What Lies Beneath 05:40
lyrics
Built of deception This artificial world of lies can exist no more Reflected through the centuries of crippled generations The pillars, that hold your kingdom are rotten to the core You would rather hide behind the high walls of your illusions To ignore the unpleasant truth, that you already know Don’t reject the facts, throw away fallacies Get up off your knees Take a look around, no more prejudices Now it’s time to see what lies beneath What was hidden away, was forbidden to say What you couldn’t imagine in the worst nightmare The truth you can not bear We live like corpses in common grave We are lying silently and wait For certain that they have created To be forgotten Our history is a complete fake An endless cycle of pain and hate The violence is cultivated To keep us subordinate We avoid inconvenient questions Proclaiming ourselves innocent When an explosion occurs in a reactor When we drown the crew in sea full of our secrets and misery Ask yourselves what lies beneath We are responsible for our treacherous inaction Driven by our misconceptions We encourage hypocrisy Way, that we unquestionably follow to the abyss Should undoubtedly be cancelled We must accept, what lies beneath Continuing to turn a blind eye to what’s going on We doom ourselves to repeating the same mistakes We will never get rid of this burden Until we accept ourselves with all what lies beneath Reflected through the centuries of crippled generations The pillars, that hold your kingdom are rotten to the core You would rather hide behind the high walls of your illusions To ignore the unpleasant truth, that you already know What you’ve always known

Cult Of Denial 03:55
lyrics
For years, we walk along the path built of maimed lives Proclaiming the victory of the mind over blind faith The genocide, which we justify by our compassion Our terror rises under the approval of the nation Professing tolerance, we are the first to call for violence Dissent should be crucified and turned into dust Stained in blood, convinced adherents of the cult of denial We sincerely believe in our innocence We are the source of torture We've recreated a paradise not differs much from hell We write the books we live in Total control over manifestation of the free will Mass suppression in the name of society Extermination of disagreed We claim, that we are victims of circumstances Clamped in the ring of enemies There is nothing left; only aggression leads to survival -Dictates our infallible church of terrorism This is a typical psychological reception To feed in our minds hatred and fear We are the slaves of the sect of denial Keep on obediently obey the higher will We'll never change tomorrow, if we won't change ourselves For years, we walk along the path built of maimed lives Proclaiming the victory of the mind over blind faith The genocide, which we justify by our compassion Our terror rises under the approval of the nation Professing tolerance, we are the first to call for violence Dissent should be crucified and turned into dust Stained in blood, convinced adherents of the cult of denial We sincerely believe in our innocence Mass suppression in the name of society Extermination of disagreed

Limits Of Insanity 04:15
lyrics
Enjoy this debilitating stench of misery Inhale the air that corrodes your rotten lungs Spit this unbearable bitterness out of your mouth Wipe the sweat off your hands, covered with blood Pull out a knife from ruptured bleeding throat And keep on saying, that everything is fine Where are the limits of insanity? A sign of your weakness, You are too scared to admit You’ve learned to hide Pretending that this is patience You don’t consider The path of accepting reality Your inner fear Will tear you up to pieces Your flesh exfoliates, exposing fragile bones Eyes are flowing out, the blood boils inside the veins When the denial becomes ordinary The truth can not be distinguished from lies Where are the limits of insanity? You have been justifying yourself All the life full of contempt Then what the fuck are you showing discontent? Keep on pretend No matter how long it will take Everything what happens is ok You always make the same mistakes Instead of stop the suffering How can u be so indecisive? What words are you waiting for? Where is the limit of your patience? How long can u ignore? When they undermine your children And burn that’s what you call home Where is the limit of your patience? How long can u ignore?

Aftermath 03:29
lyrics
Like afflicted by radioactive contamination The aftermath will be felt for decades to come Irreversible changes, that we’ve been affected Won’t be ever healed until the end of days Madness remains Cause-effect relations are violated The overall decline of mental activity This knot was tighten around your neck for years A rope of fear The absence of oxygen caused serious damage to the brain Like endless phantom pain As a severed limb can’t be regrown It’s way too late for change We’re self-betrayed and witness now the results from our common grave Raise your eyes A lie doesn’t stand the test of time Doubts are disproved by facts There is nothing left except despise This is reflected even at the genetic level A new era-natural selection’s cleansing With our hands we’ve built the enslavement mechanism A man turns into a resource for functioning of authorities For the choices we’ve made We are all guilty Here comes aftermath, lead to our demise The society passes to the stage of acceptance After only it has refused to deny

Sentenced To Pain 03:44
lyrics
You are a cheap consumable item Disposable part, serving it’s time Bioorganic mass, awaiting recycling In their arms You are so blind, where were your eyes when your children were burning in flames of the cage of lies When they have buried you alive in those mines of despise Born not to survive, genocide You stand knee-deep in the blood And inhale the vile smell of your decaying disastrous lives Sentenced to pain Nothing will ever change this abysmal state For you all – there is no escape Anyway, no matter what happened You will forget everything Endless, you are betrayed, you are enslaved, and you keep inside your hatred Failure comes from mistakes, which you neglect What makes you hostages in your own self-created hell You have no right to agree with their terror Your silence is the life-source of their permissiveness There is no excuse for your criminal apathy Every time, when you step back – you tighten the noose around your neck This abhorrent immoral socium is condemned to suffer Nothing. You’ll ever learn nothing. With your weak hands, you are hammering nails into your own coffins. Dancing on the remains of what is forgotten Sentenced to pain Nothing will ever change this abysmal state For you all – there is no escape Anyway, no matter what happened You will forget everything

Dependencies 04:21
lyrics
Deaf impersonal organic mass Reared in suppression Fed by absorbing prejudices Revels in its arrogance The decay of humanity comes Through acceptance When people profess tolerance An ignorance thrives A filtering machine of despotism Self-created containment mechanism All those vices, in which we blame others Are the projection of our own actions Every path, every act, every decision, that we have made Like a butterfly effect, will reflect Will distort our perfect socium concept We are inextricably chained By disgusting reality, That we have created A triumph of profanity Everyone stubbornly insists On their individuality Have forgot of what does it consist The modern society Herd instinct Predominates over reason We are captives Of public opinion How could we have let it come to this When did it happen How the fuck have we become so suggestible The truth of one is nothing Compared to the truth of many Not the right ones win, But those, who are more We ourselves produce The consequences that we reap But the decisive choice is only yours We are inextricably chained By disgusting reality, That we have created A triumph of profanity Everyone stubbornly insists On their individuality Have forgot of what does it consist The modern society Herd instinct Predominates over reason We are captives Of public opinion

Hunger 05:41
lyrics
Hunger devours me from within Making to forget about consequences An unbearable pain spreads throughout me The body suffers from strangulation After years of usurpation and slavery We hadn’t learned how to see Fairy tales about our superiority Which we’re fed to make us all submissive Suffocation We are drowning in the deepest abyss Of imposed asceticism Famished orphans in narcosis, yearning for the Sacred past of our greatness, holy truth that never was Semblance of order All the life turns into sorrow We’re pressed to corner Exist to maintain the reign of terror No hope for a tomorrow How can’t you feel this raging thirst? How can you live like this? Archaic way of thinking Condemned generations to misery As insufficient amount of oxygen causes brain cells destruction A social conscience is inducted to coma, that leads to death The irreversible violation of cause-effect relations Constantly keeps the society in apathy How can you justify atrocities? How can you endure this? The only escape is not a place Freedom of thoughts is in your heads This intracranial irritating ache is like a survival instinct Feeling that comes from entrails overshadows everything How long would you swallow your deceitful reality Instead of starting to feel free No hope for a tomorrow Maintain the reign of terror

Hopeless 03:29
lyrics
Centuries have passed, thousands of words were said Nothing had been changed, the world is still insane Can’t find the light in dark, don’t see the disease recede Futile paradigm of eternity Hopeless masses You are wasting your lives in search of a shepherd The one, who will come and show you the righteous way Meekly kneeling and believe in every lie being told you Deliriously repeating every word you hear Subliminal slaves are seeking to obey While years pass, the mechanism remains the same Misconceptions succeed each other You are doomed to make the same mistakes until the end of days Betrayed, enslaved, left with anger Derived from ignorance Reflected pain in generations Repeating yesterday Enchanted by promises Of better future You refuse the consequence Of your illusions Complete dysfunction The history that teaches nothing You are doomed to endless suffer, until you recognize your responsibility
9.
Beasts 02:06
lyrics
The most monstrous consequence of a totalitarian system Is complete cynicism or, if you will, the nihilism of public consciousness You have lost any face of a humaneness Driven by your own lowest needs Like beasts, you attack the most defenseless Deriving pleasure from others misery Imposed stereotypes are made to cultivate your hatred A hatred that seeds to eradicate individuality Scraped of identity You are compliant disciples of mental slavery Content with the life in tyranny Drowning insecure thoughts in endless apathy Convinced of your own infallibility You commit the most terrible atrocities Selfish envious cruel entity Indifferent to human sufferings Obedient to master’s will Blinded by the TV screen Exalt kleptocracy Standing on your knees Through the years of terror Through screams in agony For such abhorrent beasts like you there is no tomorrow
10.
Uncertain 04:32
lyrics
Misled by the substitution of eternal concepts You are trying to find the truth in deceit Equivoke makes the reliable things uncertain As world collapses, it drowns in disbelief Misconceptions are formed to maintain The state of a constant fear Hypocrisy has become a fundamental feature Of modern society Distorted perception, double standards You were born and raised without the possibility of choosing fate Conflict of interests, duality in judgement You are becoming more convinced, that Orwell created a new era bible Blinded, bludgeoned All these empty talks with witch you are brainwashed For years; from day to day A pawn of beliefs, cleverly manipulated Held in ambiguity A bleeding world mired in green and professing Principles of equality Parasites on human sympathy Yesterday’s victims, today become the leaders of tyranny Hiding under the guise of oppressed They impose their will The world is built on contradictions Your freedom ends when my begins We condemn ourselves to extinction By misrepresenting reality
