Lyrics:
Let's put it all in our pockets
Take from those in need
But never stop pretending
a fake excuse if they bleed
East men’s death is the west men’s treasure
Child labor is the first world’s leisure
Low age, low wage \ oh we love that it’s
Public vices, private benefits
Pre Chorus 1:
Cover the eyes and dig much deeper
for gold inside this crumbling mine
Retribution waits to meet you
as boulders break your crooked spine
With scythes that reap the fields voraciously
Avarice's harvest will go on (and on, the harvest will go on)
Even when there's nothing left to salvage she
won't catch what has gone wrong
Take what you can get
remorse is for the dead
no need to feel regret
leaving behind a wasteland
Sip another drink
let the whole word sink
down into the silt
made from scrap
You piece of shit
you fucking hypocrite
who do you think you are
spoiling this world
like it is your own
down from your hollow throne
you run your mouth all day
without a word to say so
Shut your ears and dig much deeper
for gold inside this crumbling mine
Retribution waits to meet you
as boulders break your fucking spine
With scythes that reap the fields voraciously
Avarice's harvest will go on (and on, the harvest will go on)
Even when there's nothing left to salvage she
won't catch what has gone wrong
The day will come, when you realise
all that you have done
Stumbling through the wreckage
you left behind for everyone
As much as you try to cleanse your hands
they will always remain stained
And as much as you try to sew a veil of delusion
it will always be tained
Go ahead and look into the eyes
of those eploited by your greed
good luck walking on the ice
with that weight on your feet
Avaritia

Above Them All
04:13
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Our fate is sealed with the price you pay
repletion warrants misery
We're born to feed and raised in fear
Your lack of interest will keep us here
What makes you think you're above them all?
Do you even care to see beyond the wall?
A craving mind with no empathy
Mass murdering deliberately
Redundant practice justifies
the gluttony in human eyes
Just because you feel desire
doesn't mean there is the need
life bled dry hour by hour
a repulsive human deed
What makes you think you're above them all?
Do you even care to see beyond the wall?
Cause we plant the seed that will start a storm (open up your heart and mind)
which will leave the claim to life reborn
cast away contempt and misery
for all life's integrity
Cause the choice is yours to start a storm (open up your heart and mind)which will leave the claim to life rebornand make way for a new age of unity , all life's integrity
Just because you feel desire
doesn't mean there is the need
life bled dry hour by hour
a repulsive human deed
Why do you cling to habits that cause so much suffering?
How can you just downplay what happens behind shut doors?
There is a responsibility in your actions,
a consequence in behaviour, open your fucking eyes!
What makes you think you're above them all?
Do you even care to see beyond the wall?
Cause we plant the seed that will start a storm (open up your heart and mind)
which will leave the claim to life reborn
cast away contempt and misery
for all life's integrity
Cause the choice is yours to start a storm (open up your heart and mind)which will leave the claim to life rebornand make way for a new age of unity , all life's integrity

Four Puppets
03:33
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
Each mask so thoroughly
Hiding personality
Spineless coward’s judging fingers
A hateful spirit that always lingers
Pick to pieces the puppet’s heart
And call it a critique
But make sure to hide your face my friend
Or they’ll string you when it starts again
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
Every opinion you make known
Reeks of biased undertone
Don't bother asking for the matter
When clearly they know all things better
Blessed with the gift to be disguised
Their purpose is to criticize
Raised their opinion inside a box so small
But what goes up eventually will fall
When all their grudge and taunt is said and done
they'll still be laughing stocks to everyone so
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
So keep your golden coins
You'd give so righteously
If you think you can buy the right to spoil all of the puppetry
And from a thounsand voices your words may sound the proudest
But while reason's silent idiots will scream the loudest

Promise Me Salvation
04:08
|

|
Lyrics
Fake, all (of) your kind is following the hive
Tell me who I have to be, suck out all my life
Corrupted mannequins distorted by their greed
Fashion, lifestyle, mass consumption, reflection’s obsolete
Promise me salvation, with money I shall pay
Never step out of the line, at least that’s what they say
Break it down, we won’t drown
Inside the sea
Of force-fed lifestyles and corporate disease
Break it down, break their crown
And they will see
That we are all they’ve never achieved to be
Take all your labels and shove ‘em up your ass
We won’t let you turn us into a dully obeying mass
You promise me salvation but with money I shall pay?
I will step out of all lines, your downfall starts today!
Break it down, we won’t drown
Inside the sea
Of force-fed lifestyles and corporate disease
Break it down, break their crown
And they will see
That we are all they’ve never achieved to be

Nothing To Our Grave
02:53
|
|||
|
Lyrics
Blindfolded by a narcotic deceit
We spend our lives to fuel the gears that waste away our dreams
Revenue dictates our desire and needs
So feed me your synthetic diet made of sedatives and keep me quiet
Do you believe the lies we’re told?
Are you willing to be sold
as human resource
judged by vacuous scores
From all the hours slaved away
We take nothing to our grave
This deal’s not worth it
It’s far from perfect
We’re being molded into a working machine
Another drudge that tries to clutch at all the garbage that sheens
Marching in straight lines into consuming stores
to get the newest gadget nurturing the corporate whores that keep us quiet
Do you believe the lies we’re told?
Are you ready to be sold
as human resource
judged by vacuous scores
From all the hours slaved away
We take nothing to our grave
This deal’s not worth it
It’s far from perfect

Don't Wait
04:17
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Did you ever reflect at a moment in time
and found that the path you go
is rather a path that others lead
imposing their desire of security
on your aspirant mind
Did you then still follow that path
or did you turn away and rid yourself of this restraint?
I always found myself avoiding what lead to a disengagement
of the convenience I was used to
choosing ease and comfort over personal fulfillment
compromising challenge for certainty
but as my heart grows stronger I will no longer inhibit myself
to do the things that make me who I am
Don’t wait, don’t wait ‚till it’s too late
This is your life, your choice to take
Don’t waste don’t waste another breath
Because stagnation means the death
In all of our lifetime
We are searching to find
The truth that lies behind
A wall of lies of those who didn’t try
Don’t wait, don’t wait ‚till it’s too late
This is your life, your choice to take
Don’t waste don’t waste another breath
Because stagnation means the death
The death of all there is to be
Of all the potential yet to see
The death of all we might become
If we give up what we begun

Our Story
03:32
|

|
Lyrics:
I’m standing at the sea
The sempiternal moor
Your deceit and misery
Descending to the ocean floor
A pulsing cemetery for all the memories we shared
Old flesh falls from my bones
The scars are finally bleached
Let water be the grave
I lay our story in
‘Cause a million miles deep is where I will keep your lies
Betrayed by the siren’s promise
I set my sails to find the one
That no one else was seeing
Despite of everyone who told me to stay away

Lyrics:
Her lips are soft as silk, but inside she’s just rotten
A demon in an angel’s skin who’s better left forgotten
She loves the way they make her feel
They hate the way she makes them kneel
Her lips are soft as silk, inside she’s only rotten
A demon in an angel’s skin who’s better left forgotten
Don’t fall for her spell cause you’ll regret, the day on which you met
She lifts you up high in the sky then lets you fall, no wings to fly
Like servants for a tyrant queen that cuts their throats while kissing them
But yet again they come to her succumbing to this hateful girl
I’ve tried to make her mine /what fucking waste of time fighting for so long
Not really divine/ she likes tearing hearts to shreds/ no death-bed regrets
Her heart is full of shit/ a charming hypocrite
She sets your heart on fire, then stabs you in the back
You try to make it out ‘cause you were kept a prisoner in her net
But yet again you come to her, succumbing to this vicious girl
I’ve tried to make her mine /what fucking waste of time fighting for so long
Not really divine/ she likes tearing hearts to shreds/ no death-bed regrets
Her lips were soft as silk but inside she was only rotten
A demon in an angel’s skin that I have forgotten
I won’t try to make her mine/ what fucking waste of time to fight for so long
Not really divine/ she would tear my heart to shreds, without death-bed regrets

Worlds Falling Apart
05:35
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
They spit their breath to make you feel
Like the artificial hell is real
With all that tries to pull you down
I will never let you drown
A prison built with hidden stones
Cardboard demons seize the throne
But parasites will not return
If they see their foundation burn
Divided tongues and poisoned teeth
Won’t bring you to your knees
(But even if you fall, we'll always rise above them all)
Even old worlds falling apart
Can’t break your golden heart
(As debris falls from the sky we wave our flags and raise them high)
And in the wake of a new day
We face the truth we feared to say
Use the stones of walls we broke
To build of path of new found hope
The only prison is your mind
so leave the numbing pain behind
this is the only spark you need
to get you back on your two feet
Divided tongues and poisoned teeth
Won’t bring you to your knees
(But even if you fall, we'll always rise above them all)
Even old worlds falling apart
Can’t break your golden heart
(As debris falls from the sky we wave our flags and raise them high)
Cause life will break us down
make us feel as if we drown
But we are stronger
Yes we are stronger
Divided tongues and poisoned teeth
Won’t bring you to your knees
(But even if you fall, we'll always rise above them all)
Even old worlds falling apart
Can’t break your golden heart
(As debris falls from the sky we wave our flags and raise them high)

Contrition
03:41
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
A perfect thought so endeavoured
A minor scratch leaves it shattered
Built up by desire to prove it’s worth
Torn down by the hand that gave birth
In imperfection lies the key
The liberating remedy
Contrition’s tearing me apart
When every mistake engraves a scar
Finding strength in the contrary
Of what perfection seems to be
Anticipation breeding frustration
Sickening reverberation
Drown out the sound of triumph
Shifting the mindset
Exclude regret
Each of my failures is another to chance to improve
Never forgiving is never real living
Opened eyes will realize that every night had light ensuing
Contrition’s tearing me apart
When every mistake engraves a scar
Finding strength in the contrary
Of what perfection seems to be

Life Behind Dead Eyes
04:31
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Listening to the voice of a long forgotten memory
Following the trails of a person that you wish to be
On a road that is two-sided I see a face which is divided
Into anxiousness disguised and life behind dead eyes
You’re more than meets the eye
The foundation for embers to ignite
Lies within yourself
Throughout your darkest frights I will be your beacon
Guide you through the night
Revolution in your mind
Don’t be afraid to stand against what’s smothering your confidence
When memories pretend that you’re the one to make amends
For mistakes you’ve never done towards the abusing one
Rid yourself of all the lies to find life behind dead eyes
When I was torn to pieces you patched me up again
Relieved me from contrition, made me a better man
You taught me self-forgiveness, you taught me to let go
Of all my self-attrition from now forevermore
You’re more than meets the eye
The foundation for embers to ignite
Lies within yourself
Throughout your darkest frights I will be your beacon
Guide you through the night
Revolution in your mind

Endless

Lyrics:
Push it further
Push it farther
Out of mind
Behind the border
Raise the wall
Erase the cancer
Leave behind
And mask the answer
Here I stand, surrounded by the ocean
(unleashing what is left of me)
Embrace this life and let me drift apart
(devoured by infinity)
I just want to fade away into the endless
A shadow crawls through me smothering my light
Please just let me fade away out of this prison of thought
In my memory
Grows the enemy
For suppression
Is regression
Here I stand, surrounded by the ocean
(embracingwhat is left of me)
Rejoicing life before I fall apart
(devoured by infinity)
