about

The final track on Neon-Lit Metropolis, Systematic Decimation, is both musically and thematically the climax of the whole album as well as the longest track on the record, with a runtime of over 12 minutes.

lyrics

Tensions polarized into a climax of destruction
A final internal pressurizing wave

Intending to break the ever-glowing sphere
A calamity, violent, but increasingly asymmetrical

The pressure shifting its course
In a reversed repulsion
The metropole endures
Phantasmagoric in its prime
Revolution's shattered remains
Lie in the wake for democracy
The portrait still hangs over fragmented skies
Surging towards a genocide

A failure to break the ever-glowing sphere
A calamity, violent, fully asymmetrical

The pressure shifting its course
In a reversed repulsion
The metropole endures
Phantasmagoric in its prime
Revolution's shattered remains
Lie in the wake for democracy
The portrait still hangs over fragmented skies
Surging towards a genocide

Collectively detained
Resistant in vain
Separation from thy kin
The consequence of defiance

Claustrophobically conveyed
Crippled in chains
Destination unknown
Panic ensues

A mirror of old terrors displayed
Dissonant sounds from the mass
Civil war has its end
Aftermath transcending beyond purgatory

Claustrophobically conveyed
Crippled in chains
Destination unknown
Panic ensues

Faceless bodies
Strolling down the line
Descending from the path of life

Putrid masses
Decaying, yet alive
Pleading for a god divine

Desperate voices
Departing from the sphere
Into secluded rooms of fear

Faceless bodies
Decimation is nigh
Piercing screams of pain; I saw them die

A sense of emptiness
Deceptive luminescence

Superficially divine
Apathetically aligned
Avariciously bound
Destructively designed
Collectively blind
Malevolently outlined
Vile am I
Fundamentally malign
