lyrics

Time ago the world was bought and sold
Hills of conquered fists and monotone song
Aimless pleasers counting plastic votes
Aimlessly crowds bow to darkened throne

Baited cannibals are easier to mold
Kings collecting tears, then turn them to gold
Harbored savages meant to be controlled
Selling out for the next free fantasy

Fleeting crimes will sell
Seeded minds will tell

Broken time elapses
Dulling the zombies walkin'
Caught in a mind collapse
Stalling an endless fucking reboot
Lulling to slow surrender
Appease with incremental poison
Losing is science
A crying truth

A tailspin of consciousness
Moved the bar
An impulse, a stranglehold
Renewed a grudge
A blinding ministry
Broods a lust

Idle hells exacerbate
Masochistic atrophy
Pale fed
Chains are made obsolete
Slaves of modernity
Want a carrot to lead
Feigning absurdity
Kings shaping history
With careful trance
Flawed revelation
Consented castration

Melodic, dynamic, and lyrically dense, A•STASIS doesn’t hang in one playground for long as their songs dance from infectious prog riff to funky pop sequence while remaining elusively catchy. ... more
