Vultures
04:39
|
|||
Spoken words
scattered in the wind
fall to the ground
like leaves in autumn
Empty promises
behind a mask
of bland intentions
left for vultures
And the failures
of our futile levity
pile up like snow
in an endless winter
How can one trust
the word of those
who are volatile as the foam
left behind by waves
in a sea of disappointment
Vultures
feasting on hopes,
on broken dreams
screaming in agony
Vultures
feasting on suffering
devouring our
failed humanity
in this graveyard of emotions
Spoken words
scattered in the wind
fall to the ground
like leaves in autumn
Empty promises
behind a mask
of bland intentions
left for vultures
Vultures
feasting on hopes,
on broken dreams
screaming in agony
Vultures
feasting on suffering
devouring our
failed humanity

The Abyss
04:41
|

Stare at the abyss
As if we could grab
black clouds
before the storm
when the rain falls
As if we could grab
the sea
when the waves break
at the shore
So weak and powerless
Stare at the abyss
and let go
Stare at the abyss
and take the fall
Take a step further
into the unknown
Stare at the abyss
and let go
Stare at the abyss
and take the fall
As if we could grab
black clouds
before the storm
when the rain falls
As if we could grab
the sea
when the waves break
at the shore
So weak and powerless
Let immensity surround you
Take a step further
into the unknown
Stare at the abyss
and let go
Stare at the abyss
and take the fall
Stare at the abyss
and take the fall

We move in this eternal dance
between hunter and prey
and both roles
are played by everyone
all the time, every day
Like cannibals
always hunting
in a world of inequalities
We're cannibals
in this society
built to bring us to our downfall
A hierarchical route to extinction
It's hard to see the horizon
when all there is to see
is menace after menace
among every set of eyes
Like cannibals
always hunting
in a world of inequalities
We're cannibals
in this society
built to bring us to our downfall
The eternal dance
between hunter and prey
we call civilization
A hierarchical route to extinction

Coagula: Promethean Fire
04:13
|
|||
The embers of renovation
will lead the way
not to ashes and cinder
but to promethean fire
It's the rise of a new dawn
where ghosts of domination
vanish and there'll be no chains
for the one and the many
As there is light
after the long night
There is no being
only becoming
Transformation is inevitable
in the midst of collapse
So the basis of tomorrow
shall be built with our own hands
It's the rise of a new dawn
where ghosts of domination
vanish and there'll be no chains
for the one and the many
Seize the promethean fire
As there is light
after the long night
There is no being
only becoming
There is no being
only becoming

Doomed To Death
03:29
|
|||
The driest desert
is looking for
quenching its thirst
for human blood
They stand together
to resist
the marching boots
of the grim reaper
One final doubt
buys some time
For death has cast
its shadow
Thousands
to a mass grave
Thousands
doomed to death
The scent of pestilence
fills up the air
Below the pool of blood
the soil claims the dead
The bright sun
of summer solstice
grows colder and colder
as blood gets spilled
Only terror
is what's left
Anger and sorrow
take over
Vengeance
in the form
of assassination
The scent of pestilence
fills up the air
Below the pool of blood
the soil claims the dead
The bright sun
of summer solstice
grows colder and colder
as blood gets spilled
Thousands
to a mass grave
Thousands
doomed to death

Pitch Black
04:41
|
|||
I see a dark and dense horizon
closing in to devour my essence
An embrace of antimatter
Lurking my every movement
The shade is ever-growing
swallowing the ground around me
There is no peace, no dawn
A night eternal
Like a dream that never ends
Feeling numb and paralyzed
And the damned keep dragging me
with the weight of loss and sorrow
A form of death
so unpeaceful, so filled with distress
Eyes closed and it's all
pitch black
Suddenly it starts to feel
like a blank canvas
to be painted with light
brightness from the flames within
To be painted with light
brightness from the flames within
Ashes light again
and turn into a bonfire
Destruction as a form
of pure and raw creation
Destruction as a form
of pure and raw creation

In Defiance
06:18
|
|||
Behold the gift
from the bringer of light
the dawn of reason
below the morning star
Hear the wind
whisper your name
the one you chose
not a name of slaves
Emancipation
is not supposed
to be given
but taken by force
Rebel
Revolt
Rise up
in defiance
Hear the wind
whisper your name
the one you chose
not a name of slaves
Emancipation
is not supposed
to be given
but taken by force
Rebel
Revolt
Rise up
in defiance

Of Agony And Emptiness
05:25
|
|||
Time goes by
like raindrops in a storm
Time goes by
like raindrops in a storm
And there's no way to know
when the flood will come
until it's too late
Life feels like a wall
rather than a path
And climbing wears away
one's hands and spirit
Sometimes
it feels easier to let go
Sometimes
the void calls my name
All these barriers
All these obstacles
Can turn dreams
into nightmares
We keep building
our castles in the sand
while the tide of defeatism
keeps rising
Sometimes
it feels easier to let go
Sometimes
the void calls my name
To know we're going nowhere
makes an agony of being nothing
To know we're going nowhere
makes an agony of being nothing
Sometimes
it feels easier to let go
Sometimes
the void calls my name

The Solipsist
05:48
|
|||
The vast horizon
is only as vast
as my consciousness
for I am one and everything
And the emptiness of words
to communicate with nothing
echoes for eternity
in a corner of my mind
It's like chasing a spirit
in an endless spiral
drowning in senselessness,
in eternal darkness
There are only projections
of my own ideas
debating each other
with no beginning and no end
And this godless silence
surrounds me with futility
I'm a meaningless inhabitant
of a world of nothingness
It's like chasing a spirit
in an endless spiral
drowning in senselessness,
in eternal darkness
I am the alpha and the omega
the creator of an empty world
an incarnation of absurdity
alone in a cold space
Alone in nothingness
