Lyrics: Twenty weeks Five months at sea Fading Sun I dare not see Pouring rain and weeping mud 'Neath the waves my kin, my blood All are lost to Death's release Now I'm alone at Promontory Peak
From the album, "Nihilum"
LYRICS:
Buried beneath layers of inherent darkness and masked by deception and villainy, the truth can only shine so bright. It is naive to think truth can be self-evident. It is pride that thinks as much, and pride is the blood-kin of falsehood.
End the lies!
No one can be led to the truth by the efforts of another, nor can the truth be obvious even to the inquiring mind. So inclined, the inquisitive seeker can only hope to tear away so many layers before the limits of mortality and of the human condition hold them back.
End the lies!
The very act of revelation is destruction. To come face to face with the startling realization that one has been living a lie is a channel so dark that to wade its waters, only an experienced swimmer can hope to survive when the riptide carries one away.
You can be sure of one thing: few who tread this path come immediately into light. The truth lay buried in filth, crusted in lies and misunderstandings.
End the lies!
If today the truth were broken over the dinner plate of this lost culture, its crumbs would spread over the delicacies of deception sown throughout time. Such a spoiling would most certainly lead to violence the likes of which this world has never seen. The outpouring of wrath would shake the foundations of the Earth as thieves and murderers plunder the wealth of uncertainty in the days following.
Lies!
Bring the truth to light.
It is this realm into which the greatest tyrant to ever live will be born. Upon the shoulders of desperation and sped along by hands wreathed in shadows deeper than the reaches of space, this figurehead will be ushered to seat himself at the throne of humanity. "King, king," will the world plead in unison, "none like you have ever lived! Save us from our demons!"
And demons will he employ to bring all nations to their knees. These umbral soldiers will bring terrors untold upon his enemies, and both the great and small alike will sing his praises to the melody of depravity and the cadence of the grave.
Thus will the cycle complete, and the world which so soon prior shunned lies will forsake the truth.
The darkness is inevitable. For this reason, I beg of you: embrace the truth, no matter its dimness or the brevity of your existence. But do not turn a blind eye to the shadows, for they creep in even now.
Bring the truth to light?
A medley of themes from the game "Super Metroid" remixed. Threw it together in a day.
Primary themes are "Red Soil Crateria" and "Title" with motifs from one or two others.
From the album "Nihilum"
Lyrics below:
Nihilum
Noun. Latin.
Definition one:
Nothing
A word as overlooked as its meaning.
In the absence of all things,
a man's character comes to test.
When he faces the void, he is truly staring into himself.
There is no cave darker than one in which you stumble alone,
and there is no greater sense of abandonment
than one encountered in the void.
For you can certainly taste the loneliness of the soul surrounded by the din,
but when you are robbed of your senses, of time, of all your belongings,
you become who you truly are.
Definition two:
of no value
We live in a world of constantly fluctuating values.
A plot of land has potential,
but if that plot of land lay astride a demilitarized zone,
poisoned by toxic waste and rivers of blood,
it is all but worthless.
Yet even this land holds greater value than a man.
A human being, no matter his age, is a vessel of doubt and potential!
To assay one's value to others, one must look no further than our culture.
In fifteen minutes, your fame can explode.
The next day, your life can lay in ruin.
The eyes of every human can judge your quality
simply by observing a few seconds of your weakest moment.
Plainly, in the eyes of the world you have no intrinsic value.
As a child, your purpose is to serve the will of the State.
Learn the lies, one at a time, and embody their teachings.
Alter the fabric of your being down to the molecular level,
then spread this bilge to the ends of the Earth.
By adulthood, you have acclimated to your purpose in life: to consume.
Serve the will of the elite. Buy until you cannot afford to live,
then borrow to buy some more.
Make someone else rich until you are too weary to think.
Dull your mind with alcohol or drugs. Become hopelessly addicted to something.
Grow more children, but not your own food.
You must be dependent on your overlords and pay them your dues.
These fines do not support a State in service to the citizens.
Rather, they enrich thieves and liars who engage in thuggery and betrayal
to keep you consuming.
When the day comes that a stiff breeze knocks over this house of cards,
and believe me, this day will soon come,
these crooks will retreat into their bunkers, leaving us all to fight each other with sticks and stones.
By old age, we are used up and no longer capable of producing.
We are discarded to the streets or cast into end-of-life wards.
These so-called nursing homes are run by tired people and the mentally unstable.
Visited only by pain in the twilight of our days, this is when every person looks
into the void.
But to be at the mercy of another while locked away in a room with a television
is to have the void
stare back at you.
