lyrics

-METAPHYSICAL-

From birth to death we do our best to try to comprehend
To separate the facts and myths and all that is pretend
In good and evil there is a line that gets crossed every day...

Take hold my soul to where it goes in the metaphysical
To vote with hope get trapped you know it’s all political
Take heed to be and understand before it goes critical

To comprehend imaginations that you cannot fully see
As an infant understands his perception of his own reality
A burning sphere of flesh and blood that turns upon itself
To breed the greed that plants the seed of this false wealth

-THE PLATINUM APOCALYPSE (Slight Return)-

In days of old, the nomads roamed
The desert sands they called their home
Then along the way, the cities came
With flesh and bone, they built with stone
As Technology came with digital reign
That opened doors to the unknown

The TV sets, the magazines, a decadent soap opera metropolis
Molding this plastic empire of exodus in the platinum apocalypse

Assimilated robots in the hyper-cyber zone
Many people by their screens really all alone
Connected to the world, but all too isolated
Microwaves of emptiness is now so tolerated
Information overload comes straight at you
Watch your habits, store the things you do
Algorithms track and watch the sites you read
To prepare the soil and plant their demon seed

The cell phones, the cyber-screens, an internet sold-out metropolis
Molding this plastic empire of exodus in the platinum apocalypse

In the platinum apocalypse...

The flesh, the spirit, the body temple receives mystic divine light
Memories inside of me, velvet moments, fail to ease my evil plight
Then again, you see, it not so easily removed, replaced, redeemed
Things are deeper than the surface of the place you dwell, unseen
Deception is a crafty whore that fuels the need for greed in man
Perception is an open door that sets the value in this master plan...

Molding this plastic empire...
Molding this plastic empire...
Molding this plastic empire...

Molding this plastic empire of exodus in the platinum apocalypse...
