Three Eyes Open 01:19
lyrics
greetings, young Seer we are the serpentine emissaries of the Lord of Light and Music with three eyes open prepare to receive for your ecstasy and tragedy the gift and curse of prophecy We see: the Solar Lord imposes on thee! His offer is rebuked, and in his fury, he curses thee not to be believed! family scoffs, friends scorn, strangers sneer! Who is this anarchist, this lunatic, this heretic? the greatest city falls! Kings and Queens put to the sword! Legions of heathens slaughter the soldiers, raze the temples, rape the maidens, murder the children! a great warlord ravages thee! The Lady of War and Strategy weeps, but she will not help thee! be avenged young Seer, as Poseidon sunders the returning Legions! thou art spirited away to live as a concubine and a slave under the supreme tyrant of Mycenae! thou art, at last, slaughtered by the vengeful mate of the tyrant that enslaved thee!

Fortify 05:21
lyrics
now the prophet visualizes eyes receiving second sight the visionary path arises pave the way to Paradise now the omen crystalizes eyes remaining on the prize citizens of Earth delight a paradise to pacify gods protect me! power crackling in my veins I have the will I am the way I am sworn to do the will I am sworn to pay the bill I am sworn to find the well I am sworn to rend the veil all in good time… (time will grind us into dust) gods protect me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods project me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods infect me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods reject me! all in good time... (time will grind us into dust) gods protect me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods project me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods infect me! visualize in my mind’s eye a fortress I can fortify gods reject me!

Omen 05:00
lyrics
one eye opens the past is laid bare before all the trauma before the despair two eyes open I see the present scene unfolding around me in all its intricacies three eyes open wide the future speaks through me expanding in memory the spiral repeats woke up on the temple floor hallucination or dream surrounded by omens I’m not ready to see what do I see when the serpent slithers in my eye? what do I hear when the serpent whispers in my ear? I don’t want to see I don’t want to hear I don’t want to hear!

Empowerer 03:35
lyrics
you got a problem? I got the solution! you got the chaos? I got the control! you want a vision? I got the prediction you want a prophecy I got the precision I got the science and I got the method I got the knowledge and I got the power they got the junk but we got the jungle they got the jive but we got the supplies they got the lies but we got the riot they got the rot but we got the right I got the guns and I got the music I got the questions and I’ll do the accusing I got the violence and I’m gonna use it I got the power and I’m gonna abuse it we got the power! you can’t please all of the people, everywhere, all of the time you can’t fool ’em, at least not forever. so kick ’em down from where you climb! I got people in the highest of places who the hell are you to challenge my right? I am the sun imposing upon you I am the law of your decline I got the power and I got the power we got the power we got the power

A Vision 03:58
lyrics
buy track
the arrows fall the walls fall the ashes fall it all falls down the arrows fall the walls fall the ashes fall we all fall down now I see everything a vision comes to view though stricken with this fate I’m still free to choose push back against the grain in defiance of everything spit back into the rain spill out of the groove the arrows fall the walls fall the ashes fall we all fall down the napalm falls the cities fall the systems fall we all fall down now I see everything the vision is renewed, enflamed, with nothing to gain, and everything to lose bend back against the strain no wisdom without pain the grinning faces of the slain the vindictive one is loosed the arrows fall the walls fall the ashes fall it all falls down the napalm falls the cities fall the systems fall we all fall down all the walls will fall anon the walls of Troy will tumble down all the walls will fall anon the walls of Ego crumble on Phoebus refused an angry rebuke wandering the city they stare in disbelief legions of heathens rape, kill, and raze Ajax! Ajax! vengeance comes too late ships breaking in waves spirited away a concubine and a slave set free violently by a malicious mate

Cursed 04:13
lyrics
tending to the garden feeding from the trees serpent bites the monkey knowledge sets them free ravished in the temple a priestess on her knees the Sun God dares to taunt me see not, dear Athene I’m cursed! you’re cursed! we’re cursed! we’re all cursed! how, now, can I disagree when every world is there to see in every beat, in every rhyme, in all space; in every timeline cursed! cursed! we’re cursed! we’re cursed! I’m cursed! you’re cursed! we’re cursed! we’re all cursed! oh, fuck you, Apollo! forever in the shadows forever in the shade forever in the hate goddamn you, Athena! forever in the clouds forever out of reach forever turned from me! I’m cursed! you’re cursed! we’re cursed! we’re all cursed! labor in the garden toiling in the fields bear that bitter fruit there, honey spit that bitter seed cursed! cursed! we’re cursed! we’re cursed! I’m cursed! you’re cursed! we’re cursed! we’re all cursed!

Disbelief 04:50
lyrics
black is white and wrong is right and true is false up is down and left is right and this is fine! day is night and death is life and shit is gold dark is light and weak is strong and God is gone! (you don’t believe!) I see your faces all around me a vicious circle squaring off against me I try to tell you, but you will not hear you’re just staring staring in disbelief I walk among you in the city I feel estranged from my friends and family I’ve got a message to deliver it won’t be received and you’re just staring and you’re just staring at me I walk among you in the city a mob of miscreants here to mock me I’ve got a warning, a revelation revealed so why you staring? staring in disbelief love is lust and found is lost and boom is bust good is bad and joy is sad and sane is mad rage is calm and dumb is smart and war is art old is young and all is none and zero’s one I see your faces all around me a vicious circle squaring off against me I try to warn you but you will not listen to me so now I’m screaming screaming in disbelief now I’m screaming screaming in disbelief now I’m screaming screaming in disbelief I see your faces all around me a vicious circle squaring off against me I try to help you but you will not listen to me so now I’m screaming screaming in disbelief

Empty Eyes 02:39
lyrics
these empty eyes have seen enough to last a lifetime hark! can you hear the voices in the dark? what will be will be what is done is done the sight of blood and steel fills these empty eyes and what assails them comes as no surprise the impending cataclysm brings doom in infinite viewings the observer cannot alter the conclusion no matter what, she cannot accept this even as she reluctantly believes in all she has foreseen with empty eyes, she laments, “I cannot accept…” “I cannot accept” “I cannot…”

Cataclysm 07:04
lyrics
Leader of Journeys, deafen your ear Lord of the Sun, my destroyer! Lady of War, my destroyer! facing the Cataclysm embracing the Cataclysm what does it matter if they don’t believe me? the future’s here with no reprieve they took a gamble that I was deceiving or maybe stricken with insanity what was, is what’s coming, comes what is, is and all of you shall witness it so trust in your Fates, then they trust in their blades and all of you who witness this will have your pain to tell you how much truth I hit the battlefield is predetermined the cavalry is on the charge the infantry seek an opening the walls are crushed into dust the genocidophiles smile their violence running wild such legendary suffering lions feast on the gore of kings what was, is what’s coming, comes what is, is and none of you will live through this but while you’re dreaming of a fragile future it’s better just to let it go best to wait until you see than cling to a hope unseen Toy Boy of the Blood Whore provoked a thousand ships from distant shores cyborgs with spiritual sores attack with laser, gun, and sword Troy Boy of the Blood Whore mocked the Mycenaeans and started this uproar bracing for an act of war they have much to answer for slave’s throat now sick with sobs the soot of Troy cremates all joy lost love commemorates the fall and now she’s ruined them all the victors close the net of fate neither young nor old escapes all slain, enslaved no weapons but my eyes and heart stabbing shards of mirror sharp arcane migraine facing the Cataclysm embracing the Cataclysm bearing no indignities ’till spirit boils in bloody stream facing the Cataclysm harsh red winds of final days my words smash down on you in waves embracing the Cataclysm

Resolute 03:20
lyrics
lions and vultures feast on my home ancestral bones for carrion crows my eyes are my witness a city laid low contrite wiped out no afterglow for us lovers will quarrel and will come to blows trapped in a quadrangle love undertow crossing the threshold of Hell’s vertigo white-out widow will overthrow my life mourning bird sweetly dreadful doom-singing these eyes are empty perceiving black mercy mourning bird sweetly dreadful doom-singing seeing is believing and still you see nothing this is my resolution I’m resolute this is my execution still, I’m resolute

Eye Accept 04:06

I I accept this accept I accept this this I accept...
