End vs Beginning (2015) – Rise To Fall

1. End vs Beginning

Can you hear it?
It's the sound of our world resurging
The sound of theirs falling apart
A cosmic seed falls from the heights
From the bowels of the sky
Fecundating the waters

A new creation takes shape
An evolved being created from
A polished collection of errors
A sense of battle
The next chapter's open
End versus beginning

[Chorus:]
We are building again
No matter how long it takes us to
Restore the balance
We are swimming against
This dying current till we heal

[Solo]

I wake up
In this lonely and desolated place
I can hear nothing but silence
Is it mine this body I inhabit?
I don't recognize the thoughts
That invade my mind

[Chorus]

Corruption is rewarded
And honesty's a sacrifice
But slowly the tide is turning

[Solo]

[Chorus x 2]

2. The Threshold

Black birds have darkened the skyline
They've been fed with hate and terror
Desperation corroding their minds
Solid victims of their compromise

I'm sick of the strangers
They're still many of them to come
Their purpose is to sack
I have no choice, it's time to act

[Chorus:]
I chase the northern lights
I seek their radiation
(Radiation now)
A fusion of
Electric colors in the heights
Brings dramatic changes

Experts on crossing the threshold
Keep on breaking all the limits
A new power will be shown tonight
I can sense it, it comes burning

I'm sick of the strangers
They're still many of them to come
Their purpose is to sack
I have no choice, it's time to act

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

3. Plastic Scene

A motivation increases
Within my walls
I see the coming results

The same behavior
The same way to perform
Won't bring me wisdom
Won't take me where I wanna go

When the routine knocks at the door
Claiming for an answer
Imagination is the source
The passport to a higher mind

[Chorus:]
I'm wearing a new skin
Today I challenge the laws
Into this plastic scene
Should I dare to molt?

Create an image
Without a clear parting point
No prescribed rules in this world
When there is no way out
The unconscious overflows
I look for shelter
In my comfort capsules

When the routine knocks at the door
Claiming for an answer
Imagination is the source
That opens all the borderlines

[Chorus]
(Should I dare to molt?)

A place, a song, the art...
Are good conductors to your imagery
Now find among your thoughts
A big explosion of creativity

Imagination is the tool
That makes you graze the sky

[Chorus]

4. Burning Signs

Lights attracted by the gravity
Burning signs approaching to an end

Testing our abilities
We could cope
This brand new challenge
Every link is vital
And you are the piece we need

Escaping, you will miss it all
Stay here
And you'll learn how to play

[Chorus:]
Now it's time
To focus on this chain of life
Feel the intention shake inside
Making all the demons fall apart
Find the faith beyond the scars

March against adversity
Our mind's mighty
We just need to believe

Escaping, you will miss it all
Stay here
And you'll learn how to play

[Chorus]

Hold your hands
(Hold your hands)
Hold your hands
(Hold your hands)
Hold your hands now
3, 2, 1, go

Our course continues
Our course continues

Escaping, you will miss it all
Stay here
And you'll learn how to play

[Chorus]

5. Parasites

Encased in a frozen coffin
From another age
Almost mummified
Inside a hermetic cage

I've remained stagnant
Now crystal tears melt the ice

[Chorus:]
I am bleeding
Defying on my own
I'm paralyzed by this invading host
I am leading
Defying the inner ghosts
These parasites contaminate my soul

Fragments of degeneration
Corrupting the atmosphere
A pollution caused by
A factory of fears

I've remained stagnant
Now crystal tears melt the ice

[Chorus]

There is an army of infected soldiers
Running through my veins
I won't let them conquer my existence
I take control of them

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Defying the inner ghosts

6. Rise Without Drama

After the explosion
I could only see ruins
Everything I'd created
Were only ashes

You were just a lump of inert matter
Floating in space
Your consciousness
Completed its learning cycle
And went on to another phase

Will I ever find the secret bound
That divides intuition and failure?
Time to ease your mind
You are safe and sound
Now you can indulge
Your desires freely

[Chorus1:]
Like a pure light
Like a cold flame that never fades
Feel a breath of bliss

Somehow I crossed the cosmos
Then I was reborn
Fair hostility of the place
Made me strong

Now you know the charms and threats
Surrounding us
Don't you think it's something worth
Fighting for?

[Chorus2:]
Like a pure light
Like a cold flame that never fades
Feel a breath of bliss
Like a long life
That absorbs pain in full
Our aim's to fix

I can see my soul
Forever glowing like a burning torch
I've found a way
To build a bridge to higher worlds
I condemn the lie
That sinks everything in blindness

[Solo]

[Chorus3:]
Like a pure light
Like a cold flame that never fades
Feel a breath of bliss
Like a long life
That absorbs pain in full
Our aim...
Feel a breath of bliss
Like a pure light
Like a flame that never fades
Feel a breath of bliss
Like a long life
Like a long life
Like a flame that never fades

7. Thunders Of Emotions Beating

Another soul is awakening
Still don't know
If he's a friend of a threat
He's been repressed
Suffering for too long
Once released it cannot be stopped

Always driven by faith
Everything happens for a reason
Fascinated by this scene
Every single cloud has a silver lining

Now the sorrow makes sense

[Chorus:]
A realistic prospect
Changing all around
Thunders of emotions beating
Stronger than the storm itself

Your anger is atrocious
But there's still goodness inside you
Beyond the superficial the appearances
There's a world
Our cognitions can't perceive

Always driven by faith
Everything happens for a reason
Fascinated by this scene
Every single cloud has a silver lining

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Go!

We have to investigate to find
The underlying structures
The answer lies in the core
Even the strongest have a weak spot

Always driven by faith
Everything happens for a reason
Fascinated by this scene
Every single cloud has a silver lining

[Chorus x 2 ]

8. Murk Empire

Submerging into a toxic paradise
A murk empire's waiting
Right below the ice

It's a good distance
So I go straight to the core
Something's hiding in the immensity
I fear an expansion of a new disease

The more I venture
Into the obscurity
The more I see the coming
Of an imminent risk
A rotten seabed
Welcomes me to hell
A cemetery of waste and filth

This landscape defines us
It reflects who we are
Growing holes in the morality
Can explain how we came to this

[Chorus:]
When the last alarm bell sounds
Begging for urgent help
A new method must be found
To stop the suffering
You are all spreading

[Solo]

[Chorus]

I can hear you
I can feel all the pain
I will cure you
(I can hear you)
(I can feel all the pain)
I will dredge all the dirt
I will bring truth to light

9. Against All Odds

It all begins within oneself
Like a flash that scares the dark
A spark threatening to become fire
Burning all the curtains that
Conceal reality

Release the internal capabilities
(We'll move forward in great strides)
We are always what we
Want ourselves to be

The more aware we become
The more we begin to understand
Why this is happening
And what we are meant to learn
In our growth and change

Release the internal capabilities
(We'll move forward in great strides)
We are always what we
Want ourselves to be

[Chorus1:]
The legacy goes on
Our dream will last forever
Nothing can separate us from our goal
Our goal

Against all odds
Turn off this systematic conduct
It requires a sacrifice
We must take a risk
By exploring those territories
Never visited before

[Chorus2:]
The legacy goes on
Our dream will last forever
Nothing can separate us from our goal
The energy is eternal

[Solo]

We will meddle with your thinking
We'll be controversial
Condemned by authority
We are at the cutting edge
Of imagination
Flirting with madness
We'll be the surprise

[Chorus3:]
The legacy goes on
Our dream will last forever
Nothing can separate us from our goal
Our goal
The energy is eternal

[Chorus2]

10. Dark Clowns Leading Blinds

Call it disobedience
Call it defiance
But I'm not longer
Under your guidance
The cauldron's full
There's no place for the greed
You ain't the ingredient
That this potion needs

Unmasked purposes
They won't catch me off guard again
I've learnt your tactics
Your strategies
They all collide
Against your wall in the end
Against your words
(Against your words)
Your actions speak
(Your actions speak)
Expose the lies we once believed

Always alert
Can't afford making any mistakes
Submission fades
And that's when your system breaks

Crossing the line
Towards this light that I'm feeling
It's been dark for so long
After the horizon
There isn't always an end
It's just a false backdrop

Dark clowns leading blinds
The monster's era
Dark clowns leading blinds
It will be a memory

All the imposed limits
Are quickly getting old
Are disappearing
Together with the inculcated roles
(Inculcated roles)

Crossing the line
Towards this light that I'm feeling
It's been dark for so long
After the horizon
There isn't always an end
It's just a false backdrop

Dark clowns leading blinds
The monster's era
Dark clowns leading blinds
It will be a memory

Unmasked purposes
They won't catch me off guard again
I've learnt your tactics
Your strategies
They all collide
Against your wall in the end

11. Emptiness

Wearing a painted smile
In front of the mirror
Sadness revealed
When they turn around
Always moving
Towards the same direction
You think you are safe
But you look all lost

Now follow your instincts
I'm sure they'll take you home
Like a wise man said one time
Now be realistic
And see what's going on
Your freedom is designed

You keep repeating
Movements in a curl
so don't expect other results
Conformism is shown in every step
More and more trapped
In the spider web

Now follow your instincts
I'm sure they'll take you home
Like a wise man said one time
Now be realistic
And see what's going on
Your freedom is designed

[Chorus:]
Emptiness dissecting the souls
Of those who are not living
Emptiness
Differing from those who overrule
New ways of living
Ways of living

[Solo]

I'm not here to fit into your world
I'm here to build my own
How are you gonna fill
This sombre void
If is smoke everything you swallow?

[Chorus x 2]

12. Welcome To...

[Instrumental]

13. ...the Refuge

I'm one with the water
The currents shape me
First they feed me
Then they whisper me
All the miseries they bring within

Something must be done
We are being infected too much
And now the time has come
The time for this world to purge

Wounds are growing
Spreading like cancer
And it seems there is no one
To stop this disaster
Now I see it clear
The first impulse commands
To begin with this mission
I will send my regards

Something must be done
We are being infected too much
And now the time has come
The time for this world to purge

I'll treat you with respect
Will you follow my example?

[Chorus:]
Believe in a place
Full of true hearts
Where no one rules but the just
Fear disappears as trust
Forges his own path

Entering with stealth
Like an unexpected visitor
I'm very sorry
For not knocking at the door

I introduce myself
And invite you to my refuge
The place where you'll taste
The price of your impunity

Something must be done
We are being infected too much
And now the time has come
The time for this world to purge

Your game of oil and guns
Brings nothing but destruction

[Chorus]

Aoh

You've got a chance
To begin from scratch
Maybe it's the last
Are you ready to restart?

[Chorus x 2]

14. Unspeakable Sins

I absorbed all the evils of this age
Every drop of unspeakable sins
Thought they couldn't
Cause more damage
But now I'm the one in danger

I won't quit
Until I beat this burden
And the pain feeds me
I'll resist
Till the end of all times
As long as anyone

[Chorus:]
Is down on his knees
Watching their freedom bleeding
Succumbed by some
Terrifying figures
That dwell in these lands

Underrated by the most skeptic
Overrated by the hopeful ones
None of them took into account that
Nothing's ever what it seems

Dominated by invented forces
We are the ones who let the sorrow in
If the mind says there's no soreness
Then the cells begin to breathe

I won't quit
Until I beat this burden
And the pain feeds me
I'll resist
Till the end of all times
As long as anyone

[Chorus]

Hidden in the most unexpected place
Awaits the last living hope
Aooh

Now solutions are growing silent
Visualize the curing
Just see it done
A single decision
Can change your destiny

We are all judged by our actions
The choices we make
It is now or never
I choose to live

(As long as anyone)

[Chorus]
That dwell in these lands
That dwell in these lands

15. Sustention

I go back to the place that I
Should have never left
The shadow of failure
Always haunts me
All my attempts to improve things
Have ended in disgrace

What matters is not what happens
But how you react to it

[Chorus:]
The stars are falling
Fading in the gloom
Choose well your wishes
You'll have to deal with them
The stars are falling
Fading in the gloom
Choose the right wish

All this time was you who
Took care of me
You've been my sustention
Too good to be real

[Chorus]

I've tried to stop this hemorrhage
But I've only papered over the cracks
Who am I to alter the minds
To change the course of things?
I've lost my center
I've become the one I hated

What matters is not what happens
But how you react to it
Let out the blame you gather
Sintonize to feel

Every disease
Begins with an imbalance
And I have caused the greatest of all

All the things I wanted
For this planet are lost in the din...
...but then you appear
And your very presence
Makes everything make sense

You've always been my pull back to true north
My defensive energy

But now I must act alone
And be consistent with my decisions
Today may be a day we all remember
A defining day

You make me understand my road
That's why I choose you
In a million of lifetimes
In a million of worlds
I'll always choose you

[Chorus]

All this time was you who
Took care of me
You've been my sustention
And you will always be
