Very interesting Lyrics ;) Create from The Faceless

[Tetrapeter]

I listened to this song the day it was released. It was somehow magical. As I read the lyrics the first time I know I thought : "this guy who wrote the lyrics (Michael Keene) had some serious ego issues" .. and he had.. later he became an heroin addict. Nevertheless was this song (and whole album) his best creations (if one likes tech death). And somehow the lyrics resonated with me without understanding why, because it seemed so preposterous. At that time this album was really a gamechanger in the tech-metal-scene. It was super innovative regarding composition and musicianship. That Band could be much much bigger if Michael Keene wouldn't have fucked up his and others life so hard.

First as I started involving myself in Meditation/Spirituality, few years later, I started to understand the significance of his lyrical work as well.

Here the Song :

Lyrics:

I consummate this realm through the vision I possess

I rise above consecrated imposition

The pious flame

A flame extinguished from the mind

I will create a new reality

No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)

Rest your weary mind

No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)

I have realized I am God

I will descend to the depths of man

Proclaim to the void

Emptying my cup

The starved, weary, thirsting From God's barren grave within the garden of untruths

A flower takes bloom and births a new reality

No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)

Rest your weary mind

No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)

I have realized I am God.

That's an awesome observation! 

Love that band. Planetary Duality is my shit. Gonna go back and explorer their lyrics.

Interesting story about how I found out about them. A couple of my friends had a prog metal band and were opening for them (along with rings of Saturn and after the burial)
