ARKAIK LYRICS

1. Risen

[Instrumental]

2. From The Void

3. Digital Shroud

Held captive in plain sight
The reflection of blinded silence
Held captive in mounting dread
A depiction of touting violence

No escape from inside their heads
The dilemma now becoming blinded locked in
to a brand new shining prison
Khaal-­Li­-Phar claiming himself supreme
behind the curtain the maestro of this machine

The false reality generated by hate
Perceptual slavery, we take the bait
Staring into the maze, the hall of mirrors
Cold deception a tourniquet of rage and fear

Asleep catatonic they stagger to their demise
Installed into their minds, these chains disguised as time
Pulling them further, binding them to a pyre of lies
A cybernetic playground, tear out your eyes
Replace them with the buzzing of flies

To mask the wounds, to feel alive
Bleak handed absence sold as the next new distraction
The claws that held the seams of astral realms
Forgotten, stolen was the numinous
Forbidden were their dreams

The fleshwalkers stand as prison guards
Khaal-Li-Phar as the warden
Once the cage was sealed
The nano­verse locked in
The era of diversion had begun

Malevolent masters staked their claim
The tyrant stood upon all he created
Determined to punish all, all that he hated

Enslave the masses with deceptive powers
Holding terror in vein
Frenzied, wide eyed and feral
It felt too late, but the time was of the essence
Final hour

4. That Which Lies Hidden

Hidden from the talons of madness, the knowledge of which none speak.
Laying buried beneath her caves, below exalted, misted peaks.
The mineral hold of stalagmite and vine, long since kept in crisp darkness.
A stasis of warm dream-woven delight, the light of an eternal flame resting silently above her.
Wheels within wheels, the real flower of life was revealed, bedded in wild amethyst.
She sought refuge abroad, a phantom perched in stillness, held by the web of Aetherion.
As the waves of cosmos she rode.
The flame danced ethereal, at one yet infinite.
Pitched to the pulse upon the walls, a static flow.
Her return of ages beyond time, outside the chains that sought to banish her face.
Before these suns can rise, before the rising tides, he must awaken inside.
That which is timeless beyond conception.
Change will sweep barren into an open invitation for a lush new energy.
A brisk vibration shall be the prism, the first spark of the new golden dawn.
Piercing through the hollow of this deadlong night, the anima will rise.

5. Awaken The I

Emerging from the parallels of untethered dichotomy.
Seeing what has been wrought in the land of the forsaken, a lecherous existence.
Bathed in living blasphemy, sitting wide-eyed in the dark. Perpetual denial.
Now purpose reached its firm grip towards Cyrix.
The shadow had awakened within a profound knowing.
All was not lost, but no one seemed to notice, we were hooked.
Through dredges and sold to the slaughter.
There was no more denial to drag around, like a comforting corpse.
The calamity of existence pulled at his mind like feral claws.
The time is now, the end is nigh. To crash and burn or to awaken and fly.
Ringing in his ears, the voice of reason chanted its trance-inducing hymns.
Collaboration can lead to a tidal wave of freedom.
Tear off the shackles of the weak. Knowledge is the key, wisdom is power.
Let the mind bloom, take back what is ours. The machinery of existence sparked for new creation.
The time is now, the end is nigh. To crash and burn or to awaken and fly.
Courage and will, nothing can take, no master’s dark bidding deserves us as slaves.
Once awakened, you can't go back to sleep. Apathy only aids in self-deception.
Freedom pursued is the only chance, a new era aligned.
Take flight like the feathered serpent, soaring in the sky.
Rooted in the ground, the middle path is laid, the journey profound.

6. Fleshwalkers

Shamans of the dark elite
Shape shifting wretched fumes
Controlling insomniatic fleets
Demiurge rotting all
Making life a living grave
Raining on the freewill
of the slaves
Chained to mortal ties,
forbidden inner wealth
The holders of the veil
Blindly kneeling to the tyrant
Ever present, always silent
Swift as knives, dark as ash
Gatekeepers in heavy scourge
An army omnipresent,
catatonic masses
A culling on the masters strings
Do speak of them and
their disguise
His legion keeps
the prison intact
Spiraling degradation
Morphing malevolent
creature force
A trampling stampede
upon their minds a bleak
prison of descent
A psychic will,
The force that binds
A shadow moon blood sacrifice
His army of dark magis,
Spells cast in hatreds tongue
If you don't know who you are
You won't know
What you've become
Held in place by black magic
Blind the shatters reach
Fractured and kept in blackness
Words disaster speaks
Without knowledge
Of higher planes
Robbed of our true knowing
To be fed on by the tyrant
Wasted and broken

7. Fusion Of Epochs

A gazing prism laced in dreams and
Piercing the light,
Stead fast holding
I stood closely
Watching her eyes burning
As bright as the sun, before this
Eternal night had just begun
Calling out for a union,
Inner schism of centuries ago
You are the temple of life made flesh
An hourglass ocean of currents
A careening galaxy of diamond
In the absence of time
Her choirs, her hymns, her sine waves
Rattling the spine of the godhead
Initiated from slumber
I sought of this goddess
No longer torn asunder,
Unified from lost depths
A breath to the life blood
The goddess unveiled
Pulling from the source field
Tasting vast vistas of the unknown
You are the temple of life made flesh
An hourglass ocean of currents
Birthing corridors of cosmic psalms
She levitated silently
A breathing angelic rapture
To lift the veil
A fusion of epochs, a vibrational
Merging of the will of unity
The true test stands waiting
Overcome the living prison
Overthrow the subjugation
The tyrants will wither and fall
The fire consuming
Her heart, her fate, your soul

8. Lucid Dawn

Galactic consummation aligned in cosmic cycles
Entheogenesis has begun
Spirit reaching for elevation
New pathways to find freedom

Reenergizing the vital life force
On to the next spiral we are flung
Bridging the mind gap
Connected to the cosmos

All timelines converging ever onward
Gateways to starseed evolution
The story of the eons
Encoded within our being

Approaching the lucid dawn
Illuminating visions taken down the spiral beyond
Breathing this sacred pulse and bursting at the seems, pulled into the waking dream
Engulfing, decaying, lucid inner revolution

The truth of which few have seen
Now emerging from the ether
Hear, the answering is realized
She stares with glinting eyes as each unique reflection taps into the immortal mind

The illusion of all opposites now coming undone
Feeling the touch of the Dream as it exists on all dimensions, finding it's truly in our nature to overcome this oppression
To break this hypnotic deception
The story of the eons encoded within our being

Approaching the lucid dawn
Illuminating visions, the keepers of our destiny
Now all the walls coming down
Tearing the pages of decay

Facing the beasts of burden
Merging light into the hollowed piercing through into the shadow
The illusion of all opposites now coming undone."

9. Conjuring

Strapped to a tomb of fear and loathing
Engraved upon the eulogy of dying sons
A black demiurge cackles hysteric
The voice of fear and failure
The catalyst of lessons
Courage is the light that shines through
past life repressions
Have faith weary travelers
For the time have come to prevail
One must walk through
The enigma of embers
To burn through the veil
I've been through a saga of dimensions
I've sailed through vivid dreams
Through realms holographic
I've cut quantum spirals to their seams
Call forth the siren song
of indigo aura tracings
Feel the pulse of evolutionary onset
A call to arms this holotropic process
Collective clockwork
The return of the binary sun
The great epoch held in
The hands of the eons
The undertow of a new
Cycle has approached us
Fears collapse and mirrors
Elapsing on the ALL
We knew in chaos
We would flourish
From the mortal coil
The power within you is
Vast and expansive
The cyber cage
Begins to unravel
Scattered at the feet of
Archetypes lay binding
Shackled fragments

10. Temple Aflame
