THE RAVEN AUTARCHY LYRICS

1. A Dead Cherry Blossom Tree

For so many years, the gate has been sealed
By five bloody ropes in a dungeon concealed
'Twas family duty to keep malice away
Until the unbroken attachment led to decay

She was the last to be tagged in the room
By the blinded demon
To the ancient stone she was dragged in gloom
Forever imprisoned

Throughout the cherry atrium
Love blooms sentenced to perish

The rope shrine maiden was purified
And her link with the world, brutally sliced

Her inner guilt couldn't stand her loss
The ritual failed, the malice is now, free

She has become a vindictive wraith
Every soul shall suffer the same fate
'Til the holy mirror seals back
The dreadful source, the hell gate

2. Kyomu

Stop this desperation, stop crawling away
I am your death, your endless decay
Stop deflecting, you know why I'm here
I can see through your lies, I am the seer

You try to escape from the void
But you are already caught inside

Tainted like my own dreams and desires
You will soon be infected to rot

Rationalizing events
Only delude your perception
You can't create reality
By the means of deception

You seek the complex pattern
To justify your corrupted senses

You are in denial
The veil of sorrow embraces this night
There is no meaning for you
No future can be seen
The tree is not designed
Kyomu awaits

Putrid and fierce disgust
Imprisons me

Time is the fire in which we all burn
(We burn) But only a few are conscious
To feel the pain (the pain)

3. The Whistleblower

Step into the asylum
As commanded by the unknown source
Restrain your freedom from lucidity

The rain intensifies
It almost feels like this place is crying for me

Death is on the hallways
The lifeless bodies strewn
The staff was obliterated
Dementia emancipates from the cells

Howls, the inmates roaming the grounds
Unpredictable moves as the boundaries are cut
"The Variants" start claiming the floors
As the impaled SWAT agent warns me to leave

I'm too deep to leave

I smell the stench
Of what used to be human
The fumes of mental decay
Disguise the final act

Between the body parts
I escape the doctor's shears
The elevator almost feels divine

Father Martin, I am not God
In flames you'll die while these minions watch
What's so pure about this lie
Your deluded cause will bury me in despair

Nanotechnology experiments
Cut out inmate Hope's life support

It almost feels like this place is crying for me

I smell the stench
Of what used to be human
The fumes of mental decay
Disguise the final act

4. The Obscene Deliverance

Unintended biological slaves
Under perceptual distortion

Unperceptive dull creations
Became too self aware
Tailors of subjective reality
They are no more than organic puppets
Once the strings are cut, all fall down

A dark and cold universe of sorrow
Under the immovable scythe

Accidental minions of greed
Through cognitive deficiency

You can see how the worthless flawed premises
Spin out in vain
Into a tangled web of delusive conclusions

I am the obscenity
I've come to consume you

5. Obsidian Eyes

In the darkest workshop corner it lies
Designed perfection with breath-taking eyes
Where the light avoids touching the wooden floor
Artificial terror in angelic guise

Her pallid and soft skin
Seduces your will to caress
Like the fullest glittering moon
On a pitch-black sky

Your heart will wither
Until you crawl in despair

Sad and gone, you see yourself reflected
In her ghoulish and abysmal stare
The most delicate and tender doll
As she drains your decrepit soul

The hollow creation
Was built to devour
All the lifeless victims that fall
Under her vicious power

Her pallid and soft skin
Seduces your will to caress
Like the fullest glittering moon
On a pitch-black sky

Your heart will wither
Until you crawl in despair

Sad and gone, you see yourself reflected
In her ghoulish and abysmal stare
The most delicate and tender doll
As she drains your decrepit soul

6. Counterintuitive

[feat. Uriel Claro]

We were built as the essential course of life. Wandering in this together until they decided to live in a denied harmony to never be the same.

Now my eyes are blocked by the vengeance because I have realized I'm the product of a masterpiece.
My eyes are blocked by the vengeance, I have realized I am the product of a masterpiece.

Biological strings expand within to destroy your preservation laws.
Drawn lines from above blacken the sun.
Redefining the notion of 'possible'

I'm the counterintuitive universe.
I'm the onset of an evolution frame.
Find what you fear, there is nothing above me. I'm the collapse.
Let me wake up!
Malice drags me into life,
Let me wake up!
Violence is taking my soul,
Violence is taking my soul,
The beam of light is back between us.

The power to convert the nature of perception is in my hands, I will ignore this war! We are a fraction of the only unified womb, we are the womb..

This hunger to eviscerate a world is beyond revenge. I'm inside to infect everything, there is no escape.
I can't go back! I can't even stop!
I can't go back! I can't even stop!

Biological strings expand within to destroy your preservation laws.
Drawn lines from above blacken the sun.
Redefining the notion of 'possible'!

Infect the world!

I came to destroy you
I'll show you the collapse inside your world
Let me wake up!
Drag me into life!!!

7. Engineered Consciousness

"Restore the power Mandus, drain the flooding and restart the great engines."
"How?"
"Where should I go?"
"Hello..."
"Hello?"

I'm finally awake
Too many months of this baneful fever
Surrounded by frozen furniture
What caused this?

What are these haunted voices
They sound so familiar
Like I've heard them so many times

Leading me to inner chambers
I must discover the eternal source

Engineered consciousness
Automates mass sacrifices
Two hearts of innocence
Give life to awe

Follow the lead through the odious steam
As all the bloody pistons dance

The rusty gears are spinning
Deformed swine-like monstrosities
Patrol the depths
As I descend through the wicked modules
Millions of squeals shriek for new resources

Leading me to inner chambers
Why did you lie about my children
Lost control as I descended
I've been betrayed by my own creation

Engineered consciousness
Automates mass sacrifices
Two hearts of innocence
Give life to awe

I remember everything
The oracle predicted the end
I built this bionic terror
To save humanity from its own carnage
