All this time’s been shut All these scars still hurt But now my silent rage has a sound Loud! Close your mouth, don’t take example Leave me alone and my art Leave me alone and my heart won’t crumble When I realize That we’re living as only option Timeless Despise Think at the smartest way’s to make you die! Crowd let’s shout, make me proud This is the voice I’m endowed Even the Moon without Sun Would be much darker than most far dead stars This is for real what you are Body without a single light spark Now, my silent rage has a sound Loud! Close your mouth, don’t take example Leave me alone and my art, and my heart won’t crumble Croud let’s shout, let’s make me proud This is the voice I’m endowed Even the Moon without Sun Would be much darker than most far dead stars When I realize That we’re living as only option I see her eyes Why do you steal her smile Tell me why Why waste your time Timeless Despise

Orbit 05:04
From the stars is shown the way Bleeding hearts will turn to pray Reckess days passing as time goes by Nothing new I won’t let you tell me what’s right, What is wrong, got my might, I am strong Want my sight away from you You are threatening me Lies are spreading here Until the end, wear no more masks Then you will try to bring me on your road Let me try it by myself and face the fall From the stars is shown the way Lonely heart and endless grey As I’m stumbling through life’s mystery Now revealed a curtain falls, blinding my eyes Inside me, chasing the voices in my head Until the end, wear no more masks

Trial 05:42
Walking through the path I thought was right for me False illusions were the answers in the night to seek Standing here alone, I have no defense Words of truth now come to an end Sorrounded by darkness Innocence fades away I am lost in confusion today Is this an illusion of reality I see? Before my eyes all the lies Here we go again, hatered my old friend Now that I’m with you I’ll give you my hand Wanted to fight, and I now feel the power In my mind I’m immerged in the fire Feeling no emotion, remotion of my soul I’m dehumanized, realize that I won’t fall Walking the path I know it’s right No time to rest, winning the fight
4.
I cried your name, so afraid of loosing it all Moments wasted, assurance about to fall A presence watching, from the eternal staring eye And I’m crumblind, unhandy in my disguise Try to stop voices in my head, I Try to, all my dreams unrealized Trapped in the storm, tha Mainmast won’t fall Beyond the fog I’ll see the sky tonight Facing terror, I embrace my darkest hour Fading the grasp, as a feather now I soar Anger rising from the past, realizing all I’ve been through As I’m turning again there is no end, but now the pressure’s removed No longer threatened by the eye, flying high in the wings of the storm Beyond the fog I’ll see the sky The veil of darkness has been torn Crave in silence As I try, to defy Searching the essence Discover the message, the road As I rise, to deny Rising above the world Distant from all that’s impure
5.
And as I bend myself, tight beneath the surface Caressing the cold breathing of salvation Behind the veil of mud lies the way to behold The everlasting sight of our destination Shine black, the light! Back from the darkest side Of my eyes, of their minds Find what it takes to heal the wounds that blind your sight Just to pass the time Following fireflies, they’ve got lost inside Too much to take, I’d rather search another time Find what it takes to heal the wounds that blind your sight Come closer and get lost in my embrace I’ve seen your light, outside of me Feel the pressure on your skin Those words come from within Shortening the eyesight, seeing just what’s under your nose I’ve failed Tearing down the damned cliff, that separates me from the goals In my short life Thashing and slashing All my force Cracking down All of the fear and the pain unfolds Fall to the ground Now it’s time to see what’s left But there is a place where you can find All the answers And then in the end you will face the truth That there is no time to realize that it’s over And I will start living from now on ‘til my grave
6.
My silence speaks louder than words Oh can you feel my inner world that isn’t unfold I’ve been here for so long Let me know places (where) I’ve never been before So lost I reach out, for your light to guide me Oh Moon, grab tears from my eyes Bring hope again I wait for the Sun, I wait for the Sun with you There’s darkness around – so lost I reach out Unveiling your scars Embraced by the stars – around is so dark I wait for the Sun And since she’s gone away, I’m wondering why No answers in my mind, must leave her behind Shine in all your light, whisper your thoughts to me Oh Moon, won’t you set me free Shall I leave that gloom, now I see my Moon Me, constellations’ heir Must find what is out there Bring my son to life, and my toll will surpass All the knowledge of man On Pegasus’ wings, we’ll steal the Gods’ fire Show the path to the unknown To our new home

Maximum 06:36
Maximum left me out in the dark Drowning alone in this flood of stars Maximum should have been my own luck My human hunger brought me too far Too much nothing in my eyes to see Searching an escape that will never be, Maximum don’t leave me Begging for help but no one can hear I could sail this infinite sea, Maximum (does) not agree Feel alone in here, no way out, losing control Find terror in me, no more hope, don’t let me go Between the starsi s where my destiny I’ll face Endless knowledge will lead me to my death Future in sight, shall we provide? I know what i’ll lose, don’t know what I’ll find Every light year made me lose fear Losing control, the end is near Just too high, mindless climb This enterprise made me die Can’t I just stay? Can’t I remain? I take one last look For this I’m willing to die, and disappear Point my finger at your face You will be mine at last I crave the end of this pain The struggle will be worth the despair Or will it?

I am falling in the dark Still out there I found myself Into the vacuum of space I fell I am blind towards this mess I feel the movement in my hands Away from the sun, I’m away from the stars Light stolen before my eyes My body feels the weight of time Tear and rips the space I find I’m lost within his watching eye Away from the sun, I’m away from the star Gazing emptiness It moves around and I feel it’s might Space and time collapse I feel a thousand stars collide Gazing emptiness Away from the sun, I’m away from the stars I pray for the Gods, show us our way back home It’s fading away, I’m lost without a trace Feel the body rebuild, into a new formi t feels He left me out in the dark, I feel our souls collide Away from the sun, I’m away from the stars I pray for the gods, show us our way back home I’m feeling the sound of our dead souls below Gazing emptiness No! My senses fade away Space and time collapse No! It all slowly decays Gazing emptiness No! No! Space and time collapse And as time and space collide to create new forms of life, He who dared surpass the knowledge of the Gods fades away The journey of a billion years has come to an end. Tempted by the voice of an angel return to me My aim for freedom destroyed Matter fades away, life caught me with its chains Feel the pressure in me, there’s nothing left to see Am I leaving my mark? I feel our souls rewind Away from the sun, Im away from the stars

about

Our first effort presents a collection of 10 songs, of wich the last four make up a trilogy (+1), a concept: Maximum.

Maximum is the creation of a fictional anti-hero, a spaceship of sorts used to conquer the moon, symbolizing an otherwordly obsession. The journey he embarks on will lead him to an inevitable death in deep space, betrayed by his creature who has abandoned him.

As he gets sucked into a black hole his last seconds are perceived as aeons: interminable while actually lasting just a mere moment.

This story is meant to symbolize all of the obsessions that have the power to hold you back and ultimately destroy your very essence, so you can fight against them and find your own voice in the very complex world we live in.
