1.	The Void 07:55	lyrics	buy track
We feel the void... Fading light and I stare into the sky The endless black surrounds a heartless star Our senses smell the pest of worlds afar The stench of tech imprisoning all their life We feel the void We sense corruption We have an enemy Infesting our cells In his chest The beating sound has gone It was replaced by a soulless piece of junk There is no life no creature in that shell it was not raised, it never learned We feel the void We sense corruption We have an enemy Infesting our cells We need to clean our arteries We need to neutralize the virus He will destroy the world we know We need to neutralize the virus We feel the void We sense corruption We have an enemy Infesting our cells
2.	Feeding Territory 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Tear its shell apart and feast on what's inside the sturdiest husk fails to stand against the claw we'll expose the weaklings body by poisonous spit and fangs corroding and dissolving the shell that holds the flesh Destroy the carapace Destroy the body Eat its flesh Eat its power Neutralize the virus The alien in our veins Find its weakest part And grind it to grains Use your teeth, my children, your claws, fangs and stings: you do it for the swarm, your unified queen and kings. A storm of twirling tentacles will rain down on your head after that a garden full of teeth prepares your death An earthquake's worth of hoofs will stomp you down into the mud Your carcass will be liquified and fed to hungry grubs Destroy the carapace Destroy the body Eat its flesh Eat its power Neutralize the virus The alien in our veins Find its weakest part And grind it to grains Use your teeth, my children, your claws, fangs and stings: you do it for the swarm, your unified queen and kings.
3.	The Infinity Room 11:10	lyrics	buy track
Fall into the hole and watch your scenes corrupted by a simple fang injection decomposing the one you love You made the mistake Set your foot into our kingdom For this you will suffer Like we're doing from you You went through a door into our star system you will find yourself surrounded by the void A thousand blinking suns and flares between withering nebula; in the middle you're stranded, empty like the void itself Can you trust your eyes? Do you believe them? All this is happening You're floating away You went through a door into our star system you will find yourself surrounded by the void A thousand blinking suns and flares between withering nebula; take a last look at the stars, in a few moments you will die The life is running out your wounds We're draining all that's left of you Beginning with your faith ending with your hope We locked you into the inside of your own head when you were eaten by the cave The stars will form pictures of your greatest fears you won't survive it; nothing does You went through a door into our star system you will find yourself surrounded by the void A thousand blinking suns and flares between withering nebula; in the middle you're stranded, empty like the void itself Take a last look at the stars and the fading nebula surrounded by the void in the... Infinity Room
4.	Desperate Measures 05:03	lyrics	buy track
The thing invaded our body cutting flesh and intestines it made us blind it made us numb it made us deaf it made us cold The thing burned our heart to ashes It sliced through our synapses Defenses Up! We must prevent it from erasing our existence This is a call to the unpleasant, desperate measures; a call we never thought we'd make There's only pain and the feel of slowly dying cold and knowing we sense the words "it's over" we must devour it the beast inside our body solve it in acid then give it to the waters The thing will take us down like a senseless virus it will never stop and leave we just hope to barely survive Defenses Up! We must prevent it from erasing our existence This is a call to the unpleasant, desperate measures; a call we never thought we'd make Defenses Up! We must prevent it from erasing our existence This is a call to the unpleasant, desperate measures; a call we never thought we'd make
5.	Purification 08:31	lyrics	buy track
Look what made its way; what is it waiting for? We will accept our fate, since there's nothing we can do. It won't hesitate May it throw its might against us bring the light that burns the filthy flesh off of our bones Will it save itself? When it sends us back into the endless black, devoid of stars and dreams How come the way back to nothingness leads through the fire into the dark the holy flame lights up the path while our eyes begin to close There is a play taking place behind the curtain all while it's blind to see the wold surrounding it It's staying here forever on stage eventually the audience leaves and the void will take its place Does it really think it's fighting the end boss, o an island in the middle of the sea of stars? The point's been made, there's really nothing to fight,all what's left is your mind playing tricks on you. We feel the end We sense the darkness The hunt is over, the fittest may survive Destroy our body Destroy our last free thought Burn the tumors From our bones We take a last look at the stars Before we fade into the dark We've seen the virus win We've seen our time has come We feel the void...
