2.	The River 04:29	lyrics	buy track
I can't remember when I died I’m floating in a mouldy stream Rotten pulp of emotion The demons of the past never yielding from my side Just changing shape from time to time The banks seem always near But I know they are just illusion And when I close my eyes I can smell my own decay Too slow to feel a movement But carrying me away Too slow for a direction Disturbing stagnancy Floating In a river cold and damned Forgotten origin I’m starving for the end Floating To this river I am tied Feels like eternity And I don’t remember when I died It perforates my existence Too much part of me to drown Perfidiously it keeps me alive And I see my own reflection From time to time Cold and dismal womb Protective symbiosis And after all those years I’ve learned to love my torturer Too slow to feel a movement But carrying me away Too slow for a direction Disturbing stagnancy Floating In a river cold and damned Forgotten origin I’m starving for the end Floating To this river I am tied Feels like eternity And I don’t remember when I died Too slow… But carrying me away Too slow… Disturbing stagnancy Floating In a river cold and damned Forgotten origin I’m starving for the end Floating To this river I am tied Feels like eternity And I don’t remember when I died
3.	Colossal Collapse 03:55	lyrics	buy track
A monument of pride Enthroned above the masses A god of gold and steel Machine divinity A lifeless king of yours Shepherd of the dead flocks Illusion of stability Is fading in the wind Built to last for aeons Predestined for the fall Titanic overgrowing Rooted in unsolid soil Built to rule forever But they built it way to high A predictable Colossal Collapse Monument of might Covered by corrosion What once was shining bright Now rust and scrap Slowly growing wracks Flaws in the structure Feet of clay On trembling ground Built to last for aeons Predestined for the fall Titanic overgrowing Rooted in unsolid soil Built to rule forever But they built it way to high A predictable Colossal Collapse Built to last for aeons Predestined for the fall Titanic overgrowing Rooted in unsolid soil Monument of downfall A symbol of decay Rebuild it from its ruins Just to see it fall again
4.	Vermocracy 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Feeding off your desires Gaining strength from your tragedies Down in the sewers of society We are the Vermin We are Vermocracy Another subject failing on the workbench No response to the poison pumped in its veins And it won’t decease Hope and fear as immunosuppressive Eternal circus is the sedative But the implants won’t integrate It wakes up At its disposal Reincarnation We are united in imperfection Our march like white noise from the underground Ever growing voices of shattered souls A roaring thunder of the deceived Purple pills sold in various wrappers The adept learned to swallow the illusion of choice This is all it needs Broken faces and hollow perfection Appreciate nothing in exchange for their voice They are raised to bleed We are united in imperfection Our march like white noise from the underground Ever growing voices of shattered souls A roaring thunder of the deceived It wakes up At its disposal Reincarnation Feeding off your desires Gaining strength from your tragedies Down in the sewers of society We are the Vermin We are Vermocracy We are the Vermin We are Vermocracy
5.	Fatal Exeedance 03:34	lyrics	buy track
A seed has grown deep in your soul The spawn of countless scars The whispers of your inner demons swelling to a roar You crush the hate It's opened wide Embrace the wake into the hate Fuck off - we crossed the Red line - floating away Fatal Exceedance - on our path There is no return You see dark shadows growing Flooding all your thought Inking your mind with hellish patterns As you slowly fade away Just crush the gate It's opened wide Embrace the wake Into the hate Fuck off - we crossed the Red line - floating away Fatal Exceedance - on our path There is no return And as we fall deeper into the void A maelstrom full of rage and anger And all the hate will fuel the stream Emotional inferno And all my strength and fury will feed the flame A seed has grown deep in your soul The spawn of countless scars Open the gate And embrace Your hate
6.	I'm Not Your Messiah 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Find myself in the middle of you Stigmatized as your long-yearned saviour What you see is no longer myself A projection of your desire Stunned I realise what I have done Raising a demon awaking your hope Bored of power sick of my throne Collective obedience out of control Your prayers fuel my aversion Hopeful faces beg for domination Intention and its perversion Digress from my wayward creation Your prayers fuel my aversion Hopeful faces beg for domination Intention and its perversion Digress from my wayward creation All started with some stories I told Unaltered carved in stone What I see is no longer myself My misanthropic remains Periodical prophecy well-known paradox Your worth decreased by your number I choke on your anguish your self-imposed pain Cut all the strings or keep living in vain Your prayers fuel my aversion Hopeful faces beg for domination Intention and its perversion Digress from my wayward creation Your prayers fuel my aversion Hopeful faces beg for domination Intention and its perversion Digress from my wayward creation Hear them chanting all day long Can someone mute the choir down See them standing in perfect line Can someone rouse the flock I’m Not Your Messiah Not the symbol of another failed revolution I won’t take you higher I’m not going to die for an army of slaves Hear them chanting all day long Can someone mute the choir down See them standing in perfect line Can someone rouse the flock I’m Not Your Messiah Not the symbol of another failed revolution I won’t take you higher I’m not going to die for an army of slaves
7.	On Toxic Wings 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Jump off from this world of pain And ascending to the skies Left all my burden far behind Outstretched arms to catch the up winds I don’t mind the storm to come On toxic wings I feel alive No regrets – no turning back The ground is cold and empty I’m heading for the only light above Tearing down the prison walls And reaching for the sun Even if I know (that) I will burn Fire pulsing in my veins Flame is growing in my heart I have been pushed way to far Accelerate towards the ceiling I don't mind my end will come A narcotic one-way ride My mind is expanding My soul will explode And I am too close to see My world is disordered My feelings declined I’m too close to see me falling Lifted up To the heights of lonely dying A fragile being The time has come The hour of the fading The hour of the fall My mind is expanding My soul will explode And I am too close to see My world is disordered My feelings declined I’m too close to see me falling
8.	The Tumor And The Flawless Skin 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Where once was a meaning There is the word The word is made for a purpose But if you look closer it’s not your own It infiltrates our innermost Cooperating with our demons It spreads itself like a Tumor And everyone’s impressed by its flawless skin You want to be part of something Only trying to get rid of the void Too ignorant and simple to see That the void is what you feed You want to be part of something To black out the fact that you’re null Too ignorant and simple to see That the void is what you need Where once was the thought There is a model Created by someone else War for a truth that is not your own Grids and bounds never questioned Everyone affirms your believes It spreads itself like a Tumor And everyone’s impressed by its flawless skin You want to be part of something Only trying to get rid of the void Too ignorant and simple to see That the void is what you feed You want to be part of something To black out the fact that you’re null Too ignorant and simple to see That the void is what you need Where once was a reason There is the void It spreads itself like a Tumor And everyone’s impressed by its flawless skin Pre-assembled validation For pre-assembled view Destructive human nature Craving for a clue Standardise my emotion Equalize my thoughts Classify my failure Well that’s what you’ve been taught Criticise my appearance Agonise my soul Come put your grid upon me Won’t end up in your row Standardise my emotion Equalize my thoughts Classify my failure Well that’s what you’ve been taught Criticise my appearance Agonise my soul Come put your grid upon me Won’t end up in your row Pre-assembled validation For pre-assembled view Where once was a reason There is the void It spreads itself like a Tumor And everyone’s impressed by its flawless skin
9.	Paradise Dystopia 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Stumbling through reborn wilderness Overgrown graves of an ill-born society Concrete bones of fallen giants Rusty remains of titans long gone I speak to the spirits of solitude I talk to the demons of emptiness I dance with the ghosts My only companions In ruins that once were utopia I dance with the ghosts My only companions In ruins that once were utopia Embracing the healing loneliness Death is just another one's growing Embedding my roots in abandoned earth And spreading my branches wide The memory of empires fading The echoes of fall and decline I walk on the paths that feet never touched Cleansed after cathartic storms
