Those of the night 03:45
lyrics
THOSE OF THE NIGHT I’m one with myself. I’m one with the world I have made a choice, to simplify my word Arrogance consumed all of our strength We don’t grasp at all what awaits ahead Fill this callow ink, feed our misery To nowhere we are escaping, to nothing we aspire It seems ironic (but) somehow it can’t be more real Expecting no reward - onward A move devoid of course - I am Disrupted by the ecstasy of war I take the risk to find some hope In nightmares made flesh we shall fear For men and saints have failed Epilogue of the fluttering of a raven’s wings ALONE IN THE DARK WATCHING THE PALE LUNA ALIGHT AM I JUST A NAME? THERE IS NO GAME WITHOUT SORROW UNDESERVED I’M JUST A NAME

Echo 05:51
lyrics
ECHO My skin gets older My things have driven me to some thoughts Sometimes I wonder if one day my story will be told I see a child and a reflexion outshine It’s the message what will get through a poor man’s heart I am the water, the lakes, the mountain trees of the wild The blood is idle; somehow I feel it could be the last dance Willing to face a new morning with your smile No rush or hesitation inside I used to hide the sand under the carpet of my own house And that is how I understand my soul will never find the path Wind blows with the only longing of time Maybe this journey’s the right one to try out I STAND JUST WHERE I SEE TROUBLE FADE INTO SCARS WHERE NIGHTS OF NO ONE INVITE TO DISCONTINUE FOR ONCE MY CIRCULAR UNCERTAINTY A FIRE'S SET TO REVIVE THE LITTLE SPARK THAT CONFORTS MY HEART THE ECHO WILL RESOUND THROUGH PLAINS OF VAST IMMENSITY

The rail 03:04
lyrics
THE RAIL Going further, I’m aware My tears are flowing down the rail Friday morning, autumn's lane Slowly trying to free myself OFF THE GAME IN WHICH I'VE FAILED TOWARDS THE GAIN WHERE DREAMS WON'T PALE The hills are calling out my name Your hand in mine most of the day A scent of flowers invades the passing hours As if the sun would never set BEHIND THE SAME OLD YESTERDAY THAT COMES IN GREY (AND) I KNOW SOMEHOW WILL JOIN MY WAY

Hounau 03:49
lyrics
HOUNAU “The road went forevermore The sky finally opened up I saved but the moment when they gently smiled at me How deep do we need to fall to fulfill our primal goal? The whole man you see today is the outcome of one vision Tomorrow it might as well Be painless and fair instead These words come right from my soul To be understood by you …these words I grant you from my soul… Awareness you shall attain Just being who you wanna be Denial won't be a choice Ignite your lights in garlands Be sure I will never leave There’re countless flowers in bloom My April unsullied child I rest in your looking glass SINCERITY NEVER GIVE IN TO FEAR YOU WERE THE ONES THERE'S NO DISTANCE THAT COULD EVER DIVIDE”

I fear them 04:28
lyrics
I FEAR THEM It's not always certain It’s blind, a sigh at last And in a few seconds, it might stir the ground I don't claim for answers or luminous hands New yellow at my sight Though I'd be strong enough to cross the borderline Before my veil, I see a chance TO BELIEVE IS TO FEAR REDEEM THE LOST DREAMS THEY'LL NEVER LEARN TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND BREED AN INSIGHT TO BELIEVE IS TO FEAR REDEEM THE LOST DREAMS THEY'LL NEVER LEARN TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND BE STRONG ENOUGH TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND BREED AN INSIGHT

Pulse 05:20
lyrics
PULSE Wish I'd strayed within the moment Before I wake and face the morning Once the autumn's here to take me The whisky will run out in silence You were throne and tainted wonder That made me king of an affliction I spared comfort in becoming A crownless man awaiting no one FEEL THE BURDEN OF YOUR GLORY SO FRAIL AND TENDER, SO DISTORTED THE PULSE RUNS FASTER EVERY HOUR STILL I... CAN'T FIND A GODDESS TO RELY ON To allow you to write a new chapter Is to repeat in vain the cycle We were danger. We are strangers What we conceal will never lay to rest THERE'S NO DOORWAY NOW TO OPEN EUPHORIA TURNED INTO THIS COLDNESS I LIVE IN YOU, I'M YOUR REMINDER TO BLEED AND WATCH HOW WE EXPECTED TO FALL Wish I'd strayed within your cuddle Before I wake and found me sober Once the autumn pass the summer line The whisky will drown me into silence

September 04:21
lyrics
SEPTEMBER September normally comes with instability A presence of the rising spring evokes our liberty The grazing land gets higher, a permanent laughter’s sound Drifting with the rainfall, I feel that I should and must go on AND REST FOR A WHILE MY SPIRIT AND MIND I hear your tone speaking of incomplete promises… even When you pretend to disregard that you are someone else you’ll wave a farewell Afar from any season in which anxiety… tries to lead To be one or another, for every word no longer means a thing I CAN RECOGNIZE IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH THE BIRDS THAT UNFURL THE WINGS OF MY YOUTH AND I STILL RECOGNIZE IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS THE LOOKS TO THE SUN REFLECTING LOVE IN THEIR EYES I REST FOR A WHILE IN SEPTEMBER’S WARMTH WITH THE VIVID HOPE IT WILL CARRY ME HOME

Load 04:13
lyrics
LOAD Feel the breeze, it’s telling you something A whisper from beyond Embracing the night, old demons arrive To wash your last unholy crime Spit out the hate and cross the borders of despair Every word is scorn You could be whole if desires align You only have to trust SIN FROM THE BEGINNING DEATH REGAINS ITS MEANING Suicide is not an option Expecting to change in a blink of an eye When did your self-conviction turn into load? I want you to gather your strength To close your fist ‘til you bleed no more I want you to see my fucking face You will bleed no more! SIN FROM THE BEGINNING DEATH REGAINS ITS MEANING Feel the breeze A whisper from beyond …A whisper from beyond… Now I want you to gather your strength To close your fist until you bleed no more SIN FROM THE BEGINNING! I want you to see my face Yeah, my fucking face For you will bleed… no more!

Van der Waals 04:15
lyrics
VAN DER WAALS FORCES! FEELING DIFFERENT ACTIVE; WITNESSING POWER STRIKING LEGIONS This is our Van der Waal force To rip out all society form Get involved, listen to me There is no truth Can’t you see? A little more distant / They degrade agreements / A little more distant FEELING DIFFERENT ACTIVE; WITNESSING HUGE WALLS TO THE GROUND WAS IT ALL IN VAIN? KINGS OF MORAL TEACH LIFETIME CORRUPTION PUBLIC ENEMIES SEPARATED NOW! If you look at their face Everything’s a lie Everything is hate Sedition! If you look at their face Lies! Hate! Certain organisms cannot keep under… Under oath! A little more distant / To degrade agreements / A little more distant / Merciless! NOTHING! NOTHING FOR US! Darkness remains the same Mankind’s fading away – Mankind has failed Within reason, no freedom nor choice In our hearts we’ve done no right Dream! Dream! Surreal! “It is irrelevant what you thought you could be As it is refutable everything or everyone you have ever believed in Do not hesitate. At war the inferior shall not prevail nor reclaim what history never learnt… never learnt" This is the inevitable ascension. The obscene revelation to devour all nights

Undone 04:26
lyrics
UNDONE This time the unspoken cries inside A stone for every imaginary thought You lie! Your cynic youth remains undone For now the streets unfold in black and white Abhor - Despise a bright side neglected to the core Like you, like all those bastards in that crowded hole No prayer will ever save you if you do not want to trust yourself! The trilogy forsook you long ago The failure calls at the end of the line For those who seek in madness Salvation! Realization! The empathy of the naive ones SWIM IN HORDES DROWN IN FLAWS BE AWARE! FOR NO ILEGAL ACTION WILL SUPPORT YOU ANYMORE Bring forth the journey that transforms the weak into strong You need it, your fences craving for that sea of gold Condemned to bury your tears, a place on earth denied In never ending treason you’ll pay the price! Condemned to bury your tears, a place on earth denied In never ending treason you’ll pay the price… and high

The thin line 04:14
lyrics
THE THIN LINE Is it people who’s deciding? Behind perverse statements reality's awaiting Horizon breeds the chaos wanted To justify the leeches calling us back home Cynic paradox of aeons Believing in these altars we'll never end the journey Nothing will be the way you knew it Afraid to face a future uncertain Before us, a raven as sign of grandeur No solace, on black wings unfold now find his final lament RED CARMINE GROWS THE DAWN THE APPARITION AND THE CAUSE DECEPTIONS AS MIRRORS OF PALE INTENTIONS RISE UNHOLY It's your reckless sense of hate Turning errors unto yourself Inviting you to stay While slaves still beg you just to say no! Perverse. Power. Stimulating! Is it people who’s deciding? It's the darkness always watching Before us... RED CARMINE... There's an endless curse ahead At the thin line of existence, Where no one learns from their pasts

Look alive 04:23
lyrics
LOOK ALIVE Distorted mind Crippled and caged to never depart Your nature lies Despicable course Convenient alibi Simplify! The eternal solution The endless sacrifice Disrupting the march of human kind You and your wisdom blow the candles out Blasphemous words made of clay Nailed to the wheel Prompt to disappear Analyze! The tongues love to predict in languages never spoken For the vultures, look alive While in your insights you are a mere disguise Seclusion! Your tongue loves to predict in languages never spoken Conclusion! Deep in your insights you're still a dead… disguise! YOU’LL PAY FOR THE HOLY WATER YOU’LL PAY FOR THE SINS COMMITTED YOU’LL PAY FOR DECEIVING WISDOM - LOOK ALIVE! YOU’LL PAY ON BEHALF OF YOUR GUIDE YOU’LL PAY FOR THE WRECKED ALLEGIANCE YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD REACH SALVATION - LOOK ALIVE!

Desobedience 04:28
lyrics
DISOBEDIENCE It's too damned hard to comprehend The urges and rotten pleasures of your mind tricks You fled as if we'd never met Though on the road, be sure a coward does not even turn Truth overcame and shut the curtains down We dim the lights to cherish the forgotten Isn't it clear that it’s at least real? To stay by our side you need something named valor ONLY YOU WILL ROLL THE DICE A USELESS PREACH TO RESTRAIN THE BURDEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE ONES - SMILING IN DESPERATION LEFT WITH A TRACE OF OBLIVION AND NOTHING BEHIND You will not disobey your fall! Wish somebody had taught you how To open your eyes The mirror smothers, blurring purity, exalting pride Now depart with the fever of remembrance Keep your head down! Recall you not YOU DO DISOBEY THE TRUE LOYALTY YOU DO DISOBEY THE TRUE DIGNITY YOU DO DISOBEY THE ONE REALITY YOU DO DISOBEY THE TRUE PURITY

The tyranny of the light 08:03
lyrics
THE TIRANY OF THE LIGHT Away from here the light has scorched my eyes I bleed distress of mankind Walking towards a dead end I find There's no one outside to rely on In shades, recalling those days When sympathy still kept its ways Forlorned, my choice has been made Through years of gnosis and pain WAITING FOR NIGHTFALL SMELLS OF THE UNKNOWN ENTER A FOREST THE RIVER FLOWS FROZEN I am the one beholding your holocaust No God at sight Suffering the seconds of a sun becoming brighter From wrongs to rights I'm haunted and forced to hide Among the fiery clouds of lost innocence Iced blanket. Fall asleep. Almost absent. Desperate! Dreaming instant, dimension. Barren winter. I am blessed! Iced blanket. Fall asleep. Almost absent - yet condemned! Dreaming instant and dimension. Barren winter! FALLEN THE NIGHTFALL SMELLS OF THE UNKNOWN INSIDE THE FOREST THE RIVER FLOWS FROZEN

Voices 03:57
lyrics
VOICES Always behind the same questions That have been taking away all of my patience Carved in your stone there's a soulless condition Relentless submission! The worst and far from this life Fragmented sun, tomorrow will allow you to divide CAN'T BELIEVE HOW YOUR LOVE BROKE ME WHOLE THE MINUTES PASSING THE EVENING'S DISARRAYING UNVEILING MY MISERY I feel so lonely I fail myself in this moment Every person is just a mere deception Condemnation! Misled by the movements of your traces I try to tolerate the appearance of your unstable armonía... I fail myself in this moment The grey approaches, starting to claim a sense of belonging For a second, for a minute, for an hour I escape the nothingness Yet it grants me all the reasons to all my daily questions For now I know the answer... she'll never be loved again CAN'T BELIEVE HOW YOUR LOVE BROKE ME WHOLE (THE) VOICES OF MY HOPES AND FEARS AT LAST AT PEACE YOUR VOICE CALLS NO MORE NOT YOUR VOICE
