01. Nomenklatura

It's all around
A solid wall of lies
Designed on massive scales
Still, we abide and tolerate

Because we know
We cannot stop the fall
Because we know
It's getting worst day after day

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

We are destined
To be expendable products
To emulate cheap happiness
Like zealots, we imitate

We do our part
Secluded in vain deceptions
But soon glory fades
And there is nothing left but suffering

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

Our god is dead
Since we have been proclaimed divine
We have become but empty shells
No faith could feed or sustain us

We drift from place to place
Sunken in miserable dreams
We feel no love, we feel no hate
And face the heart of destruction

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

02. A.E.O.N.

I am the hollow face
Who controls vile delusion
And bends the souls of men
A kind and gentle voice
To lure the Great Unwashed
All hail the age of sin

Like every traitor and willing pawns
I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach
Are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your head
I only exist to entertain
To prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

To lead and to fulfill
The plebeians desires
To corrupt and subvert
I need but to despise
The very substance of truth
And define what is right

Like every traitor and willing pawns
I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach
Are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your head
I only exist to entertain
To prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

Like every traitor
I believe in my own lies
The words I preach
Are but systematic shifts

And you shall move
On my very commands
Your shattered will
Is such a delight for me

Like every traitor and willing pawns
I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach
Are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your head
I only exist to entertain
To prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

03. Doomsday Party

Doomsday party is starting out

Silhouettes flicking in dead lights
Ten thousand degrees Fahrenheit
We burst in solid centigrade
Heat transfer amplified

Kinetic figures all around
Dangerous girls in overdrive
Blood pressure widening our eyes
Ecstatic, polarized

Watch now - the sun is fading away
And still - the skyline is glowing in bright white
Let's drown - in such an assembly
Let's yell - until it all turn to black
(Doomsday party is starting out)

Testing endurance to defy
The low performance, we deny
All body failure, aiming high
Our breath intensified

And this is how we realize
The tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived

And this is how we realize
The tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived

We stop all motion for a while
And bleed just to feel alive
Like a wave submerging us
We fall and shiver
The welkin starts to ignite

And we know it won't last forever
It's nothing but a lie
A frail substitute for joy
Still, we want to define the line
Where life and death unite
Where night and day intertwine

We love and hate on fast forward
The momentum is getting wrong
Adrenaline is gasoline
The taste of dust is getting strong

Watch now - the sun is fa ding away
And still - the skyline is glowing in bright white
Let's drown - in such an assembly
Let's yell - until it all turn to black
(Doomsday party is starting out)

And this is how we realize
The tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived

And this is how we realize
The tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived

04. Human Black Box

I used to struggle to change it all
To get rid of my misery
I used to believe it should be easy
To end all suffering

It always looks the same:
A ghastly place for pigs and mundane depravity
We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars won't forever win

I ran full circle then realized
It was much better to take a seat
And watch this gruesome tragedy
With all its torment freaks

It always looks the same:
A ghastly place for pigs and mundane depravity
We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars won?t forever win

No matter our will-power or might
We have no mean to define
The very course of fate

It's nothing but delusion:
No one can change what lies inside
No one can purge
The wrong side of mankind

We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars are destined to die as well
Here lies the fairness of this life

05. KillJoy

All what you stand for
This secure fortress of faithful convictions
Inspire me at disbelief
So full of yourself, you stare at me and say:

?Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Don?t play your devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake?

You know what?s right or wrong
Jumping to conclusions, so likely to condemn
And take a single wise word for eternal truth
That?s why you?ll always say:

?Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Don?t play your devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake?

I just look for something you?ll never grasp
A world neither black nor white, a wider definition
For nothing is downright pure or completely dark
Like myriads of variations for every shade of grey

Once I question your dual pattern
You can but whisper
?Don?t challenge me because
I am the righteous one?
And try to conceal your confusion
You wish I?d walk away
So that your small, manicheist world
Would always stay the same

Your second-rate creed is such a dismay

?Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Don?t play your devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil?s advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake?

06. I Am Ultraviolence

I want to crush this world
Drenched in blood I'll rejoice
I'm prone to destroy all what is standing in my way
For I could confront the creator itself

I'm not here to give in charity
When hate is such a delicacy
I can't help thinking with a grin
Of your spine smashed under my feet

Why on earth should I restrain my inborn violence?
When I see them all looking for absurd excuses
To murder and slay, longing for senseless massacres
I won?t try to hide such a radiant foolishness

I want to crush this world
Drenched in blood I'll rejoice
I'm prone to destroy all what is standing in my way
For I could confront the creator itself

Why should I engage in this masquerade?
I don't wish to fuck around
And accept to face the worst of myself
Yes, I AM ULTRAVIOLENCE

07. Electronegative

From the very beginning, I felt I couldn't live this way
To debase myself for the sake of your society
I blame your vain deceits for I see the plain hypocrisy
Of concealing my thoughts to gain security

I wasn't born into this world
To endure your failures and faults
For life is but once given
I'd rather stand here on my own
For I don?t wish to trade my soul
I loathe this deficient civilization

When saints are just dead sinners amended and revised
No wonder why greed and humiliation
Become the norms to bound and regulate humankind
We welcome the reign of consternation

Hey, look at yourselves
Crawling in filth and blatant lies
Still fooling yourselves
You run away until you die

I remain dazed and speechless in front of such inanity
Is it mere wishful thinking to ask for rationality?
To rate by proxy judgements, to never doubt authority
It doesn't sound like freewill but calculated slavery

Just as diamond and coal are made of similar matter
It is easy to confuse a swine in business suit from a man
Feels like I am the sole survivor of a vanished nation
Which knew that truth lays in this place no one dares to explore

When saints are just dead sinners amended and revised
No wonder why greed and humiliation
Become the norms to bound and regulate humankind
We welcome the reign of consternation

Lays in this place no one dares to explore

08. In The Cold Light

I just close my eyes, and wait until the very end
To face this dreadful day
Hiding in this room and submerged by the glowing dawn
I can feel but regrets

I wish I could change it all, all the mistakes I've made
But I can't just forget the bitter taste of shame
I wish I were strong enough to deaden all my pain
Yet I can but descend and consume in despair

In the cold light
In the cold light of the day
In the cold light
In the cold light of the day every joy turns to let down
In the cold light
In the cold light
In the cold light of the day

09. Lucifer Effect

Disillusioned yet fascinated
With bitter cruelty
You deny the sanctity of flesh
Urging me to destroy

You say it?s not a question of trust
The strongest don?t lie
No matter if I have to bleed
My own kind, it?s all right

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

Oh doppelganger
I hear you in my head whispering ?What a joke!
Their so-called faith and beliefs are but filth
Give up all tolerance

They loathe lust and depravity
But ignore their own sins
When zeitgeist extols raw pandemonium
Bring them hell?

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

?Prepare yourself to be deceived
By those you entrust
Your very dreams or darkest fears
To be double crossed?

There is no place for hope in you world
You love to deride my sustained endeavour
To find a way, to stand still

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

10. Love Like Blood

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
But life is short I'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
'Til legends live and man is god again
And self-preservation rules the day no more

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

11. Meridian A.D.

We believe to be eternal
Until we face the point of no return
All state of grace is transient
All shall die and turn to ashes and dust

Desacralized, desensitized
We chasing the light just wishing to live a little more
It's like a hole inside our chest
A clear cut bleeding, always open wide

To reach the apex of life
Is to walk in a vale of tears
Heavens still remain out of sight
Wherever we watch
To reach the apex of life
Is to walk in a vale of tears
We shine to finally dissolve
In oblivion
And be absolved through death

We've looked for strength through joy
Deprivation is all what we get
We've kept on trying to reach the stars
And deny mortality

We rise to better fall
Condemned to rust
And crumble for centuries
To behold the leftovers
Of our dreams
Now turn to smoking ruins

We ride the whirlwind of doom
A gigantic storm
Of cataclysmic and catastrophic proportions

It's like a hole inside our chest
A clear cut bleeding, always open wide

To reach the apex of life
Is to walk in a vale of tears
Heavens still remain out of sight
Wherever we watch
To reach the apex of life
Is to walk in a vale of tears
We shine to finally dissolve
In oblivion
And be absolved through death

12. From Zero To Nothing

Day after day
Recurring self-acting gestures
I can but feel this repetition
And stand benumbed
I cannot run away
My existence in dissolution
How could I break
This steady cycle
To rise instead
Into the light again

I have been waiting for the day
When I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing

I have been waiting for the day
When I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

When there is no way out
All just become insignificant
I can't breath
I can't sleep
Am I dead
No more faith
No more hopes
No more dreams

I have been waiting for the day
When I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing

I have been waiting for the day
When I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

13. Flesh Doll For Sale

Music by Sybreed
Lyrics by Benjamin Nominet
Your skin is such a perfect lie
I never get enough
Of your sweet, deceptive delight
It burns me like a wound

I know you're never truly here
No matter what I see
Your voice is nothing but a dirge
Celebrating downfall and sin

Stunned and cold, whether I hate or adore
Your glorious body, I can t escape from lust and vanity
Crimson doll delivering plastic love
Giving mercy killing
Please consume me with your kiss
Don t set me free

You're like a frozen shade of black
I couldn't tear apart
Helpless, I want to ruin you
To penetrate you deep inside

I know you're never truly here
No matter what I see
Your voice is nothing but a dirge
Celebrating downfall and sin

Stunned and cold, whether I hate or adore
Your glorious body, I can t escape from lust and vanity
Crimson doll delivering plastic love
Giving mercy killing
Please consume me with your kiss
Don t set me free

Sometimes I try to break loose from you
To slip out of your grasp
But pure devotion to flesh and pain
Is a lasting poison

I know I cannot run away from you
I keep drowning inside your eyes
I hope I ll never find a way to cure
My jaded heart from your scarlet smile

Your fragrance is all but innocent
I can t defy your cruel yet erotic touch

Stunned and cold, whether I hate or adore
Your glorious body, I can t escape from lust and vanity
Crimson doll delivering plastic love
Giving mercy killing
Please consume me with your kiss
Don t set me free
