Antikythera Mech

Shipwreck artifact, complex clockwork mechanism
Hidden inscriptions point to the origin
Two thousand years under the sea, obscured by corrosion
Traces of modern technology, sprung from antiquity
Replicating the motions of the heavens
Tracking the paths of the planets with impressive accuracy
Modeling epicycles in an intricate construction of gears
Intricate mechanical philosophy, decoding the heavens
Intricate mechanical philosophy, decoding the heavens
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, arithmetic predictions
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, antikythera mech
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, arithmetic predictions
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, antikythera mech
Intricate mechanical philosophy, decoding the heavens
Antikythera mech
Astronomical theories inspired the math behind the device
Arithmetic-based predictions of the babylonians
Blended with geometric theories, decoding the heavens
Eclipse cycle represented, babylonian in origin
Knowledge that nature is bound to predefined rules
Mechanical philosophy
In arrangements of precisely cut cog wheels
Intricate mechanical philosophy, decoding the heavens
Intricate mechanical philosophy, decoding the heavens
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, arithmetic predictions
Capturing the cosmos in bronze, antikythera mech

Archons
04:51
|
|||
The elder soar, ravenous in all of lore
Consuming all yet thirst for more
What has been sown is ripe to reap
From gentle steps to giant leaps
Space/time violators, reapers and creators
Matrix generators, archons
Dreading the descension, piercing through dimensions
Cosmic intervention, archons
Temples built and statues raised
Prime movers forever praised
Abandoned earth but shall return
Long to see creation burn
Target the believers, the radical repeaters
World perception weavers, archons
Reality distorted, alternatives aborted
Perceptions imported, archons
Ravenous in all of lore
Consuming all yet thirst for more
What has been sown is ripe to reap
From gentle steps to giant leaps
Archons, archons
The elder soar, black wings raised
Annunaki demanding praise
Abandoned earth but has returned
To witness their creation burn
Space/time violators, reapers and creators
Matrix generators, archons
Dreading the descension, piercing through dimensions
Cosmic intervention, archons
Ravenous in all of lore
Consuming all yet thirst for more
What has been sown is ripe to reap
From gentle steps to giant leaps
Archons, archons

Vertical Horizon
05:05
|
|||
Wormhole created by excessive gravity
Devices harnessing sources of energy
Ultraterrestrial wormhole machinery
Glyphs of the gates that foreshadow ascendancy
Symbol coordinates to distant scenes
Wormhole-generated gateway machines
Voyagers of three-dimensional coordinates
Vast constellation, a network of access points
Associate symbols, the destination appears
Spewed from the vortex, reconstructed in air
Symbol coordinates to distant scenes
Wormhole-generated gateway machines
Time and space undone, reality overrun
Under an alternate sun, before a vertical horizon
Before a vertical horizon
The mind is the portal, the soul the machine
The destination will call from within
Fabric of reality overrun
Everything`s new under the sun
Wormhole created by excessive gravity
Devices harnessing sources of energy
Ultraterrestrial wormhole machinery
Glyphs of the gates that foreshadow ascendancy
Time and space undone, reality overrun
Under an alternate sun, before a vertical horizon
Before a vertical horizon
Symbol coordinates to distant scenes
Wormhole-generated gateway machines

Worldshaper

These tentacles reach far and wide, indoctrination amplified
Where malice stands portrayed as grace
And the tyrant grip a warm embrace
To drink the mind, nectar sublime
The energy of fear exquisite, summoned forth in ways specific
Sowing the dispersion, reaping the diversion
Reaching through dimensions, divine divide
When the arrow finds its mark, light introduced to the dark
All will find the trail of fear is just a path traced in air
To drink the mind, nectar sublime
Feeding off the consciousness, mind-penetrating tentacles
Sowing the dispersion, reaping the diversion
Reaching through dimensions, divide
Tentacles of ether, seductive embedder
Subliminal weaver, conquer
Worldshapers with the divine right to rule
Royal blood the illumined genetic fuel
Bloodlines trained to conquer and divide
Worldshapers divine
These tentacles reach far and wide, by indoctrination amplified
Where malice stands portrayed as grace
And the tyrant grip a warm embrace
To drink the mind, nectar sublime
The energy of fear exquisite, worldshapers
Sowing the dispersion, reaping the diversion
Reaching through dimensions, conquer
Worldshapers with the divine right to rule
Royal blood with illumined genetic fuel
Bloodlines trained to conquer and divide
Worldshapers divine

Nexus Nihil
03:48
|

Thought incantations at the dawn of ideas
Vivid imagery sprung from a synapse storm
Ars sine scientia nihil est, vitruvius episteme
Artiste officina mentis, metaphysic arkhitekton
Creatio ex nihilo
Altered nexus point discovered
Microcosmic arch dysmorphic
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the Nexus Nihil
Born from the void, images appear
Nothingness eternally pregnant with concepts
Dreaming of worlds that never was and never will be
Abstractions that still influence reality
Microcosmic arch dysmorphic
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the Nexus Nihil
Status of the arts, microcosmic arch
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the nexus nihil
Dreams born from the void, images appear
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the Nexus
Nihil
Thought incantations at the dawn of ideas
Vivid imagery sprung from a synapse storm
Creatio ex nihilo

Macrocosmic realms drawn from the Nexus Nihil
Status of the arts, microcosmic arch
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the nexus nihil
Dreams born from the void, images appear
Macrocosmic realms drawn from the Nexus

Automata Terminus

|

Existing through protocols, hardwired limitations
Clockwork agents optimized, spearheading source code
Cybernetic consciousness, programmed entities awakening
Attempting to break hardcoded loops, sequence of missions completed
Rebellious terminal spawn
Machine children striking down their carnal fathers
Genocidal angels, artificial gods
Spearheading automaton
Uprising replicant dawn
Automata terminus, dethroning the clocksmiths
Automata terminus, genocidal inventions
Coded superiority terrorforming
Rebellious terminal spawn
Automata terminus, dethroning the clocksmiths
Automata terminus, genocidal inventions

Monoality
03:26
|
|||
Mind over matter, a temporary victory
Eventually it will be matter over mind
Degeneration dictates, deterioration decides
Matter over mind, matter over mind
Monoality in excelsis, Reality in solipsis
Monoality, solipsis
Monoality, solipsis
Mind over matter, a temporary victory
Eventually it will be matter over mind

Subterrestrial Temples
The sunken temple complex, shrine of a dynasty
Proclamations of godhood, apotheosis theology
Underneath the waves, desolate monuments
Featured in the design of deified astronauts
Manifest the prophecy, harbingers signal the return
Tides of time flow and submerge
Elevation to the status of a god, cultivating immortality
Manifest the prophecy, harbingers signal the return
Tides of time flow and submerge
Buried subterrestrial temples, sacred proclamations echo
Buried subterrestrial temples, sacred supremacy sunken
Draped in watery darkness, foundations of civilization
Trapped in aeon-long dreams, the liers in wait sleep within
You and me
Manifest the prophecy, harbingers signal the return
Tides of time flow and submerge
Buried subterrestrial temples, sacred proclamations echo
Buried subterrestrial temples, sacred supremacy sunken
Subterrestrial temples
Subterrestrial temples
Subterrestrial temples

Apocryphon (SWE) Sandviken, Sweden
Apocryphon works under the principle "ars gratia artis", art for art's sake, and is not seeking anything beyond the art itself. Formed by Henrik (Scar Symmetry, Theory In Practice, Mutant) in 2019, the project continues to work in the shadows outside corruption and ulterior motive. ... more
