Terra Nova
03:56
|
|||
|
Do you feel so out of place,
On a path you cannot trace,
Like a person who fell out of time?
Out of step and out of sync
What you see and how you think.
Are you living on a fragile line?
You can’t expect the world to change
But you can choose just where you go
You know who you really are
Man and mountain cannot change your path
Too late to wait, too far to start up again
Do you feel just like a freak,
With a language they can’t speak?
Like a stranger in an even stranger land?
Gotta find where you belong
Fly your flag and sing your song
It’s a journey and the map is in your hands
Finally, flying free
Don’t look back and don’t look down
You know who you really are
Man and mountain cannot change your path
Too late to wait, too far to start up again

Sabotage
04:40

There’s something in me and it won't come out
I’m full of fear and I’m full of doubt
Every time I try to push it down
It's like a flood and I’m gonna drown
Fighting back, it’s a daily war
Gets tough to get up off the floor
Look at me - my prime of life
Don’t know why I feel like this
Shoot on target but I always miss
It’s like there’s a joke but I can’t laugh
Ordered a full glass but they gave me half
It’s time to even up the score
No need to take it anymore
Look at me - already gone
I’m leaving forever
No reason to stay
I’ll be back after never
Come find me someday
I really don’t want to be here anymore
I’m leaving forever
No reason to stay
I’ll be back after never
Come find me someday

Mayday
05:56
|
|||
|
You hit me like a cannonball
No warning, I could lose it all
I didn’t feel the changing wind
Complacency
A careless sin
Not going down
Without a fight
I hope you brought some help tonight
Holding steadfast to the sky
No Quarter
There’s no compromise
Blinded
Chaos
Fire
A dream becomes a funeral pyre
Not going down
Without a fight
Mayday!
Never meant to happen again
I’m falling in circles
Mayday!
You never see it comin’ and then
You’re going down
I’m gonna sink without a trace
No hand of God
No saving grace
Caught in the ruthless winding gyre
A dream becomes a funeral pyre
Mayday!
Never meant to happen again
I’m falling in circles
Mayday!
You never see it comin’ and then
You are going down

So Far Gone
06:16
|
|||
|
Drifting, defenceless
So tired and senseless
The fearsome swell of tide and time
And nothing here but me
How did I let myself get so far gone?
Lurking demons that I can’t outrun
Faintly fading like the dying sun
A dead wind, a whisper
An ominous shiver
A fleeting thought of who might come
To pull me from the deep
Sleeping, a memory
Trapped in this reverie
There’s no escape or chance to wake
I don’t remember me
How did I let myself get so far gone?
Lurking demons that I can’t outrun
Faintly fading in the dying sun
I’m so tired of fighting
I’m giving up
How did I let myself get so far gone?
Lurking demons that I can’t outrun
Faintly fading like the dying sun

The Tower
09:52
|
|||
|
I’ve been building my tower for days
Every window, every wall, every stone
It’s been hard and I’m tired and bruised
But when it’s finished I’ll make it my home
And I can’t deny there’s a certain thrill
When you just give in to your will
I’ve been building my tower for weeks
And it looks better than I ever even dreamed
And I don’t need your help
I can do it by myself
I’m gonna make it on my own
And I can’t deny that I’m somewhat torn
Did I fall from grace, or am I reborn?
With a newfound strength, I cannot fail
The Tower guides and I will prevail
Filling a void that never ends
I’m running away from all fear and pain
Taking it all, I’ll never stop
I’m hungry for more and this time you can’t keep it from me
Fearless and strange, I am the master
Destiny calls and it sings my name
I’ve taken the black - exhilaration
Feels so alive and this time you can’t keep it from me
Fill the void
Run away
Take the Black
Feel alive
An echo in a tomb
Dreaming of the light
No voice
No reason
No spirit
No fight
The Tower will consume
The Tower is my doom
I see you now for what you are
I’m breaking down the walls
Stone and mortar, lies and hate
Your wicked call
I raised you up a monolith,
Enshrined on hallowed ground
But the hand that builds the dream
Is the hand that tears it down
And now I see I’ve been deceived
Interred with you for eternity
A hint of light may yet save
The Tower is the master
I’m it’s wretched slave
The Tower is the master and the servant must obey
Looking out at the endless night
Judgement calls and I’m terrified
In the end, what was it for?
The Tower stands and I take the fall

Lifeline
04:56
|
|||
|
It’s a dark place to be
Trapped alone with your thoughts
Like the black oily sea
Ebbs and twists and contorts
Come, give voice to your fears
Cut them loose from your tongue, if you dare
There’s only emptiness here
No one to hear you crying out
When you’re drowning in darkness, can’t take any more
And the crashing around you’s too much to endure
When you’re out on your own and can’t weather the storm
There’s a lifeline to bring you to shore
You’ve been drifting away
Time to bring it back home
You’ve been drifting away
Come home
Say a prayer to the wind
Make a deal with your Gods
For a life without sin
Do They fancy your odds?
Swallow your pride
Get down on your knees and repent
Don’t pretend that you’ve died
Your salvation won’t be Heaven sent
When you’re drowning in darkness, can’t take any more
And the crashing around you’s too much to endure
When you’re out on your own and can’t weather the storm
There’s a lifeline to bring you to shore

Too Far Gone
05:29
|
|||
|
Have I chosen the right way?
Have I considered it all?
Did my ambition betray me
And set me up for a fall?
As I start to remember
That it wasn’t all bad
I can’t help but to wonder
If I knew what I had
I’m too far gone to turn back around
See what’s left behind
Now I’m well on my way
But all I want is peace of mind
An uncomfortable feeling
When your bridges are burned
Will the years help with healing
Can the lessons be learned?
I’m too far gone to turn back around
See what’s left behind
Now I’m well on my way
But all I want is peace of mind
I’ve always worn my heart out on my sleeve
It’s never steered me wrong
But it’s hard now to believe
No more deep contemplation
I’ll be staying the course
Could the price of salvation
Be a little remorse?
I’m too far gone to turn back around
See what’s left behind
Now I’m well on my way
But all I want is peace of mind

I Am The Thrall
05:59
|
|||
|
Autopilot daydream takes me to a place I don’t want to be
I check the gauges
There’s nothing wrong
Check in the mirror
There’s nothing wrong
Silent cloud encapsulating Heaven’s shore a nightmare waking
I’m losing power and there’s nothing to be done
On a collision course with the dark side of the Sun
I check the instruments and I can’t make sense of it
‘Cause in my mind there’s a piece that doesn’t fit
I am the Thrall
You’ve been hiding in plain sight, now there’s one thing left to do
I’m gonna pull you out even if it kills me too
I am the Thrall

The Silent Man

Do you remember all the times when you felt you couldn’t make it?
Do you remember all the days when you didn’t want to fake it anymore?
When I think back I can see you
Crying on the floor
Locked up in your life
Too weak to try the door
I remember all your anguish
I remember all your shame
I remember all your heartache
I remember all your pain
Don’t you know?
It was me.
Yes, I remember all the days
I’d rather soon forget
The cold corrupting hold
Of your rancid silhouette
You really had me in your spell
You lead me in the dance
You watched me build a cell
I’ll never have the days you stole from me
You won’t hold me down again
You’re a parasite
You’re not part of me
And I have wasted so much time
Wringing hands and fighting wraiths
Now you’re the last in line
Another shade without a face
Was it worth it, after all?
Did you relish every fall?
Did I get what I deserved?
Speak to me now, are you powerful?
Can you see it through?
Misery, an eternity
I would like to see you try
This ends today
I won’t play your game
It’s time to say goodbye
Take back these chains
Take back this fear and shame
And I’ll take back my life.
Let me in
Together we’re complete
There’s no shame
In dignified defeat
Don’t you see?
It’s easier to just accept me
Let me in
And there’ll be no more doubt
Let me in
You’ll never cast me out
Let me in
Alone, you’re obsolete
Let me in
Together we’re complete.
Falling apart for the final time
Now I can see who you really are
Now I remember all the days
When you weren’t there at all
When the silence had no hold
It took a life to realise
When I really look inside
There’s a tortured counterpart
There’s a gallery of scars but
There’s no monster in the dark
Now I’m seeing crystal clear
Down the barrel of my life
And there’s nothing left to fear
You’re too quick to be outrun
Too strong to overcome
Everywhere I go, you’re there
Sacred sanctum torn apart
Rising feather, falling heart
There’s no monster in the dark
This ends today
I won’t play this game
It’s time, say goodbye
Take back these chains
Take back this fear and shame
And I’ll take back my life
You left me all alone like a broken toy
Festering in darkness like a ghost
Is it any wonder that the frightened boy
Grew to be the thing you fear the most?
We used to be the same
I won’t accept surrender
There’s no chance for armistice
My name is Domination
My word is Absolute
Let me in
We used to be the same
But now I’m something more
You’ll never cast me out, I’m in your soul
And this means war
As the violence falls to words
And words become as breath
All around, the heavy toll
A pale reflection among the ghosts
Beyond the veil of years
The splintered spirit now made whole
There are some wars that can’t be won
Some beasts that can’t be slain
No silver bullet, no crucifix
But if you believe you can be broken,
Believe you can be fixed
This ends today
We’ll find a better way
It’s time - say goodbye
So take my hand,
You’re not the Silent Man,
You’re part of me
I’m part of you

Terra Nova II

They say that life is not a destination
It’s the steps you take
The road you choose and how you make your way
Can you reach the End and be better than the start?
Can you keep your head and also keep your heart?
Here we are at journey’s end
Face to face and hand in hand
Are you the one that I’ve been looking for?
Are you the one I knew before?
They say that life should be a great adventure
Chart a course, save the world
Slay a dragon, get the girl
If you run aground, miss the boat
The monster snarling at your throat
Can you live and know you gave everything you had?
Here we are at journey’s end
We’re face to face and hand in hand
Are you the one that I’ve been looking for?
Are you the one I knew before?
Drift away
Time won’t wait
Seize the day
Time won’t wait
But what if life can offer nothing certain?
There is one thing and with the trickling of time
He will find us all, and it’s ours to decide
The person that he’ll find
You know who you really are

Captured By Emptiness
by Uzziel
supported by 21 fans who also own “Terra Nova”
Successful reset. I have been following Uzziel since 2014. And I already know this song from Torn Apart. This here seems to be a new version and I love it. The great thing is getting it directly as a download. Fans of Thrash, Groove, and Dark Metal, which here and there also reminds me somehow of Sepultura, should grab it.

The Vermin Within
by Infestation

Good and fast old school thrash reminding me of Toxic Holocaust and Municipal Waste. I really like all songs here too so it’s hard to pick just one as favourite. Highly recommended for all metalheads liking the above mentioned bands and fast paced thrash in general.
