The Fallen 00:46
2.
A blast of darkness Left in a storm In shock and lost Now my world is torn I look for shelter to try to exist The only option: survive and resist The tension built up for several years The war was inevitable as we had feared I mourn the dead and curse the enemy I pray to no one for some peace For some peace that never comes We lived through chaos, but we’re back From the ashes of the past Resuscitation A new chapter begins, we’re now free Far away from the fascist regime Abdication Leave them behind to self-annihilate Neutralizing those we hate You should have killed us, we’re stronger I’m marching on with newfound brothers From the ashes of the past We are back and we're here to last Motherfucker We lived through chaos Nothing left to lose No expectations Now let's choose The path of freedom And let them dwell In the confinement Of their own hell Resuscitation A new chapter begins, we’re now free Far away from the fascist regime Abdication Leave them behind to self-annihilate Neutralizing those we hate Abdication Leave them behind to self-annihilate Neutralizing the bastards we hate

Kleptomaniac 03:42
Brothers from a young age It seems you’ve gone insane Drug abuse, the mind destroyed Whatever happened to your soul Insanity, no self-control Memory, an empty void Kleptomaniac Conspiracy and lies Paranoid tendency Severing the ties No dignity no self-respect The pain you cause makes me wretch Uncontrollable urge to act Betrayed and hurt the outrage grows Anxiety, no self-control Now there’s no more turning back Kleptomaniac Conspiracy and lies Paranoid tendency Severing the ties Self-inflicted misery Nowhere to go, nothing to say You’ve made it clear to stay the fuck away Now the dust has settled in You may soon realize The mistake you made that day Until that point, the truce is clear In madness you will stay

Constricted 04:11
Crushed by a dream that never came true Conform to the rules set for you Follow in the footsteps of the unsurpassed That all got left in the long lost past Constricted A noose around my neck Afflicted Violence is setting in Degraded My ego is getting crushed Persuaded Listen to those we trust Choke me, restrain me, hold me down Submerged to deep, about to drown I can’t see the light at the end of this tunnel Battered and bruised, as my gut gets pummeled Constricted A noose around my neck Afflicted Violence is setting in My hopes and dreams fade away with my life The final blow, swing of the knife Total control taken from me Finally death has come to set me free Constricted A noose around my neck Afflicted Violence is setting in Degraded My ego is getting crushed Persuaded Listen to those we trust Tighter and tighter, my air pipes close Delusion, delirium, oxygen low A state of euphoria, a sense of bliss Forgotten all the bullshit that made me exist

Accomplice 04:05
The outrage reigns supreme down here Planetary unrest is beyond severe The hope is gone from coast to coast As hate towards the "others" grows Owner of truth and final words governs ruthlessly over the herd Then we follow, then we pray our problems away Invisible threats, invincible lies Forging confusion, splitting minds Bending science and morality Collective psychosis complete Idealist, a list of ideals that will never be accomplished I'm in a mist in the midst of hysteria, I am just your accomplice Bend reality to their will Send morality and justice away for the kill Frantically, we compete and consume All rules are off until our doom The promise of heaven is why we breed But the fear of hell is why we bleed Owner of truth and final words governs ruthlessly over the herd Then we follow, then we pray our problems away Idealist, a list of ideals that will never be accomplished I'm in a mist in the midst of hysteria, I am just your accomplice This is just a smoke screen

Chiroptera 04:29
We pillage and plunder the natural world Taking everything that we want No thoughts of future consequence Deforestation, decimation Wings of death fly through the sky Echolocating their prey Humanity has taken over now But soon they all shall pay Past the point of no return Global destruction is our path The old world order shall rise up And poison the human wrath Chiroptera Unstoppable We panic and beg for our savior now Equilibrate Dominate The Earth is more powerful than we know Deep inside the jungle dwells An evil that is brewing The bats shall plague us with their blood Inside our pots they’re stewing The pandemic has spread across the globe The plan has been made clear We’ve been outsmarted once again By mammals with no fear Chiroptera Unstoppable We panic and beg for our savior now Equilibrate Dominate The Earth is more powerful than we know They’re swarming down Past the point of no return Destruction is our path Old world order shall rise up Poison the human wrath
7.
Suspect 04:26
As a wolf in sheep's clothing You learned to use the card Of a bully playing victim But we won't forget who you are Now you fake social justice just to deceive But you never practiced what you preach Just another weapon in the list Of a pervert and a narcissist We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud Who signals his virtue and others' flaws Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts But one day, you’ll come face to face with the past You act inclusive to divide The abusive power it provides Just another tool to throw the blame But deep inside you're still the same Replace their trust with treachery To crush the ones that you proclaim unworthy At all cost you seek love and respect But we identified the suspect We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud Who signals his virtue and others' flaws Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts But one day, you’ll come face to face with the past We know who you are At all cost you seek love and respect But we identified the suspect Bashing away at former friends Cashing in on current trends Switching appearance without shame You try to reinvent your game We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud Who signals his virtue and others' flaws Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts But one day, your past will come back and bite you in the ass As the real victims remained silent, you disguised yourself But it's all over now, prepare to rot in a cell You try to run, but you can't hide No more peace or hope inside

Truth teller, cast their evil away Whistleblower, hero of the modern day Unmask abusers, keep corruption at bay Stop the oppressors, lead us all out of harm's way Selfless guardian of truth and of boundless virtue With injustice all around, this can't go on Your last act of rebellion Will take them down to the ground Oppose malevolent ways Expose their deeds to end their days Giving your help Finding a way of comfort for those who weep Risking yourself Never that far away from your dose of eternal sleep They’re coming to restore control They’re throwing you deep in a hole They’ll torture and make you regret And hide your corpse, we won’t forget The whole World is counting on you There’s no one else we think is true Complacent cowards let you take the heat Because they know the chances that you’ll succeed We’ve all seen the martyrs fall under their fire But you face the peril to topple the evil empire Your last act of rebellion Will take them down to the ground Oppose malevolent ways Expose their deeds to end their days Giving your help Finding a way of comfort for those who weep Risking yourself Never that far away from your dose of eternal sleep They’re coming to restore control They’re throwing you deep in a hole They’ll torture and make you regret And hide your corpse, we won’t forget We’ve all seen the martyrs fall under their fire But you face the peril to topple the evil empire We’ll never forget

Losing Touch 02:11
10.
You’ve reached the bottom, nothing there Sadness, loneliness and despair Regret and anguish, you hate yourself Decimated your own health Awake at night, you’re not at peace Uncontrollable thoughts, your mind is weak You need someone to blame for your mistakes Your weakness, your fears and your self-hate Burn the bridge He’s lost his mind Insanity He’s gone blind Burn the bridge For the rest of time Instability redefined You burned the bridge I tried and pushed and pledged to help you In your time of need But you are beyond saving right now The mind grows weak, it’s shutting down A lifetime of loyalty and respect The distance has grown, we disconnect Although it seemed like all was fine We should have looked to see the signs Losing touch with reality, where can you go The only way is tumbling down a spiraling endless hole
11.
A big lie is all I see No more substance, you are empty Corruption, human beings Competition over little things No more hope No more technical reason for us to go on We were both Full of life and illusion back when we were young Faith I have no longer In the path that I once had chosen No reason to go on Obsolescence of my own program Suddenly, we're victims of our past Years have flown, we're fighting till the last Love is gone, sadness is born Memories, all is remorse Knowing you inflicts no more pain Throwing you all down the drain Suddenly, we're victims of our past Years have flown, we're fighting till the last No more hope No more technical reason for us to go on You and me Full of life and illusion when we were young Love is gone, sadness is born Memories, all is remorse Knowing you inflicts no more pain Throwing you all down the drain We’re victims of the great deception Disillusioned by this mess The conclusion is death Love is gone, sadness is born Memories, all is remorse Knowing you inflicts no more pain Throwing you all down the drain
