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

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
