Faithful Darkness
Archgod




1. Lies Tells The Truth

Worthless enemy
Depicting my strengths
My wrath defeated you,
The proud faceless shadow

Stand up, you weakling
Prepare to beat me down
I want our dance to end
I need you to judge me

Make me fall slowly
Project your dislike towards my actions
Let me hit the concrete
Allow it to eco as lies tells the truth

Spineless blame
Please, raise your voice
Claim your moral rights
And punish the sin

How can I apologize
When I can’t feel sorry
Denying me my only chance of repentance

Rise, bow and bleed
Deprive my regret

Make me fall slowly
Project your dislike towards my actions
Let me hit the concrete
Allow it to eco as lies tells the truth

Forget it all, the shame and sorrow
There’s nothing to repair
My affections, they were never real
And neither was my grief


2. Snake & Muse

Oh darling, won’t you please come closer
Have a second look at me
Gaze upon your masterpiece
Here I stand, weakened and demoralized
Ready to carve a scar into you

I know it was intentionally, you see
Repentance just isn’t you
But my question remains
Did you ever even care?

Indeed, some admiration beneath my mutation
I don’t have your talents, coping with that balance
Both snake and muse, a seductive animosity
You! A catatonic monstrosity

I have become surrounded
A captive entwined
By your indifference
A slave deprived of his chains

Our mutual understanding gone in statistics
Your disguised betrayal reeks self-satisfaction
Well, it’s time baby, time for retaliation
Some harmless flame-infused flirtation

Serenading watching you burn
Torn and ablaze

I have become surrounded
A captive entwined
By your indifference
A slave deprived of his chains

Surrounded
And entwined
By indifference
Deprived of my chains
Of my chains


3. The Witness

In a world where everything
Is controlled by numbers
There we’ll strike the hardest
We’ll question your irrelevant authority

You think that suit will save you
That bills are equal bulletproof
Sentenced to pull your own switch
First a scream, then one last twitch

We are the witness
We stood by and watched
As your need consumed us all
Watch your precious empire fall

Pulverized
Into oblivion
A new world decorated
In dust and flames

The survival game just stared
I’ll feast upon you soon
Your statement will be heard
Every pathetic, lying last word

That suit didn’t save you
Neither could bills buy you safety
We drank to the revolution
Ridding ourselves of your constitution

We are the witness
We stood by and watched
As your need consumed us all
Watch your precious empire fall

We are the witness
We stood by and watched
Retribution is finally at hand
Brothers, carry out the last command


4. An Ocean Of Time

So you placed me here
Without thinking twice about
Adding more hate to the world
Can’t you see, I’m a hater
And wouldn’t hesitate
To choke you with a halo

When I start to feel
That a storm
Is coming
That righteousness is at hand
The world is a hangout for sinners
A nest for nocturnal beginners

Do not despair, there’s an ocean of time
As physical beings, we are disposable

Isn’t it pathetic?
That I might just be
Your only true friend
The one with all the answers
There’s no glorious revolution
Nor that last tango
No pretty lights for you
No déjà vu

When I start to feel
That a new dawn
Is clearing the sky
That righteousness had its way
We baptized the world in gasoline
And blessed it with a burning match

Perceptual values is all we were given
To match the emptiness, I was driven
To give all I had, assuming the worst
Nothing remains, ash quenched my thirst
Expecting to fail, shut up and inhale
Like the rest of mankind you will bail
I’m just trying teaching you to sees the present
So fill up your glass, consent and prevent

Do not despair, there’s an ocean of time
As physical beings, we are disposable
The breaths of life are numbered
Our days were meant to end
The cycle’s calling for us
Calling our return

CALLING OUR RETURN


5. Paradise

Decimate
Pretentious words
Ritualized
Paradise

Would you be so kind?
You see, our actions, they are entwined in delicate dance
So please, take a seat beside me
And watch your precious Eden vanish in flames
Ritualized transparent paradise justifying the
Relinquishments of fate

There’s nobody else to blame
We watched as the world was set ablaze
And when it’s passed, the final storm
From ruins we’ll be reborn

Equal progression towards extinction
No more formulated, fabricated distinction
We are the spawn, descendants of the dark
Marching – an army without a mark

Genetically composed failing machines
And this is beauty, because we are one
No gods will sever us or blame our virtues
A soulless mass capable of brilliance

There’s nobody else to blame
We watched as the world was set ablaze
And when it’s passed, the final storm
From ruins we’ll be reborn

A ritualized
Transparent paradise
Justifying the
Relinquishments of fate

There’s nobody else to blame
We watched as the world was set ablaze
And when it’s passed, the final storm
From ruins we’ll be reborn


6. Where Stars Burn…

I might have blamed you unfairly
Compelling thoughts of resentment
The stars we collected did never shine
Nothing more than partial contentment

Well, it might be time to face the music
To admit my faults and reject my pride
This separation was never your creation
Neither was it you who poisoned my view

Let my senses fade out
Beyond fear and doubt
A place where stars burn, to go and die
With closed eyes I try - Beneath a black sky

A fallen king, who’s lost his crown
In his doings I see sorrow
A self-inflicted starvation campaign
To cleans and return back to zero

I witness
An empty desperate man

Let my senses fade out
Beyond fear and doubt
A place where stars burn, to go and die
With closed eyes I try - Beneath a black sky

I might have blamed you unfairly

Let my senses fade out
Beyond fear and doubt
A place where stars burn, to go and die
With closed eyes I try - Beneath a black sky


7. Banished

You can’t be very proud
Regarding that your actions failed
The holy race is extinct
You were the first to be nailed

The earth is swarmed with sins
Neglected and left alone
We won’t pay your price through skins
Watch us from your heavenly throne

There’s strength within our race
Our bloody banners are held high
This world is ours to reclaim
And your paradise for us to rename

I sealed your fate with hate
Exiled from the heart of man
Banished in shame
A broken piece in the human plan

You preached using tainted words
We wouldn’t listen, wouldn’t be fooled
This planet is a battlefield
We’ve armed ourselves, we won’t be ruled

I sealed your fate with hate
Exiled from the heart of man
Banished in shame
A broken piece in the human plan


8. The End Of It All

When the black snow falls
It dresses the world
In a new burial gown
The winds of man are vanished
Our civilized codes are banished
Where were you in all this?
Enjoying your tranquilizing bliss?

We all stood accused
But judgement day never came
Nor were our iniquities convicted
We didn’t walk hand-in-hand
Neither stood we proud or united
When the horizon flatlined the world
We didn’t stand proud or united
We saw the horizon flatline our world

And then there was silence…
No songs of sorrow were sang…

And then there was silence…
No songs of sorrow were sang…
And then there was silence…
No bravery to echo across the centuries

We all stood accused
Charged with moral obligations
Designed for the purpose to control
Keep us from revolting, strike and evolve
We’re all equals, just flesh and bones
Bi-products, experience the final tones
A symphony of stillness, coloured with dust
The soundtrack to the deeds of our lust

And then there was silence…
No songs of sorrow were sang…
And then there was silence…
No bravery to echo across the centuries
And then there was silence…
Only a whisper, the last breath of mankind
And then there was silence…
We were all born to die


9. Corrupted

How can a piece of paper
Dictate my existence
Why is necessary assistance
A quantitative decision

Is it impossible to see
Beyond the norms of man and society.
Denied by the
Corrupted Collective

I reached out, I raised my voice
Enabling my escape
From the darkest inch inside
As I drown the voice astride

Considered lucrative dream-machines
Worthless shells, shaped by artificial means
Incompetent mind-shifting drones
Labeled and archived, express-packaged clones

Is it impossible to see
Beyond the norms of man and society.
Denied by the
(Corrupted Collective)

I can’t change my part to play
In the symphony of life
A demanding extra
A pretty case with nothing inside

Is it impossible to see
Beyond the norms of man and society.
Denied by the
(Corrupted Collective)


10. Shaping A Horizon

Don’t try to excuse your behaviour
By falling in line, obeying command
When did we sacrifice
To become a part of the machinery

Be one before
Many is more
Rule as your own
Superior to any clone

Let’s take a stand
Against the elite
Becoming the one
To set our own guidelines

Don’t set the limits
When you’re shaping a horizon
Live like you’re free
Perspectives beyond to be

Be one before
Many is more
Rule as your own
Superior to any clone

Don’t set the limits
When you’re shaping a horizon
Live like you’re free
Perspectives beyond to be


11. Archgod

This ain’t gonna be a false display of complaints
This is my fury
Overwhelming the sane, raging, violent, vehement
WE ARE NO SAINTS
A final psychotic chapter, sanctified by me
So brothers, salute the free

Marked by the guilt
Condemned by the weak
There’s time been spilt
Rise, shine and bespeak

Here we stand
With the world in our hand
Ready to command
The only life we’ll ever have
Archgods

How often don’t we neglect the certainty of joy
We pride ourselves with absence
An endless thirst, a hunt for the sinner’s wine
Breathe the lust of millions
Aren’t we kings of our existence
Rulers bred to be slaves

Here we stand
With the world in our hand
Ready to command
The only life we’ll ever have

Here we stand
With the world in our hand
Ready to command
As archgods,
We are archgods!

Weak, broken
Succumb to filth
Beaten, pathetic
Spoiled by guilt

Here we stand
With the world in our hand
Ready to command
The only life we’ll ever have

Here we stand
With the world in our hand
Ready to command
As archgods,
We are archgods!


12. One And The World

What if I told you?
That tomorrow will mark
The dawn of a new era

What if I told you?
That we’ll be a part of it
As long as we intend to live

Rise, brothers of mine
Feast upon a realm
Rise, rebuild
A nation made from empathy
Cause we’re one
And one shall rule

So let’s decide on a set of principles
Every man shall be judged
And by judgement shall he live
So let’s forge this code in stone

Rise, brothers of mine
Feast upon a realm
Rise, rebuild
A nation made from empathy
Cause we’re one
And one shall rule

Rise, brothers of mine
Feast upon a realm
Rise, realize
The end of our empires
We should be one
And one shall rule
