What starts with light? What burns the night? What shadow consumes with its fumes when its parts unite? All that’s left behind are wandering ghosts A vision of light will ignite from the blazing coast We have won the war but it’s miles till the force will be felt In the path of a great plasma blast lies hell Invisible waves grip and blanket the landscape Absorb the force source mutate the shape Break the hold you hold The grip that steals the light from orbit Spin freely or suffer the weight Shape shifter contemplate While the forces of phantoms flood over and storm your gates Lay down your life shape sacrifice Crashing the core and reborn as radiant light Invisible waves grip and blanket the landscape Absorb the force we take we bend light We spin freely we breed orbit velocity We crash to ignite we are electric Through the corona of the sun 1 trillion joules of starlight march the path to war Forever…

Caught in your cosmos a dream or conspiracy Shooting through jet streams ammonium crystals surround me Trapped in a tear of your atmosphere I’ve gazed at great lengths through the storms of your red eye The repeating feedback the thunder intensified Falling through the neon lights Decoded all of your dark grand intentions Your plans to become a new star by invention Stars are born to sacrifice Challenge the terrestrial torch of this system Your wisdom is burning a hole in the heat that you seek Winds will wipe out everything Acid rain falling like laser beams Sulfur winds and then we’re sailing Through magnetic static your mass collapse Been around your worlds and I’ve found Hydrogen rivers flow underground I’m still caught in your cosmos A dream or conspiracy shooting through jet streams Ammonium crystals surround me Trapped in a tear of your atmosphere Big and vast one gaseous mass of pride Open up your crimson eye See a new sunrise on distant horizons You’re sinking in sulfur While vapors are rising A vision of imploding end is near Mass collide unite form the night Soon you’ll be the darkest night… A black hole

Falling through the yellow blue The ice-spiked rings of solitude Paths unchanged the order saved The power of the nuclei retained On the path of lifeless mass Past laid out by craters crashed Neutron waves held in space Dust fields collapse in their final escape Crystals that form on the outside of life Lifeless the seas that have sent them in waves Perfect destruction we’re floating away Swim through the static the ocean alive Falling through the altitude The slow decay of space unmade Biospheres magnetic fields The fate of a future race is revealed Dazzling restless the freezing water Fragments will burst their way through the order Floating around in the balance of life Surface my purpose To get to my home Decode the plans the paths the patterns My enemies hide inside the rings of Saturn Infinite nodes the brain controls the pattern My enemies hide inside the rings of Saturn

Frozen Shimmering stone Hallo the great gas giant silent Spinning alone Islands Under the waves Sinking and rising black ice hiding Alien graves Under a sea of menagerie bleeds A wounded world of the past Look for a time when the stars realign Wash away mountains of ash Broken Cosmic debris Held in the cold dark grip of orbit Sun gravity Crystalline structures fractured unfold Caught in a season of storms Banished to darkness a sliver of memory A century more to get warm Proteus Galatea Despina Laomedeia Sao Thalassa Halimede Naiad Larissa Nereid…

Infinite End 03:28
The lights go by the black divides the sky On the edge of disaster in space time I found a new planet the orbit’s hard to break Pulled me in and I’ve landed and I’m stranded I fell into focus This movement this moment eternal Vanquish blues and spectral hues The shape of fate turned inside out The embryo of all we know is growing exponentially Slip inside the space between the cosmic sheets The guided queen on flaming throne And I alone will neutralize what once was noble Bend and twist to soon exist Quite different than the ancient order Pulled into a void where time will stop Deep inside my composition no longer lives superstition. Helium and trace amounts of hydrogen and water vapor Majesty now magnified now I’m the one who’s inside out Sew and weave a quilted stream then stop

Goodbye life Repel suck swell end the strife Caught in the endgame sick of waiting Connected you repel me Still we are one The sun and earth have both just given birth The elements of life reversed Explore your coast Electrons leave their host They break their bonds give up the ghosts The charge exchange Small orbits end in flames Bodies burn bright before they fade My view your voice have drifted without noise I hear the end begin again Restart time Twin galaxies combine Obscure the lines of separation spec in the cosmic eye Revive life Slow motion we collide Caught in the endgame sick of waiting Connected you repel me still we will survive Somewhere in the night the lights have drowning eyes Two worlds collide twin galaxies made blind Strings soon detune our orbits soon entwine Fade into life our molecules combine

Great satellite Sail with the tail of a comet On a flaming throne alone Metallic magnetic deadly black drone One thousand years of sleep The stars will bleed in the cosmic sea We sail on sparks Let the odyssey start Ghosts spin around and disappear Through the motion of planets in the heliosphere It’s thermodynamic force in the galactic north Terrestrial planets by the light of a gaseous god Through the path of Mercury Out the mouth into the galaxy Reverse the seasons Change the cosmos however I please Fall to your knees Say goodbye to ancient ways under my feet Walk through nebulous clouds and dream Of solar flares photons radiate decay The architect of everything’s origins The first wave of light On a changing horizon Scattered shards of white meteorite and dark ice Deionized atoms in the folds of time Push past the pulsar phantoms with future kind Erase replace deface create the space Repel the oceans With every motion move further away The old ways betrayed Gas giant burns breaks washes away Crash collapse the moon retrograde Solar flares photons radiate decay The architect of everything opens its wings…

Deep in the heart of Andromeda Caught in the orbit of the two suns Live the insect race space gate keepers the Arcadeans Under the soot of volcanic debris Through the winding tunnels and tributaries They calculate in precise degrees the end of everything On a stellar ship they’re sailing Through the crust of the cosmos Left the sun the earth the moon and Jupiter’s hovering ghost Shooting through impending doom they loom They lie and wait suspended The solar breeze shifts the sands of time All prospects are perched on the wings of pilgrims No words no worlds a race erased I really don’t have any regrets Frozen stripped out of time Held in the hand of the future I was stolen Ripped out of time Held in the gangrenous grip of the future So long my scenery gone This satellite in flight can’t fight This planetary pull any longer Silent night is shattered by the pull of invisible strings Tumbling towards an infinite ending
9.
Through the eyes Of the paralyze radiant light beams I dream I dream Through the ice Through the ice I see light in the night Of the fallen and empty Paradise Is frozen in my cosmic eye The divine Is held in a solid state Evaporate I see a blazing path of ice Rock and dust crystalized The night has eyes The night has eyes

Lend me your planets And I will be your sun I will remake the order of Your solar system So enter the entrapment The cave inside the maze disguise Molten metal runs in rivers flowing Logic and matter die Where all of our worlds Are already one Drift into me and let me bring my reign I’ll split the oceans I’ll make the mountains melt Molecular motion rising Shockwave of thunder felt We’ll occupy new worlds My stratosphere and I Still time pushes through the hourglass And breaks it by design No reason to resist your only stardust Time becomes occupied Deep space infinite size Mass gets magnified Solar birth death from inside Dark matter the key to survive

about

5 billion years after the last great extinction, the galaxy Andromeda spins headlong into the Milky Way with three intergalactic travelers in tow. Drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Guitarist/keyboardist Core Atoms (Zruda, Gaylord) and Keyboardist/guitarist Raheem Amlani (Withered, Scarab) are said pioneers, the space wizards of psychedelic soundscapes where organic drums collide with synthetic keys to create an infinite transmission from an event horizon. They go by ARCADEA and their otherworldly brand of psyche-electric, synth-driven, metallic madness sounds alien yet somehow familiar. ARCADEA's visionary, self-produced, self-titled debut was mastered by Colin Leonard (Mastodon) and features stunning cover art from renowned sci-fi fantasy artist Essy May.
