Upon A Reign Of Ashes

When ignorance is just a beginning,
when life means only "breathing",
where nobody cares about nothing
today, today we (have to) fight.
Beliefs, creeds and convictions or hypnosis through lies?
Choices, paths, ways and views or ridiculous theater?
Upon a reign of ashes ,
the truths are written on the sand.
Upon a reign of ashes,
those truths fail in this mankind.
So many footprints are left to those who follow them
and too many signs will change soon after (your) reading.
Once in the Abyss, none will point you to the way out
and you’ll know that Truth is just a broken promise.

Chant scares,
the ritual has begun.
Wound hurts but the blade goes deep and deeper inside.
Screams around,
the ritual has begun.
Limbs bound and the blade goes deep and deeper inside.
Nobody can hear your screams,
silent words spat out of your mouth.
Your eyes are wide open,
you are forced to look up to the sky above.
Force fades away,
the clouds and crows are awaiting
but your fists are still clenched.
In this darkest night, one more tear has fallen
and the leaves are dancing with the wind.
Surrounded only by trees, alone with his pain,
a man bound by fears and inertia
takes his final breath.

Remembrance

No, you couldn’t forget those who failed.
No, they cannot leave you alone.
Trespassing the time just for one touch,
they are here, in yourself:
A mother is smiling, a master is clapping for you.
How long you’ve ignored them!
Echoes of Idols.
No, the Death hasn’t erased their voices.
No, they haven’t left you adrift.
Trespassing the time just for one touch,
they are here, in yourself:
a child at play, an old man and his past.
How long you’ve ignored them!
Echoes of Idols.
A quiescence of memories for a long time,
you’ve lost their trails and now it seems to be no other choice:
The Remembrance.

Coward, are you lame or die hard?
The dark outside can't make us more blind.
the howl inside suggests us the answers:
Awaken the senses and scare them
to unconscious death,
just a reversion to fierce
feel the anger like wood for fire
and show them how to burst it!
let‘ em know (it)!
There are a lot of beasts inside us
don't let them bleed in a cage.
Cowardice chains and misery,
is this the fate of our specie?
Gnash your teeth and clench your fists
and let them hear you laugh.
-Why?
Don’t ask,
fight or yield.
Gnash your teeth and clench your fists
and let them hear you laugh.
-Why?
Don’t ask,
fight or yield.
Stop thinking about the Good and the Evil,
it's time for action, now!
Starving animals stop thinking how to eat,
they just start to hunt, go!

Whispers To The Headless
03:11

Doubts, crawling in mind as infections
the Truth is denied in this life.
Lies are crowning the Ego
and like maggots are devouring the conscience .
I don't care what you preach everyday
I don't care what they said
in only one Dogma I still believe: "NO FAITH"
Contradictions collapse,
unanswered questions...but they ‘re still whispering
in the ears of the headless!
"NO FAITH"
Words, spread out as vile germs.
Masquerades, mimic yourself to (your) surrounding
and lead all the others on a wild-goose chase.
"NO FAITH"

The Forlorn War

Sometimes it’s late for a remedy but it’s never too late to understand.
Solitude, your certainty wavers down.
Solitude, the doubts grow and hunt your soul.
A Treachery and the strength you gained ‘til this time
Fades away fades away , a point of no return.
A Treachery and everything you believed ‘til now
Falls away, falls away, you’re on the brink of precipice
No one can help you, wipe out your allies, forget them.
Thirsty in the banquet, searching for delights.
Look, how many allies vanish in bad times.
How many of them hold out their hands to you?
Nothing is useless in life, no while has to be erased,
win or lose you’ve made a step forward.
The lower you fall, the higher you have to rise.
The lower you fall, the higher you have to RISE!
Suddenly the will revives as a spark.
Suddenly you don’t stagger anymore!

Cold wind blows.
Sun is trapped in the dark curtain of night.
Don’t wait for the light to shine,
hope does not heal your suffering.
From the depth of your soul,
a parade of faces and voices
are coming out… so vivid, this isn't only a dream.
One of them without eyes to see
is pointing to the sky.
Breathless silence.
The light is passing through the black
and slitting the clouds.
From the depth of your soul,
a parade of faces and voices
Ghosts around you… (so pacifying presences) no fear.
One of them without eyes to see
is covering your face and lifting your soul…

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
