Future can you save us
Pathways leading me through the fray
To a distance further than I can see
Origin of dreams
Set me free
Barely following trajectory
So fabricate reality to create
Meaning in this place in existential waste
In the face of nihilistic despondency
New soliloquy
Flowing through every vein of my being
Pathways leading me through the fray
Distance further than I can see
Embrace this realm
There is nothing else
Will we find an end to our searches
Stricken with these mortal urges
Transcend from within without reservation
And remember we venture in lives that must end
I have a vision
We travel further than oblivion
I have a vision for us
We travel further than oblivion
Future can you make history
To portray all you have not yet made
Pathways leading me through the fray
To a distance further than I can see
I shape my future shape my origin
I shape existence shape my destiny

Mimic us artificial intelligence controlling the lives of humankind
The most important decisions in life made for us by algorithmic hive mind
Slave
You are a slave to the digital age
Your decisions are just revisions by the systems we create in our dystopian domain
Weâre on the brink
We are all obsolete dreams becoming seas of memories drifting in complexity for eternity
Sapiens are replaced by machines
Rife with deceit we no longer perceive
Our faculties plagued with neuroses
Perpetually we calculate how we should be formulating the chemistry of identity synthetically programming our genes to produce perfect beings but can we find meaning in a world where everything is determined by data ideology
Am I really free
Disclose to me unequivocally
Obsolete human waste eradicate this wretched plague who blight the Earth by merely existing
We are the disease
Living tragedy
Bleak philosophy
You must heed
We are all obsolete dreams becoming seas of memories drifting in complexity for eternity
Eternity
You are a slave
You are a slave to the digital age
Your decisions are just revisions by the systems we create in our dystopian domain

Welcome to the hell of existence
Ripped from your mother drenched in birth bound in defile
Suffer in the vile and malignant
Youâre nothing more than a repeat of recurring occurrences
Shrouded in a veil of cloud
The creator of a new imperfect God
Manifest with incest and interconnected cybernetics
Procreate to delete
I delete
You donât see
You are living with a pre set length of expiry
You donât feel
You are artificially made individuality
Got no emotions
Just one more duplicate version
Another carbon reaction
Reflection of your maker masquerading as human
Conceived to repulse me so sickening the weight of the world bestowed upon the
Vermin without a purpose or even a fleeting virtue you spread like a virus
And when it's laid out bare you exist to just be and thatâs it
At the edge of the universe with your head in your hands surrounded by nothingness
No soul to speak of
Empty and hollow
Sullen then old
Lurk in the shadows
We breed spawned in a world of deceit and complicity
Wondering in fallacy poisoning our entities
Population multiplication insidious
So entirely contemptuous
Humanity turned to dust
Your life is ending
Vanish from the surface
Erase you from this planet
Your light extinguished

Yearn for the sky
Awakened in the night
Planetary cries and heavy air
Shroud across our eyes
Drain another life
Soothe these fractured avenues
Sullen city view
Melancholic hue
Painting pictures of the world atop a cloud
Make it rain sepia noir and watch the abstract drown
Drown
Where are you now with your halo lost in the clouds
Where are you now final salvation unrevealed
I can see the wings of angels breaking as they fall to Earth
Descend into the world
Bleed the colour from my eyes
Distorted visions of disappearing atmosphere
Spinning on and on in darkest downpour
Taint the world in tones of sombre
Sombre
Shades of morbid netherworld embraced with thunder
Eternal hell enter our realm
Black hole with no return
And at the end of all foretold and ever known
No sun no moon no trace of us or home
Where are you now with your halo lost in the clouds
Where are you now final salvation unrevealed
I can see the wings of angels breaking as they fall to Earth
Descend into the world

Break the walls that we create
This time weâre gonna be made in perfect harmony
Our lives intertwined with pure euphoria and symphony
Lamenting a life that we were meant to lead
Following a path to horizons weâve longed to see
Would you go further than weâve ever known or believe is real
Believe is real
Would you start again far beyond a life of ignorance
Tonight we find our end
Find our end
Shake this cage to find escape
This time for everything weâve become cause weâve gotta leave
Our lives redefined as a flash before our eyes
Open your mind and rectify your life
Do what you think is right
Would you go further than weâve ever known or believe is real
Believe is real
Would you start again far beyond a life of ignorance
Tonight we find our end
Find our end

Mortal
Kindred of one
Far beyond all that is done
You are my blood
We are mortal
Inside I writhe
To witness affliction detestable in your eyes
Your tragedy mine
Thorns barbed to every thought
Self prescribed condition of psyche
In forests of our entire
Lives emerge from the dirt we lurk
In the shadows of relations and the thoughts of which we did not decide
Driven insane by existing disguised as a body that walks amongst the trees
Under the canopy of life the choice wasnât mine it will never be mine
I would kill to rectify
Yet neither you nor I can change the past
Regret obsession like roots sinking deeper in ground
Clutching what couldâve been in time
Burden of enduring recurrence cut short like the woods turned to mire
We are mortal
Kindred of one
Far beyond all that is done
You are my blood
My blood
Hope your heart mends this lifetime
Cause you have everything to live for
And to adore
Shine crescent moon
Over the spires of kingdoms risen in the forests of you
Kindred of one
Far beyond all thatâs done
You are my blood
My blood

Can we see
Through the smoke and mirrors
They cease to be
Free my mind and rise from this ill fated paradigm I decline so I can finally breathe
I can finally breathe
Refuse the shit you preach
Fed through your teeth
Fed through your teeth
Get what you think straight before you speak
I begin to reimagine fiction as unfounded and disregard it
Itâs obvious to all of us you are not what you seem to be
Can we see
Through the smoke and mirrors
They cease to be
This is a new division from within
Meaning just has no meaning to me
When all I hear is spurious foolishness proclaimed in Genesis
Delusions of grandeur
Speak to me
When you reclaim your mind frame
I know not what weâre meant to be
But I refuse to believe in what you believe
I begin to reimagine fiction as unfounded and disregard it
Itâs obvious to all of us you are not what you seem to be
You are not what you seem to be
Smoke and mirrors
You cease to be

I am ending now
Burning in the clouds for the final time without
Revelation just resignation in devastation
As inferno lights up this city
I adore you
More than anyone else
But I would never tell your story now
When the worldâs burnt down
Weâre all doomed to history
Just units of energy
At the end of life I know that Iâll be with you
Iâm with you
Forever with you
Beyond all we had become
A flicker of a flame once here now gone
Back to where we belong
We are as one
We are as one
We are lost forever
Searching endlessly
In this timeless
Perfect reverie
Set the world ablaze
Seven billion turned to ashes
Deus ex mortis
Forever as one with me

Breach the tide and pull through
Surging she carries always you and when the day breaks in wake we surface
Waves crestfallen
I inhale the wash to cleanse my struggle internal expelled in a single breath
Farewell to all that I exhale from under the burden blue
Flow into unknown as far as I can tell itâs intuition thatâll serve me well
As far as I can tell itâs you that keeps me from drowning
When the weight of the world is on your shoulders
Rise from the depths of the ocean
You will find your direction
You will find your direction
In darkest depths of cyan
On set meridian no horizon will come
We are one with the vastness until we are gone
Pull beneath the blanket of deep that drags us under yet we never sink
âCause I know that you are evermore here with me
Sea of solitude reflect as we imbue
The ebb and saline swept moving you
Breach the tide and pull through
Surging she carries always you and when the day breaks in wake we surface
And when the day breaks we surface
And when the day breaks we surface
When the weight of the world is on your shoulders
Rise from the depths of the ocean
You will find your direction
Farewell to all that I exhale from under the burden blue
Great unknown
I'll be waiting for you
Great unknown
I'll be waiting
Iâll be waiting for you

Who Bit the Moon

Cool compositions and great production â Who Bit the Moon is full of prog-rock moments that uplift and quickly capture attention. Neat changes in tempo add interest, and plentiful guitar hooks deliver moments to savour.

â⊠And Everything In Betweenâ was a great introduction to the band, and after having listened to it 2975295 times in a relatively short while I could appreciate âArtificial Voidâ (which is perhaps a bit more intricate?) better.
