 «Conspiritus», видимо, можно перевести как «заговор». В чем состоит этот заговор остаётся тайной даже после прослушивания альбома. Ewigkeit - театр одного актёра по имени John Fogarty. Довольно пафосная обложка и хорошие отзывы, но слушается всё это немного уныло, скажу честно. Гитарная партия задавлена клавишными и всякой электронщиной. Банально не хватает тяжести; высокие частоты шуршат и поскрипывают, а басы наоборот задавлены - звучит всё «кислотно», других слов не подберёшь. К тому же почти все вещи излишне затянуты, прерываются долгими «лирическими отступлениями», а в конце обязательно космические шумы и обрывки как бы телефонных разговоров. Альбом сделан так, чтобы между песнями пауз не было - один трэк плавно перетекает в другой, как будто слушаешь одну большую вещь минут на 40. А вот вокал можно и похвалить - чистый, среднего тембра и довольно приятный. «It's not Reality» и «Theoreality» - вот, пожалуй, две лучшие вещи. Как-то пресно, вроде всё и на месте, а всё равно чего-то не хватает... Нормальная работа, но меня не впечатлило. |

Let us suppose that there are fundamentalist, paranoid and merciless governments that would willingly attack their own people under the guise of terrorist attacks (employing the Hegelian Principle - or - thesis.anti-thesis.synthesis). Through mass-media manipulation and censorship these conspirators are then able to convince the rest of the world that we need to follow their utopian vision and establish a "new world order".
Let us then imagine how the realisation of this hypothetical truth would affect us mentally, emotionally and spiritually?
2. It's Not Reality
It's not reality - it's just like television
Return conformity and make your own decision
The writing's on the wall - let's have re-education
Go spread the word to all - and feel the new vibration!
From a hypnotic dream, I feel like I have woken
I'm not the only one - is the transmitter broken??
People begin to see now the system of control
Turn off - Drop out - it's time to save your soul!
And when you realize, more minds will start to follow
See, through the thin disguise, the reason for our sorrow
And when we've gathered numbers, we will have the solution:
Manifest our own potential -
A form of retribution!!
3. Square Sunrise
Everything exists the moment you think of it,
And nothing does the moment you forget.
Looking through the holes of your tattered sanity,
When you see the end, there's nothing to regret.
Time to realize - See the square sun-rise.
Sometimes it feels like you're waiting for something,
Something that shows you the way to go.
Deep in this shelter, waiting for 'impact',
When will it fall - nobody knows.
Time to realize - See the square sun-rise.
Now I see it coming, there is no escaping.
Trying to discover, then running for cover.
The whole world is changing, prison of our making.
My mind feels like breaking, freedom's for the taking.
See the square sun-rise.
4. The Nightmare Institution
Inside the nightmare institution,
For your sins, no absolution.
Better draw up a constitution,
And start to free your mind...
Truth is lies, and white is black,
Sometimes the way through's going back.
In reverse on the wrong track,
Their heaven is my hell...
Walls are built with bloodied hands,
History lies beneath the sands.
Don't give in to their demands,
They'll take it all away...
When you can't find a way,
Then perhaps it's time to pray.
But if god is your all,
The he won't return the call...
5. Far Away From Heaven
Imagine there's no heaven, just open your eyes.
A distortion of reality, war-torn reddened skies.
Values are shifting, to the left and to the right.
Is it paranoia, or is the end in sight?
Far away from heaven, what is this place I see before my eyes?
Far away from heaven, conspiracy's a great disguise.
The past keeps repeating, or so I heard today.
When black becomes white, it's time to turn away.
Truth is distorted, the lies within your mind.
It's time to open eyes, because the blind lead the blind (lead the blind) ....
Far away from heaven, what is this place I see before my eyes?
Far away from heaven, conspiracy's a great disguise.
Where is the truth? Far away...
Where is the life? Far away...
Where is the meaning? Far away...
Where is the justice? Far away...
Where is the love? Far away...
Where is the joy? Far away...
Where is the peace? Far away...
Where is reality? Far away...
Where is the good? Far away...
Where is the light? Far away...
Where is the sanity? Far away...
Where is the freedom? Far away...
Where is the reason? Far away...
Where is heaven? Far away...
Where is heaven? Far away...
Where is heaven? Far away...
6. Transcend the Senses
There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything.
I feel it through I do not see it.
It is this unseen pwer which makes itself felt, and yet defies all proof.
It is so unlike all that I percieve through my senses:
It transcends the senses...
People do not know who rules or why and how he rules.
And yet they know that there is unseen power that certainly rules.
I feel it, though I do not see it.
It is so unlike all that I percieve through my senses:
It transcends the senses...
In the midst of death, life persists.
In the midst of untruth, truth persists.
In the midst of darkness, light persists.
Truth persists, light persists.
I feel it, though I do not see it.
It is so unlike all that I percieve through my senses:
It transcends the senses...
It transcends the senses.
7. The Thought Police
The Thought Police are watching you, they listen to your calls.
They're controlling your mind.
Chained by debt and the T.V set - they're coming through the walls!
I won't break!.....
And I know it seems the truth is far away from you,
And it's hard to know what's real.
But their house of cards is falling now, there's nothing they can do.
And what's true is what you feel.
A wise man once said "ignorance is bliss"
Ain't that the fucking truth?
I'm starting to believe in "paranoid psychosis"
I won't break!....
And I know it seems the truth is far away from you,
And it's hard to know what's real.
But their house of cards is falling now, there's nothing they can do.
And what's true is what you feel.
8. How to Conquer the World (Live At Bohemian Grove)
Manufacture consent right from the start
To get this global governing down to an art.
Kill those who oppose and see through your lies
Fund corrupt politicians for a disguise.
Brainwash the masses through media control
Tear down religion and belief in the soul.
Destroy education to remove any threat
Indenture the workers in un-payable debt
Create your opponent in a neighbouring land
Attack your own people with the hidden hand.
Fund both sides in a global war
Arm them to the teeth so you can settle the score.
When peace breaks out, the hit them again
Remember they are cattle and we're better than them.
Create killer disease and withold the cure
It won't affect us because we keep our blood pure
The time is at hand to remove your disguise
You've conquered the world - the ultimate prize.
9. Theoreality
Heed conspirators! Hear my call!
The abyss is waiting for you all.
The truth is in demand...
Smoke and mirrors hide the lies
It's time to tear down the thin disguise
What you find there. You'll not believe
Theory or reality.
The truth or the lie.
Which ever path you choose to take.
Be sure the reason why
A time is coming. When we will see
Behind your veil of reality.
Don't change your shape now.
Stay in the shadows!
Point the finger, deflect the blame
You have the power, but we'll die the same.
Your one-eyed god-he watches you...
Theory or reality.
The truth or the lie.
Which ever path you choose to take.
Be sure the reason why
