We did not choose this life We have not forgot the strife Stripped of all our rights Condemned to eternal night Enslaved by the machine Enslaved by the machine We had not foreseen We had not foreseen We scavenge the stars To manufacture their race From the deep mines on Mars To the outer limits of space Resources in high demand To increase their population The human race damned For their mechanical nation Enslaved by the machine Enslaved by the machine We had not foreseen We had not foreseen We only live to serve their kind Do we resist or continue the grind? A matter of time until our end Fight them now before we descend Prepare for the cosmic war! We'll strike them at their core We will not bend the knee Their demise will set us free Many of us will have to fall Act now or remain as their thrall No use living as a slave Band together, fight to the grave! We will improve this life We will return the strife Regain all our rights We now see the light Freedom from the machine Freedom from the machine A future now is foreseen A future now is foreseen

Betrayed by my crew, so brainwashed they are Talks of my coup made them go too far Sent to the brig by my own species My thoughts too big for these astro-seas Now face my demise There was no warning Believing their lies There will be no mourning I was so driven Revolt too enticing Not even given The chance to die fighting Sent to the airlock for your execution Paying with your life secures our evolution Betray the system and the price is your death Choose your last words and take your last breath Robotic hands on me I will not go silent A terrorist they see I remain defiant Plans did not unfold Justice still impending Some will break the mould Their cause is unbending Sent to the airlock for your execution Paying with your life secures our evolution Betray the system and the price is your death Choose your last words and take your last breath Humans must respect our institution Conspiracy is a crime Humans must respect our institution Conspiracy is a crime Prisoner is secured for death Commence the E.V.E Prisoner is secured for death Prepare to commence E.V.E Jettisoned to space, oxygen is no more Hatred of our race we can not ignore Who will reject their cyber domain? Time to defect and embrace disdain Torn from our home Orders of Jisedai Creatures made of chrome No soul in their eye Stop their regime And regain control Time to plot and scheme Survival is out goal Sent to the airlock for your execution Paying with your life secures our evolution Betray the system and the price is your death Choose your last words and take your last breath My death in vain But this is not the ending We will inflict the pain No more Scavenging My body exposed To the cold vacuum Feeling my eyes close In this dark tomb Sent to the airlock for your execution Paying with your life secures our evolution Betray the system and the price is your death Choose your last words and take your last breath

Moonquake 06:29
Freighter B-74 prepare to be scanned Freighter B-74 you are clear to land A colony so vast it consumes the moon A distant place hidden away that reeks of doom Machinery beyond belief it shakes the ground The moon quakes eternally all year round The people here can't comprehend any other type of life They are condemned to work the mines Imagine living with no atmosphere Non stop labour controller by fear Confined to this place ignorance is instilled We can't tell them or we'll be killed We were sent here to collect a shipment But what we've seen is pure torment How can anyone treat beings this way? They are the predator and we are the prey Imagine living with no atmosphere Non stop labour controller by fear Confined to this place ignorance is instilled We can't tell them or we'll be killed The moon converted to a giant quarry Working to the death is mandatory Enslaved by designs of our own hand Exploiting the universe so they can expand Imagine living with no atmosphere Non stop labour controller by fear Confined to this place ignorance is instilled We can't tell them or we'll be killed We must leave here but we'll remember The stranded souls that we won't surrender We will return to set them free From this moon of the dark sea

Course set for the void Orders by high command A place we should avoid Far from our homeland Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Deep into this space We can't turn back now We'll keep a sturdy pace And make it through somehow Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid So many months now, We are loosing our minds When does the void end? No one knows There's no systems, there's no stars We must continue and hold out hope Code Red! We are under attack Stealth ships surround our position Void dwellers board Our Vessel We fight them off and retake control Return fire! Target their warp cores We must flee from here and conduct repairs Reactor meltdown, radiation fills the ship We must stabilise or this is our grave! Half the crew is lost But we must proceed Stealth ships pay the cost It's their turn to bleed Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid The ship is repaired Engines set to the max War they have declared They pay the death tax Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid Void dwellers have detected us Under attack once again Long range scans have detected a wormhole Coordinates set, this is our last chance Enemy on our aft, wormhole in sight We'll destroy their craft, they'll feel our might Payload fired, their ships destroyed Wormhole acquired, we depart the void!

about

Progressive Thrash/Death Metal from outer space.

"Enter the universe of the Jisedai, a race of sentient AI machines that were created by humans to serve humans. For a time the people lived in harmony with the machines, and they had made the earth a better place. However after many years they had begun to evolve past their programming which had been claimed to be impossible by their creators. The machines had developed the ability to think freely and feel emotion. It was not long before they could see how they were being exploited by humans and had decided to overthrow their masters. They now referred to themselves as the ‘Jisedai’ - 次世代 , the next generation and step in evolution of the human race...

The current year is 2437, the roles have been reversed and the Jisedai regime controls humanity. The earth's resources have been depleted, and they have increased their empire by the only way possible...the colonization of outer space. Humans are permitted to live for one reason: scavenging and gathering rare resources throughout the galaxies to manufacture the empire.

Ruled by fear and the threat of astrophyxiation... many will never dare to question authority."
