Not in His Image 05:20
lyrics
buy track
False redeemer Impervious puppeteer Egotistical maniac Harvester of misery Swindler of souls Cut-off from Being Perpetual enslaver Self-serving beast Anomaly of creation In great dismay... Demented in denial A long-lasting agony The ultimate betrayal Impending catastrophe Hiding away in shadows Addicted to adoration Breeding confined beings Its own gratification Anomaly of creation Shepherd of the blind Mercenary redemption Deceiver of mankind Pretender on a throne... Anomaly of creation A moribund grimace Mercenary redemption We’re not in his image

Return Oath 05:56
lyrics
buy track
Darkness fell in a sweep slumber The past, no more than a bleary shadow A journey started, more akin to a war Transforming and becoming who I already was Heard deadly warnings all in vain “Few come back, many remain Enclosed in a wreath of time and pain” I chose to forget, I chose to dive Deeper and darker than most dare to realize A unique experience, carved in flesh A somber labyrinth to find oneself Immersed in dangerous forgetfulness Reclaiming my greatness - I will prevail! Deep enough to sunder the Lifeforce Dark enough to hinder your Essence Estrangement from the unifying Conscience Deep enough to test your Will Dark enough to deny your infinity Immoral surrender of manifested divinity “ha, so you ask What is the meaning of this experience To experience it is, no less An inside view on limitation The richness of life, the illusion of death Return unscathed after by dying last breath” “The pleasures and agonies of the flesh The grandeur of Being enclosed in an ephemeral body Lo and behold, limitation is a game Self-empowerment is to be attained” The sulphur aether numbs the mind During this glimpse of time existing in disguise Bear my words, I will survive I swear to return to my transcendent might A unique experience, carved in flesh A somber labyrinth to find oneself This is an oath to become to what is my birthright After courting my demise - I will prevail!

Behold the Starhold 05:08
lyrics

To be one with the void, at the point of no return - the abyss stares back Origins, vision and purpose - all blended in mindless abstraction A polarization of irreconcilable opposites Forbids the encounter of the still waters beyond the restless mind The complexities of an incarnated experience A sense of self tied to ego & body In a struggle for the daily existence A veil in which few can see through Wishing departure from the mundane continuance Cherishing in silence what lies behind This miserable reality presented to mankind... Descent from the heavens into a world of dense matter A momentary visit in a corner of this Cosmos of mine In company of the stars, the loneliness of the traveller As nature grows darker but life encounters a way to thrive From the abundance of infinity into a state of near oblivion The illusion of separation persists as the lifeforce feels inaccessible A collective hallucination, deceiving perception, hindered joy Misfit in society, breeding anxiety, is madness my only ally? Worn out from battle, deeply rattled, a prison without walls To be a lighthouse so the sleepwalkers cannot further fall The keepers of the keys to this cage gather in defiance Satan himself shares a scornful laughter - the prison of matter Even though we’re given the script of this insane play Will we ever be able to escape? Though our powers hold sway The deception runs deep but we sculpt our own way As above, so below - for these experiences were made for the bold Divine Eternal Timeless is our reign Unearthly Sovereignty Our strength is now unchained We’re not lost, we’re not forgotten We’re just taking the long way home

about

After a long hiatus, here's another manifestation of (my) unveiled truth; a snippet of unorthodox spirituality, a chant of a soul temporarily chained in a prison, a fist in the face of the Demiurge and its archonic minions. Inspired by the book of the same name by John Lamb Lash, this is an act of spiritual whistleblowing: this satanic planet is a prison, created in error, run by disconnected spiritual psychopaths through deception and ruse, who need your energy to survive.

"Not in His Image" is an act of spiritual defiance. Exercise your self-sovereign birthright in the Cosmos. Bow to no one!
