The Chosen Ones (Demo)
06:15
|
|||
Take my remedy
Let me ease the pain
Relieve your suffering
Believe the things you say
Words from your trap, the truth will not portray
Waiting now for skies to clear
Distant and cold
Searching for the grand design
Far and wide
Close and here
What is this I see?
Punish the meek
With their own thoughts enslaved
Wrapped around a simple plan
I'll have you eating from this empty grave
Analyze the universe
Distant and cold
Scrutinize this dismal world
Far and wide
Close and here
Here we are the chosen ones
All we take is your disgrace
Your disgrace
(Solo: Kragen)
(Solo: Kragen)
(Solo: Vince)
Waiting now for skies to clear
Distant and cold
Searching for the grand design
Far and wide
Close and here
Here we are the chosen ones
All we take is your disgrace
Here the unfamiliar stray
To feed on all soulless prey
Prey

Into Oblivion (Demo)
04:57
|
|||
Born, we are raised in fear
Now kneel to our reign
Never will we capitulate
We'll die by fire
The battle, saturated fields
Success is imminent
Your weakness, how it makes you bleed
We'll drive you under
Crossing into retribution
Never give in, recalling sin
Into oblivion
New paths unfold
Blood skies, make their bodies flow
No kindness with pain
All senses are active
Impose our glory
Engage the large array
Circulate the misery
Force feed our constant will
To change the story
Sending a message of reason
Never give in, recalling sin
Into oblivion
New paths unfold
(Solo: Kragen)
The ghosts of past reliance
Defiance of old designs
Throw them away
A new course of action
The ancient, corroded sphere
Elastic waves of tears
Demonic visions
Enough of this persistency
Eternal death shall placate
Spend eternity to think and feel
Our own emotions
Breaking the walls of confusion
Never give in, recalling sin
Into oblivion
New paths unfold
New paths unfold

Cynic Dreams (Demo)
07:02
|
|||
If you feel your emotions entwined
So alone and betrayed
Rise tall and demand stars aligned
Past leaden skies
This war is frayed
Our futile resolve
All these prophets predicted this meager take
Bend your soul
Believe not what leads you astray
Then behold
The power that strengthens
Our last widespread decay
Never soon to be simply let by
Let's assume this mockery
My will is as still as your lies
Of infamy
I won't regret
The choices I made
It will serve as another reminder
Bend your soul
Believe not what leads you astray
Then behold
The power that crushes
Your final, silent, cynic dreams
(Solo: Kragen)
(Solo: Vince)
Tearing the fabric of time
Insomnic thread
Reaching the edge of the line
Now another day
(Solo: Vince)
(Solo: Kragen)
Now awaken, our conscience is one
We begin this strategy
In the end it will render you numb
Not what it seems
Drenched in new life
The quiet remains
Population control, we assimilate
Bend your soul
Believe not what leads you astray
Then behold
The power that crushes
Your final, silent, cynic dreams
(Solo: Vince)

4. |
||||
Time can only pass you by
Burying you alive
Passions found wither away in kind
Suffocate this bare alliance
Radical points of view
Changing with the winds of arrogance
Don't mesmerize me
Never deceive me
Bearing the weight of the past
What is it for?
A revolving contradiction
Impose the truth on me
Carry this frame of mind
Better to find
The ageless heart of memory
Into infinity
(Solo: Kragen)
Twisting, turning torment
Preaching a perfect world
Emissaries of perplexion
Patronize the impulsive soul
Zealous, vagrant scorn
Painting bliss with pure intolerance
Don't mesmerize me
Never deceive me
Free to be but not to believe
And it's you I blame
The destroyer of redemption
Impose the truth on me
Carry this frame of mind
Better to find
The ageless heart of memory
Into infinity
(Solo: Kragen)
Scorch
Force
Drain
It's cauterizing
Mourn
Hate
Feed
Emotions flying high
(Solo: Kirk)
(Solo: Vince)
The restful sleep
Encroaching on the skyline

Heart Machine (Demo)
04:22
|

Encoded lines of energy
No limitation of technology
Create a shell to house the soul
Emotion engine reigns a being whole
Once again
Breathing to
Transcend
Pre-evolved
Heart Machine
Re-absolved
Heart Machine
Mechanic feeling synergy
Digitizing new biology
Inspiration fusion mold
Manufactured intellect behold
Once again
Breathing to
Transcend
Pre-evolved
Heart Machine
Re-absolved
Heart Machine
(Solo: Kragen)
Pre-evolved

Half Life (Demo)
05:19
|
|||
REVEALED THESE THOUGHTS UNCLEAR AND DEEP SCARS AGAIN
I WAIT, BUT NO HOPE
CONCEALED THESE FEELINGS UNDER FACADE, PRETEND
MY FATE, TRY TO COPE
LOST MY YOUTH
NOW DISGUISE
THIS FALSE TRUTH
CONSUMED BY DARKNESS SPAWNED FROM A CHOICE NOT MADE
WITH WRATH I’M CONFINED
PRESUMED CONTENTMENT, DIFFERENT IDEALS BETRAYED
MY PATH NOW DEFINED
LOST MY YOUTH
NOW DESPISE
THIS DARK TRUTH
HALF LIFE
FORCED INTO SPLIT TIME, RESORT TO
HALF LIFE
ASCEND TO SUBLIME, REBUILD THIS…
BEREFT THESE YEARS YET THE PAST CANNOT BE RELIVED
I MEND, HEAL THIS PAIN
ACCEPT THIS DESTINY BUT CANNOT FORGIVE
TRANSCEND MY DISDAIN
LOST MY YOUTH
NOW DEVISE
THIS NEW TRUTH
HALF LIFE
FORCED INTO SPLIT TIME, RESORT TO
HALF LIFE
ASCEND TO SUBLIME, REBUILD THIS LIFE

Serpent (Demo)

ETHEREAL GAZE, A WATCHER OVER YOU
ETERNAL SOUL, THE PROPHET CRIES
‘YOU’LL SEVER IN TWO’
RETRIBUTION FOR THE SEVENTH SEAL
A SLITHERED GAIT ENTRANCES ALL
THE TIME OF FINALITY
THE SERPENT AWAITS, FOURTH OF MACCABEES
PIOUS FRAUD, BLOOD OF INFAMY
THE SERPENT HE TAKES, YOUR THOUGHTS BY BREEZE
REPENT, NUCLEATE, YOU ARE HE
TRANSGRESS CONFORMITY, SINS PREORDAINED
THE SKEPTIC COLD, THE PROCTOR LIES
THE MAD OF THIS WORLD
COMPOUND DUALITY
IMPOSE YOUR WIZARDRY… THE NIMBLE UNFURLS
THE SERPENT HE WAITS, FOURTH OF MACCABEES
PIOUS FRAUD, FLESH OF INFAMY
THE SERPENT HE RAPES, YOUR THOUGHTS AT EASE
REPENT, NUCLEATE, YOU ARE HE
REGRETS, FOOTFALLS ECHO IN THE MEMORY
SIGNS, THE PATH TO ALL THAT IS IDEOLOGY
WHY LEVEL DOWNWARD AND PRAISE THAT AS COMMON SENSE
RETURN TO GREATNESS AND LIVE LIFE WITHOUT PRETENSE
THE SERPENT HE WAITS, FOURTH OF MACCABEES
PIOUS FRAUD, THE FLESH OF INFAMY
THE SERPENT HE RAPES, YOUR THOUGHTS AT EASE
REPENT, NUCLEATE, YOU ARE…

Devotion (Demo)
05:08
|
|||
Say my name
Now try in vain
Welcome the swarm
Spirit forlorn
Violent capture
Haunting you
Far from heaven
Faith untrue
Taste my soul, faint
Change this child’s shape
Reminds me
Devotion
(Solo: Kragen)
Keep that cross
Sign of loss
Led by torture
Crazed sky
Blame my mother
Failed cry
Take thy strength, rape
Change this blind faith
Reminds me
Devotion
(Solo: Kragen)
(Solo: Vince)
Craving death
My last breath
He has power
He I crave
Take me father
Now I’m saved

These worlds
All for you to seize
Countless plains
A place for you to breed
Europa
The moon you shall not touch
Growing lifeforce
A diamond in the rough
Transcendent velocity
(In) which we spread idolatry
(Solo: Kragen)
Monolith
Symbolize the truth
God is this?
Another sun to prove
Transcendent velocity
(In) which we spread idolatry

THE WAR HAS MADE THIS
A BROKEN NATION
DEFY, AMPLIFY
FEEL
MY MIND IN MOTION
SEE
SEE MY VOICE
LIFE DESTROY
TAKE WATER LIKE A DRUG

THE WAR HAS MADE THEM
SUCH A DAMNATION

FEEL
MY MIND IN MOTION

Synthespian (Demo)
03:47
|
|||
I am too real
I assume all of your dreams come true
The anger you feel
Is so common to you
You are all the same
I’m a new miracle
Never stop me
(Solo: Kragen)
I am the new generation
Synthespian my name
Bound to perfection
Control I sustain
Control I sustain
Calling out my name
In your eyes, powerful
Always beneath me

Shine (Demo)

LIVES MADE OF STONE
THEY DO WHAT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND
NO MIND OF THEIR OWN
ONLY THE INSTINCTS REMAIN
FEEL THE SUN
SHINE ON ONE

SHINE
PEOPLE AWAKE
FILL YOUR HEARTS, REGAIN YOUR DREAMS
MAKE NO MISTAKE
WHAT YOU BELIEVE MIGHT NOT BE
FEEL THE SUN
SHINE ON ONE
FEEL THE SUN
SHINE

Seed (Demo)
04:40
|
|||
Learning to fly in skies
That fail to persuade my soul
Has shattered my mind
So helpless I bleed
Emptied nest of creativity
The silence no longer my friend
Or my seed
Found myself holding on
To something that was so untrue
Trying to make up for all
That was gone
Reversing time and fighting the tide
Impregnating fate with my pride
I will not compromise
(Solo: Kragen)

Dead of Jericho (Demo)
06:56
|
|||
SEASONS WILL FOLLOW
THE DEATH OF THE LAND
GOVERNED BY SPIRITS
THE SONS OF ABRAHAM
LET THE WIND BLOW
LET IT BEGIN
THE END OF THE NEW WORLD
THE SOURCE OF ALL SIN
REJOICE FOR THE ONES TO COME
WE MUST LET THEM GO
REJOICE FOR THE ONE TO LEAD
THE DEAD OF JERICHO
ALL WHO CONDEMN US
LET YOU BE GONE
FOR WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN
MUST ALWAYS BE DONE
THE PATH TO SALVATION
THE REASON FOR LIFE
IN DEATH WE HAVE FOUND IT
FOR DEATH WE MUST FIGHT
REJOICE FOR THE ONES TO COME
WE MUST LET THEM GO
REJOICE FOR THE ONE TO LEAD
THE DEAD OF JERICHO
AND THE WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN
AND THE DEAD PEACE HAVE FOUND
