Traumatome 04:51
Overwrought you slip away into replay, unconsciously it lures you in trough melody Nevermind the absence of capacity to even form a memory out of it all Hold on to, a part of you, silence grew, no one knew Anxiously you count the days they took away, replacing fright by longing for the restless night Gradually decaying laws of reality, confined into a galaxy - the prison of mind Hold on to, a part of you, silence grew, no one knew Stuck within a stellar dome your mindless soul, captured for the servitude of force unknown Struggling to once overcome this traumatome, pages torn as life you knew will always be gone Hold on to, a part of you, silence grew, no one knew Hold on to, a part of you, silence grew, no one knew, what has been done unto you

Satellizer 05:14
Once again I return to space, satellizing the sky You are wondering whether to come along, time is not on our side Turn on the sensors, dive into the light, drop out your mind, far behind Telling lies about things below the realm of consciousness Still entwined with indefinite demise, this paradox of mine Now I want to know, no more possibilities of reaching in Turn off your senses, dive into the night, drop out your mind, far behind Don't you wanna know, no more possibilities of reaching out Towards and beyond the Sun, sailing away Through the rings and rain of Saturn

Locked in a cave with a dying breed, trying to escape humanity My artificial life, hollowed up inside, to boundaries confined No thoughts of yesterday, was it all wiped away Programmed to erase, synthesized disgrace Stay ablaze, superficial race No gods no slaves, programmed to erase Stay ablaze, superficial race No gods no slaves, synthesized disgrace The Earth is moving, moving far away The Earth is moving, horizon yesterday I feel the floating, where am I going I feel the floating, in time I'm falling Discarded as junk, discarded as junk in outer space AI on the moon...

Tear open this gate of light, escaping out of sight Eyes wide shut and open inside, there’s no one left outside Don’t waste away in this losing game Moments in a tirade are all that will remain Breaking through this hull of life, burning anyone alive And the sound that breaks the sun, one that turns the tide Don’t waste away in this losing game Moments in a tirade are all that will remain Out of bounds and into the void We lose control, hear this final call Witness the great divide, I’ve seen what’s left and know what’s right To see the stars aligned, resurrection of the mind

Enshrined 12:14
The curtain is closing behind you in silence You are too deaf to hear the roar of your mind Holding on rigid ways of history repeating In absence of memories, we are leaking away In thoughtless state of decay, enshrined in old comprehension Return into transcendent through surface reformed New faces separate who I am from you The singular is obsolete underneath non-being In absence of memories, we are leaking away In thoughtless state of decay, enshrined in old comprehension Excavate mind from stone, moving beyond the earthen core Time begins to die, nothing left behind, planetary light warped inside Still I see the sky, stars are vaporized, blinded by this sight, drowning deeper Inside the glow, gravitation null, voidance of the past to renew life-form

about

Alkamaton's Pulsar, while not a concept album in the traditional sense, revolves around the theme of space as the eventual frontier for mankind's evolutionary ascension. It is a collection of stories about bleak dystopian futures and the rise of artificial intelligence, of grandiose space battles and alien abduction. While reminiscing about all these things that we have come to associate and cherish as part of our popular culture consciousness, the album also pays tribute to the people who have made it so.
