lyrics

exhumed progenies of fear
proficient biomechs
breeding in the poison
that rids the waste
from the cesspool of this sprawl
engineered to rend flesh from bone
while he uses it to create

feeding in the shadows
his tools crave their flesh
carving his insignia
across the rotted fetid
canvas of its hide
augmented abominations
chemfueled lunatic design

forged in rotting flesh
twisted manic art
painter of the dead
surgeon of the steel

in his supple hands
he holds life itself

devouring the weak
vassals to his will
putrid vile mass
metal bound of skin

born of boundless
imaginative wealth

butcher blade is hungry
paints the world with red and grey
his hand guided by
the omniscient force
behind the hivemind
legions at his beck and call
to cleanse the filth from the sprawl

in his metal hands
he snuffs out life itself

Return to dust
Awaiting you
in your undying lust

We turn to dust
Awaiting you
In your undying

Underneath a steel sky
life perseveres
gore is in the air
flailing limbs and spurting blood

Unto the cruel I hath bespoken
Until the wicked bones lay broken
Another night the dead awoken

Panoptitron Cincinnati, Ohio

Heavy metal from the future, about the future, and for the future. Narrowly escaping the cataclysm in the year 2XXX, two musicians have come back to the twenty-first century to tell their tale of the giant robot know only as THE PANOPTITRON. So bear witness, and don't say you weren't warned, as they weave a tale so harrowing and heavy, that it may alter the very future as they knew it. ... more
