There's a thought that has come to haunt
The demon that keeps one awake:
"What if all higher intelligence possessed
an innate drive for self-destruction?
What would be the value of life,
when the world spirit itself speaks?
Individual's price,
when humanity takes its next great leap?"
"For ain't it evident
that the dynamics of progress
are best portrayed in the images
of nooses and guillotines?
And thus would the horizon
of mushroom clouds mark
the final atonement and rationale
behind history"
"What's the value of life,
when the world spirit itself speaks?
Individual's price,
when humanity takes its next great leap?"
When melancholy overwhelms
Into the stars I gaze
I find it poetic
How those thousands of fallen civilizations
gaze back at me
There's a thought that has come to haunt
What if our collective will
was one of extinction?
So, we're to face the paradox:
Weltgeist driven by Thanatos
The Anima mundi revealing itself
in all its...
...malevolence
Through technology
Malevolent is true technology
When melancholy overwhelms
Into the stars I gaze
I find it poetic
How those thousands of fallen civilizations
gaze back at me
So, we're to face the paradox:
Weltgeist driven by Thanatos
Extinction as an expression
of our collective will
- How a laconism
with no moral lesson
turns into a scream of terror!

A New Leviathan
04:40
|

Witnessing the end of history
Where the dialectic of masters and slaves
Finally ceases in the enslavement of all
Brought forth by the birth of the...
World-sovereign
The world-sovereign
World-sovereign
Leviathan!
Insectiform, claustrophobic twisting and turning
of the bodies trapped in the corpus mundi
Appalled we stand as the general will
manifests in the form of a monstrous regime
Leviathan finally unbound by states or laws
preconditions of a police state without a state
reach completion through the all-transcending
forces of technology and capital
Harnessed for world domination
Implement planetary reign
Its inner logic of power
Deems your rights frivolous
World-sovereign
The world-sovereign
World-sovereign
Leviathan!
Leviathan:
Data harvested, tracked, indexed, analyzed, stored
Panoptics - The omnipresent instruments of surveillance
Monitored, identified, biometric recognition, profiled
Detected - Several indicators of potential dissent
Witnessing the end of history
A new horizon has appeared
A totality with its own inner logic
And us as its countable functions
World-sovereign
The world-sovereign
World-sovereign
Leviathan!
Leviathan:
Suspected, a security concern, creating adverse social impacts
Charged with - Inciting subversion to the state's power
Detained, prosecuted, convicted, now serving the sentence
Threat eliminated - System stability successfully restored
Against Leviathan, against the corruption of reason!

For all those, dreaming these dreams
of freedom and tyrannicide
Where all new questions lead to an old dilemma
of how to fight monsters, without turning
into a monster oneself?
As obviously so seems to be my fate,
but I'm about to jump into the flames of insurgence
where the voiceless claim their say
What would then be the use of a manifesto?
"With only questions, no solutions at all"
Written in a language so foreign
That words would fall deaf upon their ears
It's the problem with words
The writing of which
Wouldn't require a blood sacrifice
Innocent blood to be drawn
So, there it is! The dismal conclusion
that violence is the universal language
every animal is able to speak and understand
And, as sad as it might sound, for most of us the only
Thus getting oneself heard
requires mastering these linguistics
The art of the tyrant's tongue
Dialect of monstrosity
How a desperate scream
Is morphed into a command!
Kytee syömmessäin raivo!
Välkkää vihan valkia!
Apoteoosini kipinä ja tahto sytyttää maailma paloon!
Jossa vihdoin poltetaan elävältä eilisen opit
ja vihon viimeinenkin usko ihmiseen!
Eläköön anarkia ja veriset vaatteet, saatana!
Anarkia, veriset vaatteet ja Saatana!

C9H18O6 - Mother of Satan
We've studied the roots
of the thought of our time
and witnessed our own thoughts
turn into crimes
We've entered into an initiation,
the process of metamorphosis
from men into acetone peroxide
C9H18O6 - Mother of Satan
We're turning into those
who are ready to strap themselves with bombs,
run into a crowd and literally
explode of rage!
Panic, the sound of the sirens
and the sight of you mourning for your loss
is justice manifesting through chaos
Limbs ripped, eyesight lost
Your false sense of security
Limbs ripped, eyesight lost
Your false sense of security
Once and for all gone!
C9H18O6 - Mother of Satan
Limbs ripped, eyesight lost
Your false sense of security
Limbs ripped, eyesight lost
Your false sense of security
Once and for all gone!

In fanaticism we sought disillusion,
cracks in their logic of power
That primordial sense of oneness
where the primitive and the occult combine
Dwell here, return home
into the dissolution of the self
and the destruction of others
with their just and moral order of restraint
The siren's call of satisfying
An untamed and wild impulse
Possessed by a horned god
Of madness and ecstasy
Look at what your sons and daughters have become!
How the liberal upbringing
and the surrounding security
couldn't root out these impulses
Through which chaos itself
seeks its way into the world
as psychological predispositions
for committing acts of terror
Incipit Dionysos!
The siren's call of satisfying
An untamed and wild impulse
Possessed by a horned god
Of madness and ecstasy
The strike into the heart of Leviathan
Mother of Satan gave birth to tyrannicide
And faith found its reasons in frenzy
"Monsters, Übermenschen?"
- Neither!
Yet, fanatics, knights of faith
We've written another page
in the books of history
Bloody, predictable yet unignorable,
an homage to witches and heretics
The madmen and the terrorists
Who'll forever forge the world into their image
In the demiurgic fires
Fires of defiance!
Daemons of dissent!
Gods of resistance!
