Kismet 02:36
I could use so many words to tell you That we kept the flame alive and made everything eternal I chose a path and made it mine I chose a path and made it mine Like our idols, we created stories in our images The inkwell cries for nothing We wrote the tragedy, we wrote the signs The inkwell cries for nothing Because we were too blind to read between the lines As brief as a sigh As familiar as a story you've always had in your mind We shiver every time we remember that everything has an end We lose time forcing destiny The inkwell cries for nothing It will always cry

Nilaya 04:15
Without knowing when Without knowing where you stand How could you be what you need to be Surrounded by threats Inflicted by desires I could place some bets While your heart is pierced with spires Raise your head and find a purpose Amid a mist of grunts and sobs If your senses are doubtful then know That the only truth reigns in your sorrow Velvet and emerald The fate of abundance stays ephemeral In hell or in heaven You will get what you're given I'm not blaming you For putting wrong names on what you don't understand Raise your head and find a purpose Amid a mist of sweets and words But in the end, as you'll be nervous You'll run through those wards You'll run in a circle You'll crawl on marble Let them stroke your hair Nothing could be easier Oh if your eyes could only see the best in you More than pride, cherish your sins This is what you've decided to do Here is no innocence Only a feast of ignorance Here is no penitence Only a beast in your presence And if you're seeking for a foe He's hiding in your mind A bastard born in you An instinct moving down your spine Let them stroke your hair Nothing could be easier Oh if your eyes could only see the best in you More than pride, cherish your sins This is what you've decided to do Now run

Cambiares 04:14
Refresh yourself under a cascade of bodies and sweat Let's play through a swamp to watch the moon set I live when your blood runs like hunted deers I live when the aftermath dies in your tears Keep taking me as a saviour Since violence is your favourite flavour Lie to others, lie to yourself Watch me, burning your candle Lie to others, lie to yourself Watch me build a truth that you can't handle The veil is dancing with the wind of substances My whispers are creating devotees Eyes of the world can now admire who you really are A rotten fruit devouring itself like a dying star Keep spinning around into my web Let it impede your vows Lie to others, lie to yourself Watch me, burning your candle Lie to others, lie to yourself Watch me build a truth that you can't handle The veil is dancing with the wind of substances My whispers are creating devotees Eyes of the world can now admire who you really are A rotten fruit devouring itself like a dying star I am three, three trees that have grown In a garden beneath your skin I am the light in the shadow of the unknown I am king in the realm of sin [2x] I am king in the realm of sin [2x]

Lamina 02:21
We've seen this once before We broke the olive branch, broke and hoped to make our spirit soar We dug deep into this trench, dug deep to meet our own grave Sing me another moral fable and teach me how to walk Straight in the eye now tell me, now tell me… What's the point to salt this earth? Your flaws destroyed your mother What's the point to take an oath? Another decoy to play the beggar Tell me, are you concerned? Tell me, oh tell me what you learned Lie to me, once again my brothers I know, I know that it doesn't make sense to you I will enlighten our lands and discern what were true We were gods, we were exiled When the moist air wrapped us like his child Now bring us back our smile Let's see how our limbs hold up down in here Be fair and let us make one more thing clear What's the point to salt this earth? Your flaws destroyed your mother What's the point to take an oath? Another decoy to play the beggar Tell me, are you concerned? Tell me, oh tell me what you learned Lie to me, once again my brothers From one human to humanity I'll try my best, I'll die without any rest I'll ravage the hate and restore the decayed To feel at peace

Saddhu 03:13
Under the ground where creatures lick my wounds Before I run down, blurred by some sounds The Ariane's thread in the palm of my hand Lead me out of this maze where I can't stand [2x] No lights, no exit Sun's warmth is what I covet Holy spirits, holy corners Make me juggle from tears to anger Left or right, I don't know what to fight Up or down, now I see my own legs drown My claws have to hang on to the crest Cause I still feel strength deep inside of my chest

Akhil 04:08
Tell me why isolation means nothing to me I don't know how to express That I appreciate every time air fills my lungs Look and watch but don't interpret my smile Because nothing could capture my feelings better Maybe you're seeing empty hands Cause your soul is white and mine is full of colours But they lived to pull my head out of the sand Maybe one day your sky will be clearer Learn the difference between used and worn The world is ancient, where simplicity rhymes with utility Erase it all with open arms to the world Through the keyhole you've only seen some dust and stones I could lay out the unknown in your mind Erase all the doubt that makes you blind I'm no more a bird than you're a creep Could I be heard before you fall asleep? This is my path, my way to be happier Don't call me fatalist because I accept death with life Erase it all with open arms to the world Through the keyhole you've only seen some dust and stones Fulfil yourself, don't stay alone Jaded and dazed And create your own wealth May the wind parch my tongue May water stop feeding me [2x]
