HIBAKUSHA LYRICS

1. Kowloon

I built the sky for you

Unaware passengers strangers in this place
Defined by ignorance they look away

This is the city built on broken backs and bruised skin
We are the creators but don't even know

Grand device fueled by tears
It's about to break this is the price
Greased by sweat near to fall
Take a breath and burn them all

Lost consciousness along the way
As the sun is fading the sky turns grey
It does not matter take my hand give in to these aeons
From the path we will stray

Ancient city artificial life
We are drones
What does the world revolve around
What does it revolve around
Not around you
This world is not about you

I built the sky for you

2. Prophet of Numbers

This isn't what we had in mind who's to blame?
Levitating on false promises lost control
I thought I warned you
Warned you stay true
Paralysis a consequence you'll soon learn
For intentions for my gain but who's to blame?

Life synthesized within the boundaries of our own imagination
We gently lay to rest all that remains
Our words our prayers mere whispers floating in the wind
Honesty and truth still run through these veins

Remember me by these words
The midnight in your soul growing colder and colder

Weightless he sailed on and on and on and on hoping to find his long lost brother
A final look to that western sky wishing once more he could turn back time
I forgive you please forgive me

Remember me by these words
The midnight in your soul growing colder and colder
When the tide is highest we meet again
We sing for solace standing shoulder to shoulder

This isn't what we had in mind who's to blame?
Levitating on false promises but who's to blame?

Warning

3. Frequently Vile

Floating on the dark sea of disparity
You meet the faceless storm
Transcending my dependencies
Infecting and polluting

Crumbling midnight sky
Clouds gather intertwining morals
For my gain deconstructing
Soon your last breath will be exhaled

No it will not matter how often I recall the tragedy
Your constellation
No it will not matter how many lies we spread
Provides no consolation

Addicted to manipulation
Delusion fills my veins
All around falls into examinate illusory

I become a black hole consuming
Reaping and devouring
Insatiable void

Abusing their fragility
The body imprisoned by the mind
Suffering afflictions
I take what is now mine

Seek out the weak the sick and the foolish
Their insignificance holds their value
My life's blood

4. Wanderers

[Instrumental]

5. Entropy

And I fade away
I break away
In entropy

Sticks and stones broken bones
Rhymes in our head
Curses scar my own mind forever

We smashed all the things we thought we used to be

Shattered thrown away
Remembered for not a day
Forgotten abandoned exiled
Left in the ruins of decay

6. The Famous Negative

Luminiferous aether deludes intelligence
Winds of light block out the sun while time slows down

Calculations draw the lines of your perspective

Bringing tranquility exchanging wisdom
I raise my fist to stand this ground forevermore

I walk the walk of giants a journey to behold
This is a world of tyrants our future is foretold

Follow me into the night embrace the light

Famous singing shameless living aimless
Bleeding into painless thinking nameless
Blame us weightless faceless

I walk the walk of giants a journey to behold
This is a world of tyrants our future is foretold
Now I am liberated chains broken set me free
Show me my prejudice now washed ashore

Sensory deprivation
Awoken into mud

I walk the walk of giants a journey to behold
This is a world of tyrants our future is foretold
We are now liberated chains broken set us free
Show us our prejudice now washed ashore

Sensory deprivation
Awoken into mud
Bringing tranquility
Exchanging wisdom

7. Fractals

After the storm a breeze softly brushes my cheek silence
Soothing warmth tells me all I need to know

What was all of this meant to be?
Now was this what you had in mind?

Delusional by design

All this time I was trapped in these fractals
Black dead smoke has now cleared so it seems all show

Follow me down

After the rain
I finally feel sane
It all starts with me
This is how it will be
And after the fire
Your lies will expire
There's things you cannot amend
But this is how it will end
Read my lips word by word
My story will not go unheard
Broken loose from the hive
Now I feel so alive

8. Chasm

Day and night what a difference it makes
To not be able to hear herself
Thoughts coagulated in nothingness
Self aware but trapped by her own will

Creating and destroying simultaneously
Architect of her own downfall

Poisonous illusion dangerous delusion
Swim up to the surface
I'll be waiting for you

Architect of her own downfall

Tracing back all the things that you said
Where did it all go wrong?
Deep down in your heart you really know
Come back to me

"Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
[Dune by Frank Herbert, 1965]

Vicarious redemption through cognitive dissonance

Poisonous illusion dangerous delusion
Swim up to the surface
I'll be waiting for you

9. Infrequently Vile

Malevolence callousness disregard for morality
Your desperation in tune with my imperfections
Revolution inside my head

Flow of life's blood meandering through flesh
Eroding my disregard for morality
My heart frozen melting the core bright light

My eyes wide open I still can't see the sun
My cries unfrozen an omen to this world
Black smoke fills my lungs suffocating
Dive down in fallout set it down in stone
My knees a cold floor existential bliss
Whispers breath whither is all this even real
Embrace submission suffer consequence
My dear what have I become

Your hand in mine soft lips cold skin
Your grip fading slowly slips away

Years passing by me memories never left
First light of daybreak tearing down these walls
Remorse has left me show me what can be
Is this world my enemy

You're exactly what I aspired to be
I have become that which you've always despised
Newborn icon of psychopaths

No matter how hard nothing left but pain
No matter how long all will be in vain

Malevolence callousness devil inside of me
Your adoration cures insanity

"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."
[Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan, 1994]

Unleash the torrential downpour
Punishment make me suffer
Purify this callous heart
Lead me to redemption

10. Mundus Vult Decipi

[Instrumental]
