1. Diode Earth
The fuse is about to burn
Energy ignites the frames
The halo around and through
Flares in the sea-color blue
The fable is about to regain
No order is here to endure
Disruption will come true
Final eruption of the icy blue
Hypothermic future
Gate to a new existence
Never to let anyone through
Neither a glimpse nor a view
Earth concealed, never again to be revealed
An evolutionary implosion, summary erosion
Mankind had its chance, no more advance
Diode Earth
The route is about to turn
Failed existence – error
An ending has come through
That summons me and you
Earth concealed, never again to be revealed
An evolutionary implosion, summary erosion
Mankind had its chance, no more advance
Diode Earth
2. Arctic Fever
Sitting in the subterranean chamber
Embraced by the vast solitariness
Seclusion concealed by a vision's ember
That speaks the words of science grandness
And light determination in my soul,
To unite with Terra and the mysterious
Order that lives on this crude pole,
And transmits feelings of the ecstatic and delirious
The Arctic Fever tempers me to explore,
The environment and my emotions
I'm an extraterrestrial in this secretive lore,
Tested by organism's corrosion.
Like the wind is strong our relation is equally fragile
Contaminated, and then lost?
(exposed, and then refined?)
As organelle and mind reconcile
With the tundra, delta and every path I've crossed
Surrounded by millions, billions, zillions of species
But sometimes still I feel alone
'Cause microbes carry such neutral facies,
Their expressions are trapped in ice and stone
But if I ever leave, I will return
'Cause my blood is heated by the Arctic Fever
My body freezes, but my soul burns
So, I'm both transmitter and receiver
For the climate's magnitudes...
3. Cronian
Glacial deserts surround this habitat
Where lounges are slaves to the Northern gale
An inaccessible position on an inaccessible plat
Here, even daylight feels immensely pale
My journey took me across the Arctic Ocean
Where lonely horizons are rife
I've told them my heartfelt devotion
"To see the untouched regions of life"
The permafrost is serving as soil
Absorbing the rays from above
Its texture reminds of the stone's toil
To defeat time to become Jove
Snowfields cover the end, the vertical
And plants an ice-covered water, and their notion
That concentrates organic particles
As a roof that seals the rhythmic motion
Here, photosynthesis can't support life
Still something stirs beneath
Its strength cuts like the sharpest knife
When it travels towards that ceiling underneath
I am an explorer with a pure dream
To find existence in the purest form
A rover that passes the coldest stream
And fight the coldest storm
4. Iceolated
In this wasteland mankind has found its curse,
The suffocative coldness and the ice storms
Still, I am standing on a frozen universe,
A sealed space for unknown life forms
Where centuries of blizzards have paraded
To conceal organisms' survival
From a distant sun this essence invaded
Our world, tender and pervial
A riddle in Cosmo biology,
Existence without metabolism and fetor
Crystallized cells that found an analogy
To breed inside a massive isolator
Under the hostile surface, dwelling in the dark
Like a mysterious and unseen ghost
Waiting to consume daylight's spark
And find a suitable host
Imitating the known human guise,
A bacterium supernatural
From hidden depths in the multilayered ice
It adapted to the new material
A riddle in Cosmo biology,
Existence without metabolism and fetor
Crystallized cells that found an analogy
To breed inside a massive isolator
It was Iceolated
Until it gyrated
Around our numb and innermost
Structure, until it became our host

6. The Alp
I've conjured my visions awake
To render excitement to pride
I visit the old for this sake
And credulously follow the guide,
A natural thought which I can't omit
Outspoken by the sagacious alp
Leading upwards to the summit
That the luminary sun scalps
Thousands of obstacles pass my way
Mile-wide rivers and abyss-deep questionings
Within the senses I feel astray
Effected by the human reasoning
The greatest alp is my own perception
Of my skills in relation to the rock
So, the highest summit is the senses' inception
Not a planestesimal or material parrock
At childhood I started to climb manhood
At manhood I climb the future
Progression is the only ladder, good
Enough to mount failure
To my awareness I am the same factor
As the blizzard is to the mountainside
A both creative and destructive actor
That carries the circumstances inside
Among Alps – my mind is the highest peek
7. Nonexistence
The polar sun protrudes through the frozen wilderness
As the endeavours of the silent wanderer summon in vain
Cease to exist as the blood crystallizes blending with snow
I am there; I was there – in Nature's fierce trap
The flesh is frozen covered by layers of numbling snowflakes
Assail at this square of ice amidst the enervating worlds
A dream of endurance torn in pieces hollow and in vain
This is my last passage through the state of being sane
Equal to nonexistent, drifting away
Untamed courses, swifts astray
To another time, to another bay
To a nonexistence...
At the top of the world, yet in deepest sorrow
The endeavouring character of cruelty and love
The brilliance of death, the pursuant of life
Rumbling at this square of my deterioration
The polar sun protrudes through the frozen wilderness
I am amongst the pale, frozen haze, like a dream
The light weakens upon the sea of everlast
Yet the horizon is crystal bright, the air cold and light
Equal to nonexistent, drifting away
Untamed courses, swifts astray
To another time, to another bay
To a nonexistence...
8. Illumine
Frozen columns spearing the horizon
Gazing throughout the stellar endlessness
Alone at the peak of sole endurance
Under the blue and desolated skies
At the frontier of the icy wasteland
Grid by the urge for a new conquest
A discovery, a spiritual recovery
A moment of profound release
Illumine – the everlasting path
Illumine – the broad horizon
At the polar mesial, the foreland
To unleash, rove and to cease
No way back at the end of this track
Where the sun is my friend, fiend and decease
At the end of the icy wasteland
The last resort, the last deport
Traces beyond the stellar map
Coexistent from here on
Illumine – the noble moments
Illumine – the cause of those
I am here to die..
