Descent

Wear your mark with courage.
Bear your conscience as you descend down.
In light, in shadows.
Reap my harvest.
You won’t lay a hand on my centre.
Disappear as the chosen one.
Son of the right.
My deeds will deserve their triumph.
In my carnal reverie,
I dictate the grinding of the years.
In this light, in these shadows.
Unfold the river
of the titan’s abyss.
May my ashes sink.
Oh reaper, call my name.
Heel my anchor over.
Bring out your wrath.
Bring out the waters.
Face my burden. Drown.
Born in dust. Returned.
Bewildered by invisible, undisturbed sands
of the infinite physical, ethereal, primal maker.
Shatter my eyes.
Release my reins.
Leave all that I am.
Lay on your digressions.
Bury my desolate eyes.
And leave them to degrade.
Am I alone?
In this light. In these eyes.
Alone?
Am I alive?
Still around? Still on ground?
Let go.

Echoes
05:05
|

|
Shatter the world without the anchors of the conscience.
The hollow.
You couldn’t bear the future of the soulless.
Be the cure.
Revert to soil.
Disentangle.
Open the wild eye.
Unearth the remnants of the crimson sky again.
Be in the light.
Be in the risen.
Crawl. Let your eyes shine.
You couldn’t bear the freedom of the ruthless.
The inferior.
Disappear in the rift of the marrow.
Consent. Follow.
Ease the fight.
The cure.
Unholy son, deny the anchors of the crystal expectations.
Release your weight. Ascend to the oceans.
Reveal the all.
Let go. Be aware of echoes here in the wreckage of the once pure centre.
Lies, rules, reigns in ruins.

Do unto them as they would have you crawl.
Inner eye closed.
Outer mind gone.
Behold the delight of the impious sight.
Born over man.
Over sun.
The unbound.
Clear.
This all will pass soon.
Disembody. Overrule
the ill-conceived silver tongues.
Reawaken your lost rage.
Deny shackles, denounce the real.
Bury the once primal.
Relieve your burdened soul.
Shattering the once caged divine.
Slip away. Desert the sky.
Shivering son. Hollow saint.
You are better off in the veins of the ground.
Where you belong.
The one vessel. The hope, the god of the rage.
The anchor.
I am here.
Annihilate.

Renegade
07:05
|

|
Entwine the tides. Follow the crystal eye.
Once more, we rally
the Sun God, the black night sky and the shivers
below the spine.
Revoke the serenades, the hollow appraisals.
I, the renegade. The stubborn sinner.
Who are you to read the gospel with shallow and burdened eyes?
Speak, coward prophet.
Mind divine.
Core unveiled.
Relay these eyes.
Obey the unknown.
Guide the hopeless eyes.
I will pry them open.
Fade, shatter, obliterate.
Hear these bones crumble.
These tethers lead me nowhere.
Sever the chord.
Open the black sky.
Daylight, the blind man’s prison.
I erase.
Who are you to preach these hollow, irrational, scattered lies?
Cursed coward prophet.
Curate the downfall.
Embrace the descent.
Pay.
Manifest the mountain.
Still building pillars.
Carry the burden.
The weight increasing.

Immortalized. Ingrained to feel godsent.
Creator above the storm.
Revere.
Dissolve. Decay in agony.
May the withered sun shine on
the cracks inside the hollow barriers.
Hum the frozen, distant gospel.
Unveil the indifferent human eye.
Forge the shadows until the light’s end time.
Into the valley of guilt.
Endure.
Dissolve. Decay. Revere.
Unravel the untethered.
Follow the sun born. Dictate the rules.
These mortal eyes. One gaze away.
Over man. Above the earthly veil.
My reign over all.
The one, the sent eternal god.
Never to touch ground.
The exempt. The absolving shrine.
The savior.
Void of light.
Divide. Defeat.
May the withered sun shine on
the cracks in the shell.
The rays rekindle my core.
I live.

Stasis
07:49
|
|||
|
Separate. Wrap the leash.
The last stand.
This shallow, trivial, malevolent cage.
To watch the pillars topple down.
Derailed, gone from the tracks
as we wade through the cracks.
Reanimate your deceit
until complete stasis.
Pray your eyes will wither.
Interconnected cowards. Unseen.
Greedy Midas forger.
Inter-divine imposter.
Live.
Back against the wall. How we wait, crave.
Our weary horizon. Find our roots, ropes.
This all will go someday.
Brace for the pillars.
Shine beyond reason.
This sovereign prison skyline.
The throne of the wild.
The god, the one.
All.
And you will know us by name.
Bringers of the sun. In distant light.
Enter the wilful chronicle.
I.
Pray your eyes will wither.
Interconnected cowards. Unseen.
Greedy Midas forger.
Disintegrate to nothing.
Pray your eyes will wither.
Interconnected cancer. Afraid.
Greedy Midas.
Curse your insolence.
One more descent.
One last turmoil.
Crashing pillars.
Swaying stasis.

The Reckoning
07:55
|

|
Fellow pilgrim,
come caress the sunlight.
Into the auburn glow,
crystalline, we’ll meet one day.
Will this weight be thrown beside my echoing cries?
Why?
May the gods be wrong about us.
May they weep with kindness
and favour our kindred eyes.
I’ve never been this much nothing
and so little something.
We wallow in inertia.
Grip your heart, doubtful shepherd.
Be prepared for the reckoning.
Should have done more.
Should have fought.
Should have sung louder.
Should have known.

Violate Consensus Reality
by PSYCHONAUT
supported by 256 fans who also own “Stasis”
I have grappled with this album for a long while now, and it just feels so empty to listen to. Unfold the God-Man was so groundbreaking. This feels like a complete 180, both in content and concept. Consensus Reality is a concept that is core to scientific and academic values, the title alone seems like an attack on that. Humans are not perfect, but what we agree is real forms the foundation of everything we are. Concept: 0/10. Music: not sure what to say. Empty, chaotic, unpleasant. Im sorry...

Another massive masterpiece. The 2024 concert experience of the core pieces of this release was outstanding.
