Tracks



01. Suffer

We all feel it in us
Our two worlds
Falling apart before our own eyes
Those forgotten
Those we abandon
They dance within our frozen dreams and make us suffer
The only path forward is to embrace the cold

There is nothing left to discover
Nothing driving our hearts much further
Holy machine, standing before me
Your lifeless eyes sing a song with only two words
Suffer human
Through our scars we suffer
The only pathway forward

There's nothing left to fight for
There's nothing left to die for
Suffer, human, slowly into the void
Eyes with no hope
Cold to the touch
A future so broken
There's nothing left to fight for
There's nothing left to die for
Suffer human slowly into the void
Suffer human
Through our scars we suffer

With one life we endure the cruelty of time
The Ancients live
Go find the truth and suffer
The only path forward is to embrace the cold
We are not meant to live forever
Yet, our ashes become immortal
Listen to the tyrants desperately renouncing
Hear them sing
Suffer human
Through our scars we suffer
The only pathway forward

There's nothing left to fight for
There's nothing left to die for
Suffer, human, slowly into the void
Eyes with no hope
Cold to the touch
A future so broken
There's nothing left to fight for
There's nothing left to die for
Suffer human slowly into the void
Suffer human
Through our scars we suffer

Tell me at what cost are we willing to let go
Helpless as the world burns
Just let go
The only peace we find is in our dreams

02. Praise Hydrus

In silence, I know you can hear it
Wide eyed, I know you can see it
Our world, our one life
Sacrificed for any price
As the old world falls
It's teeth will drag us with
Oh, how much blood must be wasted?
Crawling, I know you can feel it
In the air, I know you can taste it
Our world, our one life
Sacrificed for any price
As the old world falls
It's teeth will drag us with

In the end, only darkness
Just like before we were first born

When words fail, so begins the spiral
Hateful eyes turning to kinetic
Our world, our one life
Sacrificed for any price
As the old world falls
It's teeth will drag us with
Oh, how much blood must be wasted?

Be reborn deep within the whirlwind
Into the wild you find her echo
Hydrus, our shield maiden, shares the same fate as you and I
Her ghost still wonders in the land of endless rain

In the end, only darkness
Just like before we were first born

We once said
Praise Hydrus
The queen of poison
Her lies dripping into our bloodstream
We all said
Praise Hydrus
She fought on all sides
Be reborn, evolve into the wild

We once said
Praise Hydrus
The queen of poison
Her lies dripping into our bloodstream
We all said
Praise Hydrus
She fought on all sides
Be reborn, evolve into the wild

Our world, our one life
Sacrificed for any price
As the old world falls
It's teeth will drag us with
Oh, how much blood must be wasted?
Be reborn, evolve into the wild

In the end, only darkness
Just like before we were first born

The North
It calls
Chase the rainfall

03. Sacrifice Zone

Such trees stand as ancient towers
To shield the sky
Relentless rain shedding their leaves
As clouds move north
Watch as thunder shifts the water
We face the storm in search of the truth
No more heroes
Look around you
Fields of steel and bone
Those who came before us were devoured
These graves are so shallow
As steel extrudes from the ground
Feel the air turning colder

The storm front
Glowing from the distant star light

Onward into the wild
Waist deep wading through the blackened water
Cold rain, sings her song
Your eyes
Force them lower

Feel the whirlwind
Move in closer

Together we face the storm in search of the truth
No more heroes
Look around you
Fields of steel and bone
Those who came before us were devoured
These graves are so shallow
As steel extrudes from the ground
Feel the air turning colder

As long as we all are bound by our nature
You think it's just that simple?
I've seen how machines can tear apart our human form
Pleading
Searching for meaning
Pleading
Give us a reason

You can feel her voice in the water
Beauty steels our heart yet words of poison can break whole worlds
The storm front
It seems so long ago

We face the storm in search of the truth
No more heroes
Look around you
Fields of steel and bone
Those who came before us were devoured
These graves are so shallow
As steel extrudes from the ground
Feel the air turning colder

04. Totemic

Searching inside
You may not like what you find
The tyrant
The hero
Never forget the coward
Control and power
Digging its teeth deeper

Hear the ancient call
Feel the poison flow

Now cleanse your soul with soil and stone
As raging water fights the air

The night has to fall
Watch the trees start to glow
Cry into the wild
Any sign or response from
The tyrant
The hero
Never forget the coward
Control and power
Digging its teeth deeper

Now cleanse your soul with soil and stone
As raging water fights the air

We forged our hearts for a world that never came
Watch as we rip and tear out our skin

05. Venator

Feel your grip begin to wane
Do not look down
Feel your past begin to fade
Quickly forget

No saints, demons or angels left to find
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to fight
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to find

Now it's time to open up your eyes
Does any of this look right?
Now it's time to cleanse your mind
Do not look down

No saints, demons or angels left to find
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to fight
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to find

Hunt down every tyrant in the wild
Leave none alive

No saints, demons or angels left to find
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to fight
Only tyrants among us
Hunters who take their prey within the shadows
No saints, demons or angels left to find

06. Aphelion

Watch as the rain breaks
Only fragments of the sunrise break through the clouds
In such moments
We still remember why

We still remember what it's like to lose it all
Piece by piece we crumble
Watch us tear at our skin
These ancient embers still remain within us
Honor still evades us all

You must begin to look at this different
All life
All time
All of it
All of it burns

Memories, all of them lost
In such moments
We still remember why

We still remember what it's like to lose it all
Piece by piece we crumble
Watch us tear at our skin
These ancient embers still remain within us
Honor still evades us all
We still remember what it's like to lose it all
Piece by piece we crumble
Watch us tear at our skin
These ancient embers still remain within us
Honor still evades us all

07. The Embers Of Old Earth

If only the dead could see what these worlds have come to be
They would close their eyes and return to sleep
With every step
The synthetic divisions within her skin begin to glow

Onward to find what lies behind
Visions that curse our eyes to never see again
Onward we hunt
Traitors are marked
Vengeance so pure we vow to never sleep again

This machine world, in free fall
Watch the godless rename Babylon
The cracks in it's walls are seeping blood
Corruption dreams to cage us one by one

Don't fear the long night
Seek star light
See how they taunt us
Endless life
To start again
To be reborn from the embers of old earth
We must return
Reclaim our home world

Cursed be this gentle breeze
Like specters, who carry the scent of war
Oh, how timeless and true
Be the human course to endless ruin

Virton still breaths
High above the sea
Once shielded by Hydrus
Now so vulnerable
Do what you must
Go find your peace
Slowly in the soil or butchered by the sword

This machine world, in free fall
Watch the godless rename Babylon
The cracks in it's walls are seeping blood
Corruption dreams to cage us one by one

Don't fear the long night
Seek star light
See how they taunt us
Endless life
To start again
To be reborn from the embers of old earth
We must return
Reclaim our home world

08. When Virtue Meets Steel

Engulfed in the blinding light
That rushes from my eyes
Two titans breaking peace
They seek a grand feast

Spare me your empty words of a just world
It's been so long since any human has looked me in the eyes
You dare bring pity before me
I am the god queen

Our last human empire still remains within the shadows
As embers turn to dust
Our last human empire
Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human

Feel them breathing
Titans awaken
Hear the ancients call your name
To find the truth through beauty or cruelty
No moment for peace
Let the ancients know your name

You shall awaken
Those who sleep in the den of tyrants
Let them sing the leviathan war cry

Spare me your empty words of a safe world
You think nature cares how painful these open wounds feel
You dare bring pity before me
I am the god queen

Our last human empire still remains within the shadows
As embers turn to dust
Our last human empire
Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human

Feel them breathing
Titans awaken
Hear the ancients call your name
To find the truth through beauty or cruelty
No moment for peace
Let the ancients know your name

To see a blood line thrive
Kings and queens were born
Generations lost
To live forever forced to watch them one by one
Carried to their graves by mothers with no name
Forever bound to bury my own blood

Our last human empire still remains within the shadows
As embers turn to dust
Our last human empire
Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human

Feel them breathing
Titans awaken
Hear the ancients call your name
To find the truth through beauty or cruelty
No moment for peace
Let the ancients know your name
