♦ L Y R I C S ♦ One voice echoes through the stars. Forever lost in the dark. God created a paradise in Earth. As soon as mandkind blossomed, the evil found its place. Carbon based lifeforms singing hymns of hope. Breaking through the silence, the songs we long forgot. Chrome and neon colors bleeding into another. The tree of life is falling. Our souls have lost the path. The oblivious sons of a dying sun. Some lonely souls above Eden. A distant vision of a nameless prophet. The aftermath of an ancient project. What is love and what is truth? A burning doubt inside of you. Since there's no answer to this charade, then what is God to us anymay? Forever lost in the dark. The universe, a hostile place. We found a way to keep the pace. With iron hand and silver wings, we only had one chance to win. A blinded space and misteries, the basis of all genesis. From Lord's creation to human nations, an empty land turned into gold. The oblivious sons of a dying sun. Some lonely souls above Eden. A distant vision of a nameless prophet. The aftermath of an ancient project. What is love and what is truth? A burning doubt inside of you. Since there's no answer to this charade, we may as well have created hell. Carbon based lifeforms singing hymns of hope. Breaking through the silence, the songs we long forgot.

neo(n) entertainment 03:59
lyrics
♦ L Y R I C S ♦ Play the game and just obey. Innocence has led you to this place. Be my guest. Lay down your weight and rest. Leave behind your broken memories. Come and join the dream. Never leave. Open up your wings and fly away. Take another pill. Fall with me. Consequence. Synthetic providence. Iron blood. Another hollow soul. Leave behind your broken memories. Make yourself believe this is the way to live. Open up your wings and fly away. Don't ever question why your vision's turning black. Corrupted to the core. Neon entertainment. Post-truth at its worst. Neon entertainment. It's all fun and games until someone is dead. Lilith's song. Distorted sign of love. Lithium soul. We truly lost it all. There is nothing left for us to say. Close your eyes and just pretend you're safe. Aftermath. And then a sweet goodbye. Don't forget to smile before you die. Leave behind all your humanity. Open up your wings and fade away.

no sign of life 02:13

♦ L Y R I C S ♦ Monuments built upon iron and clay to hasten the fall into the circles of hell. "Just put aside the blame. Brave decisions must be made". (Sure) This was the beginning of our decadence. And the ambitions grew high into the blackened skies. Prometheus syndrome gone wrong. We stole the light from the sun. DEAD END. BLIND RAGE. The taste of power corrupted your mind! You don't deserve that crown you so wear with pride! Victim of the system. A puppet of your own. Monarch of the fallen. No signs of life at all. Bodies. Thousand bodies. Buried underground. Cables. Thousand cables. Draining our blood. Lonely spirits moarning through the Earth. A desolating vision where the silence reigns. Hear the roar of the machines. See the lightning in the sky. Welcome to the land of the headless king! Tell me was it all worth it?

parabellum 02:05

♦ L Y R I C S ♦ We're standing, together. Rejecting the corruption. Crimes from the government will never be forsaken. Oppressor! Oppressor! Si vis pacen para bellum. The blood of the fallen will remain in us forever. We're standing, unshaken. Against abusive power. They reign upon the bones of a thousand generations. Oppressor! Oppressor! Si vis pacen para bellum. The blood of the fallen will remain in us forever. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

poetry for vampires 06:34
lyrics

♦ L Y R I C S ♦ Dictator of the night. Bleeding your people dry. When you sharpen your fangs. There's nowhere left to run. One day your kingdom of terror will fall with a flaming sword right through your throne! So be then known to the lord. We won't stand by his law. A vassal's will against the people above. Scream up to heaven and light up the skies. Tonight we will fight to be free from these lies. Carbon and bone. Flesh out the bond that unite us as nation and then throw us all. Your words are like poison. The damage is done. We're feeding the vampires until the last drop. But we had enough! Show your face. Cruel pretender. All your crimes will be remembered. Tonight we will fight to be free from these lies. Fire and blood. Rage out of control. Your savage repression will not be forgot. Lie through your teeth. Deceive and repeat. We'll make you spit all those secrets you keep. You don't care about none of us. Take that crown right off your head. Another tragedy. An empty apology. Things will not go back the way they used to be. Rotten to the bone! Fallen monarch. Great tormentor. All your glory's gone forever. Be free from these lies. Burn out alone. You lost all control. Death and corruption are the seeds that you sow. The rage of your people. It comes with a price. Since peace is not an option, this will be your demise. You don't care about none of us. Take that crown right off your head. A song of misery. The devil's symphony. Things will not go back the way they used to be. Brothers. Sisters. Listen! We walk towards destruction of the system we designed. Our silent hatred voice against the power of greed. Land of the lambs, beneath a castle of mud. The carnivours are hiding within walls of gold. A neverending story of resignation and pain. A pessimistic cycle where the claims are made in vain. But heaven's burning red and the flames refuse to die. So take a deep breath. It's time to make a fucking sound! Make a sound! Cannibal demon with the world beneath your feet. We won't become the slaves you always wanted us to be. This battle will endure 'til the last of us has fallen. Dictator psychopath! Your reign of violence is over! The end. The end. Freedom 'til the end. Dreaming. Dreaming. Hope is never lost. And the rest is up to us.

hiraeth 04:35

♦ L Y R I C S ♦ The night whispers a song long forgotten by men. Neon lights and the driveway signs paved the way back home. But there's nowhere to go for a lonely soul. Just a broken toy. A dependant child that never learned to smile. Tell me. Have you ever wonder what this world would be without you? Tell me. Have you ever wonder why you keep looking the way out? Dangerous questions and no one to answer. Not even God nor the devil may bother. But yet you still breathe and your memories keep. There's a light in your chest and your heart still beats. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right. Forgive me for just being too tired to fight. I don't care what the truth is. In one hundred years all the lies and the promises sure will be gone for good. Neon lights and the driveway signs paved the way back home. But there's nowhere to go for a lonely soul. Just a broken toy. A dependant child that never learned to smile. And so, a hundred years have passed. Tell me. Do you still care?

graphite soul 05:04

♦ L Y R I C S ♦ Existance is just a dream. Distorted signs of faith. The world inside your head. A shallow universe we designed for pleasure. Even if it¨s just a lie. An offering. Such painful view. You hide emotions you can't pull through. The suffering. Delightful truth. You feed the demons inside of you. Transitioning. Devolving in an empty shell. Make this burning cease forever. Distorted signs of faith. The world inside your head. A shallow universe we designed for pleasure. Smile. Repeat. Do you feel complete? Graphite soul. Artificial womb. The consequence of falling into another grand illusion. Obsidian spirit. Take us back to the beginning. The future has become into a promise with no meaning. No further information has the science determined so let it be dark. Let the blind lead the blind. Either way extinction was long written in the stars. Hide away while you can. Tell the ones you love the most. There's no use for more discoveries since doom might come tonight. A perfect state of hate. The rules begin to break. All effort's made in vein. We give in to pressure. Tearing everything apart. There is nowhere else to hide. Dancing as the stars collide. A crucifix. The crown of thorns. The holy lance of Longinus. The conquest of malevolence. Yet we trade Eden for apocalipse. Make this burning cease forever. Distorted signs of faith. The world inside your head. A shallow universe we designed for pleasure. Destroy. Repeat. Do you feel complete? Graphite soul. Artificial womb. Your innocent intentions were corrupted by the obsession of filling up the void in our hearts, in our minds. Even if our dreams came true. Even if we found the truth. Nothing would change. Human nature's just a maze. We are trapped inside a cycle and the circle is unperfect. So pray the Lord above, if you believe at all, that fateful night the wheel of life decides to stop may never come. You are pushing your luck. Caught in the hands of a clock. And as we turn back to dust. Dystopian prophecies will last.

about

The end of an era. The final chapter of a trilogy that used industrial rhythms and electro rock as their main genres. This album explores on a deeper and more agressive level all the music concepts that were part of previous albums, such as the end of the world, loneliness, plastic media, social injustice and even corruption by power.

However, instead of telling a sole story that develops itself throughout the album (just like the monochrome : pilgrimage experience), this one tells seven different stories that have one thing in common: it can happen anytime. Despite the futuristic context, these are anachronistic topics that repeat themselves everythime and it's up to us if we ever do something about it. But until then, let the dystopian prophecies be played as many times as necessary.
