Within Flesh 04:54
In the silence a world is still collapsing. All the muted senses have a role to play. Misguided minds never cry for the sentient. Your justice, your murder. No tears, no pain. They are blissfully blind Living here, present With their eyes wide shut. The common roots of oppression still prevail Within the flesh Images speak for themselves Never forget Remember the beauty that still remains washing their blood with tears. Again and again. Silence of men leads to the silence of god. Redefine love and empathy. Where there's a place in you ? Images speak for themselves Never forget Remember the beauty that still remains washing their blood with tears. Again and again.

All of the sterile lands you once stole, to rise and fall You built empires and burnt them, in the sacred name of your own fame Shame on your success To be reborn and restart but Turn back and see that nothing grows on - those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade All your progressions must cause offense, such a nonsense Always obsessed by your ending, your plans can bloom as fast as weeds Greed leads your great quest To be reborn and restart but Turn back and see that nothing grows on - those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade Preserving treasures by caging them deciding who lives and who dies Every morning I light up another defeat and deplore my failure Amazed by your decay, you longed and hoped for an end Time of the defeat was so close, so clear, to be feared

Haven 04:09
Outcast among the crowd I wandered I couldn't feel safe, I was one of the unwanted, I had to flee I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door To be rescued, don't lay me aside Take me in, my defender Fury. It has never been a hunt, nothing more than a harvest I forgot my own name but not yours I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door To be rescued, don't lay me aside Take me in, my defender Right in the middle of devasted lands Out of reach appears a familiar sight : my shelter For once let me exist behind your walls Just once let me come and tightly grip your stairs And long for your hand to wake me up one last time Time has ruined this place as hate ruined our world So I will lie here and wait for the end of the storm Empty hall, untouched dust, beloved moonscape The garden is dead but here I am, no one will come to find me now I walked so long to reach your haven and I am here, at your door To be rescued, don't lay me aside Take me in, my defender

Disclosure 04:44
Witnesses of untold stories and true faces, icons unseen The Ages are succeeding but are all different And heroes are dying in each century, their remains disrespected Disclosure of the past to unearth the truth beneath We need to know Was it real? We have to see Cities rise again from the sand but now Our science is refuting faith and the legends The truth is so close, you just need to burrow much deeper Disclosure of the past to unearth the truth beneath We need to know Was it real? We have to see Insatiable prying can't be content with just relics

Lumen 06:09
Despairing light, I open my eyes to all hope Yearning for rebirth I turn my back on the dark and erase that soul Second life for a thousand of beings homeless, breathless, nude All is made like stone, no pretender for no throne Fragile existence Timeless substances survive Liberation from the decay No voice, no choice nothing can be shared, but I see Even the trees are grey but still I can see colours in your eyes Lumen the light of every life My crave for freedom has replaced the fear inside me The great walk goes on through past times And I recognize the dead found lands Fadeout the lament facing the new atmosphere Hands of my road mate carry the fire and lead me to blueless sea Timeless substances survive Liberation from the decay No voice, no choice nothing can be shared, but I see Even the trees are grey but still I can see colours in your eyes Lumen the light of every life When the Sun has reached its zenith the sky is still so dark Grim sight upon the horizon is fading away Take your breath... my son...

As It Wanes 04:46
Which promise am I supposed to make? Where is my target now? I am not able to find my way, I'm just falling and falling Never turn into what I fight, Hatred tempts me to cross the line I walk on this fragile wire, I could swoop down on him Never turn into what I fight, Hatred tempts me to cross the line I must be wise and keep my hate within me Stopped by my oath How to control my old rage? Not a coward, I won't be so weak Look at me! You won't be free! I'll keep an eye on city lights The revenge can't release me from the pain, it only snares me as it wanes Not a culprit, not a fool 'cause I... Never turn into what I fight, Hatred tempts me to cross the line

Enclosure 04:42
A cold stream inside my veins I feel rocked by the void Fear runs down my spine Black swirls are dancing on my back The sea seems to be as deep as my sleep... - Dive Deep - ...Whispers a salty wind I can't move nor can I breathe Call of the waves Implores me to Come down and meet me 'Cause your fear is just to imagine me Come here dive deeper drown my castaway fade away with me Shadows approaching closer Engrave dread under my skin Shades unreal Shapes unseen Are freezing my blood and break the silence with a grim lament Choir from under Sings to me Come down and meet me 'Cause your fear is just to imagine me Come here dive deeper drown my castaway fade away with me I have tried to dig a hole in the water to see what lies beneath and found enclosure in the void Come down and meet me 'Cause your fear is just to imagine me Come here dive deeper drown my castaway fade away with me.

I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity A lifelong memory am I forgotten Liberate my body, liberate my existence Liberate my body, liberate my existence I await the final stage A noisy place erases me The pulse of life Is fading away My skin has gone numb Sharpen your spirits, not your blades As you watch us exist, the bleeding stays I am becoming slashed flesh No god between us, just a burning dagger My skin is becoming pale Shadows are hitting from the sky Tear this jail for me, can't bare this suffering Lead me to my end My end I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity A lifelong memory am I forgotten Our essence scatters the red land and disappears endlessly I am your protector, unfortunate passenger of infinity A lifelong memory am I forgotten Crippled as I fight to live and love, you've become immortal.

Here's where we leave: sand, dust, and hope, Cold sun Please, feel lost everyday, this world can't suit you Nothing belongs to you, no life, no being, Respect every breathing one Reverse the range of species When you'll hit the ground just believe again Mankind is a harmful blend of hatred, foolery and fear therefore you'll feel alone Everyone is guilty when mercy descends on earth, all failures will be denounced Reverse the range of species When you'll hit the ground just believe again Lend your force to the weakness of words Barren minds will blame you for showing the truth Everyone is guilty when mercy descends on earth, all failures will be denounced Come feel the grief of injuries Come and touch, face the denied crime, core of all misery Bring your light to light up minds

Fragments 07:47
So I wonder if there's anyone sensing these deaf sounds. Why everything seems so different up there? Unnatural glittering. I can't believe it's true. Everything you do is overpowered by itself as if your own nature was enhanced. Confined in this circus of lights. There are so many rules to be broken and bust. While I watch the world above me disappear. The Signs flame far and wide, information flows all over the space. An entropic atmosphere of the world lies above us, it's not superstition! Everything you do is overpowered by itself as if your own nature was enhanced. I see so many virtual faces. Icons of perfection, echoes of yourself. While I watch the world above me disappear. We march at the end of time. Unbreakable creatures. We consume the miraculous. Coincidence of our existence. No more time for misapprehension. The flawed space seems to collide into a nameless universe... ...But Lets rebuild the crumbling structure. Our negligent behavior has resulted in this. All things fall apart and bury the world. Fragments of life.
