ANOTHER 04:48
Another Sinking, striving to reach the surface, Waiting beneath for the waves to pass by... All I've done ended in sheer loss, I failed to understand that no one but me Could have written down the lines. All I've done ended in sheer loss, I failed to understand that no one but me Could have made sense of it all. Saving time's absurd, you've got to consume it! Till the very end, the wind will blow . Feed the fire, make it grow higher and higher It will die, but not for you to see. Why being your own slave when You can free yourself from the other And live as you please? Down in the pits you crawl, you fear and you hide like a beast. A labyrinth of thorns to needle your skin again and again. A miasm of thoughts, you can't see clear anymore Cause you don't know who you are! Ariane's string, your only exit... Find the trap and save your life. He's raging, he waits for you, The Minotaur's looking for some soul. Reflects cross, faces confound. A doubt arise, where am I And when did it start? Take the mirror and bash it against the rock, Unwanted pieces of my soul faints dead on the ground... If days could born anew, will I still be the same, Will I choose to do it all again? If from the start I've been insane, Can I possibly become another man?

To hell & back Hey Dude, we're gonna tell you a story you've never heard of. Tis a tale of suffering and pain, in a world of fire and flames. The dark guy in the middle acted fucking crazy, Throwing lightnings and storm s everywhere. Not the kind of lazy man, kept going busy In every corner, in every inch of air. Death trap, Vengeance, who made that to him? Death trap, Vengeance, he knows you're not far. He was huge, horny, damn he was ugly, Well, the most ungracious man in the whole Hell. The Sinful had lost his eyes and he could not see a damn thing Even the devils hid in their corner, the man was so frightening "Hell," he said, "My eyes are rollin' like frantic wheels on the floor, I'm so fucking mad I could kill a cow, now can I get an encore?" Death Trap, Vengeance, who made that to me? Death trap, Vengeance, I'll kill you motherfucker. Dude, I'm gonna tell you a story you always hear of Tis a tale of suffering and pain, in a tragic, crude world. I am a poor soul and I'm dying, I'm damned but I'm fighting. Sadistic, vicious world. I'm looking for peace and respect, I'm trying to forget But the hate I keep inside my head won't find an exit. The world has turned me into a criminal, that's my shame and my trial, I was doomed when I was born, And in the end, I knew I'd burn. Life's sometimes a bitch, You can't always lead it like you wanna. Everybody's got a war to wage, Nothing's born to survive, nothing! We were dead before eyes and eyelids collide. Men don't born good or evil, They just have to pay the price, To pay for what they were and what they are. Life's the end of an idea, the point where logic dies.

HOWLING FOREST My Father This King The One Who Rules This Kingdom Dreams Of A World Deprived Of Brightness Blinded By The Warm Colour Of Silver Leading His Fight Against People's Bliss (Backed By His Right Hand He Seems To Save Some Time) Eager For Conquest He Extends His His Fief Till Destruction But There Some Times A Blood Freezing Scream Calls ! For Whole Nights Here In The Hills All Above We Call Her The Howling Forest Afflicted By This Nonsense I Look From Above This Howling Forest Which Now Burns For That Blazon People Laugh And Now Call It The Burning Burning Forest From This Day I Ve Grown Up And Beyond Shores I Still Hear This Sound Which Echoes Like A Sad Song Here In The Hills From High Above We Would Call It The Howling Forest

BLACK BILE 03:51
Black bile Crushed back into the wilderness of my youth Like sulfur dropped on insisting ashes. Alchemic disaster, organic abstraction. Echoes of a trembling voice... The shadow of an evil intent, Sheds light on forgotten ruins. The smile of an innocent toy Tears my mind away. A naïve melody drowns my thoughts In a deep, ravaging melancholy. Past madness feeds a strange monster… How can one ever try to forget? Pain prints in the chest Like a hammer works the steel. It turns into Nightmare How can one ever try to forget? The smile of an innocent toy tears my mind away. A naïve melody drowns my thoughts In deep, ravaging melancholy. It turns into Nightmare, all I've gone through... I can't escape the darkness below, A gap with no end,a chaotic scheme, A life with no aim! The best that you can get Is a sour smile for the sweet old days, You can try to relive but a sigh never heals...

METAL 05:00
Metal Metal, melting like gold in Satan's mouth. Metal, gliding straight from the roof. Metal, you gotta love that shit! Jesus, you gotta love that hit! Yeah! Runnin' wild, giving up your daily mess, Like Metal is your way. You're young, bright and fuckin' strong, Like Metal thrashing mad. You wanna take the whole world into a big black mass And flush it down the johns. You wanna hit the top and kick some asses! Hell yeah, tonight this is for real folks! You gotta leave all behind for a night And pick your best bandshirt. You gotta tear the pit like you never did And (head)bang till pain doesn't hurt! The cracking of bones, Blackness arises! Something in the look of your neighbour Doesn't seem clear, and suddenly you wonder Why you're here. The smell gets horrible, your vision blurs. Your ears are bleeding, strange things occur. You look mischevious and pale, You're getting stranger and inhale. The smell of your fears, of your hate. Man, that's it, you're in hell

THE DWELLING 04:56
The Dwelling Fallen From A Wall Behind The Dwelling That Everyone Wants To Enter A Man Picked Up And He Said To Me If You Wanna Get In You'll Gotta Climb So I Took The Door But The Other Killed Himself Hitting The Pane Of The Window Where Anyone Can Look In A Man Saw Me And Told Me If You Wanna See It You'll Gotta Break It So I Took The Door But The Man Throat Was Cut His Blood Run Into The Earth Truth Fled To Regain Nature Its Hearth Timeworn A Man Saw Me And Told Me If You Wanna Get In You'll Gotta Wait I Ve Been Told That Someone’s Got The Key X2 So I Took The Door But The Other Never Awoke Sitting On A Stone By The Door Anyone Could Unlock A Man Waited For Me And Told Me "How Did You Get In ? I Too Want It I Dreamt Of It So Many Times" (I Ve Tried To Push In Vain...So I Said) You Ve Got To Turn The Handle It's A Bit Hard But You Can Go Through It.

STRANGER 04:17
Stranger Entrapped, feels like nothing's right... Killing's not my thing, but it sells. Deprived, often tempted, I wonder... Don't feel like I was made for this. I mourn the time when I couldn't decide Now I'm on my own... Feel alone in my distress, someone help me! My days are in danger, need to find a way. Madness' growing on me like hell, Fear is there and here to stay. I mourn the time when I couldn't decide Now I'm on my own. Bliss, joy are unknown to me, And The day they'll knock at my door, I don't want to look like a stranger! Stranger, to my self, feelings and shadow. Awaiting my fate in the darkness. The toy of my own strings... Stranger, to the world and its challenges, Drinking my way to wisdom in silence Like in everyfool's kingdom. Stranger, to the others and their friendship, I slowly sink to the bottom. I'd give anything to cling on something still, For I now lose control of everything. Don't know what's wrong or right anymore! There's a trick played on me, a sickness that lies underneath...

The strand of time Here's my dream and I'm not sure to understand... My skull's feed with an unreal amount of sand Which keeps falling down behind me, Leaving its traces to the breath of the wind. For sand must regain the coast, the sea The place where body meets the mind, There, in the quiet strand of time. At the end of life, Man gives up its burden, He joins the coast, leaves all behind, Plunges his bare feet In the wet sand, Stares up a the gloomy sky: He's close, he's there. (In the quiet strand of time) He had never saw so beautiful a thing and maybe that it was worth The travel, the doubts, the fears, the hopes, and all the joice! From one end to another, he thought "here's the moment, here it is". Soundless mirage, invisible stain Blackened purity, sinless desires His feelings melt in confusion, His head turns backwards in hesitation. The sea, the sky, gather in a mist The horizon widens and everything disappears Leaving the place looking like nowhere* Here's my dream and I'm not sure to understand. But when a man feels the wind on his face, And the tide meets the sand, the whole world Could vanish, all could die without a word.
