state control
And ever shedding skin
All things new are fought against
Even though their time has come
Stretch and reach to conscious mind
Seek defeat in those who fear
For we will not conform
We're ghosts in the machine
Each separated droplet seek to rejoin the sea
The structure of the hologram can never break in two
Ways to embrace and enter the oneness of it all
Are ever shedding skin
While it's waiting to rise within
Know you'll never conform
While it's rising - for once, for all
Rise on your own
Rising just to remind you
The inner sector is where you built this nightmare
Rivers will always flow forth into the ocean
A manifest of silent rhyme
Silent rhyme
Wordless rhyme
And then we found it all caged inside a dream
All-seeing eye sees afloat
Soon it will see no more
All things new are fought against
Even though their time has come
For we will not conform
We're ghosts in the machine
Change how you look at all things and what you see will change
Observer and what is observed can never break in two
The quantum revolution never cease to evolve
Forever shedding skin
While it's waiting to rise within
Know you'll never conform
While it's rising - for once, for all
Rise on your own
