synopsis:
'Downstone' are a team of elite mech pilots with suits that allow time travel at the cost of acute amnesia (tied to the song Knurl on Memorrhage s/t).
They’re from 2096. They go back to 1996 to meet their mech suit creator to devise a strategy to fight cyberdemons of their time. These cyberdemons are interdimensional, but do not have access to time travel.
lyrics:
In the rifts of time, slicing
In secrecy, old blood reveals
Pilots clad in sacral armor
Fate realigned, a blur
With the gift of time, struggling
Receipts of theft, under a veil
Invasive dimensional threat of armies
Hooks, tubes, rot gut fever blooms
Fever blooms
Trip up their thoughts
With the d-sect maneuver
Work your way through
Viscous bubble and drain
Got the old brain
Port of blades
Wooden mechanism
Dive into the past
Blood first, head last
Head last
Port of blades
Wooden mechanism
Dive into the past
Blood first, and head last
Head last
Head last
Head last
Head last
Tortured future intertwine in the shadows,
A dangerous path, a promise to fulfill
Hope to last in a future, withdrawal
Gather wisdom, bound by stone embrace
I will
Receipts of theft, under a veil
Invasive dimensional threat of armies
Hooks, tubes, rot gut fever blooms
Fever blooms, fever blooms
Through the dizzying network, a venture
Seeking knowledge whispered in a maze
An army of dreams, masters, a looming splinter
Suits charged and lubricated, the past they beset
Master
Master
Mechanical laughter, ventricular pains
Beating in unison, a symphonic hymn
Tortured future intertwine in the shadows,
A dangerous path, a promise to fulfill
Hope to last in a future, withdrawal
Gather wisdom, bound by stone embrace
I will

synopsis:
A scientist who discovers cosmic horror beyond their comprehension.
lyrics:
Dig through the shit, you'll see
There's a hole in everything
The void's alive and it's made its way through infinity
Lock the fucking door
Seal up the fucking cracks
Lock the fucking door
But there's a hole in everything
Seal up the fucking cracks
But you can't stop the fucking leak
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in you and me
There's a hole in everything
Reality's bleeding out through
This motherfucking gunshot wound
Suture up this space-time
Cauterize the fucking gash
Now the stitches start to seep
Now the lighter begins to bleed
Even the blood forms a void
Even the smoke drains out in streams
How did it get, like, this, you, say
Mathematical simplicity
You’ll see
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in you and me
There's a hole in everything
How did it get, like, this, you, say
How, how, how
Mathematical simplicity
Multiply this reality
By fucking oblivion
Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole in you and me
There's a hole in everything
There's a hole that's everything
There's a hole that's you and me
There's nothing left of anything
There's a hole that's everything
There’s a fucking hole

synopsis:
Recon team of mechs on a mission to retrieve kidnapped personnel and stolen artifacts and technology while being met with ambushed attacks along the way, eventually succumbing to their death.
lyrics:
You and your team
Sent to find
The hive, reflex point in the distance
Traverse dilapidation, dodge any instance
Of trepidation through the broken cities
Remain focused
Entrapment awaits
From the blindside
Hit with a blast
From the blindside
We can’t turn back
Turn the corner
Retrieve what’s lost
Through a hillside cave
Claustrophobic diversion end game
One Invid or two, won’t leave unscathed
See a light at the end, nothing but flames
Brace for impact, break through to escape
Retain focus
In the violence we’ll save
From the blindside
Hit with a blast
From the blindside
We can’t turn back
Turn the corner
Retrieve what’s lost
Failure
Failure
We died for nothing
Disintegrate for you

synopsis:
Deep ocean-floor Merfolk conducting experiments on humans who've encroached their waters.
lyrics:
Who will miss you, drywalker?
A list of pawns
Would they come look for you?
To right the wrongs
Only in their eyes
Only in their eyes
Dive
Deep
Down, a chain of lies as strong as steel
Drown, in channels of yearning down below
Envy, covet, ravenous whirlpool
Where we scheme
Where we dwell
Drag you
Down to
Floors of ritual
Blot you
Shape you
Forfeit your old flesh
Forfeit, for us
Down, down, down
Floor, floor
Where we scheme
Where we dwell
Drag you
Down to
Floors of ritual
Change you from your past
Memory sluice
Savor this moment
Can't give it back
Can't give it back no
Can't give it back
If we wanted to
Can't bring you back
Now you're a part of us
In the merrow you'll be
No breath, but free of life
As hollow as the sage
To skulk in the Dark Meanders
Stir the grime
Open up the mind
Seeing is believing
Another trip up to the shore

synopsis:
Strange cybernetic mothlike alien known as the Sallow Moth [referencing my defunct death metal project of the same name] stops at what seems like an abandoned space station but quickly becomes stuck in a simulation designed to confuse its perception and suppress its awareness of existence.
lyrics:
Hyperdrive into a distant corner
Coil inside, gathering a dust-like aura
And I see familiar faces
I got lost in departure, fading
In holographic cages
This where home is?
Break out of my mind
A state of silence
Break out of my mind
A level soulless, solace
Break out of my mind
A state of silence
Breach from the sky
Is someone arriving
Who found me?
Sight unknown, it's just my imagination
Digital home, it's whatever this place is
And I see familiar faces
I got lost in my rapture, phasing
I'm holographic lately
It's relentless
Break out of my mind
A state of silence
Break out of my mind
A level soulless, solace
Break out of my mind
A state of silence
Breach from the sky
Is someone arriving
Who found me?
No one
No one
Break out of my mind
A state of silence, it's selfless
Break out of my mind
A level soulless, I know this

synopsis:
Perspective of an individual's obsession with a fictional virtual reality game called 'Sero', and further sinking into this becoming their perceived reality.
lyrics:
Watch in the mirror
Mirror
Watch in the mirror
Mirror
We’re changing
We’re seeking shelter from the missiles in The silo with
We’re seeking shelter from the mecha in
The hideaway
The loading bay cuts through the meadow
Where the sun sets
The signal fading in the tower of
A god’s head
Crush
If only you could see that it will change me
I forget what it’s like to be in Sero
I forgot what it’s like to be in Sero
Watch in the mirror
Skin is thickening
Taking the tower
Watch me get closer
Collapsing power
Gridlock strengthening
We’re seeking shelter from the missiles in The silo with
We’re seeking shelter from the mecha in
The hideaway
The loading bay cuts through the meadow
Where the sun sets
The signal fading
What life could do to me
I can only live once more
I forget what it’s like to be in Sero
I forgot what it’s like to be in Sero
Snap back from reality
Naipit sa death seat
Pakawalan mo ako
Let’s go
I forget what it’s like to be in Sero
I forgot what it’s like to be in Sero
I’m falling into the sea of machines
I’ll make it to you
I’m falling into the sea of machines
Make it to you
You

|
synopsis:
The perspective of the off-world black market beings from ‘Brain Wield’ from self-titled, but this time sculpting the mind of the cyber moth protagonist from the aforementioned project Sallow Moth as it reels through space under their calculated telepathy.
lyrics:
A failed search turned limitless drift
Without a real motivator, it whirrs through space
Metallic dust, neural fine artifact
A new beacon catches its eye
World of trade, deceit in spades
Untraceable cable weaves through
Hidden strings pulling moth wings
Span wishes of farseek
Assimilate program and greatly increase
Intelligence of all beings and behaviors
Out of mind
Thoughts splinter
Out of mind
Unknown network
Out of mind
Thoughts twisted
Out of mind
Vessel controllable
With matter undead, inhuman
Into webs, function like a weapon
No real reason said
Just control without repercussion and
Independent of thoughts, was there a precedence?
Assimilate program and greatly increase
Intelligence of all beings and behaviors
Out of mind
Thoughts splinter
Out of mind
Unknown network
Out of mind
Thoughts twisted
Out of mind
Vessel controllable
Possession mastered
Without spirit
Possession mastered
Possess a master
With devices
Obsession crafted
No bloodshed needed
In my eyes, I see reality
Needle my mind, sharp and exact
Outside but in my body
Take me, override, can’t go back
Outside but in my body
Take me, redefine
Remember nothing
Remember nothing again
Mind without end
Dismember all memory
Out of mind without end
Dismember all memory
Out of mind without end
Engine thrust, dust sparkle deeds
Graveyard star
Bleed liquid lie, poison steering
Turn this world stone, that one ice
Cold cube spacecraft
Speed like a freak
Smuggler, builder
New fruits on a tree
Out of mind
Thoughts blister
No slow mode rest stop
But curiosity bends
The will of the thief
For just a split second
Out of time
Hologram flicker
Sickened sickened
Hologram flicker
Surface
Acquiescence
Essence adaptive
It needs to be taken
No matter the journey
Love maladaptive
It thinks it’s worship
It needs to be taken
Automaton Zero

synopsis:
A group of Cenobites indulge a thrillseeker’s obsession with the afterlife to their realm and provides them with pleasure and torture until they become a Cenobite themselves.
lyrics:
Sequence the dream
I can see
Sequence the dream
Welcome me
In the labyrinth, extra dimension
Perception warped state of being
In the labyrinth, limitless pleasure
Is this what you seek?
Briefly muse on the past
Mind conjure fill the void
How long will I wait, I wonder?
What is fear?
What is fear?
What is fear, but the soul's response?
Let me through, I've come this far
Flickering moments, exquisite catharsis
In the labyrinth, limitless pain
Is this what you need?
Briefly muse on the past
Mind conjure fill the void
How long will I last, I wonder?
What is fear?
What is fear?
What is fear, but the soul's response?
Let me stay, I've come so far
Don't kill the dream don’t, don’t kill the dream no, don’t kill the dream don’t
I'll bleed forever
I am here
I am here
I am here
Forever
Forever
This is what you desire
This is what you desire
