We Stand As One 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Here I stand, alone with nothing, seeking for a way to live like embers burning so ignite this dormant soul A fixed stare lurks all my steps The pressure doesn't seem to leave and I feel the constant whispers bashing taking my existence for granted Bleeding out, I face again those lacerating horrors A sign in the depths of the abyss draws me, to let me know the way back home In my mind, the balance shall be restored, the harm undone Those past pages cannot return, they fuel my resolve Raise your voice, confront the angst, we, we stand as one Hold the king's head as high as his pride to make him fear Make him bleed Make him grief We learn through suffering To sever those mischievous seeds To put down condescending façades If you think we are weak, you're so naive Don't forget that you are mortal, not a god. People that carry on alone suffer more. There's one way through hell, going right through it.

The Truth Behind 04:00
lyrics
buy track
False prophets, corrupting our minds Polluting on the innocent. One lie for all For all one cross A tragedy we live for You are not entitled to think The world's mere black or white Just listen to the words, forget the truth behind We know what you have to assume We know how to make empty shells This code corrupts our trust, misleading Paths, intertwined, in eternal machination. Shaping a new reality worth of their purpose What’s true? What’s false? Can we really find the truth? Premeditated Chaos! Stricken by the masses that govern us Sermonized by our fake saviors, guided to ignorance The illusions they've created Will shape this false construct Accept what you've been given For they serve a greater cause They lie for gold They kill to prevail False prophets, corrupting our minds Polluting on the innocent. virtually every term of political discourse has two meanings, one is its literal meaning and the second , which is often quite different, is its usage in political discourse or political warfare I just want to make one thing clear before this ends in calamity The Truth is a lie, there is no such thing in this world of insanity

Fed By Blood 04:16
lyrics

We have been chained for too long The time has come to raise ourselves They live by our ache, our wounds have an end fed by need, fed by blood fed by blood We will make them bleed Our defenders have a knife to our necks Their words build a kingdom of fiction A promised heaven where you can feel the flames behind Heat embraces us Through this fire they drain our will cowardly Constructing their convenient moral code Side to side, front to back, a path of thorns We slowly let ourselves be stomped upon They use the lies to hide the blame Starting over and over and over again a new day, all the same But these scars won't be ignored Insatiable Parasite, master of deceit, born to survive rotten to the core After all, we are the host, The change is in our hands Corruption does not look for our sake Open your eyes reignite the flame Burn all the pages, remove the veil is time to end this pain A call to arms, an unsilent demise Break the shackles Take their crown off There’s no need to be choked anymore Break the shackles Take their crown off We have been chained for too long The time has come to raise ourselves They live by our ache, our wounds have an end Fed by need, fed by blood

Involution 03:29
lyrics
buy track
The nature of our being Corrupted by the poison that blurs our minds Seduced by the wrong path we are A prison Where the ignorance lies Being limited by a reality not far from unreal to which we are attached, to which we're dragged by its venomous appeal Condemned to witness our end When we toast with the gravedigger, when we spill venom on our ground and peaceless saviors tie our necks; we’ll beg to kiss a coin under the tongue Heading to the abyss pointing out the culprits knowing that we have all erred. So fool but self-centered enough to think we are untouchable As once we were told “ All that glitters is not gold “ Yet blinded by greediness, we portray ourselves as Midas' sons If "actions speak louder than words", this silence is suffocating us. Passivity reigns supreme Maybe that's our destiny We're condemned to witness our end No sympathy, no progression. Trying to feel safe with no boundaries. Bury us in a place where we can sleep Please, help us!

A Vertex Beyond Reach 03:26
lyrics

From the depths of this painful existence A well known path, walked in many occasions past Yet I haven't cleared the maze Though I have my heart, my true honest compass Breath in, I must endure through this nightmare Breath out, the tears can't be counted keep calm, a vile swarm is nigh keep straight, feel the instinct inside Shudders, tingles, shivers, invade our senses Silent spiders come round running through our skin In my own hell Through thorns I have walked and bled it all My new self will be born I’ll break this jail when the time comes I built a wall that didn’t let me see beyond Constantly dragging myself into a vortex A never ending spiral infesting me with starving leeches Breath in, I must endure through this nightmare Breath out, the tears can't be counted Keep calm, a vile swarm is nigh Keep straight, feel the instinct inside Move on, there’s no surrendering Don’t stop, clouds have a silver lining Go on, the vertex awaits Go on, the vertex awaits

Delusion 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Suffering at the chasm of the world, with no fire to light the torch So much to scream but no one ever listens It’s the truth against your lies. Your stupid bullshit... Delusion, a mirage that is blinding all of us... For every death that’s harder to cover, no divinity to feed the hunger. Can we beat that? Can we stop that? (Only oppressions on our hearts) Mad preachers spit “believe me! believe me!” with a Holy Grail full of blood. Can we beat that? Can we stop that? (Only oppressions on our hearts) How could we accept all the scars and the wounds when we’re cutting our veins to feel? Can you beat us? Do you fear us? Hear the sound of a conscience you can’t see around. Le vent se lève! Misery, business, apathy Put a noose around my neck. Why are we keeping this farce of lies? Your fucking bullshit! Delusion, a mirage that is blinding all of us... There’s a madness, it’s living in here They keep murdering all of us. Can we beat that? Can we stop that? (Only oppressions on our hearts) We’re drowning our heads under water, trembling for the shark attack. Are we condemned ‘till the end? Will we still believe in them? Don’t listen to their hateful words. This sickness is killing all of us! Suffering at the chasm of the world, with no fire to light the torch. So much to scream but no one ever listens. No one ever listens. No one.

Breathwish 05:52
lyrics

Waiting still in the grave for a break, leaving behind the gold that made us shine Love yourself, live and die Live your life, we all die every day in vain We all die, our sadness will never end Rebuild your tears in elixir (in elixir, in elixir) Dream until they cease to be dreams, make it real Destroy all my veins Destroy all my heart Leave me alone with my remains and I will rise In misery we find our fire The narrow walls was once our fear (And now we don't remember) Unable to see something well (When before the world was our fair) Our blood to feed our enemies (You are not them) But every defeat is a victory inside of us Now finish our contemplation of our surrender (Don’t fall again!) One by one we share the same old rain (out of sight) Do you find another purpose to live in this catastrophe? We ourselves degenerate our task while refuse our fate Destroy all my veins Destroy all my heart Leave me alone with my remains and I will rise We have endured and will survive to all depressions And we have fought all oppressions Condemned, enslaved, insured to suffer And we’re still here, facing it all Nothing can stop us now The one truth is a lie Nothing can stop us now We are not so weak

Sutra Of Silence 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Whisper me a sad melody, ‘cause this nervous feeling is our culture breaking the tranquility and nobody wants to bite that black tongue So insecure, with no path and carrying a cross of shame There’s no love for us just hollow words that mean nothing, just hollow words… Broken promises, that’s all what they spread You can’t take what comes from me Pray. Pray for hate. hate Hand me the poetry that really saves me. Leave me the silence, the peace that I need. The ocean where I float and the river where I found my calm. My heart is sinking into the deep beyond No stone can crush this tideless sea No anchors Knotting my feet my lungs turned gills swimming with sharks doesn’t make you a monster My serenity crumbles and reflections concludes in nothing, choking the heart to wring out the emotions If you think that it’s easy to not suffer from the bleeding There’s no glory motherfucker, if you don’t have the guts So Whistle me the good melody, ‘cause your discourse doesn't speak So many nights of sacrifice to write a poem for this life It’s just a memory of the forgotten ones If you don’t have anything to say, respect the silence. Keep the sutra, just rest in peace forever.

Avalanche 06:39
lyrics
buy track
Built under this whoremonger and sick plutocratic norm, Who rips food from hands to fatten it's selfish greed will be the one who will live, worthy and happy Parasites filled with avarice Crushing our existence Nothing to be seen beyond this black horizon Violence tempered like oppression “Human rights and freedom are just moralistic obsessions" Until I lose my hand, I won't stop to write this truth We went from living in peace to hunt each other. Homo hominis lupus est We go against the grain to improve our own existence Defying all the odds We are Avalanche! Hearing stories with no future A pleasure that means pain Taking chances, breaking free You are Avalanche! Money palaces faking social empathy whereas Corporate Entities reproduce inequalities Politicians preaching Hate, Fear and Prejudice while Media outlets spread lies and misinformation How long are you willing to... How long are you willing to let this through? We're so helpless down here. I feel our lives so insecure As we got lost, empty words we believed from a king on his throne. There's nothing left... We are not afraid of them Because always in the darkest times, It is when culture emerges with more force, consciousness, the union of all souls that will overwhelm your Empire of Misery
