Do you think that we’re just software?
Is it all that we are?
Or could we be self aware?
When our insight got us this far
The thin veneer of this society
Ruled by private tyrannies
A lie for primitive hypocrisy!
The End of Everything
Does it tend to any meaning?
Axioms, through us, sing
What road will I take?
What will my choices bring?
Are we slaves to pre-history?
Would you question the hegemony?
Technology from evolution
A future derived from competing impressions
The architects of power congregate
They fail so they can alienate
A stasis is what they perpetuate!

Life is an eternal war
I weep for the world
For I know what’s to come
Narrating your nations history
Fighting over trivial shit
Pull yourself out of the morass
Because none of it matters.
You think you do know better
Though you really do know less
Lets cast aside the posturing aside for awhile
And get back to basics
In your fucking mind
We’ve all got to act and think the same
Go ahead and pursue an imperial cause
Use the legal system as your weapon
You robbed us of our future
But every action has its consequence
One law for you
Another for them
Don’t expect us
To take you seriously
We’re staring down the barrel
Of an apocalypse
Build your weapon stockpiles for Armeggedon
I reject your society
I reject your self serving laws
I’ll make your privilege my entitlement
They’d rather see the world burn
Than live in a new one
Go ahead and pursue an imperial cause
If you think it’ll make you feel better
You robbed us of our own future
But every action has its consequence
You are invited
To the end of the world
This song is for all you people out there
The face of justice wears two masks
Each generation of autocrats
Thinks that they’re the exception
I have seen the true face of your government
And it is that which they couldn’t stand to see in themselves
A gluttony of oligarchs have taken control
You think you know where all the pieces will fall
Well you better think again
You better think again
You robbed us of our future
You built this citadel of sorrow
Do we choose how to react?
Every action has a consequence.

We look into the mirror,
Shows us what we want to see
The architects are self deceived
Mocking the principles which they profess to believe
Always taking more than you give
False dawns you instill
So self assured
The product of what is past
Words fail us
Nothing to say
Better think fast
Evolving,
Choice Determined
Writing our own paths through history
Enthralling
Undiscovered possibilities of existence
Ten years ago, a different world
And one that I seem to miss
I look up to the road ahead
And see the unknowns and the promise
Ennegrams are unified
What I experience now, years before
Feel the question of why am I?
Fly like a photon through the universe

Leviathan, this is the song of woe
Leviathan, I am calling you
You ask the meaning of meaning
Could have sworn you asked me before
You arbitrate over nothing
And chase phantasms of truth
I wander alone with wraiths by my side
We parted ways to see what we could find
Burdened with regret through these plains I ride
Of sanctuary I am forever denied.
Leviathan, this is the song of woe
Leviathan, I am calling you
My question is ambiguously parsed
So you can derive two answers
In a world of improbability
The improbable becomes probable
I asked these same questions far back in the past
I cannot comprehend the world, its moving too fast
Years later I walk down this very same road
The new world is rising from the ruins of the old
Leviathan, this is the song of woe
Leviathan, I am calling you
I have walked this road thousands of years ago
With memories that were not my own
Questions often go unanswered
He had cast out the malifecarum
The witch whispered a secret spell
Casting flames fuelled by the ichor of hell
Leviathan, this is the song of woe!
I was here once a long time ago!
I sailed upon Athena’s wings
Across the starry seas
To battle ancient gods
For a greater destiny
Leviathan! No longer a song of woe!!!

Secret club, secret club,
Looking down on high at the sheeple
While you sing icons
Don’t know where I’m going or where I’m from
I’m the piece that won’t fit, the piece that won’t fit!
Distintegrate, and recreate,
I want to see the fiefdoms go up in flames
Go up in flames!
Going crazy,
Think I’m going crazy,
Because they’re listening to my thoughts
They’re stealing my thoughts!
Escape Velocity
Let these limitations drain away
Pride or Ambition, all I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing up new vistas on this temporal road
Fortify, unify,
A tranquil respite from the storm outside,
The storm outside!
Profit of dreams,
Profits from doom,
I hope his nightmares don’t come true
Don’t come true!
Divide power into time and you get corruption with stagnation
Stagnation!!!
You say you’re playing by the rules
When the game wouldn’t exist without you
It wouldn’t exist without you!!!
Escape velocity let these limitations drain away,
Fears or aspirations,
All I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing new vistas on this temporal road.
Alright!
Escape velocity let these limitations drain away,
Learn the lesson and let go
All I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing new vistas on this temporal road.

Goats or cars, you could get far
Make the switch and strike it rich
Fight the war, settle the score
Militant moves, nuke the dancefloor
Indoctrinate them to build a new Rome
Rule the world with a microphone
Witness the beauty of a cosmic membrane
Travel to it on a tank of methane
Its the future I see,
See with clarity
So I ask of thee
to get down and get funky!
It is the future that I see
So ask of thee
to get down and get funky yeah!
You desire an empire
Through the dust in madness we trust
Parasites on the political scene
Rely on war to maintain the machine
Party like its 99,
In nuclear bunkers, have a good time
Eat a buritto, with a taco,
Lets set the world on fire yo!
Its the future I see,
See with clarity
So I command thee
to get down and get funky!

Thinking,
Doing,
Working,
Building,
Progress,
Complex,
Efficient Machina,
Thinking,
Doing ,
Raison D’etre
Flexing,
Extending,
Logic,
Knowledge
Cogs,
To make it run,
Cogs,
To make it turn
System Directive,
Autonomic reaction
A world beyond what they can see,
Waves clash and unify
We are robotic,
No one knows why
Why?!

Indoctrinated untoucheables
Convinced of a righteous destiny
Watching your every move
A social idea that achieves mass effect
Nothing belongs to you, it belongs to them
A simulacrum in a digital domain
Politicians that trade in death
For the interests of the status quo
Navel gazing group thinkers
Legendary within their shared worlds
Two dimensional Monoliths
Walk around and they vanish
Dependent on your perspective
They need you more than you need them
When there’s limited resources within a flawed gem
A corporate persona
You use it for it aggression
Cloned authoritarian identity
Censoring thoughts to keep the pack intact
Powerful vassals totally unaware of themselves
Dutifully serving self interest
And a broken generational legacy
Consensus prioritized above reason
Enjoy your moment of pyrrhic reign
Your conditions are collapsing!
An interpretation of imperfection
Listening closely to the pulse of the void
A truth whispered by the king of lies!

Look up to the sky, see the ash eclipse the sun
My response to your question is a loaded gun
I just want to suck the blood out of everyone
While I bark orders dreams remain unsung
My actions here, now, define my progeny
For I’m the coda in a despotic symphony
The armies of the world cower to my will
And I start wars and you collect the bill
I’m nature’s greatest mistake
And I reap from the profits I take
I’m the respectable face of the fake
I always get the biggest slice of cake
I am The One
Nations fall at my feet
The mob wants a king
Ideology is what they seek
The armies of the world cower to my will
And I start wars and you collect the bill
My actions are beyond reproach,
Do you want a piece of me?!
And my aims justify how far I can see

Lost in an alien world
Somehow I owe it yet it owes me not
Dragging, resistant shackled steps
Burned into the fabric of time
With nothing to lose
I drink from the chalice of Discordia
The pretense of rejoicing in chaos
Brings shallow solace and sadness and damning self defeat Yeah!
Detached and Aristotelean
An artefact of lost hope
Thinking away like clockwork
Fragmented and dispersed
Though it shall always remain
A libertarian for when it suits
A hypocrite when confronted with your own truth
I’d rather be an idealist than a cynic
But in this twilight I just see things in various shades of grey yeah!

Filler, my latest album, is an intense mix of hard rock, progressive rock and metal, also incorporating elements of electronica, classical music, industrial, rap, doom and death metal. Lyrically Filler explores themes of world war, the psychology of imperialists, the apocalypse, alienation from the universe and political corruption.
