Prequel to Madness

Long ago in the future

The grave was the birth

A very fine existence in the knowledge

Of all precognition

As bold and strong as soloman

Total control

They own your soul

Down to the decimal

Fear by the decibel

A crisis had begun

What reasons were

There to carry on?

Each soul raged against

The grand entanglement

Mythology had synergized

With misanthropic energy

I can't believe the masses

And their post modernic poverty

Of words that dance and screens

That flash a quantum wired romance

That rivets in their minds

We've wired their negativity

I'm the man with no name

I'm the mind that they cannot contain

Ethereal Traveler

I've seen what the future brings

Destroyer of everything

Ethereal Traveler

I remember the days

From before they controlled

From their nexus

A tower of data and code

Their bio-technical implantation's

I survive with a decoy to drive them away

I subsist in the underground

Though, I suspect I will be found

Whatever they can do to me

I'll fight to be free

I'm the man with no name

I'm the mind that they cannot contain

Ethereal Traveler

I've seen what the future brings

Destroyer of everything

Ethereal Traveler

The power to see

Weathered me beyond all recognition

How could I have let my guard down?

How could I have been so blind?

She was only their informant

I forgot, I'm their hunted prize

Now the time diamond is lost

And hell is here

Hell is here and I've found

That which I seek

Comfortable mantras

Repeated week by week

Now these tranquil

Waters can inspire healing

I can't see the darkness they weave

(Prequel To Madness)

I'm the man with no name

I'm the mind that they cannot contain

Ethereal Traveler

I've seen what the future brings

Destroyer of everything
