When the sun has burned out to nothing but a cloud of dust,
What will remain, who will prevail?
This world was set ablaze, we’ll find our graves in flames.
Nothing but stardust ‘til we’re gone forever and lost in the skies.
What will remain, who will prevail?
When the last star has died, will we stay or fade away?
When all is lost, will we find ourselves again?
Will we stay or fade away?
Will we find ourselves?
In the blackness of our hearts, we go blind in the darkness.
There is no light.
This world was set ablaze, we’ll find our graves in the flames.
Nothing but stardust ‘til we’re gone forever and lost in the skies.
How can you sleep at night?
There’s no place left to hide.
We, betrayers to mankind, sow poison in our own minds.

Dead Crop

A divine idea has become a human tragedy.
Part the sea.
Let us drown in our blood.
Bury us all beneath the waves.
Part the sea.
We salt the earth that we walk on and wonder when it’s death what we sow.
A bloody moon for the harvest.
Feed sorrow to our demons to grow.
We are nothing but dead crop, rot.
Nothing but dead crop, rot.
Left out to rot.
We are dead crop.
Let it all rot.
We are dead crop.
Let us all rot.
And this blood moon is our new sun.
Black snow from the skies turns our souls into ice.
A cold heart is a dead place.
The night sky sees our true face.
Where is love?
There is no trace.
We salt the earth that we walk on and wonder when it’s death what we sow.
A bloody moon for the harvest.
Feed sorrow to our demons to grow.
We are nothing but dead crop, rot.
Nothing but dead crop, rot.
Left out to rot.
We are dead crop.
Let it all rot.
A divine idea has become a human tragedy.
Part the sea.
Bury us all beneath the waves.
Part the sea.
If something won’t heal then it’s the wounds we’ve carved.
If something remains then it’s the scars we’ve drawn.
Black snow from the skies turns our souls into ice.
Part the sea.
A cold heart is a dead place.
Part the sea.

Misery

We claim to be the crown of creation, but bend our knees before the devil’s throne.
We seek for a path to heaven, while we march into the gates of hell.
Devil in me, heal all the pain that I feel.
The hell inside of me; the only thing that seems real.
You promised to save me, but left me alone.
You promised to save me, but left me forsaken.
I should have known I’ll get lost in my forlornness.
I’ve been mislead, left to burn in my distress.
We drown our dreams, our hearts remain empty.
A filthy seed becomes misery, our greed is all we feed.
We claim to be the crown of creation, but bend our knees before the devil’s throne.
We seek for a path to heaven, while we march into the gates of hell.
Devil in me.
Devil, devil, I see your mask in the mirror.
You are the salt in my cold wounds and the reason I shiver.
Hide behind gaze, it’s time to show true face.
Because I should have known myself better in the first place.
The pain carries my mind far away to see that I’m the only reason I am unfree.
Devil in me.
I’ll get lost in my forlornness, left to burn in my own mess.
I’ve been mislead, left to fade into distress.
We drown our dreams, our hearts remain empty.
A filthy seed becomes misery, our greed is all we feed.
We claim to be the crown of creation, but bend our knees before the devil’s throne.
We seek for a path to heaven, while we march into the gates of hell.

I’ve sacrificed so much, to be left with nothing,
Can’t leave behind the hell you put me through,
(In the end)
My limbs are paralyzed, my heart feels like stone,
But now I realize who once were friends now are foes.
As soon as turned my back you dropped the mask,
Follow the path they said, twist to fit the shape,
I have been trapped to feed the serpent.
I’ve been trapped to feed the serpent.
My soul doesn’t cry for mercy, I learned from suffering.
They hold their fingers crossed, and wish you best luck.
Claim to be your friend, just to stab you up.
I’m hanging on the gallows and you weigh me down,
You traded off against me.
My soul doesn’t cry for mercy, I learned from suffering.
They hold their fingers crossed, and wish you their best luck.
Claim to be your friend just to stab you up.
They might teach you how to swim,
Why can’t you see, they are the sharks?
They show the ocean’s deep, but they will let you sink.

Love / Embrace

Standing at this gate, watching.
The stars are falling into an wide opened mouth.
It swallows anything, spitting venom and forcing hate into my world.
I can’t take my life no longer.
Please don’t leave me alone.
Give me a trace to enlight myself.
I need to be sheltered, love shall embrace me.
Keep hate and envy away from me.
I’ve been a slave to this misery.
I want this feeling back when no shadow veils my soul.
I can’t take my life no more, don’t me fall into…
Let me stand in front of this gate.
May clouds and light be my guiding line.
The stars are waiting, please let me in, please let me in.
I can’t wait no longer, please let me escape, just let me escape.
Let me escape from this vicious place, where clouds and light are my guiding line.
The stars are waiting, please let me in, please let me in.
I can’t wait no longer, let’s leave this malice place.

Fortune Drives To Vegas Koblenz, Germany
With Metalcore as their musical home, the band is expanding stylistic boundaries to create their
trademarks.
Their songs, which are arranged with a lot of love for details, are larded with powerful breakdowns and metallic riffs, building bridges to fanciful guitarlicks and catchy melodies.
Heaviness and Feeling are walking hand in hand here, stretching a golden thread throughout the compositions.
