There'll be no ceasing

The speed is increasing

Phosphor inside him like flies

The impulse is seen as they practically scream

There's an implosion behind his eyes

The silence the guitar is making

Closing in Pandora's box

While outside the ceiling is quaking

And reality's broken the locks

The old pioneer knows the risk he is taking

He goes one on one as the border is shaking

The stuff is as not as one that we call reality

Smiles mission dropping within a space

Looming he leaps before he can look

The clothes rearranging

The essence is changing

The world opens out like a book

The ages fly by ever faster

The moment is too hard to breathe

The power that he has a master

Shares him to in banished seed

Thrown from the pan he falls into the fire

He's trying again, he must take this thing higher

The evil is dead, this thing they once called a man

It happens now at any time

Altered State, Altered State

Feels the drug from the warning sign

Altered State, Altered State

Had to try, couldn't wait

Altered State, Altered State

Took the bait, Altered State

Altered State, Altered State

Resisting and Fighting

He's taking his time

This feeling will be here before long

Senses are reeling

He clings to the feeling he has for his closest one

Energy spits from his fingers

The trail of normality held

There in his grasp it still lingers

Now she is in this as will

The desperate pleas as stability fades

The process in time from this substance did take

Oblivion cheated by me as I save out the hour...
