2.	A call Of Destiny 05:45	lyrics	buy track
Ho! Will we live until tomorrow? I guess we have a little more to give Can we all wait and pray for better days? Have we forgotten, the future still in our hands Can’t you see our fucking numbness? I just can’t believe all of this ignorance Open wide! It’s happening right in front of our own eyes Still can do more than dragging down The humanity to the ground Some people give their life for a better world Some people simply don’t give a damn fuck! So why should we follow the black hearted In their villainess to make everything divided and chaotic? Can’t you see our fucking numbness? I just can’t believe the sight of those innocents Open wide! They’re all dying right in front of our own eyes Still can do more than dragging down The humanity Can you hear the call of destiny? The real good reason that pushes us To go through the right way Can you hear your subconscious Who screams out in vain? Do as you think what’s good and not… Not as they tell you to do Stop spreading evil and start on better days Fight for your freedom, you always meant to be free Defy the black hearted and stare them right in the eyes Then maybe we’ll prosper together in a better way Ho! Will we live until tomorrow? …. Tomorrow! I guess we have a little more to say Can we all wait and pray for better days? Have we forgotten the future still in our hands….the future still in our hands!!!!
3.	Strength Of Will 04:50	lyrics	buy track
All around me everything’s burnt I walk the empty streets, a ghost in the ruins I breathe smoke and ashes My skin burns and rashes Noxious winds have swept any hope away Can’t find anyone who have survived. I look in despair for a trace of any kind I search for someone who might have come My way, through chaos and destruction But no light or sign shows on the horizon Now my life has no more meaning, Stranded, starving, aching, yearning Can’t lay down to die, I still have to try Set to survive through grief and misery Loneliness creeps into my head What little I still own, won’t really save me Fallin’ away from sanity Crawling amongst the dead, The sole witness of mankind’s dusk (And) its memories left to rust. Buildings crumble down, corpses lie everywhere Eating from gutters I starve and hunger Helpless, pathetic and pointless A lone drifter in this bleak hereafter Now my life has no more meaning, Wandering with no place to go Can’t lay down to die, I still got to try Set to survive in this forsaken land I must make a stand And find some strength
4.	Survivors 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Brace yourself and take a hold on us Engage the fight, do you dare to strike? We come to you and unleash havoc Let you helpless in the aftershock We broke the waves and crush the storm From the edge of our teeth, From the marrow of our bones We’re molded in iron and cast in stone Any compromise will be overthrown You can’t take what we took from you We hold this ground, bold and strong We made ourselves, indestructible Come what may, we’re invincible… yeah! We chose our path no matter what the way Where we thrive no one’s left alive We break through and shatter the core No will can oppose us, we’re unstoppable We saved ourselves from the depths We took damage and evaded death We brought back a fragment of hell And break free from our restraining cell…hah! When darkness looms, choices are made Either you fall for the easiest way Or you rise strong before you’re enslaved It’s up to you, which way will you take… which way will you take… Nevermore, we’ll be run down, We’re beyond all pain and above this game To this vow we are bound… Bound by blood! You can’t take what we took from you We hold this ground, bold and strong We made ourselves, indestructible Come what may, we’re invincible…Yeah! When darkness looms, choices are made Either you fall for the easiest way Or you rise strong before you’re enslaved It’s up to you, which way will you take…Huh? which way will you take (x4)
5.	Depraved-Desensitized-Normalized 05:23	lyrics	buy track
Let me ask you questions who run in my thoughts for a while A vision of what life has become through my eyes Haven’t we crossed the limits of ethic in society? And where will we go? Where will we go from there! It's not that I'm a puritan but it seems awkward (all) these obscenities Aren’t we all conscienceless to deny the obvious To watch on screen all of those absurdities Sedated we are, indifference is blinding us! Maybe it's all me, who's deluded about everything Am I the only one who thinks that all went astray? Are we truly worthy to live in life’s graces Hey! Can you tell me? Because it feels like Depraved: we are like never before Desensitized: we stand still and watch them suffer Normalized: we surely don’t give a damn anymore In a global view, can’t you see what we are? We are the parasites of this world Hey you! So far, what have you done to change this world? Are you a lazy fuck or just brain dead in the head? Despite the fact that you still lying to yourself Can you really face … Can you really face the obvious truth? Depraved: we are like never before Desensitized: We stand still and watch them suffer Normalized: we surely don’t give a damn anymore In a global view can’t you see what we are? We are the unparadized of this world
6.	Useless Questions 05:13	lyrics	buy track
What makes us human beings? Is there something or someone watching? What purpose can we give To that fragment of light pulsing inside? There’s nothing beyond the sky Nobody’s watching, nobody’s caring The sky’s simply up there And us, we play our games just below With no guide … no guide to follow Even when the past reveals itself Unfolding its stories and mysteries We can’t take no answers for our own Build up from scratch and imagination Waiting for a judgement day is useless I think we had already been trialed And the judge couldn’t care less We’re paying for the crimes of a distant existence Every day, we live to carry out our sentence Even when the past reveals itself Unfolding its stories and mysteries We can’t take no answer for our own Build up from scratch and imagination
7.	World In Peril 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Lost are the times of yore When mother earth stood unharmed and bore no scars But one simple thing has changed it all… We’ve learned to walk and strode the earth We spread and defiled, wasting the land Depleting the soils and lunging for more Will we wake from our slumber? A mess of blood and fire Casualties’ pile by the number As mankind grows larger and dire Can we hope for something better? (Will we) sink even deeper? Huh! How could we know the answer? In a world in such a peril… Conscience and reason won’t save us from our rampage We relish from the plunders in a consumer rage Toward progress we burn any piece of Eden left To which we shall give no respite and no rest Passing ashes on from one generation to the next We mark the future of oblivion’s crest Will we wake from our slumber? A mess of blood and fire Casualties’ pile by the number As mankind grows larger and dire Can we hope for something better? (Will we sink) even deeper? Huh! How could we know the answer? In a world in such a peril… Can we hope for something better? As mankind grows larger and dire How could we know the answer? In a world in such a peril… At this rate we won’t make it for tomorrow We can see what’s looming, holding our breath It’s way too late for any kinds of regret Square your shoulders and creep out of the gutter There’s no way to dodge the deadly blow We must repent and accept once this world is burnt There’ll be no other one to go. Will we wake from our slumber? A mess of blood and fire Casualties’ pile by the number As mankind grows larger and dire Can we hope for something better? As mankind grows larger and dire How could we know the answer? In a world in such a peril
8.	One Of Them 05:26	lyrics	buy track
The sun is gone, dusk’s falling on the earth Bonfires and maddening gazes, the human race is up for a dance We have learned the steps, all following through the maze Walk the paths, don’t be so hasty There’s no way we can lift the trance Everywhere we look, we can’t escape the fate No hope to break the spell, not even a soul to sell We’ve sought solace, (but) none’s given to ourselves Only one wish in mind as we slip down the well The dance goes on and on! …. and turns us inside out It leaves us bare and soulless, hungry and rancid The trance carries on and on! … And abominates us Forget what you are, you’re not even born human You were made monster by the words of men The curses won’t lift as we are growing old You’re trapped amongst the craziest of the madmen Are you One of them now? Who’s feasting on your own vitality, who’s drinking your blood your soul is lost, shattered and crushed The dance goes on and on! …and turns us inside out It leaves us bare and soulless, hungry and rancid The trance carries on and on! …and liberates us Forget what you are and born you are damned You were made monster by the works of men
9.	The Stranger Within 07:51	lyrics	buy track
Under foreign skies an absurd quest begins No counter curse to find but only memories to grind, I pass by the faceless statues of my different selves, And thru the mess I redefine the borders of my mind. Once you’ve gone beyond yourself, You will meet what you’ve despised… huh! So much hatred resides in me, makes me ugly and vile, And it forms a thing … a thing I’ve tried to hide Growing deeper and deeper, sometimes it takes over me It creeps in and turns me in a complete stranger Once you know how to hate yourself, You will see what you really are! Blank face reflects and stares at me Tries to see beyond my eyes; Tries to find the stranger within; Tries to tell and expose the lies; I look in the mirror and I try to see beyond my eyes; Try to find the stranger within; I grin and smile to all those lies; I’ve escaped myself and went thru emptiness. My blood turns to black, my essence is wasted; See the remnants of my inner self : I’m emptied from within and thorn apart… It’s time to recollect and walk again; the quest’s still underway Make peace with what’s inside and erase what I’ve done. Once you’ve mated with nothingness, You’ll be hailed amongst the soulless. I can do without him; I can fight his will, And then I shall rise and kill the stranger within Once you’ve gone beyond yourself, Once you’ve mated with nothingness, Once you know how to hate yourself, Only then you’ll be free again.
