Burned At The Stake
03:03
|
|||
|
To hell with knowledge!
To hell with reason!
Light up the torches
Let the witch burn at the stake
The council decided
By next nightfall
Someone is taking the blame
The moonlight casts a shadow into her soul
It separates who she was and who she'll become
Cloaked in her sorrow
Nurturing heresy
Hiding from vultures
Judging eyes watching her steps
One with isolation
In the cult of hearsay
Venomous words consumed her
To the point nothing felt real
Except the demons whispering in her ear
As the council gathers
Her untimely end becomes near
What can't be understood must disappear
To hell with knowledge!
To hell with reason!
Light up the torches and celebrate!
The moonlight casts a shadow into her soul
It separates who she was and who she'll become
The pyre rips the sky apart and settles the score
But the story won't be left untold

Eternal Recurrence
03:56
|
|||
|
Splinters of pain
Fragments of past traumas
Wasted lives shard
Swallowed by the deepest black
All goes, all slides
Does nothing remain unperishable?
The concept of immortality
Is a empty word in the wind
Oceans of spilled blood
Tears lost in the desert
Dust falls on ashes
And all shuts as moveless
Forgotten by the world's mind
All goes, all slides
Does nothing remain unperishable?
The concept of immortality
Is a empty word in the
Wind
Cities die, empires fall
Kings killed by self conceit
Generations' branches are broken
Cyclic, exceed its nature
Linearity is lost in the horizon
The new age will be the same as the previous ones

Game Of Man And Earth
03:00
|
|||
|
Rearrange, elevate
Become one with its pulse
Analyze, roll the dice
New structures will be built
And broken
And from the highest tower
You'll watch it all burn
Beneath the acid lakes
Lie the souls of the innocent
An unworthy grave
Grander schemes, hopes and dreams
Abandoned in the core
Pour the waste in the cracks
Then wait for it to explode
In silence
Ignore the signs
The gears must keep grinding
Always remember we won't be here
To pay the price for this mess anyway
The world's awake
The tides of time have turned
And you are the first in line
Death's embrace
The sound of burning coal
For you cannot escape
The game of man and earth
Look out your window
And wave to the ghosts
Through twists and turns
The path came to a dead end
By following a false prophecy
Now let the rodents claim what lies ahead
The world's awake
The tides of time have turned
And you have just crossed the line
Death's embrace
The sound of burning coal
For you cannot escape
The game of man and earth
Will you play?

Worms
04:26
|
|||
|
Alive is the worm crawling in dirt and disgust
Cluelessly wandering through its existence
Alive is the human
Contemplating his doom
And glorifying it
We put ourselves above this
We the worthless maggots
Existing only in order to be erased
Take my existence, my misery
Turn it into something
That I can bear to carry
On my rotting shoulders
I sense the agony
That pervades us all
That plagues our mind like a cancer
A scenery of annihilation
Endless and gradual arena of decay
An altar to pain
The sacrifice we pay
We feel the blade get closer
And we turn the other way
We are the impurity
We are the scum of this world
Blinded by our fear
A scenery of annihilation
Endless and gradual arena of decay
We're born beasts of burden and we die that way
Gladiators in a slaughterhouse
Embracing the pain
Unable to comprehend the reason why
They're hatched in the lion's den
When will all this suffering
Come to an end
Dwelling in the mud
Looking for the surface
Clueless wandering towards nowhere
Destined to be nothingness
We'll all die like filthy worms
Like filthy worms

Mechanical Social System
03:26
|
|||
|
A large sea of abandoned gears
Flows between emptied consciences
A long river of emptied bodies
Flows between false idols to the oblivious sea of abandon
Brains become blind, dust under your feet
Brains become blind, dust under your feet
What is the way to dismantle this?
How to stop this flowing of no-men?
I’m flowing too and i don’t want
Mechanical social system... STOP!
Twenty-four hours active furnace and its smoke
Bonfire for the useless individual souls
Shred in a common cauldron of ideologies
Mutable ideologies in function of time
Brains become blind dust under your feet
What is the way to dismantle this?
How to stop this flowing of no-men?
I’m flowing too and i don’t want
Mechanical social system... STOP!
Mechanical social system of destruction
Self-destruction for a common power
A vacuum power of nobody
It’s not true
But charming for simple-minded people
You, useless mass of branded idiots
But charming for simple-minded people
You, useless mass of branded idiots
I want to dismantle this shit
You, no-men, flow away from me!
I rise over you and i’m still
Mechanical social system... STOP!

Necropolis
03:50
|
|||
|
Revolution is what you called it
Deadly pandemic of the spirit and mind
Recognition is what you wanted
No matter how much woe you built inside
Breathe in lies, breathe out poison
Retribution is what you tasted
As your dominion sprawled into unsafe ground
Afraid to grow old
Afraid to stay unseen
Afraid to be the smallest cog of the machine
King of your empire of air and mud
Thriving in exposure but how long
Will the facade hold up?
Stuck in the third necropolis
Where humanity is asleep
Where humanity is lost
Proud troopers always on the front line
Fighting pointless wars that make them feel worth something
Breathe in lies, breathe out poison
Breathe in lies, breathe out poison
Afraid to step back
Afraid to miss your chance
Afraid to be forgotten when the story ends
King of your empire of air and mud
Sitting on your plastic throne alone
Collecting bones and dust
Stuck in the third necropolis
Where humanity is asleep
Where humanity is lost

Imperfection
03:24
|
|||
|
In empty theories of regularity
Numbers and figures complicate
Attempting to justify
The regularity of the cosmos
Immersed between fictitious worlds
Eyes get lost, they drown
They rotate like tops and they search
Confirmations of what the head says
We spasmodically search
For perfection and regularity
When the keystone of all
Is imperfection
When the keystone of all
Is imperfection
Keystone of all
Perfect symmetry and perfect form
Mangled by the cosmic irregularity
Why do we seek perfection
When also the earth where you walk
Is not quite flat
Why do you obstinate
On useless questions?
When the keystone of all
Is imperfection
We are imperfection
We are imperfection

Dead Simple
03:10
|
|||
|
Here's who I am, a shapeless soul in disrepair
A spooky skeleton wandering in the wastes
Betrayed by my own bleak, nonsensical thoughts
It is my evil twin the one who calls the shots
Unwrap the coil
Sever the broken link
Erode the soul
Until nothing remains
I'm tired of crawling on razor sharp blades
Carry me away from the noise
Away from the flowing sands
Another day, another paradox to face
All this second guessing is driving me insane
And time will turn against me when I'll need it most
I spun the wheel of fate, but it has yet to stop
Unwrap the coil
Sever the broken link
Erode the soul
Until nothing remains
Unmake the bonds
Silence the dissonance
Let all reason fail
Until nothing remains
I'm done despising the joke I've become
Bury me away from the noise
Away from the flowing sands
Unwrap the coil
Sever the broken link
Let the purging begin
Unmake the bonds
Silence the dissonance
Until nothing remains
Unwrap the coil
Sever the broken link
Let the purging begin
Unmake the bonds
Silence the dissonance
Until nothing remains

Limestone Empire
07:21
|
|||
|
The kingdom lays under rubble and debris
Eroded by death as far as the eye can see
The ooze is seeping down to my bones
I am the product of society's failures
Defaced by the acid rains
Reduced to sickness and despair
The faintest ray of light is piercing the smoke
Highlighting paths I won't walk anymore
The ravens scream the solemn dirge
Of a new era where I am not meant to be
Time is slowing down to a crawl
As the pressure becomes unbearable
Embalmed in limestone
With nails under my skin
Engulfed in shadows
With no air left to breathe
Embalmed in limestone
Decaying from within
Engulfed in shadows
With nowhere left to be
The empire crumbles in defeat
The empire tells me
It's time to stop believing
Embalmed in limestone
With nails under my skin
Engulfed in shadows
With no air left to breathe
Embalmed in limestone
Decaying from within
Engulfed in shadows
With nothing left for me to exist
