lyrics
A growing hunger pushes forth
Into the dark, find the source
Left our world for the stars
The visitor gave us the power
Utilize gravity
It transcends space time and sets us free
A newer vessel built to last
Ten billion years of entropy
Violent expulsion of energy seems to create new life
Gagged and bound in a four-dimensional trance
Churning out every steady constant stream of matter feeding
The mechanics behinds this futile cosmic dance
Per aspera ad astra
Shed our old form to swim among the stars
Heading outwards on a velocity that will carry us so very far
Sol gone now, left behind us
Leave this galaxy to seek the truth
What pulls all matter towards a dark centre singularity or sentient tool
Violent expulsion of energy seems to create new life
Gagged and bound in a four-dimensional trance
Churning out every steady constant stream of matter feeding
The mechanics behinds this futile cosmic dance
Laniakea pulling inwards
Great attractor gorging, feasting
Filaments dim over a trillion-year span
Projected data disconcerting, continue extrapolating
Doesn't it realize that it is the trigger for cosmic death
A web of galaxies intertangled and intimidating, insignificant in a scheme that is so grand
This infinite and isotropic universe that is receding, yet also collapsing being pulled and stretched
Countless solar masses lie there and congregate
At the heart of the singularity machine
A fractal tunnel between their universe and ours
Ancient multidimensional beings
Drawing energy, replacing with entropy
Monodirectional flow of pain
Forged at the instant of all time and creation
For them to harness and simulate
Systems begin to shut down one by one
Leaving little room for any errors
Half the distance crossed
Between us and the great attractor
Millions of cycles have come and gone now
For us only a few thousand years
All matter bows down to relativity
Only now do we begin to fear
Into the dark, find the source
Left our world for the stars
The visitor gave us the power
Utilize gravity
It transcends space time and sets us free
A newer vessel built to last
Ten billion years of entropy
Violent expulsion of energy seems to create new life
Gagged and bound in a four-dimensional trance
Churning out every steady constant stream of matter feeding
The mechanics behinds this futile cosmic dance
Per aspera ad astra
Shed our old form to swim among the stars
Heading outwards on a velocity that will carry us so very far
Sol gone now, left behind us
Leave this galaxy to seek the truth
What pulls all matter towards a dark centre singularity or sentient tool
Violent expulsion of energy seems to create new life
Gagged and bound in a four-dimensional trance
Churning out every steady constant stream of matter feeding
The mechanics behinds this futile cosmic dance
Laniakea pulling inwards
Great attractor gorging, feasting
Filaments dim over a trillion-year span
Projected data disconcerting, continue extrapolating
Doesn't it realize that it is the trigger for cosmic death
A web of galaxies intertangled and intimidating, insignificant in a scheme that is so grand
This infinite and isotropic universe that is receding, yet also collapsing being pulled and stretched
Countless solar masses lie there and congregate

Between us and the great attractor
Millions of cycles have come and gone now
For us only a few thousand years
All matter bows down to relativity
Only now do we begin to fear

about
Exterminatus Vancouver, British Columbia
Rising Death Metal titans from Vancouver, BC invade the stage as powerful vocals roar over an amalgamation of technical, progressive, and melodic elements, driven forth by precise machine-like drums. Now with third full-length album "E.F.a.D.S" currently in the works Exterminatus aims their multi-dimensional death metal towards the stars, and like the vacuum of space, leaves fans gasping for more. ... more
