lyrics

From a vantage point near infinity
The ability to see these other worldly projections

I am The Oracle, transhuman being
I was shunned as the devil, so you feared me
I can be your saviour so you will love me

Breaking through a vow, the reaction is everywhere
Providing a guiding wave
I can teach you to ride it and be free

I am the Oracle, with sight unseen
I was there at the beginning and know the ending deemed
I could be your destroyer, so you will hate me
But I came from nothing so you will forget me

Shadows and walls, became the same
A dream of the present is a vision of terminal change

There is wonder; a wonder why and wonder how
Energy is transposed but remains a burning flame, sacred but tamed

Now look through others’ eyes , one occasion everyday
To penetrate bias; accuracy from lies
I was there when fire ruled the sky

When I think of the majesty of the oceans
I am struck by the beauty in violence and the fractal complexity
Of every eventuality, here are but a few

about

Monsterworks London, UK

MONSTERWORKS : has unashamedly stolen from a ludicrous number of metal sub-genres to create a truly unique beast. Be it thrash, death, old-school, prog or black metal, there is something for everyone. Expect wailing guitars, wailing screams and a pounding rhythm section, delivered by a four-man war of sound. Surely they can’t be serious? ... more

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

These guy's love the Devin townsend's Epic sound Which sounds as if its from another reality, And they make their own Hyper yet drifting Similar to seeing a comet whizzing by the atmosphere. A joy to witness but over, As soon as the majesty of it all sinks in! John Chaos Alexander
