1.	Senselessness 09:42	lyrics	buy track
Nothing at the end of the ladder No prizes No progress NO SENSE! Incalculable becoming Infinite possibilities To Determine The indeterminable? Chaos! Do the stars have revealed to you? Uncertainty Is the nature shows you a structure? Randomness! The words mummify movement reductionist egomania Exist? It's just a word! Do the stars have revealed to you? Uncertainty Is the nature shows you a structure? Randomness! RANDOMNESS! Nothing at the end of the ladder No prizes No progress NO SENSE! Drawings in the air Pursuit of a lost fullness ¿Realization of the species? Delusion! Do the stars have revealed to you? Uncertainty Is the nature shows you a structure? Randomness! Adorning with mantras adding pomposity Covering to avoid An ephemeral and ridiculous move Do the stars have revealed to you? Uncertainty Is the nature shows you a structure? Randomness! RANDOMNESS! Predilection for predictions You are afraid! Because at the bottom of things You perceive instability A hostile universe Makeup for the convenience An absurd predisposition Disguised as greatness Senselessness! Senselessness! Senselessness! SENSELESSNESS!
2.	The Self-Delusion 12:45	lyrics	buy track
Interpolations to the past Sensory information Assembly in retrospect Momentary unification Vertigo of the understanding Fluctuating neural processes Which are arranged forcibly Reification of cognition It is a collective hallucination A Cartesian theater A narrative construction Self-Delusion! The first-person observer Witness of the world Possessor of an alleged privilege Smokescreen The knowing subject The object that makes itself known A fixed and durable being Is it possible? Generation of illusion Identification behind the machine Invention of an immaterial engine The Self takes the wheel Virtual reality cerebral homunculus circular representations Imaginary inner self Integration, emergency, reemergence Cacophony of meaningless phenomena Filtered by a control center Glare of a need It is a collective hallucination A Cartesian theater A narrative construction Self-Delusion! A ghost, a simulation Stay in mental retina A false notion created For a dualist cognitive paradigm
3.	Flesh Over Bones 07:46	lyrics	buy track
Chained anatomies To the deterioration of its pieces To the failure of the whole system Magnification of the simple Mechanical processes Chunks of matter Wandering in the cold universe Away from the essentials A biography of errors Rising and falling like waves Very little learning Faced with the experiences Dying rationalizations Suffering indoctrinations Trying to hide Behind a curtain Mechanical processes Chunks of matter Wandering in the cold universe Away from the essentials Densely tightened layers Of a naive realism Articulated parts On the verge of collapse Pretensions of an essence Aspirations to perfection Wicked prestidigitation Anthropological duality The mirror reflects a masquerade Unveils the outlook A landscape of fictions Death is a chimera Flesh over bones Thinking Rotting Lost Flesh over bones Disintegration! Inhabitants in conflict Fracturing Immanence Spreading hysteria Instilling the supernatural Mechanical processes Chunks of matter Wandering in the cold universe Away from the essentials Flesh over bones Thinking Rotting Lost Flesh over bones Disintegration! Phenomenal self-patterns Conscious of their own tragedy Simulating unification Changing… Changing clothes!
4.	Biological Paradox 09:48	lyrics	buy track
Organisms that try to hide and cover The silent abyss that awaits Delusion as a defense mechanism Threat to the welfare Abomination of nature Evolutionary absurd Exaggeration, a failure In the oneness of life Being Odd With what surrounds us Helpless asking For conciliation With no right To reside in any place Powerful Only in the vicinity Sometime, somewhere Macabre product of evolution A tragic turn of chance Sometime, somewhere Macabre product Irruption of BIOLOGICAL PARADOX! Not invited guest New eyes watching the Sinister Rooted to the land Projecting Reassuring fables Life exceeding its goal Bursting… Bursting… Bursting… Bursting itself! A kind armed in excess With a two-edged sword An uneven blind mutation Emergence of a new organism A leap from non-consciousness To consciousness as the difference The paradoxical imperative Of being and not being aware Coming out of the womb of nature Under a wheel of lies Organisms that try to hide and cover The silent abyss that awaits Delusion as a defense mechanism Threat to the welfare Abomination of nature Evolutionary absurd Exaggeration, a failure In the oneness of life Being Odd With what surrounds us Helpless asking For conciliation With no right To reside in any place Powerful Only in the vicinity Sometime, somewhere Macabre product of evolution A tragic turn of chance Sometime, somewhere Macabre product Irruption of BIOLOGICAL PARADOX! Impregnated with poison Contradictory embodiments Of a twisted logic Of a PARADOX

about

“Esa es la tragedia: La consciencia nos ha obligado a adoptar la postura de procurar no ser conscientes de lo que somos: pedazos de carne que se estropea sobre huesos que se desintegran."

"This is the tragedy: Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be unself-conscious of what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones.”

(Thomas Ligotti)
