Controls malfunction Eyes awake within narcosis The onslaught within the black abyss Trapped inside this mechanized tomb Designed for death Reclaimed subservience for the Federation Their domain will reign Eradicating the resistance Efficiently Galactic supremacy within our reach The primal essence of the kill Uninterrupted timeless flow Directing/persuading containment of my being Eliminate the enemy Set ablaze to these corpses Absolved them all/I am whole now we are one I slaughtered them all (Vocoder) Molecular compounds create a disengaged speculation Adrenaline depleted the onset of paranoia Cognizant perception decayed/degradation Fragmented contact useless, stranded Deserted isolation flooding every inch of me Hairs stand straight from the cold embrace of deep space Ghosts creep in with intentions of disturbing my focus Dragging down the acumen Power, consumed, clawing, tearing Wounds streaming black mist cloaked Brain begins to liquidate The vertex overheats Insight spirals oblivion Mind a blank with no ecstasy A barrage of anguish piercing toxins Deluge my vessel Silent suffocation Respire the burning flesh of the dead Silent suffocation I’m slowly shutting down (Vocoder) Commence introspection Condemned to these thoughts My mind takes wonder mind takes new shape Integrate Fear escalates Memories are nothing but a horrific cinema Trapped in this brain Must gather a sense of self Silent suffocation I'm slowly bleeding out This system has shut down Relinquish this fear Flowing eternal Drifting through this sea of flesh and metal Fall back relapse into The death beyond our perception Mirroring a shattered existence Pupils dilating shapes start shifting

Aired mind a chance to breath Observing eternally Signal transmission complete Assures me constantly (Vocoder) Now I Know Escape this place, these shapes Exhausted psyche, was not prepared for this. Feel the warmth rising Hyper connected activity My surrounding melt into me Distant form blurred and vague Vibrant ambience slowly fades To an adverse atmosphere Am I dead Neurological stimulation proceeded by Pressure relieved Eyes opened, It seems this life Has been synthesized Programmed for failure Then left to waste Progress from this being Reflections surrounding Desecrated the inner being, left abandoned for pseudo self Become the true self The signal’s increasing Blood is rushing/eyes are shifting Locate receiver Hypnotic pulsing pulling further Away the deconstruction of man I’ll escape this exoskeleton Feeling the void against/its over it’s useless The freeing vastness of dead space A lingering feel that I am god/beyond Our intellect withered, absent for years Could we Regain our proficiency of Cognitive ability surpassing average beings Is it distant Domains of this dream state Revering vastness Eternalize the metaphysical Onsets conceptual sleep The abundance of knowledge Of the human psyche The untapped potential Its been withheld from us all Carved away by the Federation To enslave To enslave all of you You’re all fucking slaves Epiphany, entangled in sonar embedded in me No escape from the crisis approaching So it seems the signal is coming from in my brain Its in my brain Portal opens before me so Blinding drifting into the void (Vocoder) Now float on,drifting away Soon you’ll see

Level 5 06:27
Visions of death, there’s no other way Resonate freely A window to the realm of infinite Consciously wasting away Pulled by the wave Of cosmic energy The entity transmits Vocoder: Breath in, Breath out (x2) It claims to be a being of trans-dimensional consciousness, expanding, contrasting Knowledge of me, the universal language Calling to me, crawling into my body wanting out Breath slowly now Dream slowly now Existence simulated, constructs manipulated Dissociate the mind of enslavement Corrupting/displacing balance of vitality Soaring bodies through space Wallowing incoherently Accepting conscious infinity Mind shifts knowing I’ll reign death from above No chance for survival Metamorphose complete The warmness restoring energy New mission unexposed The federation will be Dissolving I am coming

Centralized cognition inducing affirmation Obtained command of cerebellum Coordinates set omission of these vile transgressors impending Cut pass the Moon’s horizon Luminous Earth, trepidatious reception First line equipped and abled, target approaching at hypersonic velocity Native alliance now reflecting opposition Absurd deserter operating consciously A traitor, renegade caught within our mist Anticipated interference Battle system initiate Bombardment of photon beam artillery Fixed turrets accompanied by mecha troops Saber in hand i launch my malicious assault Carnage sustains regression (Vocoder) Insight discarded in pursuit of redemption Logic strains my nerves, examined routes But theres no alternate solution Enslavement has decayed their Impressionable mind, no remorse was felt God like/beyond god ticks eternal What an asset to function with pressure relieved Neutralize the black abyss Endorphins release, fatal damage binding My outcome Steadfast adversaries no intent to surrender Ignorance forgiven thought lethal tendencies, mobile troops depleted Buster rifle penetrates vengeance, obliterates battle station Dismay floods their earthly bound headquarters, dawn the blood red...

Ephemeral 06:55
Stern gaze descending this destitute planet Awaiting to be freed Locked onto the source of disorder Impenetrable defenses, weapons futile Final moments, reflection wash over me Abysmal epoch expiring (Vocoder) In an instant, all once known will be lost Dissolved by universal balance Corrosion among their minds, induced by fear Bloodshed for nothing, in the name of a false empire Clawing, ripping through my conscience One final act of carnage Ruination incarnate Balance has been sought Eradication of both evils A necessary sacrifice Embed their bodies into mine, go Plunging into the atmosphere True freedom embodying me Colliding into their headquarters I’ve been released I am whole, we are one

about

Ephemeral is a progressive metal concept album blending proggy death metal with psychedelic ambient breaks. This space epic flows seamlessly from track to track encompassing moments of sheer brutality with sections of pure euphoria. Lyrically, the album is about a mobile suit pilot who wakes up to a battlefield of dead enemies and allies. Our pilot has been left stranded and appears to be fatally wounded resulting in hallucinations and introspective thought. During this psychedelic trip, an epiphany occurs and action is taken to right the wrongs of the past before his inevitable demise.
