01. Have a nice dream
4:21
WAKE UP
Are you motherfucking ready?
We have to show you there's another path
We are the blades of the Destiny's army
Obey our will, now: open your eyes
You're not a puppet – No!
You're not a fucking nun!
If you want to enjoy your life
You must get off your ass! Now! You've toWake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands(See there's no fate in our "Have A Nice Dream")
You spend your days in front of a screen
Ditching your friends to take pleasure in routines
What have you done? – Passions are long gone
And you can complain – You're there but you don't belong
Will you regret staying in the background?
Will you regret or accept being left out?
Then, if you want to know what it feels like –
Get off your ass! Damn! You've toWake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands(See there's no fate in our "Have A Nice Dream")
(And see the paradox in "H.A.N.D.")
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your hands
Wake up and open your eyes
Come back from never-never land
Wash away that castle of sand
And see your fate is in your handsYour fate is in your hands
Your fate is in your hands!
Your fate is in your hands
Your fate is in your hands!
Your fate is in your hands
Your fate is in your hands!
Your fate is in your hands
Your fate is in your hands!Music & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

02. Violent reality
3:10
Hardly standing on our legs,
We throw dice - here starts the first game.
When eyes open on the pain
The kids want to be blind men.Die! Die! Die!
Die! Die! Die!
They don't care!We live in a violent reality,
So violent that we can't see it.
The angel is comin' back from Hell
And we've no soul left to sell.Follow this curse of life
That barely gives us a choice.
Follow this curse of life,
Don't obey this pretty voice!We do not care about tomorrow, it'll rain.
Counting our dead in a database.
What if tomorrow the world fades away?
Dystopia: maybe I'll be there that day!We live in a violent reality,
So violent that we can't see it.
The angel is comin' back from Hell
And we've no soul left to sell.
We live in a violent reality,
So violent that we can't see it.
The angel is comin' back from Hell
And we've no soul left to sell.We live in a violent reality,
So violent that we can't see it.
The angel is comin' back from Hell
And we've no soul left to sell.
We live in a violent reality,
So violent that we can't see it.
The angel is comin' back from Hell
And we've no soul left to sell.Music & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

03. Dead talking mind
4:34
Locked in this tomb, a mound of dirt
Where it's hard for me to breathe
Here, I get what I deserve
For too long, I've tried to flee
Buried deep down, close to Hell
The ash I swallow like my pride
Throes of regret have tolled the bells
Listen, kneel down, and hear me cryThrough the grave of the man
Left for dead, a talking mind
Unsaid things buried alive
Fears like ravens above my head
Reminding me I'm to blame
Anxiety wears a veilThe silence covered those lies
And I'm drowning underneath
Stuck in these old swampy thoughts
Suffocating words unleashed
Like a breach tearing the shade
Used to say what haunts a mind
Burned a candle at both ends
From the depths, I'm doomed to cryThrough the grave of the man
Left for dead, a talking mind
Unsaid things buried alive
Fears like ravens above my head
Reminding me I'm to blame
Anxiety wears a veil
Cry through the grave of the man
Left for dead, a talking mind
Unsaid things buried alive
Fears like ravens above my head
Reminding me I'm to blame
Anxiety wears a veilEvery second I counted seemed to last for hours
See my body lying here and thus rot like flowers
This battle can't be failed, I shall not heed the ache
Is a prayer hopeless? Lord, hallowed be thy nameLocked in this tomb, a mound of dirt
Where it's hard for me to breathe
Here, I get what I deserve
For too long, I've tried to flee
But I won't keep death in sight
And I won't be the one who bleeds
With a demon, I must fight
May avenge me or be killed
Buried deep down and overwhelmed
Numbed by all these swampy thoughts
'til regrets come again to knell
Water's running where I lieThrough the grave of the man
Left for dead, a talking mind
Unsaid things buried alive
Fears like ravens above my head
Reminding me I'm to blame
Anxiety wears a veil
Cry through the grave of the man
Left for dead, a talking mind
Unsaid things buried alive
Fears like ravens above my head
Reminding me I'm to blame
Anxiety wears a veilMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

04. Laugh to hide you're stained
3:27
Today, it's time for you to realize,
Now that your troubles and your past entwine,
Used to play with devils by your side
Guess who'll never see the flame back in her eyes?
Cover up the wounds you'd rather forget,
Fake a close-lipped smile containing Hell
Mask the marble stone armored heart
The bleeding hole will grow deeper and bitter(Laugh to hide you're stained)
Today, you need to face yourself, for once
Kneel down and clear fears of inner thoughts
The words that never came straight from your mouth
Burn the veils and name what you wanna fight
Try to hide the mark, but it won't fade
Lie, although we foreknow how stories end
Doorless walls you built, the poison in your veins
Confusing what's real with what you pretend(Laugh to hide you're stained)
You laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
You laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
You laugh to hide you're stainedFor feast and lust, I would take the blame
When it comes to sins, you've got five of them
I've watched your deeds and words, and saw nothing true
Not a clean spot stands out on scars you paint
Thrill to honesty, mean the things you do
If you keep denying them, I'll keep belying them
Hope you'll find the key, so stuck at your dead end
Do you feel your winter's near? You're on this path again(Laugh to hide you're stained)
So, laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
You laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
Laugh to hide you're stained
You laugh to hide you're stained(Laugh to hide you're stained)

05. Sigh of death
5:24
Today you're sad, and you wanna die
'cause you're alone
The devil's blue on the roads you roam
The faith is gone
They sought any wound or reason why
You've crossed the paths of many liars
Rock bottom reached, see what scarred your heart
And hear the sigh of every beat that hurts(Every beat that hurts)
Ain't shadow flees under the light
Death's always near
The blame's on the hands that black hounds bite
And it won't heal
Through winding trails of mountain heights
Through the deepest hell where the darkness lies
You bore your stone, your cross, your pain
O thorn-crowned lamb, the winter cursed your days(And you've gone astray)
And cry, the silence floods tonight
Heed the sighs that keep faith in prayers
Ease your scars from pain
The devils shout within, aren't they?
A voice meant to lead you depressed
And back on the roads that elders taught you well
'til the day you find yourself alone
(until you're gone)The wreck will sink as the waters rise
Beneath the sands
And sharp are the waves of a broken glass
But in the end...
When the surface seems far, and what floods back stains
Like haunting memories that refuse to fade
With thoughts as foes, it seems the battle's vain
If you ever leave, know that I will understand(I will understand)
And cry, the silence floods tonight
Heed the sighs that keep faith in prayers
Ease your scars from pain
The devils shout within, aren't they?
A voice meant to lead you depressed
And back on the roads that elders taught you well
'til the day you find yourself alone
Like a spirit, a ghost
And cryMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

06. Redemption
3:51
There were days you'd rather hide than be true
And here, your lies continue
At a dead-end road, can't you feel the agony?Tell me your nights are sleepless,
No matter how you regret
Tell me you cried and never felt so ashamedSo break my trust
And spit out the tale I foreknow
Break my trust
Or confess all your sins for your redemptionThere were times one lie covered another lie
Could you look me in the eye
And utter a word without your throat on fire?There's nothing worse than secrets
Dishonesty wastes your breath
You'll end up trapped with no way to backtrackSo break my trust
And spit out the tale I foreknow
Break my trust
Or confess all your sins for your redemptionThen look me in the eye right now
Guess if I'll realize your real lies?
Don't you mind if I try?
See how easily I realize your real liesSo break my trust
And spit out the tale I foreknow
Break my trust
Or confess all your sins for your redemption
So break my trust
And spit out the tale I foreknow
Break my trust
Or confess all your sins for your redemptionMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

07. [N]
2:06
Never forget the words they said to you
Never forgive the violence they imposed on you
Never forgive the scorn they had for you
Never forget that black look. Are they still watching you?
Never forget the games those fucking bastards played
Never forgive the insults they used to say
Never forget their fucking faces that you hated
Never forget their names, then blame them againHatin' them isn't a choice
Answers won't decrease your shame
Indeed there's rage in your arms
Never push them to their
EndsMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

08. Seethe and destroy
3:40
The lightning strikes - Behold the red horseman's sword
Granted to take peace and corrupt the soul
The unmuzzled beast could dash things by saying so
Slaughter begins, build your armor or begoneStifling silence creeps before the destruction
Protect the ruins and deflect attention
The pressure mounts and flames ignite the eyes
Shadows grow long, got black clouds right by my sidesThunder rumbles as anger cracks the skies
Roars of battle monsters I kept inside
Seethe and destroy, injustice in sight
Cry out for Gods - The answer will be warNow pours the hail - I know you're full of regrets
This should break you down and reveal our sins
If I got one, you're so back to the wall
The vision blurred, caught in the eye of the stormHowl in a fury like a banshee's scream
Let bursts of rage herald the untamed gale beneath
Ready to surge, unleashing endless wrath
Chaos of Hell shit-stirs in the dead of nightThunder rumbles as anger cracks the skies
Roars of battle monsters I kept inside
Seethe and destroy, injustice in sight
Cry out for Gods - The answer will be warHatred, I've told you before
Black dog by which I'll succumb
Forseen the dead things I prayed for
Plague's red but pale complexionSeethe and destroy
In pulverem reverteris - O Lord
Seethe and destroy
Old blazing blades, behold the seven swordsFire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!Music & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

09. Forgive me
3:06
As everything goes well,
I should remain the one you blame
And no matter what the cause,
I crossed rivers on purposeIs everything goin' well?
Up on the stage, a smile on the face
But torn like a bone between jaws
Through tears, this mask will erodeIt's breaking me down
Breaking me down
It's breaking me down
Breaking me downBreaking me down
It's breaking me down
Breaking me down
It's breaking me down(Please, forgive me)
Did everything go well?
I ripped my soul, a shard's left for sale
And I'll wait 'til Death brings her sword
The last battle fought aloneMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

10. Cold
2:56
I'm cold,
As cold as a graveyard stone,
A war that no one told
The long-gone star unnamed
I stand where the angels fall
Yet, I'm coldAm I dead or buried alive? Yeah, I'm dead
From anxious times to indifference
Considering the things I have left
There's a worse way to dieWell, I'm sick
I'm so sick and tired, it's hopeless
I swear to God I tried my best
There's only one end when depressed :
Waiting 'til you dieI'm cold,
As cold as a graveyard stone,
A war that no one told
The long-gone star unnamed
I'm waiting...
I'm cold,
As cold as a graveyard stone,
A war that no one told
The long-gone star unnamed
I'm wasting it all...Am I dead or buried alive? Yeah, I'm dead
From anxious times to indifference
Considering the things I have left
There's a worse way to die
Yeah, I'm dead
Not buried alive, nope, I'm dead
From anxious times to indifference
Considering the things I have left
There's a worse way to die
I'm deadMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

11. Heathen of unforgiving faith
4:08
Welcome to my desired funeral
Mourners' black clothes, faces pale as bone
Grim voices chant in a macabre hymn
Whispers of lost damned eternal cryptShovel the dirt, find my art and stuff
The chest's required, buried like a heart
And one last thing, a little request:
Hold my skull safe, then burn the restBlood's my ink, cursed and sealed
By testament and willThrough ashes, see my secrets rise
Find scattered seeds tightly between lines
Cover mirrors cause I won't reflect
Wraiths of my past, in the dark, they'll dwellCrows' caw aside, a misty silence
Their mournful dirge heralds my sentence
Dark memories fade in the flickering flames
Yet back to dust, a ghost with scars remainsI'm haunting on the hill
Condemned by scorn and sinHeathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faithMom's wails aside - If she's there and laments
The forlorn son, eternally absent
As shards of scorn, gathered 'round my neck
The flowers rot where oblivion nestsLook back through the ruins locked behind my walls
Bomb-erased fields better left ignored
While the vultures squabble in the pouring rain
Conceal my keys, rusted by regretsWith dawn will come our relief
A last word sets the sceneHeathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faithBlood's my ink, cursed and sealed
By testament and willHeathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faithHeathens are better off dead
(Heathen) Hallowed be thy name
(Heathen) I'm better off dead
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faith
Heathen of unforgiving faithMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

12. Blood rain
5:42
Blood rain over my head
It's a rain of angel's ashes
When every cloud relieved that sky
Barely shocked by the reel
That shattered my dreams, scattered their realm
These chains made something dying inside meIs my life built by all those lies?
With all these devils by my side
Childhood lost in painful sighs
If I'd known... I missed what I should've foundBlood rain is fallin' in my head
In that silence, so does the death
When there is nobody around to cry
Here, the sun is gone and the flowers rot
Winds are calling for the end of Fall
As winter is back, it came to wreck me downSo, am I built by all those lies?
I'll keep these devils by my side
A lifetime lost in painful sighs
If I'd known... I missed what I should've foundBlood rain over my head
It's a rain of angel's ashes
When every cloud relieved that sky
All my dreams have turned into fears
My hands bloodied, I fought what's buried
At least, this rain will wash away what hurtsCry, now, thus let me die
Can't you see me burnin'? Somehow,
The hail and raindrops couldn't be enough
On my knees in the midst of storms
Seein' my body bruised without its soul
I never thought I'd have to go through this aloneMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

13. The sound of the silence
4:18
You hear it - Quiet but so loud inside
Forced to lie still and blind
Whitened by those lights
Can't you hear it? Quiet...Opened eyes and mind overwhelmed
Crying so loudly - Silence is deaf
Utopia? Threads hanging from your veins
Hope you'll be alive if you wake up a day
Behind the door there's nothing. You're done!
Roaming wins on the time and leaves you alone
Peace-sellers disconnect our brain
Lobotomies make the world clean and safeWith every breath I take, drugs delude my pain
And with many lights ahead, the world feels erased
Nothing in the head, all's well that ends well
No one is the prettiest - At least, we're sinlessSee, your view is cut off by the bars
Staring out the window, there, all day long
Don't forget the asylum, the hex
Look around and try to find who's the next
Push the door and see the butcher's shop
Nothing's gonna change in this savages' world
Crying so loudly - Silence is deaf
Eyes open to the prisons that have made us safeTake care, this is the sound of the silence
Be aware, in the gaps dive all their sighs
When all is closed and the walls are dumb
The suffering is kept unknownWith every breath I take, drugs delude my pain
And with many lights ahead, the world feels erased
Nothing in the head, all's well that ends well
No one is the prettiest - At least, we're sinless
People in my head, I've got a lot of friends
Yet, one flew - I swear - over the cuckoo's nest
Violence to brain cells forced us to forget
Thanks to madmen's safes, their world is the cleanestTrapped, inside this cage
You know what? You were!
Try to save your name
Don't look at what you have to forgetBehind the door there's nothing. You're done
We'll never hear you scream, all's closed and walls are dumb
Don't forget the asylum, the hex
Look around and try to find who's the next
Push the door and see the butcher's shop
Nothing's gonna change in this savages' world
Opened eyes and mind overwhelmed
Crying so loudly - Silence is deafPush the door and see the butcher's shop
Nothing's gonna change in this savages' world
A therapy that pretty lies hide well :
Lobotomies make the world clean and safe
Their ECTs disconnect our brains
Drooling old zombies, that's all that remains
Wandering alone in a cold, dark corner
'til they disappear - Let's hope they get betterWith every breath I take, drugs delude my pain
And with many lights ahead, the world feels erased
Nothing in the head, all's well that ends well
No one is the prettiest - At least, we're sinless
Thanks to madmen's safes, their world is the cleanest
Yet, one flew - I swear - over the cuckoo's nest
People in my head, I've got a lot of friends
Violence to brain cells - So what? Then, forget us...Music & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

14. The seventh thirst for truth
4:32
Here come the lights of a new dawn
From nothingness rise the ignored
Until the lies are all known
The whispers will writhe behind the veil
The curse: wrath and tragedy
Silence leads to agony
Between fightin' again or flee
Choose a way to break freeWords as weapons - We hoped for
Yet unsaid things became wounds
Oh, something that had been sworn
I should have avoided it like the plague
The mouth full of lies and sins:
The hidden unfairnesses
False witness as a remedy
Somehow the truth is your sole fearThen here we are, there's one of us who lied
And the other one sees the unfair side of life
Face up to your faults among those who cried wolf
Through deeds and words - A lie wrecks all truthsAny last will or confession?
Quavering tone in omen
Seek the truth to new horizons
Or trust the light in this cave
The curse - forgotten prophecy
Silence - soothing melody
Between fightin' again or flee
We all know the truth is your sole fearThen dread the witness of your sins
Unveiled, the snake always flees
The face I see through sleepless nights
What's buried inside, in pain, rises
Be prepared for warThen here we are, there's one of us who lied
And the other one sees the unfair side of life
Face up to your faults among those who cried wolf
Through deeds and words - A lie wrecks all truthsMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

15. Eternal night · Bonus track
9:01
We lay down on top of this hill
Our hearts in the grass, our hair in the wind
Nothing disturbed the quietness of this night
We're just alone without no daylightUpon this hill, we could see the truth
With the same innocence as when we were youths
And as if the time had decided to start a new childhood
To share with us moments we thought goodWhat if tomorrow begins
This night will still live in our heads
Just like this feeling of love that we shared hand in hand
The stars talked about us between themAnd the words from your mouth made me dream
I wouldn't untie my eyes off your lips
With you, love sounds like a lullaby
Because it's a dream or an endless nightSo we can try to escape the time
But shall we stay forever astray?
The fools who think "You'll always be mine"
Well, it led us to Never-never landBabe, it's a dream that I wanna live
With nobody else but you
Under the stars, lying naked like
Two souls who are living an eternal night
We'll dream (We'll dream)Then I look into your eyes and I see
The prettiest sapphires, stolen from the sea
A love at first sight, a fire, the sole light in this night
The sky may be longing for its starsWhat if tomorrow comes on?
Together, we shall remain as one
No matter if the moon decides to take back her light
Our love can live even if we're blindWhat if tomorrow begins
This night will still live in our heads
Just like this feeling of love that we shared hand in hand
We'll never come back from Never-never landHere, it's a dream that I wanna live
With nobody else but you
Under the stars, lying naked like
Two souls who are living an eternal night
We'll dream (We'll dream)Music & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

16. Eternal night II · Bonus track
5:06
Burned by the flames like a heathen
I told 'em lies to set my heart free
Who's gonna dwell on words but my demons?
Are my eyes starin' back at me?Those haunting voices sound real
All my thoughts turn into nightmares
Doomed to feel judged and crushed by the ceiling
Pace up and down like a bird in a cageHealin' the hell and the darkness
Cold like a man who buried his rage
Sanity needs a place in the quiet
To keep wrestlin' with the madness I must tameBut the light inside me still flickers
Overloaded, I'm burning bright
Before time sweeps away my desires
I swallow poison meant to make me dieRise through an eternal night
Where the Devil's pride
Is nothing but the pain of what keeps me alive
Climb from the wrecked inside
The shadows I can't hide
Are nothing but the pain feeding on my mindThe words from my mouth make me sick
'cause I used to keep this curse underneath
And ruthless nights spent twistin' and turnin'
Prevent me from blazin' like I didLived like a king - burned too fast
I've played with demons, but they stirred deep inside
Faked confidence, becomin' the liar
How I miss the days when my meanest sin was prideThose haunting voices sound real
All my thoughts decay into nightmares
For the first time, my passions consumed me
For the last time, the fire reigns in HellRise through an eternal night
Where the Devil's pride
Is nothing but the pain of what keeps me alive
Climb from the wrecked inside
The shadows I can't hide
Are nothing but the pain feeding on my mind
Keepin' the death in sight
The truth buried in a lie
'cause nothing but this pain is tearin' me apart
Down to the wrecked inside
With the shadows I can't hide
Nothing's gonna change - Get out of my mindThose haunting voices sound real
All my thoughts break into nightmares
Tearin' apart the sealed and the buried
It's pullin' me down - get me out of HellRise through an eternal night
Where the Devil's pride
Is nothing but the pain of what keeps me alive
Climb from the wrecked inside
The shadows I can't hide
Are nothing but the pain feeding on my mind
Keepin' the death in sight
The truth buried in a lie
'cause nothing but this pain is tearin' me apart
Down to the wrecked inside
With the shadows I can't hide
Nothing's gonna change - Get out of my mindMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly

17. The last wish remains · Bonus track
3:20
Will it be my last home, my last rest?
This cold place that Darkness infests
Won't you save me, the faithful one?
Hear me fallin' from grace and defile the lawnFinal words from those who cried
Mourn in silence, as we know we're condemned
No more dreams, no hope, or wishes
Anxious present, no future, poor pastThey'll end, here, right beneath this grave
And I hope that forever and a day the last wish remainsO Mighty God! O Father!
Dear old friends who caused a ghost's birth
Won't you stay beside me while I
Put a curse on your names? O perish the thought!As I'm ending, here, right beneath this grave
And I hope that forever and a day the last wish remainsMusic & lyrics by : Alyn White McHelly
