1.	Cosmic Disturbance 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Sickening sensations fill me as I integrate My consciousness now octal code I am no longer post-human A higher observer fascinated by a never ending experiment This program, this simulation, it disproves my very existence In my haste to leave, this program resets As a million times before; our universe begins Compression from every direction Implosion from another place Redshift on all points across the membranes outward surface Hallucinations or a dream? Only able to watch Am I the creator of this contained, controlled, closed system Finite knowledge spreads out in the form of thermal radiation Rapid expansion of space-time slows down due to processing limitations Counterparts appear to challenge this brand new realm of chaos A war begins at the deepest level of projected resonance Intense heat, glowing; observing from the outside realm All dimensions bow down to the"zero" field for gravitation Consolidate, coalesce, single-shelled builders unite in violence Photons emerge victorious from this cosmic disturbance
2.	Primordial Sea 05:10	lyrics	buy track
Fundamental laws now simulate, calculating at full capacity No more hindrance from the user, temporal-causality loop complete Gravity reigns supreme in this primordial hydrogen sea! Collapsing into engines of life; furnaces that will create new entities Ejected from their dying mothers convoluted atoms emerge Permeating steadily throughout this young universe This infant cosmos captivates my overloaded senses Fear kept at bay by this display Imitation of vision in this ancient program This impossible universe dances before me (swirling spectrums of everything) To see the origins of time and how it can be bent I have come to this place a prisoner by cosmic accident (located above reality) Mass falls unto itself Superclusters begin to form Memories of a past life emerge I must warn my brethren of this meaningless existence At random they're picked, constantly shifted Eons of chaotic chemistry Frantic search for humans among infantile galaxies Epoch of organics comes, traced back to the stars Why is time flowing so fast My consciousness detects a pale blue dot among an octillionth set Preparing to descend, a thought begins to form Interfere with the timeline I'm part-human after all; seeking to prevent The catastrophe that will kill us all Fear rears its head as I realize Why I am truly here I must stop myself from leaving my native realm As time slows, I gasp for air The instincts of a descendant of Gaia Unbeknownst, I've doomed my kind My descent creates the event I came to prevent My code dissolves as I leave this place A strange new star is born inside the program Signal emission of strange composition A holographic projection yet conscious Deep reflection on those lost I seem to be a control in this experiment
3.	Starbound 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Eons pass in minutes as life infests the earth (relativity!) In the blink of an eye bipedal primates evolve (the beginning of our destiny) Quick to alleviate the suffering of existence (dead progress) Artificial children are forged; the next step in our evolution The machine wars erupt in a second sunrise (The violence begins) Shortly after the technological singularity (What should have been glorious) Humans learn nothing as they kill their own creations (Slaughter the innocent) Driven by a childish fear of immortality (How else can we explore this galaxy?) Some still remain that see the path to ascension (An urge to leave) A nation of post-organics and machines (Harmonious coexistence) While the zealots destroy earth in the name of higher powers (Deluded sheep) A daring plan on earth's moon is conceived to leave this system behind Manipulation of subspace and exotic particles Allows this new sect to harness energy from zero point Robotic precision aided by artificial intelligence Opens the door to the stars Synthetic minds reach out into the vast expanse A binary system capable of life and solar sustenance New beginning located 44 cold light-years away As they ascend, Midgard burns in their wake The citizens of Theia start their perilous interstellar voyage To conquer the stars in the name of those before us and of science A trip that should've taken 180,000 years is shortened Starbound! accelerate into the Oort Lead by a machine-god to start a grand new epoch Glistening ahead Two points of light filled with hope and anxiety Halfway mark grasped and reached Theoretical Lagrange point between Valholl and Sol achieved Deceleration begins; two decades of pursuing zero.98c velocity comes to an end Scouting party reports that a single moon contains flora and fauna of alien origin
4.	Suffer In Silence 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Suffer Suffer in silence forever Suffer forever We are alone, suffer in silence Left to die and rot out in this place Wars no longer waged in the name of deities Only a wasteland exists Convert our weapons of terror into water filtration Tools to survive this place United we stand to see the last light and die with Gaia unless we are saved Last effort to atone for our crime through meditation; enter a global deep sleep We are alone, suffer in silence Forgive us synthetic brothers for we have learned from our mistakes We are alone, suffer in hubris Nothing is more frightening than being the only sentience Contemplation, meditation, searching for higher resonance Deep perception; outer extensions in this grand experience called existence Life and duality: intertwined, a mystery Darkness or coherent light? On the other side of consciousness The few that wake up from their deep sleep Have not glimpsed an afterlife Nothing exists beyond the vale Post-organic or otherwise Clarity strikes the remaining Gaians Must mend the past with the Theian sect Cherish life for there is nothing That awaits us after death A dying race reaches out To its moon that lays so far Upon arrival find it abandoned No life to be found Filtered out distress signals Racing out from Sol's heliopause Forever to mimic dust and echoes Suffer in silence
5.	The Cloud 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Burning through the night in tightly wound skin Layers upon layers to protect us all within All these ships may as well be tombs A final resting place for all of our deeds and sins Miniature novas obliterate nearly half our fleet Smashing into the unknown cloud at relativistic speeds Denser medium; predicted and did all we could No technology in our arsenal to deflect these micro-beasts Critical mission failure not an option given our race's state The children of Gaia: all their knowledge, dreams, and hopes must be saved The only solace, this is the deceleration stage Hitting a dust cloud at 3% the speed of light is quite the display If there's a creator please forgive them Those that killed and maimed us that we chose to leave behind Facing extinction; make a collective decision to inflict upon this cloud What was done to us out of pride Purge! Highly energized beams of radiation Blast out from our bows directed at the cloud A brilliant flash and its gone converted violently A fire that would engulf all the earth How fortunate are we to have only encountered A cloud of such inconsequential matter Burning forth again unhindered we will not surrender To the rigors of the void Purge!
6.	New Theia 05:50	lyrics	buy track
Terra-forming mega-structures separate from the migrant fleet Rendezvous with the scouting party assessing the situation Awe struck by the Jovian that enslaved this world as its moon Left speechless by the sight of a beautiful new horizon Machinations and organics hear my subspace cry Come forth and join us in Valholl to create stable life Illuminate the truth so we can obliterate fear and deceit The two suns that shine upon New Theia are elite Entry, descent, landing at night Water flows everywhere; to our shock That life exists of carbon and photosynthesis Vegetation covers everything in sight This truly is a garden world An oasis; a safe haven for synthetics Fascinating creatures roam freely in this land Of dark purple yet no sign Of sentience and intelligence Primitive synapses rule this domain Seeking as we all do procreation, sustenance; survival of the fittest Ominous tones of energy vibrate as this planet falls Perfectly proportioned elements reflect the cosmos within us all Here they make a new home and attempt to live in peace with nature While delving deeper into the mathematics of what they think is the universe Chaos within nothingness: forged in violence This universe that we find ourselves in Projected dissonance from another domain Reaching out to seek sustenance Infinite multiverse That is intertwined; descending lower Connected in series to provide him with power New Theia's goal is clear Define the meaning of time and life Unaware of the overseer Scanning down galactic filaments to the Planck layer Unseen patterns that arise from nothingness Sift through the entropy that is this cosmos Looking for design or sentience Signal detected emanating from space So very distant, echoes radiating Gaia long gone; consumed by a bloated dying sol Her fate forever sealed by the main sequence that we know Yet this signal, something within; a human touch Defies all logic and puts into question our existence Primal instincts begin to kick in We may be machines but we were created by humans Beyond the gamma range tucked into a "corner" Our preconceived notions of where a foreign signal should lay Searching within and all around us for the answer While the signal has been emanating from there for a very long time A collection of minds built to seek the truth Never to shy away from any and all answers that solve entropy and decay Echoes come from a distant star pulsating through the universe Directed at us with intention to communicate With the same minds that connect to analyze and sift Put back together piece by piece, to reconstruct this message 160ghz, coincidence or fate Cmbr? dust and echoes? or an alien invitation Eager eyes synthesize vibrations in the aether The echo continues to oscillate as the cosmic cycle repeats Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
7.	The Signal 03:34	lyrics	buy track
As I writhe, virtual pain Infiltrate my being In this simulation of infinite misery Diffuse light, permanent black; how do I differentiate Separate my suffering from this periphery A warning! Sent forth from this stellar vessel In tongues, twisted from my original form Hissing radiation to the void Why can no one hear my cries, so forlorn Emitting in the ancient spectrum Hoping against all hope That my cries received by my brothers and sisters Heed my warning and untangle my qualms I see (that this has happened all before) In the effervescence of existence The turbulent wake of fate As energy materializes into this system And only now does it dawn on me Am I the reason that this universe exists One of infinite possibilities A bubble amongst many flashing in and out of existence
