syrdon This song needs an EPIC video! Favorite track: The Motives of Tied Hands.

slave-1 Getting strong Slaves On Dope vibes from the blasting drums and vocal arrangements on the first couple of tracks. Plus, and I don’t know if that’s just the “Swedish” production, but reminds me of old northern European Industrial Thrash/HC veterans of the late 90s/early 2000s, like Lost Souls and Face Down. Favorite track: Like Facts to the Slaughter.

Save me from this life you gave me Take me down And take it all from me You are as random as fate Exist in me With all the strength to fill me You are the hell that's within You are my world But I don't want you to be How do I break free From your hold on me I am your warm embrace Won't I feel it I am your sheltered space Won't I see it I know you want to save me now Right now From the darkness all around me This is my tortured fate Hold me down And take it all from me You leave me nothing again Ingrain my life With all the pain and suffer We are just stuck in the end Create in vain With all the hopes to kill me Or you'll just keep me alive I want you too I only hope I'm lying This is a bad state of mind You are my world But I don't want you to be How do I break free From your hold on me I am your warm embrace Won't I feel it I am your sheltered space Won't I see it I know you want to save me now Right now From the darkness all around me This is my tortured fate The lives of this place Are full of disgrace And I point the finger at you They have been choked Generations soaked In a fortune of blood The lives of this place Are full of disgrace And I point the finger at you They have been choked Generations soaked In a fortune of blood The lives of this place Are full of disgrace And I point the finger at you The lives of this place Are full of disgrace And I point the finger at you I am your warm embrace Won't I feel it I am your sheltered space Won't I see it I know you want to save me now Right now From the darkness all around me This is my tortured fate You got the taste of your life's blood And now we are contained You got the taste of your life's blood Revolving doors remain

What makes you the face of this delusion What makes you tick You think you control this emotion You make me sick Roll back the impact to all facts And let them bleed Counter-agents fill in the mistakes Of faulting traits Show me what is real Teach me how to feel Hiding what I am Only to explode again I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground You open your eyes to see nothing You follow the snitch Retract the lies that are intact We slaughter the facts Regret the infect to perfect Your social disease Dummy down to fester the reasons Of this killing machine Show me what is real Tell me what to feel Hiding what I am Face yourself and than see I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company This time as the blood is falling I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground I think you better be on your way This time as the blood is falling Regret the grace of your company Face down rest in the underground

I cherish the emptiness Inside of this grievance I hoped that you were The man that I’ve become I’m only pulling the strings To follow the leader Confessions into the vagueness Just for fun Can you see I’m feeling so pathetic Inside me I’m nothing you’ll regret it Can you be Displacement all the time Set me free From the borrowed time Break this hold I’m calling for it They’re falling for it The end is near In my life My motives are this Entrusting of this Are hands are tied You can’t take this moment And hide inside You can’t take this moment And fall in line I feel I’m out of control I’m sinking and thriving I only grab onto you For hopes we’re done This is all I have left No alter for saving When we get to the days Where we are one Can you see I’m feeling so pathetic Inside me I’m nothing you’ll regret it Can you be Displacement all the time Set me free From the borrowed time Break this hold I’m calling for it They’re falling for it The end is near In my life My motives are this Entrusting of this Are hands are tied You can’t take this moment And hide inside You can’t take this moment And fall in line Breaking free from this whole life Fall in line Break this hold I’m calling for it They’re falling for it The end is near In my life My motives are this Entrusting of this Are hands are tied You can’t take this moment And hide inside You can’t take this moment And fall in line

The patience for devotion The tragedies that we all have endured this time I feel like I am falling back into This crippling cage Of endless ways Set out to destroy me Will I see the end of this misery I gave you the worst of my emotions You retracted the lies I kept myself medicated for you For you for you You want it I need it Dissolve it And bleed it We’re living the lie You fear it I treat it Embrace it Erase it And all will be fine The vagueness is beyond words The vanity that struck a chord inside of me Is the very thing that’s keeping me From finding my place in a darkened space That was built around me Will I ever break this gravity I gave you the worst of my emotions You retracted the lies I kept myself medicated for you For you for you You want it I need it Dissolve it And bleed it We’re living the lie You fear it I treat it Embrace it Erase it And all will be fine Don’t wake me You just can’t You just can’t go replace me Don’t wake me You just can’t You just can’t go replace me Don’t wake me I won’t follow you I won’t follow you this is the end now Don’t wake me I won’t follow you I won’t follow you this is the end now Don’t wake up the world of my memories You just can’t replace what you’ve done to me Don’t wake up the world of my memories You just can’t replace what you’ve done to me I gave you the worst of my emotions You retracted the lies I kept myself medicated for you For you for you You want it I need it Dissolve it And bleed it We’re living the lie You fear it I treat it Embrace it Erase it And all will be fine

I bleed for you You bleed for me There is a time for everything If we turn back We will unfold Staying the course just to risk it all I won’t stand beside There’s nothing we will find I will force divide The fractures of mankind We will land inside With safety and the pleasures Of the force divine Fake the cure Absorbing all the sorrow Forcing of our hand Regressing all that follows All out war We hold on to the actions Bow down to the rising reflections Us standing tall Will kill them all A lesser fate we contemplate To rise above We bring the love A unified sense of mind I won’t stand beside There’s nothing we will find I will force divide The fractures of mankind We will land inside With safety and the pleasures Of the force divine Fake the cure Absorbing all the sorrow Forcing of our hand Regressing all that follows All out war We hold on to the actions Bow down to the rising reflections Not born to suffer Against my will The turning pages A faulty thrill I’m not the one I can not be undone Not born to suffer Against my will The turning pages A faulty thrill I’m not the one I can not be undone Fake the cure Absorbing all the sorrow Forcing of our hand Regressing all that follows All out war We hold on to the actions Bow down to the rising reflections Fake the cure Absorbing all the sorrow Forcing of our hand Regressing all that follows All out war We hold on to the actions Bow down to the rising reflections

There is nothing that you can invest To grasp the rope of our progress What’s left would only be a memory A memory of lies This is something that you’ll never forget The constant pain and the torment The aging vessels we intrude The river fills with blood Home is where it’s flowing Where it’s flowing This river fills with blood Where is your savior Don’t put your trust in Don’t put your trust in me For I’m the chosen failure The broken have fallen down We’re lost and just can’t be found I know the worst has come Regretting the inflicted mind This is something that will always reflect The indication of the rejects The advocating of our time The river fills with blood Home is where it’s flowing Where it’s flowing This river fills with blood Where is your savior Don’t put your trust in Don’t put your trust in me For I’m the chosen failure The river fills with blood The river fills with blood Home is where it’s flowing Where it’s flowing This river fills with blood Where is your savior Don’t put your trust in Don’t put your trust in me For I’m the chosen failure

Save this vivid stage Our oceans have been draining Just like the gun to your head I’m redeeming my Persecutions of hope We’re hanging low on this rope How long till you subside Tell me the lies That will fill open wounds Then we’ll join the parade And we’ll all die in vain Beg my forgiveness We are blind Beg for it all I’m fine Then stand beside And blur the lines of time inside You have no shelter We are blind I have no truth I’m fine You won't be blind When you and the reborn are mine Coming undone and I am the one for phrasing To give some peace and false hope Trading freedom for The pleasure of retaining The gross decisions invoked A false revision condoned Tell me the lies That will fill open wounds Then we’ll join the parade And we’ll all die in vain Beg my forgiveness We are blind Beg for it all I’m fine Then stand beside And blur the lines of time inside You have no shelter We are blind I have no truth I’m fine You won't be blind When you and the reborn are mine There’s no more shelter Our lives have been sold There’s no more shelter Our lives our lives have been sold Beg my forgiveness We are blind Beg for it all I’m fine Then stand beside And blur the lines of time inside You have no shelter We are blind I have no truth I’m fine You won't be blind When you and the reborn are mine Beg my forgiveness We are blind Beg for it all I’m fine Then stand beside And blur the lines of time inside You have no shelter We are blind I have no truth I’m fine You won't be blind When you and the reborn are mine

I know there’s a vastness in the end Your love and light has faded As we applaud they curse the dead The ground will revive your calling You want to save me You got to face me Realize the crime And embrace me You can devour Regaining power You got to love the face that’s burned inside Facing the fire You are the enemy I face the fire You are the enemy Stop forging the lies Release control Create the necessity Creating a god I know that this is not who I am You are the enemy I know that you can not understand Within simplicity This figure blasting down the bend I ate the hate of regression As we resolve they cut the cord The sound will reverse your calling You want to save me You got to face me Realize the crime And embrace me You can devour Regaining power You got to love the face that’s burned inside Facing the fire You are the enemy I face the fire You are the enemy Stop forging the lies Release control Create the necessity Creating a god I know that this is not who I am You are the enemy I know that you can not understand Within simplicity Grasping towards the face of civility Realizing that you are the enemy Grasping towards the face of civility Realizing that you are the enemy Grasping towards the face of civility Realizing that you are the enemy Grasping towards the face of civility Realizing that you are the enemy I face the fire You are the enemy Stop forging the lies Release control Create the necessity Creating a god I know that this is not who I am You are the enemy I know that you can not understand Within simplicity I face the fire You are the enemy Stop forging the lies Release control Create the necessity Creating a god I face the fire You are the enemy I face the fire You are the enemy I face the fire You are the enemy Creating a god

I don’t know how to fix this You didn’t have to die To get away from it Vanishing faults for truth Coming undone I’ll do my best to crawl out of this Pulling from the vastness Paint your lies Focus on what can’t be undone There’s still tomorrow's dream Not letting go of anything Can’t get you to listen Did my words just not come out right Our world imploded So now there’s a hole left inside me Reeling inside All hope has gone with time What could I’ve done To keep you above with me What do I do without you What will tomorrow bring What do I do without you I feel I am sinking When I wake up tomorrow And this was not a dream What do I do without you This cannot be the end Plagued by the erosion and disguise You sunk right into disbelief I showed you empathy And held on strong to your screams Patience to the breaking point of life The emptiness was just to strong The darkness swallows whole And we are left here crumbling Reeling inside All hope has gone with time What could I’ve done To keep you above with me What do I do without you What will tomorrow bring What do I do without you I feel I am sinking When I wake up tomorrow And this was not a dream What do I do without you This cannot be the end I’m sinking Without you What do I do without you What will tomorrow bring What do I do without you I feel I am sinking When I wake up tomorrow And this was not a dream What do I do without you This cannot be the end I’m sinking Without you

How many times have I told you this before Your not a slave to the system you implore Get up stand up Find yourself believing That you’re part of this wretched legion Respect the taste of what’s inside Regret the waste of your minds eye Reform the traits that will heal you Regroup the dark inside you Breaking away from our instincts Fucking your world full of mistakes Reject the faith reject the faith Righteous attacks to help you feel safe I am not the chosen I will forsake no one I am here to bleed through Reject the faith reject the faith I’ll show you things that you’ve never seen before That cancer that’s your life will never be endured Wake up wake up To your new world reason That marks your verbal bleeding Respect the taste of what’s inside Regret the waste of your minds eye Reform the traits that will heal you Regroup the dark inside you Breaking away from our instincts Fucking your world full of mistakes Reject the faith reject the faith Righteous attacks to help you feel safe I am not the chosen I will forsake no one I am here to bleed through Reject the faith reject the faith I am not the one that’s killing you Hold on to your faith that’s thrilling you Waiting for the day that never comes Taking more than you give I am not the one that’s killing you Hold on to your faith that’s thrilling you Waiting for the day that never comes Taking more than you give Lying for your entrance Breaking away from our instincts Fucking your world full of mistakes Reject the faith reject the faith Righteous attacks to help you feel safe I am not the chosen I will forsake no one I am here to bleed through Reject the faith reject the faith

I’m here To help you brave the calling I’m done Reviving This love We had for the faded Succumb To what we had I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down We live the life Of untruths and imperfections I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down I’m coming undone I’m dying inside You cannot save me We fear The sites that will disprove us Unspun Reclaiming Sick of We have these endless cravings We’re numb And then we’re I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down We live the life Of untruths and imperfections I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down I’m coming undone I’m dying inside You cannot save me I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down We cut the ties Of our blood and contention I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down I’m coming undone I’m dying inside You cannot save me I feel the burning inside My eyes have seen the lacerations Of darling face Concentrations falling I see the yearning behind your cries Of this darkest hour I’ve traded places You feel so low inside now I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down We live the life Of untruths and imperfections I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down I’m coming undone I’m dying inside You cannot save me I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down We cut the ties Of our blood and contention I’ve got to slow down Before I fall down I’m coming undone I’m dying inside You cannot save me

Engage for feelings Faulting the emotions For a world that doesn't exist Coping from a grievance Set forth the reasons Engulfing you into the abyss Faltering minds Entangled in intangible Reality attempting to thrive Waning eyes once fixed on a bright future Now just sit back and watch the demise Drifting towards the manic occupation Scraping more to kill the celebration Erase reborn to maintain the population Holding on for this damnation This is the proclamation Rise up to the abomination Visions are held so high As you kneel down and bleed them dry This is the proclamation Rise up to the abomination Visions are held so high As you kneel down and bleed them dry Speculations drive your conversations And your hatred for logic persists The vague revival That is survival Will create your funeral within Low level spirit incarnate With no chance for advancement Human heart is a bottomless pit Soul is sickened Bleak and weakened Ghost is larva of the fly This wretched being Shouldn't exist Drifting towards the manic occupation Scraping more to kill the celebration Erase reborn to maintain the population Holding on for this damnation This is the proclamation Rise up to the abomination Visions are held so high As you kneel down and bleed them dry This is the proclamation Rise up to the abomination Visions are held so high As you kneel down and bleed them dry Send them to me I am envy Send them to me All that can’t see Send them to me I am envy Send them to me All that can’t see

I see it coming again There is nothing for me in the end I struggle with what is true Shadows kill what was our youth I open my heart for you Only to end up bleeding again I can still falsify truth Only to end up grieving again You want to say it was me You want to say it was me You want to say it was me You want to say it was I’m spinning out of control And I can’t take it You’re not the haven I need And it comes again I’m falling into this hole And you can’t save me Open wide see inside I hope there’s something ahead I just want to get past these regrets The rations of hate from you Darkness kills what was our proof I close the doors that review Only to end up creating pain I try to dissolve the roots Only to end up degrading fate You want to say it was me You want to say it was me You want to say it was me You want to say it was I’m spinning out of control And I can’t take it You’re not the haven I need And it comes again I’m falling into this hole And you can’t save me Open wide see inside I’m spinning out of control And I can’t take it You’re not the haven I need And it comes again I’m falling into this hole And you can’t save me Open wide see inside Pray for me And find Nothings changed Leave me far behind I feel you’re settling the score
