There is a corridor hidden inside
The deepest bowels of the ship
There within the one resides,
The one who conjures our well being
Enter into the realms that you’ve never seen, and no one has gone before
Though we don’t know what we’ll find, we believe our ancestors are already there
Here we find our way to an open mind, freedom to see what we’ve not seen before
The tales of us and stories are written before our eyes
The doctor’s in and you are his patient, hear him now, he’s calling you
So step inside and see all his trinkets, gaze into his darkened room
There’s potions, drinks, elixirs, and medicine brewing in the catacombs
So come receive a change of fate and lift your spirits or death will come to you
Now that you have been acquainted I must go
For I cannot bear to see the things that he will do to you
Shut the door and lock with key, and then here soon
The ancient gates are opening and they will take you too
Enter into the realms that you’ve never seen, and no one has gone before
Though we don’t know what we’ll find, we believe our ancestors are already there
Here we find our way to an open mind, freedom to see what we’ve not seen before
The tales of us and stories are written before our eyes
The doctor’s in and you are his patient, hear him now, he’s calling you
So step inside and see all his trinkets, gaze into his darkened room
There’s potions, drinks, elixirs, and medicine brewing in the catacombs
So come receive a change of fate and lift your spirits or death will come to you
Death will come greet you!
Here we enter
realms that have appeared
throw down the chalice
drink the remedy
Here we enter
realms that have appeared
throw down the chalice
drink the remedy
The doctor’s in and you are his patient, hear him now, he’s calling you
So step inside and see all his trinkets, gaze into his darkened room
There’s potions, drinks, elixirs, and medicine brewing in the catacombs
So come receive a change of fate and lift your spirits or death will come to you
The Doctor will see you!

I recall the heroes that came before
On a mission of knowledge and hope they were
No one had heard from them in years
That they had perished summed up our fears
But still, a spark remained within
To see the universe again
Beholding glory right there before me
And the majesty begins
Alert! Alarm! Pulled from reverie
Panels flashing lights before me
These instruments I can barely read
Seems we’ve met the enemy
The infection has spread, no way to save our friend
Soon he will be dead, does this mean we face our end?
I hear the crew lament, that vanished has their hope
It's hard not to commiserate, we are so far from home
This is your captain speaking, much aggrieved I am
The stories you've heard are true, no fear I have a plan
I can't accept the tragedy, I will guide us through
I think I know the astronomy, remind me again, what's this button do?
Passed through into energy, I know our hope is gone
Without our navigator I fear we are lost
Far beyond the black unending void of space
It seems to me our Captain's gone insane
Madness ends, gives way to sanity
(These visions entrance my state)
Panels flashing lights before me
(Could this mean the end? Is this our fate?)
These instruments I can barely read
(Like an alien riddle, unbeknownst to me)
Innocents from mortality I freed
(Seems to be we are the enemy)
Lodestone around my neck
Like the sailor in that old song
I won't, I can't forget
Just how it all went wrong
Like from a nightmare
It’s so hard to stay awake
Activate particle accelerator
Must survive and satiate
Neutrino beam annihilates
Teeth bared grinning wide
Abject hunger in our eyes
Amid misfortune we shall thrive
In deafening silence
A case of sudden violence
Adrenaline begins to fade
Looks like mistakes were made
I think that they all know
What's done is done
You see, our stocks are low
The pillage has begun
Passed through into energy, I know our hope is gone
Without our navigator I fear we are lost
Far beyond the black unending void of space
It seems to me our Captain's gone insane
Madness ends, gives way to sanity
(These visions entrance my state)
Panels flashing lights before me
(Could this mean the end? Is this our fate?)
These instruments I can barely read
(Like an alien riddle, unbeknownst to me)
Innocents from mortality I freed
(Seems to be we are the enemy)

We, Visitors

See through the watcher's eye
For shards beyond the sky
In a glorious path
Just out of reach
So speak out in wonder
In this precarious plunder
As we sail towards the
Cosmic beach
Lost in a labyrinth maze
(Mind so twisted, I'm in a daze)
Go back to where you came
(Mass confusion you won't be the same)
Endless realm of sand and space
(Don't get caught in her embrace)
Submit your mind and give into your hate
(Now go forth open the gates)
It's on the tip of my tongue
I've seen all this before
Pyramids and giant beings
Adorned a place of lore
Lost in a labyrinth maze
(Mind so twisted, I'm in a daze)
Go back to where you came
(Mass confusion you won't be the same)
Endless realm of sand and space
(Don't get caught in her embrace)
Submit your mind and give into your hate
(Now go forth open the gates)
(Time
An illusion we find
Keeps us confined
Until we die)
Trying to regain equilibrium
Their planet's now a mausoleum
Long ago to terran sand they came
Planting seeds creating life from dreams
Dying off too soon to colonize
The portal's closed their pharaohs left to die
Corpses of their gods remain
Whispering madness into our brains
Lost in a labyrinth maze
(Mind so twisted, I'm in a daze)
Go back to where you came
(Mass confusion you won't be the same)
Endless realm of sand and space
(Don't get caught in her embrace)
Submit your mind and give into your hate
(Now go forth open the gates)

My emptiness holding
A machine with scars
This construct is held together
By shimmering black matter
One light year more
And it will be
The furthest I have been from home
What's in store
We shall see
What's within the burning dome
Secrets inside
All that I
Have yearned so long to find
Esoteric minds
Seeking truth
Unlocking mysteries of time
Seek and you will find
Progress of the mind
What did we leave behind
But our connection with mankind
We are the guests of sea-dreams
With peace we mean no harm
To lords of sentient beings
Show to us your charms
“Go forth and see the relic.
What does it tell you?”
Visions past comprehension
Beyond the stars and moons
And we fly
Through thunderous clouds
That complement my design
(Or fall to the top of the trees)
As we soar
Through space and time
Wash up in the arms of the cosmic shore
(Or crushed by the event horizon)
Wondrous bliss
Embracing the stars
And the yawning abyss
That echoes forever
Can you hear it?
The clockwork harmony
Of cosmic symphonies
Calling to me
And we fly
Through thunderous clouds
That complement my design
(Or fall to the top of the trees)
As we soar
Through space and time
Wash up in the arms of the cosmic shore
(Or crushed by the event horizon)

Antithesis Syndrome

A silent schism
Has ruptured my brain
Foul temptations
Leave me insane
I shouldn't do it
I shouldn't remiss
Mind colliding
Into the abyss
This vile yearning
Wraps up my soul
The Cotard's growing
And I've lost all control
Collecting my thoughts
Until I relapse
Just get it over
Before I collapse
When your arms reach out
(Of their own accord)
To touch and fondle
(What you can't afford)
Like a horror film
(Don't open the door)
Can't help myself! We've seen it before!
Needing to see
(What shouldn't be seen)
Reeling in ecstasy
(From habits unclean)
Like a horror film
(Don't open the door)
Can't help myself! We've seen it before!
Perhaps on paper
I can get it all out
A lust for comfort
I still have my doubts
My thoughts are wicked
The tumor remains
Emotions dissolve
I'm feeling no pain
The voices screaming
I can't get away
All of my regrets
Are here to stay
I have to contain
The cancer in me
I need my Virgil
And Calliope
When your arms reach out
(Of their own accord)
To touch and fondle
(What you can't afford)
Like a horror film
(Don't open the door)
Can't help myself! We've seen it before!
Needing to see
(What shouldn't be seen)
Reeling in ecstasy
(From habits unclean)
Like a horror film
(Don't open the door)
Can't help myself! We've seen it before!
And so your mind has finally snapped
Now that you know you truly are trapped
An ember burns deep within
A fire that you deserve to be in

Your vision fading, life is decaying
The water pulls you deeper, you'll be eternal sleeper
Your body's growing colder, heartbeat is getting slower
Your lips are turning blue, now you are dying too

I can see all
The thoughts inside your head
You don’t know
If you’re asleep or dead
Let’s just assume
That it is for the best
The maggots needed
A cold heart to rest
Let’s sleep through the night
When there’s no will to fight
Let us just compromise
If you should even still be alive
Welcome all to the masquerade
Hide your face with mask and shade
Drink and dance until you fall
Thus begins the end of it all
(I cannot believe that nobody sees
You can change your face with surprising ease
Shivering in fright. No more will to fight.
This unending night of eternal blight.
I can see your eyes, judging through disguise
Every move you make seems to undermine
This reality, its conformity
To what my own eyes perceive)
Let’s sleep through the night
When there’s no will to fight
Let us just compromise
If you should even still be alive
I can see
Infinity
Where darkness dwells
It’s drawing nearer
Shadows of forgotten pasts
Time is short
It’s becoming clearer
But with my hand I shall seize
And take command of this hypocrisy!
No more lies! No more deceit!
I’ll take my pride, whilst I rest beneath
And so we shall dance
To mutual decline
We’ll sway hand in hand
With hearts so maligned
‘Til the dance becomes deadly
To all those around
With a love like Pagliacci
I’ve become your clown

The Crucible

Darkness is inside of me
Spirits whisper cold melodies
As they swim through frozen night sky
If your soul is clean and bright
They shall not take your name
And the sun will shine its golden rays
When the wind blows past your home
They shall not take your name
And the moon will break its olden curse
Darkness is no longer here

Take my hand, open your eyes
Behold the secret, beyond the veil of time
Join me in space
(Let me inside, I'll open your mind)
Gazing beyond
(Harmonious waltz, a clockwork perfection)
Your insignificance
(You fumble in folly, your kind is so blind)
Supernova
It's cold
And the sun hurts my eyes
I'm naked
Shivering in the morning dew
Like a crack in our windshield
A split in reality
Blinding light bleeding through
Let's see something new
A moment that goes on for ages
Like a glitch in space and time
Experiencing alien phases
We've entered a new timeline
I hear your mind cry out in agony
The birthing pains of wisdom never come easy
Join me in space
(Let me inside, I'll open your mind)
Gazing beyond
(Harmonious waltz, a clockwork perfection)
Your insignificance
(You fumble in folly, your kind is so blind)
Supernova

I found this via Goblin Hovel's album dedication and didn't expect to be blown away. The vocal delivery is unlike anything else I listen to or would expect to like, but it works in beautiful synergy with the brilliant musical compositions. A senseless death is always tragic, but in this case, we've all lost what might have been. That knowledge makes this album all the more powerful. Heartfelt thanks to all those who made it a reality.

Wake of a Nation (EP)
by Zeal and Ardor
supported by 6 fans who also own “A Cavalcade of Cosmic Calamity”
If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound. The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP.

All Bitches Die
by LINGUA IGNOTA
supported by 5 fans who also own “A Cavalcade of Cosmic Calamity”
Condemned to a fiery void, where teeth gnash and limbs beat endlessly, those that have inflicted pain on the innocent scream in agony, their cries reaching the top of the tallest spire that pierce the heavens where the abused now reside. Those below plead for forgiveness, for solace. Those above simply laugh and refuse to answer as they watch them flail in the pit eternally. This is the voice of one of many within the tower. It is the new standard for emotionally extreme music.
