Arcaine - Relentless

The sound of perdition echoes through my head
Denying the truth right in front of my eyes
So evil and wicked this world seems to me
When your life takes a shift fast and unforeseen

Wake me up from this nightmare
Set me free from this cruel reality

Something snapped in my brain
Overflown by a blinding fury
In a burst of despair
Drifting me into insanity
When your last breath has gone
Getting consumed by anxiety
Cannot take a step back
Slowly learning that all life is fragile

Why now? How on earth do I deserve this?
Why her? Am I haunted by the god of misfortune?
Why now? I’m just a shell of my former self
Why her? Beseech the devil as all life decays

Sadness has taken control
Words can’t express my grief
In sorrow I’d cast all away
The only way I feel embraced

Can’t I take back control?
Isn’t there a possibility?
Can’t I take a step back?
Leaving me without dignity
Why am I doomed to fail?
Am I travelling through agony?
What is left in the end?
Will I ever find my peace of mind?

Controlled by your dreams
Controlled by your fears
Controlled by your dreams
Controlled by your fears

This World is very different
From what you’ve expect it to be
Here every mistake counts
Bound to your responsibility
If you don’t fit in these shoes
You will be shaped from the start
You cannot choose which path to take
You’re crippled by your fear

Close your eyes ascend to the sky
Close your eyes ascend to the sky
Close your eyes ascend to the sky

Close your eyes descend into sleep
Enter your dreams
Only here you’re truly free
Embrace your dreams
You’re confused by truth and lie
Lost in your dreams
Hide yourself from reality
Imprisoned in mind

Tell me are you truly free, truly free
Tell me are you truly free, are you truly free

The only thing on your mind
Chasing your dreams
Neglecting everyone that is dear
Living your dreams
Sacrifice everything recklessly
Lost in your dreams
Turning yourself into a numb machine
Imprisoned in Mind

Tell me are you truly free, truly free
Tell me are you truly free, are you truly free

An Illusion of freedom we’ll be servants endlessly

The hazard is pervasive
Infecting us with all devouring hatred born out of fear

Finally we’re free, to precious the price we paid
Ignorance and selfishness the reason for this misery
Can we rebuild what is lost?
Broken trust can’t be restored

Indoctrinating our mind
Dividing us at the core
Creating mindless machines

Orchestrating the masses
Just to create two classes

Finally we’re free,
To precious the price,
Ignorance and selfishness
The reason for this misery
The reason for this misery, misery, misery
Can we rebuild what is lost?

So open up your mind
Freed from this frantic world, freed from insanity
Rest your soul while listening, to this melody
From sirens above the clouds, where sorrows fade away

Relentless we pursue the promised gold
Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath
While we walk the abyss we are following our bliss
While we yearn for fortune we forget the way of life

Change

Relentless we pursue the promised gold
Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath

While we walk the abyss we are following our bliss
While we yearn for fortune we neglect the sin of life
Hunted by our ghosts, overtaken by our fears
Relentless we all dig our grave, there will never be a change

The Clock is our master, our master, our master
And we are its slaves, its slaves, its slaves
In mind we are creators, creators, creators
But in truth we just obey, compulsion, oppression

Relentless we pursue the promised gold
Worthless in the end, when we take our dying breath

While we walk the abyss we’re following our bliss
While we yearn for fortune we neglect the sin of life
Hunted by our ghosts, overtaken by our fears
Relentless we all dig our grave, there will never be a change

Since the dawn of existence
We strive for perfection
Conquer a land to ensure
The survival of our kind

Longing for your goal
Longing for your goal
Repress them with your might
Repress them with your almighty Power

Introduce the survival of the fittest
A fate you can't change or disavow
Altering your equilibrium

Can’t you see their suffering eyes
The desire for change
Accelerate the looming disaster
A sign that you are still alive

What does it mean to be?
Driven to progress, driven to change
Breaking your identity
Broken and outcast you’re roaming the worlds
What does it mean to be?
Grasping the truth, accepting your deeds
In the end you’re still alive

Longing for your goal
Longing for your goal
Repress them with your might
Repress them with your almighty Power

Introduce the survival of the fittest
A fate you can't change or disavow
Altering your equilibrium

Still alive
What does it mean to be?
Driven to progress, driven to change
Breaking your identity
Broken and outcast you’re roaming the worlds
What does it mean to be?
Grasping the truth, accepting your deeds
In the end you’re still alive

Release
Release the counterbalance
We shoulder the weight of the world
Frailty is in us all, no self-control

Is a world of illusion, taking place in our minds?
Earth bound to erupt
Poisoned by its mankind

Burning skin
Bloodshot eyes
Inhaling the Venom
Provoking our own demise

Is this the next step of evolution?
A cold feeling is running through my veins
Open your eyes
Before it crashes down

There is no change, taking place in our mind
Our actions infecting the earth

Burning skin
Bloodshot eyes
Inhaling the Venom
Provoking our own demise

Self-inflicting thoughts
Taking place in our minds
Like mutated parasites
The poison is called mankind

Trying to hide the truth, hide the truth
From the masses
Carelessly you proceed, you proceed
To exploit it all

There’s no turning back, turning back
From progress
When you drop your mask, drop your mask
It will be our time

No return, accept your faith
Your filthy gains, turns us insane
All life counts, a simple truth
It’s your time to get replaced

You are not prepared, not prepared
So suffer
You failed to adapt, to adapt
A changing world

Can’t keep all your wealth, all your wealth
You’ve cherished
Can’t you see the doom, see the doom
You will awake

No return, accept your faith
Your filthy greed turns us insane
All life counts, a simple truth
It’s your time to get replaced

Behind your blackening eyes, blackening eyes
You wait in fear
All your luck has gone, luck has gone
Soon you’ll be dead

With the very last, very last
Strength you’ve got
Clinging to your might, to your might
As it fades away

No return, accept your faith
Your filthy gains, turns us insane
All life counts, a simple truth
It’s your time to get replaced

From the ashes another tyrant rises
From the ashes another tyrant rises to rule…

The world we live in is destined to fail, destined to fail
Extracting all resources until it’s too late
An Eruption will occur deep within the earth
This will be the end of all life, leaving the planet void

Destruction will bring us void
Humanity, the cause of this void
Trapped in a never ending fear of void
Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire

When all resources have been consumed, have been consumed
The system will collapse now adapt or die
The Corruption lies too deep within our mind
And leads to the same destiny, nothing but void

Destruction will bring us void
Humanity, the cause of this void
Trapped in a never ending fear of void
Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire

But it’s not empty and black
Then tonight we light up the void
The Void, no Choice

A storm breaks out, a prophecy
Rebellion, leading to awakening

Proclaim yourself the eternal king (eternal king)
Starring from above, targeting his prey
But let me tell you this, you’re irrelevant
Then in the end you turn to, nothing but void

Destruction will bring us void
Humanity, the cause of this void
Trapped in a never ending fear of void
Then no one will dare to ignite, the guiding fire
