Lyrics


1. WITHIN FLESH

In the silence a world is still collapsing.
All the muted senses have a role to play.
Misguided minds never cry for the sentient.
Your justice, your murder.

No tears, no pain. They are blissfully blind
Living here, present
With their eyes wide shut.
The common roots of oppression still prevail
Within the flesh

Images speak for themselves
Never forget
Remember the beauty that still remains
washing their blood with tears.
Again and again.

Silence of men leads to the silence of god.

Redefine love and empathy.
Where there's a place in you ?

Images speak for themselves
Never forget
Remember the beauty that still remains
washing their blood with tears.
Again and again.


2. NOTHING GROWS

All of the sterile lands you once stole, to rise and fall
You built empires and burnt them, in the sacred name of your own fame
Shame on your success
To be reborn and restart but

Turn back and see that nothing grows on
- those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade

All your progressions must cause offense, such a nonsense
Always obsessed by your ending, your plans can bloom as fast as weeds
Greed leads your great quest
To be reborn and restart but

Turn back and see that nothing grows on
- those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade

Preserving treasures by caging them deciding who lives and who dies
Every morning I light up another defeat and deplore my failure

Amazed by your decay, you longed and hoped for an end
Time of the defeat was so close, so clear, to be feared


3. HAVEN

Outcast among the crowd I wandered
I couldn't feel safe, I was one of the unwanted, I had to flee

I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door
To be rescued, don't lay me aside
Take me in, my defender

Fury. It has never been a hunt, nothing more than a harvest
I forgot my own name but not yours

I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door
To be rescued, don't lay me aside
Take me in, my defender

Right in the middle of devasted lands
Out of reach appears a familiar sight : my shelter
For once let me exist behind your walls
Just once let me come and tightly grip your stairs
And long for your hand to wake me up one last time
Time has ruined this place as hate ruined our world
So I will lie here and wait for the end of the storm

Empty hall, untouched dust, beloved moonscape
The garden is dead but here I am, no one will come to find me now

I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door
To be rescued, don't lay me aside
Take me in, my defender


4. DISCLOSURE

Witnesses of untold stories and true faces, icons unseen
The Ages are succeeding but are all different
And heroes are dying in each century, their remains disrespected

Disclosure of the past to unearth the truth beneath
We need to know
Was it real?
We have to see

Cities rise again from the sand but now
Our science is refuting faith and the legends
The truth is so close, you just need to burrow much deeper

Disclosure of the past to unearth the truth beneath
We need to know
Was it real?
We have to see

Insatiable prying can't be content with just relics


5. LUMEN

Despairing light, I open my eyes to all hope
Yearning for rebirth I turn my back on the dark and erase that soul
Second life for a thousand of beings homeless, breathless, nude
All is made like stone, no pretender for no throne
Fragile existence

Timeless substances survive
Liberation from the decay
No voice, no choice nothing can be shared, but I see
Even the trees are grey but still I can see colours in your eyes
Lumen the light of every life

My crave for freedom has replaced the fear inside me
The great walk goes on through past times
And I recognize the dead found lands
Fadeout the lament facing the new atmosphere
Hands of my road mate carry the fire and lead me to blueless sea

Timeless substances survive
Liberation from the decay
No voice, no choice nothing can be shared, but I see
Even the trees are grey but still I can see colours in your eyes
Lumen the light of every life

When the Sun has reached its zenith the sky is still so dark
Grim sight upon the horizon is fading away
Take your breath... my son...


6. AS IT WANES

Which promise am I supposed to make?
Where is my target now?
I am not able to find my way,
I'm just falling and falling

Never turn into what I fight,
Hatred tempts me to cross the line

I walk on this fragile wire, I could swoop down on him

Never turn into what I fight,
Hatred tempts me to cross the line

I must be wise and keep my hate within me
Stopped by my oath
How to control my old rage?
Not a coward, I won't be so weak
Look at me! You won't be free! I'll keep an eye on city lights
The revenge can't release me from the pain, it only snares me as it wanes
Not a culprit, not a fool 'cause I...

Never turn into what I fight,
Hatred tempts me to cross the line


7. ENCLOSURE

A cold stream inside my veins
I feel rocked by the void
Fear runs down my spine

Black swirls are dancing on my back
The sea seems to be as deep as my sleep...
- Dive Deep -
...Whispers a salty wind
I can't move nor can I breathe
Call of the waves
Implores me to

Come down
And meet me
'Cause your fear is just to imagine me
Come here dive deeper
Drown my castaway
Fade away with me

Shadows approaching closer
Engrave dread under my skin
Shades unreal
Shapes unseen
Are freezing my blood and break
The silence with a grim lament
Choir from under
Sings to me

Come down
And meet me
'Cause your fear is just to imagine me
Come here dive deeper
Drown my castaway
Fade away with me

I have tried to dig a hole in the water to see what lies beneath
And found enclosure in the void

Come down
And meet me
'Cause your fear is just to imagine me
Come here dive deeper
Drown my castaway
Fade away with me.


8. THE PASSENGERS

I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity
A lifelong memory am I forgotten

Liberate my body, liberate my existence
Liberate my body, liberate my existence

I await the final stage
A noisy place erases me
The pulse of life Is fading away
My skin has gone numb

Sharpen your spirits, not your blades
As you watch us exist, the bleeding stays
I am becoming slashed flesh
No god between us, just a burning dagger

My skin is becoming pale
Shadows are hitting from the sky
Tear this jail for me, can't bare this suffering
Lead me to my end

My end

I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity
A lifelong memory am I forgotten

Our essence scatters the red land and disappears endlessly

I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity
A lifelong memory am I forgotten

Crippled as I fight to live and love, you've become immortal.


9. INSTILL LIGHT

Here's where we leave: sand, dust, and hope, Cold sun
Please, feel lost everyday, this world can't suit you

Nothing belongs to you, no life, no being,
Respect every breathing one

Reverse the range of species
When you'll hit the ground just believe again

Mankind is a harmful blend of hatred, foolery and fear therefore you'll feel alone
Everyone is guilty when mercy descends on earth, all failures will be denounced

Reverse the range of species
When you'll hit the ground just believe again

Lend your force to the weakness of words
Barren minds will blame you for showing the truth

Everyone is guilty when mercy descends on earth, all failures will be denounced

Come feel the grief of injuries
Come and touch, face the denied crime, core of all misery
Bring your light to light up minds


10. FRAGMENTS

So I wonder if there's anyone sensing these deaf sounds.
Why everything seems so different up there?
Unnatural glittering. I can't believe it's true.

Everything you do is overpowered by itself as if your own nature was enhanced.

Confined in this circus of lights.
There are so many rules to be broken and bust.
While I watch the world above me disappear.

The Signs flame far and wide, information flows all over the space.

An entropic atmosphere of the world lies above us, it's not superstition!

Everything you do is overpowered by itself as if your own nature was enhanced.

I see so many virtual faces.
Icons of perfection, echoes of yourself.
While I watch the world above me disappear.

We march at the end of time. Unbreakable creatures.
We consume the miraculous. Coincidence of our existence. No more time for misapprehension.
The flawed space seems to collide into a nameless universe...
...But Lets rebuild the crumbling structure.
Our negligent behavior has resulted in this.
All things fall apart and bury the world.
Fragments of life.
