Start The Fire

He thought he was a ghost
Undiagnosed
Caught inside the blur
Here but never home
He did everything to coexist
Limb by limb, bit by bit
He didn’t lose the plot
The plot lost him
Now he’s crossed the wire
Broken by design
Out of order
Out of order
Now he’s crossed the wire
Lights the fuse, to start the fire
Out of order
Out of order
Through the mirror of his eyes
He sees the world in black and white
He thinks it’s all so clear
But it’s a trick of the light
He’ll thrash against the tide
Obliged to disobey
Will no longer be denied
He’s a levy about to break
Now he’s crossed the wire
Broken by design
Out of order
Out of order
Now he’s crossed the wire
Lights the fuse, to start the fire
Out of order
Out of order
Lights are off
And all the exits are closed
He’s become the thing he fears the most
And someone else is always there
To wear the blame

Long Way Home

Get away!
You're like a fart with a face
Get away!
Get away!
A glitch in the tape
Get away!
Get away!
I don't know where I left the antidote
Now my day's a sea of cortisol
It turns my head into a cannon ball
So far to FALL!
We'll be taking the long way home
Your head grenade might detonate and ricochet
We'll be taking the long way home
The table guests all made requests we can't digest
We'll be taking the long way home
Keep inside the ride and give your little arms a lullaby
We'll be taking the long way home
Relax into our psychodrome catacomb
I take a left although I signal right
I like the pressure when the walls collide
I ate a diamond and it broke my jaw
But it won't break the FALL!
Thank you for great service
I feel so relieved
Guaranteed
I'm off to buy a gun and be offended
We'll be taking the long way home
Your head grenade might detonate and ricochet
We'll be taking the long way home
The table guests all made requests we can't digest
We'll be taking the long way home
Keep inside the ride and give your little arms a lullaby
We'll be taking the long way home
Relax into our psychodrome catacomb
LONG WAY HOME!
Get away!
We are reversed
Get away!
Get away!
I'll eat the universe
Get away!

Vengeance
03:27
|
|||
|
I can hear the neon lights
I can taste the sweat and dirt
I am shackled to this bed
Burned out like a cigarette
I can hear the locking door
You've thrown me to the wolves
The taste of blood is on their breath
And in the air
I dream of…
Vengeance
I'll watch you burn
I'll bring you hell
Hate is the dirt that I’ll bury you with
From the grave that I dig for myself
You watch me like an animal
Flesh and bones I am the prey
And I've dreamed you've died a thousand times
In this bed you made
I dream of…
Vengeance.
I'll watch you burn
I'll bring you hell
Hate is the dirt that I’ll bury you with
From the grave that I dig for myself
I’m an apparition
A ghost
You’re not gonna take me alive
I’m an insurrection
A ghost
You’re not gonna take me alive
I'll watch you burn
I'll bring you hell
Hate is the dirt that I’ll bury you with
From the grave that I dig for myself

I live in a cube
Consuming a dream
Intravenously hooked on dopamemes
I phish
It's a vice
And there’s always a catch
I’m looking for release
But I trigger attack
N’ I can't refuse the glow of a darker place
And what could be better on a bad day?
Oh
Can you comment on my memories?
Long gone
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be
N’ I can’t refuse the glow of a darker place
And what could be better on a bad day?
IDK
I’m outta control
I’m outta my head
When I connect and disengage
Hey!
I’m outta control
I’m outta my head
When I connect and waste away
I'm a setting sun
#bestlife, blessedlife, nofilter, flawless, fun
Can’t refuse the warmth of cold escape
And what could be better on a bad day?
How far down does it go
At the deep end?
IDK
I’m outta control
I’m outta my head
When I connect and disengage
Hey!
I’m outta control
I’m outta my head
When I connect and waste away
The higher ground's a step away
But I won't ever change
IDK
I DECAY!

Shock To The System
03:19
|

Today you take the first step
On your journey to transcendence
The future’s here right now
The doorway to perfection
You inhale the stream of data
Click click click we’ll jack you in
Sit back, enjoy the drama
Click click click don’t stop rewind
You’ll assimilate the mantra
The enlightened panorama
Tick tick tick enjoy the ride
Tick tick tick…
It's a..
shock to the system
It lights you up
It turns you on
It’s a shock to the system
The new frontier
Will give you everything you need
The time to act is now
Upgrade to turn your life around
As the world is growing darker
You can mitigate disaster
Order now, while there’s still time
Tick tick tick...
it's a..
Shock to the system
It lights you up
It turns you on
It’s a shock to the system
You may feel the pinch
But it will be everything you need
If ascendance is your wettest dream
Then your satisfaction is guaranteed
Shock to the system
The new frontier
Will give you everything you need
I spin towards the my grand demise
And my erasure
A matter of time
So if there is a way to circumvent
My imminent impending death
Then I will pay whatever it requires
If life is malleable
And longevity is valuable
Then I will have defeated father time
My prime will be the afterlife
I'll probably outlive my wife
And I will claim my riches to be mine
I'm holding all the cards
And I am reaching for the stars
And I am infinitely better
Riding high
Thank science for the blessing
There can be no second guessing
I become a God
One with the hive
It's a…
Shock to the system
It burns you up
It shuts you down
It’s a shock to the system
The new frontier
Is void of humanity
If your evolution is technology
Then your destruction is guaranteed
Shock to the system
The brave new world
Is one where you're history

Gone
03:24
|

|
I bail out
And take off
In the desert dust behind me
The hounds are trying to sniff out my wrongs
I'm walking a wire
If I step one foot out of place
They will feed me to the afterlife
I punch it into the future
I'm gunnin’ straight for the borderline
I've got no time for indecision
I've got to keep moving on
I'm gone, gone, gone
I've got no time for redemption
Adios
And so long
In a blink
It was done
How quickly anger turns to prayer
Staring down the business end of a gun
The sweat of remorse
He deserved a one way ticket to Jesus
So I passed one on
I cut and run to the future
I'm gunnin’ straight for the borderline
I've got no time for indecision
I've got to keep moving on
I'm gone, gone, gone
I've got no time for redemption
Namaste
And so long
A sinner with a scandalous face
This world is just a dive
Where everyone knows my name
Oh, I've got no time for redemption
Auf Wiedersehen,
And so long,
I've got no time for crucifixion,
I am a son of a gun,
I'm gone, gone, gone,
I've got no time for confession,
What I've done, I have done.
A sinner with a scandalous face,
This world is just a dive,
Where everyone knows my name,
No, I've got no time for redemption,
Goodbye,
And so long.

Culture War
03:37

The last straw
(Lock-jawed)
Ataraxis by chainsaw
Dead calm
(Fuck bomb)
Guillotine confetti
Epileptic nailgun
Possessed
(Protest)
Set the horde ablaze
Rise in riot
Clotted brain
Post traumatic stress
Doused
To the bone
Finding out
How fire burns
It didn’t occur to me
Ideas can be disease
Terminal
Dogma off the chain
And it never occurred to me
Deceit becomes belief in unknowns
Culture war cocaine
Unspoken
(Broken open)
Beaten down and letting go
Punch drunk
(Gun dumb)
Those lynch mob parrots
Run down everyone
Hang the fuckin' simpletons
Just string em’ up
By their martyrdom
Hate arrives
In waves of blood
Breaking in demon dust
Haunted
Maimed, fractured, false
Feared, afraid
Punctured head
Fucked by nightmares
Fucked by righteous dickheads
Bring it!
Write your pain
On an effigy
Burn it alive…
I always wanted to belong
I didn't want to be invisible
I didn't want to be the one
The loaded gun
I didn't want for this to be my truth
See what you made me do?!
It didn’t occur to me
Ideas can be disease
Terminal
Dogma off the chain
And it never occurred to me
Deceit becomes belief in unknowns
Culture war cocaine!
Write your pain on an effigy
Burn it alive!

Dead End
03:43
|
|||
|
I’ve gone and done that thing again
Put life on hold to ride a dead horse
I go down
In seconds
I killed my darlings in a fit of rage
Sacrificed them all to be God
I go down
In seconds
I’m running away
Gotta’ get out of here
But I’m resistant to the change (Dead end)
So it all stays the same (Dead end)
I don’t really wanna know
Gotta get out of here
But I’m resistant to the change (Dead end)
So it all stays the same (Dead end)
And around and around it goes
I’ll avoid the truth again
Burn the bridge I’m hanging from
And it all blows up
In seconds
I’d rather be delusional
Than admit that I’ve been wrong
And it all blows up
In seconds
Do I even know what I believe?
Or do I believe what I know?

Breathe in
Breath out
Breathe in
Breath out
I feel you here
The sky explodes
Waves rise below
Your voice
It shouts inside my head
You draw me close to the edge
I can't fight it
Can't hide
It's everywhere that I go
You're the devil in my blood
Over and out
You call me
You call me
I'm not afraid
Over and out
You call me
You call me
Over and out
I close my eyes
And feel the storm
See myself in the arms of the sea
You wrap your hands around me now
And pull me down beneath
I can't fight it
Can't hide
It's everywhere that I go
You're the devil in my blood
Over and out
You call me
You call me
I'm not afraid
Over and out
You call me
You call me
Over and out
Breathe in
Breath out
Turn inside out
You're the devil in my blood
Over and out
You call me
You call me
I'm not afraid
Over and out
You call me
You call me
Over and out
Reverie
That's all that we are
And will ever be
Bending it back to a memory
Forever returning
And never getting out of here
Let go!
Breathe in
Breath out
Breathe in
Breath out

Tangled
03:06
|
|||
|
She’s lost in the mirror
Her face looking thinner
Through bloodshot eyes
The person within her
Is buried alive
The river of time keeps on flowin'
But I need her to know even though it breaks me in two
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for the night ahead
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for it all to end
She's lost in the river
Adrift in surrender
So close to the end
She's released now
There's nothing left
The river of time keeps on flowin'
But I need her to know even though it breaks me in two
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for the night ahead
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for it all to end
We're all afraid of the unknown
To let love go
Let love go
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for the night ahead
I'll be here with you
When you're tangled in the twilight
Waiting for it all to end

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on. 10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come.

Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic
by The Ocean
supported by 41 fans who also own “Vengeance”
The Ocean est maître du Temps et de l'Histoire : le collectif avait annoncé comme une prophétie la sortie de Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic pour 2020 et rien, pas même le cataclysme viral, ne l'aura empêché de le sortir en 2020. Mais The Ocean est aussi maître du post-metal : cet album nous fait traverser avec virtuosité le règne des dinosaures, leur extinction (avec tant d'émotions !), le chaos puis l'apparition de ces étranges créatures qui pensaient contrôler le soleil... Magistral !
