Mortuus Machina

Suspended deep within the cognition storm A shattered perception of existence evermore The depression born futillity burning inside Fuels the vortex of this mental suicide Ingesting the darkness as we're facing the end An injected sequence of systematic descent Distorting evolution of the eternal machine As we turn the page towards our blank infinity Subjugated, cyber archetypes the new divinity Mutilated, dark mutations of biotechnology Desecrated, remnants of the final resistance Annihilated, the failed human subsistence Corroding the existence of this cybernetic mind The disconnected genetics sci-cloning inside Processing this state of dimensional symmetry A million light years inside a cold magnetic dream Disseminating this disease of tech-pestilence This integrated sequence of systematic descent Eradicating the final fragments of reality As we turn the page towards a blank infinity Time Burns life from the mortal frame Breaking down the structured bio-machinery Reborn in this symbiotic state True retrogression of humanity Apathetic as we self disintegrate Oblivious to this insanity Inhuman form ignites, induced from past decay Ever frozen in time The emptiness of this depleted energy Burns forever inside Lead (Stephen Murphy) Lead (Michel Soininen) Subjugated, cyber archetypes the new divinity Mutilated, dark mutations of biotechnology Desecrated, remnants of the final resistance Annihilated, the failed human subsistence Reborn in this symbiotic state True retrogression of humanity Apathetic as we self disintegrate Oblivious to this insanity Inhuman form ignites, induced from past decay Ever frozen in time The emptiness of this depleted energy Burns forever inside

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: M. Soininen, S. Murphy, A. Soininen] I take these hands And place them round your throat Mortality near straight away And still I run from this fucking pain Infected, this curse unknown Changing, distorted, deranged within The degeneration ends After this sense of reality The question begs, why was I chosen? Powerless in this fight for immunity Against this genetic sequence distortion We're all the same and this is not a game The ones you loved left alone, unchanged Take the strength and burn it away Pull it apart and start again Never again I'll feel this pain Hauled down to hell, more of the same More of the same Lifeless, I take your soul Absorbing your affliction Making it into my own [Lead: Michael Soininen] Re-engineering the mind Morphing of the flesh A fate inherited in blood Infected with malevolence Malignant strains coursing through these veins Cut in deep like a curse from hell Changing, distorted, deranged within Degenerations end After this sense of reality The question begs, why was I chosen? Powerless in this fight for immunity Against this genetic sequence distortion Can you see me now? My pathogenesis Cut me from this sequenced chain Can you see me now? My pathogenesis Destroy this relapsing metastasis We're all the same and this is not a game The ones you loved left alone, unchanged Take the strength and burn it away Pull it apart and start again Never again I'll feel this pain Hauled down to hell, more of the same More of the same [Lead: Michael Soininen] You're enslaved Suppressed in your mental cage A mutilated sin of my time Wretched, wasted it all It takes every ounce of strength Induced mutated genes Creation's failed auto immunity Failed immunity

Traces of life dispersed through eternity The onslaught of evolution Remnants of worlds floating in darkness This is all our Universum Meridian lines through space and time Continuum, bring forth a solution A small cog in the grand design Spin us a new revolution It is certain Did we exist before time? Is this our final dejection? A dissipating point of agression Indifferent toward our perception Can you hear them through the pain All but one are calling They see you losing your own way Closed eyes, no one remains Lead (Olof Morck) Lead (Marios Iliopoulos) I can't feel anything These throughts are blinding me Detached from all that's real I don't want anything It's taking over me Lead (Michael Soininen) Turn from the world I'm leaving all behind transcending all the lies Did we exist before time? Is this our final dejection? A dissipating point of agression Worlds of indifference toward our perception Traces of life dispersed through eternity The onslaught of evolution Remnants of worlds floating in darkness This is all our Universum Meridian lines through space and time Continuum, bring forth a solution A small cog in the grand design Spin us a new revolution It's uncertain? Fearless, they're trembling Ageless, the reckoning It's damaging Pure memories All uncertainty, my mortality Can you hear them through the pain All but one are calling They see you losing your own way Closed eyes, no one remains

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: A. Soininen, S. Murphy] Enslaved to fear inside Trapped in this life The closing walls of time Tainted transparency A faltered mind of travesty I walk the path with none by my side I've failed to grasp the light Tears flow from the eyes of pain This vortex pulls me down Left bleeding and trapped inside A dark reminder of the sin I live Falling, I've had too many chances The judgement is called, now and I am sinking Take me away This fate, forever cursed Don't leave me alone in my misery A slave to fear inside Trapped within these Closing walls of time Fading transparency A faltered mind in travesty A judgement of death determines my fate [Lead: Paul Wardingham] Embodied, a dark reckoning mind Devolving thoughts, fading in time Falling supremacy Shattered versions of reality In this state of disarray Of shadows and eternal flames Distorted figures of humanity Consumed by this fucking disease Take me away This fate, forever cursed Don't leave me alone in my misery Enslaved to fear inside Trapped in this life The closing walls of time Tainted transparency A faltered mind of travesty Take me away This fate, forever cursed Don't leave me alone in my misery Tears flow from the eyes of pain This vortex pulls me down

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: M. Soininen] Plagued by senseless tragedy All consuming pain In the eyes of the other man Killing is today Just expect to walk away I thought he would never be named Descending on the very mistake Decisions of fate, is mine for the taking My delusions surround me No longer a senseless dream Are these the threads of my sanity? It's a side of my emptiness Blackened thoughts so far Spare me as I'm the only son Evil has delivered a changed man A mind in blackness Two point zero, in the darkness My delusions surround me No longer a senseless dream Are these the threads of my sanity?

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: M.

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: A. Soininen] Torn between frayed realities Shattered forms of oblivion Deprived of light and sanity Weakened by this fear and pain A negated call to reincarnate From failure to find the light within Skewed waves of thought located In this dimensional asymmetry Delusions filter the light Human form lives to die Prepared for endless night Pain ignites the flame inside Flames traverse the lines Of self hate and desolation Stained in fading transparency Now what colours do I show? Past life blinded by fear And faltered ascendancy Distorted states of disparity Ignite the war inside of me [Lead: Michael Soininen] [Lead: Ola Frenning] Delusions filter the light Human form lives to die Prepared for endless night Pain ignites the flame inside [Lead: Stephen Murphy] Delusions filter the light Human form lives to die Prepared for endless night Pain ignites the flame inside

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: A. Soininen] Can you hear demons crawl? They're feeding on our flesh A bite into the depths We proudly wear the scars Unrest again Lost in a maze of thrashed nerves And now unashamed, we've changed forever We are the haters So we've lost our way, now we will lose it all Who is left standing when the black death rolls in? Devour us all A seascape of bones decayed None will stand here as the black death rolls in We push to reach our limits And face the impossible rain Pushing deep into the abyss Towards our final decay... Unearth the horrors That lay beneath the ocean floor Our ravaged frames for the feed Few are left to honour Today the skies are turning grey Destruction left in your wake So we've lost our way Now we will lose it all None left standing, devour us whole A seascape of bones decayed Enduring sleep in pain None left standing, the black death rolls... Unrest again Lost in a maze of thrashed nerves And now unashamed, we've changed forever We are the haters We've pushed to reach our limit And faced the impossible rain Dragged deep into the abyss Towards our final decay... So we've lost our way Now we will lose it all None left standing, devour us whole A seascape of bones decayed Enduring sleep, so grey None will stand when black death rolls? With so much to give and desire to share it all And belief so strong the demons can't hold on Rising fall, taken away The feeble are left to crawl Broken and made to crawl Still we find ourselves so numb Still we find ourselves so numb

[Music: M. Soininen, Words: A. Soininen, M. Soininen, S. Murphy] Wade through the pain Still burns the same Tiresome, so mundane Take me away Wash out the rage Shattered and so alone Glass like figures stare through the sphered windows Passing with the light they they hold That they hold on Flames blaze through the darkness that follows in Burning the creatures that roam inside, they're still alive Questioning the dark unknown This unnatural existence This can't be avoided The white sun draws me near But will I reach it before gravity takes hold? [Lead: Michael Soininen] Descend into death Now left behind in the dark Should I fight or should I deny? Once afraid, still unchanged Distant now, fading life Flames blaze through the darkness that follows in Burning the creatures that roam inside, they're still alive [Lead: Michael Soininen] To await The flame is dying now Regret to late Watch how this day will end

Soininen] Breathing in the chilled air The final taste of these last days Filled with vast depression Reminiscent of yesterday The weathering of old storms This face of years gone by Cold with regret, empty wasted life Standing, watching in slow motion Conscious thought completely dissolves Despair calling out my name Can't protect myself from this anymore Constantly consumed with these thoughts Cold as winter's breath The final moment sets in Watch until the end Look into the eye, I'm falling Nothing lasts forever To watch, watch until the end, To gaze into the eye, we're falling Nothing lives forever Tomorrow bring me rest Lay waste to these dying cells This emptiness inside To exist where nothingness dwells The weathering of old storms This face of years gone by Cold with regret, empty wasted life Standing, watching in slow motion Conscious thought completely dissolves Hunting, searching for the answers To an existence never resolved [Lead: Stephen Murphy] Live forever Sheltered from your reality I've known no better Deprived of life and normality Can't control this Fallen in too deep Skewed waves of thought reside in me Bleak dimension of asymmetry Of asymmetry And now We watch until the end Look into the eye, I'm falling Nothing lasts for ever To watch, watch until the end, To gaze into the eye, we're falling Nothing lives for ever Breathing in the chilled air The final taste of these last days Filled with vast depression Reminiscent of yesterday Hunting, searching for the answers To an existence never resolved And now, watch until the end Look into the eye, I'm falling Nothing lasts for ever To watch, watch until the end To gaze into the eye, we're falling Nothing lives for ever
