Tracks



01. Stoic

Social monsters break your wings
They make you crawl like a worm
You hate yourself for being weak
And break through hostility
After falling you have to rise
But they won’t let you grow your wings back
And then you start to crawl
So relentless like you are invincible
No perfection, no purity can be obtained
Pleasure, disgust, lust, fear.
They rob you of human nature on your way
But what is a man without his sins?
What’sa man without pain?
What is a man with no dreams?
What is a man without eternal struggle?
You fight and sometimes you lose.
But it’s not about what you get
It’s who you’re becoming
Coldness grows in your heart
It’s your only friend
Unbiased thinker can understand the universal reason
The world has gone awry
The world has gone mad

02. Watching Emptiness

Silence can be torn by the sounds of grief.
A bird flies high and falls like a stone
A tree loses its leaves, they wither and die
Mountains become flat with time,
Waters lick rocks until they disappear in the hungry mouth of the sea
Everything comes to neglect as its eventual logical end
Power and wealth, beauty and fame put us to a test
And just few pass it successfully.
Rivers turn dry remaining scars on earth
Emptiness gathers and becomes thick
Sounds of time devour relics of the past and remnants of happiness
And silence falls
And I’m watching emptiness
Memory is like a root that crawls deep through life
Sometimes it’s like a rainfall that floods everything inside
Stars lose their light and fall forever into light
We have no truth that heals
Only truth that kills
I’m watching emptiness
Standing on the cliff of life, I’m watching emptiness.

03. A Blind Man In Darkness

Be blessed and be curse the way our flesh dwells in the universe
Lies cover everything like a shroud
Truth has choked in atmosphere of deception
Rivers of life carry souls
You watch them from afar
Darkness will reach them with its destroying hands of death
They’re aware of it and live in fear
You hear stillness of crestfallen hearts
And words erased from memory by eternity
Sometimes you see nothing but there’s nothing to see
In pitch black darkness of delusions no fire to serve as a beacon
Gruesome lands of tragedies emit fears
Crowds sip venomous tears of broken hopes
Taking vital decisions you draw a map of your life
And shape yourself
Going down the road of bloody misfortunes
Troubles rip at your soul
But you have to prevail
By taking less travelled roads you obtain yourself
Like every kingdom that falls and then rises from ruins
A man must rebuilt himself with his own hands
And walk tall
Die and revive!

05. Plague

Iron jaws are tightly closed
The truth is caged
The bones of trust were broken
And the tongue is silent
Limbs that used to carry a vessel of wisdom
Now are weak and motionless.
Scars run deep and long across the face
Depicting a portrait of ugliness and death
This is what my land has become
The future is doomed
Seeds of hate and fear grow, endlessly grow inside.
Oceans of blind eyes can’t tell truth from lies
Temples of justice strange innocence
With greedy twisted hands they steal everything they can.
With greedy twisted minds they cultivate a nation with plague in heart.

06. Darkness Becomes Us

I feel the presence of corrupted souls
The sun burns the sign of evil on servants’ skin
Well-oiled machine gives a gasp
Symbolic masks can no longer hide the faces of their owners
Overwhelmed with power and might
Infested with devil’s worms
The ruler’s sanity dims
Victims turn into vultures
And enjoy their revenge on rotten corpses of lions and kings
Perversions of daily routine poison the soul of the man today
His petrified heart can no longer feel
And dried eyes shed no tears of repent
Pathetic thoughts and obscene desires
That’s our paradise
It’s built on earth and it’s splendid
Gory illustrations show sins in prime
Thousands of pages of lies are written for a mentally blind mob
Nothingness spreads and grows, becoming strong
Winds bring the smell of death that makes everyone drunk
Darkness becomes us
We become darkness

07. Anhedonia

Yesterday’s pleasures bring you no joy
Dissatisfied hunger is so hard to quench
Young flesh
Fresh blood
Can’t break your indifference
Nothing touches your heart
Your skin is numbed
Disease of consumption
Has played a lowdown trick
You scream with fear
As a blade of steel bites into skin
Disaster is near
Anhedonia has turned you into a freak
Your poisoned soul and body are in the grasp of pestilence
Haute cuisine
Carnal pleasures and wine
Everything is so tasteless
You, don’t ask why!
Year after year you’ve been destroying yourself
Hateful existence
Miserable and ugly days, nights
Striving for pleasures of heaven
You create your own hell
