Terror
Manipulation
Trapped in despair
Hunger
Travesty
Persecuted in a darkened lair
Taking away my soul
Erasing my defiant self
Beneath the abhorrent face
Unfolds a tyrannical beast
Conform
Consume
Confined in an abysmal realm
Obey
Stay asleep
Submit to the darkness at helm
They live
We die
Trapped in our fleshblood shell
They weave lies
While you sleep
While you smile
When your dreams walk across nigh surface
Trails of hope are washed away
Monetized in silent immolation
Scratched by
Morbid claws of malevolence
Spellbound in a void
Labyrinth of self made kind
Have we all, sold ourselves?
Have we all, lost conscience?
Your soul is not for sale
Your heart is not so frail
Subjugate the tormenting hand
Brotherhood of humanity withstand

Desolation
04:35
|

Evil moonshine that swarms upon the moor
Rays soaking in the darkness
The mist is calling in the cold and eerie plateau
Seeping an unholy existence
Curse of the eye
Behold and beyond
Killing in the name of honor
Victims of us
Marked down to death
For there shall be no more qualm
Feeding injustice
Silence tries to speak
Numbed by the forces
Forged by unforeseen
Claws of the deadly
The vicious disease
Wings spread across
The naïve humanity
Away from the truth
How far can you go?
Sound of the calling
The Sound of your soul
Entwined in darkness
In form of light
Spark the inner lightning
Embrace depth inside
Eyes of deceit
Are always watching you
You don’t need to run
You can never hide
For you’ve confined
Yourself to your thoughts
You’re so consumed
Oblivious and immersed
Bound in your soul shackles
Bounded by lies
Which layered and layered upon thyself
Shadows dance in the void
Fangs of slithering terror
Smear the sanity surface
Shadows lurk in dark veil
Ravenous insatiable greed
The venom is stricken deep
Submerged and Subliminal
Engraved imminent desolation
Away from the truth
How far can you go?
Sound of the calling
Sound of your soul
Entwined in darkness
In form of light
Fate is infected
Desolate, demise

Spawn
of a new dawn
Rolling tears softly smear
Lashes of the venomous whip
Swing over suffering bodies
Trampled by smothering feet
Feet that knows not of pain
Knows not of misery
Knows not of the fire
The silence buried deep
Rising with the thunder
The lightning unforeseen
Unforeseen
Rolling tears softly smear
Searing grains pushing with a rising force
Pushing the knees that touchdown with agony
Scattered stains speak out of the burning skin
Stand on your feet tonight
Let the flames ignite
Break the walls
Rage ! Rise ! Scream ! Defy !
Stand on your feet tonight
Let the flames ignite
Live before you
Die ! Rise ! Scream ! Defy !
Screams of the drifting souls
Blackened over time
Rays of the scorching sun
Shine over the surface
Shine with the power
The call of the tormented
The cry of the enraged eyes
Every drop of tears
Seek for the right
Embark on a new journey
Thrust away the oppressor
The shadow of the dark
Embracing fists burn with the fire
The raging inferno
Exterminate, Despise
Dust now gazes at blaze of glory
Stand on your feet tonight
Let the flame ignite
Break the walls
Rage ! Rise ! Scream ! Defy !
Why can’t you see the cry?
In search of the light
How long shall we
Cry ! Die ! Fight ! Deny !
RISE!

Destroy
Annihilate
Exterminate
Fuck them all!
Eradicate their filthy existence
Redeem your silent ignorance
Immerse yourself
Behind the dark veil
they sneak at you (sneak at you)
enslaving your mind
twisting your thoughts
stealing your rights
they laugh at you
playing your lives, they're the
merchants of death
Hour of salvation is here
They are the, impostors
In cowardice they hide
Strike now as the time is right
Together, we do or die
We are one, the others
Bringers of thy peace
We fight for what is ours
For freedom and honour we bleed

[All lines in this song is a tribute to Poet Maya Angelou, lines taken from her poem ‘Still I Rise’]
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eye,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
I rise
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Enemy
05:00
|

Look in the mirror
A deadly silence
Invocation of a sinister kind
Beneath the veils
Of a facile shell
Accumulation of an imminent strife
Shadow, the craving shadow
Lurk inside your volatile self
Corroding edge of your blunt disguise
Sanctity surrounded, in a wave of lies
There is no fear
There is no remorse
You only see one side of the game
Craft your ways like a slithering serpent
Cause I’ll be hunting for you, you again!
There will be pain
There will be agony
Mark your escape
It will never be the same
Countdown to the end of the day
Watch your step
Watch your lies
You’ve only scratched the surface
Keep it up, you might go inside
Unleash the doom within
For only dread, will be by your side
I am the one
I am the enemy
I am the fear that haunts within
You are the prey
You are the ember
I am the fire that burns within
I am the fire that burns within
There is no fear
There is no remorse
You only see one side of the game
Craft your ways, like a slithering serpent
Cause I’ll be hunting for you, you again!
Watch your words
You know your vice
Lurk inside your blunt disguise
This ugly game has blackened your soul
Your precious sanity has lost control

Prophecy
05:06
|

Now is the time
Hear the war cry
the countdown has begun
unleash your wrath
Vicious, malicious
Fangs of despair
Upon you, We’re on the run
Savage, mean ravage, Army of
chaos & hatred
feeding disorder for new order
Humans enslaved , By horrors
minds are encaged, dictated by hatred
Bringers of death surrounds us
across borders
This is the battle foretold
Now is the time
This is the glory behold
Now you will hear the cry
We are here, we are one
Our glorious time has come
Why should humanity be sacrificed?
Why should we give up without a fight?
Our innocence is the price we’re paying
We must stop their sick powerplay
Mankind might lose their existence
If we don’t fight with our resistance
They are feeding on us
Like a fucking disease
That runs in our blood
To bring us down in our knees
Synthetic mannerism
Behind the corporate veils
That wants to mess with your head
By planting evil seeds
The threat is now imminent
Consequence of our ignorance
We can’t let nuclear warfare to be true
Destroy this prophecy
They planned to make it true
For only humanity shall prevail
