A glimpse of light is passing us by We've lost the trail and still we can't find the way back I think it's unnecessary, cause here on earth we are temporary There's always price we're not willing to pay We're in the constant decay I'm trapped in a twisted spiral that's filled with the recklessness Unwanted horrible truth that corrupts our sanity We're closed inside the shell that's filled with blood and dirt Corroding skin that's as thick as the metal itself Flip the coin, take your time, leave your dreams behind What's the purpose of life for the human kind? The saltiness in my brain is reaching tips of my bones Through everything that I've been I felt how I decomposed At aftermath of creation we'll see our contribution On which side will you be standing if time proves that you're really wrong? You are kneeling to the tyrants who are selling you cheap drugs All the money for rapture; all the lost souls convicted to eternal damnation Sometimes I think that it's all for nothing I may just exaggerate Inside my tired heart there's stroke of sadness when I realize we all are rotten It's me and you who will turn this world into a hell hole Lose yourself in your stupid selfish ignorance Arrogance is the only thing that fills your filthy flesh Defilement rises; the ecologists made it clear We're standing near the edge, the end is getting near The fake illusion is fading Our future children will reign the world we've wasted away I know we'll choke with our own blood, cause we'd die for our aspirations As I wake up I keep looking through the window The world I see is so bitter and cruel The only thing that remains in us precious is the fear of the unknown I hope one day we will face the destruction, witnessing art that we painted so well We're the kids that signed the pact with the devil, reaching hands to our dear god I am the atrophy, the blue eyed traitor who sells the lives of families I am a god among gods, the monster who will show misery to all We try to fight, cause we're scared of the end, but there's no war if we don't have the enemy We're fucking doomed, ready to hang I think I'm better off dead than live the life of contempt A glimpse of light is passing us by We've lost the trail and still we can't find the way back I think it's unnecessary, cause here on earth we are temporary

Duel of Fate 05:39
The final trial reveals weakness of mortal man Besides the test of his might he fought the duel of faith The master in his arts experienced a vile surprise, as if the fear has grown inside his skillful eyes The epic hero arises after the shattered skies have filled with storm He's beginning the challenge that's completed by none From darkness he will emerge to face his internal self Only so he can reach something that no one has The whole world begins to swirl when we can't resist our doubt What if it reveals the fear at the end of the night Standing upon the ashes of the unbreakable gods who never learned to give up You want to face your damnation so there will be no salvation If that's the path that you choose... There is no going back after the wasted youth The time will cease like a wind in terms you never expected it Would you trust? In your masters advice: “if you're not focused enough you better run for your life” Could you redeem disappointment? From the face of a man who's been created to thrive The whole world begins to swirl when we can't resist our doubt What if it reveals the fear at the end of the night All your efforts have no use; it was fated you will lose What if shame will make us fall straight into a blackhole Welcome to the end game Will he still remain the unbeaten one? When the clouds lit by the red sunrise and the screams triggered by the aftermath Will he never give a fuck? Behind the concept of faith, beyond our close-minded heads we hidden trickiest catch that haunts us till the death It's meant for us to resist feeling that we can succeed when there is a seed of disbelief planted among our dreams Drop the curtain He's creating his story through the actions Only mind separates the judgment and intentions Taking a step back every time you that try will bring you out of the track You'll lose it all somewhere and it'll bring you fucking nowhere When you'll perish in darkness, in the vessel that's full of disguidness there is one question to answer: Will you still believe in yourself? “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”

I feel nothing but the sadness when I think about my soul Poor little thing inside me is getting crushed like waves at shore Is there hope for Men? Is there hope for future? Is there hope for me and my brother? Are we damned to hate each other? She wrote a book about hope, but it was tragedy Her confused mind gave her a sign of deep insanity This failure made her cease into a dull affair, but is it enough to learn she's not getting anywhere We're stuck between two mirrors heading towards eternity We're running out of the time for being hopeless Like a small boat in the storm that drifts the ocean We're still looking for cover taking step by step, but every time we stands still we're falling back again She's running out of the time for being hopeless She's on the boat in the storm that drifts the ocean While she is looking for cover taking step by step We pretend that we're good, but we fuck up again Through desperation I will find the way to settle down with you Inside the darkest matter we will find the only clue Our restoration speaks with voice from abyss that drown out our youth Towards eternity we're swept by waves that came from deepest blues I always knew I will hurt you Yet I still choose to commit You understood my violence There was no way out of this You always knew I will hurt you Yet you still choose to commit I understood her madness, but I felt nothing but the sadness when I thought about her soul Poor little thing inside her was getting crushed like waves at shore Is there hope for her? Is there hope for future? Is there hope for me and my lover? Are we damned to hate each other? I never learned to lose, but should have seen it coming many years ago Time has left me with those wounds that I cannot regrow Deliver me to the end of void so I can act in a way that I have promised to I feel like I'm in a maze of words that I cannot pass through I always knew I will hurt you Yet I still choose to commit And after all this madness there was no way out this Our entire world lies on my shoulders The inevitable is meant to be conflicted Dark future shines at the edge of horizon As we're sinking deeper into our despair Towards eternity we felt

Set me free from the shackles of nation built on a depravation This is my confession The only execution of repentance is the one that we all have abandoned We live in the world that's controlled by our failures Those are the natural behaviours Throughout the hope we succeed our retribution; final solution for our absolution The definitions of gods are too distorted for us to conclude that we've been disregarded Every sin ends in oblivion Fuck I have tried to follow the path of Man, but I lost my way after I learned that I am the broken one who has stepped aside and lost his pride I thought that I can understand the faith in Man which I can't stand We blame the gods for our own faults, cause we're scared to face the consequence We throw the words in the wind while burying bullets on end We're scared to face the oppressor, but we're the only aggressor We are the ticking bomb You saw it by yourself, all those blood we have shed The earth is poisoned, the end will come There is no escape Now spit out your fucking screams and pray to gods without the faces We are the fallen ones, we are distorted, we'll rot in earth Sodom, Gomorrah In the name of corruption, in the name of death Keep your eyes wide open, because the doomsday is coming We are disgrace of the world we live in Bloodthirsty; we can't stop our lust Cruelty is flowing through our veins We get used to everyday's death We get used to killing each other We have become the butchers of ourselves Is there a rescue for those who have refused to shed the blood? Can I find the new world in which I'll bear my brothers faults? Oh, Father do I represent contribution of the innocent? Right before we'll all be gone the dust will cleanse us all The cry for the salvation fades in this world of damnation Sinking in the filth with the burden of guilt Only the pain awaits this miserable human race Cause there's no fucking way to erase our sins from the past The blessing we had is consumed by the misery We brought this corruption on ourselves for the eternity Every day the families are slain Oh, God please ease their pain Every hour children are born, to be set free to you Every day the families are slain Oh, God please ease their pain Every hour children are born, to be set free to you

Concerned 05:10
Where have you been when I was waiting? To connect the thoughts that I left in the pieces Like a puzzle, I couldn't find the one - word that would set me back on track The acceptation was only thing that I ever really wanted Back then you used to take care of me I wish those times had never ceased The symptoms of reality are leaving footprints that leads through faith You didn't say enough to make me step aside The expectations of loss were far beyond my head The only thing that I thought was that I'm better off dead Deep desperation, has made me hide behind the curtain of lies that were my only disguise I always thought that my words would heal the wounds, but the path you chose has made me concerned about all the smiles we shared I see you walk in the blackness trying to give me signs, but I know that it's senseless; that's what I'm concerned about I want you to come with me to the place that you've never seen The one that doesn't belong to anyone but you

When will we awake from everlasting sleep Our false curiosity will lead us nowhere I won't hesitate to lose what we create We shall in an ordinary way wither away None sacrificial move can't change the fact that you have treated with scorn what we all have sworn There is no excuse for miscreation We have arranged the future world just to expand the sudden nightmare We carved our sign inside the holy tree of life so that it represents our pride We built our homes after we took the no-man's lands, but the filth has slipped through leaky hands We've all been taught that there's hell that lies down beneath our feet, but we're all living a lie, inside the one that's here We are the faceless curse that cannot be removed For the sake of this world we should be consumed We're the core of a plague that's been out for so long that the world is begging for us to fall We hide behind a sacred barrier like we're hypocrites We are a dying star that soon will become someone's myth I choose to speak for all, but now I will speak for myself I am the co-founder of debt to the earth We are sitting on the throne, all together but so alone Wearing gold crowns on our heads, we're drowning in our own shit Every next second in this world makes me more hungry, makes me more evil Every next breath fills me with filth, I'm fucking full of it There is no future in love, there is no cure for the past, there is no hope for today Now pray, it's all you have left you fucking waste of space We set the goal to cross the rivers, but ended up drowning in the mud We're grown enough to spot the beauty, but still we choose to let it die We set the goal to cross the rivers, but ended up drowning in the mud We're grown enough to spot the beauty, but still we choose to let it die I'm used to being lost inside the world where the misery has its own price I never really cared We have lost our way selling lives for profit Nature will prevail at the end of human reign We have lost our way selling lives for profit Forced into despair we have sealed our fate in coffin Reaching the unknown together we fall
