*Lyrics*
Angelwrath (ft. Ryo Kinoshita): I used to sleep through the broadcasts That told us of wars past, a tragic hindsight The earth is eroding, we’ll haze our blue sky Do you think it’s fair to sit idly by? We wonder what we once were because what was frozen is melting now
Tired eyes, there’s no sunlight Climates rise We won’t sleep at night
Forfeit the only health that you have left Don’t let them sell our souls again, cause’ this corruption scorched the very place you live
Watch the angels fall Singing a song of our tragic fate “It’s a shame that you’re all to blame” Our sin builds up the debris Our greed spills into the sea Slowly but certainly the end is coming
Tired eyes, there’s no sunlight Climates rise We won’t sleep at night I’ll never be your alibi Tired eyes, we won’t sleep at night
All we are is an enemy All we need is a remedy
Tired eyes, there’s no sunlight Climates rise We won’t sleep at night I’ll never have the strength to fight Tired eyes, we won’t sleep at night
Rain Dancer: I hope we get to tell these stories to our kin We get to live peacefully, contain the nightmare deep within Nuclear war, it’s just another dynasty I know I would appreciate some honesty
Time and time again Watch it all end the world is echoing this war inside my head
Comprehend the struggle to defend time and time again this war inside my head (my head)
Blood, seared by gasoline Mass hypocrisy will hypnotize and crucify the weak because time and time again their destruction has no end
We won’t give in to their ignorance Restore our confidence because the hope we had, it never left
Rain falls again, our history is written in the sand And yesterday was in our hands
Rain falls again, and yesterday was in our hands
Time and time again Watch it all end the world is echoing this war inside my head
My head Oh, this war inside my head
Rat Race: I don’t live wanna live a lie I’m diving into what seems like hell again
I’m still waking up in the same place, stuck in the rat race Seeing the same old shit Everyday is a headache, feeling my soul take hits I can’t withstand When will the tide change for my own sake? The pain is relentless Can someone stop me from falling head first over the precipice
This isn’t how I wanted to be Rejection inside, reflects what I see Show me the path that I was meant to lead The fire inside, it’s all that I breathe
Don’t listen to them it’s their apathy Holding you back when I’m stuck in this misery All I can teach you is mistakes are memories Follow your heart again, reclaim the light I need
Now you know what it’s like to be a stranger with no home
I feel the fire, it’s coursing through my throat Can you hear the cry my soul makes? It’s weeping all alone
Breaking down my walls and it pulls me away to an ocean surrounding this abysmal ache In the end, this is hell
(This is hell)
Almost Human: It’s how we’re engineered Chemistry brings us safety You can’t delete what we fear Our vision ever-changing
Teleport to a world away We’re leaving, retreating in a whirlwind
Every day we fucking compromise So sick and tired of feeling that I’m not alive My conscious blurs the line between the truth and lies Fantasy, I want to live a life beyond the stars Reality, always searching for an exit
I wanna see the skies of other lands and not pretend Please understand
Human sense, take it back Programmed lies, system hack All these versions of my past Yearn for answers I don’t have
Teleport to a world away We’re leaving, retreating in a whirlwind I’m loosing my grip and there’s nothing to say We’re healing, believing in our own skin
Our rebellion has no end
Rusted shells obscure Networks of hollow core We’re all dead and gone (We’re dead and gone)
Teleport to a world away We’re leaving, retreating in a whirlwind I’m loosing my grip and there’s nothing to say We’re healing, believing in our own skin
We’re all dead and gone
Devilspit: Illuminate the sky with thousands of bright lights A warning sign sent from the Gods Hear the sound of marching from devils They shadow the here and now
Turn the page, expose deceit through the years Flip a coin, watch them shed crocodile tears
It’s like a spreading disease, an arrow through the achilles Tongues twisted like cyclones, epitaph on a tombstone This fable is plaguing me
I foresee the end of humanity, the price of their prophecy: a reckoning
Fuck the things they preach The wise against the meek All surrounding me They bring us to our knees
Expose deceit through the years Watch them shed crocodile tears
It’s like a spreading disease, an arrow through the achilles Tongues twisted like cyclones, epitaph on a tombstone This fable is plaguing me True north on a compass As vast as the sea We’ll find a way to dissipate The veil of reality
Illuminate the sky
