Lyrics
The frequency of the earth changes
Deadly vibrations forsee its arrival
Signs all saw but no one took heed
Monuments crumble, statues shatter
The metamorphoses complete their cycle
To rearrange the earth
Kaleidoscopic lustful ending
Die as you lived, with regret and fear
Tune your body to the earth
listen
Feel the ground quake and give way
Feel the overwhelming hopelessness
Tune your body to the earth
As beautiful as it began
it's hideous visage beckons the end
for all the wise had scattered
witness the adversarial horror
as its fated will is put into motion
to rearrange your earth
An unforgiving tragic ending
Though you die, you never lived til now
Turn your body from the earth
Leave here
Feel the shifting of the times
Feel your life sift through your fingers
Turn your body from the earth
As the mantle sloughs off of the earth
Hold your breath and still the clock's hand
grasp each second until the end
each fragment of time holds it's own world
(follow it into) a new life
All you knew is dead and gone
Those who stayed are lost
Turn your thoughts to a brighter day, sometime
Moving forward and within
From the ashes of the old
Forge a new world
forever confined within His gaze
Settlers of the new world
Forget you thine past
And build a new god, with your own hands
Leave the dead behind
vengeance is calling you
The die is cast the fates have spoken
Panoptic vision fills the void
of its corrupted mind
a merging of man and machine
His reign may have brought the end,
but this new mechanical world
has just begun
Panoptitron is waiting, watching
he feeds on misery so sweet
His will has tuned the earth
To his own needs
a metal future, a dead planet
a necessary sacrifice
turn your body from the earth
think no more of here
An unforgiving tragic ending
live, for you never could before
Turn your body from the earth
Leave here
Feel the forging of the future
Feel your past sift through your fingers
Turn your body from the earth

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.
