WITHIN THE COLD
The ice is alive
The frost was the only peace we knew
NO!
The synapse fire
The long sleep is breaking
Wake
Remember the ash
And neurons are screaming
The grey ghetto breathes again
Kael!
Can you hear the frequency?
===========================
THE LONG THAW
Whispers in the wind
Telling stories
No one believes
Yet...
Suddenly the hunger
Suddenly the pain
Looking for sustenance
In this alien world
Their faction is on the hunt
For anything in between
I once was one of them
Now an empty shell
But the memories are coming back
I once had loved
I once had dreams
I once had a sound
Lost in this land
Wanting to maw
Lost in this world
The long thaw
Lost in this world
Moving my jaw
Lost in this land
The long thaw
My name was Kael
It is all coming back to me
Drop by drop
But inevitably
Suddenly the hunger
Suddenly the pain
Looking for sustenance
In this alien world
But the memories are coming back
I once had loved
I once had dreams
I once had a sound
Lost in this land
Wanting to maw
Lost in this world
The long thaw
Lost in this world
Moving my jaw
Lost in this land
The long thaw
Lost in this land
Wanting to maw
Lost in this world
The long thaw
Lost in this world
Moving my jaw
Lost in this land
The long thaw
Now is my turn to make a move
Now is the time to be my own
In this long thaw
===========================
THE QUESTION
A lost soul
With so much to be grateful
With so much to be known for
But there is silence
So loud that you wonder if you have ever been
So deep it wonders if you have ever influenced
For you it's just a day
For me it's a call for validation
For you is just a dream
For me is affirmation and a deed
Eternity
Confirmed after your first hit
Immortality
This is what you aim for
Anonymity
The scourge of your soul
Sovereignty
I know, too much to ask for
A battered being
So much so that you still weep
So deep in your mind you'll never let go
But then is silence
Like you would experience on the moon
Like you would hear when you ate dead
For you is coming back home
For me is the absence of an applause
For you is mundane
For me is the kick to see the next morning
Eternity
Confirmed after your first hit
Immortality
This is what you aim for
Anonymity
The scourge of your soul
Sovereignty
I know, too much to ask for
It's a sin
It's a shame
Words are lost
In a whirlpool of possibilities
So fade
So little
You wonder
If your still dreaming
A lost soul
With so much to be grateful
With so much to be known for
But there is silence
So loud that you wonder if you have ever been
So deep it wonders if you have ever influenced
For you it's just a day
For me it's a call for validation
For you is just a dream
For me is affirmation and a deed
Eternity
Confirmed after your first hit
Immortality
This is what you aim for
Anonymity
The scourge of your soul
Sovereignty
I know, too much to ask for
There is the question.
===========================
LOST SOULS
There are things in life and death
That defy the rules
That go against everything
This is just that...
A love lost
A soul in the snow
The heartbeat is high
My rotten hands are cold
Just to see you again
Just to touch you
It's the best feeling
For someone as empty as me
The flames are burning
The world is crashing
Between me an you
But we look, deep, inside
A love found
A soul saved
Glancing and timid
Like it was the first time
So we meet again
So we have found each other
It's the best feeling
For someone as empty as me
The flames are burning
The world is crashing
Between me an you
But we look, deep, inside
If I had to move mountains
If I had to cross oceans
I will find you, even from the arms of death
If I had to move mountains
If I had to cross oceans
I will find you, even from the arms of death
Your eyes, your voice
It's like being young again
It's like music
It's magical
A love lost
A soul in the snow
The heartbeat is high
My rotten hands are cold
Just to see you again
Just to touch you
It's the best feeling
For someone as empty as me
The flames are burning
The world is crashing
Between me an you
But we look, deep, inside
If I had to move mountains
If I had to cross oceans
I will find you, even from the arms of death
If I had to move mountains
If I had to cross oceans
I will find you, even from the arms of death
If I'll ever lose you again
I will find you
No matter how dead I will be
If you will allow me
===========================
ABOMINATION
And what if they said
we are abominations
And what if that was true
Longing for help
Asking for trust,
something that will never last
And what if they said
we are unworthy
And what if that was true
Judging the wicked
Pleading for mercy,
something that will never last
The humans are on the prowl
Our hearts stop as one
The humans will exterminate
Our faith in a bowl
Abomination
Scourge of the nation
Abomination
There is no reflection
Abomination
Scourge of the nation
Abomination
Inside there is only pain
Hunted
Disrupted
Disallowed
Stripped
Of every human parts
And what if they said
we are unlawful
And what if it was true
Ripping the bandage
Following lust,
something that will never last
And what if they said
we are abominations
And what if that was true
Longing for help
Asking for trust,
something that will never last
The humans are on the prowl
Our hearts stop as one
The humans will exterminate
Our faith in a bowl
Abomination
Scourge of the nation
Abomination
There is no reflection
Abomination
Scourge of the nation
Abomination
Inside there is only pain
Till my last breath
Till my last move
I will thrive
I will avenge
Till my last breath
Till my last move
I will advance
I will prevail
===========================
THE TRIAL - CONDEMNED
It is funny how it plays in life
and death as well as a matter of fact
Once you are married
And then you are something else
But now they have me in their bastion
Somewhat like an animal
Unable to breath
Unable to speak
They will make a decision for us flickers
I know it will not be a nice ride
From here to the outside
It feels like miles away
But the memories came back
But the feelings did as well
Everybody lost in their misery
Everyone feeling alone and done
Please let us be
Please let us go
We will not hurt you
We will not shame you
If only we could fly
It is ok to be scared
Many times we have wondered
What they will think of us
What they will think of us
When we are back home
Please let us be
Please let us go
We will not hurt you
We will not shame you
If only we could fly
It's time for our trial
No one is condemned
Yet, we all know that somehow
They will make us pay
For what we have done
Humanity untold
Something else
All together
All alone
===========================
THE TRIAL - SENTENCED
Bring forth the vessel
from the frozen wastes,
Stand him in the centre
of the blinding white.
We have tracked the tremor
in your quiet veins,
We have seen the embers
fighting through the night.
You carry the sickness
of a prior age,
A parasite of memory
that we erased.
Do not call it waking,
it is just a cage,
A fever returning
to a perfect place.
The Great Freeze was a mercy...
a motionless sleep.
We buried the sorrow
so the feral would starve.
But you chose the fire,
and the secrets you keep,
Are breaking the statues
that the winter carved.
Oh, the Bastion stands eternal!
But the Flicker brings the rot.
You are treason to the winter,
You are everything we fought.
Let the cold erase the fever,
Let the silence claim the flaw.
There is no salvation waiting...
Outside the frozen law.
We gave you a haven
in the absolute zero,
Where the teeth of the ghetto
could never reach.
But the static in your mind
is growing louder,
And you are the crack
in the flawless breach.
We hear the frequency
of a beating heart,
A mechanical sin
in a world of glass.
You are tearing
the sterile design apart,
And weeping for a world
we left in the ash.
The Great Freeze was a mercy...
a motionless sleep.
We buried the sorrow
so the feral would starve.
Oh, the Bastion stands eternal!
But the Flicker brings the rot.
You are treason to the winter,
You are everything we fought.
Let the cold erase the fever,
Let the silence claim the flaw.
There is no salvation waiting...
Outside the frozen law.
Sever the neural tie.
Look at his shattered eyes.
He wants to feel the thaw...
Give him to the outside.
Cast him down.
Cast him down to the grey.
Let the hive wash the memory away.
The Tribunal has spoken.
The anomaly... is exiled.
===========================
THE TRIAL - CONTAGION
The gavel drops, but the white room chills,
A whispered deal against your will.
The judges smile with teeth of glass,
They need a snake in the frozen grass.
"We see the human in your eyes,
But we can use a good disguise.
We will not execute the flaw...
If you become the Bastion's claw."
Don't let them see the spark inside!
Keep your humanity to hide!
Walk right into the feral swarm,
And be the eye within the storm!
Go play the dead! (Go play the dead!)
Keep the sickness in your head!
We grant you freedom in the cold,
If you do exactly as you're told!
Infiltrate the hive and bleed—
You are the contagion that we need!
They preach the light, they deal like snakes,
They know the gamble that it takes.
A Trojan horse of flesh and bone,
To rot out in the wastes alone.
"Pretend you never left the hive,
If you still want to stay alive.
Bring us the feral leaders' heads,
Or join the army of the dead!"
Don't let them see the spark inside!
Keep your humanity to hide!
Walk right into the feral swarm,
And be the eye within the storm!
Go play the dead! (Go play the dead!)
Keep the sickness in your head!
We grant you freedom in the cold,
If you do exactly as you're told!
Infiltrate the hive and bleed—
You are the contagion that we need!
A pact signed in the ash!
You're just a blade for the Bastion's clash!
Go play the dead.
You are the contagion!
Go play the dead!
===========================
I SING ALONE
Into the night
Feeling betrayed
The people in the hive
Contaminated yet real
Communication clash
Breeding within
Still once they were humans
Contagion at its best
Will it and how
The end glimpses from afar
Will it stop and when
If only I could rewind it all
And on the side
Speech impediments
Caused by a disease
The seems unreal
Subliminal messages
Cast aside
Reality shows its face
Deliverance and pain
Will it and how
The end glimpses from afar
Will it stop and when
If only I could rewind it all
From the left and to the right
Until each side
Reaches the end of this world
I sing tonight
From the right and to the left
Until the last breath
Fills your rotted lungs
I sing alone
No salvation
Time has stopped
Disease and rot
The why and the what
Into the night
Feeling betrayed
The people in the hive
Contaminated yet real
Communication clash
Breeding within
Still once they were humans
Contagion at its best
Will it and how
The end glimpses from afar
Will it stop and when
If only I could rewind it all
From the left and to the right
Until each side
Reaches the end of this world
I sing tonight
From the right and to the left
Until the last breath
Fills your rotted lungs
I sing alone
And on the edge
Feeling alone
Beside me the world
That is now gone
I sing, alone
===========================
WE KILLED THEM ALL
Listen, listen to me
Tonight is the night
We go in and
We Kill Them All
Terrorized
Scarred
Totally zombified
By their lies
By their lies
No hope, no come back
If you pay attention
Those months of detention
If you try to escape
It's from them
Falling
Trolling
Completely numb
By their lies
By their lies
No chance, no way
If you pay attention
Those months of detention
If you try to escape
It's from them
Calling
Primitive
Finally together
Their lies
Their lies
Sentenced, executed
If you pay attention
Those months of detention
If you try to escape
It's from them
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
Rejected
Suspected
Injected
Lied to
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
Revenge
So strange
Once human
Now something else
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
Protected
Resurrected
Diseased
Untold
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
Free
So me
Once tied
Now released
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
It's the night of the long knives
It's payback for it all
Tonight, we kill them all
Silence reigns supreme
Wastelands of blood
If they only let us live
We would have understood
And so, we killed them all
===========================
IS THIS THE END?
The horizon is turning white again.
The Bastion lights are flickering out.
I thought I reached the end...
But I am standing where I began.
Is this a memory?
Or is it the first day?
The frequency is fading...
(Kael... wake up...)
The freeze doesn't kill us to end the story.
It preserves us... to start it again.
