Silence Calls The Storm
Lyrics: Bercier
Music: Frydrychowicz
Unbalance Starts To Rise Within The Population, Revolution Begins
A Hunger For Power Is Launched, Their Dreams: Becoming The Leader Of The Alliance
A Hidden Disturbance Is Felt Throughout The Community, Its Force Augments
The Stakes Are Incrasing, Tension (Is High), A Clash Of The Titans
Beings To Shed Reality On The Realm
Guidance Ignored, They Strive To Achieve Their Goals
Opponents Will Grow
They Will Plan A Future
Disregarding Lives
To Focus On Their Desires
The End Of A Race Begins
Allies Will Assist
Honor Is Revealed
Some Will Return
Others Will Rest In War
A New World Defined In Tears
A New World Defined In Tears
Trying To Achieve An Order In The Senate: Seeking The Moles
Members Are Few Who Do Provide Selfishly, Aiming To Conquer Vengeance Of Man
Rebel Increase Their Offense, They Wear Their Masks To CLimb he RAnks
Their Plans Rehearsed, The Walk Alone Soldiers See The Paths Intent
They Disagree But Voiceless Words Are Heard
Guidance Ignored, The Wisdom Is Overlooked
Opponents Will Grow
They Will Plan A Future
Disregarding Lives
To Focus On Their Desires
The End Of A Race Begins
Allies Will Assist
Honor Is Revealed
Some Will Return
Others Will Rest In War
A New World Defined In Tears
A New World Defined In Tears

2. In Contempt
LYRICS : Frydrychowicz
MUSIC : Frydrychowicz
Committing To Sound
What Words Cannot Express
What Lies Connot Divert
And Rip Into Shreds
Living Snapshots Of Events
A Violent Maze Of Lies
Like Shadows Standing Still
A Testimony Of Accusations
Carving Out A Frozen Landscape
Filled With Twisted Form,
Of Faceless Cowards
And Frozen Faces
Cowards!
And Frozen Faces
The Arrogant And Hollow Crumble
Beneath The Boots Of Truth
Like Silence Standing Still
A Testimony Of Accusations
Carving Out A Frozen Landscape
Filled With Twisted Form,
Of Faceless Cowards
And Frozen Faces
Cowards!
And Frozen Faces
A Crumbling Image, An Empty Shell
Lies Of Which Sustain
Like Statues Standing
SOLO : Frydrychowicz
SOLO : Seghers
Committing To Sound
What Words Will Not Express
What Lies Cannot Divert,
And Rip Into Shreds
Arguments Ablaze!
The Stress Turns The minds Alive
Alive!
3. Break the Cycle
BREAK THE CYCLE
Lyrics: Frydrychowicz
Music: Frydrychowicz
Solo 1 And 2: Frydrychowicz
The Road To Hell Is Paved
With Good Intentions
Dreams Can Only Sustain For So Long
Turning Away With Apprehension
Life Passes You By As You
Trip Over Another Lost Cause
Life Goes On..
Open Your Eyes, Break The Cycle
Open Your Eyes, Alone In The Crowd
(Of Unscrupulus Mind)
Open Your Eyes, Break The Cycle
Open Your Eyes, Open Your Mind
Hours Turn Into Days Of Endless Struggle
On The Road To Nowhere
What Was Once Clear,Now A Distant Shadow
Why Effort Alone Is Not Enough
To Stop The Tide From Washing You Away...
Life Goes On..
The Acrid Smell Of Deceit
The Fuel That Transforms Notion Into Sound
Absorbed And Fused, Minds Confused
Into Catalytic Tone...
Condemns And Decries The Mistakes,
And The lies, And The Pain
Solo: Seghers
Solo: Frydrychowicz
Solo: Seghers
The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intetions
Dream Can Only Sustain For So Long
Open Your Eyes
And Break Away From Your Restraints
Let The Blind Guide Your Path No More...
Break Free From Your Past
Open Your Eyes, Break The Cycle
Open Your Eyes, Alone In The Crowd
(Of Unscrupulus Mind)
Open Your Eyes, Break The Cycle
Open Your Eyes, Open Your Mind
Hours Turn Into Days Of Endless Struggle
On The Road To Nowhere
What Was Once Clear,Now A Distant Shadow
Why Effort Alone Is Not Enough
To Stop The Tide From Washing You Away...
Life Goes On
To The Road To Hell,
To Rest, After Life In Pain!

5. To the Bitter End
Lyrics & Music: Frydrychowicz
Looking back at the days that past, as hindsight's perspectives settle in
and unwinds the time....
It dawns on me, that for which my life is sold
It dawns on me that only one could have done that
for which my life was stolen from within my reach
You took away my life and,
like shattered glass cuts through the skin,
I began to feel your vengeance
and your treachery
The blood is real...
Yet silent i remained
Indicted by the conspiracy
of fate......
Entombed within
the walls of the condemned
Conspiracy of fate
Fate will may you pay!
Why should I
pay the price for your mistakes?
For trangressions
not remotely mine
Loyalty of blood
condemns me with your sins
Paying with my life
Silent I remain
Empty walls cry out my name
solo: Frydrychowicz
solo: Seghers
Burn, ignited by my will
Slowly consumed from within
Amongst the damned
You will descend
You should be the one paying the price
Burn, ignited by my will
Slowly consumed from within
Amongst the damned
You will descend
You should be the one paying the price
Entrapped by my own ethics
my own rules impose this torture
Shall I speak and save myself?
The traitors do not deserve respect!
Why should I pay the price for your mistakes?
Blood ties and loyalty should work both ways
Shall I speak out?
Let the truth be known?
Why do I condemn myself to this prision
without walls?
Why?
I should make you pay!
I shall betray!
Burn, ignited by my will
Slowly consumed from within
Amongst the damned
You will descend
You should be the one paying the price

Corpus,
In Articulo Mortis
Hora Mortis
Hora Venit
7. Fate's Descent
Lyrics: Bercier
Music: Frydrychowicz
My body rests in a dark chamber
As I am receiving final farewells
A saddened silence fills the air
The smell of flowers, the smell of death
The latch is opened, my skin reflects the light
A short prayer is recited in my honour
Some take a step forward, their stares descend
Looks of deception, looks of despair
Some are faceless, some are caught in the moment
Communication at light speed occurs
faster than words can be expressed
One-way telepathy provides the living souls
a sense of presence when left alone
A mental sketch is tattooed on their minds
time to say their "adieux" arrives
My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond
I am imprisioned from the world of light
Some induce tears, hostage to emotion
Looking from above, I can feel their pain
... I will guide
Purity resists, faith will overcome
... I survive
They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace
... Of my life
Looking through their souls
Timeless sense of loss, overtaking thee
... I will guide
With a mere remorse, they will call to me
... I survive
Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past
... Of my life
Looking through my soul...
Voiceless.. but present...
Some can feel it, some ignore the forces
As I descend into the depths of goodbyes
solo: Seghers
The raining earth is bestowed upon my being
As I watch over and comfort thee
solo: Frydrychowicz
A last prayer in unison begins
solo: Frydrychowicz
Forever lasting, words do not die
Priceless balance
"You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
8. Dead Man's Diary
Lyrics: Bercier
Music: Frydrychowicz
Reader:
Dead Man's Diary on the nightstand
will it hold the truth to an unanswered past
Thoughts of yesteryears
Will they be revealed to the world at last?
Wooden floor cracks as I take a step forward
A cold breeze in back of my neck
A stench fills the room, the stench fills the room
Accumulated dust showed by the moonlight
Dark cover manuscript reveals its age
My hand apporaches and I feel the rage
Writer:
I'll hunt you down and punish your life
I'll nail you to the beams of red
I'll watch you bleed and beg for mercy
I'll savor the moment when our eyes will meet
Reader:
The content feared, the diary I open
First page, "To my love, the first and last"
A black and white photo from 1912
An image to remember from a forgotten past
I turn the pages, the horror grasps my attention
Shocking plots, and detailed footnotes
Confession begins:
"My actions are haunting me, I must confess.
But I fear brutal punishment for years on end."
"The truth will stay with me untill my body rests"
Writer:
I'll hunt you down and punish your life
I'll nail you to the beams of red
I'll burn your flesh, you will be covered with sores
I'll feel your pain as you scream for mercy
Reader:
A dark presence overcomes me
Agression starts to roar within my veins
The pages turn, without applying torque
A blank page appears at the end of the plot
The ink starts to appear as I read the words
My name inscribed, the time of death appears
Scripted to today's date, minutes untill tomorrow
An unexplainable fear is experienced
I close my eyes, I feel a soul above
I look into his eyes
His face...
... My face
Is staring at me
Writer:
I'll hunt you down and punish your life
I'll nail you to the beams of red
I'll ram a bullet right through your head
I'll put an end to the misery
9. Ego Intuo et Servo Te
Lyrics & Music: Frydrychowicz
