1.	City of crows 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Fled the city’s reaking side looking for some kind of haven. Found myself a place inside An old penitentiary island. I no longer need to live disguised Outside of working hours. I’ll never understand their kind. They only revel in this murder. I tried to find my soul in a city of crows. Or wherever this faint lone feeling grows. Found another eremite, Almost my doppelgänger. We agreed to share my time Of office-sitting labor. He’ll show up in a suit of mine when the calendar date’s even. He’ll just have to nod and smile if he meets my coworkers. It’s not like they care about my research on nuclear power. They’re just here to gloat and shine. They only revel in this murder. One day as the first lights rise, a familiar detonation, a mushroom in the morning sky engulfs my field of vision. Later a team of armed men out a military chopper gulp in their ionide tabs and start to scrape the island
2.	Malice 04:23	lyrics	buy track
A conspiracy rising Four feet from our door Another day another call to inaction This is what I abhor Ain’t no margin of action No more heed to be called There is no way For the truth to be told Because I am done with complying I won’t be coerced A bunch of innocents dying Might as well be actors Another day another threat to our nation Right when they need our votes When a leader needs traction When they need a new brawl There is always an enemy to unfold Because I See past your lying I won’t lead the herd They frighten They Threaten Then They fool the world They want to make us march for our freedom To make us leave our homes They pretend the fight for our valors Cannot be done alone It doesn’t add up It’s so fucked up They say our lack of trust in our form of government And in our institutions Offered a way to manipulate our thoughts Used by huge corporations It doesn’t add up It’s so fucked up All these years spent to decrypt these phony acts of aggression Used to increase supervision Overshadowed by a vote controlling algorithm Paid by a foreign nation It doesn’t add up It’s so fucked up If that’s what they’ve done Then we can trust no one
3.	Collusion 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Delusion ! Red-handed they vent. The farther the truth, the louder they chant Frustration ! Debating in vain, the clearer the point, the dumber they get. They’re plotting out of view, soon their allies will claim their due. They never thought this through. They’ll end up caught in their collusion. Illusion ! Hand-waving affaires, the scarcer their work, the higher their share . Corruption ! Bringing in their friends, the filthier the swamp, the deeper they end. High treason, At foreign behest, ruining a nation for their sole interest. Insurrection ! Years of unrest to topple the throne from their eagle nest.
4.	Shield of faith 05:33	lyrics	buy track
I met a wanderer outside my door The kind of poor soul I’ve helped before As I’ve been doing since my wife’s depart I told I’d pray god to sort his life out He grabbed me by the shoulder His voice trembling with anger He said poor blinded mind, Will you realize? The Bringer of Light Is no Son of Man Their eternal lies Adorn your Shield of faith I’ve seen the peril of human condition I’ve seen more wars than there ever was If you met the devil would you embrace his vision If he fell through the sky right before your eyes? Would you see the light If all it meant was pain Their eternal lies, Adorn your shield of faith I always played the role I was devoted to be I can’t turn around to what bears meaning to me Would that make me a quitter Am I some kind of traitor Though I really need time to stop and Think I can’t I always felt my acts should be honoring his will I can’t help but feel it failed all those who were killed Why confess to a preacher When god himself’s a sinner If this really is what being moral means I can’t There is no Kingdom Come There is no Evil One
5.	Kordast feat. Natsumi Hara - Alice 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I lay these theories down Before what’s left of me’s erased They may feed me their divine But my guts will stay the same ‘Cause each and every man Should be free to think on his own There is nothing loyal In blindly following mysterious ways I wrote my feelings down Before my body’s drugged and dazed They might hinder my desires But my heart will stay the same ‘Cause every open arm Every passion that I’ve grown Is a reason to stifle What they called amoral unethical ways You can lock me Underground Fill my head with your surmise But my thoughts will stay the same I lay these last words down Before my memory’s bruised and tazed They may try to wipe my mind But my thoughts will stay the same ‘Cause every broken bound Every sin the pass as my own Even my denial Will be called amoral unethical ways You can hang me upside down Hammer that nail through my eyes But my thoughts will stay the same You can lock me Underground Fill my head with your surmise You can hang me upside down Hammer that nail through my eyes But my thoughts will stay the same
6.	Rats 04:07	lyrics	buy track
A straight face, while telling something so abject. How Can you keep composure? Due process ain’t something you want to protect. You prep yourself for erasure. Never ever has it been so obvious you paint yourself in a corner You better keep your entourage under pressure before they try something devious. You’ve been spared by the knife. This time, you won’t get out alive. Beyond the surface, only the lie remains Even after the captain’s death, beneath, the rats remain. Snowflake, you claim they’re ruining your project. You couldn’t take any measure. Grotesque, you’re praising your own intellect, yet turn riches into failure. Never ever had a horde so obnoxious been gathering so much power. You better keep the smartest under fire before they leap into action. You’ve been spared by the knife. This time, you won’t get out alive.
7.	Strangers 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Out of despair, they part Into your land, they ride… Fatherland under assault The day came for us to stand tall Aliens on a roll Prepared and set to take our homes Hordes of slaves and conspirators Trespassing in listless cohorts Infiltrated mercenaries Trying to share our destiny Who landed on this promised land? Strangers. Who tended all this barren land? Strangers. Who fended off these assailants? Strangers, more often than not Patriots untethered Recklessly defend our honor Warriors of valor Turned into violent oppressors Tremble, tyrants and dictators We’re turning back your defectors This is our Sanctuary They won’t taste our liberty Who landed on this promised land? Strangers. Who tended all this barren land? Strangers. Who fended off these assailants? Strangers. It looks like you forgot Invaders marching on our land Intruders mocking our defense Their workers picking up our grain Their minors slipping through our hands Their dealers erasing our pain Their doctors cutting up our brains
8.	Oceans 06:17	lyrics	buy track
Lost ones Whisper in your head Loved ones Guiding you off the land Let them in And hear them out Their distant voices Calling you out from the ocean But if you hear The fading cries Of every departed You’ll never set foot again Near the Ocean Among the tormented souls of the overwhelmed Locked doors, on your way back The engine roar calms your fright Blocked road, you grind to a halt Two silhouettes in your headlights The stereo turns on And gives out a sigh The figure’s heads dissolve You switch to reverse and look behind A fleshless elder, passenger-side Screams in terror Commanding you to drive right back To the ocean Either too open or too close You heard their despair Now their trauma sticks with you Right into your head Mind sore, a pill will help to deny Another shift to get by One corpse, dead on arrival No folks to identify Reaching the door, the corner of your eye Catch a glimpse of his soul hovering by the ceiling light Pissed off, he moans a threatening cry A lot of us will drown if you don’t get your carcass back To the Ocean Eyes closed, lying in the dark You try to silence their cries Dead thoughts crashed into your mind A thousand stones leave their mark Surrounded but alone, there’s nowhere to hide Your pockets filled with stones The single note you left behind Death from above, the sky falls apart Death form below, the only way to make them stop Is the Ocean Among the tormented souls of the overwhelmed Where the unfitted souls meet the underworld
