Your Damnation
04:21
|
|||
|
Amends must be made but where do you draw the line?
Your cry must be heard but no one needs to die.
A straw that broke the camels' backs and years of rage burst.
Now all behold in which distress you have been immersed.
Behind all this chaos someone's pulling strings.
Divide is the mission.
Fear and submission.
United we march to our salvation.
United in hearts with your frustration.
Once it's sparked just like locust it spreads.
A point beyond reason, fear and regrets.
Inflict on the masses all what's bottled inside.
United we march,
Our cause is divine.
United you act on your frustration
Anomic you march to your damnation.
Hijack this passion, cheapen this worthy cause.
Go ahead and mark us all as foes.
You've found your match as we drown in gasoline.
Engulfed in amok, unleash the beast within.
Amplify our anger with your greed.
Create a mountain from the smallest deed.
Sold your cause to the highest bid.
Amplify our anger with your greed.
Create a mountain from the smallest deed.
Sold your cause to the highest bid.
All the effort you have invested.
Victory, you could almost taste it.
Chance for justice that you have wasted.
Foul alliance you have manifested.
A foul alliance you've manifested.

My Grass Is Greener
04:36
|
|||
|
Am I pacing aimlessly or walking towards the goal?
Determined? Or just a drifter lost inside this world?
Am I living life? Are my dreams sincere?
Or have I fooled myself throughout all these years?
Some look at me with envy.
For them my grass is greener.
They think I've solved the puzzle.
They say I've cracked the riddle.
Aspire High,
To the image they sanctify.
Another smile,
Yet the void is growing wide.
No longer living for myself.
My heart is in another place.
I do not know another way,
The ship has sailed, the crossroads passed.
We animate exalted roles,
Eternal life as credits role.
Some look at me with envy.
For them my grass is greener.
They think I've solved the puzzle.
They say I've cracked the riddle.
Aspire High,
To the image they sanctify.
Another smile,
Yet the void is growing wide.
We cannot walk all the paths.
It's in the choices we make (It's in the choices we make).
Make sure your heart and mind lay where your truth is.
Aspire High,
To the image they sanctify (they sanctify).
Another smile,
Yet the void is growing wide.
Yet the void is growing wide.

And The Earth Has Rested
04:15
|
|||
|
This planet we have violated.
All the species we've eradicated.
To our convenience domesticated.
It seems our greed knows no bounds.
Entombed in our ivory towers,
As nature rejuvenates.
And the earth has rested.
Humanity is tested.
We're caged and vested.
Virtual reality as casket.
A comfort zone,
For years we've nested.
And the earth has rested.
We will not learn until it hurts and scars us.
This fateful spring the lesson starts.
Earth will find a way to dethrone us.
Poetic justice has arrived at last.
We've been gifted this mirror to hinder our raging decadence.
It's time for introspection,
There is a crownless reflection.
The madness between the four walls of our isolation shouldn't be in vain,
Shouldn't be in vain!
We've crossed the oceans, our towers kiss the skies.
We worship idols as mother nature cries.
Here to remind us how fragile are our lives.
We are decrowned as this calamity arrives
And the earth has rested.
Humanity is tested.
We're caged and vested.
Virtual reality as casket.
A comfort zone,
for years we've nested.
And the earth has rested.

Utopia
04:19
|
|||
|
When we forget what is hate, Love will be meaningless.
When we forget what is war, Peace will be worthless.
When we forgive all the sins. What is forgiveness?
What is forgiveness?
We seek perfection when proportion is the answer.
We lack the comprehension what utopia really stands for.
When the last war has ended and the starving are fed.
The last prison is shut, no one's sick, no one's sad,
What is there left in this life? What is there left to get?
We reached the garden of Eden.
When there's no balance to break,
The temptation overtakes.
Forbidden fruits all around,
Awaiting our mistake.
We seek perfection when proportion is the answer.
We lack the comprehension what utopia really stands for.
We seek perfection when proportion is the answer.
We lack the comprehension what utopia really stands for.

White Lilly
04:21
|
|||
|
At fifteen you've reached towards the sky.
Determined to prove how high flowers can fly.
Your fate - a double edged sword
For glory and fame, for the sake of the world.
As the aces fall, you have proven your worth
But your luck isn’t endless.
You’ve been toying with death and averting the scythe.
Now they know who you are flying amongst the ravens.
White Lilly of Stalingrad.
Strikes fear in the Nazi heart
Tailed by eight. Your sky is turning bleak.
No escape, only final words to speak.
Your name goes far, you’re a target on their quest
Her final test, this flight is her last.
The lilies preen her plane.
A target to be slain
Your sign (your sign), your name
Have betrayed you!
White Lilly of Stalingrad.
Strikes fear in the Nazi heart
Another beast goes down in flames.
Another Lilly decorates her plane.
The fog of war has cleared and here you lay,
A flower picked too soon near the town of red ray,
Your Lilies may have withered but your legacy stays,
An inspiring tale of the first female ace.

Purge Of Sanity
05:06
|
|||
|
Conceal the things which are unpleasant to hear.
Hide them from pain, shelter them from fear.
A digital trial, get the firing squads.
Another offering to censorship gods.
Fill their lives with your false blinding light.
A generation of zombies with a decaying mind.
Stain their hearts with utopic ideals,
To the point they believe those fairytales are real.
A digital trial, get the firing squads.
Another offering to censorship gods.
Make them believe that they can never be wrong.
Don't burst the bubble you've been blowing so long.
Holy outrage as Alliance is broken.
Spill blood! The tribe have spoken.
A righteous mob with an elegant tongue.
Astray from consensus, you no longer belong.
Your righteousness stripped, your nobility taken.
One slip on your path and you're forever mistaken.
A digital trial, get the firing squads.
Another offering to censorship gods.
Thought police assuming the position.
Say the magic words, invite the inquisition.
Abandon tenets of individuality.
We're tokens of evil in this purge of sanity.
Holy outrage, the tribe have spoken!

Ascetic
03:56
|
|||
|
I am rotting inside this uncracked shell.
Spreading light but inside is hell.
A constant race with no end in sight
Infinite urge like a parasite.
Opaqued my eyes, cannot see the light.
The greater the challenge,
The sweeter the prize.
Ascetic or driven?
Up to you to decide.
It's your goals on which you emphasize.
While your wellness you compromise.
Don't be a martyr leaving things undone.
On yourself don't roll the dice.
Neurotic and anxious.
There goes your redemption.
The rising up tension.
Was not your intention.
Love thy neighbor like you love yourself.
But it's yourself you neglect.
You're not a pawn in this game of chess.
It's not a default to give in for less.
You're not compelled to bear this cross.
We're not prepared to endure this loss.
The greater the challenge,
The sweeter the prize.
Ascetic or driven?
Up to you to decide.
The greater the challenge (Neurotic and anxious),
the sweeter the prize (There goes your redemption),
Ascetic or driven (The rising up tension),
Up to you to decide.

Turbulence
04:37
|

|
You've found your happiness,
The one worthy of your white dress.
He puts your ring and swears,
To love and treat you like a princess.
You're blinded by his charm,
He tries his best, he means no harm.
But deep inside your mind a restless, loud alarm.
Another day in your prison cell,
Can’t break the shackles of this evil spell.
His manipulations made you surrender.
This vivid nightmare is your daily truth.
Despite the pain you cause me,
Somehow, you're still my hero.
How can I put my trust in?
Someone that I should fear of,
No matter how you've wronged me,
You still get my reverence,
It's time to open my eyes.
It might not be my fault,
It's the only reality I've come to know.
Frightened by change,
Abnegated to grow.
Another day in your prison cell,
Can’t break the shackles of this evil spell.
His manipulations made you surrender.
This vivid nightmare is your daily truth.
(SOLO)
I've wanted to crawl to escape (to escape),
To taste the feeling of freedom.
I've wanted to leave the past behind,
And start new chapter in my life.
You're longing for salvation,
For dreams and aspiration,
Emotional repression,
A mental wound.
Declining sanitation,
Blaming yourself for this situation.
You pray for a miracle,
But all horizons are dark.
Another day in your prison cell,
Can’t break the shackles of this evil spell.
Manipulations made you surrender,
This vivid nightmare is your daily truth.
A glimpse of hope in your black lifeless eyes,
A hell on earth disguised as paradise.
Your perfect life.
Your perfect life!

Rebirth
04:44
|
|||
|
As in every chapter in history.
Once again there's a conflict on our hands.
What future holds is a mystery?
What will be the verdict for this land?
They come through sea. They come through land.
They climb the mountains. They crawl through sand.
Their bones will feed this hungry soil.
As once again this land exchanges hands.
Legions sent, armies stand tall.
Another siege, another wall.
Fortresses rise, fortresses fall.
Keep on raising the death toll.
In blood and fire Judea fell.
A nation scattered and put through hell.
In blood and fire, we found demise.
In blood and fire Judea will rise.
An isle of reason in a sea of insanity.
Hope for the haunted who seek love and humanity.
A land of war which gave birth to prosperity.
A land of god soaked in blood of believers.
Legions sent, armies stand tall.
Another siege, another wall.
Fortresses rise, fortresses fall.
Keep on raising the death toll.
In blood and fire Judea fell.
A nation scattered and put through hell.
In blood and fire, we found demise.
In blood and fire Judea will rise.
Skyscrapers growing like mushrooms after rain.
These dunes have turned into a vision of our men.
Desert retreats and forests spread.
Through blood and tears, with faith and sweat!
In blood and fire Judea fell.
A nation scattered and put through hell.
In blood and fire, we found demise.
In blood and fire Judea will rise.

Puppeteer
04:34
|

|
Sound the trumpet of your puppeteers.
Play the strings of your public's fears.
Empty slogans and agenda to match.
The eggs of hatred have started to hatch.
Cheer! Cheer! For the mighty puppeteer.
Strings you chose to overlook.
Anarchy will now reveal.
Enlighten us with your divinity.
A mere distraction for our ears to hear.
Mesmerized the blind, make truth so hard to find.
Still we are many that can see the strings so clear.
Kneel! Kneel! For the mighty puppeteer.
Strings you chose to overlook.
Anarchy will now reveal.
A modern-day Robin hood and justice for all.
Portray us as demons as we question your call.
For justice is blind but we can see whom you've marked.
The cannons are aimed at the wrong ship we've embarked.
The cannons are aimed!
For justice is blind but we can see whom you've marked.
The cannons are aimed at the wrong ship we've embarked.
You preach for peace while it's your brothers you attack.
And yet you dare to libel us for what you lack.
You preen yourselves with titles undeserved.
How steep have your morals swerved.
Sound the trumpet of your puppeteers.
Play the strings of your public's fears.
You've almost succeed to make the puppet look real.
But the nose kept on growing, getting hard to conceal.
He's a real boy they keep on shouting out loud.
Polluting our minds, polarizing the crowd.

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis.
