Afraid 04:44
V1: Carving deep cracks inside of you And no matter what you'll say or do I'll keep stabbing your hateful heart For I'll never again be torn apart By your empty fucking lies Turning a deaf ear to your false cries I feel the pressure rising up inside So prepare for the coming of the tide C1: I'll choke out your final breath Drain the venom from your veins You'll beg to embrace death Shackled by my outworn chains You've wasted your final chance Now that the debts are paid I'll rain down with great vengeance So it's your turn to be afraid V2: Doubtful in retrospect What the hell did I expect? Trusting the lies of snakes Feasting on the heart that breaks Tearing skin from bone I still stand alone While you all still crawl Facing towards the wall C2: I'll choke out your final breath Drain the venom from your veins You'll beg to embrace death Shackled by my outworn chains You've wasted your final chance Now that the debts are paid I'll rain down with great vengeance So it's your turn to be afraid B1: I see you trying to escape But won't get too far away As my blade makes its way In through your ribs To rip and tear the heart out From your fucking chest B2: Your time is running out You can hear the devils shout As they repeat the lies you've said So it's your turn to be afraid V3: Cheated and lied And then stole and denied You fake all your scenes But it ends now by all means I'll never back down again Not until you're driven insane You can't hold me down And you won't watch me drown C3+4: I'll choke out your final breath Drain the venom from your veins You'll beg to embrace death Shackled by my outworn chains You've wasted your final chance Now that the debts are paid I'll rain down with great vengeance So it's your turn to be Choked out to your final breath Drain the venom from your veins You'll beg to embrace death Shackled by my outworn chains You've wasted your final chance Now that the debts are paid I'll rain down with great vengeance So it's your turn to be afraid

V1: We all live in a world where the right are wrong Realize we are designed benign From the beginning of our lives Never seeing the truth right in front of us We have to change our ways We have to change our ways! No more shall we fight for them As we unleash this final mayhem We'll rise as this war starts to ignite Now! C1: I thought I've seen it all The rise and the fall I thought I've faced it all I thought I've felt it all The rise and the fall I thought I've been through it all (The rise and the fall) V2: So cut the life out from the sick 'Cause this right ain't for the weak Bury them with your hands of fate And destroy what they would create You, nameless gods who deal in deceit Shall meet your end, for this is it! C3: I thought I've seen it all The rise and the fall I thought I've faced it all The rise and the fall I thought I've felt it all The rise and the fall I thought I've been through it all The rise and the fall B1: The empires you've built shall fall Shadows of the past shall consume you all (Solo - Alex Sicoe) (Solo - Hexcore) B2: Now's the time to bring their barriers down Now's the time to fight Now's the time for war Now's the time to rise And never fall B3: Some fight for honor, some fight for glory Fearless we rise, memento mori (Alternating solos) B4: Some fight for honor, some fight for glory Fearless we rise, memento mori C3: I thought I've seen it all The rise and the fall I thought I've faced it all The rise and the fall I thought I've felt it all The rise and the fall I thought I've been through it all The rise and the fall Ending: Under a rain of fire and ashes The world we knew now crashes

V1: Forming clouds on the horizon, I see They’re blackened, roaring towards me Soaring thunder, flashing lightning Form this gale’s sighting But I shall break this storm My life will finally take form And I shall tear apart this veil That holds me back from setting sail V2: With unbound wings, I fly away I seek my calm, each night and day Facing the storm Standing in my way Too long have I embraced defeat Too long has my heart skipped its beat Now I hold onto my creations Giving them life and variations C1: Wind’s getting stronger, fiercer I sense this storm’s nearer As it makes its way in through my soul Attempting to make me kneel and crawl I rise again, fearless, braving this storm I shall deny its power and form One last time I hearken how it sings Before I face the force it brings V3: Stand up or stand alone Free will upon a liar’s throne Watching the world burn Past the point of no return Faith now resting on thin ice, Fallen from its sky-high paradise Once again, I lose my nerve Is this the hell that I deserve? C2: Wind’s getting stronger, fiercer I sense this storm’s nearer As it makes its way in through my soul Attempting to make me kneel and crawl I rise again, fearless, braving this storm I shall deny its power and form One last time I hearken how it sings Before I face the force it brings Bridge: I rise and the fires, I obliterate This hopeless dream, annihilate These traitor eyes, disintegrate Wings of dawn, lead me towards fate! (Breakdown) C3: Wind’s getting stronger, fiercer I sense this storm’s nearer As it makes its way in through my soul Attempting to make me kneel and crawl I rise again, fearless, braving this storm I shall deny its power and form One last time I hearken how it sings Before I face the force it brings

Gone 03:44
V1: Every day feels like another crusade Extinction's the wall, my will is my blade Never lose hope, never back down Never gonna wear that bloody thorn crown Wolves don't lose sleep Over opinions of sheep So I'll keep going hard Broken, beat and scarred Never gonna lay early in my grave C2: So you shall find me when I'm gone Through the skies I shall be reborn From the ashes of a dying world To arise And face my demise Once again Inside the fray, not knowing if to crawl or stay V2: Step up to the ones that look down on me Take the fight to them and let them see That here I shall stand, triumphant Shouting with the voice of a giant Skin to bone, turning to stone Stronger, yet not alone I choose to live, not just to exist So you shall find me when I'm Gone. (Breakdown) Find me when I'm gone! C2: So you shall find me when I'm gone Through the skies I shall be reborn From the ashes of a dying world To arise And face my demise Once again Inside the fray, not knowing if to crawl or stay

Inner Self 04:42
V1: A devil sent me his gift of sorrow, speaking Words in tognues I can never recall As it cut my eyes, opening the bleeding Setting the scene of my own downfall This shadow from the depths of my mind I still struggle to keep confined It has become both poison and antidote As it kept dragging me down into its void C1: And it's Tearing me apart, it's Bringing me down, it's Breaking and shaking me From the inside out But this fight is mine Only I decide the victor And I shall give it my all But I'm never giving in Bridge: Like pestilence and plague it spreads, Leaving behind these silver threads Which cover the sight of all the dead Pieces of me and of the lies I've said Make us the same, make us the same Bury your heart and follow the flame Remain obsolete, remain unforeseen As the silence screams (Short solo) V2: Is this everything you wanted? You bear no resemblence Of the soul you've always haunted Just an enemy of acquaintance Poisoned with despair, lying to myself I look in the mirror, as the devil stares I'm tired of feeling like I'll never be More than just a prisoner of my inner self P-C: An imprinted scar, lasting forever On pale skins, pieced together C2: And it's Tearing me apart, it's Bringing me down, it's Breaking and shaking me From the inside out But this fight is mine Only I decide the victor And I shall give it my all But I'm never giving in (Main solo) Bridge: Drifting away into abyssal unknown The pace is set, the words forsworn I can hear it calling out my name Sounds so vulgar, always the same Still unbroken, still alive We're both equal in this strife Endless attacks in a mind of my own One thought will be bringing you down Breaking illusions, cutting the ties Seeing through all of your frail lies This time I will not be denied This time I will not defied I shall take back what was stolen And I will leave you empty and broken C3: And I'm tearing you apart I'm bringing you down I'm breaking and shaking you From the inside out, 'cause This fight is mine And I will be the victor For I shall give it my all And I'm never giving in Ending: Tearing you apart Bringing you down Breaking you

V1: The letters we wrote, once upon a time Return to haunt me like a burning chime First you bend me, then you break me Is my pain what you wanna see Everything falls dark, I feel it taking over As I find myself, empty and sober Never felt this way before Cold and bitter to the core C1: Remember the time when we once were Together as one, like the sky and the sun Immersed myself within your hallows Then was dragged away and taken to the gallows V2: All the promises we've made And all the things we've said Those words with such sweet taste Were forgotten and went to waste Now after all is said and done I walk the streets we used to run Letting go this frozen sun Not holding on to what is gone C2: Remember the time when we once were Together as one, like the sky and the sun Immersed myself within your hallows Then was dragged away and taken to the gallows Bridge: No, never again shall I trust your empty words Won't let you in my mind Won't be left empty inside So let my fear and pain subside C3: Remember the time when we once were Together as one, like the sky and the sun Immersed myself within your hallows Then was dragged away and taken to the gallows Remember... Remember!

Deaf Nation 04:10
Intro: Our history shall now collapse Our every struggle is in vain Corruption in incessant relapse And we are the ones labeled as insane V1: We must march together now And live up to our lifetime vow Take a step back, watch their bridges burn And let all our nation's pains be known P-C1: We're taught to believe their lie And to be deaf to our very own cry But this is not how we plan to live and die C1: A nation tired of make-believe Finally willing to perceive A nation not deaf anymore Willing to fight once more V2: All we do is sit in our empty homes Watching the screens and reading the tomes That they've always given us Learning to shut up and not make a fuss P-C2: Enough is enough when the riots ignite Out on the streets, night after night They will never secure our allegiance If we never show them innocence C2: A nation tired of make-believe Finally willing to perceive A nation not deaf anymore Willing to fight once more When the saints go marching in They won't be singing for your sins They will be carriers of light Guiding us through one last fight We fight. Fight! Bridge: Burning white flags, painted with our blood Shall be held up through the night They have brought upon us the flood But we will never leave their sight C3: A nation tired of make-believe Finally willing to perceive A nation not deaf anymore Willing to fight once more When the saints go marching in They won't be singing for your sins They will be carriers of light Guiding us through one last fight

about

It's been a hell of a ride for the last few months, but it's finally here.
I proudly present "Inner Core", my first full-length album, which is now officially released!
I've done my best to combine multiple styles and genres, so that each song has its unique sound and feel.
The whole album and its lyrics were entirely composed by myself, although I've had some help on two of the tracks, more specifically on Rise and Fall (for the solos) and on Empty Inside (for the clean vocals).
Hope you will all enjoy it!
