Blazing beginning
Primordial dawn
Resplendent in grandeur
Provenance of all
A flicker of a moment
Existence unleashed
A sequence set in motion
Unfurling from the deep
The blinding might of creation
Disturbing the mystical void
Infernal conflagration
Configurations and chaos deployed
Symphony of light
Materialise
Waves upon waves
Reverberate and divide
Dark aeons echo by
Gravitations and time
In the heart of the night
Ancestral stars ignite
Celestial furnaces loom, new elements arise
Forged in stellar wombs, the substances of minds
From cataclysmic tombs, they cast the seeds of life
Their legacies abloom in sidereal light
The blinding might of creation
Disturbing the mystical void
Infernal constellations
Shine, sow, sprawl

Scions of the seas
With soil upon our limbs
From a crawl we rise
With starlight in our eyes
Ancient divinities
Howl above and within
Our ways on walls inscribed
With starlight in our eyes
To tame the earth
We harness the wilds and cycles once mystery
Cultivating births and their feats
From word to stone
Our knowledge persists through our mortalities
Inheriting from bones and from dreams
The ages pass
We conquer, we gather, we observe as moons go by
From cold and fire to farms, and to flight
The heavens wide
The final frontier, we reach for the skies
With starlight in our eyes
Awakening
To wonders from afar
Beckoning
The heralds of the past
In sequential fleets
The exodus sets off
To sow and colonise
With starlight in our eyes
Unravelling
Explorers of the vast
Wandering
The scions of the stars

The Sapien Shadow

I saw their vision across the stars
vast empires proliferate to systems far
Suffered have I throughout millennia
Surrendered the mind to sophic oblivion
I gaze into the sapien shadow
Peripheral currents coursing through marrow
No longer of human condition
The fate of all life still extinction
Still captive within the eternal
And everything moulders infernal
From beyond the cosmic birth
To beyond the conscious mind
More than the legacy of life on earth
But inceptual seeds echoing through time
From microbes to vertebrates
From wayfarers to starsteppers
Divergent branches progenerate
To the outermost stars intrepid
The onset of time’s decay and dust
On the worlds we’ve left behind
A harrowing and inevitable dusk
Upon the weary eyes of our kind
With void unending before us
Starless and open beneath
We fall into an ocean enormous
An anticlimactic defeat
The cosmic dice are rolling
Not cubic but spherical
Abyssal giants approaching
These monkeys need a miracle
Like lemmings engulfed by the billions
Hypoxic en masse ebullisms
A black hole lives up to its purpose
And all we endured, was it worthless?

Omniscient

The final form of life
Heir of matter and might
Keeper of eternal archives
Omniscient sum of knowledge and time
Tendrils extend beyond galactic shores
Arteries radial with nowhere left unexplored
Once insurmountable distances intertwined
Networks infinite embody the overmind
Interdimensional consciousness
Descendant of crafted intelligence
Empyreal wisdom watches through aeons
Interconnected in elegance
Hyphal starlit galactic web
Mystical pathways of light
Radiate through boundless black
Forging through eternal night
Filamental firmament
Ethereal, mycelial
Neuronal in its nature
Links of light sidereal
Strands and streams of stars
Clear and crystalline
Seas of matter
Light and dark
The cosmic web alive
Time stretched beyond meaning
The freeze sets in slow
Aeons of emptiness unending
The last lights cease to glow
The era of starlight is over
The sequence in full has been run
Even black holes fade out forever
The age of existence is done

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
