Overseers
04:43

They wear a cold and dull mask
To hide their rotting face
They scheme and bask
In shameful golden place
Once locked in their heart
The thirst for pelf they freed
Ripped late virtues apart
And feeds their unending greed
I see the dour lords
Sprawled on their gilded thrones
I hear their swords
Scraping against my bones
Their tongues are linked
By a sole thread to their brains
Will soon be extinct
A World kept in chains
They hide their idle face
While seeking gold's embrace
And denying the word’s grace
Don't follow the voices
Of the corrupt prophets
Don’t feed their vices
Nor their quest for profits
Pulling the strings
Behind the screens
They make kings
They make queens
Rise and fall
Conspire and brawl
The overseers

Children of the Dust
03:08
|

We're all born in a garbage dump
Raised around radiation
We’re all born in a rust-red dust
Me and my boys roam the streets
Running out of guns
Maybe we're a bunch of deadbeats
But we are tough
That's the only fucking way
To survive another day
That's the only fucking way
To survive another day
Dust and rust
All around us
Dust and rust
In our guts and heart
World has fallen apart
From now on we are
The Children of the Dust
Struck by a wind gust
My father is gone
He was just
A fortune’s pawn
No one to trust
From dusk ‘till dawn
From dusk ‘till dawn
Shattered like an abstract work
Towers drown in the murk
Dust and rust
In our guts and heart
World has fallen apart
From now on we are
Children of the Dust
We don’t have to tell you
What we do to survive
How we rule ours
We can’t show some mercy
Maybe we're a bunch of deadbeats
But we are tough
That's the only fucking way
To survive another day

Hollow

Getting through the heavy rain
Empty head
Lifeless eyes ringed by red
Tediousness has filled his brain
Walks his way the machine-man
Through the endless day
Streets and shoes, the same grey
On a static plan
Stride, dead inside
The hollow men walk the Earth
Sharing the one and same heart
Cold as stone, old as Death
Civilization falls apart
Stride, dead inside
The hollow men walk the Earth
Sharing the one and same heart
Cold as stone, old as Death
Civilization falls apart
Caged in metallic skulls
Modern mind fades within silence
Withering away like seagulls
In the dark horizons
Threatening the existence
Of billions bleeding diamonds
Poor mortals
Doomed to build an age
Made of crystal
After their own image
A vile circle
Stride, Dead Inside

Demons in the Sky
05:34

When I was a child I mustn’t go outside
They spoke about something evil lurked in the clouds
Through the eyes of the kid I was I pictured some demons
Demons in the Sky
My mother kept telling me
“Don’t play outside
Some mean creatures lurk in the sky
They want to eat your flesh
They want to burn your eyes”
Demons in the sky, nuclear fallout and acid rain
Demons in the sky, nuclear fallout and acid rain
Demons
Demons in the sky, eternal infection
One day my friend
Came back from the black pond
His skin, burnt, pierced with holes
They said
“He was bitten by the devils
He's infected
He can’t be saved”
God has forsaken this world
Clouds are flying low
Blazed in radiation
Ashes fall as snow
On these lands of starvation
Clouds are flying low
Blazed in radiation
Ashes fall as snow
On these lands of starvation
When I was a child I mustn’t go outside
They told me the sky is deadly
Clouds are flying low
Blazed in radiation
Ashes fall as snow
On these lands of starvation
Clouds
Are flying low
Ashes fall as snow
On these lands of starvation
Demons in the sky, nuclear fallout and acid rain
Demons in the sky, nuclear fallout and acid rain
Demons
Demons in the sky, eternal infection
All my brothers were born dead and difformed
The last one had the black mark
Demons in the sky
Reflects of our kind

Cries of the Voiceless
02:44
|
|||
The world is silent
But in my dreams I hear their screams
The wingless bird croaks nevermore
The drowned fish gasps in agony
The famished beast doesn’t howl anymore
The naked tree slumbers in eternal winter
The world is silent
But can you hear them
Can you hear the cries of the voiceless

The Flesh Harvest
03:37

Tear you apart
Harvest organs
No wasted life
Nothing to cast aside
Surgical art
Living carbon
Cut with a knife
Your precious and dying hide
Face your senescence
Your very own essence
Will keep living through host bodies
You shall sing at your own threnody
Join the circle of the Undying
Don’t end up in Hell fire
Refuse to expire
Carve your flesh
And thresh your fading skin
Turn your lifeline upside down
Drown or burn your apprehension
You’ll never be erased
No waste, no tears
Once cut in pieces
You'll feel no fear
Face your senescence
Your very own essence
Will keep living through host bodies
You shall sing at your own threnody
The Flesh Harvest
Turn your lifeline upside down
Drown or burn your apprehension

Ride with the Wind
06:15
|

Riders from the shattered world
Doomsday has come and gone
Weapons have hurled
Death on your home
Now is the time to face your fate
And to sublime your devouring hate
Conquerors of the sands
Rise, unleash your rage
Ride with in the wind
You’re no longer pinned
By cities' cage
There's a dream in your head
Ride with in the wind
Everything else is dead
No borders in sight
Endless wastelands you roam
A path to transcend
Asphalt and chrome
Into the wall we rode
While Mother cried
We never never slowed
Led by our pride
Rise, unleash your rage
Ride with in the wind
You’re no longer pinned
By cities' cage
There's a dream in your head
Ride with in the wind
Riders of the storm
Gather your swarm
And rekindle the flame
Of broken hopes
New worlds to claim
Beyond the slopes
Beyond the roads
Of vanished gods
Riders of the storm
Gather your swarm
And rekindle the flame
In no man’s land
There is no chain
Only the rain
Will hear you sing
Now spread your wings
And cross the sands
To reach the edge
Of the bruised Earth
Riders from the world
Doomsday has come
Weapons have hurled
Death on your home
Now is the time
To face your fate
And to sublime
Your devoring hate
Rise, unleash your rage
Ride, ride with the wind
Ride, unleash your rage
Ride, ride with the wind
Wastelands you roam
A path to transcend
Asphalt and chrome
This is the end
Rise, unleash your rage
Ride, ride with the wind
Ride, unleash your rage
Ride, ride with the wind

Crimson Dusk
04:10
|
|||
The arms of Sol no longer rise
No more gold hand to reach our eyes
The sun is gone, that good old friend
Behind the clouds, blend in smog
Only a crimson dusk
Recalls his memory
Like a bleeding ghost
Lost on reveries
The sun is gone (oh far away), that good old friend (that good old friend)
Behind the clouds (behind the clouds), blend in the smog
Lying on the skyline
Rests a deadstar
In shades of wine
It seems so far
The sun is gone, that good old friend
Behind the clouds, blend with the smog
Only a crimson dusk
Recalls his memory
Like a bleeding ghost
Lost on reveries
The sun is gone (oh far away), that good old friend (that good old friend)
Behind the clouds (behind the clouds), blend in the smog
Crimson Dusk
The sun is gone, that good old friend
Behind the clouds, blend with the smog
Only a crimson dusk
Recalls his memory
Like a bleeding ghost
Lost on reveries

Extinction
04:00

Vestiges des êtres du passé
Croulants sous un silence de cendres et de sang
Une terre définie par l’absence des disparus
Ruisselante de souvenirs brisés, esseulés, irradiés, gémissants
Submergée par la mort
De sa faune et sa flore
Une planète en deuil
L’univers pour cercueil
Et l’orgueil comme bourreau
Extinction
Seule demeure la mémoire des spectres
Extinction
L’absence règne en maître
Un désert éternel au dessus de cavernes de métal
Un cimetière pour demeure et la pourriture pour repas
Un dernier chant funèbre pour fuir l’asphyxie mentale
Extinction
Seule demeure l’absence
Extinction
Seule règne la mort
Submergée par la mort
De sa faune et sa flore
Une planète en deuil
L’univers pour cercueil
Et l’orgueil comme bourreau
