ECHIDNA LYRICS

1. Whispers

Noir and moments of change
Shadows swim in the lakes of chaos
As I redeem the hopes in my grasping hand
I feel my glacial prison quiver!
Questions? Swarming through my mind
These words descent from desolate realms
Seeking ways to reach my devastation

Forlorn I have foreseen the dark
Shall dwell in the fortress of past

Whispering n your ears
Holding the back of your neck
Judging their infinite lies
Tempting your self for the end
In my moments of faith
My aura kneels to embrace me
I subtracted life with my grasping hand
as I perceive my prison... Shatter!

Forlorn I have foreseen the dark
Shall dwell in the fortress of past
Forlorn I have foreseen the dark
Whispers in the dark

A window with no view
The Lies they told you were true
Their love gave birth to a spark
yet almost torn apart... Whispers in the dark

2. Political Sickness In D# Hijaz Kar

The images are all the same
A moving spiral that devours
All consciousness and truth
An altered state of mind
Experiment on mass hypnosis
Your own inescapable inertia!

Go on and spit your lies
Seduce / Provoke / Defile
Every precious truth...
a rosebud in your dangerous hands

Under a storm of information
Minds succumb to gradual possession
To be used and then reformed
A passive service for the "righteous"
A place for the void to rest
A means for the incapable... to rule!

Go on and spit your lies
Seduce / Provoke / Defile
Every precious truth...
a rosebud in your dangerous hands

Entertainment through torture
The infliction of psychosomatic pain
deifying every suspended solid
A basis for corruption to spread
A method to discard all guilt
A reason for the useless to exist

3. Grieving Silence

Defaced you stand
a single nobody in a mindless crowd
Surrounded by a system
where corruption triumphs
Here every suspended solid
rests on top of our affliction

Grieving silence
a lament to our own death!

Shut down your eyes and ears
protect them from the truth
Avoid reality to suit your pitiful life
An alliance of deception
a conformist masterplan!

Grieving silence
a lament to our own death!

Ignorance pawn
You care for nothing, but your self
Just for what prosperity demands
But you can smash their greed for power
Just open the mouth and speak out loud

4. Dogma Of Cain

Theories of superior existence
An ancient relic of human vanity
A trigger for abnormal social behaviour
Faith is a mind disease
An instrument of torture
Forcing man to suppress his own instincts

The nature of Cain
was the final design
for the creation of man
Lurking in the most secret paths
of the human subconscious
the Dogma of Cain

Faith in God killed the trust to man
As Cain did to his own brother
The best seller of cheap hope
In a sick bargain of life denial

The nature of Cain
was the final design
for the creation of man
Lurking in the most secret paths
of the human subconscious
the Dogma of Cain

and there...
within the silent vertigo of Babel's fall
Arose the fear for the uncertainty of demise
And upon it were built
churches and temples

The nature of Cain
was the final design
for the creation of man
Lurking in the most secret paths
of the human subconscious
the Dogma of Cain

5. Tractatus Cerebri Act I, To Be

[Intro]

6. Tractatus Cerebri Act II, Driven Into

Struggling upon the Threshold that leads from sanity to nightmare
Not knowing that your altered perception blackens the Freedom
Of your Terrible Mind
Of the very existence
you're fighting to deny

Haunted by murderous demons and guided by your own fears
You seek haven between the shadows of your true enemy

Of your only enemy
The one that lies
behind your frightful eyes

7. Tractatus Cerebri Act III, A Twisted State Of Mind

[Outro]

8. The Pendulum

What a marvelous beauty that is
That of an incomprehensible abyss
As astonishing as the sun,
yet so hideous in its vagueness

What an agony to exist
Balancing between matter and nihil
As simple as the feel of the wind
Yet vast like a cosmic ocean

How the subconscious is able to provide
A layer that severs perception from nothing
An amalgam of incoherent entities
that form the essence of life
Dwelling on the brink of void

In the shade of the eyelid
A scarlet shape crawls
Inside the eyes a projection
An organic machine
slowly molding reality

The pendulum demands
To cherish the relentless pace of time
Amidst eleven dimensions
Matter collapses to the glint of a moment

The failure of the abyss
It's inability to judge
beyond the terms of its likeness
Bound to its very being
An eagle untethered in its cage

Pondering upon the human potential
The social reflection of the abyss
Condemned to be biased against its own existence
Still meant to transcend its natural limits

In the shade of the eyelid
A scarlet shape crawls
Inside the eyes a projection
An organic machine
slowly molding reality

9. Human Serpent

An essence drawn beneath the surface
Coiled into human form a Human Serpent
Craved its form for human flesh
But still inside a rigid reptile

Until we die
force fed we swallow
a vicious way of living

Born from the seed of deception
Came this unexpected guest,
a human serpentine
Initiation to an eerie convention
The feelings unfaithful
and unable to feel the change

Until we die
force fed we swallow
a vicious way of living

No escape from materialistic frontiers
Now everything gets a whole new meaning
Hunted but still straw
Initiation and grinding infestation!

Encounters between those who stand for faith
As everything shatters,
blood gives a warm flow
Terror but nothing to fear
The thirst finally won the test
no hope to stand against

Until we die
force fed we swallow
a vicious way of living

Venomous serpentine and evil
outdated seals contain our ego!

10. In Fathomless Depths

In fathomless depths
There where logic dissolves
into the obscurity
of instinct-driven behaviour
One challenges oneself
to defy

From non-canonical patterns
Randomly picked from endless streams
Massive figures are formed to recreate
Facts that already exist
or not...

In fathomless depths
One's dreams are manufactured
One shall silently surrender to them
For dreams are the most
Kafkaesque manifestation
of oneself
