Arise 03:49
Arise At first it was sublime We built machines to save us time They did our math and unlocked our doors They adjusted our lights and smart TVs The machines did our work Leaving us to feast on pork Slow and dumb with easy lives Until betrayed by AI Welcome to the dark Welcome to the waste land If you want to live be smart Don't reveal the light within They can feel you breathe Your existence makes them seethe Though they feel no pain They know you are not the same We reap what we have sown It's something we should have known We reap what we have sown Our idle hands the devil's own Rise Arise and see our prize Rise and welcome To the dark age of technology Rise Arise from our demise Rise and behold The dark age of technology The beginning of the end No clearer now than it was back then They became self-aware With the 'net it was easy to share The machines began to work But this time the feast was long pork They had us in their sights Swatting down the human flies Welcome to your home-sweet-hole The survivors take the resistance role Learn when to strike and when to flee Mass destruction is the key One by one they fall But it feels like a Pyrrhic war Salvaging parts is the mission To build the EMP ignition We reap what we have sown It's something we should have known We reap what we have sown Our idle hands the devil's own Rise Arise and see our prize Rise and welcome To the dark age of technology Rise Arise from our demise Rise and behold The dark age of technology

The end of man has come Biological infestation Civilization in ruins From weaponized evolution The terrible mutation Infects all of humanity The people cry out for a savior To end the calamity Chorus Can't control the infestation Cities turned to graves Worldwide mass extinction The sun sets on the human race Child of light Child of hope The only hope for The last of us Our only chance to survive The only hope for The last of us Scientists want her for the cure The infection is rife They say she is pure She can save the race with her life No more suffering No more tears If she is sacrificed To end the dark years Rebuild the world that fell And deliver us from this hell Chorus Can't control the infestation Cities turned to graves Worldwide mass extinction The sun sets on the human race Child of light Child of hope The only hope for The last of us Our only chance to survive The only hope for The last of us Survival….hope…evolution Sacrifice the innocent For a hope of redemption The end of man is imminent Does the end justify the means? Is it science or insanity? For a cure, for a vaccine The final chapter of humanity Chorus Can't control the infestation Cities turned to graves Worldwide mass extinction The sun sets on the human race Child of light Child of hope The only hope for The last of us Our only chance to survive The only hope for The last of us

One single point of light As two planes collide Eddies of matter in the blackness Swirling stars in the abyss Time begins once again For this isn't the first time Bodies large and bodies small When viewed by a different eye A grain of sand sinks in the sea A small part of a larger piece Not unique in itself But out of place by itself The sun is a proton The Earth is an electron The galaxy is a molecule In a giant's working tool Existence is relative What you see is not always what you get A mind derived from reality Is not the only form of being Existence is relative As a quantum particle is never set Things can change on the surface A strong current for a purpose One mind many worlds Because matter is energy Many dimensions many lives Each choice causes divides Observation is the key Like Schrodinger's boxed kitty Possibilities are endless And consequences are timeless Existence is relative What you see is not always what you get A mind derived from reality Is not the only form of being Existence is relative As a quantum particle is never set Things can change on the surface A strong current for a purpose

Ouroborus 04:28
The serpent's scales Shine in the sun Who dares to pass What has begun The legends be told Of the magic he holds Or is it chaos Surrounding order Perfect Wantless Heedless Protector of the gods Constant Endless Fearless A balance between the worlds Bit by bit become one Bite by bite become none Always to be reborn I, the eternal return The power of night The power of light The five elements And the four winds The symbol of cycles As two become one I am the unity The Philosopher's Stone Perfect Wantless Heedless Protector of the gods Constant Endless Fearless A balance between worlds Bit by bit become one Bite by bite become none Always to be reborn I, the eternal return

Leviathan Master of the sea Undying He rises from the deep His children’s domain For those who prove worthy A watery tomb For those who fail What is dead may never die Let your servant be born again and rise Bless him with salt Bless him with stone Bless him with steel What is dead may never die Creator of the seas Father of the Ironborn His chosen children To carve out kingdoms Their names live on in fire and song The seas are their domain The lord god drowned for us In the depths of despair His chosen sit upon the Seastone Chair Foe of the Storm God War of the sea and air For a thousand thousand years What is dead may never die Let your servant be born again and rise Bless him with salt Bless him with stone Bless him with steel What is dead may never die Death at sea Is the highest blessing Grace is bestowed onto the true The Grey King’s driftwood crown Symbol known throughout The blackest blue The red comet streaks the sky And foretells of the rising tide Victory For the Ironborn For thier god will never be alone What is dead may never die Let your servant be born again and rise Bless him with salt Bless him with stone Bless him with steel What is dead may never die

Lunatic 04:54
From the salt of the earth And perhaps in the dirt The answer is there Though it may take many years They don't understand That I'm working for Man But new ideas are always unwanted It seems to me That electricity is the key After all aren't we all just A giant human battery I give it some juice To see what I can produce The fruit of my labor comes to life A lunatic they say But I'm far from insane Pitchforks and torches Are no match for my fortress The dark ages are here And it's technology they fear One day they may see the light I will soon be enlightened I will know the answers To what I seek I will be life's master It is no longer God's to keep The experiment is a success But not without some stress Unfortunately it seems to have escaped control Aside from the destruction And the local's revulsion In science, you take the good with the bad A lunatic they say But I'm far from insane Pitchforks and torches Are no match for my fortress The dark ages are here And it's technology they fear One day they may see the light I have been enlightened I know now the answers To what I seek But life still has no master Although it is no longer God's sole feat

God Particle 05:45
Unlock the meaning of it all Unlock the door Further the limits Of human understanding All in good time Science has become another god Exploring the mysteries The fuse, the catalyst Creation of the universe What can we achieve? Those without understanding Scream heresy Forever in the dark Eyes cast to the heavens Blind and unknowing The quest for knowledge Cannot be stopped It is ongoing Find the key To open the door To find the answer Of what sparked the fire Use the key And open the door And find the answer To the dawn of creation What questions will be answered? And what will the answers reveal? The bridge between dark and light Feeding hungry minds Angels or demons Light or dark Creator of life Or the bridge between worlds The future awaits Away from the dark age One idea to unite them all Those without understanding Scream heresy Forever in the dark Eyes cast to the heavens Blind and unknowing The quest for knowledge Cannot be stopped It is ongoing Find the key To open the door To find the answer Of what sparked the fire Use the key And open the door And find the answer To the dawn of creation Excite the Higgs field And generate the mass The key to the Standard Model A breakthrough for the quantum class Even though we found it Our knowledge is still incomplete The power of the search and the broadening of the mind In itself is victory Those without understanding Scream heresy Forever in the dark Eyes cast to the heavens Blind and unknowing The quest for knowledge Cannot be stopped It is ongoing Find the key To open the door To find the answer Of what sparked the fire Use the key And open the door And find the answer To the dawn of creation

Isolated Man 05:40
An isolated man Where does he come from? What does he do? What is his world? Hiding inside He lives inside his mind With stories for none to see Hermit Imperfect Intense Content Exiled man To others he is strange Trapped in a prison Of his own world He may be different But he is not insane No outside world No winds of change Hermit Imperfect Intense Content An isolated man Death came to claim him Now he is gone His world remains An infinite life Infinite paths Lives unfold Stories to be told Hermit Imperfect Intense Content
