this might be the best harmonydriven ,kind of progressive rock/metal album of the last 10 years.....minimum.
the songwriting is excellent and the melodies are haunting and beautiful.....
there is a kind of addictive magic to it that makes me listen to it multiple times a day.
i hope more people will realize and understand how good this album is
thanx a lot guys for this true masterpiece

You're the disturbance of my sleep
the cold waking sweat I cannot beat
your ghost is never too far... no
In the back of your mind
you probably have redesigned
a whole new version of yourself
You can beg for forgiveness of the lost years
and traipse your way just to be here
you can't make amends this time
When this lost soul suddenly reappears
and traipses its way just to be here
you can't make amends
you won't make amends
So roll up and you'll see
the tether will break for this absentee
as you stand and proclaim your loss
so, in the back of your mind
you probably have redesigned
that whole new version of yourself
(knowing you)
You can beg for forgiveness of the lost years
and traipse your way just to be here
you can't make amends this time
When this lost soul suddenly reappears
and traipses its way just to be here
you can't make amends
you won't make amends now
So take your plight
just take your plight back

Do you recognise these constant flaws?
when you obtain your higher ground
Gazing down from your ivory tower
where you can ignore every sight and sound
Nothing but a spectacle to all but yourself
In the face of it all
You can't see just how privileged you are
to witness the light of our dying star
When we're not even relics
relics (relics)
We witness your complacency
like a fly, just so unaware of the world in which you feed
but still you’re gazing down from your ivory tower
where you can ignore every sight and sound
In the face of it all
You can't see just how privileged you are
to witness the light of our dying star
When we're not even relics
relics (relics)
We're only finite
under starlight
'lest we forget'
This is no final plea
and I know you'll never see
we're just here on our own

Anthropocene pt. I
02:14
|

|
Here we lie
Here we lie
He we lie
in our anthropocene
Would it kill to ask why
that unrest is all that binds
with no way out now
So buckle up, buckle up
hold on tight
we're strapped without a lifeline
A new age is set
it was imminent
to build is to destroy
it's who we are
So there'll be no trophies, no awards
or tributes to our time
in time
Here we lie
Here we lie
He we lie
in our anthropocene

Anthropocene pt. II
02:00

We can't segregate
just pull together
so take your pain and run
leave it behind with every step
I spit these words loud
repeat after me...
..."I am free"
and I am free

Viking Blood
04:13
|
|||
|
I’ll take your fucking gold
and claim what is mine tonight
now watch the drama unfold
as I set sail
You'll do just as you're told
while I chose what to ignite
and weep as you watch it glow
your tragic tale
And when all is said and done
you were far from safe
far from safe (far from safe)
and when I destroy lives
it's just in this Viking blood
You can save the apologies
when all your deeds are done
you are no match for this cold
nordic soul
Now doing just as you’re told
whilst giving up the fight
and weak from the begging show
worn and frail
And when all is said and done
you were far from safe
far from safe (far from safe)
and when I destroy lives
it's just in this Viking blood

Paradigm Ritual
03:19
|
|||
|
It's gone too far
when the side you take
is the stance that shapes
the hill that you will die on
in your paradigm ritual
(yeah)
The truth distorts
perceptions of your hemisphere
all whilst preaching your only belief
in your paradigm ritual
So throw your old ideals away
in these times we either fall or change (now)
but with this slow crawl
we're a far cry from winning the race
winning this race
In your paradigm ritual x2

White Flag
03:19
|

This is the shape of things to come
will you bare your cross when all is finally lost
and it's far too late for...
the waving of the white flag, white flag
Bruised from the inside out purposely
at the cost of our own mercy
a death hex to all, get on your knees (knees)
as we await the...
Shape of things to come
will you bare your cross when all is finally lost
and it's far too late for...
the waving of the white flag, white flag
A desecrated city suddenly magnified
from afar we'd block it out like the sun
but there's still time to watch it burn away
This is the shape of things to come
will you bare your cross when all is finally lost
and it's far too late for...
the waving of the white flag, white flag

Þingvellir
04:51

The sights aren't all what they seem
we're set to believe all that we see
and your beauty escaped me
like leaving the Icelandic sea
I'll wear you down in time
like the rocks you wear around your neckline
and in fear of being oh so blind
take my hand, we can walk this line
The sights aren't all what they seem
we're set to believe all that we see
and your beauty escaped me
like leaving the Icelandic sea
In a landscape so divine
you fear its beauty will outshine
all those who graced its path
with its vast expanse of time
I wish you could see
I wish you could see
But our eye will no longer meet

Sharks
03:38
|

Glorify your sense of worth here
ignore the signs in fear
So justify your purpose and your path
to mask how you appear
This city aches with those born to serve
that live to decay
Could you take a hint and read between the lines
or follow and obey?
Glorify your sense of worth here
ignore the signs in fear
So justify your purpose and your path
to mask how you appear
Drain the life and the soul
you drain my life and my soul
Accept the bait when you're told
and these sharks will swallow you...

The Brave
03:37

The brave, still trapped in here
waiting for the night to near
inside your cave you call your home
you sit and wait for your brittle bones
to carry you away
You fear what you don't know
don't know
and just steer clear
(clear)
The brave alleviates the years
with the bottle that brought her here
Still inside the cave you call your home
you sit and pray for your brittle bones
to carry you far away
You fear what you don't know
don't know
and just steer clear
(x2)
So who will save
who will save
who will save
who will save you?
