The hordes of instincts stand tall To the will of the maniacal Its mind is boiling angered And open to strike Black's your only existence It's only you and me now And much to your dismay Your rights are worthless Feel pain My cross will bear for My cacoethe choices And a few strikes from this perfect blade Feel the weight of my own Empire Strapped and forced to listen Echoes of Babylon
2.
Misery is dripping from the skies Sadness emitted from oceans Stress our master, our domination Gets out of the way The angry god soon meets his own demise A gift most fitting for the unwise And as the storm evaporates Blue spirit accumulates Out comes Nothingness "I bring fourth The way to be Happy, all free Uncaged, unrestrained From the chains of reality" Look in to her eyes and apologize To the goddess of none for not realizing You've been obsessing over pointless things Protruding blackness from the inside Burn contraptions that you love Feel nothing, you'll see Come clean, from deities Were made to match distress Seek it out, the template of nothingness You've been through so much but there's still lots to do Just listen to my voice and I'll walk you through When we escape from this world Above from these skies and these oceans We shall live happy forever We'll see the seeds of the ages Embracing the nothingness Nothing is my master now A different life awaits I won't lie I'm so scared

Cope 03:36
People are born without feet and hands And still achieve more than we could have dreamed You complain, a hypocrite you've became Kidding yourself for another day I like to blame Everyone else but me I want to reframe The standards of society Images and videos will fly upon the air An illness rationalized is growing Masking our despair I know how I feel I'm happy and that is all that is true To me a false state appeals Don't need to prove myself to you Cope with your illusion And take the fall

Flisvus 05:00
The sea her waves, mysterious ways One man cannot get it all Through waters of cold I'll search and maybe I will fall Destined to pursue Coming back to you Understanding the ways to be Becoming one force with the sea First attempt proved to be Cold and unwelcoming Rebuild my strength so I can bring To try again in the morning Starting to lose faith Stuck in this never-ending trial I will try forever This time will be different Please leave me in your world Don't throw me back Miraculous waves Beating my chest Until I find the answers my love I will not rest I will drown in your sea of bliss But I'm too good to fall for this I've been wrong all along You were not worth to die for A different sea will give me more

Lay down and sleep Just try tonight Maybe I won't come visit you again this time Tormented prayers Failed you once more Now you just stay still Let your soul will be torn Pray be strong Trembling Be alert It will not come Creeping past your faith Into your door You won't stop me You want nothing more I'm afraid Best to stay In the light It'll go away Jump, fall, end, down in hell Do it now, I told you so Can I trust it It seems it is not lying And without this life I won't be crying It is my friend now And I believe it Going up to fall is the way The way onward, down The demon sits Beside my bed The demon is Inside my head
7.
We did not tell you to do this We're not devouring your inner self Erinyes fed from your mind Tell it's time to climb the stairs Step by step, I feel no fear closing in As I see the ground below my distant feet Look I'm standing so tall Before I take the fall Despair will tear them apart When they see all the blood You've been lying to me Alone with you I should not be Feeding panic and fear You win, my end is near They won't know the pain you felt in the slightest Your name will not be heard, you are forgotten! Are you ready or not To take your first last fall This is no mistake You've been pushed to your fate Falling slow Rethinking Regretting My fall I will live eternally None will ever See me leave
8.
A scream Will split the sky in two For all The time you made me lose Don't drink from this well it's poisoned Turned my back to honesty Another day is ruined Another day, fed to the wrong Come back to me when the urge says "hate" Fire me up and split the sky The mind won't forget the time you pushed him away Twice on the one hundred and ninetieth day Remember those times you made him feel so bad Dare forget this, you won't Janus Which tongue will it be today I know I've been a liar You left me with one choice I find it hard to speak my mind Against two faces Another mind eruption And it's all poured on me One day I'll melt away You won't see me again Be aware of what you say to me
9.
Synapses aware To no-one but air Roots of flesh they see From beneath our feet One grand entity It can sense and feel Eyes are red from tears Can't believe its real It just knows It just knows Mother knows Mother knows There is no foe There is no foe There is no foe Why can't they know There are no foes Can't you hear me crying out Can't you see them dying Can't you rid indifference Can't we live in harmony Can't you see the warning signs Can't you mend my lesions Spare the lies and hear my call Tear through the membranes Closer to the core From where I heard The moans from deep below "Please stay, hold me Deep within your heart They hurt me with Their callousness So I tell you this" Did not hear me crying out Did not see them dying Did not do when it was time Did not see the warning signs Did not learn from past mistakes Mother bursts, carries our shame Can't you see, you're to blame You're to blame

Violated 08:19
Justified a love of the unripe The pictured is not enough One's son, savored Licked, the taste of iron Be quiet, we'll play a game Don't tell them or you'll get the blame What is this game That was supposed to make me feel good Please don't touch me Is this right? Should I just play along? Please just leave me And take a look at your face through the Eyes of the lens Ashamed of the pain you inflicted Why are you doing this to me? Why am I hurting so much? Why would you touch me? Is this the end now? When I get there I will tell Him Where were you then Dear Abba

about

Sublimation is a word that bears two distinct meanings. In chemistry, it is the transition of a solid object directly to its gas phase while in Psychology it is a type of defense mechanism where the negative instincts and impulses are channeled into something positive and creative. Both meanings relate in some way to what this album is about. Metaphorically, in the first sense, it is the way in which we compose our music. It is a disruptive process since we try to deconstruct various musical conventions and experiment with structure, odd time signatures, ‘weird’ polyrhythms etc while at the same time trying to make it listenable and accessible. In the second sense, our lyrics are quite often negatively charged, addressing very difficult subject matters but are channeled through the music in such a way that at least we consider it as beautiful.
