Pressure Vessel 08:27
lyrics
buy track
Please kindly be our slave Or become an outcast And we will make you crave For this meaningless task Internalize failures Deny the touch of chaos Your fate is only yours Assistance is weakness Chorus : Can you feel the pressure raise in your veins Slowly wear out the thin vessels ? Can you hear the beat of the galley's drum ? Tediously dragging on the vessel Do you think that you can last much longer ? S'there even an alternative ? Will you sink if they throw you overboard ? Or is it that's what they'll have you believe ? Blend in our dull portaits Erase personal traits Become our standard Shave smooth get a haircut Put (on) this branded Silly shirt For not doing what I ask In this small confined space Yourself you'll have to face And this meaningless task To the most absurd of our senseless Demands you shall bow Else, we will bore you out to death Short of pushing you out the window Chorus (2) From the overseer Down to the underling You relay the pressure Override the feeling The only thing worth preserving Keep going forward But save your self-esteem And whether you stay on board Simply blow off the steam

Nameless 06:47
lyrics

They had memories, events of our past Back a hundred years in time The Great War, supposed to be the last The last of them has passed away And the words remaining Sound like a vital warning Hear their last lament : "We didn't want to wage this war, We didn't want to fight our kind We didn't know each other Yet had to kill and die first in line All this for what ?" "Toughen up, toughen up ! The youth needs action or they'll turn queer and soft" So it has come to this Some madmen want to put you through The same old nightmares We'd rather be nameless, Fameless Than be an icon for warmongers We don't condone their craze

Despise Us 04:26
lyrics
buy track
We are the scum We are We are the scum Of humanity You hate us ! Media use our image Despise us ! They chose who you hate Turning you away From those who matter The ones in control Morality Politically corrupt Guess who wins the game in the end I don't know but at least We lose less than you Hate flow means cash flow We can live with it And we totally do If you were wise, you'd ignore us !

Our Only Way 07:50
lyrics
buy track
We die because we are weak Immortal means static Forced to evolve for other forms Be faster, or be fed to the worms The selection needs to be operated Each generation is put under stress Those who fail the test, decimated An endless and merciless process Our only way to eternity Is to pass on the flame But accept that we have to Fade away into the nothingness Our petty self-destructive quarrels Turn out to weigh less in annals Than devastating epidemies An empire for a virus species A broken thread of DNA Makes the difference between The revolution or the dismay Of a whole and entire kin Our only way to eternity Is to pass on the flame But accept that we have to Fade away Death strikes a hard bargain The price just to survive is pain The result of fighting other life The outcome of a timeless strife (Fighting decay with sharp blades) How to use your energy You can’t pick a strategy Only hope you drew the right cards Just a pawn in a game that discards Some have set out to be dominators Non contempt to be mere survivors They will burden enslave and exploit Leaving realms crushed burnt and destroyed We live by the day We squander away Irrational minds dictate our ways Ressources go to waste by the hour We keep on going Eventhough we know It can’t last long But it's because despite all our tricks Cheating circumstances We are still fragile and mortal Demise lurking about Powerless against the passing time Exist, evolve, you don’t have a say We just fear for ourselves Our only way to eternity Is to pass on the flame But accept that we have to Fade away Genetic only information Doesn’t suffice Another means of transmission Is necessary

about

All my main works for free !
My goal at the moment is simply to make the music available with just a click. If you do think it is worth money, you can name your price. You can also buy songs individually if you like a particular song.

These songs were originally published individually, so they have their own artwork. You can see it by clicking the song's link.
