Science on the horizon Let us follow that beacon Show me no sign of weakness As we jedi the sanctum David and Goliath Facing off at vortex! All the great empires fall You have such a guarantee We can forge our promise Through the suffering here Now the sun’s so very far away And the air is nothing to speak of Birthing our own chapter Dawning upon the slaveyard Shreds of light forthcoming Cavelike and transcendent

Suddenly there is a perspective On that we cannot seem to endure Time is like an ocean of belief The way out beckons us to believe The way in seduces us to be

Xanthe Terra 04:58
I can see them coming There’s nowhere to hide now For your own sake For the benefit We all believe something And what you believe comes right back around Back around to find you Time has begun to run amok Man or machine, the same New ways to breed… conflict And what you believe comes right back around Back around to find you I have begun to resonate Clones are always somewhere Somewhere we can find them! Prejudice wins I don’t want to see Hatred fuels their mission Obliteration Program does not compute System failure I can see it now The end of the vision

Olympus Mons 06:55
There is a place I go, makes me so bold and bright Mountainous village fare, I owe you what I found Come with me, I’ll take you to where you want to go Streams of light, awaken us to see the divine Suffering has no place in our promise here There is a place I go, to be one of the Gods

Missing pages, head wrapped in dreams Spiral staircase, spiral staircase, spiral staircase Move into space. Slide into space. Clavius Base. Silver ghost Yin yang tragiverse enclave, teenage eyes: lunar Sharebride failing star satellites destined to die On the eve of deathless highland contact Who will miss it? And who will you see there? Spinal river lifeforce, save me. I want to go. I want to live Take me with you. Please, take us there. Please bring us back to you God sleeps in Heaven. He cannot hear you. Abandoned. Seven miles per second: five, four, three, two, one. In the 23rd century, life without death. Enter galactic peace And war, oh no: Earth analogues, ancestral sacrifice Sacred poets, mayday mayday, mayday

about

'Das Ei' ('The Egg' in German) is an attempt to use later material to recreate the success of a compilation, namely that of 'E​λ​λ​as.' It is a darker work, about alienation amidst technology and nature as machine.

I firmly believe that an album should not merely contain new material, but rather my desire is to create great works using all of the songs at my disposal. Therefore, 'Das Ei,' 'E​λ​λ​as,' and some others contain a range of songs written throughout my career.

I am satisfied with the arrangement of 'Das Ei' and hope that you will enjoy it as well.
