Reborn into light
Rise from the ashes I was buried in
I've reached the end of the tunnel
My time alone in the dark ends
New era beginning
Step away from the past
Forward and never look back
Envision the life you dream
Create the future you see
A bleak and dying world
Cursed by its own inhabitants
Taking everything but giving nothing in return
Watch the essence fade away
We can be the change we need
Restoring what has been undone
Visions of the future and memories of the past, were only moving forward
This is the new age
We're alive but we're barely living
The time to start over and make amends begins now
We won't stop til we all are thriving
We won't give up until we shift the paradigm
Let it shine bright and burn like fire
Dispel the corruption that's held us back for so long
Spread your wings let them take you higher
No longer blinded, we will restore our sight
Gliding endlessly / A ghost of my former self
Close my eyes / Let it all fade to black
Cross my fingers / Fate will guide me
A bleak and dying world
Cursed by its own inhabitants
Taking everything but giving nothing in return
Watch the essence fade away
We can be the change we need
Restoring what has been undone
Visions of the future, and memories of the past
We're alive but we're barely living
The time to start over and make amends begins now
We won't stop til we all are thriving
We won't give up until we shift the paradigm
Let it shine bright and burn like fire
Dispel the corruption that's held us back for so long
Spread your wings let them take you higher
No longer blinded, we will restore our sight
No time, there's only seconds
Until we reach the end
No return
Rewinding to restore

Flora
04:40
|

|
Entwined in this perfect second
Growing together side by side
I could feel the cracks in the solid ground
Our foundation decaying
Everything that we have built
Is quickly burning down
Twin flames igniting our surroundings
What is lost will not be found
I watched you blossom
Now I'm wilting alone without you
Tear up the roots from beneath my feet
Return me to the dirt underneath
Flora
Float away from me
I bloomed so brightly
But now I've lost my color
Petals dancing quietly
I dug your grave
But you buried me
Rotting fast, degrade to death
My remains return to the soil
The sky, the earth
I am one in between
Regrow and regenerate
Take your time to start again
The night, the day
I will remain unseen
And as the leaves begin to fall
I'm quickly reminded that there's a cycle
Gravity and time, slowly tearing apart
Everything I know
When daylight dies
There is no way to see the signs
I watched you blossom
Now I'm wilting alone without you
Tear up the roots from beneath my feet
Return me to the dirt underneath
Flora
Float away from me
I bloomed so brightly
But now I've lost my color
Petals dancing quietly
I dug your grave
But you buried me
Cut me loose
Scatter me across the sky
Let me fly away like petals in the wind
Like petals in the wind
I will escape
Liberated
No longer bound to these barren lands
I have been severed
Torn away from all the rotting branches
That held me back

Bleeding Earth
04:06
|
|||
|
The planet is doomed and burning
Humanity is a virus
Killing its host
The death of our mother
The erasal of man
No salvation
Left here to die
All alone upon this bleeding earth
Smoke and soot fill the air
Suffocating slowly
We breathe in the poison
Polluted by our own design
A failure, ashamed
Undeserving of life
Ocean of waste
Forests in flames
We cannot take back
What we have lost
Breaking point
It all comes down to this
I'd rather die now than wait
For your apocalypse
These same hands that create
Are the same that destroy
Driven to our own demise
We're left with empty time
Has God forsaken us
Or just forgotten us?
Cry out to an empty sky
Fists clenched, no reply
We did this to ourselves
Created our own hell
Reaping what we sow
Refusing to see that it was all our fault
We've bled the earth dry
There's nothing left to drain
We're beating a dead horse
Breaking point
I've said it once before
I'd rather die now than wait
For your apocalypse
This is the moment of truth
The time for us to decide, live or die.
All knowing, all seeing
Ever lying, always deceiving
Driven to our own demise
We're left with empty time
Has God forsaken us
Or just forgotten us?
Cry out to an empty sky
Fists clenched, no reply
We did this to ourselves
Created our own hell

Glass Dreams

Disconnect
My body separates from my mind
Shift into the space between
I'm trapped inside of these glass dreams
Shatter me to pieces
This is a fragile vision
An image of the past
Regret I can't take back
A paralyzing fear
The weight of darkness presses down on my chest
My heart beats out of control
I can't seem to catch my breath
Disconnect
Separate from the pain
Becoming infinite
Reconnect
Find the peace that you seek
Searching for solace in silence
I scream but make no sound
The room begins to spin
As I'm gasping for air
The walls are caving in
Your face in the corner
Always haunting me
When will this nightmare end
When will I be free
Always cutting, always slicing into me
The fragments
The shards of these memories
I'm trapped inside of these glass dreams
Shatter me to pieces
This is a fragile vision
An image of the past
Regret I can't take back
A paralyzing fear
The weight of darkness presses down on my chest
My heart beats out of control
I can't seem to catch my breath
A distant sound of hope silenced by echoes of the past
There is nothing left
Shackled soul sever the chains
Disassemble and resurrect

Dark Tide
05:10
|
|||
|
Dark tides rising with the moon
An empty shoreline and a desolate coast
A single set of footprints
Tracing them through the sand alone
It's like a cold dream that I've had before
A strangely familiar place
Recurring images of your face
Adrift, trapped inside this current
The ocean's grip pulling me further
Away from where I want to be
The harder I swim, the deeper I sink
At the bottom I see your face again
I reach out to touch it
But the vision fades away
Returning pain slowly setting
The weight of loss crushing me
A neverending pain that can't be washed away
Like salt in my veins
I'm sinking everyday, drifting far away
I can't be saved
Show me the light of day
Show me the light of day
The air escapes my lungs
Submerged beneath the waves
And now I'm finally home
I'm finally home
I see your light again
I feel your warmth upon my skin
I want to stay here inside this moment forever
Oh, trapped inside this current
The ocean's grip pulling me further
Away from where I want to be
The harder I swim, the deeper I sink
The ending tide swallow me and spits me out
I find myself washed ashore
The sun beating down on my back
Wake in a daze, crawling through the sand
My legs are weak as I try to stand
It's too much to carry on
You were the fire and I'll carry the flame
Its too much to carry on
You were the fire and I'll carry the flame

This type of modern metalcore is usually not my cup of tea. Somehow, Allt knows to hit home with these tracks. The electronic flourishes really are the cherry on the cake.
