lyrics
Help me!
I am watching atomic warfare
from the safety of the moon
I am dancing sacrilegiously
to sound of infectious tunes
There is no sunset,
is no sunrise,
things on Earth don't seem as they are
The opal planet I once called
home is revolving a dying star
Strange!
Awakening from cryonic sleep
I vacate my homely hemisphere
My soul travels on turbulent thoughts
whilst my innards remain here
I feel pity for the ignorant one who
leaves the egg but the shell remains
The severance of umbilical ties
multiplies his deepest pains
Thought the eyes in my head
I hear the purple flower's scent
Casting shadows in the shade
Lusting for the gates of jade
Though hallucinative wealth
I can not comprehend myself
Sterility, fertility -
the life that dwells inside of me
I often stop to wonder
whilst gazing to the sky
Is there life beyond the quasars,
will I find out when I die?
Is there a beeing out there
who gaze into the night
And see our burning sun
as a tiny spark of flight?
[Repeat verse one]
I am watching atomic warfare
from the safety of the moon
I am dancing sacrilegiously
to sound of infectious tunes
There is no sunset,
is no sunrise,
things on Earth don't seem as they are
The opal planet I once called
home is revolving a dying star
Strange!
Awakening from cryonic sleep
I vacate my homely hemisphere
My soul travels on turbulent thoughts
whilst my innards remain here
I feel pity for the ignorant one who
leaves the egg but the shell remains
The severance of umbilical ties
multiplies his deepest pains
Thought the eyes in my head
I hear the purple flower's scent
Casting shadows in the shade
Lusting for the gates of jade
Though hallucinative wealth
I can not comprehend myself
Sterility, fertility -
the life that dwells inside of me
I often stop to wonder
whilst gazing to the sky
Is there life beyond the quasars,
will I find out when I die?
Is there a beeing out there
who gaze into the night
And see our burning sun
as a tiny spark of flight?
[Repeat verse one]

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
