Semblance Of Liberty

Born to fight, and we're born to flee
Doomed to live on ecstasy
Born to lie, and we're born to cheat
Look in the mirror, who do you see?

Born to flee, and we're born to fight
Without your mask, you're terrified
Don't hide your personality
That's who you are, your identity

If the virtues of tomorrow
Cause the greed of today
We won't have a future
Nor liberty

Born to breathe, and we're born to pursue
That's all we are supposed to do
The semblance of our liberty
Is nothing more than slavery

Born to flee, and we're born to fight
Is it failure that's our delight?
Born to cheat, and we're born to lie
Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?

If the virtues of tomorrow
Cause the greed of today
We won't have a future
And no more liberty

If the virtues of tomorrow
Set the need on the way
We won't have a future nor liberty

Private vice leads to public virtue

[Laughs!]

Raised to think that we are free
Living in our caves
Being slaves

We lost control of our lives
At the mercy of the waves
Massive waves

Blind to see what's going on
Conditioned as we are
And we are

We lost control of our greed
But now we face it all
Face our fall

Keeping all that we've created
And consuming all that's possible
Reaching deep into temptation
Nothing can stop us

Guarantee our hard-earned profits
Multiplied ten-fold if possible
Reaching out for new redemption
Nothing avails our needs

"My opponent won't rule out raising taxes.
But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no.
And they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say to them:
Read my lips."
[George H. W. Bush]

If the virtues of tomorrow
Curse the greed of today,
We won't have a future
And no more liberty.

If the fails of tomorrow
Set the need on the way,
We never had a future anyway.
We had no future 'till today.

Time and tide
Will not wait for anyone

White Waters

I see a silhouette, liquid that moves
Skin like a pearl in the sea
I cannot resist this, her voice in the wind
But is it my eyes are deceived?
Is it you I see?

Lie down in my arms
Trust what you see
Smooth your brow, you will be with me
To find your relief

Gazing at whitecaps, coming so close
Everything's suddenly clear
Numb with the aching, and still I am waiting
The water is pulling me near
Would you welcome me?

Lie down in my arms
Try not to breathe
Quiet love, you are now with me
You need no words to speak

For my mistakes, I am to blame
Never believed that it was all meant to fall
I'd give my life, to have you near once again
Take me away, would you forgive me?

Design Your Universe - A New Age Dawns - Pt. VI

We're blind and eager.
Avarice will set us back to blank.
Those who wager all will have to name a reason.
(If you can't let go,) you will end up empty handed
(If you can't control,) you'll live your life in vain.

Who decides about my time to come?
Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom?

Don't look back.
Keep on track to break the curse.
Take the chance:
Design your universe.

We can't undo what we have done,
So show us now what we've become.
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny,
So show responsibility,
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness.

To take for taking's sake
Will leave a path of loss and strain,
And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason.
(If you can't let go,) you will end up empty handed
(If you can't control,) you'll live your life in vain

Who decides about what's true or false?
Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?

Don't look back.
Keep on track to break the curse.
Take the chance:
Design your universe.

We can't undo what we have done,
So show us now what we've become.
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny,
So show responsibility,
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness.

The time has come. We have to see
That total wisdom is in reach.
The time has come to colour in the lines.
We must identify the signs.

So many people are full of hate,
While love and light are in their reach.
So many people will harm themselves,
But life can be so beautiful.

So many people will idolize,
While their own success is in their reach.
Don't forget you're able to
Design your own universe.

Find your balance.
Sink into rumination.

Ipsum te reperies.
Potire mundorum.
Potire omnis mundi.
[You will discover yourself.
Become a master of worlds.
Become a master of the whole world.]

We can't undo what we have done,
So show us now what we've become.
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny,
So show responsibility,
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness.

Can't undo.
Show us now.
Confront us.
We're the weakness.
Can't evade.
Show us how.
We have our sense.

Incentive

[Bonus Track]

How can we conduct
Symphonies of our destruction
Without having a clue
How to interpret the darkest notes?

There is no need to feel so depraved.
A spotless disease is what I am.
All those fools that I have enslaved
Were so long ago already damned.

There is no need to be so engaged.
The master of the stash is what I am.
All this distress is what I have engraved
Is forming the path that I defend.

Come with me. Acquire the key
To unlock forbidden doors.
Come with me. Be finally free.
The incentive, your decree.

How can we conduct
Symphonies of our destruction
Without having a clue
How to interpret the darkest notes?

There is no need to feel so alone
When your white guide knocks at the door.
Don't you disappoint her, no don't you dare.
She'll destroy you to the quick, to the bone.

Come with me. Acquire the key
To unlock forbidden doors.
Come with me. Be finally free.
The incentive, your decree.

Come with me. Acquire the key
To unlock forbidden doors.
Come with me. Be finally free
The incentive, your decree.

Come with me. On your knees.
The celebration ends.
Come with me. Never flee.
Save me from this.

Requiem For The Indifferent (2012)



Monopoly On Truth

Nos docti, pensantes
Sed non semper veridici

At the Zenith of wisdom
No defying myself
Defying myself
To the point of reaction
You propose and I dispose

I see what you mean
It's clear, what you say
The truth isn't just a derivative of your views
Truth is a fiction of your views

These are my thoughts
No discussion
My righteous plan

Just think it over now
Another point of view
It's time we realize our errs
Where it is leading to if nobody sees it
There's never an absolute

Nos docti
Sed non semper veridici

I can be so enchanting
With words beset in gold
Beset in gold
Your senseless demanding
You propose and I dispose

I see what you mean
It's clear, what you say
The truth isn't just a derivative of your views
Truth is a fiction of your views

This is the way
No discussion
In my life

Just think it over now
Another point of view
It's time we realize our errs
Where it is leading to if nobody sees it
There's never an absolute

You're in denial

Can we trust all the facts and believe that the fancied wise are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see all the
Things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go

Your fury can no longer stand
This hauteur will come to an end
Looking for leftover friends is in vain
You'll be alone again

No more refusal
Face it, slow down

It is time for renewal
And expect no miracles
Expect no miracles when you're
In an endless fall
No regrets if you're leaving
You're a true deceiver
Accept the here and now
Or regret will end up...

Mask of justice, shield of menacing strength
Will not bend, only break

Can't we respect, can't we neglect
No respecting so neglecting
Those who are suffering in need of help?
Those who suffer, needing our help
You are the one I wouldn't like to become
You are not one I would like to become
Not at all in the end

Hear our calling
Carry me slowly
In the depths of your life
Fear the thunder
Free me from barren fields
And grey thunder lies
Semblance Falling
Under that grand façade
The truth loves to hide

Can we trust all the facts
And believe that the fancied wise
Are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see
All the things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go

Can we trust all the facts
And believe that the fancied wise
Are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see
All the things that are not meant to be
Then you know it's time to let them go
To let them go

Nos docti
Sed plus Scimus
Non spernentes
Quod dicunt alii

Storm The Sorrow

Along the way I find myself
To be confined within me
No place for any other's mind to interfere,
To grasp the meaning of it all
To overcome my limits
And dance away from any void and empty tones,

Just tell me why
Just tell me how
I can survive this time

Believe yourself and look away
From all that's right within you
Leave all your worries at the door and drift away,
I’ve tried to peer into the core
But could not storm the sorrow
My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray

Another time without a trace,
Condemn me now
Send me to hell
For I'm already failing

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed

No time should ever go to waste
It’s not that complicated
You’re free to live your life at ease
No more restraints

No heed for shadows on your way
That try to steal your laughter
Your light will drive them all away
Be confident

Will I refrain?
Can I repent?
Will you be there?
Erase the page
For I’m alone and ailing

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed

So, this is my life
And it can't break me down
Go, I will decide
Who can come in and heal my disease
Burn it in flames
Kill it and maim
Why can't you see that you need to be freed?

Intertwine the lines beneath the dark
Every bit of pain we're feeling
Every other solemn life, no
In the memories you will find somehow
There used to be a dream unending
No more need to be alone

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
Someone had betrayed

Delirium

Black was the night when I did surrender
I did give in to my weakening sight
Now that I'm empty my dreams once were many
Soul's bitter cry to unleash the divine

When you think there's no way out
And all you see collides
Hope will in the end chase all your fears away

Fighting the source was not recommended
Trails of a wish were the hope to survive
Skins full ablazing release crystal gazing
All of it led to a deeper demise

When you think there's no way out
And no one comprehends
Hope will show your smile again

What I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away
Far away

Losing my reasons,
No lies to believe in
Left the obscure to
The means of escape

Core has been shaken,
There is no more pain to break me
Time has commenced and I long to awake

When you think there's no way out
Leave everything behind
You can live your life anew

What I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away

Far away

Dark days behind me
Won't ever break me now

All that I left behind
Another night
Of weary dreams, unravelling
What's been left behind
Another time
Where days of late are far away

Far away

Just another night
In another time

Internal Warfare

Would anybody dare to know the answer?
Would anybody dare to face the truth?
We bide the time awaiting our answers
To our kind

We're all in this apocalypse together
The horror we so feared can't be undone
We all remove allegiance to disaster
Tragic crime

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends

The piercing eyes of bullets' shine run faster
Than peace and understanding can conceive
To use and to deceive to teach a lesson
Cross the line

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends

I'm a true believer
A soldier with a gun
I shall swipe the earth clean
Won't take long

Te Deplangemus - Haud Resistentes - A Te Vexati - Manebimus

I must trust my instinct
And act on his behalf
My ship is full with water
But won't go down

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends
Never ends

Requiem For The Indifferent

When silence betrays

We've tried to find a reason
To go on and cross the line
Tell me
How can we justify the act
We've tried to look around and
Search for ways to shift the blame
The escape
From moral sense we drift away
When we can't have it all
We want it all

With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all
We'll never find our peace of mind
If we don't leave the past behind
Make up your mind

When silence betrays

We spilled the tears for wretches
And for human sacrifice
Look at them
We've pushed them through the tiny holes
Yet still we know we're all responsible

With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all
We'll never find our peace of mind
If we won't leave the past behind
Make up your mind

Counting down

The road to perdition
Driving fast and without vision

Parva notes circum te
Incorrupta nitidaque
Vide, gusta, senti, bibe
Formam ex eis captes

We're failing we're ailing
Collapse is now drawing nearer
Derailing, the end is nigh

Unravelled, dishevelled
The answer's never been clearer
Unlevelled we're standing by

When we finally find the reason to exist
We will be able to appreciate the fundamental gifts

Drown, bury, erase
All that is dividing us
Down, parry, negate
All that's keeping us from growth
Feel the energy enclosed within us

Try to keep on searching for the meaning of our lives
Find the only values that can help us in our strife
Keep on searching and be ready when the tides are high

Try to find the philosopher deep within you
Trigger and motivate all that matters along your way
Seek and find the answers

With money segregating
The centers are degrading
The devastation
We feared we'd befall
But soon we'll realize that
We can get reunited
This could apply to us all, after all
We'll never find our peace of mind
If we won't leave the past behind
Wake up your troubled mind

Guilty Demeanor

Whenever stories are prescribed
That we could never obelise
Then how could anyone supply a doubt?

I take you at your word

But the tale could have a flaw
And if you find yourself in awe
Then you'll only hunger for the truth

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas

When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall

At times it seems so very hard
All that we learned we must discard
That everyone you'd ever trust
Has lied

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas

When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall

When I'm crucified, haunted and defied
I belong to the few that died for all

You cannot question or defy
Or you'll find out the hard way why
You'd better run before you walk alone

When I'm crucified, taunted and denied
I'll stand strong, with my back against the wall

When I'm crucified, haunted and defied
I belong to the few that died for all

Veritas numquam vincitur ipsa
Ne quae dicuntur imprudenter credas
Sed tua teneas
