The Stranded
Album • 2012
Foul figures twisting turning dancing on a string Glossy carbon hearts and veins of glass, unhuman Freaks marching on to a better day, sad make believe Uncharted are the routes that lead us to eternity And back again Through candy skies We are the dead Suffocating, yet breathing, in a crystal place When the options are secured the choice is irrelevant A swine face forcing us to a sole decision In the name of the future I defy my fate Come feel the rising of the tide Calling back today No wonder I don’t fit into your hiding Honey, don’t bother to save me / stay

Entrance to the sheer process Of stripping the memories from your mind Through loss and understanding Realize you’re just a product of your time Nothing more than a drone Stranded, perpetually lost There is nothing sacred in this world And nothing’s what I am for you Still condemned to fight all my battles alone I can’t rely or repent For only death can save us now A gruesome trail of grief Sedated by the fear of loss and greed Never lasting, never knowing Through jaded eyes I see myself dead What has been lost cannot be restored

Now break the cycle And force a change For the wings of destiny Have failed to beat You never really wanted aid or protection And never will You never wanted a fast way back from The hell you’ve become Left to wait in vain Gather hatred till I break Left to wait for a better day A real life to come Step in the unknown Forget the past Still far from what you were Afraid of what you’ll be There’s no way out Tell us that we never ever gonna be the victims There’s no way out Tell us they never ever gonna betray

Just another perfect day spent in labour Frantic ants and worms fading into black I can’t recognize the face staring in the mirror Guess it should be me or what I was supposed to be I know – You are way to blind to care for And I know – You will never realize I want to know – When the tables gonna turn Can’t relate to the fact we’re fading away Can’t deceive these neverending days Swirling into black So I cling to this madness calling my name And to see right through just look in my eyes Crawling into night Craving for a future that never comes Weak resistance and despair, all out frailties Always on the run never have enough Still corroding what I am forcing evolution Till the end of time, I’m supposed to burn

A better kind of submission Another silent prey A new wingbeat of perdition slowly surfing through reveries Of sulphur skies Inhaling poisonous vapours Of truths beyond my grasp I’m slowly choking In your venom Through scars and thorns I finally rise Alone The sulphurous core of my creation Won’t leave me cold And I know The starlit gate to thy heavens Lies in my blood Warning signs we’re unable to see Blindfolded by our plastic delusions A small distraction can make you lose it all But who’s really to blame when the reaper claims its toll? Dancing on broken bones A mere conclusion Swirling through streams of carbon thoughts I am the dream you failed to breed The backbone of society Gathering the memories I’ve lost so deep in me Another day to mourn

Gather all the storming echoes in the breeze Give voice to chaos a freeride unleashed No sure companion, no trustable fool I invite you to seek me chasing the stormwind From now on everything will be one From now on, merged into blackness Idols fading turning the clay of life to nothing Vultures are feeding on my flesh, circling fast A new black dawn Turning the clay of life to nothing Turn every light into night Melting, raging, a feast of black swans Raining on my face Merging into a black lavic rapture No more tomorrow, no chance of redemption Like a raven skin I invade and curse Force the end of things With my every word

Lashing a curse in the cold acid rain Carving a smile with the blade of delusion Colors bright but the smell is the same The stench of puke that feeds your illusion remains Whatever comes on the wind of promise Shall bear the bliss of a thousand curses Beneath a sulphur sky we’re drowning We are the breed of an howling furnace Fed by the tears of the muted masses Beneath a carnival shroud we’re choking Grey days replaced by plastic Colors explode in a million of scars Grit smiles stained by perpetual disease Soulsick ride on the brink of suicide The carnival shroud Omissis Sulphur and honey merge The carnival shroud Relentless Merciless chokehold The struggle for at least some peace Keeps tearing the senses apart Can’t wait for a remedy Now it’s better to ignore Can’t control what is growing in me Or this cursed lore

As shackles glimmer Beneath the impassible grin of the stars A scavenger lingers Sustained by hollowness and plastic gods Downfall of us all It’s too late for apologies Downfall of our souls Remember what’s meant to be And that tomorrow still belongs To the same old mistakes All that I need is to break the fall And recover myself Apathy, the state of grace of the fools A rabid strain spreading jackals loose Funeral torch the collapse is universal A cycle’s end, dress the world in utter darkness

Bloodred ribbons, candymen and methadone Allure suspicious wails, here comes the chant of drones Cross the stars I’m drunk with radiation And all I need to see is just the bitter conclusion What if the world’s nothing more than a lie An holographic pool in which we wallow blind What if reality’s nothing more than an obsession Of a sick eerie fuck on the verge of submission What do you see? What do you feel? Raise your head Now the celebration has begun What do you want? What do you breed? Slash your flesh Now the celebration has begun Liquid grins, glassy eyes, plastic bones An army of fools in shiny uniforms The monster parade goes on through the night An horde on a leash, mass mental suicide What’s the world, only jewels and blood? An endomorphic state in which we grow cold Fed with lies till the end of duration I refuse to take part in your sick celebration Blind to reality spinning backwards Forcefed with lies from the day we are born

And there, alone, in complete silence and despair He crosses the entrance and stands in the cold A lifetime away still feels like home But now the time has come to never be alone again
