Arcturus Sideshow Symphonies Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies (2005) 1. Hibernation Sickness Complete probing a voiceless void searching for a closure poisoned tentecles from the past are tumbling closer mood set on full scale regret peaking an all time low distorted patterns no sight with this latern but a bleak recollection of something undone a banished vanished presence of the unspeakable secretive kind the uttermost shame is its essence the septic transforms the shellshocked and blind a nightmare released a terrible disease lurking behind a thin wall of sleep the jail-bars of a stimatized keep across the crumbling layers a tricky haze of control beyond matter the untouchable scatter the cracks are beginning to show small gaps out of time with riddlers entwined looking over my shoulder for some kind of cover all I can find to bring peace of mind is that this bloodstained route will carry the strangest of fruits not to turtn away tainted but look into the deep and weep hibernation sickness complete 2. Shipwrecked Frontier Pioneer mechanical shutdown due to reactorcore meltdown and outdated parts collapsed and discharged autopilot on emergency power from random fuel devoured red alert sirens sighing rusty pipelines dying empty hull shatter into cold dark matter unknownspacepioneer the end draws near what once was acrobatically flying is now burnt out and dying now that I am shipwrecked a piece of shit falling through space and time moaning oh why oh why did not I just stop in time knowing the answer I am dirty as a cancer once a virus like me is set free old grim flashes his grin and violently introduces a shortcut for loosers drop all illusions as I pop the next fuse in confusion trenscending the mind evolving past mankind unknownspceadorer toxicwasteexplorer lost in free will time stand still full front on drifting hire in the outer rim as a piece of spacejunk no valuables within a scraphead of sin too much acid in these batteries leaking out its filthy grease disband all current settings to standard default fall and arise you diamond of lies you know what is wise fire or ice that\'s when I find hyperspace-central-divine a pitstopmaintenance hall for the mind satanic protectors of my kind I shop some new parts re plugged and charged I head towards the stars knowing that this trip will be my last slip 3. Deamonpainter walking among shadows shady characters of faded casts acting out their last role beautyful lonely stars these are my people these fallen stars you may think you see us you never had a part flickering performance on a burning stage in naked daylight for you to hate directing the audience I paint in tones of gray in shades of black in cold dismay I paint my deamons as scars of blood in a barren landscape where all is lost 4. Nocturnal Vision Revisited the echoes of a dream I dreamt in a distant past is here at last drowning me fast why are ripples so old and vast catching up to me? what did I see? the tower of life, or was it death erected by the sea the spawn of the earth was flocking to some went to the top others halted up at different levels people threw themselves at the waves and when they fill in they were all dead as a sin I climbed up to the very top wanting to see all that can be why waste a wicked view when after all all and all to our death will fall to our death we fall this foretelling I knew to be deeper than words and true as pain hurts now I am in free flight it does not feel right no time to think i\'ll be gone in a wink in between waking and true sleep what I find I treasure and keep the tower of wisdom the fall to the deep 5. Evacuation Code Dechipered change channel I am bored again take five and restart the game I suggest a different approach remake the world with a devilish touch evolution is a too slow ghost relax and sit back I am your new host fantastic elastic all things can be spastic no room for bore press enter and store we live in small shells put that on a shelf e.s.p. for all big and small saga-lore mature splendor ragamuffin saga-puffin all you can snort electric eyes for sparkling flies will be much more fun for the rejects and dumb so what do you change in your realm of decadence king or queen or something snotty inbetween worlds shatter to darkness without matter no matter no matter we stole too far from home rid your shoulders of this stone which direction is up what way to the top it seems we are lost this is no place to linger let your throat embrace your finger evacuate this tomb there is always an exit for aliens infected our race seems we crashed on the way two dried up bugs trapped in the same web slimy slugs on a busy rainy highway you and I are not lost without words we can live again without rebirth two old drunks sharing the same cup a pair of fools sailing where no wind blows a band of burglars staling traces from their lost shoes 6. Moonshine Delerium third night in flight my body says no but my mind says go moonshine delerium what is that lurking behind the curtain there at an instant the gone with a flash defeating all resistance something there I can not grasp there is no tomorrow gone beyond sorrow under a sheltering mask hail to you thousand faced all trapped in the haze dandies bandits tramps and champs beloved freaks and cheeky sneaks homeless heroes without dineros vampire fools and exotic ghouls mongoshiftfacedtabletwisters salut! and open chute 7. White Noise Monster crowded mind working overtime in a shrinking stinking home a presence arrives just out of sight hides in the maze collects all mistakes white noise withering weeds of deeds worshipping wild filth in the temple of guilt filing its womb with pleasure and doom monstrous urban paranoia sweeping over my mine-field mind triggering random horrors cause and effect is a bittersweet sect and I am a priest of loons and carrier of wounds a battle fatigued random seed placed on this earth and fucked up from birth who gives a flying shit anyway in a room without view I cold-sweat and drew my theories of everything and anything would do reading the mind of mankind\'s deamon pushing the line forward all the time a deep-space satellite on light-speed depressed torn and obsessed by a lifetime of jests 8.
