The sky lights up in celebration We move back and forth underneath the moon light A new year has begun and we rejoice again Little do we know we are not alone here These souls only see what's in front of them, They can never comprehend the truth you see, Something in the dark corners of our mind, Something sleeps in our time, The end falls near Yet you care only for your mark You now witness The justification of no remorse The end falls near Yet you care only for your mark We now witness The justification of no remorse The dawn of a new age for our kind We will never see ourselves the same again All the rich and poor share the same streets across the globe Looking up to the future that's above our heads Every cloud fades away, every wind dissipates Every life form stops and stares to the sky Shards of silver flow through the atmosphere in unison They open up and release the words You are not worthy of this place We have come to rectify the atrocity You can not object to this truth This world is sick The cleansing Right now. The planets aligned The masses are scattered and blind Right now. The purging takes its course The final solution to the human condition The end falls near Yet you care only for your mark You now witness The justification of no remorse The end falls near Yet you care only for your mark We now witness The justification of no remorse Remorse Within the rain I sink my grip in to the dirt Dragged down through the earth Tearing apart the cities Within the mirror of my eyes I reflect the horizon All souls are drowned No light can escape my stare The cleansing

The perfect time My only reason I cant uphold this I can't pretend I care This fabled low in which I live Follows me through time again Branding me with my actions So far I've never said no These chances, the changes I can't resist them So far I've never said no My conscience, my compulsion This urge to move ahead I'm burning the moral In this dark can you find Animated content for the constant constraints In the oasis In this dark can you find Intertwining control and fixated deceit I am captured Twisted inside Abandoned, all hope is gone I'm searching, seeking new light I am the chosen one Caught in the tide, captivated There's something inside your head No end to the journey I take This crisis, these masses of delusions I believe I'm weak and rotting Lost inside Then i'll hide Faulty practice declines And I see no other sides In this cycle Lost inside Then i'll hide Look through me here and take all that you need I am captured Twisted inside Abandoned, all hope is gone I'm searching, seeking new light I am the chosen one How do you cope Beneath the sea Underneath your needs Debt to the god that calls the sun forth Debt to the soul that gives you your life And debt to the light that fills your eyes

Leave all your dreams In the shadow of your former self Sleep in the flow And melt away This place has reached a new low Population and suffocation Countless eye lines crossing the tapestry Claiming home to the over sold homeland Why let your self become absorbed, Become something worth your time Don't let yourself become the limit Don't count the days until the end of our prison Beyond your capabilities Here in the void of content thought Laid back, as if no consequence Could ever pry your mind No body's going to know You're fading in the grain I've watched you live your life in vein With no purpose for the next day I can't sit still in here The absents of chaos builds up in the air Just wake up from this fiction That this is good enough Invest your soul into anything Something that isn't you Just ignite your mind Take something broken and make it your life Just ignite your mind Please take your time to see those who.. They wait in the silence Come talk to me here in time You could forget all the things that you promised and waste the day to dust Discard no thoughts and show your eyes Make something of this, you only get one Turn something broken into my empire Into my empire Into my world

Despite all of you I will go ahead Despite all your thoughts I will engage Waiting all these years just for this moment Collect every piece just for this feeling. Absence to those that share his path, He moves in accordance to his own needs My friends See how he turns to the sacrament An action which in turn lengthens the tunnel to his mind. Look in my eyes if you can Steer yourself away from me I can see through every element in here and I can see through your dimension I can see through every element in here and I can see through your dimension Please take all my temptations Please replace all my filthy lies. Eyes on the second, he stares at not points but equations of the current happenings Lost in one motionless journey, can he believe his eyes? The spectators take form around the twisting being. They all shout and scream but his skin is that of mirror. I feel free facing the grey (Ladies and gentlemen) Then spend a lifetime in here (Let me present to you) So common for you to judge this (a self sustaining conscience) So common to ask for everything, I’ll give you everything Just for now I will stay, Fixed and set on the prize Can you believe that we had it all Can you endure my journey My journey through this paradise ? I can see in your fantasy Would you care to carry me along I can see in your fantasy Would you care to take me down Don't go wondering Don't go wondering, far from the roads Far from our homes From all those who held you high

Captivator 04:52
She courses down my spine, She forsakes my sinful gaze I wade in the holy water She is my absinthe. All my emotions contort inside my head I feel life will turn and tear Is this reality? Fixate on the crimson moon, I'm caught, the light, the bloom I'm struck by the blackened eyes, I've fallen so so close Ohhh... I must be closer Ohhh... This is divine Divine? While you leached of my soul I dreamt of the unspeakable I now find myself in touch with the goddess of Stealing weak hearted men, calling them from their beds. I can claim that you held on my reasoning I tell myself you denied me all power Yet the more I resist, I am conjured Throw my conscience, I'm feeling much stronger Must you insist on this night Rather then wait, rather than just leave me be Let me live and I will not deny Rather then run, I defy my lover I hoist the sails and set the course. Sin, rather than just run, you and I Even if I have to sail the sea of death My conscience is gone, and I shall fulfill My dreams will be freed regardless of your fate No more weeping out in the silence... No more compassion! Must you insist on this night Rather then wait, rather than just leave me be Let me live and I will not deny Rather then run, I defy My conscience vanished. While my ego conquered. No compassion. Its my needs that prevail. Allow me to live (forever and ever) I will never deny. Deny. Into the sea I sank below so deep Is this my end? Will I ever breath again? Again? Is this my end ? So deep.... Does all life ends?

In solitude, captured by a thought, by a soul idea Who would I be, no self extensions No true capabilities. Well I guess, the rest would be thrown. All my worth, embedded in my careless acts. Under all this old demeanour, anything left? Anything pure? For the sake of my mind I will protest I find comfort in telling myself, this is best. Create goals to entertain my soul. Keep me moving, sustain my affirmation. Drop momentum, behold my heart seizing. In the crowd, dedication prevails Why settle for slow, You can build, you can create. Why settle at all In your world, simply just say. All I need is the purpose to weigh my own name Just the drive to speak of this gives me claim What of those who don't dwell in this mentality? Are they happy or real? I can’t see in their goal. What of me, who thrives in the flux, uncertainty? I am driven, or sick? I could be the only one Why? Why we roll our eyes? Only god has displayed such behaviour I fear I’ll never understand ambition Something not from this world. only seen in the actions of a god Of a god I fear I’ll never understand ambition Something not from this world. only seen in the actions of a god What of those who don't dwell in this mentality? What of me, who thrives in the flux, uncertainty?

I am to the kids what the fire is to light This fear that I grow has me hooked on the side I can't relate to the face I brought to this world Animate my thoughts and fears The only way to believe Can i become one myself A selfless dedicator We all know you sacrificed your goals Though I'm tired of you making it my lesson Making it my lesson, you're the one who miss stepped this time We all know you sacrificed your goals We all know its just your surrender I am to the kids what the fire is to light This fear that I grow has me hooked on the side I can't relate to the face I brought to this world Animate my thoughts and fears, The only way to believe Can i become one myself A selfless dedicator With its cry i'm shattered and awry This new focus is alien to me Everything is animated With its stare i'm engaged and alive This new focus is alien to me Everything is animated Stare at the baby blue Stare at your future Now go to sleep and spend this night in your dream You'll wake again and forget that you ever were free We are caught in a new presence of dependence We will grow to learn no falter As time goes on we morph and retaliate We will pledge to be your cradle Know that this tiredness is endlessly Running you down. never felt so animated

Evidence 05:45
Underneath the surface of my skin There lies a being, insatiable I have learned all on offer in This house or prayer I now seek the truth in the words Depart from the cradles hold Venture beyond understanding Where will you take me, lord Take me to the home of your mercy I can't rest here while I crave For the world beyond Limitless feeding from the creator Time to let go To my surprise In the ocean I drown I find myself on the centre stage Soaked in possibilities, overwhelmed I begin my search for a prophet For a belief I have breathed until This day I fear no thought that presents itself I challenge all who turn this away In my quest for truth I pry too deep Wearing down the surface Depart from the cradles hold Venture beyond understanding Where will you take me, lord Take me to the home of your mercy I can't rest here while I crave For the world beyond Limitless feeding from the universe Even if the entire bible was a myth that doesn't change the fact that I have communicated with god. I have communicated with the mind behind its existence Even if my communication with god was an illusion, god used that illusion to bring me to him. The professor's only response was “that is a very profound and beautifully worded statement” In a single stroke the professor had given my statement about my faith sincere respect But on the other hand completely negated its power. I see things staring back I feel another presence I can't help but follow this Into rabbit hole, I fall away Somehow I can't see you I have found a new world What was essential is gone Reborn I walk away My tongue caught in the back of my through, my chest seized up with adrenaline rushing through my body. Everything I believed laid on an altar waiting to be sacrificed. This Judas was not remorseless, This jJdas seemed filled with guilt. So guilty that he hung himself. I turned back to the verse in Acts and the back to the verse in Mathew's. I braced myself for the consequence that my entire religion was a mistake. Somehow I can't see you I have found a new world What was essential is gone Reborn I walk away Somehow I can't see you

This long night fixed on the reflection Ever shifting self perception Each change causes disbelief in me Satisfied with the slightest anomaly Not once did I ever begin to think that I was my own subject In this analysis of human condition Beneath the outer scales . A clone of a clone is rampant and seeking its future form And now its mind is shielded In the days of conditioning We change our form For the better or so it does seem Walk on this road, we're all but lost Compare the difference, compare our image Now lets compete here, lefts show off to our gods Shifting and changing, we are re-born We change our form again, again Rather than seek faults in the other sides Decimate all remnants of you selfish soul Rather than seek faults in the other sides The other side We sold sins within our interest Now the wave flows through our children We where once the pure and noble men Now we are lost and desperate The offered soul makes way for the changing This offered soul an indication How detached we became from our ideals Something must remain of our former selves As we now shed our skin We adapt to the current simulation Saturation of the ideals Intertwining mess of perspectives Forced down by our parallels

Stare at the edge of divinity You're blinded by the light Now brought to your inner core And revealed for what you are Chained and married to the cause you sort Burnt and buried by regret Now your actions have become your end And the universe reclaims Now infinity has collapsed upon the world you breed on A wave of creation collides with the edges of our time Now you're reduced back to the bare remnants of your kin and Scratching the fields with the scattered bones of your kind Incurventur novo mundo Incurventur ad antiquum We offer this time here to redeem your place in life Provide no compromise, we will not retain our wrath A shard of fathers heart is shattered across the plane Preserve the foundation, become the new lord of man No god can interfere, our salvation lies in his hands We send you to follow the golden light The anchor of Baal's power lies before your quest He will foresee your every action against his new order The way Its told, the worst has been the absolute catalyst The supernova of humanity has cursed us Greater wrongs have cursed these lands Greater wrongs from the hands of man Greater wrongs have cursed these lands Greater wrongs from the hands of man Greater wrongs from the hands of man Incurventur novo mundo Incurventur ad antiquum Greater wrongs have cursed these lands Greater wrongs from the hands of man Liars, and the loyalist have all had there time We must now remove you You have served your purpose here You must now forever leave this place All mortals dissolve in the rain Greater wrongs have cursed these lands Greater wrongs from the hands of man

about

The long awaited second album from online music collaboration band Project Ruins. Featuring members from U.K., USA, Australia, Poland & Sweden.

Project Ruins is a unique and innovative project looking at recording solely through online music collaboration. The artists involved have never met, played or practiced with each other, but manage to produce to create music which stands at the forefront of modern metal music. Combining technicality, crushing breakdowns, and melodic guitar work with a strong emphasis on song structure, Project Ruins showcase the possibilities of Internet music collaboration.

The project essentially began around 2006 when musician David Beaumont decided to write a series of metal songs, with the aim of playing them in a full time touring band. Unfortunately, after taking on a Sound Engineering degree there were various time constraints and it was not possible to do this. An academic project was then drawn up to see how how advances in technology and software have allowed musicians to successfully record and collaborate from different locations. Responses to the idea were immediate with artists from 11 different countries in 5 different continents all expressing an interest in recording. Eventually, a group of exceptionally talented musicians were selected to record and produce what was the groups debut album. The band released their debut album in Fall 2009 and are now releasing the long awaited follow up ‘Closing The Season’ ten years later!

Bigger and better than before - Project Ruins is back!
