Seedling State EP

Lights Became just shadows upon the wall, stories we used to whisper, secrets said but never told. Awaken in the morrow, hung under when solids are liquefied. Pondering about existence when hollow tunes echo through my head, listening to pointless violence summon in the voice of the dead. Wake from the dream to the scene of chaotic screaming I pause through this life thinking of all that I've left behind. Burrowed underneath a soil so sweet and full of light twisting its tendrels choking us its brought us all back to life. So sick and young a new day has come to thread the fashions of fate over shoulder we turn but we never seem to walk away. Petals fall as I taste the way the beauty of the sun colours my face. Awaken through the strife to the scene of chaotic screaming, pausing through this life thinking of all that I've left behind. Autumn begins to settle in heart beats raining down our destruction. Poisoned in our seedling state on and on refuse to admit mistake. Trapped within this hate of mine turning sour and contrived. Wake from the dream to the scene of chaotic screaming, pause through the strife thinking of all that I've left behind. Life begins again. Ambience of autumn elemental disorder a change in the water. Circled forever cling on to sorrow no more tomorrow. Ambience of autumn elemental disorder a change in the water. Cling on to sorrow, no more tomorrow, a world without a halo. Standing up right to prove that your alive, evolve your head to show that you survive. Stompin your feet to prove that you can fight and you can die. Changing your rights to fuck up your whole life, forcing your hand towards their sacrifice, evolve your head and prove that you can fight and you can die. -AMBIENCE OF AUTUMN

Remnants 05:46
Bred and burned discarded we've learned, forever lost in silence. Broke the glass removed the past, reveal to me your sicknesses. Our world transformed through fire returned, corrupted by your powers. Over your head we control, all that we see we shall own. Shaking our heads as we all run in dread as the things that we fake are reborn. All that we see we shall own. Shred the light red terror divine, purge the sinners and slaves. Deny accuse morbid abuse, discard your attempts to mislead us. Reflecting on the waters a human-like face, an omen of disorder an end for this race. Rise above the pain we love, of freedom we're reminded. Styled a lie to cover your eye. Slowly shaken, this age of man designed to fall. To filthly greedy cowards. Over your head we control, all that we see we shall own. Shaking our heads as we all run in dread as the things that we've faked are reborn. All that we see we shall own. Start the fight and never resign, waste will never betray. War we choose and on we lose, discard all attempts to mislead us. Burn the bridge and it all comes crashing down around our heads. Fuel for blood so red runs the tides attack the ancient remnants divide. Dont cure the ill eternally still make profit from a kingdom of corpses, you'll change your ways at the end of days. Bred and burned discarded we've learned, forever lost in silence. Broke the glass removed the past, reveal to me your sicknesses. Our world transformed to fire returned, corrupted by your powers. Reflecting on the waters a human-like face an omen of disorder an end for this race. - REMNANTS Lyrics by Michael Gee.

Experiment 07:29
Jump into the pit, come right this way dear sir the experiments begun. Step into the cage right here what damage has been done, injections will just numb the pain the same for everyone. Brain dead as always another reject cadaver be-gone! Throw them to the dogs! Wipe the smiles from your face, im disgusted and apalled at this place. Now you've come to face your fears, I knew this would all end in tears. The process or termination. We begin with slices, incisions to the bare flesh. Pulled open with tweezers, scalpels painting tissues and tongues. Wake him up his nightmare is done, anaesthetise another lucky one. Pick open the stitches and spill the ooze the god-given drugs, Infusion with the new test from a to be mutation we'll see. Deformation in the deep skin, a pattern reminiscent of the plague. Record the progress of degeneration and think of all the money we'll make. Selling out your own DNA his children have seen better fucking days. Do what you gotta do to remain calm and Do what you gotta do to remain sane and Do what you gotta do to remain if that possible that all. Beasts emerging from the shadowed halls, time reversing emulsifies us all. Tearing feeding on your putrid rotten flesh, pray on scarred knees that your end will be here quick. Creations eat the master and envelope on its rage, taste the venom you deserve for spitting in its face. Crawling up begin that last victims of the mess, pouring acid from its eyes and painful spit of bliss. Experimental abomination weaving webs of death, ive been saving all the best for last the sickest of the sick. She opened up her bloodied arms extended with a gift, here is my child ive bore he'll bring about Apocalypse! -EXPERIMENT lyrics by Michael Gee.

I die. Where will i go when i die? We'll i'll tell you where the hell i'd like to be. Where will i go when i die? I've entered the darkest place i've ever been, filled with fossils of my sins. Petrified i've risen well beyond my means, struck by the darkness holy light. Could these cave paintings be right? guide my hand to blade and march me off to die. Did my time in this earthly rubble, killed more men than i care to trouble. Feel this shrinking noose of guilt tied around my neck, i wage a war on myself. They've put me here in a cell, the padded walls feel like hell. If i was cured could they even tell. Right here in a frozen world, born to bleed just like me. Stand in line and wait to die, washed away on that dark day. Food for thought or so we thought, pissed away that bitter taste soldiers hands covered in wine. Who's to say they're out of line? Flash of red now your dead, face that facts your maker said. In the ground you keep your lies. Spread the ash in misbelief toss away your empty grief and one of these days we all must depart. What the hell are we fighting for? On and on the blackleaf grows, up and down in perfect rows. Symmetry is for the dead, know one knows how long we have left so. Right here in a frozen world, born to bleed just like me. Stand in line and wait to die, washed away on that dark day. Food for thought or so we thought, pissed away that bitter taste soldiers hands covered in wine. Who's to say they're out of line? Flash of red now your dead, face that facts your maker said. In the ground you keep your lies. Spread the ash in misbelief toss away your empty grief and one of these days we all must depart. Understand words are said deals are made and don't forget, you own the world but not your soul! The troubles we've had in taming your soul, i don't know where, where else i would go. My life has much to bare, my life is full of woe. The wrath of god they fear, and it has never shown and it will never show! Understand words are said deals are made and don't forget, you own the world but not your soul that belongs to the devils you know! I held his golden axe, lost in fields of blood i relapsed. Turned into this hate machine, murder killing raping. Held this gun up to my head, pulled the trigger as i am dead. Smoking barrels waved goodbye. I've entered the darkest place i've ever been, filled with fossils of my sins. Petrified i've risen we'll beyond my means, struck by the darkness holy light. Could these cave paintings be right? guide my hand to blade and march me off to die.
