Do you feel the power of the steel? All its weight appears to be real Sitting next to death and pulling strings Never know what next morning brings Overcome Your gut feeling Turn around Hide misgiving Fear becomes part of the drill Afraid to die and afraid to kill Lay actors are the embodiment Of this theatre of bedevilment Overcome Your gut feeling Turn around Hide misgiving Never return Return nowhere Nowhere Overcome Your gut feeling Turn around Hide misgiving
2.
There is no victory against this enemy We trip into certain decay Cold and obscured, our gods won’t be listening There will be no need to pray Under the banner Of cataclysmic defeat Under the banner Of cruel death and self-deceit On we ride, void inside, never surrender A vacant stare in our eyes Spineless and fearless, in shining armor Callous and fierce, we arise Under the banner Of cataclysmic defeat Under the banner Of cruel death and self-deceit In this whirl of consciousness We besiege our incapacity To conceive the stark emptiness The void of values and morality Cast off the veil of indifference and see The life beyond orthodoxy Fear of rejection promotes the defection Of dreams towards profanity Under the banner Of cataclysmic defeat Under the banner Of cruel death and self-deceit

Kassandra 06:31
Bona fide and in blest sleep Through your reflection runs a crack The smile is fake, the crack runs deep The noose is tightening around your neck In your guts you feel, this wound will never heal A portent of the coming horror Fear is what you fear As doom is crawling near Will you see the light tomorrow? Read between the lines Unmask all their lies Kassandra Watch it fall apart Truth will come down hard Kassandra It’s not a matter of belief She has foreseen the fall of Troy All idols pass and gods deceive A maelstrom you cannot avoid In your guts you feel, this leak will never seal A preview of decay and sorrow Revenge close on your heels From this you will not steal Night will come and death will follow Living in the sun Things seem to be fine All machines full speed ahead Stifle doubt, flee the dread Read between the lines Unmask all their lies Kassandra Watch it fall apart Truth will come down hard Kassandra Say what else you’ve seen Say who else it’s been Kassandra To whom mankind will turn And who will hang and burn Kassandra

A vertiginous glimpse Into the grave A wasteland lies before us The kingdom of greedy crows No comfort in looking back No help from old solemn vows Lost opportunities burn In premonition of dread An hourglass you can’t turn The only chance that you had Vanishing years Drown in tears By what has become Vanishing years Choking fears Of what is to come Vanishing years Innocence sears The ceremonial lament Vanishing years Like piercing spears Herald the inherent descent Cold suffering Obfuscates everything Vanishing years Innocence sears Vanishing years Like piercing spears A morbid vision unveils The inescapable fate

Meteorite 04:36
At daggers drawn Enters the dawn Savage awakening Death drawing near In the unknown Yet to be shown Awaits our reckoning Festering fear It will strike While we sleep Like the lash Of the whip Fate Coming undone Angst Devours the sun We were condemned To conquering the land By our own instinct The untamed beast It turned out to be A treacherous key When we go extinct In the final feast It will strike While we sleep Like the lash Of the whip Fate Coming undone Angst Devours the sun Unaware of time and space Drifting on through nothingness Passing worlds one by one Bringing doom to their sun A black fire burning bright It's the end of every light Every hope buried deep No more harvest left to reap
6.
At the crossroads of uncertainty Hear the verdict of eternity So what is in this life for me? Blacken my heart Sharpen my mind Got blades to grind Upon first sight of fading light Until my confidence sleeps tight Awaits the patient night I bide and hold back the rash words Clench my teeth ‘til I draw black swords Cold words Black swords Every which way cold death drums the beat Deafening bell signal of forfeit Now there's nothing left inside of me I blackened my heart And sharpened my mind Fury is blind No more afraid to kill the light Nourished by anger-driven blight Ascends the ravening night The fray drowns out my hollow words The time has come to draw black swords Black words Cold swords Upon first sight of fading light Until my confidence sleeps tight Awaits the patient night I bide and hold back the rash words Clench my teeth ‘til I draw black swords Cold words Black swords
7.
Pervasive gravity Hunch of calamity A permanent display of pain Dazed sensitivity Insensibility Carrying heavy storm A mind to erupt upon With force Despair When sanity flows down the walls Beware The echo of Kassandra's call Resignate You resignate As you settle in madness Evasive company Blench sociality A craven self-defeating fence Lack of resilience Demolished confidence Despair When sanity flows down the walls Beware The echo of Kassandra's call Deviate You deviate As you settle in madness Severing from inside Unable to modify The trend Despair When sanity flows down the walls Beware The echo of Kassandra's call Segregate Degenerate As you settle in madness Settle in madness
8.
Hold me tight, hold me tight Hold me tight while I’m losing ground The scars forfeited all their pain Some hollowness engulfed the things I see The scars forfeited all their pain As hollow as the things I see Beyond the grace of god Without a trace of hope I design new shapes of void Hold me tight, hold me tight Hold me tight while I’m losing ground Blank it out, blank it out Bring this night to a close I took a fancy to my woe A latitude that’s cutting all my ties I took a fancy to my woe I'm cutting all my ties Beyond the grace of god Without a trace of hope I design new shapes of void
