about

A prophet enters the world and is immediately accosted by the reigning beasts of the present. They feel threatened by his emergence, and so the prophet confronts them with his psychic knowledge, exposing all their weaknesses and falsities. Fearing the descent of their integrity through their exploitation, they plead with the seer, who vows to spare their disclosure if they can rebuild themselves with purity and truth. The beasts attempt make an attempt, but find it much more arduous and cumbersome than their usual approach. They give up quickly and relapse, in order to get the most from their lowest energy output. The prophet is then left to interpret the fate of their decision.

lyrics

Lyrics:

A silk cocoon has cradled its womb
A sterile draft has awaited my craft

Beasts align when the time is mine
Forcep hands bring inverted dance

We relay thoughts of our inner-sense lost
Casting beams feature naked sleeves

Wrenched into disfigurement
We summon up new measurement

Limelight dribble under lunar light
Conductive drivel under hyper's sight

The juice of fertility
The jewels of hostility
