lyrics

Cracks have formed in the rationale
Common sense over ancient texts
A moral code is human
Not born from the spiritual world

Life and death unavoidable
As sure as Earth circles the Sun
Learn before you play the judge
Sentenced heretic, condemned
To fire

Monuments to atrocity, found in all religions
Stay preserved or swept away by fire
(swept away) by fire

Terrified of the emptiness
Face the fact we might be alone
For all sins you compromise
When no other logic will hold

The more we know the less to luck
See the wall of reason is strong
There can be peace in a mortal coil
Long before the answer is told

Frost forms, patterns
New birth from nothing
Shows that there is hope still to be found

Those who would dare to ask
“There must be something more?”
Look around to see all secrets revealed
No longer possible for just one man
To possess all knowledge
Even in a thousand lifetimes

To burn words
Is to snuff thought
To burn “The word”
Is to find freedom

An afternoon in a garden, like any other
Alone with a cult of one, the Empire of self
How many shades of light cloak this day?
Never a second chance to live this moment.

Be it thrash, death, old-school, prog or black metal, there is something for everyone. Expect wailing guitars, wailing screams and a pounding rhythm section, delivered by a four-man war of sound. Surely they can’t be serious? ... more
