Treacherous coward
You tried to put the blame on me
You destroyed what you borrowed me
All this time, you were wrapping me in your web of lies
And I am now walking on broken glass
Don’t ever speak my name again
Your plan was a failure from the beginning
No longer have the right to tell them the truth
And I don’t have the liberty to stand up and fight.
You are now running blind
Beneath a troubled sky
Since you have passed the point of no return
Your love is venom
I’m suffocating in you
Drinking your words like poisoned wine
Leaving my life in your hands
Third eye blind
Where reality’s hold declined
Hides a shivering man behind
Mascarade
Singing utopia like a serenade
Weaving webs to hide your pain
What a shame you’ll always stay the same.
Traitorous coward
Don’t justify, you’re dead to me
Now lick my wounds for you made me sick
All this time, you were wrapping me in your web of lies
And I am now walking on broken glass
Your love is venom
I’m suffocating in you
Drinking your words like poisoned wine
Leaving my life in your hands
Third eye blind
Where reality’s edge declined
Hides a shivering man behind
Mascarade
Singing utopia like a serenade
Weaving webs to hide your pain
What a shame you’ll always stay the same.
I locked myself in your filthy heart
My denial became a ritual
Your whole soul is a counterfeit
No redemption for you, hypocrite

Judgment Day

Can you hear the call of those
That watch their own execution
Too weak to fight and oppose
Innocents witnessing destruction
He slowly acquired their trust
Selling dreams to these weakened preys
Pitiful slaves treated with disgust
Corrupted minds, they shall obey
To rule them all, to dominate
In your mind that sees no outcome
The folly in which you bathe
Your supremacy has just begun
In the black hole killing them like
A dying star robbed of its light
Will it be the core of their life story ?
Cruel tragedy
Here it comes the Judgement day
Which reminiscence do you wanna keep?
Break theses chains, rise again from these flames
You make them fall using their faith
But the worst is yet to come
The folly in which you bathe
Your supremacy has just begun
In the black hole killing them like
A dying star robbed of its light
Will it be the core of their life story ?
Cruel tragedy
Here it comes the Judgement day
Which reminiscence do you wanna keep?
Break theses chains, rise again from these flames
Father
Do Not Forgive their sins
Our brothers
They have never been
Here it comes the Judgement day
Which reminiscence do you wanna keep?
Break theses chains, rise again from the flames
Can you hear the call of those
That watch their own execution
Too weak to fight and oppose
Innocents witnessing destruction
I beg of you, End the carnage
Please see this through, Bring a new age
For innocence has been stolen
Wake up this souls that had been frozen

In destiny's dark hallway
Handcuffed wrists for innocent acts
The madman engraves his daydreams
Bloodied nails through filthy walls
His whole pride has fell apart
His fortune has gone up in smoke
How that noble man could turn the same?
Numbed by sickness and turning insane
There was this man
Once king of roses,
Cherished, loved and secured
Now captive by a deviant plague
Where was my treasure buried?
Where is my wife and my past reasons to live?
This cursed infamy
Haunted by a beast living in me
Please God bring him home
Cause this world can’t exist
For my heart can’t hold on
It will not resist
I feel like I drown
In an endless abyss
Though these fears are my own
Death’s hand I might kiss
His life slowly became unstable
From speech disorder and delusional visions
To cenesthetic hallucinations
Immured, secluded by filthy walls
His better half was torn apart
Couldn’t recognize him anymore
How that noble man could turn the same?
Forgotten in sickness, just wasting away
As time goes by, we still hadn’t found any cure
For this plague still misknown, so obscure
We revealed his misdiagnosis
Will my mind stay that blurry?
Why is my wife gone, won’t she come back to me?
Looks like god stole me
The last angel caring for me

Clouded skies
Granting no grace
The stars despise
A cold embrace
Weeping
Of the heart
Hopes
Torn apart
Injured soul
Kneeling for aid
Losing control
Silence invades
Through vivid nightmares
Here’s my unanswered prayers
Denial tastes so bitter
Wake me up from this slumber
All these years with open arms, I wander
No grasp or hold, no throne of gold
I roam this world, I linger
Through nescience and fear
Thousand lights concealed
No god no fate, fortune can’t be awaited
Dusk and gloom
Oceans of doom
Conquering fears
Wings made of tears
Climb
See through this haze
Time
Feed from its gaze
My ship of light
Build from this blight
My affliction
True redemption
All these years with open arms, I wander
No grasp or hold, no throne of gold
I roam this world, I linger
Through nescience and fear
Thousand lights concealed
No god no fate, fortune can’t be awaited
No god no fate
Light
Burns my eyes
Ignite
Fly high sunrise
Sailing
Clouds of the night
Reaching
The end of my plight
Now, salvation is the only key
No affliction should slay this fantasy
In depth of stagnant waters, I was fading
Rebirth is the blessing of suffering

Decaying Sun

Skies carved in stone
Oceans bleeding plague
Giving up my crown
For I need to escape
Ruler of my domain
A realm of misery
A king raised in pain
Choking melancholy
Old fraying heart
Decaying sun of apathy
Core falling apart
Draining our mind of sanity
Hunting, Serenity
Chasing, Tranquility
My chaos still invades
Discord, Disharmony
In flames, my infamy
My peace of mind unmade
Old fraying heart
Decaying sun of apathy
Core falling apart
Draining our mind of sanity
Filthy bones
Collapsing throne
Wasting away
Be on your own
You’ll die alone
Releasing me
Waves of remorse
A stream of pure shame
Darkened living force
May faith take the blame
A sea of smoke
Strangles my name
Demons invoked
Setting my soul aflame
Old fraying heart
Decaying sun of apathy
Core falling apart
Draining our mind of sanity
Filthy bones
Collapsing throne
Wasting away
Be on your own
You’ll die alone
Releasing me
Buried in a trench of lies
Now just let me sleep
Bring this world demise
Hear my final weeps
Darkened living forces
Demons invoked
Collapsing throne
Wave of remorse

Towards Death We March
06:17

Haze covers the plain
Dusk has set its tone
Peace… And silence reign
On this age of …
Broken thrones
Stillness in our eyes
Our faith remains unknown
Fear… And anguish rise
In our mind like frozen stones
Our virtue, our constancy
Sinking down into a dark sea
Sullying the image of Venus
Lust and love lust
Sold out all our trust
Witness as we trample
Descending upon you
Taking back our temple
This fight long overdue
But now, arise and seek
We watched, quiet and weak
A shattered world flaming in misery
Vengeance for throwing our liberty
Face Us
Don't look away
Your lust
Will burn today
Cold-hearted we became
We all bear the fucking blame
Those cheating whores will not prevail
Theses fences, we’ll tear down
We swear to take your crown
Witness as we trample
Descending upon you
Taking back our temple
This fight long overdue
But now, arise and seek
We watched, quiet and weak
A shattered world flaming in misery
Beckoning death… we march
The Heart severed from the head
Idylls hanging by a thread
Can I lay down and fly away?
For I now possess
My own fortress
Far away from the lie and decay
Blood covers the plain
Death has sang its song
Peace… And silence
A new era in which we belong
Our Future
You don't control
This torture
God save our souls
Time has come to put and end
To human desolation
Jaded and cold-hearted we became
No more time for fucking games
Last days on earth
Still, could you remember
When the young heart
Once forgave the sinner

Forsaken souls
You will kneel and obey
Your dreams I own
Your life is what you shall pay
No salvation
No redemption
Abandon
You’re my Servants
Your sins and flaws
Are not something to forgive
Observe my laws if you still want to live
I gave you my kingdom
Which you left to decay
Your lack of wisdom
Pains me very dearly
Kneel down
There is no blind eye
You won’t deserve any clemency
One last breath, get down and cry
Crawling in agony
Now that you know
This is just the beginning
Look at your woe
Embrace your suffering
No salvation
No redemption
Abandon
You’re my servants
Are you ashamed?
Do you regret and repent?
No matter now
For I shall never relent
I gave you my kingdom
Which you left to decay
Your lack of wisdom
Pains me very dearly
Kneel down
There is no blind eye
You won’t deserve any clemency
One last breath, get down and cry
Crawling in agony
Look at your woe
Embrace your suffering
Are you ashamed?
No matter now
For I shall never relent

Help me, can’t you hear me?
Darkened surroundings
Save me from agony
In nightmares I’m drowning
I curse those weary days
Where hopes faded out
Cry those memories away
The world blows out
Blindness struck now I can’t see
No way out of this hell
I’m lingering in my despair
Fading light says farewell
Break free
I can barely breathe
Enslaved and captive
Heal me, my heart’s compressing
This affliction, misery
Blindness struck now I can’t see
No way out of this hell
I’m lingering in my despair
Fading light says farewell
Relive, fly away
There’s nothing here but torment
Your shackles are broken
Escape from this world
I curse those weary days
Where hopes faded out
Cry those memories away
The world blows out
And then the night swallows the sun
Purgatory of the lost ones
Thread linking core and shell
Has been knotted
Obfuscated
Blindness struck now I can’t see
No way out of this hell
I’m lingering in my despair
Fading light says farewell
Relive, fly away
There’s nothing here but torment
Your shackles are broken
Escape from this world
Fading light says farewell
There’s nothing here but torment

J'avais déjà acheté le CD et le T-shirt d'Eradicate au spectacle mémorable des filles qui chantaient du métal à Québec juste avant que la COVID éclate en mars 2020. J'ai revu ce groupe en spectacle à la Cabane à Val-d'Or cet automne et quel show!!! Roxana est très impressionnante avec sa voix!
