The Myth Is Law

by The Aeons Collapse

supported by
GeN2Mo
GeN2Mo thumbnail
GeN2Mo Modern Metal infused with Death Metal sensibilities, subtle atmospheric Black Metal-esque undertones and a Gojira-esque approach to semi-melodic vocals.
This is not a loud one or a catchy one but it knows how to profit from it with a strong emphasis on atmosphere.

Ignition 03:17
Blinding blast enough to obliterate every sun The conception of all A violent expansion within the black Devouring nothingness as it goes Vibrational patterns of near infinite variation Become the elements of construction Myriad frequencies dancing in rhythmic undulation Become the foundation of this new universe I've become bored of this none-ness It's time to put an end to this nothingness With this I light the fuse My will the Catalyst Behold the beginning, the violent birth of all Infant matter coalescing into substance Complying to Gravitation's instructions The result: an infinite number of burning spheres of creation It is complete. All has begun, I see that it is good A creation so elite, my fathers will be envious. My beloved universe. Behold the beginning of all.

At last - An end to the grey No more - ceaseless dragging apathy I've found a brilliant light - shattering the dark The new path is clear - the way has been revealed Good fortune placed me within her arms All that was cold and dead is now suddenly alive Good fortune placed me within her heart With new eyes I see that I've come home At long last - Nought comes to an end Cold and death - banished to the past Darkness fades - color radiates Bold new life - permeates the Earth All things lost surface All now given purpose All things frigid in darkness are now warmed by her light And now I see everything Here comes the sun All has been revealed to me She is the sun By her brilliant glow I am given another life In all possible worlds I'm home only by her side

Atlas 05:45
See their world - built upon our backs Daylight filtered - falling through the cracks Beneath this weight - lumbering down their path It is they who hold the reins - but we who control our fate Control is in our hands It is our hands upon the levers We direct the world Exquisite Machines that turn the Earth Straining - holding their weight While they sleep - we return the sun Fueled by obscurity - propelled by division With hidden eyes - they surveil every move To ensure we never stray - but lumber down the path they choose Resist the pull - that holds us captive We are their strength - shrug off this weight We are their strength - We turn the gears We are the hands - that built their world We cause all effect

Engulf 03:59
Prepare yourself Brace for the storm Hold on to what you know, let it keep you warm Vulnerable We've all become Ourselves exposed knocked to the ground There was a time- Belief a simple choice Too many hands- Now influence the truth What once was clear- Blurred out to obscurity Within this storm- Reality's lost Misrepresentation of Corrupted version of A fabrication of Inflated human drama Dishonest ignition Abuse of smoke and mirrors On our hands and knees we search for remnants of the truth The violent wind kicks up the dust lost among digital bits of flawed information Every event- A thousand outlets Dirty hands- mold and shape the facts And what is left- a cryptic paradox All equal versions- multiple choice truth Storm of misinformation Carpet bombing multiple fabrications Storm of misinformation Run with your favorite version Run - with - the - truth Try to run - with your version of the truth

Subliminal 02:55
Executed so perfectly - Save For this Unforeseen vulnerability - Exploit this Soiled hands searching for the wound - you won't like this Dirty finger poised over the void - Take a breath, and press Deeper This is about control This is subliminal When you wake up you won't remember anything - Save for this new allegiance Hasn't it always been this way? - What's wrong? Can't you remember? Tell your children that this is how it is - Punish the curious Don't disrupt the natural order - Is this not the way that it's always been?

What- The fuck am I? Who- The fuck am I? And what the fuck do I want? I know where the fuck I've been But the ultimate fucking question is Where the fuck do I go from here? The clock is ticking now I'm not getting any fucking younger Somebody point me to some goddamn fucking answers Do the credits crawl across the screen Before a proper fucking end is achieved? Motherfuckers, I'm not dead yet I'm not dead weight I've still got worth I'm on a quest to find that ounce of fucking potential I have a place In this universe But I'll be damned if I can point myself in the right direction When I grow up Oh fuck, too late Just how long have I been asleep? Don't pull the plug, don't bury me Motherfuckers, I'm not dead yet And I still have a few tricks up my sleeve Some crazy fucking shit you wouldn't believe It's coming out I've still got a story to tell And I've still got shit to say And I just don't give a fuck if anyone wants to listen I'm just gonna put this down Just to pull it out of my head And I'm gonna throw it out into the fucking sea If no one wants to hear I'll scream it at their fucking backs Motherfuckers, I'm not dead yet

Control is released To automatic, blind process All forms of intervention forbidden No alterations of experiment No intent, no predetermined path Your role is to observe, Be silent we must learn Stay your hand and let all things run their course A cryptic view When seen from the outside All is as it must be So cruel from the outside The outside looking in All is as it must be Theres a glitch in the system A rogue malicious element Destructive agent within the script An irritating flaw in the program Such misfortune could not have been foreseen This was not by design - This element lusts for control Stay your hand and let all things run their course Ignited by a single thought So quickly mythic notions influence Passed on through words and now the myth is fact So deeply ingrained now the myth is law Shackled by misinterpretation Lead to the precipice by false information Blindfolded by fear and arrogance One malicious thought spreads to consume the whole
9.
In vain we try to see the world with uncorrupted vision Persistent is irrationality in its attempts to pollute To blind us from truth So slow the veil is pulled away as it's lifted from our eyes The more we see the more we cling to the comfort of delusions Blessed are the ignorant Cursed be those who can see Turn away, lest you see yourself All you've ever seen: a facade Elaborate Illusion When they lift the blind - will you look? Or will you cover your eyes afraid The curtain is lifting now The hologram is fading out This front is falling down Don't turn away
10.
So What the fuck did you think that life was supposed to be You kill yourself for a piece of the pie, then you give it to me Don't go on thinking for a second, that you're anything More than grease between the gears of this vicious machine We'll feed our scraps to you one at a time, wait your turn You can have all we give, your rewards must be earned Obey, This is the hand that feeds Fear me, The hand behind my back grips the knife tightly Don't bother to resist, its useless, you'll never make a difference Our side has too many, and yours too few You exist because we allow it, now get back in line Just stay where you've been placed and you'll get through this just fine You're given just one life and it aims to tear you down In the end it leaves you broken Death only comes to carry you away You cannot stop the process It runs deeper than you can know We can't tolerate disobedience You're useless to us dead
11.
The final chapter will be written but never read The author of your demise will leave no audience A whisper against cacophony All you had was not enough Theres nothing left Take your place among the broken All you had was not enough Theres nothing left Take your place among the forgotten Savor the bitterness of defeat To come so far only to fail Let go of the hope that left you in the dark Farewell to the dreams that now you'll never know The tale is left untold With no eyes to read the words All memories evaporate With no minds left to remember Somewhere along the path you lost your way You lost sight of your destination Maybe you were never really concerned Perhaps you lost what it meant to dream And now the end comes

Outro 03:01
So here we are. The seeds have been planted but none have grown. Still, the reaper comes to harvest what is owed. Promise unfulfilled. It all ends here, which is everywhere. Now, which is everywhen. We did give it our all, didn't we? Did we? No matter now. The trumpet sounds. The collector Death approaches. Each step like a monolith crushing my chest. I want to warn them but there are none left. I want to escape but here is all there is. No retreat to the past, it is here now. This moment is all there is, and this moment is withering. All that is left is to watch the end of all that is left. All that ever was. To watch as the aeons collapse. Rebirth.
