Breathe in the air of the Autumn skies as we gather near mount street bridge. I see the flames burn in martyrs eyes with such passion and pure desire. We will rise from the Foggy Dew and we will fight until the morning dies, Place us among the nations so we can die beneath an Irish sky. No welcome for this call to arms. We are the legion of the excluded. Passive masses must play their part. Revitalise the pulse of my heart. A Chuisle Mo Chroí. Our fight will surely set us free. Without you, without cause, I would not stay. Our fighting spirit is on it's way...on it's way. I see his blood etched upon the rose as his tears fall down from the skies. The burden of protest that we all know has been lifted from Irish graves. Generations scream their names The usurpers tribute grows Into something tangible to realise a country whole again. No welcome for this call to arms. We are the legion of the excluded. Passive masses must play their part. Revitalise the pulse of my heart. A Chuisle Mo Chroí. Our fight will surely set us free. Without you, without cause, I would not stay. Our fighting spirit is on it's way...on it's way. War will strike me down. My final sacrifice. War will strike me down. My final sacrifice. War will strike me down. Remember my sacrifice.

Life it's time, the war is coming. It's now or never, all or nothing. So take the right step, I'll take one last breath Break these chains again. We are steeped in history, Loaded up on emotive agency. Hide in sorrow and hide in pain. Reach out to this old worn heart again. I've heard / them say "there are better days to come". But they play us as fools throwing crumbs while eating the bread. Look at how they are easily fed. Break the cycle how? A cog in the machine. Escape the madness now. Or be nothing at all. Everfall. Hail! The storm it greets us. In shock n awe it defeats us. It goes on for miles and miles. I close my eyes it's been a while. I want to stay but I've been denied. They said that we would never survive. Cry out sorrow and cry out pain. Reach for the pulse of migrant Earth again. No wait! I've heard that "there are better days to come". But they play us as fools throwing crumbs while eating the bread. Look at how they are easily fed. Break the cycle how? A cog in the machine. Escape the madness now. Or be nothing at all. Everfall. Break the cycle how? A cog in the machine. Escape the madness now. Or be nothing at all. Everfall.

Past Lives 05:11
You left me broken, hurt and misled. But still I stand tall. Yet old thoughts remain in my head. This is my downfall. Rip out the roots of the withered and the blue. Bloom something fresh, something new. As I'd rather be buried by the weight of my own foundations. Burn. Burn all future plans. It's time for new intentions. Brokenhearted she stands Seeking sweet revenge. Taste. Taste bitter resentment. It's just one moment so purse your lips, take a sip. Time to discard long lost past lives. You'll never drag me into mind games. Centre, left or right it's the same. As I rise up from the Phoenix flame. And from the ashes, I'm reborn. Let the rats spread animosity. then pull up the drawbridge. Plague towards the polar opposites Attach the blame then dictate. Burn. Burn all future plans. It's time for new intentions. Brokenhearted she stands Seeking sweet revenge. Taste. Taste bitter resentment. It's just one moment so purse your lips, take a sip. Time to discard long lost past lives. Discard your past lives. Discard your past lives. Discard your past lives. Discard your past lives.

They are led down the road by the purist waving the royal flags. While the bright-eyed cheered, the protestors sneered, inspired by the dissident wing. Tempers resonate, passion in debate roaring from the podium box. Twisting the truth with distorted beliefs. While filling the chasm with immorality. Tap the fountain of youth. Channel their waters through ego. Exploit it for your own gain. And watch steam rise up with hate. They were led down the path of vengeance. Nationalism tethered to demand. By pride and hate, both early and late They'll break the jaws that kill. Our tapestry of life has been weaved through shades of red. All tied together by stories, soldier glories of recent history. Tap the fountain of youth. Channel their waters through ego. Exploit it for your own gain. And watch steam rise up with hate. Reclaim this mud and this bloodied dirt. Our voices will finally be heard. As the die has been cast. If you want to survive you better act fast. The fabrics of time from both realms they intertwine. And something's revealed. Such flawless symmetry reflecting the same imagery. Perfect poetry with words stemming twin like misery. Repudiate and end humanity. Emasculate the passionate drive towards the machine, the dissident fury.

Pawns! Loveless, virtual, plastic, disposable. Faked and filtered. Artificial. Patterns emerging, AI learning for the few to take advantage of. We need to wake up! Drastic choices must be taken as one. We cannot ignore the silent ones. Dedicated to your background sounds and vibrations seduced by notifications. The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching me. Do you ever wonder why This digital lid inside is lifting to let them in? It's bubbling and boiling. Watch it melt against the skin. Public walls are paper thin. The living end up dead. With a price above their heads. Marketing dreams of fame and fortune. Fueled by sinister propaganda. while progress is cut to it's knees. Fleeting serotonin is all I need. Caught in the headlines of views, likes and follower counts. These bridges have no riches. Hollow echo energy with click bait synergy Some say free speech, others say impeach! The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching me. Do you ever wonder why This digital lid inside is lifting to let them in? It's bubbling and boiling. Watch it melt against the skin. Public walls are paper thin. The living end up dead. With a price above their heads. My mental health is failing as the dopamine is rising. Feudalism is succeeding. We are in debt to the all seeing empire. Drown in debt to the all seeing empire. Do you ever wonder why This digital lid inside is lifting to let them in? It's bubbling and boiling. Watch it melt against the skin. Public walls are paper thin. The living end up dead. With a price above their heads.

Join this digital landscape. Climb the endless mountain. Online Everest consume. Rat race with diminishing rates of return. Faceless enemy. No limits no borders. Far reaching subservient drones. Distract divide conquer. Cyber command and control. Thoughts of breaking the cycle. Flood the system with vapid bytes. Inane chatter. While the hidden hand reveals your privacy and fantasies. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Generate the world to simulate To find and isolate the ones that hesitate to succumb. Break me free from fake reality. And kill my avatar, the one true enemy. Nano-notions rooted deeply within the skin. Mindless gratification. Immediate satisfaction. Any image plants you there. Hear your own words unspoken by you played out in courts of law. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Generate the world to simulate To find and isolate the ones that hesitate to succumb. Break me free from fake reality. And kill my avatar, the one true enemy. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Disconnect the hive mind. Let go, become static. Generate the world to simulate To find and isolate the ones that hesitate to succumb. Break me free from fake reality. And kill my avatar, the one true enemy. Discard the weak, seek out to terminate The cells that break away, form bonds and mutate So replicate - upload and activate. Sequence and recreate the carbon primate that is me.

Catastrophic conditions lead to mass extinctions, the celestial progenitor collapses. A cataclysmic explosion emits gamma ray destruction. Fusion in an imploding star. A build up of material. Supernova superior. The last fragments float from Earth. Scatters molecular immortal girth. The formation of new stars. Born from interstellar scars. The most luminous cry in space. Silent in it's dying grace. Light years into the void. End created, start destroyed. The accelerating universe a string inside the multiverse. Embedded across the great divide. Entangled by the quantum world. Twisted endless space unfurled. Paradox from end to end. New versions of me and you. The version once fake now true. The last fragments float from Earth. Scatters molecular immortal girth. The formation of new stars. Born from interstellar scars. The most luminous cry in space. Silent in it's dying grace. Light years into the void. End created, start destroyed. Transformations, dissassociations local variations of the math. We identify, no, we demand that you clarify the various vague attempts in the mist that you have created. How can we stand the test of time as energy is stripped away from our minds? The last fragments float from Earth. Scatters molecular immortal girth. The formation of new stars. Born from interstellar scars. The most luminous cry in space. Silent in it's dying grace. Light years into the void. End created, start destroyed.

How can it be that this devouring design led to creation? Just willed into being with hands drawing hands. The pen and the ink predestination. Strange loop source code intertwined. It's triptych. It's phased design. Mind mirror no space no time. It's neurons, pure cause and effect. Euclidean, soul delirium. Fermions spin higgs bosons with field equations in motion. Curvature spin energy tensor to which gravity confers. The shortest path to the greatest circle within the cylinder is geodesic. The shortest path to the greatest circle within the cylinder is geodesic. Give everything it's mass. One actor, two factors. The particles won't last. Rotation. Operation. Spin left, spin right, blink out. The quantum observations. The 3-space manifold unifying notion lo and behold. Macroscopic, hyper-sonic quantum bound states. Space tectonics, time atomic warping flux lines. Gauge actors, sub-compactors blurs the lights in superposition. Fermions spin higgs bosons with field equations in motion. Curvature spin energy tensor to which gravity confers.
