Tracks



01. Nescience

Why can't we be human ?
We keep talking when there's nothing to say
Stitches on my brain, coming away, coming away

No, no need, no need to know
No, you need to own
No, no need, no need to know
No own!

Just before the final roar
There's a louder silence
Whispers can be deafening
And a warning

Seven billion people ranting
Not a single word to deplore
Maggots in my brain
Rotting away, rotting away

No, no need, no need to know
No, you need to own
No, no need, no need to know
No own!

Just before the final roar
There's a louder silence
Whispers can be deafening
And a warning

Right before the biggest wave
The ocean dries up
Just a second too late, too late

02. Domino

Call - for help - unfast
The lightbulb - cower down low
You - know how - fly out - hate
Propelled - chasing - fury
Molestation - fail - inhale - dumb shout

Without forewarning
Craving salvation

Face the rising domination
You can't deny
It's pushing on you and you alone
As time goes by

[Manuel Guerrieri]:
Close - your eyes - you feel
The pressure - swelling your throat
Dazed - amazed - worn out
Break - the dam - flood out
All your - desperation
Stay - away - far out

With no forewarning
And no foundation, you still

Face the rising domination
You can't deny
A flick at a domino well known
Recurring damnation
Time to face this domination
I'm wondering why, I'm reaching for you
The resolution to save my life

Face the rising domination
You can't deny
It's pushing on you
And you alone
Incoming pollution
Face the rising domination
You're living a lie, it's all up to you
A self privation, for you might die

03. Masters

Conceived to be mindless and pray
Devotion will make me go blind
And brain is just wasting away
How can we rise
Get back the right to deny

Kneeling, revealing the biggest flaw
Breaking away
Ripping the string from the sky above
We're leaving today

Walking past all the lies
A coming of age
Crawling servants arise
Leading the way
Feel the void
Defeat and disobey

Reject conception of love
Misleading and nurturing hate
To feel pain and beg for some more
Keep your head down
Don't even try to deplore

Sleep tight but keep your eyes open wide
We're breaking away
Ripping the string from the sky above
We're leaving today

Walking past all the lies
A coming of age
Crawling servants arise
Leading the way
Feel the void
Defeat and disobey

Watching the scenes unfolding
In shades of gray relieve your pain
Sorrow is a desperate warning
For restless souls facing the end

Touching, your eyes are swollen
With uncried tears and
Scars won't mean
Calling but your voice got stolen
A toll to wake up
Freedom we praise
It's freedom we're getting today

Walking past all the lies
A coming of age
Crawling servants arise
Leading the way
Feel the void
Defeat and disobey

04. Reverie

I am coming to life
Twist the knife
A gushing stream of blood
As deep as you can go
Feel it burning
Second hand turning
Ticking my moments away
Now my hands are cold
I'm screaming till you

Wake, feel like a strange, yourself
"Let me go", trapped in a daydream alone
I'm castaway

I can not just let you cry
You're wasting you last tears
A sad never ending try
Bound to fail again

In bed, sore morning
I'm trying to keep it down
I feel inside my head
Pressure pushing you

You put your hand over mine
"Let me go", echoes in my reverie
Every day

I can not just let you cry
You're wasting your last tears
A sad never ending try
Bound to fail again

I can not take all the lies
I'm wasting my best years
A therapy long denied now i'm healing

I can not just let
You cry (can't take all the lies)
You're wasting your last tears (no more tears)
A therapy long denied
Now you're healing

05. Unplugged

I have been the color of the universe, no more
My lids pulled apart gazing nowhere
Surrogated being force fed your romance

Self-denying will to hear me
Embracing noneness
Lost in the crowd alone with you

Pull the plug
I've been told we've gone astray
That none has been left
Perpetual sleep of minds
Are we ever gonna wake?
A day to be unplugged
In blurring lightness I'm chained

Pulsing waves desaturated planet Earth, stay calm
Surrounded by everyone yet I'm no one
Every acting clown plays a tragedy

Sign of revolution itching
And leave no marking
Fate of brand new day
I'm sick of stand by you

Pull the plug
Pull the plug
Eradicate your mind

Pull the plug
I've been told we've gone astray
That none has been left
Perpetual sleep of minds
Are we ever gonna wake?
A day to be unplugged
Are you aware it's today?
Shutting down that light now

"Brain signal transmissions terminate"

06. Renovation

You have no control
Over the lies that you tell
And you borrow a new face
For every chance you take

They ask you not to be
And you won't back down
Raging against the flood
Let your ego drown

Driving down renovation road
Empty vehicles, drift in undertow
Final call, for a moral makeover
All defeat outrun, to seize the day, revived

Let your life unfold
Bursting the mask apart
Just like fire from a spark
Burn all your sins away

They ask you not to be
And you won't back down
Raging against the flood
Let your ego drown

Driving down renovation road
Empty vehicles, drift in undertow
Final call, for a moral makeover
All defeat outrun, to seize the day, revived

Faded sorrow, living out of bounds
Reach tomorrow, and feel alive

Driving down renovation road
Empty vehicles, drift in undertow
Final call, for a moral makeover
All defeat outrun, to seize the day, revived

07. Wormhole

A boy that grew up stubborn, yet deplorable
Neurasthenic he made the flesh creep
Sharper than blade
You despise what I can read

Crawling through the minds, an unattractive guy
Outrage, fear and disgust
Blended him as he fed on the dread
On your terror I feast in delight

Wormhole domain
Greatest offender
There's no cabal
He's feeding on you all

Locked tight in his dungeon, suddenly felt the sting
Of danger, nightfalling doomsday
Closer and deadly
For I am not first of my kind

Wormhole domain
Greatest offender
There's no cabal
He's feeding on you all

Wormhole domain, haunted by danger
Facing assault alone, on his own

Wormhole domain
Greatest offender
There's no cabal
He's feeding on you all

08. Square One

Look beyond
The creed and let me
Return the lies you stole
You've been struck deadly
Now you've got to know

Look inside the crib and tell me
Is that a hopeless soul?
He won't lose his grip to let go
Human forces defeated

All your beliefs are hollow
Meaningless
They're meant to let you down
And right back to square one

I won't let you blame
It on yourself
To be a lonely child
I'm on my way to ease your soul
To come and let you go

[Guillaume Bideau:]
Help me out
They're here to get me, 'cause they know
You're not alone
We're twisting inside a black hole
Human forces defeated

I won't let you blame
Blame it on yourself
To be a lonely child

I won't let you blame
It on yourself
To be a lonely child

I won't ever blame it on myself
You're deep inside my mind
It's just one more way
To ease my soul
I'll never let you go

09. Zion

Drawing to an end evolution backward
Greatest worlds traveling apart
Gathering the emptiness of nothing
We're sailing to a past now coming undone

Shelter of pure decay

Back to the same primal Zion (future nowhere in sight)
Back to where we came
Death and hunger (still the same)
Shades of gray

Golden birds of prey spinning on your deadlock
Every step's one closer to dismay
Wide awake and screaming from your own grave
You half the truth, unveil the secrets of time

Shelter of hope, shelter of life
No leap of faith

Back to the same primal Zion (future nowhere in sight)
Back to where we came
Death and hunger (still the same)
Shades of gray

Cracks on the walls, ceiling falling down
Blinded by the space around us
Bleeding away primordial
Utopia embraced

Back to where we came
Nowhere to be found (unbroken coil of life)
Still we crave and pray
For a savior

10. Blackmail

I'm kept beyond the line
I feel the rising rage
Wash away the sorrow
Who's to pay?

There's a perfect scheme
I'm going through
A plan to bear you down
I'm coming for you now
A taste for revenge

In low tide dreads are cast aside
You know it's a bait but somehow
You strive to have a taste and chew
And you won't regret
Yet you know you're dead

And you said you never ever
Give up till you're done
Then you want some more, still more
All the things you hate, all the things you hide
They will hunt you down

I step across the line
And turn another page
There's nothing I can fear now
Not a thing

It's a flight or fly position
I'm aching to get out of
Just with my bare hands
Aiming to the core

In high tide waves are rushing in
I guess they just take you by storm
And every little thing you do
Trying to stay afloat
Will just drag you down

And you said you never ever
Give up till you're done
Then you want some more, still more
All the things you hate,
All the things you hide
You will face them all

And you said you never ever
Give up till you're done
Then you want some more, still more
All the things you hate, all the things you hide
They will hunt you down

Clocks are ticking
My countdown
Moments multiply
As I count them all
Maybe, if I lie and float
Let the tide take over me

11. Madman

Maybe it's up to you
To raise a flag, surrender to the climb
The least you can do
Stop the wheel of fortune and resign

It's not what you see
When you gaze at future, unaware
You wander in time and cast around
Unsealing your fate

Fate: blackened page yet to fill not deny
Numbly gazing the cage
Nerve exposed as you choke
And await for salvation

Staring eyes
Looking way past tomorrow
There's a story foreseen
Madman as you are
Playing with fire

Back into your room
There must be a reason, a desire
You look for a proof
For your keen despair now, testified

The shame of a man
On his knees, repenting full of sorrow
"So far as my power allows
And your needs require"

Need: urge to fill the emptiness within
Yet you're idle
Torched and ablaze deep in silence
Yet you're staring

Staring eyes
Looking way past tomorrow
There's a story foreseen
Madman as you are
Playing with fire

Close your eyes
You can wait for tomorrow
Let the story begin
Madman as you were
Now rising higher
