Haruspex 02:48
lyrics
World is everything that is the case Cold and vast and unknowable place Eyes to the sky; what do you see Pyres of ancient memories Peel apart your mind Take a look inside Confront your own abyss Take stock of what's amiss Space inside is greater Than the one above your head Infinitude of thoughts Burden that can never be shed Pinhole visions Look within Arcane secrets older than time Eden's appleseeds locked therein Symbols beyond division Above reason Walk across the razor's edge Shatter the vessel; the order is beaten Step of a reality scale Insight of a hen's entrails Formless gestures, empty words Pictures of logic and the Rule of Thirds Stay silent if you cannot speak Truth and insight you choose to seek They're elusive, they're unknown Can be pointed to but never be shown Shine a light in the dark Words won't find their mark Life in the next; not in the now Won't be enslaved by a golden cow Inculcate the codes Ineluctable modes Bled from the throat Green sash, black cloak Truth is just a word Your knowledge is absurd No shape, no size I live; body dies Empire of One Fatherless son Anchored to flesh Gravity, sensation As the pieces are replaced Memory in logical space Bone-dwelling omens are effaced Extension beyond the plane Self-knowledge is profaned Our failure's in the blood Borne within us since the flood Chained to modality You'll never touch reality.

Old Croghan Man 03:41
lyrics
Ancient king, husband of Danu His reign is over; the soils are barren Bound with hazel, axed in the head The king dethroned in this life and the next Cruel winter; we've angered the goddess The king has failed, forgotten his promise Rend his bosom, perform the rite Sever his body in three strikes Mired in blood and shame To ease your kinsmen's pain Cast in sacred earth Where there is death there is rebirth.

Know Again 02:43
lyrics
Redeeming the time, days of evil Shepherd ascends, borne by an eagle Written in stone, eroded by years In springs and wheels and gears Transmuting sin and forging grace Reaching the pure from thoughts debased Houses of truth, bricks of lies Salvation's disguise Golden hours, diamond minutes Two white bulls point to the limits Moments copied, faked and feigned Know thyself again Rank, file, cheats, liars Imprinting vistas with our desires Sun is buried, then disinterred Kingship conferred Buying all that cannot be touched Empty ideas serve as a crutch Fetish strangles its disciples Poisonous idols Recognition shrouded in doubt Pray for storms, murder a drought Been here before and I will return Choke on a gyre until I learn Know thyself again.

Hounds 02:20
lyrics
As we approach the new dawn of the singularity Wonder if my mind's gonna last forever In Spiritus Mundi Hound of the ether slouches towards us Bloody fangs of change Gestate in mechanical wombs Our spheres rearranged Digital metamorphosis of biological life Swept into a world of binary Genetic codes transcribed Cast off the old flesh Commune with the hive mind Dive into the digital soup And leave your body behind Pure water touching clear sky I don't want to be consumed In the rise of machines Rather take a knife to my wrist Than become a machine The reign of the artilects Is here to stay It's the only way To new gods we pray, to keep the hounds at bay.

Prima Materia 06:08
lyrics
Loaded up on a crate of booze Got nothing, nothing to lose The scales weighted to one side Kill myself just to feel alive Sign on the dotted line Puking blood and tonic wine Dealer's wrapped in a wizard's cloak Subdue me in a plume of smoke First matter smeared on my gums Senses crumble; my mind succumbs Chaos in the instant Escape from the prison Bestow power; give a name Chemicals cheating the brain Pop a molly to numb the pain Embrace the nothing in my veins Drugs in my piss calcified Metabolites in glaciers of ice Along the way something got sucked in Formula etched under my skin Bird with broken eggs inside The first matter never subsides First matter smeared on my gums Senses crumble; mind succumbs First matter, I'm narcotised Kill myself, feel alive First matter, touch the sublime There's residue left behind First matter, tipping the scale The equation's destined to fail Beers, wines, spirits Unwind my spirit Searching for a fix But something always sticks.
