Tracks
01. Lumerian
Gathering all the hidden keys
Turning rocks to diamonds
I'll lead you in
I will make it easy now
Turn unrest to comfort
By my side you may close your eyes
And I'll be your guidance
Come suffering, let me be your medicine
Lay your hopes on me
We're hunting blind and aimless
Embracing gods to feel their light
We fell from grace right into the unknown
I believe
That in the end we could be something more
But every trace of who we are is gone
Still I hope we could be the ones
Be the ones
And I see
How we surrender for the endless greed
And we do nothing to prevent its spear
To keep piercing into our hearts
Our hearts
Open minds unveil the disguise
Of the friendly imposter
Who lures you in
Wearing a warmhearted grin
To leech off your vein
We are done
Feeding the machine
Losing trail of our only home
We're hunting blind and aimless
Embracing gods to feel their light
We fell from hope right into the unknown
A day will come
A time to deal with what we did
And our pride will crumble down on us
Someday we'll scream
To raise our voice for our belief
Together we can change the fate of all
I believe
That in the end we could be something more
But every trace of who we are is gone
Still I hope we could be the ones
Be the ones
And I see
How we surrender for the endless greed
And we do nothing to prevent its spear
To keep piercing into our hearts
Our hearts
Our hearts
02. Deceiver
Love, light, have abandoned our side
Leaving us dull without will to thrive
Lives pass uneventfully by
Anything challenging set aside
Stand by, let the tension arrive
Grateful receive what deceit provides
This vice is a sinful ally
Fading to black every glimpse of light
When the heart is young and the will is strong
You expect yourself to conquer
But the winds of time will disperse the signs
That you left to find your trail
In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest
Someday I will do as you say
Cracking my armour to break away
All blame I assign to myself
Carrying the guilt of a doom we share
When the heart is young and the will is strong
You expect yourself to conquer
But the winds of time will disperse the signs
That you left to find your trail
In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest
You're my shadow within
And I'll give what I harvest to you
In the river of shame
Certain we immerse
Preying on the blessed
In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest
03. Monarch
When the eyes of war
Set their sight on the dissident land
When the meek turn clamorous
And the sheep are the lions
As the curtain falls
And devotion is measured in blood
Hear the monarch call
For the lost and the bitter
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright (so bright)
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (with cries)
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
I'm a walking corpse
Who abandoned humanity's cause
To become the god of harm
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones
For the ones who confronted my hate
Artisan of gore
Steaming smothering venom
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright (so bright)
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (with cries)
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn't strength
And you were raised to be a man
And sometimes when you're alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line
Just hoping to become the same
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise (the same)
Carry a banner of misleading pride
They are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
They are the ghosts of our time
04. Illusion
Here we are
Blaming failure on the other
Here we are awaiting to depart
Do we care
Just enough to aid our brother?
Do we care enough to cease the harm?
With every step we take we get further away
From everything we need to reach harmony
For all of us who won't linger on to pretend
And everyone who follows their dreams
Run away
From the weights that keep you cornered
Find a way to take back what is yours
You and I
We're depending on each other
While divided we won't hear the call
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time?
Give yourself up for the others?
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share
The man in charge is announcing
He'll be the one who saves the earth and feeds the poor
And when that promise is broken
The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne
For every step he takes, we get further away
From finding what we need to reach unity
With every word he says he condemns who we are
Depriving us from reaching our dreams
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time?
Give yourself up for the others?
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share
05. Antagonist
With the rejects and lonely I blend
With the beggars and junkies I welcome the pain
Of a life as the target of blame
For the outcast who wouldn't align
With the ruthless unfairness that rules on our time
For the wolves driven out by the lambs
You're mistaking the crook for the honest
While you're building your homes far away from us
Raising walls to keep us on the outside
Of your meaningless life
Fire up your guns, to honor the ones
Who walk on the edge of the light to follow their cause
Fire up your guns, defying the kings
For the word that they preach
Is the wound that is making us bleed
I break my bread with the thieves
I share my wine with the villain you fear
To be cursed by the ones you revere
The weak and the bullied, we are
The tyrant is feeding us crumbs from its hand
Celebrate a disheartening life
Dishonesty cracks in the light
Necessity forces the proud to be humble
Failure in life purifies
Dependency dampens the wild
Inequity weighs down the motion of progress
Life isn't just to survive
Fire up the guns, light up the flame and they will hear
Let anger be the voice that speaks
Born, as a shade in the dark
Like a stain of shame
On the flag of our cultural pride
Are we all unaware of our loss?
For a part of our kin
We refuse to relieve and condemn to exile
Fire up your guns, to honor the ones
Who walk on the edge of the light to follow their cause
Fire up your guns, defying the kings
For the word that they preach is the wound that is making us bleed
Fire up your guns
06. Modesty
Searching for a cause
Leaning on the answers
Nothing comes to mind
When grasping for a thought
Nevermind the cost
Our rival is our modesty
Compromised ideas
Muddy at their core
Freeing yourself from right and wrong
Leaving behind all pride and shame
Follow me, follow us
'Cause there's no one coming to help us
Coming to help us
To defeat this monster
Follow me, follow us
Are we strong enough to betray
Our love and our affection
To defeat this monster
We're better off alone
Nothing left here to discuss
If you bought or if you sold
You still won't get what you want
Freeing yourself from right and wrong
Leaving behind all pride and shame
Closing the door for mental burden
Welcoming back the ones who left
Follow me, follow us
'Cause there's no one coming to help us
Coming to help us
To defeat this monster
Follow me, follow us
Are we strong enough to betray
Our love and our affection
To defeat this monster
'Cause sometimes it is hard to feel hope
07. Dissident
Use your head, break away from this
Don't trust in a scale unfairly levelled
Ask yourself, do I need to stay
Or am I restrained by my possessions
Wake us up, free us from our fate
Give us something real to fight for
Break us out from reality
Rescue us from domination
Take the lead to guide the course
Break the chains enslaving us
We are one, undivided fallen sons
And we are designed to open our hearts to the night
Not to serve and comply
We have a fire burning inside of us all
Driving us to break out
Take the fall, blame it on yourself
Gather what you've lost and start from zero
Wander on, sacred is your time
Don't resign the things you care for
No remorse, no passivity
Driven by determination
Take control of your innocence
It is easy to walk the distance and fade away
Away we go to the unknown
To lessen the pain
So far within, it breaks the skin
And clears the trail
Be aware of your ignorance
There's a reason why the deceitful do find a prey
Among the lost we share the cost
And feed off the pain
The time is in, thicken your skin
And give it a chance
We are one, undivided fallen sons
And we are designed to open our hearts to the night
Not to serve and comply
We have a fire burning inside of us all
Driving us to break out
We are the designed to fight for what burns in our hearts
To unleash who we are
'Cause there is a fire burning inside of us all
Tearing down every wall
08. Fortune
Time, it's unveiling every end
What we couldn't comprehend is now avowed
Weak is the soul of every man
And the wicked ones decide the fate of all
And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the battles lost
We still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know our name
When in darkness we will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall
There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near
Cold is the hand that rules the game
And the pieces of the play have no control
Doomed is the heart of every man
That is taking for himself what is for all
And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the fights you've lost
You still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know your name
When in darkness you will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall
There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near
