The sound of perdition echoes through my head Denying the truth right in front of my eyes So evil and wicked this world seems to me When your life takes a shift fast and unforeseen Wake me up from this nightmare Set me free from this cruel reality Something snapped in my brain Overflown by a blinding fury In a burst of despair drifting me into insanity When your last breath has gone getting consumed by anxiety Cannot take a step back Slowly learning that all life is fragile Why now? How on earth do I deserve this? Why her? Am I haunted by the god of misfortune? Why now? I’m just a shell of my former self Why her? Beseech the devil as all life decays Sadness has taken control Words can’t express my grief In sorrow I’d cast all away The only way I feel embraced Can’t I take back control? Isn’t there a possibility? Can’t I take a step back? Leaving me without dignity Why am I doomed to fail? Am I travelling through agony? What is left in the end? Will I ever find my peace of mind?

Relentless 04:13
So open up your mind Freed from this frantic world, freed from insanity Rest your soul while listening, to this melody from sirens above the clouds, where sorrows fade away Relentless we pursue the promised gold Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath While we walk the abyss we are following our bliss While we yearn for fortune we forget the way of life Change Relentless we pursue the promised gold Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath While we walk the abyss we are following our bliss While we yearn for fortune we neglect the sin of life hunted by our ghosts, overtaken by our fears Relentless we all dig our grave, there will never be a change The Clock is our master, our master, our master And we are its slaves, its slaves, its slaves In mind we are creators, creators, creators But in truth we just obey, compulsion, oppression Relentless we pursue the promised gold Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath While we walk the abyss we’re following our bliss While we yearn for fortune we neglect the sin of life hunted by our ghosts, overtaken by our fears Relentless we all dig our grave, there will never be a change

Still Alive 04:01
Since the dawn of existence We strive for perfection Conquer a land to ensure The survival of our kind Longing for your goal Longing for your goal Repress them with your might Repress them with your almighty Power Introduce the survival of the fittest A fate you can't change or disavow Altering your equilibrium Can’t you see their suffering eyes The desire for change Accelerate the looming disaster A sign that you are Still alive What does it mean to be? Driven to progress, driven to change Breaking your identity Broken and outcast you’re roaming the worlds What does it mean to be? Grasping the truth, accepting your deeds In the end you’re still alive Longing for your goal Longing for your goal Repress them with your might Repress them with your almighty Power Introduce the survival of the fittest A fate you can't change or disavow Altering your equilibrium Still alive What does it mean to be? Driven to progress, driven to change Breaking your identity Broken and outcast you’re roaming the worlds What does it mean to be? Grasping the truth, accepting your deeds In the end you’re still alive

Tyrants 05:01
Trying to hide the truth, hide the truth From the masses Carelessly you proceed, you proceed to exploit it all There’s no turning back, turning back From progress When you drop your mask, drop your mask It will be our time No return, accept your faith Your filthy gains, turns us insane All life counts, a simple truth It’s your time to get replaced You are not prepared, not prepared so suffer You failed to adapt, to adapt a changing world Can’t keep all your wealth, all your wealth You’ve cherished Can’t you see the doom, see the doom You will awake No return, accept your faith Your filthy greed turns us insane All life counts, a simple truth It’s your time to get replaced Behind your blackening eyes, blackening eyes You wait in fear All your luck has gone, luck has gone Soon you’ll be dead With the very last, very last strength you’ve got Clinging to your might, to your might as it fades away No return, accept your faith Your filthy gains, turns us insane All life counts, a simple truth It’s your time to get replaced From the ashes another tyrant rises From the ashes another tyrant rises to rule…

Release Release the counterbalance We shoulder the weight of the world Frailty is in us all, no self-control Is a world of illusion, taking place in our minds? earth bound to erupt Poisoned by its mankind Burning skin Bloodshot eyes Inhaling the Venom provoking our own demise Is this the next step of evolution? A cold feeling is running through my veins Open your eyes Before it crashes down There is no change, taking place in our mind Our actions infecting the earth Burning skin Bloodshot eyes Inhaling the Venom provoking our own demise Self-inflicting thoughts Taking place in our minds Like mutated parasites the poison is called mankind

Rebuild 03:18
The hazard is pervasive Infecting us with all devouring hatred born out of fear Finally we’re free, to precious the price we paid Ignorance and selfishness the reason for this misery Can we rebuild what is lost? Broken trust can’t be restored Indoctrinating our mind Dividing us at the core Creating mindless machines Orchestrating the masses just to create two classes Finally we’re free, To precious the price, Ignorance and selfishness The reason for this misery The reason for this misery, misery, misery Can we rebuild what is lost?

Dream 03:22
Controlled by your dreams Controlled by your fears Controlled by your dreams Controlled by your fears This World is very different From what you’ve expect it to be Here every mistake counts Bound to your responsibility If you don’t fit in these shoes You will be shaped from the start You cannot choose which path to take You’re crippled by your fear Close your eyes ascend to the sky Close your eyes ascend to the sky Close your eyes ascend to the sky Close your eyes descend into sleep Enter your dreams Only here you’re truly free Embrace your dreams You’re confused by truth and lie Lost in your dreams Hide yourself from reality Imprisoned in mind tell me are you truly free, truly free tell me are you truly free, are you truly free The only thing on your mind Chasing your dreams Neglecting everyone that is dear Living your dreams Sacrifice everything recklessly Lost in your dreams Turning yourself into a numb machine Imprisoned in Mind tell me are you truly free, truly free tell me are you truly free, are you truly free An Illusion of freedom we’ll be servants endlessly

Void 04:35
The world we live in is destined to fail, destined to fail Extracting all resources until it’s too late An Eruption will occur deep within the earth This will be the end of all life, leaving the planet void Destruction will bring us void Humanity, the cause of this void Trapped in a never ending fear of void Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire When all resources have been consumed, have been consumed The system will collapse now adapt or die The Corruption lies too deep within our mind And leads to the same destiny, nothing but void Destruction will bring us void Humanity, the cause of this void Trapped in a never ending fear of void Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire But it’s not empty and black Then tonight we light up the void the Void, no Choice A storm breaks out, a prophecy rebellion, leading to awakening Proclaim yourself the eternal king (eternal king) Starring from above, targeting his prey But let me tell you this, you’re irrelevant Then in the end you turn to, nothing but void Destruction will bring us void Humanity, the cause of this void Trapped in a never ending fear of void Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire

about

The album contains 9 songs that will kick your ass with a relentlessly hard sound. The focus of the longplayer is however less on death and the devil than on current socio-critical themes. This was also taken up by the polish artist Xaay and visually implemented on the cover artwork. The debut was mixed by Vladimir Cochet at the Conatus Studio in Vevey, while Max Morton (Morton Studios, Jinjer, Sacrosanct, among others) is responsible for mastering.
