Garden of Bones
04:34
|

In the coldest moonlight
Dreams are forever
If you bury them deeper
‘till they can’t be found
Only you will remember
safer if you can hide
your dirty secrets
in the garden of bones
The soil is shaking
Trees are waking
I go crazy
Feel their embrace
they creep from behind
Oh even if I could
don’t want to let them go
under the earth my thoughts
you cannot expose
On a bench near the edge of green
A disarticulated doll
holding the sadness that can’t be seen
In the Garden of Bones
In the strangest manner
the deeper dreams are sown
the strongest they will grow
and turn into weed
No one can enter
No one will ever find
My dirty secrets
are the roses I seed
On a bench near the edge of green
A disarticulated doll
holding the sadness that can’t be seen
In the Garden of Bones
Groans and sounds cracking the ground
trapped and bound, I found myself crowned
with nettles and thorns
to be the queen of the garden of bones
I live six feet underground
I hear the sounds, trapped and bound
I’ve found myself crowned
To be the queen of my Garden of Bones
I live six feet underground
On a bench near the edge of green
A disarticulated doll
holding the sadness that can’t be seen
in this Garden of Bones
Found myself crowned
to become the queen
of the garden of bones
guarding the sadness
that can’t be seen
in my Garden of Bones

Where Rivers Flow Pt.2

Try to make sense of what you say just for once
Look at all my friends, you’re free to join, we’re having tea
Time to grow up, our expectations are high
Would you like a cherry, look ! A cat up the tree
When I heard you again, I tried to recall
Who I was and what I said, the way I made you laugh
But I can’t get it back and change who we were
Stay with me some more, draw me lands unexplored
Foolish little things that shaped our worlds
Places we used to hide away
Take me back where rivers flow - Help me remember
Send me stories left untold - And we can stay here forever
Allowed heavens to drown
Let me enter, give me shelter, let us hide away
Left the deserts dry
Can’t recall the moment when I lost my memory
Now I hear you again, you’re pounding the wall
Who you were and what you said, the way you made me laugh
But I can’t get it back and change who we were
Any road can take you if you don’t know where to go
Better to be feared than to be loved
How we drove ourselves apart
Take me back where rivers flow - Help me remember
Send me stories left untold - And we can stay here forever
When my eyes can’t see, show me where to go
Back to where the rivers flow
Colors left unseen, we will catch them all
Back to where the rivers flow
Take me back where rivers flow - Help me remember
Send me stories left untold - And we can stay here forever
Take me back, take me back - Send me stories left untold
Where the rivers flow - Where the rivers flow

Blood Red Ink
04:52
|

|
The limbs of chaos are the gates to the realms of death
I’ll fake the truth and I’ll suck your final breath
Walled in pain and agony
I’ll teach you how to fear
There is no cure for gravity
When all hopes disappear
Close your eyes
Take my hand
And let yourself sink
Drink all of your lies
I’ll drown your head
I’ll drown your head… in blood red ink
The scripts of mankind’s history
Are written with your own blood
A twist of vice and irony
And you’re swept away to perish in the flood
Close your eyes
Take my hand
And let yourself sink
Drink all of your lies
I’ll drown your head
Just close your eyes
Take my hand
And let yourself sink
Drink all of your lies
I’ll drown your head… in blood red ink
The pen of fate is writing words like scars in a book made of human skin
And every little grudge you hold, will reveal the roots of your gravest sin
I’ll drown your head… in blood red ink
I’ll drown your head… in blood red ink
BLOOD RED INK…

Every Scar Tells a Story
04:26
|
|||
|
Like a constant reminder
Every scar tells a story
Just tell me what is yours
and why it bleeds so endlessly
A river of red ink flowing
That writes the saddest tale
A vine that keeps on growing
Upon your skin, fragile and pale
I wouldn’t dare to touch you
I wouldn’t wanna crack you
the tiniest scratch could hold you back from me
The cuts and the flaws, the camouflage
the bruises near your eyes
A dissonant score, a sabotage
That drapes you in the lies
Trading life for a show, you weave a mirage
hold the curtain tight
I try so hard to read the lines
in each one of your scars
I wouldn’t dare to judge you
I wouldn’t wanna lose you
The slightest hitch would keep you far from me
They say that time is a healer
But forever the scars remain
The cuts and the flaws, the camouflage
the bruises near your eyes
A dissonant score, a sabotage
That drapes you in the lies
Trading life for a show, you weave a mirage
hold the curtain tight
I try so hard to read the lines
in each one of your scars

Scarier Than You
04:24
|
|||
|
Flames of hell burn like a cold fire that brands my skin
The tales you tell with the mouth of a liar make me dirty and mean
You, you push that needle of evil a little too deep inside my vein
You, you make me scarier than you, you keep playing with my pain
You got the skill to make me lose my mind
When I’m with you I feel like one of a kind
Until your words tear my flesh apart
Stabbing a knife right into my heart
You made me feel like I was held in the palm of your hand
Nothing is real in this illusory game
Look at that smug smile on your face !
You think you can play me like a marionette ?
One wire after the other breaks
And I spin and fall without a net – Where am I now ?
You got the skill to make me lose my mind
When I’m with you I feel like one of a kind
Until your words tear my flesh apart
Stabbing a knife right into my heart
You made me feel like I was held in the palm of your hand
Nothing is real in this illusory game
You made me feel like I was held in the palm of your hand, nothing is real…
Nothing but the suffering end
Did you really think you could play me ?
Did you really think you could break me ? You think you’re scary ?
Ooooh… You got the skill to make me lose my mind
When I’m with you I feel like I’m… something else !
I’m standing here… and you, you gotta face your fear…
cause now I’m scarier than you….
Nothing is real in this illusory game
You made me feel…. Now I’m scarier
Ooh nothing is real… I’ll remain… Scarier than YOU !!!

I Swear
05:02

|
One word and here I go
Yellow file, left alone
In the waiting room
To justify my existence and my choices
Like a criminal, wondering who’s to blame
Left hand on the spot
the eye’s expecting you to speak out loud
raise your right hand and repeat
Repeat after me, repeat, repeat :
I swear, every word I say is true
I swear, I would never lie to you
Don’t be surprised if we come to haunt your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me you don’t believe…
Don’t deny
We’re here to protect you
Just tell us what you’re doing here
The reasons why
We should let you through
whatever you decide, you’ve got the right to fear
Left hand on the spot
the eye’s expecting you to speak out loud
raise your right hand and repeat
Repeat after me, repeat, repeat :
I swear, every word I say is true
I swear, I would never lie to you
Don’t be surprised if we come to haunt your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me you don’t believe…
Yeah, go on and take my fingerprints, who am I to you ?
I swear, every word I say is true, I would never lie to you
Take the recognition of my face, what am I to you ?
Tell me what have we become ?
I swear, I swear to you
I swear, I’ll play your truth

Out of the Grave

Well I’m out of the grave
With my hands full of dirt
At your front door
Silly but I’ve forgotten when
They buried me alive
nothing to live or die for
I ran after life ‘till I ran out of tears
Out of the grave, my soul appears
I used to be nowhere to find
I held the rope so tight
Could you forgive me
If changed my mind
I held the rope so tight
Out of the grave
It seems like I cared
enough to take another chance
Even though I can’t be sure
I’ll stand another dance
Out of the grave
this cross I am bearing’s
too heavy to carry alone
Even though the lights are on…
there’s no one home
No one home…
Let me enter, give me shelter
I need a place to wash away
All the pain and misery
Hear me out, help me to remember
Out of the grave
It seems like I cared
enough to take another chance
Even though I can’t be sure
I’ll stand another dance
Out of the grave
this cross I am bearing’s
too heavy to carry alone
Even though the lights are on…
there’s no one home
My memories are dead
and my future is silent
Expectations have turned red
but my will…
but my will…
I keep on try’n but my will has expired

Backstreet Chronicles

You can’t run faster than a bullet
You’ll end up sleeping in the dirt
Your whole life’s a game of Russian roulette
But whatever happened, you’d never learn
You are the hero, one of those
A fool believing in easy fake miracles
The kinda hero that no one knows
An idle fellow out of Backstreet Chronicles
Your life was built on broken promises
A world of lies, fair enough to save face
A dead-end road of false pretenses
A shattered mirror reflecting your disgrace
You are the hero, one of those
A fool believing in easy fake miracles
You’re stuck in limbo, where no one goes
An idle fellow out of Backstreet Chronicles
Time to wake up, your last lesson
Another gamble, a vicious plan to set
You may scream but no one listens
Cause no one runs, no one runs faster than a bullet !
You are the hero, one of those
A fool believing in easy fake miracles
The kinda hero that no one knows
Another zero out of Backstreet Chronicles
You are the hero…
Another zero…

Where Rivers Flow Pt.1

‘till the light has gone
‘till the rising sun
Hear the sound of the tide
You said you’d love go
Where rivers flow and oceans will rise
The captain of your life
Did you sail away or fly
You were never born to follow
Like a shadow on my heart
Hides the name we shared from the start
You’re the reason I’m on a ride
Left a rainbow in the sky
Took the radio down to floor
Left me with a need for more
What I feel inside…
You were right or wrong
You were weak or strong
Fear was out of your sight
Too lost to take control
you let it roll, onto the shore
A pirate in our lives
Will I ever read your mind?
Will I ever feel your sorrow?
Like a sailor on my heart
Flees the pain that tore us apart
You’re the reason I’m on a ride
Leave the rainbow in the sky
Only waves could carry you away
From the sea that turned to grey
Where the rivers flow
Where the waters fall into oceans
You’re drifting endlessly with a part of me

Cirkus

Living in a womb we are shadows in the night
swinging on our sad lullabies
the center of attraction under the spotlight
Ready for the show, we arise
Under the big top oooh, whatcha gonna do
Your acts will tell me what you wanna be
Behind the backdrop oooh, hidden and expected
To entertain and disappear
Throwing knives with pride
Swallowing swords, our hands are tied
Aim for the top, we’re off for a ride
Noises echo inside my head
Here I stand in the middle
I bow at the portal, I know, I’m uncertain
Breathe and eat the fire
Monkeys and clowns, their acts are tight
Climb to the top and slide to the side
Applause is pounding inside my heart
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest Show, the greatest Show
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest show on earth
La la la la la la la la la laaaaa
We’ll be safer in a cage to set the lions free
Let’s feed them with our candy and our corn
As the center of attraction, we’re happy to be seen
Painted a smile on our face when we were born
Under the big top oooh, whatcha gonna do
Your acts will show me what you gonna be
Behind the backdrop oooh, you have been elected
To entertain and disappear
Breathe and eat the fire
Swallowing swords, our hands are tied
Aim for the top, we’re off for a ride
Noises echo inside my head
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest Show, the greatest Show
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest show on earth
La la la la la la la la la laaaaa
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
Join the greatest show on earth!
Absolutely NO talent needed to audition…
What do you wanna be ?
Be an magician or a juggle...
How ‘bout you sir, wanna be a strong man?
And the little lady over here, wanna be an acrobat?
“Hey do you want a balloon….?”
Step right in, to the greatest show, the greatest show
Learn to fly like a human cannonball
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest Show, the greatest Show
STEP RIGHT IN
To the Greatest show on earth
La la la la la la la la la laaaaa
Welcome inside, step into the greatest show on earth

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt

A very, VERY powerful album, somewhere between symphonic/melodic/oriental rock and death metal like vocals and riffs. Incredible how many different elements are interwoven into a perfectly intriguing and highly energetic song mix!

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Prize”
It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands
