Zychodia

by Bryan Eckermann

Faith Strongly reminds me of Shadow Of Intent (the sci-fi touches in particular). This is easily Bryan's best piece of work; an amazing concoction of black metal, deathcore, melodic and sci-fi. Massively underappreciated.

MindOverFour This album is a little more towards the sci-fi blackened thrash direction than some of the other B.E. albums (and so is more like the "Winter's Plague" album or the recent Imperialist album "Cipher"). Favorite track: The Arrival Of Zyrn.

Ahhhhhhhhh The course is set to Enceladus In search of life to replenish us Start the trek towards the light Fuel and fuse the engines right We fly, we venture the black stars To find where we are and what we build upon, we are human all along We must find a new home for us Our last one is turning to dust We are mankind, betrayers of belief and trust We rise, we look for the new design To find how we shape the world and this aligned, we are not meant to die (Solo) Anti-gravitational solar winds As space and time begins to bend Compass claims north is everywhere and anywhere A black hole shoots us beyond repair Lost on a transitional scale of haste We can not escape Lost in between realms of unknown place We can not retrace Lost on a transitional scale of haste We can not escape Lost in between realms of unknown place We can not retrace Shots fired, shaking, breaking their pods Capture all organisms on board These tests must be done With a bloody yell of unknown tongue They board, they breach, they come inside and take us To see how far they can break us Ohhhhhhh the humanity The course is set to demolish us all In search of something we can not resolve (can not resolve) Longevity for them to exist Used as filth, no need to resist (need to resist) Blacked out!!!

Cell 913 06:09
The slam of steel rings through my ears as the drugs start to wear off Aware of my new surroundings, I am no longer on board Long projections of travel The endless float I'm locked inside and just can't keep it out of my mind Am I no longer human? Null of senses just stops I feel drowned and revoked I'm locked inside and just can't keep it out of my mind So ominous the sounds, the wretched cries A long hall of victims in chains Awaiting their moment to be claimed Placed upon a table to be drained Examined patiently, thoroughly When they find what it is they long for Hear the blood curdling scream of the successor (Solo) When they find what it is they long for Hear the blood curdling scream of the successor (Solo) Genome! We have the link Genome! Time to create Genome! Splicing DNA Genome! The replication process begins Witness the cleansing of my kind The abortion of human life They'll use our blood to fuel growth They take our life to breathe new breath The end of all we know Consumed in the undertow Bringing us right to the end The transformation begins All we are is a cup of everlasting To become the source of their own quest for living Washed out bloodlines and removal of disease Cattle to be in this game of life creating All we are is this cup of everlasting To kill us off means they keep regenerating Wasted lives tossed to the depths of space All I can see now is loss of human race The apocalyptic breeze of change They found our place in the dirt A shallow spot for our grave A reminder that we are slaves No one will ever leave or escape For they have us all mind raped No one will know the truth These gods create GENOME! WE HAVE THE LINK! GENOME! TIME TO CREATE! GENOME! SPLICE THE DNA GENOME! LET IT BEGIN!......

Starvation sets in Stagnation in our precipice Like blood through our veins Dying to see what is regained Long hours have become days of fire Burned alive but we won't retire Cattle to the corpse, we fuel their empire As they search the cosmos for our entire- Race!!! Eradicate!!! They must not find our home for doom follows their hand A farm of humanity to harvest has become their plan Watching us fall, watching us writhe Waiting for the call, waiting to strike Captured our hearts, cradled our minds Continue to kill so our souls they derive Stab, cut, and slice to find the divine The God gene they believe we have it inside Infection lives Reactions are quick Spread amongst the living War for life has just begun (Solo) Deploy the Omega We have the alpha phase complete Omega virus ready to release Unleash this hell of sickening defeat Omega virus kills the weak Atmospheric dispense is primed and ready Omega virus targets the sheep Make a break as I finally can breathe Running towards the door ever revolving I see the escape I've been longing Ignition key, as I can finally flee Must warn the rest of what can be They cannot find us before we prepare If not we all will die, drowned in despair Humanity has no idea of what I saw These things believe they can play god What is to become of us....

Awaken from paralysis, a journey so arduous I'm back to my home, now to tell the world what I saw Return to find that another trip has been planned Oh god no, you guys, you must understand If we go back, they will be awaiting our arrival If we go back, this venture becomes suicidal No!!! we must venture for science All you will find is death and destruction All you will find is ample annihilation No!!! we must venture for answers All you will find is the coldest of kind All you will find, A Zychodian winter follows behind We were over before we begun Unraveled in my head is a truth that can't be spun (Solo) All the loss is worth the fight All the loss to come from this flight All the loss of life is worth your chance to be right (Solo) Forced to return I can't believe Forced to go along a liars retreat Forced to see us all become the dirt beneath our feet I've writhed too long, pinned up in a hell almost like I belonged This trek brings back the fear of beyond My insides cringe for the pain to come along I can see the needles protrude I can smell the blood of innocence from that room So cold, like a Zychodian winter So cold, the operating table Where we will never leave and we will never know We'll never....

As we see, our greatest of minds embark On the less traveled path, beyond the stars With hope in our eyes we watch the fire float, through the darkening sky Aimed past the side of Mars, across the vast ocean of black We say our goodbye... Filtered through the air Just a simple touch Just as quick as the breeze It covers the earth Spreading the fever Masking as a simple cold It will burn you from the inside As the virus consumes Scouring the landscape The cleansing of the planet To rid the earth, of humankind Bodies begin to pile, society in shambles All the world is falling down, every city a ghost town For a cure we are so dumbfounded, we can't quite figure it out The toll keeps climbing, from 7 billion to nothing Oh the humanity, the absolute depressing All gone Like it never was So fragile, So fragile We became the abyss Erase us from our birth right Like we never were alive Unraveled, unshackled As we cease to exist It is calling me I hear it calling me Can't stop it, we can't stop it now We can hear the call, the call of the abyss!!!

I know what must be done to deal the devil his due I see the sacrifice made, promises life ensues The death of these men must be for the world continues Along came a spider and this web I must use My bare hands, will take that life from you Your ignorance blinds you My bare flesh, will bathe in blood from you Your country thanks you One is done (one is done), the rest must as well (must as well) What is this? (what is this?), How did I embody this hell? 4,3,2,1 Nuclear I am The Armageddon Code 4,3,2,1 Nuclear I am The Armageddon Code Ahhhhhh Bloodshed all around So much red my eyes are tinted with death Catatonic and unwound Science will not outlive us now My bare hands, will take that life from you Your ignorance blinds you My bare flesh, will bathe in blood from you Your country will thank you (Solo) What a path of shame I will walk, fire strides behind every step that I take The emptiness of killing a soul, fire strikes me within from this I break Nuclear I am, ticking time bomb I won't be on that table ever again Unstable but very able to take a life to save a million more Nuclear I am, ticking time bomb I won't ever be upon that fucking table, ever again!!!

Arrival is now, walk amongst the angry Bile of these savages, digesting slowly Feeding on the remnants, bodies fill the sky Smell the vile-the putrid, empty shells of human life Limbs left decaying about The sheer view of death is overwhelming Open an endless, mass grave The sheer smell of waste, intoxicating The pheks will scream Dry blood and piss will appease This rancid hornet's nest Feeding on the ripping flesh Comrades!!! They use our cores and toss the rest, emptiness, soulless, lifeless rejects Cannot allow, death for no toll to be found These undeniable intents, they desire only to reset They use our souls to power their withering, diminishing, worthless way of living Cannot allow death, for nothing beckons now but the end They use our souls to power their withering, diminishing, worthless way of living Cannot allow death, for nothing beckons now but the end All of these must burn, tortured within fires All I've seen from these, is that killing comes easily In the empire of pheks, I will be dressed In the innards of any I find, I'll use a knife to pick their mind Discover what makes them squeal, watch them bleed as their life I steal Amongst a battleground of bodies and my brethren, I take a final stand Headless phek raised above my head Blood drenched, unafraid Make-shift axe and a desire to slay I've seen so much death, beyond a lifetime of any man I've witnessed the bloodshed in mass, beyond the mindset of any man I am squalor (Solo) Hack and stab like a mad man, blind fury is my plan, don't stop until I can't stand, this hell!!! Jab and grab, rip what I can, blind rage is my plan, won't stop until I can't stand, this hell!!! All along my path, each step a pool of blood that I splash The endless clash, all that's behind me I cannot surpass The echo of my name Drenched in blood from human to alien The resistance I cannot claim Nothing of this can change, I must remain at the ready Always at the ready O' bringer of death It hangs on my every breath O' bringer of death I'm forever in your debt I'm forever...

Lunar Tides 05:12
Cold moons loom Glowing beyond sight Times change again Just like the tide, the everlasting night Asleep with the stars Floating and ever dark Alive with aligned eyes Simple yet shaded grey Dawn has no approach for the horizon gleams with fire Let myself slip into senility Waving goodbye to the simplicity Blackened my tongue to speak, always to repeat (always to repeat!!!) Lunar waves wash me away Given up to give it a say Not another day can come without reminder Lunar tides can change The anchor of time and space (Solo) Shell of the old me, it crumbles away, and with it my faith Lost in this black sea, I wither away, losing track of the days Asleep with the stars Floating and ever dark Alive with aligned eyes Simple, so simple, yet shaded grey Dawn has no approach for the horizon gleams with fire Wind can carry the emptiness of me Deep is the space I occupy with nothing Me and my world!!! Deserted and desolate Me and my world!!! Deserted and desolate Me and my world!!! Me and my world!!!...

As these wheels are in motion Perseverance is key in this moment For this I have been chosen Further into unknown lands My fears can't overwhelm These things I have to kill Pushing through the jungles of glyl Where the world seamlessly stands still Further into unknown lands This urge i can't compel These thoughts can't break my will Instantly seen beyond a blackened veil Where the world seamlessly stands still Dragging myself through thorns I try to reach the wretched city The waste is in the air, the scent of death travels far and fair I can sense the tides have changed Forever rearranged, never to be seen again Glaring through debris of a fallen city I see the ones they worship through pity I watch and study, to learn their ways, I am ready (Solo) Grab one from behind, stab this piece of metal inside Hahaha, I am a bringer of death Continue reaching and ending their lives One by one I slaughter these things that can't fight back Noooooo!!! Our children he has slain With entry wounds to the brain We must find the one this claims The escapee must be detained Manhunt!!! Find the bastard that did this He shall no longer exist Alarms raised for the death of innocence I realize I just stabbed their children One piece of revenge has been served cold Now they know what it feels like to watch someone you love die One piece of revenge has been served cold Now they know, to see all the loss from one night can last a lifetime They scream, they search to find me once again The one they blame for the devils end They scream, gut this human alive, he must not survive The one they blame for the fire inside Noooooo!!! Our children he has slain With entry wounds to the brain We must find the one this claims The escapee must be detained Manhunt!!! Find the bastard that did this He shall no longer exist Alarms raised for the death of innocence I realize I just stabbed their children I would again (I would again) For what they did to us (for what they did to us) Is the same (is the same!!!) Now I move beyond glyl To find the mastermind who built the virus I seek the creator!!! I seek the maker!!! I seek the creator!!! I Seek the maker!!!

His shriek breaks the sound barrier The cheer of his army beckons The ominous presence of just one His eminence raises a hand Spill all the blood that you can We must take their DNA and their flesh Along with this barren land We shall nourish ourselves once again With the arrival of Zyrn Comes the end from which there is no return Incubate- the virus must spread beyond the reach of god Annihilate- pile up the dead to show our praise for what we got Not today Over my dead body I didn't kill for nothing Over my dead body My planet will not suffer Over corpses so bloody I scream the name, Zyrn!!! (Solo) Spill all the blood that you can We must take their DNA and their flesh Along with this barren land We shall nourish ourselves once again Gouge his eyes and snap his horn Through his heart I pierce to the bone Cannot stop as I'm tasting death In this moment I am reborn In death I am home (I am home) Alarms sound, an emperor laid to rest They now scramble towards the endgame Traveling at light speed, to avenge a loss beyond me They seek blood as retribution All they see is an end worth living They seek blood as retribution....

Commence transmigration... Gather round my loyal subjects Time has come for me to speak Beyond is our lifeline Beyond is not finite We leave now, we leave tonight Prepare for the ardous flight I can see they dont mind me They rush to flee, escaping this hell Well they won't, bring this hell to my home Not a chance with me alive I'll die to save my country, to save their lives I must travel aboard to see, stall there goal, steal their dream Make them lost through the same black hole that took me Quietly creep, amongst a thousand enemies, my heart beats steep I'm in too deep Blood on my hands once again Blood on my hands once again Am I me??? How can I be??? (Solo) I'm in too deep Blood on my hands once again Blood on my hands once again Am I me??? How can I be??? I'm in too deep Blood on my hands once again (once again!!!) Blood on my hands once again (once again!!!) Am I me??? How can I be???

All out war as they approach the Earth realm sector I must falter, their deathly embrace All around me is chaos Within I remain calm Settle the score, ripping the flesh a soul collector I must succumb, this deathly embrace You want to tread my lands? To end my people's way Do you think you are welcome? To feast upon human life The human dominion The truth about us, survivalist Must find these navigation systems Trajectory set a far, deep into the black that took us Capsized and raped us, without hesitation Must find these navigation systems Go back and die, deep into the hell you shaped us Diligently defaced us, without hesitation face your mortality with the utmost conviction The human dominion The truth about us, survivalist We wont die without a fight, you can see it in my eyes Blood drenched and determined to end this strife All around me is chaos Within I am focused Input the coordinates, send them straight through the labyrinth of space Must make my escape, seek the same pods I used in the last chase (Solo) As I slay towards the end I cant help but remember My fellow soldiers, innocent extraterrestrial children I murdered All in the name of hope In the name of mankind All in my name All in the name of pain In the name of revenge I am the hero I see the door shut and behind me goes the flood of dying savages I'm rest assured all is saved and behind me, left behind those evil souls...

The horizon glows, on my way home Seems so long ago Touchdown upon the ground, I am free seems a little too easy My breath shakes, from the ashes in the wind My eyes behold, a world on fire, left adrift What sadness fathoms this end? What part of this did I not contend? I scream but just an echo returns The very essence of life no longer deserved Moonlit night, ever shining bright But the stench of the dead Brings an overwhelming sense of dread The rotting face of the earth And corpses withering in the dirt How much of this did I cause? Take to a moment but I cant pause I pray to god, why did this happen to be O' my sweet child, o' bringer of death Beckoned with one breath I plunge into the depths (Solo) Old dying world of grey, by my hands bled to be disgraced I'm the maker of this pain Besmirch my wretched name Old dying pile of waste, I killed so much for nothing to change I'm the maker of this pain I am a virus of mistakes O' my sweet child, o' bringer of death Beckoned with one breath I plunge into the depths Distorted words speak through me One last life to end in misery One last sunrise, with the barrel gripped tight Against my head O' bringer of death One last sacrifice With my lips gripped tight One last taste of steel And then there's no more pain to feel This flash of desperation Pull the trigger tight A portrait of desolation Fading in the moonlight
