Let me tell you of a place once known as Earth
Now just a number, a symbol
Used by its cosmic enemy
Who planned our destruction for millenia
Waiting, patiently for man to weaken himself to the point of ruin
In the century of the vital, man strengthened
And came together as one strong race of warriors
From the void rose the Virvum Juggernauts
Vicious creatures craving the life force of men
Within them lied a transforming parasite
A genetically morphing mimicry of life
They unleashed the Xeno-Virus
Many were altered at the cellular level
and absorbed into a mass of unrecognizable terror
However, a much worse and formidable attack came in the form of soul
stealing technologies
As the life force was drained from billions, the horde became stronger
Now Lost and subservient, we were forced to bow to the new usurpers of
Earth
Many years later, a new hope arose
That of a benevolent race, who planted help for us here long before man
walked the earth
It was they, the Elder ones, who spawned the Nucleus and sent it through
oceans of space and time
It remained hidden in the deep, waiting for the right moment to spore the
seeds that will wipe this retched scorn from our planet and unleash man’s
true power!

When the Races were young
Before the wars prevailed
The elder ones predicted ruination to man
Astronomical alignment proposing transformation
The dawning of a physical rebirth
Lying in the wake unbeknownst to man
Was an existential threat to all living beings
Derived from the uninhabitable ether
A dying species desperate for resurrection
For the sole intent to harvest
Virvum
Engulfing and grasping all that it encounters
To rebuild its own civilization
Having fled from eradicated planets
Seeking self-preservation
Determined to sustain and to evolve
The growth of its own breed
Ālyən usurpers from untouched realms
Unleashing superior forms of technology
Encroaching spatial vanguards invade
Vanguards invade
The dawn of the next disguised in cozen pods
Schemes of deception to harness life’s energies
Having ability to render man obsolete
Invasion ingrains their insidious deeds
They unleashed the “Xeno-Virus”
Virus!
Man is forced to face the terror
We are the perfect species to harvest
To infect, to deplete, to destroy
To infect, to deplete, to destroy

Humanity’s way to escape a dying world
To evade the cold grasping hand of demise
Canaan!
The portal to vitality was forged
Evade...evade and live on
A crusade in the wake of a foretold apocalypse
A shift of power from a once thriving earth
The Portal
To salvation
Has become
Overtaken
Our path has been diverted and used against us
Culling the last of a damaged humanity from this planet
A Terrifying hole in the sky to
Transport bodies to the new harvest moon
Exhumed out of the ground violation profound
Pulsed, ripped and torn from the Earth
We were born...
Whirlwinds of dark matter concentrated in a vortex
A procession into an obscure fathomless void
A transport method to move the Virvum source
Systematically encasing
Disembodied and erasing
Herding millions into the unknown expanse
Transported within a turbulent tomb
Ascension to a place
Of suffering
Through a flurry of a cold and swirling darkness
Assimilated
Through dimensional elevation
Devoured in blackened clouds of dust
Man confined and powerless
in fragile shells of flesh
Harnessing the energies of a mysterious force
Diverted, Transported, Befouled, Discarded
All shall parish alone in the catacombs
All shall be harvested
Drained of life, empty Flesh

Within the vast realms of the perpetual expanse
Lying in the abyss of swirling decaying stars
Woven into the web of the astral fabric… concealed
in primordial dust of cosmic nebula
Caliginous devourer of civilizations
An inescapable prison that is cloaked and circling
Adrift the stellar corpses reveal the harvest moon
A frozen and barren terrain crosscut by narrow fractures
Clouded landscapes laden in debris of planetary detritus
Erupting geysers enshroud in sheets of ice
Herein lies the origin
Of the psionic stealers
With the destruction of Earth’s harvest temples
By the Xeno-Virus Monsters
New psionic temples were formed off planet
Hidden and horrible once more
The secrets of the cosmos are revealed…suffering humanity’s great mutation
Vessels of life encapsulated…disposable sources for Virvum
Monumental structures erected by sources unknown
Proves to be of an advanced technology
Tentacles of machines pull life from weakened beings
Antiquated pillars Inscribed with alien hieroglyphic symbols
Depiction of their liturgy for a higher distinction and purpose
Giant catacombs siphoning the lifeforce of the remaining
Temples for the process of entity blanking
Ravaging corruption to prolong their own existence
Within the catacombs of the monolith
Hide the secrets and the fate of mankind
Within the catacombs of the monolith
Strange machines rip the life from
From human beings
Procedural deeds persistent as they are ominous
With the purpose to strip the body of all essence within
Siphoning man of lifeforce leaving them drained and hollow
Harvesting their souls to power endless cosmic tyranny
A necropolis strewn with hollowed human husks
A repository for the banished and discarded

Unearthly scrolls submerged in the depths of the seas
Contain an archaic text Depicting the hidden truths
That all matter originates and exists by virtue of a force
A cosmic web of energy eternally feeding knowledge and power
Un-sensed by man’s infantile grasp
One race has mastered the code
A benevolent race of omniscient beings
They are we!
Progenitor of our blood
Spawned in the galactic center
Millions of years before the dawn of our genesis
Lying in wait, man's intelligent spawners, the Ethereal Ancestors
Responsible for interjection of increased knowledge
A Seismic shift, beyond our capability to comprehend
Gifts bestowed upon us to enlighten our psyche
And unleash our full potential from parasitic venom
Uploading new powers
But first, emotions must be wiped away
We…we are spawns
Freed from the confines of the flesh
A great enhanced
ability implanted
A creation of the overseers
We were given life
and designed for war
We have learned to harness
Aggression naturally
We are strong, young and vital
We are full of Virvum…with destructive desire
The age of change is among us, and has come too fast
Now the process must be escalated
To defend the knowledge long survived
We must unite the power with the weapon
It’s time to unleash the conjoining
Hear the call from the deep
Awakening humanity
We are drawn to the sea
By the Nucleus beasts

They travelled over eons of time to arrive
Sent here by the elder race to thrive
A being not of their making, but discovery
Found within a violent star system
Captured, observed and used for benefit
Scientifically altered to survive eternally
They have the tools to unleash the power of the mind
Lying dormant for millions of years
Beings that live in tune with the earth
Awaiting the time to intervene
A phytochemical enhancement
An enviable union for
Evolution
Beasts of the sea, awaken and arise
Colossal, they will fight, Join us in battle
Sent to the earth for a time of need
They’ve hidden and survived
How they’ve grown over eons of time
They are called by the Ethereal Ancestors
Let the process begin, It’s time for war
They are calling us to the seas
Only the worthy will receive the seed
The strong, the wise, the vital…implanted
The mind released to full potential
Nucleus beasts pierce the surface of the sea
To unleash the parasitic seeds of war
Monstrous to behold
Like nothing modern man had seen
Tentacles spew forth and unleash the parasites
Starting a chain reaction, that awakens the unconscious mind
Now strong, now wise and vital…implanted
They are powerful, and they will fight
They will drown the remaining juggernauts
The last of the human race is telepathically called
Called to the waters
For The Conjoining
Leaving man to finish the Alyen race

The cull of the ancestors to the water’s edge
An awakening activated by the Elders….
Coalescence of two entities becoming one
A new creation of power and might
The Nucleus will seize and control the flesh
Critical to strengthen cognition and volition
Human organism Improved and repurposed
Everything will exist just to serve its intelligence
An enhanced weapon of elder design
Man and Nucleus, races conjoined
Necessary for the final war
Man and morphon combined
Intent with purpose to destroy
Tiny parasites, when implanted, create superhuman warriors
Unleashing the full potential of the brain to enhance the last of us
Collision between mankind parasite
Circumstance of invasive hybridity
A destiny to kill, defend and perish
Coiled together and evolving as one
An organism once human remodeled
The mind will become wiped as emotions submerse
Substance injected explodes within the cortex
Host now Submitted to the parasitic venom
A consuming incursion for augmentation
Venom implanted (new line)
With powers of might and manipulation of matter
Using only thought, only a few are needed to crush many
The Alyen horde is no match for the new race
The Conjoined are all powerful
And emotionless, awakened and crowned in omniscience
Man and Nucleus, Races Conjoined

The final battle is here
Onslaught and carnage are assured
Man and beast united
it’s time to crush the enemy
As they approach the Alyen horde
The power of the mind supreme
A mass of creatures hurled aside, crushed and twisted
Probing thoughts penetrate internal organs
Blood pours and sprays as diverging foreign screams
Penetrate the sky
Once inhabited landscapes now left in pools gore
Alyen matter covers the ground
Creatures not immediately killed
Suffer beautifully
Limbs cracked and broken backwards
Splitting skin tears as pressure pulls the flesh apart
Eyes and brains explode as they come within our sight
Thousands of suffering enemies piled across the arena
A mural of gore and purity
Some are kept alive to induce information
The alien mind is hard to read
A cacophony of thoughts can’t be interpreted immediately
the brain learns fast, the language is deciphered
Scattered remains decimated and disfigured
A supreme display of crushing domination
humanity revived to its rightful power over our domain
Cruelty divulges information
About the now hidden alien forces
Attrition is now their fate
It’s time to hunt them down and distinguish the horde
Our allies are fierce
Their Virvum beasts are dragged to the bottom of the sea
Incoming waves of enemy invaders are no match for the new race
We will crush them where they stand without movement
The mind does the work, manipulating the mass and flesh
To do our will
With savage tactics of barbaric strength and force
We will vanquish and become…victorious!
Distressed, they’ve seen our new power and run afraid
They know they are defeated
The Alyen ships docked in orbit begin to turn and flee
The formation moves to the air
and using mind driven powers
Pull the ships from orbit to the Earth
Like meteors from the sky,
The atmosphere burns with cinders of alien debris
There is no escape for the horde, they are slaughtered
Mankind will never surrender
Therefore never be defeated

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
