Violent Design
04:35

A sunbeam lightens up your bed, again you burst into tears
This situation feels resolute, prevent it to become
You seek to remember those glorious days, before your life was stolen away
I made you miss those glorious days, before you stole my golden life away
Your sould is paved with cowardliness
All these broken promises
Hear the trumpets' revenge, hear them
These thoughts will torment you and drag you around in the gutter
Faces will make your life heartless tonight
I will follow you, follow through
So put hatred aside to discovery
Ask to stroke your face and break away
Tears and abuse
Hate follows you around, follows you around
Hate follows you around, follows you around
I will follow you, follow through, I choose
Tangled your own two feet
And tossed you to one another
Forced to live in your violent design
Hollow, you sit in the corner dismissed
Hollow, you sit in the corner dismissed
You will dream of it, dream of it
This shaded form of recovery
Can't find a place to define
Take it off to wear yourself
I will follow you, follow through
So put hatred aside to discovery
Ask to stroke your face and break away
Tears and abuse
Hate follows you around, follows you around
Hate follows you around, follows you around
I will follow you, follow through, I choose

Drowning Light
04:05
|

|
Denial pushes life aside, the lying appears
The violence wakes up and life itself collapses
How, how long
Tell me, what do I know, what do I see, sensing my defeat
Your fragment poisoned, all my needs, still I am unable to reach
There is nothing underneath it, below
Reluctantly all eyes are closed, surrounded by the dead tongues' worst home
Tell me now, tell me, tell me, what do I feel?
They will only speak of your drowning light
Tell me what do I need, what do I feel, what do I see?
Decisions tumbling in my blood
Decision, confession, make propositions
Boredom is the decision, and a confession, voices make proposition
Life was so full of joy and context, now it's disappeared
Maybe I strolled right into it, mistakes do often occur
There is nothing underneath it, below
Reluctantly all eyes are closed, surrounded by the dead tongues' worst home
Tell me now, tell me, tell me, what do I feel?
They will only speak of your drowning light
Tell me what do I need, what do I feel, what do I see?
Decisions tumbling in my blood

Canaille

We are the weight and the useless
We count hours instead of days
Lucid dreaming is the only path, only serene path
We were not build to be useless
We were not made to be others' trash
Participation is given, not to be, not to be forced
We scream out our lungs,
a desirable wish
These are the words, the words,
trembling hands
Dirty water flumes down our faces
These are the words, words, trembling hands
Electric minds are a fusion
Assume characters will last
Humanoid perception, pills are,
pills are stacked
Not just collateral damage
No, we are here, standing tall
Let the stories be changed,
not all are, not all are the same
We scream out our lungs,
a desirable, desirable wish
These are the words,
the words trembling hands
Dirty water flumes down our faces
These are the words,
the words trembling hands
We, we were meant to control the self
Dirty water flumes down our faces
These are the words,
the words trembling hands

Black Swan
05:10
|

Breathing in all this waste
Luck was stolen away
Slowly I am feeling oh so numb
Black Swan
As I walk barren fields a black swan does appear
Petrified, I captured just a bit too late
Lost way, you are condemned
Protested but you guided
Thoughts were only false freedom
A new light to existence, a new day arisen
A living hell in my head
Finally, a moment to myself
I need it to find some sense
Moments like this changes ones priorities
Capturing your will, just a bit too late
Black Swan
Thoughts were only false freedom
A new light to existence, a new day arisen
A living hell in my head
Finally, a moment to myself
I need it to find sense
A path of solace, new adventures laid to rest
Harmony shown in gratitude, last breath
Body sighs from relief, sinuous thinking freed
A farewell, a last serenade, farewell
Eyes too shivered to see, skin on skin, againg leaves
Among us, smell, thoughts, life will be
Black Swan

Nocturnal
04:37
|

|
In this contructed light
So cynical, drifting apart
A whole population too scared to move
Marked by complexity and full of darkness
Nocturnal wanderings
Bricks are stacked, enclosed in this silence, silence
Stars are nowhere to be found in this silence, silence
Only place we are free, free from the constructed life
In the deep, we descend somehow
I let the silence, silence bring me
Hold your breath for a minute now
Don't let the silence bring you down
In this constructed light
I let the silence bring me down
Don't let the silence bring you down
In the deep, we descend somehow
I let the silence bring me down
Hold your breath for a minute now
Don't let the silence bring you down

Get Rid Of The Walls
04:30
|

Conquer every thought
Define yourself by what you love
Lack of consequence
Longing drives the fall
I know, I know that you are here right with them
This soulless city gasps
I know, I know that you are here right with them
Cautious with respect
Why feel remorse, when there is nothing else
Why feel remores, when there is nothing else to do
Completely caught off guard
Duplicating thoughts and lies
A blank slate divides
Insincere, it might appear
I know, I know that you are here right with them
This soulless city gasps
I know, I know that you are here right with them
Cautious with respect
Why feel remorse, when there is nothing else
Why feel remores, when there is nothing else to do
Encounter living, fearful driven, when there is nothing else
Why feel remorse?
Get rid of the walls
Get rid of the smile in a corridor
It's water under bridges, took me so long
Proposition? No, it's the result
Why feel remorse, when there is nothing else
Why feel remores, when there is nothing else to do
Encounter living, fearful driven, when there is nothing else
Why feel remorse?
I cannot believe this thing

Wilderness
05:23

And as I open up my eyes, thoughts will not leave
I realize I'm here again, caught and motionless
And as I open up my eyes, thoughts will not leave
I realize I'm here again, caught and motionless
Heading out to the sea, just to free my mind
I cannot succeed, where is my out?
The body receiving while the mind is deceiving
Taking a whole life to build up trust, for another life
In the wilderness we are, we are the weakest
Before us no one will witness
Heading out to the sea, just to free my mind
I cannot succeed, where is my out?
Can't push away
I can't succeed on the road we know, the road we know
I can't succeed on the road we know, the road we know
Heading out to the sea, just to free my mind
I cannot succeed, where is my out?
I can't succeed on the road we know, the road we know
And as I open up my eyes, thoughts will not leave
I realize I'm here again, caught and motionless
And as I open up my eyes, thoughts will not leave
I realize I'm here again, caught and motionless
Heading out to the sea, just to free my mind
I cannot succeed, where is my out?

Soulless City
04:04
|
|||
|
This, this state of mind is sickening, cuffed in expectation
Nights were like a sporadic fever, mornings didn't exist
But when you look away, look away to find another truth
Life acts, switch place
I see that you look away to find another truth in me, truth in me
We are in this sunken place where it's so hard to find a breach
Selfish thinking lasts, a bridge to the forsaken land
I see that you look away to find another truth in me, truth in me
I depend on you, do not turn your cheek
Soulless city falls, a forceful life emerges
Wouldn't release me, wouldn't release yourself
It's a scorn to my life, avoid all entanglements
Finish line, finish life, never quite right, never so bright
No way, no way, no way, no way
I see that you look away to find another truth in me, truth in me

Coloured Bones

It's over, it's over
Giving up, giving in
I fed my enemies
who burned and penetrated my skin
Giving up, giving in
Shoulder to shoulder
Standing tall, leave no one
Your world must not be ruined
Plead for your life
Standing tall, leave no one
If there is no way and no place
Create one, create one
Take life out of its prison
and raise you voice
Not a sin, draw a line
Too precious to undergo others' denial
Not a sin, draw a line
If there is no way and no place
Create one, create one
Take life out of its prison
and raise you voice
Let's make them see again
Let's make them see through hate
Let memories retreat and questions relieve
We keep fighting
If there is no way and no place
Create one, create one
Take life out of its prison
and raise you voice

Infatuated

Thoughts they are running wild
Who'll remember me now?
Nails scratching to be found
Who'll remember me now?
Who'll remember me now?
Who'll remember?
I dream eyes are vanished, turning manic
Unforgiven waste of time
Have I created, infatuated
There is no need to be crowned
I dream eyes are vanished
Turning manic
Unforgiven waste of time

Actual NEXT LEVEL SHIT. Not just forward thinking but the legit future of music. Something along the lines of Periphery smashing into Leprous while diddling Polyphia. Sign me up! No clue how this has been under the radar for so long especially considering I’ve had my eye on the many heavy and amazing German acts for years. Though it is pretty exciting I get to go through this discography now.
