The Ritual 06:55
Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Iä! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Iä! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! “Rise!” Eyes! Staring to the skies where deep blackness lies searching for the hope Cries! Rites in disguise begging to arise a god that once was I am your savior bow down to me join in my prayers we will all see Truth! This is what we seek Gods from ancient times that are here for us! Lies! We're told so many times living hollow lives servants no more I am your savior bow down to me join in my prayers we will all see They will soon follow we will be free trust your lives trust them in me! “Rise!" False! Prophets of today will be overthrown we'll become Gods with power Wise! Living under guise humans are better off living in OBLIVION Dimensions open worlds will collide a rift in space and time will invite The ancients will emerge from above the stars are right ready your soul! "Rise!" Cthulhu fhtagn! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! I'm the one to see? Only one to feel we will not be free from the black abyss Not the way it should be prisoned eternally teach ourselves to think “learn from past mistakes” we behave like sheep wanting someone to lead instead of us to think “we will just be!” "this and that I need" "and more if you please" "just a few to fill this void in me!" and when it is complete here will come more shit "on your brain they will feed so no time to wake" Up and up it goes the fire and the smoke as the story unfolds once more to self destruct join me we'll be free no pain - easy gain everything is free that's your morality and if you're the enemy look away in apathy not the way it should be we behave like sheep this void you find in me You must be stopped Why don't you see?

Time, slips away Time is flawing like dust in the wind the desert claims my soul onto the unknown on for so long! Knowledge - the key - to rule above the blind a thousand years ago I searched and searched It will be mine! Demons in my vision, guide me through this place in a life-long quest that's slow at pace they say: "Read the signs!" Minions of ancient gods are standing by my side I can feel their power I am alive! Exhausted, the rays of the sun burning, deep in my skin no longer can I.... move on A gust of wind turning to storm clearing the sand Towers of basalt, standing, in front of me Going down and down deeper into the abyss shadows of the past embrace me, caress me, showing me the way into these black halls of ancient gods that are here to last! Upon a pedestal - the book - I am possessed I speak the unholy writings in pages made of flesh It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! All this power It's yours! To devour It's yours! Walk through fire It's mine! My desire!! It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! I'm walking through fire, this knowledge is power I can feel it in my skin, filling it with energy It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! I am transcending , my old self fading More than human I feel now, above all men, you will bow Visions, of other worlds are filling all my mind I can feel their purity - I need it. It will be mine! The gates are not opening, the stars are not right "we just want a taste of you, it's pointless to fight" Tentacles appearing from the chasm below engulfing me and grabbing me not letting me go It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! All this power It's yours! To devour It's yours! Walk through fire It's mine! My desire!! It's yours! All this power It's yours! To devour It's yours! Walk through fire It's mine! My desire!! I'm walking through fire, this knowledge is power I can feel it in my skin, filling it with energy The madness consumes me, the blackness amuses me falling into the eternal void crying and laughing, overjoyed It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! All this power It's yours! It's yours! To devour It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! It's yours! All this power It's yours! It's yours! Walk through fire It's yours! It's yours! All this power It's yours!It's yours! To devour It's yours!It's yours! It's yours! It's mine!

Staring into the black abyss that my soul blissfully fills looking for the truth it reveals I am, to fix all things I! I am the one, I have the right to deal with your life You! You'll do as I command You'll get in line my will you'll abide Don't stand in my way sheep you are ready to be slain and if you don't obey I'll just call it Heresy! Into the blasphemous abyss truth lies behind all this religion - what a fix no addict can resist " Look for the signs... when the stars are right we'll join in space and time... we'll fly" Don't stand in my way sheep you are ready to be slain and if you don't obey I'll just call it Heresy!

Spread your lies their demise we will rise we are servants to oblivion Spread your lies their demise we will rise we are servants to oblivion blinded eyes gaze the skies we will rise we are the ones who will linger on Choose! For what you will fight darkness or light must we decide? Need! Need to survive on bodies I'll lie limbo on my side Don't stand in my way sheep you are ready to be slain and if you don't obey I'll just call it Heresy! Into the blasphemous abyss truth lies behind all this religion - what a fix no addict can resist Spread your lies their demise we will rise we are servants to oblivion blinded eyes gaze the skies we will rise we are the ones who will linger on I see the truth, the void calls my mind begins to sooth I see the truth, no more lost souls welcome the ancients ones Spread your lies their demise we will rise we are servants to oblivion blinded eyes gaze the skies we will rise we are servants to the ancient ones

Crashing waves, on the surface the earth bursts with energy down below, another world one you'll never know sleeping, stirring, dreaming for eternity Blasphemous and amorphous moving through the cosmic sea oblivious and hideous these are timeless beings moving through eternity Gnawing through space and time until the stars align numbing the mind - we're in line Cyclopean walls of terror oozing green blocks of hell non-Euclidean walls of terror ones you'd never thought feasting on the dreams of my mind Back in time, upon the slime survival instincts fight with rage nature's own slaves and masters seeding, planting, breeding on this rocky cage Not dead - which eternal lie Buried - deep in my mind Time - is standing still No more - fear for you to feel "Welcome to oblivion" Violent life, of constant fight setting our posture straight trying to rise - never the wise seeking new ground always earthbound Gnawing through space and time until the stars align numbing the mind, we're in line Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Not dead - which eternal lie Buried - deep in my mind Time - is standing still No more - fear for you to feel "Welcome to oblivion" Crashing waves, on the surface the earth bursts with energy down below, another world one you'll never know sleeping, stirring, dreaming for eternity Blasphemous and amorphous moving through the cosmic sea oblivious and hideous these are timeless beings moving through eternity Not dead - which eternal lie Buried - deep in my mind Time - is standing still No more - fear for you to feel "Welcome to oblivion"

Survival 06:04
Eyes... Stripped of lies wide with fear the abyss stares back at my soul I am alive frozen in time memories taunt and haunt Eyes locked in this place of eternal fight the blackness in me takes hold - soon to rise the dreams I had were only for a child now I'm a man rusted - a misanthrope Look in my cave dig up the bones I used to carry survival instincts for me and my sons born on this mud crawling our way in a race to last and obey Eyes locked in this place of eternal fight the blackness in me takes hold - soon to rise the dreams I had were only for a child now I'm a man rusted - a misanthrope On this rock I stand and see my kingdom stretches far out within me caged memories strive to be free Oh, be enslaved by your humanity In this life - I see you In this life - I am not you In this life - I kill you In this life - death is for you In this life - I see you Hate! In this life - I am not you Hate! In this life - death is for you On this rock I stand and see my kingdom stretches stretches for me In this life - I see you In this life - I am not you In this life - I kill you In this life - “death is for you” Eyes... Stripped of lies wide with fear holding me back the end is near I am alive frozen in time memories taunt and haunt Eyes locked in this place of eternal fight the blackness in me takes hold - soon to rise the dreams I had were only for a child now I'm a man rusted - a misanthrope

Floating out into the vastness of space swirling around - the colors - in a hypnotic haze passing through planets - life in an embryonic state suns burning bright - the darkness remains The black hole is calling my name drawing near pulling me towards my fate out of the nebula where new stars reign into the event horizon the limit - no more sane Going in - I feel nothing Past and present the gift they give to me Going in - galaxies exploding birth and death embracing infinity Going in - I feel nothing Past and present the gift they give to me Going in - galaxies exploding birth and death embracing infinity Daydreaming in the abyss Daydreaming in the abyss Ah, the majestic - cosmos hidden from our skies a veil, an illusion stomping on our lives - mean nothing - spent - wasted energy needed to visit all there is Ah, the majestic - cosmos hidden from our skies a veil, an illusion stomping on our lives - mean nothing - spent - wasted energy needed to visit all there is

“The time draws near” I see you... Creeping from inside me thoughts in my mind calling to my humanity Too late... They are coming Speaking clearer now I've been given my instructions - it's time Masters! Can you hear them? Can you feel them? We are paving the way for the end Masters! We all need them I'll guide them and my flock will prey - you'll obey till mind's numb - all the way It's voice... Fills my mind bathing it in ecstasy Orders given to me how to alter our destiny I see clearer now objections gone I've been given my instructions - it's time Masters! Can you hear them? Can you feel them? We are paving the way for the end Masters! We all need them I'll guide them and my flock will prey - you'll obey till mind's numb - all the way I see the light no more mistakes world's end in sight still think it's the snake? New world is coming architects - old ones surrender our will to you will Obey! Now! Resist no more see the truth written in the skies new world is coming built by the old ones surrender you will to them you're our Masters! Can you hear them? Can you feel them? We are paving the way for the end Masters! We all need them I'll guide them and my flock will prey - you'll obey till mind's numb - all the way

Pushing through time millennia go by chaos is rising the worlds in decline Drift gets bigger as galaxies move apart the chasm is forming now from the abyss gods will march.. and march Moving through space and time as the abyss unfolds the gods will sweep our lives feeling good or bad never think like that I see the signs everywhere you look malice in disguise lies! Trick our lives no more black and white Live in oblivion! Amorphous shapes blocking the suns gliding in vacuum thoughts of the old ones racing in my mind "the time is coming near" gelatin bodies will petrify you with fear Moving through space and time as the abyss unfolds the gods will sweep our lives feeling good or bad never think like that I see the signs everywhere you look malice in disguise lies! Trick our lives the stars align no more black and white Live! Live in...Live... Live ... Live.... Live in... Oblivion! "Come on now! Bring the book, it's time the stars align Let's set the stage I will recite, words of old and you'll join in my friends here they come" "Behold the Gods" Hey! Hey! Hey! Second thoughts rot my soul where were you the time before? We left the world a living hell It's late now, reset the time set the record straight again don't look back Hey! Oh no, what you do is not really you Let you're light shine through Human kind is divine - don't let go No! What you say is not for me Let's keep it - Dark! So the light will never shine Just let it go Hey! Let it Go Hey! Go! Hey! Let it Go!

about

"On Human Devolution" is a concept album consisting of 8 songs with a total duration of 48 min.
The music "borrows" elements from various genres of metal
(thrash, death, black ) in order to tell a story and although H.P.Lovecraft's
Cthulhu mythos is used as the base for the main story, the lyrics are more
of the socio-political kind, describing the self-destructing nature of humans. Will humans be free or enslaved in the end?
If you have read Lovectarft's novels maybe you have an idea how it will play out, although it is not the destination that matters but the journey, right?
