Dolor Ex Altera

You're planet does not rotate...
Steady as rock in desert...
Days and night don't operate...
Sun is forever set...
Silent storms at smaller scale…
Raging within all your cells...
Inside damages unveiled...
When despair can't be expelled...
Stranded, where you are, lonely among burning stars
Out of reach from your own kind who cannot help you this far
The burden you must carry, is a weight i cannot see
The prison where you reside, has not route for me to find
The war that you must fight, calls no glory only fright
No virtuous battle that get issues settled
Adversaries are virtuous, make you grow when arduous,
But enemy is vicious, and sucks up your main resource
The war that you must fight, has no victory at sight
Whatever it will unfold, will be desperately cold
The devil makes no mistake, Your life that is at stake,
Try your best not to break, hold on to it for your sake
Ex Altera….
Infinite oceans of loneliness make your journey
Throughout distant galaxies, unreachable by my means,
A part of your misery, i can never share and carry
It happens too far from me, in a place where i can't be

Steel For Flesh
04:46
|
|||
|
Following orders,
Craftmens of death,
Breaking lives by will,
iron and steel eating bodies
Collapse of hope
Drive by war
Accept this fate
Steel for Flesh
No feeling, no esperance,
No choice for fate
Iron and steel eating bodies
There's no escape for us,
There's only ashes, mud and dust.
A sea of tears become a swamp of bones
By the will of industry's fangs
War become Art, War Become salt of suffering,
Chaos bringers, we're World Eaters
And here, there's only pain
No glory there,
Only dark shapes
who disappear in madness
Monster against children
Forget your child tales
Submission for wolves and orphans
No feeling, no esperance,
No choice for fate
Iron and steel eating bodies
There's no escape for us,
There's only ashes, mud and dust.
Steel... for Flesh... Steel... for Flesh...

Creation
04:23

|
Your hands are tied, even if they can move freely around you
Freedom is bright, dear to your heart, essential in your view
But this ain't right, you're my puppet, what i order you must do
Your will has died, there's nothing in you that I
Can't
Read
Through
Deep inside us, a connection made of blood and pus
Flesh will bind us, love me even through my tortures
I have revealed, the beauty of your inner goddess
You were nothing, i've made from you a perfect
Creation
I ... held you … prisoner… for years,
Starved ... soiled …. beaten… reduced to tears,
One by one… removed … your organs,
Replaced by .. cables … and programs,
As more metal... is ...inserted,
You progressively accept the need…
To proceed.
Creation!
Bio-mechanical slaves
Deprived of their will power ...
Will raise up in a new a wave,
Of cold-blooded killers
You are ready to go, I watch you and I contemplate
The might of your potential, the beauty of your fate
You are the torrent water, to cleanse dirt of this world
I've made you perfect my heir, my beast, my child,
My creation…

Behind The Mask
04:45
|
|||
|
Behind the mask that's
Reflecting what you want to see
I taste these feelings
That throb in my breast
Only guided by my instinct,
All senses awakening
Seeking my place
Among the preys
Behind the mask of submission
That's Brooding heat of desire
Soul full of bitterness
Facing the mirror of madness
And excitement of the hunt.
Hunter wandering
Hunger is feeling
The hunting can begin
The inevitability of your end
Can be read in the reflection of your eyes
I feel like my own god
Your fear sharpens my will
My word is the last thing you will hear
For you I would write a symphony of bloody chills
I will cut your throat
Only ashes in gentle lies
I flee from my fellow men
And groom my urge
My spirit roams for this moment,
Reality lost its meaning
At the end, there's only a dark legacy
To host my whispers,
I tasted a primal freedom,
I Watched behind reality
Scattered dust of my humanity
Melts into this kingdom of appearance
And drawing a circle of probity
Hide my dominance by your ignorance
At Night Comes the eater
At the end, there's only a dark legacy
To host my whispers,
I tasted a primal freedom,
Taking you down
I will perish.
Behind the mask that's
Reflecting what you want see
I taste these feelings
That throb in my breast
Only guided by my instinct,
All senses awakening
Seeking my place
Among the prey

Kult
05:01
|
|||
|
Kaisers of the new kind have no knives or machine gun
Ultimate dictators will be those providing fun
Love and hate to be replaced, by "likes" and "thumbs"
Transform humanity in a group of deviant dumbs
Killers of the new kind dont take life they rather drive
Us away from the story nature wrote for mankind
Lessons learned from history should have warned us not to seek
The eternal life, with medecine that make us sick
Kult!
Upgrade weak humans to higher version
Lost masses without a vision
Transcending their obscolescence
KULT! new dogma, new religion
KULT! no escape from my dominion
KULT! fostering ego, and isolation
KULT! my freedom rooted in your prison
Keep away from promises of easy emancipation
Uniform and simple minds easily buy in oblivion
Lonely elite facing the new Kult of progress and stardom
That will make mankind fall out of the border of reason
KULT!

Equinoxe
04:01
|
|||
|
Twice per solar rotation…
Cosmic dance of planets,
Unites day and night...
In a perfect balance,
Delivering harmony…
In their opposition
Bringing equilibrium...
To all known elements,
Grounded in reality, or your future is lost
But dream beyond limits, it makes life worth the cost
Too kind is shortsighted, but puppets are manipulated
Give way to your hatred, humanity gone wasted
Those seeking power, strength, light or truth
Should not think in terms absolute
Every quest pursued without reason
Brings you too close to the edge, … and beyond
Equinoxe, meridian of oppositions
Equinoxe, undisputed dual vision
Equinoxe, forces climax in confrontation
Equinoxe.
Water evaporates and freeze
But life grows only in between
Because median through the edges
Brings higher value than extremes
Don't pursue foolish uniqueness
Rise up through your completeness
Darkness and light both meaningful
When they're combined in... our … soul
...Equinoxe.

The End Of All Things
04:22
|
|||
|
Wolves, stalk preys relentless
Kill, with no evil breath
Feast, blood is meaningless
Life self-perpetuates
Continuous movement,
Of waves of new life forms,
No real end ever seen
When there's a new beginning
The great continuum is calling,
All our names, we will be hearing
The wheel of existence
Turns grave into craddle
Spawning life from ashes
Of every lost battle
Wolf, stalks preys relentless
Filled, from someone else's death
Runs, and lead its own race
Satisfied of where it gets
But victory is pointless
No difference it will make
Whatever life bestows
Is reprocessed in its flows
The great continuum is calling,
To make space we must be dying…
The wheel of existence
Turns grave into craddle
Spawning life from ashes
Of every lost battle
The wheel of existence
Offers eternal presence
To lifeform that transcends
Individual irrelevance
The end
The end
The end
The end
When we have lost the will of renewing
Then we have come to the end of all things…
When we have lost the will of renewing
Then we have come to the end of all things...
When we have lost the will of renewing
Then we have come to the end of all things…
When we have lost the will of renewing
Then we have come to the end of all things...

Walking Virus
04:46
|
|||
|
Walking Running crawling and hoping,
Useless movements from our siblings,
Wandering around in obscure space
Tired already of our pointless race
Walking Running crawling and suffering,
Why being forced to a shameful living?
High price to pay for every good thing,
Nothing comes without compromising
What's
The
Purpose
Of the journey of existence
Beginning and end in convergence
Running around chasing a reason
But it's wiser just to reckon
If a higher being set it all for us
It would have given a real purpose
Transcend our flesh, grow intelligence
Maybe a collective common sense?
But none of what we ever achieved
Deserve mercy to be granted
Humanity clutched to its flesh
And doomed itself to filthy plague
From the ashes of our past
We've come a great way back to the start
Generations, one after the other
Brought nothing but pain and
Horror
What we deserved, we got
Forever witness the
Consequences of our pride,
Turned into disease, no cure,
We are the wound in our own flesh
Oh cruel fate...
We've sunk deep in blood and hate...
Out of eden garden...
To the point of becoming a
Walking virus scourging spaces and time
Swallow life-force of the other kind
Walking virus we became, and we remain
For there's no cure to our decadent reign
Walking virus scourging spaces and time
There is no cure that we will ever find
None of what we ever achieved
Deserve mercy to be granted
Humanity clutched to its flesh
And doomed itself to filthy plague
Oh cruel fate...
We've sunk deep in blood and hate...
Out of eden garden...
We took ourselves to the point of no return
Now hear my words and fulfill your potential
One chain link is stronger than the en-sem-ble,
Our flaws add up when grouped together,
Cure yourself alone and elevates with pride and honor.
Honor

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10
