KORENI(I) Притури се планината и затрупа ни сърцата. Път зове ни, корен тегли и разкъсва ни душата.
2.
FALLING HELPLESSLY IN A DREAM At the end of a dream voices rush to the conscious mind. Chains embrace the dreamers in a comforting grip. Reality sets in, desires crawl back into the depths. Amnesia poses as freedom, passions banned and denied. Imposed morals surround as the wheel keeps going around. False illusions abound - sleepwalking six feet into the ground. Dream… Choking progression and losing relation, enchained in dogmas, living in dreams. What we call ‘human’ is keeping us hostage guarded by ghosts of old, dying doctrines. Reality is a dream is reality. Tell me, is reality only a dream? Busy with life of simple distractions, preoccupied with others’ disease, we etch the days on the walls of our prison, hoping to find a reason to live. We are the sleepers, we march to the war drums, recite old slogans. We’re living the dream. Wake up! The only chains are inside your mind.

Immerse 04:31
IMMERSE Broken inside – pariah, swallow your pride – pariah. Eaten by grief – you suffer, blinded by guilt – you suffer. Walking a path - not your own, wearing a mask – you go on. Giving is hard – you give up, living is tough – don’t give up. Beaten and neglected, monitored, dissected – slave away tomorrow, cry a river of sorrow. But tonight is your own, hearts are light – we go on. All as one we’re screaming, reclaim our lives – we’re screaming. Yeeeaaaaaaaah! We all came here to feel, to immerse in the grace of sound, to forget what gets us down. But to feel alive we all must give. SCREAM! Give all you’ve got! Life’s got us by the throat and the noose is getting tighter, but tonight we share it all, tonight our minds are lighter. Immerse into now, forget the limits, become the universe. Tonight’s the time to live.

WHEN WORDS MEAN NOTHING Words cut deep. Take the blade to skin – shed blood! Words leave scars. Fire holes in the mind – shed blood. Words ignite wars leave mountains of bodies – shed blood. Words are weapons! And everything you say penetrates my mind, I’m bleeding inside. Paralysed! Every time new messiahs arise igniting the hearts of the heartless, every new chosen prophet commits to raping the minds of the mindless – sheep congregate, bleating in choir, to follow the leader. Absurdity prevails. One step forward – two steps back. When words mean nothing, take the blade to skin – shed blood. When words mean nothing, fire holes in the prophets – shed blood. When words mean nothing, leave their bodies to rot – shed blood. I use words to entice you. I use words to tame you. I use words to corrupt you. I use words to obtain you. I use words to transform you. I use words to retain you. I use words to control you. I use words to kill you. And I won’t wait for your lies to embrace me like shadows, to digest me from inside, to suck out all my marrow. And I won’t sit in dismay, I’ll strike! I’m gonna find you someday, I’m gonna break through your shell, I’ll paralyse every cell. I’ll see you in hell! С думи ще те унищожа, мръсен роб! С поглед ще те изпепеля! Ще те заровя под земята!

AGAINST ALL ODDS Against all odds: fight! There is a ritual of holding nothing residual, of taking everything literal. There is a fire inside, we’ve got nothing to prove and nothing to hide. There is a storm against us, a sea of pure disgust, no one ever to trust. But us! A smoking gun in the scene, heads will be rolling it seems we’ve got the whole world to clean. Our worlds – colliding, still screaming and fighting, these words are binding. Against the current we flow, against the grain we grow, stronger than ever before! Against all odds: fight! We won’t conform to meet your norms, we’re going strong against the world. We won’t bow down to petty clowns, we hold our ground while the sheep are drowning. There is a ritual where breaking rules is habitual and making music – spiritual. There is a fire inside, incinerating the demons riding against the tides. There is a storm against us, biting the bullet’s a must we die young and live fast. We carve our path alone when all the roads are blocked and fake friends are all gone. On the edge we thrive, when it’s hard to survive into the deep we dive. Your ways we abhor, we keep fighting this war, stronger than ever and ever before. Against all odds: fight!

POISON ME (I) Poison me! Anything I see – I’ll pretend I’m blind. Every time I think – I’ll numb my mind. Every single day – I’ll bow and I’ll pray. Every single night – I’ll dream of your grace. Poison me!
7.
POISON ME (II) I will swallow! Everything you say I’ll blindly obey. I will follow! You can take my hand and lead me astray. I’ll keep quiet! You can rob me and I’ll happily pay. I’ll deny it! If reason gets in the way. Poison! Poison me! Everything you spit I’ll take it and I’ll swallow. Poison! Everything you do I’ll worship and accept. Poison! Every single step I’ll trust you and I’ll follow. Poison! Please save me and forgive my sins! I thought I felt something, I was obviously wrong. I had questions, you had answers, who am I to question your own god. Let me go! I am only asleep. You say you’re the way, you say you’re the truth, you say you’re the life, you say I’m lost and fucking blind.
8.
UNBROKEN I still remember the days when speaking your mind was dangerous, but we did it anyway: “fuck the system”. I still remember the nights we dreamt of changing the world with a spark in the eyes: “we’ll make a difference”. And our mothers always told us: “Gotta keep those voices down”. And our fathers always told us: “Gotta keep those voices down”. And our teachers always told us: “Gotta keep those voices down”. But our hearts were always screaming: “Never keep those voices down”! Unbroken! Submission by ignorance. The chain is forged – the trap is set. To twist and break the human spirit, breeding clones of mindless slaves – new religion of submission: the demise of all humanity. Abolish those voices, raging through your head. Rise up! Burn those bridges, torch the tower of obedience. Rise up! Reject! Liberate!
9.
DELUSION Devoured your Gods with my mind, your Demons, I’ve absorbed. Surrendered illusion - calloused unborn. Sound the final trumpet! Again and again and again and again. And every single moment we’re bombarded with threats, lies and false flag operations. Treated like herd, overdosed by entertainment, poisoned, flogged, skinned and buried alive. There is no mastery of this. There is no mystery in this. Very few succeed to escape the doctrine and question the world around them. And the fewer who dare to oppose the paradigm in search for truth and justice, are merely trampled to death by the herd. There is no mastery of this there is no mystery in this. It's all delusional, it's all just a dream. It's only the tip of the iceberg, top of the mountain. Years of lies ingrained in us, engraved in our hearts, in our minds. Did I say I had all the answers, well I was wrong. Fucking wrong! I don't even get the questions. Why didn’t you tell me, where did you go? Why did you leave me here all alone? Haze embraces everything I’ve ever known. The endless cycle turned into my prison with no walls. Blinded and devoured I go through life, but not my own. There’s nothing more, no place left for me and you to go. Meaningless despondent existence. How dare you blame me! You cog, you leach, you slug, you bitch, you've taken everything! Everything! I'm shedding all my skins, I’m shedding all my hopes. The end gets near by the day, as the agony continues and I am part of the delusion. Perpetuate your parade, your masquerade, your charade. Perpetuate!

KORENI (II) The mountain collapsed and buried my heart. It’s still there in Rila from the very start. Journey calls me, roots keep pulling, I’m forever torn apart! When I look at the sky, I forget my own shadow, I remember those eyes. Roots dug up by tornados.
