lyrics

I woke from deep slumber, feeling so surreal
There's an urge to push onward — towards some new ideal

Programmed to pursue that which I will soon possess,
nothing will halt this search (as man and mission coalesce)

What is the purpose?
What is in control?
Nothing feels logical, but I'm so enthralled

Eternal unrest

Completely obsessed
and crowned by the hand of fate
to seek out this anomaly

Weary of confrontational encounters with man...
By proxy they guide flesh machines

''I must obey!"

A cybernetic driven search, Kubrickian,
for the nameless —beyond ancient— unnamed "thing"

"Priceless perfection will soon be ours!"
"Ours?"
"This timeless hunt is at an end for OUR world!"

I, I can feel it rising within
The loss of control as ''I'' fades to ''it''
A powerless shell of a man.. An empty zealot

Climbing towards the sky,
I am stripped of life

Climbing into the sky,
absorbed of all life...

Drawn towards the sky,
I am stripped of life

Drawn into the sky,
absorbed of human life

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
