In The Fire - Volatile Beings lyrics



Tracks



01. Feral

A hazy recollection
Of the past...
Few minutes
Try to gather my thoughts
But they won't last

Strange Giants
Appear and disappear for hours
An alternate reality
Lies in slumber
18 hours past

See the world through multiple shades of grey
The hunter that never consumes his prey
The areas I mark are mine
A warning sign

Hunger consumes
My deepest primal desires
Thunderous machines
Consuming particles terrify

Before closed doors I stand so that they can hear my cries
I must try to recollect thoughts before I...

Enemies abound
They burden a single reflection
But my bite carries deadly infection

Predator instinct
I carry five deadly weapons
I will cut your fucking throat in a second

Never knowing
Never fearing
Life fleeting
Void of meaning
Welcome to all

Bury the filth
Sifting through sands of time
Invaded territories
Now they must die
Predatory nature
Carnivorous call
Slash skin with teeth and claws

02. The Devil In The Mirror

Fire
Flash before my eyes
Omen
Bleeding through the night

The sirens deafening
anguished cries
Deadly premonition
Seething with desire

In the night I dream of terror
In the night I dream of pain
The shadows groping at the mirror
White noise for the criminally insane

I
Cross the other side
My
Realities have started to collide

In the night I dream of horror
In the night I dream of pain
The shadows groping at the mirror
They are driving me insane

It sows
What I've reaped inside my mind
Bestowed
When will I open my eyes

Is it all inside my mind?
When will I open my eyes?

In the night I dream of horror
In the night I dream of pain
The shadows groping at the mirror
They are driving me insane

It sows
What I've reaped inside my mind
Bestowed
When will I open my eyes
Do I deserve to die?

03. Into Battle

Steadfast head down
Into battle

Defend the crown
Crashing rattle

Ready to die
for all I've known

But is this fight
Really my own?

Abhorred
Never looking back
Discordant soul projection
Impertinent flashback
I'm charging into war
An abandoned soldier
My fate is sealed
There's no appeal
And retribution nevermore

Chaos war cries
Stretch far across the field
Enemies will
Die by my sword and shield

The steel of the swords clash
Thunder and lightning flash
A storm roars from the last heavens
Rain down upon the crimson stained grass

Defend
Against
Bodies growing

Blood soaked
Cut throats
Rivers of red are endlessly flowing

Revelation
Bring forth
Endure
Elevation

Preservation
Of worth
Restore
Declaration

Revelation
Bring forth
Endure
Elevation

Preservation
Of worth
Restore
Declaration

04. Channel

A single drop of blood
To nurture the soil bringing
With old wounds deeply routed
I give birth to new beginnings

The seeds of innovation
Parasitic cells of creation
Expulsion of the great sum
Of all misanthropy
A penance for my thoughts
Volcanic disquiet
They shall remember
The portraits illustrated in blood

No turning back I'm complacent
Dinner served I've devoured displacement
Enthralled with termination
The beginning of the end has begun

Roll the dice
Pay the price
Wagering your soul

Take the cards
Cut the cards
Deal them
Smile in God's face
And swallow them whole

A long road ahead
Forbodence in skies overcast
Brings a piece of nostalgic comfort to one with a spectrum of a soul
Woe is deep beneath at the core
But relief is in the canvas
It doesn't have to bear meaning to you
Just as long as it brings meaning to me

05. In The Fire

[Instrumental]

06. Techno-Sociopathic De-Evolution

Social
I'll watch this all implode
Mediation
Megalomania telescope
Heads down
Thumbs speaking
Hashtag self importance
On some
social justice
Cyberspace
of the apocalypse

Self important
Of which it stands
We read somewhere
We saw some hands
We saw something
Like we were there
Real life no more
Can we compare

Technosociopathic
Javascripted tyranny
Soul sucked problematic device
Abort the protocol
And breathe in the open air
Experience real fucking life
Download
Just point and click
Nothing physical to hold
But your phone and your dick
No modern standard can be too quick
We have sacrificed part of our souls

Barren
Wasteland murder microchip
And we're
conditioned to trust it
Linked in
Life exposed

No more rule of your domain
Intrusion
Trojan horse
Nothing remains

Self important
Of which it stands
We read somewhere
We saw some hands
We saw something
Like we were there
Real life no more
Can we compare

07. Inside Out

The years now ending their silence
But heat and pressure make diamonds
There's ovation in the truth
The imperative prelude
Shed loose the skin of all that's defiant

Oh
Hell
Yeah you know it well
Spending years alone
Locked up inside your prison cell
Compel
Yeah and now you tell
Rip the binding chains destroy your inhibitions reveal your true self

The time has now come for you to rise
Above no room for compromise
Control
Self doubt
You're turning inside out you're purified

Oh
Hell
Yeah you know it well
Spending years alone
Locked up inside your prison cell
Compel
Yeah and now you tell
Rip the binding chains destroy your inhibitions reveal your true self

Reborn
Second coming
Peel away the disguise
Reform
Create your own path
Let them see through your eyes

Oh
Hell
Yeah you know it well
Spending years alone
Locked up inside your prison cell
Compel
Yeah and now you tell
Rip the binding chains destroy your inhibitions reveal your true self

The time has now come for you to rise
Above no more room for compromise
The soul it shouts
To be let out
And we will always stand with you and fight

08. The Poisoned Rye

The yearning stomach churning pull
The glass always half empty
Never half full
Conditioned for certain decay
Affliction commence liquidate
The unavoidable compromise
Drown in apathy to paralyze

Solitude
Calm the tide
Swallow the poisoned rye
Recurrent tranquilize
The deceiver

Can't keep it
Can't leave it
Can't beat it
Alone...

Can't feed it
Can't need it
Can't weed it out
Out on its own

The method of escape
Has become the cell
Time to reach out
And get pulled out of this hell

Unsteady hands stabilize around my vice
A sense of self destruction looking for a fight
Foundations weak with temptation night after night
Scream aloud never again but knowing that's a lie

Solitude
Calm the tide
Swallow the poisoned rye

Solitude
Calm the tide
Swallow the poisoned rye
Recurrent tranquilize
The deceiver

Can't keep it
Can't leave it
Can't beat it
Alone...

Can't feed it
Can't need it
Can't weed it out
Out on its own

The method of escape
Has become the cell
Time to reach out
And get pulled out of this hell
