|
LYRICS:
Sekt, Act 1
Imagine we are floating in the outer fields of space
We are guardians of life in any form, of every race
We are being summoned by a signal of distress
A symphony of pain from a world under duress
We travel and transform to reach your dying realm
And by the insanity of man we shall be overwhelmed.

LYRICS:
There is an order, there has been conference
All the means for your rescue will be deployed
There is an order, there has been conference
Whatever’s attacking life will be destroyed
We are coming, we’re taking off
Through matter space and time, we’ll clear you from this
Through matter space and time, we’ll rid you of this
Through matter space and time, we’ll readjust this
The waves of distress slowly solidify
The patterns cluster in a burning ring
We’re immersed in the dark flood
And through it flows your pain that now affects everything
We fire up, death is denied
Forces, and they’re all set to source us
They are beyond control, ’cause they’re all set to source us
Forces: crave / Forces: stage / Forces: save / Forces: rage

LYRICS:
The methods of time in a fractal design
We are reassembled in no time, in no time
This is the medium immediate, these are the holes in time
This is the relative arithmetic where everything collides
I shift shape
Transformation: is going out of range
I always imagined it would hurt but I only feel harmony
I don’t move past all things, they move through all of me
As I fold inside out, as I bend beliefs and will
As I realign my (inherent) behaviour, as I evaporate and distill
As I stand at the receiving end.

LYRICS:
Now I’m just like you, wrought by desire
Now I’m just like you, I’ve joined the liars
Now everything here turns to life. I see the warmth, I feel the light
We magnify the course, I’m coming closer to the source
I wanna bend whatever’s right
I wanna get off day and night
I wanna catch all the light
I just wanna be satisfied
I wanna shine forever bright
I wanna soil anything white
I wanna be a lonely height
I just wanna be satisfied
Now I’m just like you, as narrow-minded
Now I’m just like you, as cold and blinded
This world is of such perfect beauty, you have ocean, sky and sun
A simple and enchanted cycle of equilibrium
I wanna feed my appetite
I wanna howl in sheer delight
I wanna rival the sunlight
I just wanna be satisfied
I can’t find the problem, I don’t see the point of origin
This simplified manifestation of this here form I’m covered in
There’s no space for anything else than the desires that have been
I can not find the origin
There’s something cold and ancient in this skin
I can not find the origin
Something dark is rising from within
There is something inside…
… that reeks of genocide
I just wanna be satisfied with me

|
LYRICS:
Sekt, Act 2
At this point we understand that man is a disease
that ravages this world with a relentless expertise
It's impossible to fathom why you would consume this Earth
We will try to persuade you to reassess its worth
If neither feeling nor logic can make you change your mind
we will deploy infinite force to remove humankind

LYRICS:
You were not supposed to
Feed like this
Breed like this
Lead like this
I’m irredeemable
I’m inescapable
I realise
I am the banshee
I am the poltergeist
I am the shadow
I am the sacrifice
Innocence & confidence
I’ll eat anything at all expense
I have a one-track mind
I’m inescapable
I am irreparable
I’m irredeemable
I realise I’m the monster in this paradise, I just want this to be over
I understand I’m the I’m the wocky in this wonderland, I just want this to be over now
You were not supposed to
Feed like this
Breed like this
Lead like this
I realise
I am the titan
I am the root of vice
I am the dragon
I am the ill device
Turbulence and dissidence
I’ll crush everything at all expense
I’m irredeemable
I’m inescapable
I came to fear, I’m the toxin in this atmosphere, I just want this to be over
I am the spectre
I am the fatal splice
I am the hunger
It will never suffice

LYRICS:
Let us pretend we are right
And our feelings are endless tonight
Oh human please,
Allow me to appeal to your emotions
Oh human see,
The hurts that you diffuse
Oh human hear,
The shrieking howls of your commotion
Oh human feel,
The weights of your abuse
Can you feel more than you feel now,
Can you feel me bleed
Can you feel more than you feel now,
Can you feel the need
Oh human please,
Allow me to address the gift of compassion
Oh human smell,
The putrid stench of man
Oh human taste,
The bitter tang of human fashion
Oh human feel,
The onslaught by your hand
Can you feel more than you feel now,
Can you feel me bleed
Can you feel more than you feel now,
Can you feel the need
Let us pretend we are right
And our feelings are endless tonight
(All) souls are connected, you feel before all else
You feel before all else, and still you go with your mind
You feel before all else, that’s the real human kind
Allow your feelings to blossom
Let the design run its course
Let your tears guide your hand
Before logic and force
Let us pretend we are right
And our feelings are endless tonight

LYRICS:
From premonition to solid proof
From simple premise to bitter truth
If - You - Can’t - Feel
Logic will lead you to sense, out of the shade
Logic will sling you beyond, well past the… gate
The wheels are in motion, the future extends
To feature the elsewhere of a current event
(yeah)
Stepping in
Skip a step
Kill you off
In your (own) trap
If you persist
Everyone dies
...everyone dies
Humans are on a death course, extinction awaits
This planetoid can be saved, extermi...nate
The balance is tilted, space turns absolute
Infinite repercussions to ruin the root
(yeah)
Stepping in
Skip a step
Kill you off
In your (own) trap
This is the feeling your logic defies,
if you persist everyone dies

LYRICS:
Now I’ve lost my voice, I’m left with
No choice
Now I’ve lost my voice
No choice
The only chance to get life aligned,
is to erase humankind
Erase it
You do not seem to have the springs
And you can not make any sense
You leave me only one recourse
violence
We will not waste one more day on this human lie
We will not waste one more day on your human lie
We will not waste one more day on this human lie
Erase it
We will not waste one more day on this human lie
We will not waste one more day on your human lie
Erase it
You do not seem to have the springs
And you can not make any sense
You leave me only one recourse
violence
No springs
No sense
One recourse
Violence
Erase it...

ACT 3 - 2018 - Intro
00:42
|

|
LYRICS:
Sekt, Act 3
In this elimination the rotten parts go first
To give you some kind of justice we’ll make sure that it hurts
We strip away all shelter right to your very skin
Let’s see how you handle yourself as the beasts are closing in
You live under the illusion that there is no consequence
But all your willful ignorance just adds to the expense
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
LYRICS:
The worst of you, the filthy few
The rotten corps must suffer
The power whores and the psychopaths
The shadow kings and their filthy nests
The leadership and the holy men
The entire vile brethren
We work our way top-down
The worst go first, and we’ll make sure (that) it hurts
We work our way top-down
This sect of greed, we’ll make sure they all bleed
Wanna kill a snake?
Need it to stay dead?
Want the coils to break?
Cut off the head!
A pristine selection to sever the infection
The scope is set
The worst of you, the filthy few
The rotten corps must suffer
The psychopaths and the power whores
Conglomerates and contributors
The traffickers, the malevolent
The fear mongers, the 1%
We work our way top-down
The hearts of steel, we’ll make sure they all squeal
We work our way top-down
The kings of scheme, we’ll make sure they all scream
Wanna kill a snake?
Need it to stay dead?
Want the coils to break?
Cut off the head!
You will not walk away from this
triumphant and beckoning
You had hoped to elude this end
but we are the reckoning
The worst of you, the filthy few
The rotten corps must suffer
|

12. |

LYRICS:
We’ll take your shelter
Every human streak
We’ll take your shelter
You will be small and weak
We’ll take your shelter
You caused a system-wide failure
The human aspect will pad its own significance
It will rape and maim and kill everything of innocence
The unarmed human has such limited dimensions
Your puny project badly failed, despite all good intentions
The human influence can make the air go stale,
can make the oceans boil, can make a planet fail
You caused a system-wide failure
Disassemble: Until you’re exposed
Disassemble: Until it is disclosed that you are nothing
You are nothing
A disintegration to fit the lay of the land
An original world with no factor of man
A disintegration of all your contraptions
All of these structures that inflate your importance
We’ll take your shelter
Every human streak
We’ll take your shelter
You will be small and weak
We’ll take your shelter
Disassemble: Until you’re exposed
Disassemble.
We strip you naked to your flesh and to your bone
You will face this nature, unshielded and alone
You will see the weak beast and the monster that you are
You will know your place again right before the end
|

LYRICS:
This is the evil line you should not have crossed
There can be no pretext, even if needs must
We are staring at your sustenance in sheer disgust
Accept the recoil of your bloodlust
Here’s a sullen, bitter covenant that you can trust
Reap the dark spoils of your bloodlust
Blood for food is the most wicked kind of servitude
Skin for dress, a disturbing kind of savageness
The laws of karma will also apply to all of you with this determined blind eye
Now this genocide has been testified
It’s extraneous, it's undignified
Every wide-eyed beast is deathly terrified
This is the evil line that you should not have crossed
There can be no pretext, even if needs must
The bloodlust
Here is the exact point where the tables turn.
You will feel the terror, you will feel the burn.
Your frequency has changed, we’ve turned you into prey
Every beast is charged to hunt for your bouquet
You’ve been debased to naught, beneath the ol’ food chain
Can you feel the fear, feel the fear take rein
Feel the fear as hungry beasts are closing in
Feel the fear of being hunted for your skin
Feel the fear of getting raided by your kin
Your frequency has changed
This is no moral ground but a cabalistic stance
You will get the same odds: not a single chance
|

14. |

|
LYRICS:
This is the rate of change, the rate of change
We have reached the end
You will not have to suffer long
We switch you off, another breath and you’ll be gone
As we take life away from you,
does it not prove most valuable in any view
We will not overextend
but some discomfort is to be expected in the end
Why are you begging for mercy?
The time has passed for you to end the strife
Did you not have agency over your actions?
Did you not actually wield the knife?
No, your monsters will not come to life
This is the rate of change, the rate of change
Don’t lie, everything has always been clear
Don’t squirm, simply accept the consequences
Don’t shift, the path you took is what led you here
No doubt, we are collecting the expenses
We have reached the end, we’ve become untethered
Now, eradication brings us all together
We have reached the end, we have all been severed
We will feel united in this last endeavour
We have reached the end
We will not overextend

LYRICS:
Perfect
Perfect balance has been attained
Perfect Balance
Perfect
Everything is everything, it’s overpowering
Perfect
The present moment covers the soul
Now truly nothing is under control
This is all natural
It’s brutal but fair
No longer corrupted by benevolent care
Everything timeless & aware
Unconditional love is free to burn
All is immortal & nowhere
Inconsequential time is free to turn
Now truly nothing is under control
This is all natural
It’s ruthless but fair
Freed from the fiction of compassionate care
Everything timeless & aware
All is immortal & nowhere
Nowhere
All falls into place effortlessly, now that you're no more than a distant memory
Every word, ever spoken had lost all meaning before it could be broken
I sense the night was darker than black
But I see the light is flooding back
Perfect
yes, less than nothing is under control
This is all natural
Ferocious but fair
Unviolated by a merciful care
