Aggressive Inhibitions

Verse 1:
Lurking deep down below
Silently biding his time
Old as man himself
Certain as death to life
A dark passenger
Tearing from the inside
A ghastly companion
That promises destruction
Chorus:
They say every once in a while
If you visit his dark domain
The ageless one will resurface
And you will trigger your own demise
Demise!
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
[Solo: Markus Hiltunen]
Verse 2:
Preying on the susceptible
Delusive, fragile mind
Unaware of a presence
Set out to consume
A nightly visitor
In your darkest of dreams
Prompting to repeat
Man's old mistakes
Chorus:
They say every once in a while
If you visit his dark domain
The ageless one will resurface
And you will trigger your own demise
Verse 3:
Releasing your inner being,
Breaking down your aggressive inhibitions

Predators of Peace
03:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Predators of peace
A system dependant on war
Exploiters of conflict
Yearning for control
A greedy cause
Disguised as good will
Painting a facade
Deception your ultimate thrill
Pre-chorus:
Submission through blackmail
Control by illusion
Chorus:
National manipulator
Spreading influence
Dividing oppressor
Gaining governance
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
Verse 2:
Firing first, thinking after
Tomorrows problems not your own
Oblivious to consequence
Your ignorance cannot be condoned
Pre-chorus:
Submission through blackmail
Control by illusion
Chorus:
National manipulator
Spreading influence
Dividing oppressor
Gaining governance
Verse 3:
Total dominance not enough
Continuing power-abuse
Everyone will turn on you
You'll find yourself a recluse
Verse 4:
Domination won't last long
You're digging your own grave
Better start counting your days
For I won't be this government's slave!
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

Shattered Future Tense
06:45
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Born in an age when man hates nature
Conscience overcome by greed
One of a species determined to lay waste
On dying earth we feed
Caught in man's short sighted ways
Unwilling to accept change
Torn by our own arrogance
A race that's gone deranged
Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?
Verse 2:
Alive in a world, dark by our misdeeds
Where we wander in our sleep
Left in a spiral of destruction
On a planet, abused and mistreated
Died in an age when time ceased to exist
Gaia's face grows cold
Felt her twist in torment
As the last resistance broke
Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?
[Instrumental]
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
[Verse 3]
For death by his own hand
Humanity is marked
Of this global genocide
Each man plays a part
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?

Strike Hard, Strike Fast
02:47

Verse 1:
Months and years have passed me by
Been waiting far too long
Patiently preparing, biding my time
This time things can't go wrong
Deep inside a feeling stirs
The moment is at hand
Obsessively driven by vengeance and fear
It's time to make a stand
Chorus:
Strike hard!
Strike, fast!
Verse 2:
Flickering lights before your eyes
Ears ringing with noise
Mayhem piercing through your brain
You're left without a choice
Sudden silence, quick release
The calm before the storm
Catch your breath before it's gone
And thrash to Paranorm!
Chorus:
Strike hard!
Strike, fast!
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

The Indoctrinated
05:50
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Pointless virtues,
Urged by white-clad men
Lying and cheating
Over and over again
Hollow promises
False sense of safety
Trusting a god
To lead you to your destiny
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination,
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone
Verse 2:
Ancient writings
Designed to lead astray
Ambiguous fables
Misread along the way
Declared divinity
Determined for political gain
Two-faced cross
Twisting the truth to sustain
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination,
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
Verse 3:
Manipulating bastards
Sanctimonious fools
What's the point in believing
If you can't adapt to your own rules?
Brain-dead obedience
Your will's not your own
If you trust the contradictions
Spewed from a papal throne!
Verse 4:
Pointless virtues,
Urged by white-clad men
Lying and cheating
Over and over again
Hollow promises
False sense of safety
Trusting a god
To lead you to your destiny
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination,
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone

Atmospheres
06:17
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Stifled by reality
Transparent actuality
Drowning in vacuous seas
Projected ambiguity
Surrounding conspiracy
Unconditional ambivalence
Chorus:
Erratic fantasy unfolds
Atmospheres apart
Fictitious paradigm unveiled
In an abstruse truth
Verse 2:
Shifted objectivity
Sheltering fantasy
Confined within the clouds
Sentient instability
Cerebral anarchy
Witnessing pandemonium's rise
Chorus:
Erratic fantasy unfolds
Atmospheres apart
Fictitious paradigm unveiled
In an abstruse truth
Chorus 2:
But I will break
The boundaries of space
Pierce the ice, crack the surface
And embrace the universe
[Instrumental]
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
[Repeat Chorus and Chorus 2]
[Instrumental outro]
