[Verse]
Limited by rational understanding
Nature exists without being judged
Surrounded by a dominant chance
Unpredictable events are born without hindrance
A possible vacuum fluctuation
Knowledge without physical evidence
In the deepest chaos
Lurks a kind of mysterious order
[Pre chorus]
Just as inertia opposes change
Something is opposed to the revelation of the cosmic understanding
[Chorus]
Dark matter
The untold prevails
Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales
[Verse]
In the endless search for the knowing
Theories try to unify all knowledge
But without solid arguments ongoing
These aren't more than fanciful ideals
[Pre chorus]
The discovery of truth could be a symptom of madness
Or is madness a symptom of the discovery of truth?
[Chorus]
Dark matter
The untold prevails
Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales
[Lead 1]
Dark matter, dark energy
The untold prevails
Dark matter, dark energy
Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales
[Lead 2]
[Verse]
Strong evidence of nonexistence
Calculations to determine what’s unobservable
Reality beyond perception
Wisdom beyond all reason
Chaos

Vector's volition

[Verse]
As forces we are
There’s a resultant implied
Our intentions as directions
In a collision of human interactions
In R3 vector field, infinite are the possibilities
In similar directions, they work together
In opposite directions, leads to a conflict
The resultant is determined by the strongest force
[Chorus]
A resultant strength
Symmetry of dynamics
The vector addition by individuals involved
A resultant strength
Symmetry of dynamics
Sociology are now Euclidean lines
[Verse]
In each single mind
Internal strengths pull outwards:
Reasons as a trajectory to travel
In a collision between ideas and acts
In R2 vector field, an infinite within another
In similar directions our goals and motivations
In opposite directions our personal conflicts
Our actions guided by emotions or determinations
There is no end for these synergies
The equilibrium process goes indefinitely
Zero, is the constant sumatory
Inertia, an essential element
The resultant is determined by the strongest force
[Chorus]
A resultant strength
Symmetry of dynamics
The vector addition by individuals involved
A resultant strength
Symmetry of dynamics
Sociology are now Euclidean lines

Kingdom of phantoms

[Verse]
The echo of the crows squawking your name
With the sweetest notes of forgetfulness
Seeing how you coexist with nothingness
Leading nowhere but circling the drain
[Bridge]
Cornered, misery's provider
mumbling with the spiders
weaving the lowest of griefs
Pierced by a pitiful relief
[Verse]
The lament of those who wander
cracking their wrists untill it's over
[Chorus]
Enter the kingdom of phantoms
Where the waste of the world prevails
Enter the kingdom of phantoms
An oblivion for the mentally decimated
[Verso]
Your last gasp dissolves in the dark
Disrupted, insignificant, you rest in fetid rags
Death comes and laughs behind your back
Peace never to come, your soul is forever stuck
Enter the kingdom of phantoms
Your soul is forever stuck
[Bridge]
Cornered, misery's provider
mumbling with the spiders
weaving the lowest of griefs
Pierced by a pitiful relief
[Chorus]
Enter the kingdom of phantoms
Where the waste of the world prevails
Enter the kingdom of phantoms
An oblivion for the mentally decimated

Born corrupted

[Verse]
Millennial descendants, an unknown race
With the capacity to design a new fate
They gave us evidence to trace them
They’d exiled us from this land
A black liquid they carry
Able to transmit or destroy life
At the same time creates a biological weapon
A lethal entity will come
Was it on purpose or accident?
A corrupted creature has mutated
Estrange form with accelerated growth
With no purpose but to consume its preys
[Chorus]
The hybrid one arise
The annihilator of lives
As a space threat
Our extinction awaits
A condemned spawn
Rendered to its curse
Motivated by the challenge:
Eliminate and disperse
[Verse]
The new evolved form has matured
Corrosive blood from within
Black breastplate equipped
The parasitoid is highly nocive
Hungry and quiet, they await
Stealthy and vicious, they target a bait
Then impregnates and kills the host
The ultimate decimation of lifeforms
Seeking the origins of humanity
Travelling the stars for answers
Our creators turned into hunters
We're unworthy to defy mortality
[Chorus]
The hybrid one arise
The annihilator of lives
As a space threat
Our extinction awaits
A condemned spawn
Rendered to its curse
Motivated by the challenge:
Eliminate and disperse
[Lead]
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Found in outer space
The evidence of pre-life compounds
Show us we come from the infinite
We’re no longer isolated in this sphere
Don’t know what is out of this world
But know what kind of entity we are:
The plague that consumes its environment
The virus that devours all resources
[Pre-Chorus]
What if that called “life” is a disease for the cosmic bodies?
Will there be more atrocities in the abysmal firmament?
[Chorus]
Someday the stars will take justice for their descendants
(A) supernova annihilates the poison called “the miracle”
One day they’ll grind it all
A cataclysm to purge it all
[Verse]
We are predetermined to subsist
Death to others for the survival of one
As life would come from far away
The extinction shall come from the outside
[Pre-Chorus]
What if that called “life” is a disease for the cosmic bodies?
Will there be more atrocities in the abysmal firmament?
[Chorus]
Someday the stars will take justice for their descendants
(A) supernova annihilates the poison called “the miracle”
One day they’ll grind it all
A cataclysm to purge it all

Beyond our insignificance
[Verses]
Bastard! Insignificant piece of existence!
Our time is uncertain, here and anywhere
There is no difference about to be or not
We are as replaceable as the stars in the firmament
Miserable! Fool and ephemeral mind!
If we don’t care about bacterial life,
Why the universe should care about us,
Our insignificant existence?
An honest contempt has more value than a false appreciation
Then let's release hate and let's be hated
[Chorus]
There’s nothing special about us
Sense of life is an illusion
Insignificant is our path
The entire understandings is irrelevant
There’s nothing special about all
Absurd is the need to understand it
Wake up and see the senseless
Nothing matters anymore
[Verses]
Ignorant! Ridiculous pseudo-thinker!
We are not intelligent, not a civilization
Pleasure takes us to a sea of lies and falseness
The abysmal ignorance and the lack of answers
Ingenuous! Innocent creature!
There is a universal knowledge, not an invention of mankind
There is a supreme cosmic awareness but we’re…
Only savage forms with some reasoning capability
Stop being proud of what life brings to you,
Happiness feel is the measurement of mediocrity.
[Chorus]
There’s nothing special about us
Sense of life is an illusion
Insignificant is our path
The entire understandings is irrelevant
There’s nothing special about all
Absurd is the need to understand it
Wake up and see the senseless
Nothing matters anymore
[Lead]
There’s nothing special about us
Sense of life is an illusion
There’s nothing special about all
Wake up and see the senseless
Nothing matters anymore

Our fears and dreams disappear
In the eerie darkness of space
Remains a corpse star
[Verse]
A nuclear overload
The death of a star
Echoes with a thunderous roar
Gravity crushes its core
From far it can be seen
(The) greatest cataclysm
Extinction of the Earth is near
A burst of radiation debris
The ozone layer depleted by gamma rays
All life form scorched in a cosmic blaze
[Chorus]
Our fears and dreams disappear
Our scars smoldering and charred
In the eerie darkness of space
Remains a corpse star
Our legacy in total absence
The end of our times
In the eerie darkness of space
Remains a corpse star
[Verse]
Fire engulfing our skins
An impending apocalypse
Torched Earth and the human race
Enters the void where nothing escapes
The dark devourer of light open its jaws
Witness the demise of the Earth and the Sun
[Chorus]
Our fears and dreams disappear
Our scars smoldering and charred
In the eerie darkness of space
Remains a corpse star
Our legacy in total absence
The end of our times
In the eerie darkness of space
Remains a corpse star

[Intro]
Horror vacui, ex nihilo!
[Verse]
The reign of the paradox
There's no empty space at all
Matter created from a living void
Virtual particles randomly born
then self-destroyed
Nearly detected by atomic measures
An unknown sea of brief life
arising from nowhere: the darkest treasure
Infinite energy fluctuating beyond the sky
The Universe expands
Emptiness - is more than the absence of things
Vacuum - is more than what it seems
It's not empty!
Not a demented theoretical prediction
Patterns returning to the unfathomable nothingness
The invisible hand of creation
The end and the beginning were always there
Ad cosmum, ad veritas!
Where all is constantly being created
Our description of the world
becomes the one we experience
A hidden puzzle yet to be solved
Are we creative seeds in the quantum abyss?
Most of the substance is composed by emptiness
The feeling of "existential emptiness" is metaphoric no more:
We are nothing, completely distant
We are insignificant, nearly inexistent
A void filled by misery wandering through the cosmos!

"A must-listen for fans of techy and experimental death metal. The band exhibits a dazzling level of technical ability and couples it with a mind for irresistible hooks. Every instrument is doing something cool on this album, including the vocal technique that reminds me of At The Gates and Hypocrisy but still doesn’t quiet resemble anything I’ve heard before." - Decibel Magazine
"A masterclass in old-school melodeath, with fast and melodic compositions that contrast with rigid vocals. The leads are complex and interact with the rhythm parts and main melodies in delightful fashion. For fans of classic melodeath like In Flames and Sarcasm, this album offers plenty of replay value." - The Metal Observer
"A plethora of technical and melodic riffs in the style of death metal, with black metal elements perfectly combined, reminiscent of Beyond Creation and The Black Dahlia Murder. An evolving modern sound with clean and powerful bass and clear yet aggressive production."
- BrutalView
"Some of the sacred cows of melodeath would like to be able to compose an album half as good as the one I'm telling you about today. Seriously, how wonderful! This is Melodic Death Metal of the highest category." - BrokenTomb
