Seeds

Seeds of lies are sown
I trust no one
Beginning execution
Of long devised plan
In crucible of war
Dead friends and broken ties
To reunite together
Nothing more to sacrifice
No more violence
World of silence
I’ll build my own
Where no one needs to die
No more tyrants
World of silence
Thousands of dreamers hanging
Under all-seeing eye
Seeds of lies are sown
Awaited incarnation
Descendant of the gods
Bringing my ascension
Hiding across red clouds
Dressed in black cloaks
Outlaws and exiles
Unrestrained force
Beasts hunting beasts
For clandestine purpose
Power that they seek
Will turn out worthless
No more violence
World of silence
I’ll build my own
Where no one needs to die
No more tyrants
World of silence
Thousands of dreamers hanging
Under all-seeing eye
I’ll bear the cross
I’ll pay the highest price
To stop all wars
To reunite dead and alive
Pain we carrying both is same
But the ways to live
You chose whole bloody world to blame
I’ve chosen to forgive
We’re making through this life unfair
Just like our fathers did
Our broken souls to be repaired
With ones whose warmth we need
Seeds of lies are grown
Awaited incarnation
Descendant of the gods
No more violence
World of silence
I’ll build my own
Where no one needs to die
No more tyrants
World of silence
Thousands of dreamers hanging
Under all-seeing eye
I see everything clearly
With my new eyes
An ultimate solution
To save the humankind
The curse of hatred
The will of fire
Nothing will matter
In very end
Seeds of lies are grown
It’s time for masks to fall

Decompression

Another sleepless night
Head flowed with visions
Thoughts strive towards the sky
So focused they could light the star
I chose the tortuous path
Been torn asunder
By what I want and what I must
Like shining spot is meant to plunder
My time is running out
I hope it is a fake impression
I’m talking to a wall
Of apathetic minds
Discouraged, deaf to the call
Dissolved in natural way of life
I bore myself to sleep
Watching interstellar wars
Armies on the screen
Battling my restless thoughts
Four great horsemen of Terran
Lend me your passion
To wade through when soul is barren
To live through decompression
History shall grind us all
Nothingness will prevail
Vacuum watches as we fall
Like the sparks rise and die away
My time is running out
I hope it is a fake impression
As if you’re all covered with wax
And I’m not hot enough to melt it
As if I’m losing my last chance
And I’m not strong enough to make it
Wake up!
Discouraged, deaf to the call
Dissolved in natural way of life
History shall grind us all
Nothingness will prevail
Vacuum watches as we fall
Like the sparks rise and die away

Fate Is Painted Grey
04:13
|

Generations before
And generations ahead
We always knew what we fought
To what we’ve been true
Maturation is fraught
With questions aiming for head
Still in pursuit of the good
But heart is out of place
Unrequited love
Fear of becoming soft
So strong that leads us to the madness
Battles won and lost
Quenched our thirst
For wisdom, wizardry and sadness
Give me your hand
Sharpen your sword
To enigmatic land
Come along with me
Kingdom full of dangers is around me
Noose of hesitation tightens ‘round my neck
I am a hero. I am a villain
I’m slaying victims too damaged too confess
Unrequited love
Fear of becoming soft
So strong that leads us to the madness
Battles won and lost
Quenched our thirst
For wisdom, wizardry and sadness
Kingdom full of dangers is around me
Noose of hesitation tightens ‘round my neck
I am a hero. I am a villain
I’m slaying victims too damaged too confess
I wish I didn’t ever learn that
Every fate is being painted grey
Peace is destination that is hard to find
Each races through personal blazing hell
Give me your hand
Sharpen your sword
To enigmatic land
Come along with me
Kingdom full of dangers is around me
Noose of hesitation tightens ‘round my neck
I am a hero. I am a villain
I’m slaying victims too damaged too confess
Your highness, why did you refuse me?
Executing orders fills my shattered heart
I’m a defender. I am a monster
What do I feel, inhaling their last breath?

Unsafe Travels

Oh.. My back’s against the wall
Dangers around the corner
Stepping back, feeling small
Not a man but exhausted loner
It screams - she screams
Cries won’t call her mother
It hurts
But how can I control myself?
Shots freed my mind from grief’s embrace
Strange form of life that warms my hands
Did I use to be the same?
Since you’re my light no more
I’ve just been counting days
Distorted voices stab the night
I walk through shadows, can not take the fight
Step by step, keeping an eye on the child
Hold on, little human
Hold on, hush and hold tight
Since you are my light no more
I feel so lost into this raging storm
You’ve taught me everything I know (everything I know)
How could I fall so far? How could I sink so low?
Since you are my light no more
I feel so lost into this raging storm
You’ve taught me everything I know (everything I know)
How could I fall so far? How could I sink so low?
Thoughts and emotions
Passing by
Memories and steps
Casting echo
This is the rain
That makes me feel dry
This is the pain
That makes me feel

Like a hawk tracks down its prey
I searched for you through snow and fire
All ties are severed
Now my life is vengeance
Eight years I’ve been waiting
The ways I gained ultimate power
Won’t leave you satisfied
I am relentless
Another lie
A broken promise
There won’t be next time
I’m sorry
I swear revenge
There is no way to turn back
I swear revenge
I drowned into black
I swear revenge
Your deeds are scarred in my mind
I swear revenge
My brother
Finally it all ends here
The choice that sealed our fates
Visions of streets littered with bodies
Still haunting me
It is the hate that shapes me
Anger that sharpens my blade
I’ve let the snake inside
To meet your bleeding eyes
I swear revenge
There is no way to turn back
I swear revenge
I drowned into black
I swear revenge
Your deeds are scarred in my mind
I swear revenge
My brother
I’ve chosen you to take vengeance against me
I failed you as a brother
Afflicted with crippling disease
I’ve put my trust in nine-tailed beast
No more lies
No broken promise
There won’t be next time
I’m sorry
I swear revenge
Now I know the truth
I swear revenge
Your deeds are scarred in my mind
I swear revenge
My brother
Childhood marked with violence
Shadow marked by crows
Best of generation… betrayed!
Order taken from silence
Path with least shed blood
Is to exterminate whole clan
I swear revenge
My brother
I swear revenge
On Hidden Leaf

Therapy

I’m being chased by the time running out
Even in dreams I’m trying
I’m pushing harder, getting exhausted every time
But does it pay off? Still don’t know
Who will be faster? Who wins when death will approach?
Is it an excuse for my existence?
That way lies madness. How long will I possess control?
Everything looks different from the distance
I am so tired I just fall into nothingness
Unchain my heart
Teach me how to breath without oxygen
Unchain my heart
Don’t let me wear myself down to death
I’m always punishing myself
For being anything short of perfect
I don’t believe it will bring wealth
But I enjoy making you impressed
The more I live the less I feel
Connected to this strange world
A creep among creeps, gone off the deep end
I am so tired I just fall into nothingness
Unchain my heart
Teach me how to breath without oxygen
Unchain my heart
Don’t let me wear myself down to death
This is my soul
This is my rock’n’roll
I need to lose myself
I need to let it out

What are you willing to sacrifice
For the elusive cause?
Is it your family, is it your mind?
Fair price for the love that won’t last
What looks hard on the outside
Can hide a soft beating heart
Struggling to keep faith in humanity
Less and less reasons for searching the light
They say that the world has gone mad
I hear this everyday from beginning of times
If you want to leave a trace
You better sink
Or maybe fly high above
What are you trying to prove
Chasing inaudible noise?
Is it a protest or just your soul
With no one around to share with at all?
Marching towards eternity
Sons and daughters of stars
They say that the world has gone mad
I hear this everyday from beginning of times
If you want to leave a trace
You better sink
Or maybe fly high above
Reduced to weak servants of instincts
Counters of sins
Dirt is always a point of interest
Just to forget about yours
March towards eternity
Sons and daughters of stars
Dance to the pulse of technology
Bow to algorithmic power
Embrace idiocracy
Dissolve under digital shower
Dissolve. Dissolve. Dissolve!
From simplicity
To the most primitive form
They say that the world has gone mad
I hear this everyday from beginning of times
If you want to leave a trace
You better sink
Or maybe fly high above

Through maze of dungeons
Through heat of Asphodel
Alone I carry the banner of rebellion
Through empty splendor
Through temple before hell
To reach the surface and unveil your deception
And I won’t waver, I’ll show no fear
Never meant to meet your rigid expectations
God shows no mercy, but tightening grip
On insurgent dreams of sacred destination
I stand before the Mirror of Night
It’s time to make another try
Time and time again
I come out of the water
To meet your heavy gaze that fills me with frustration
I know it’s not in vain
Each run I’m getting stronger
To defeat you and escape the realm of the dead
Nor the furious sisters
Nor the skeletal snake
Nor the glorious champions
No one will stop me
With might of Infernal Arms
With vigor of Olympians
I stand before the Mirror of Night
It’s time to make another try
Time and time again
I come out of the water
To meet your heavy gaze that fills me with frustration
I know it’s not in vain
Each run I’m getting stronger
To defeat you and escape the realm of the dead
I feel your pain (I feel your pain)
Repressed resentment
To win the game (to win the game)
Is to heal our family
Time and time again
I come out of the water
To meet your heavy gaze that fills me with frustration
I know it’s not in vain
Each run I’m getting stronger
To defeat you and escape the realm of the dead

Snowstorm peels the skin off my palms
Frozen blood turned into armor
Deformed creatures are at each other’s throats
But for them I care nothing
Here I stand - screaming the blood verses
To recall all the damage done
Winter’s gate let the disciple in
To drink from the night itself
Here I stand - mashing the reality
Scars will tell that I came from afar
Embers of a dying world will rekindle
The constellation of the black light
Reject me
Say I’m a stranger
Life tempers
But will ever north embrace me?
I shall return
Again to offer
Ten songs
But will ever north embrace me?
On the path paved with sacrifices
I searched for spark among the ruins
Did you count all my mistakes?
Did you watch my dreams run dry?
On immense dim wasteland
Still I dwell… alone
Melodies are born in the darkness
Ripen under indigent sun
To accompany the charms of sirens
This is where it all begun
Here I stand - screaming the blood verses
Here I stand - I came from afar
To recall all the damage done
Scars will tell
Winter’s gate let the disciple in
Reject me
Say I’m a stranger
Life tempers
But will ever north embrace me?
I shall return
Again to offer
Ten songs
But will ever north embrace me?

Burn!
Was born on forgotten planet without any name
On the brink of starvation almost every day
Can not hunt, can not plant, soil’s unfertile
Barren land extends for a hundred thousands miles
Black sword of vengeance in my hand
Deaf to the gods begging for help
I stood there baptized in blood
I wondered if there are more?
Leading armies through time and space
Waging a deicidal crusade
Now I am the thing I have despised
God of Hypocrisy
Was taught to trust in the gods that didn’t hear my prayers
While everyone I held dear slowly starved to death
Rejected faith, gave up hope, strickening with grief
Angered tribe exiled me for such heresy
Another day two lurid stars has fallen from the sky
Severe damaged titans laid down before my eyes
One of them, still alive, pled to spare his life
I took the sword from him: “You never answered my prayers”
Black sword of vengeance in my hand
Deaf to the gods begging for help
I stood there baptized in blood
I wondered if there are more?
Leading armies through time and space
Waging a deicidal crusade
Now I am the thing I have despised
God of Hypocrisy
Spared one of them as form of torture
Marooned him in the ruins
His failures made him his own scorcher
The legacy of bitter doings
I hear a mocking whisper telling that I’m too weak
I witness haunting visions that never let me sleep
Devastated planets and stars I made gone out
To design a bomb that will erase all gods
Artificial phantoms won’t return me to the past
Mass of living darkness, epitome of self-disgust
While enslaved creatures mine towards the judgment day
I wait for peal of thunder to end my misery
Black sword of vengeance in my hand
Deaf to the gods begging for help
I stood there baptized in blood
I wondered if there are more?
Leading armies through time and space
Waging a deicidal crusade
Now I am the thing I have despised
God of Hypocrisy
