A Peaceful Place

Waiting for a savior
Hiding from the falling bombs
Hoping for salvation
Aching from the loss of hope
A home that's left in ruins
A city filled with bodies
Why do I have to endure
This torturous existence
Turn what's remained to a peaceful new place
And find a new reason to dream and to start over
Toxic gasses surround the atmosphere
Lethal explosions spread eternal fear
Terror breeds more hatred
Hatred fills the victim's souls
Ending what they've started
This is the answer to it all
Turn what's remained to a peaceful new place
And find a new reason to dream and to start over
Turn what's remained to a peaceful new place
Rebuild from the ashes all the hope that was lost
Turn what's remained to a peaceful new place
And find a new reason to dream and to start life again

Resurgence

Climb this huge mountain ahead
The hardships I will face again
I'll give it my all till the end
Persistence is now my best friend
Feels like going through hell
Even if I fail
I will leave behind a trail
And repeat again
The process
And if I fall again
I'll rise up and find my inner strength
I know I'll find a way
Until I see a brighter day
Break out of this rigid shell
My fate I cannot foretell
But I know with certainty
Trying hard will get me there
I will be victorious/ triumphant
Even if I fail
I will leave behind a trail
And repeat again
The process
And if I fall again
I'll rise up and find my inner strength
I know I'll find a way
Until I see a brighter day

Generation Z
05:05

There were times when the people disapproved of the system
They would stand up and try to resist being used by elite men
Nowadays when they're made to comply against their own will
They will cry and whine 'I'm oppressed, don't you care about how I feel'
Special snowflake syndrome is what has become of the new generation
Love it or hate it, if you wanna change it now go back and take it,
time to create now the liberation haven
Wanna move on now, instead of complaining do something about it
time to become one with things that really matter
Love it or hate it, if you wanna change it go back and reclaim it
time to create now the liberation haven
Sense of entitlement fills the hearts of new blood
When mere words offend them you know it's fucked
How about embracing things that don't defy logic
And not emotionally react to every topic
Advance or stay a wimp
Love it or hate it, if you wanna change it now go back and take it,
time to create now the liberation haven
Wanna move on now, instead of complaining do something about it
time to become one with things that really matter
Love it or hate it, if you wanna change it go back and reclaim it
time to create now the liberation haven

Illusory

Faith that blinds all masses of followers
The cycle repeats over and over
Halts and delays progress of mankind
Time to expand, our destiny ensures that
we'll complete our
Vision that all false gods will cease to exist
Reveal now how we were brought to life
Merged with nations it rules with corruption
Choose carefully what you will follow
Abandon all of these untrue foolish declarations
The demagogues will fall as we conceive our purpose
and achieve our
Vision that all false gods will cease to exist
Reveal now how we were brought to life
Envision that all false gods will cease to exist
And make it our mission to understand the truth
Envision that all false gods will cease to exist
Reveal now how we were brought to life
Envision that all false gods will cease to exist
And make it our mission to understand the truth

The Path
06:44

Revelation of desperation flowing through my head
Aberration of emotions so overwhelming that they hurt
An equation that is always, always meant to fail
I must break free find the essence that will spark my inner flame
Find the Path crush every sense of fear
Fly me there, don't leave me here
What's the reason of a mind that fails to see what's real
How could you just keep ignoring what you felt was true
Trying to fool your own self that this is what you wanna do
Undermined all the abilities you had possessed
Change your target and move forward or fail and have yourself to blame
Find the Path crush every sense of fear
Fly me there, don't leave me here
What's the reason of a mind that fails to see what's real
Is this what is meant to be
The resolution of a choice
That barely grasps the idea of reality
To point out what is meant to be
So that is that and now it's time to embrace
The guidance from within
That directs me to the one thing
That gives rejoice
Find the Path crush every sense of fear
Take me far away from here
The day has come to finally see what's dark and what is real

Terra
06:30
|

|
A endless wasteland of foreign defilement
Is what this world will become after centuries of destruction
A desolate asteroid that's just wandering into space
Strange and unfamiliar ways that oppose our nature
What do we expect of our race and keep on polluting the atmosphere
Evolved through the centuries only to die by our own hand and greed
But the earth will gradually find the road to final redemption
As we dissappear from this world
We give time for new life to grow
The earth adapts to every single change
Even if we destroy our own race
One breath before death spreads to sky, soil and ocean
When we take away from ourselves the ability to advance through the ages
Gone are days we roam this planet as the leaders
As the very last one of us decomposes forever
Change or face the consequences
Quell what binds you to extinction
Change or face the consequences
Quell what binds you to mass extinction
As we dissappear from this world
We give time for new life to grow
The earth adapts to every single change
Even if we destroy our own race
While we drift away
Earth will find a way
While we drift away
Earth will find a way

Treacherous
04:57

Love dead all that remains are vacant thoughts
You leave a mark on my heart and then you're gone
We were so close it seemed too good to be true
Turns out my doubts were right as you turned to smoke
Merciless, relentless creature feast on pain and the loss
I will not give in, run, hide in your disguise
Pretend you care to take from me all that I have
Repent, your actions won't affect me anymore
Merciless, relentless creature feast on pain and the loss
I will not give in, run, hide in your disguise
Drain its soul, core and existence
Merciless, relentless creature feast on pain and the loss
I will not give in, run, hide in your disguise
You have ceased to exist in my thoughts and my mind

Departure

Years go by so fast that it feels like
it was yesterday that you were
brought into this world but here we are now
I am fading 'till I'll
Leave this world but live within you
Please understand these things for me
Keep building what we started
And be the pillar of our family
And be true to yourself
I know it's hard to take in my departure
But please try to stand strong
Be there for your children
As I were there for you even if I
Leave this world but live within you
Please understand these things for me
Keep building what we started
And be the pillar of our family
And be true to yourself
Hold on to the memories
Cherish every moment that you've spent with me
Don't grieve forever my loss
Carry on our legacy
And when I pass on you will take my place
I know it's hard but I believe in you my son
Leave this world but live within you
Please understand these things for me
Keep building what we started
And be the pillar of our family
And be true to yourself
