Within your mind the thoughts that we place
What you will see, as real as can be
Illusions elude because you believe
Out of your fantasy replace our reality
Imprisoned our pets, needed to breed
The stories you dream fill our only need
Lost in the thoughts of the minds that are weak
Forever enslaved, Forever set free!
Locked inside the cage
Specimens on display
Behind glass wall in rage
Pleasure negates pain
Your memories we replay
Perform upon our stage
Emerald sky belies the truth underground
From all those lured here hidden
Brains not brawn whip the backs of the slaves here
Voyeurs’ pleasure—addicted to your dreams and fantasy
Talosian winter—forever be damned
Missiles like rain once watered the land
Barren and broken reduced now to dust
Cavernous prison survive here you must
Craving the fix from the memories of others
Compulsion so strong no matter who suffers
Unjust enslavement no empathy
Rotting the insides, this mental disease

Explorer? Conqueror?
Galactic gateway, electric doorway
Light years from home you stand upon new worlds
Folding time in the blink of an eye
Tearing down the threshold
Between space and time
Unknown and alien
The Ancient Iconian
From where have you appeared?
Walker of worlds
Demons of darkness and air
Creators of timeless space…and spaceless time
Seeding new worlds,
Prophetic destiny…
Genetic mystery…
Progenitors of cosmic expansion
Enemy bombardment
You fled your broken world
Through the doorway of tomorrow
Never to return
Myths and mysteries
Echo in your wake
Unknown and alien
From where have you appeared?
Ancient Iconian

Welcome! I’m Portal Six-Three
Awakened from immortal dreams
Guardian of T’Kon empire
Petition to enter past Delphi Ardu
Who meets the challenge? I hold your fate
In this hand—a staff to devastate
I sense the fear and step inside your mind
Crystalline trees harness power to immobilize
Forever I’m waiting, formless and ageless
Entombed as a ghost with no hope or despair
Armed as a sentinel, I am the gatekeeper
Securing a border no longer there
Sword of T’Kon—We are forever
But now T’Kon is lost, eons I’ve slept
Bastu is gone—Makto and all the rest
Out of time and left in space
On this last outpost I shall sleep again
Relics of T’Kon—We are forever

Lights of Zetar

The Lights of Zetar, glowing lucid and bright
Like moth and flame, sailor to siren
Telepathic souls, trapped in Limbo
This collective consciousness
Blinds your eyes and overthrows your soul
The Lights of Zetar
A cosmic stormblast of disembodied consciousness
Defense is useless fight if you will—lights burned into your mind
Sweep through stars, flesh and bone
The Lights of Zetar
Forced entry
No asking, just taking all that it wants
Eyes glazed, it won’t stop
Until the lights are you
Telepathic resonance, engramatic dissonance
Erasing memory, your body now host
Rewriting thought, your body and mind
Invisible control—deleting the signature of your soul

Strangers from the valley
Archons, say the prophecy
Festival—behold the Red Hour
Purging, blood spills this night
Communion, blank mind accept the good
Landru absorbing heretics
Computer—god to program peace
Blessed be is the body
Absorb the minds of men
And hold the flesh
(Freedom through obedience)
Cast evil away
Make blank the soul
(Vessel of tranquility)
Drones, empty thoughts
Words of praise
(Will of Landru crushing all!)
Obey the prime directive
Evil must be cast away
Landru the force of all good
Dissention will not be tolerated
All parts move in unison
At one with tranquility
Submergence into the common good
Blessed be is the body
Welcome to our paradise
Here is where you’ll end your life
Remove the sin and cleanse the soul
Don’t resist the lawgivers
Hallow tubes that empty minds
Chambers to absorb the will
All in time shall be as one

Kneel to Ardra! Bend before your dark lord
Pray to Ardra! I have calmed the storms
Sold to Ardra! Sold your souls to me
Bound to Ardra! Bound for eternity
Hello my children! Come onto me
Bring forth the census and fall to your knees
One thousand years of promised peace
Land, air, and heaven belong now to me
Serpent’s tongue—the weaver of lies
Myth Belief Reality
Bowel-shaking earthquakes fill the oceans with tears
Ventax it trembles, portents of dread and fear
Witness my powers—dark magician of the sky
Archaic prophecy, hidden truth brought to light
I am Ardra! Great and Divine
My name unspoken, feared and reviled
Behold my visions—forgotten ancient scrolls
Slaves—I own you! Heart, mind, and soul
Create the gods that you seek
Myth Belief Reality

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.
