Deterrence

"The dark mirror of dystopian fiction functions as a deterrent,
a warning that we should not allow the still curable illness of our present world to turn into the abhorrent pathologies of the world of the future." -Erika Gottlieb
Entering the sequence in predefined order
We know our place among this static disorder
Conspiracies are woven in the darkest corners
Billboards and neon signs show off the wealth of ruthless
Data consumed by All-Seeing Eye
"Greater good" the grandest lie
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail
Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer
War has changed to battles fought behind disguise
Feeds of chaos, led by watchers unidentified
Oh how those proxy wars have worn us all out
The shadow networks controlling our demise
Illusions of threat - to cover
The true design (Succumb to your fears)
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail
You, stop right there!
What is your status?
Identify yourself or be contained
Four seasons reduced to one by temples of toxic smoke and fog
Continuous downpour of blight brought us this eternal fall
Network built for greater good now serves to control the weak and poor
But don't you dare to run and hide, from the "comforts" of neon light
Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer
"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know -
and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge,
so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so,
knowledge remains better than ignorance." -Isaac Asimov

Home of the Broken
04:26

Standing on the skyline
Waiting for what is to come
Undoing society
Despair, the end of our dreams
Feel the burning heat
Hear the cries of agony
Don't you dare to slow down
Keep moving before it's too late
Shadows of our past have caught us in the turn of time
Nothing learned so everything must now be left behind
Foundations of steel and walls of stone
Collapse into mounds of rubble and rust
Take a step to the unknown as chaos controls
Welcome to the new world - Home for the Broken Ones
Hope for the best and fight for your life
The world of tomorrow will now be defined
No more screams to be heard
On this path devoid of life
Fade out under raining stars
All once so precious now gone
Trapped in this circle of fault
Our world has fallen apart
Decayed but alive we are
With fear wake up into this new dawn
Shadows of our past have caught us in the turn of time
Nothing learned so everything has now been left behind
The world of tomorrow has so been defined
Foundations of steel and walls of stone
Collapse into mounds of rubble and rust
Take a step to the unknown as chaos controls
Welcome to the new world - Home for the Broken Ones
This is the Home of the Broken Ones

Chaos Ladder
04:21

System overload
Caused by reckless souls
Accusing the unknown one
Concealing the truth with lies
All systems overload
But the users were craving for more
Chaos is rising above
The last quiet before our fall
Like broken ladder against the wall
Every step is a likely pitfall
Blundering mass thrown in the dark
Terror devouring all
Zeros and ones have chosen our fate
Now fight for what will remain
All happened like written in code
Now look at all that was achieved
Resources absorbed piece by piece
Waves of distortion streaming insanity
Weak and wounded is all there is left
Memories will be erased but stories will remain
But the users were craving for more
Chaos is rising above
The last quiet before our fall
Like broken ladder against the wall
Every step is a likely pitfall
Blundering mass thrown in the dark
Terror devouring all
Zeros and ones have chosen our fate
Now fight for what will remain
All systems were brought down by the storm
Overloaded by this obscure disaster

Minus Entity

Get rid of the pain
And try to remain
As silent as the grave
Fuel the fading fire inside
Keep the flame alive
And break the chains one more time
I've been waiting for the day
To see this world decay
When everything is said and done
It has begun
Disaster that will overthrow the noxious growth
Alter the state of all we know
We are the martyrs of the storm
All of us - just a Minus Entity
As I lay on the ground
In my blackened mind
I know there's nothing left to fear
I can't hold on anymore
These battles have been fought before
But this time everything will set
Once and for all
Disaster that will overthrow the noxious growth
Alter the state of all we know
We are the martyrs of the storm
All of us - just a Minus Entity
We are - a Minus Entity
We are - a Minus Entity
We are - a Minus Entity
We are - a Minus Entity
We are - a Minus Entity
We are - just a Minus Entity
Disaster that will overthrow the noxious growth
Alter the state of all we know
We are the martyrs of the storm
All of us - just a Minus Entity
Disaster that will overthrow the noxious growth
Alter the state of all we know
We are the martyrs of the storm
All of us - just a Minus Entity

The Great Liberation
04:44
|

|
I've locked myself inside
The burning ruins, resigned
The walls we built once have fallen
No slightest hope in sight
Scorched earth, our demise
The great beyond is calling us home
Eradicate the terrors that've haunt your path
On this night of chaos
Let them smell your absence of fear
Break free of your chains and go on
Finally control your fate
Rule the world unlike ever before
Unleash the beast that was tamed
Set your soul on fire
Turnings shadows to light
Strength must be regained to prepare and rise again
Now I'm stuck inside the burning ruins, life resigned
Scorched earth our demise - "greater good" their grandest lie
Spin the wheel on this game of life
Play your cards right and you might survive
Set your soul on fire
Turn the shadows to light
Break free of your chains and go on
Finally control your fate
Rule the world unlike ever before
Unleash the beast that was tamed
Break free of your chains and go on
Finally control your fate
Rule the world unlike ever before
Unleash the beast that was tamed

Second Storm
03:58
|

|
The ground was fled decades ago
With cities built in the sky
Rose beyond what once was fiction
What an age of wonder
Death reversed in a flick of the switch
Just for the ones with the wealth
Technologies nearing godhood
Life close to divinity
Intelligent and arrogant creature of most peculiar nature
To be plundered of its pride under the coming storm
May the ruins be served as their most gruesome reminder
Chaos will reign and strength will favor the cruel
One by one we're gone
Taken by the storm
Taken by the storm
Fall from the sky
Primal screams from down below
Before they start to decay
Shattered dreams for years to come
Now it's time to know what we have done
Have you ever seen the world fall right before your eyes?
No pardons, no return, this is the end of line
Have you ever seen the world fall right before your eyes?
No pardons, no return, this is the end of line
The end of life
I knew this day would come
And set the end of the light
No remorse, no remains
Is this the end of time?
Communities erased
Written off the face of the earth
Deprivation, devastation
All life doomed at birth
One by one we're gone
Taken by the storm
Fall from the sky

Trail of Light
04:19
|
|||
|
Frequent nightmares came alive
Through these toxic clouds as we dive
While seeing the view so fragile
I ask for a way to survive
Spread your wings and aim
In the end the truth awaits
Observe the space around you
Open questions in the air
Unanswered they float
Do we ever get an explanation?
Follow the trail of light, dive into unknown
Spread your wings and take your aim
And wish that landing will be the last thing to hurt
At the moment you hit the ground
You wake up and reset the rules
Must get away from this vicious cycle
Disguised as life
The end of lies in this vicious cycle
Descending tonight
So spread your wings and aim
In the end the truth awaits
Embracing your fate
Their hunger repaid
This world has shown its true face
No escaping the heartless fate
Like leaves we fall and fade
No shouting back beyond the grave
The rivers of disinformation
Are flowing deep
Dissolving the last bits of our immortality
Relentless force that cannot be detained
Will wash away the unprepared
Follow the trail of light, dive into unknown
Spread your wings and take your aim
And wish that landing will be the last thing to hurt
At the moment you hit the ground
You wake up and reset the rules
Must get away from this vicious cycle
Disguised as life
The end of lies in this vicious cycle
Descending tonight
So spread your wings and aim
In the end the truth awaits
Embrace your fate
Fall to amongst their concrete gods, o' saint

Revive

Days of wonder are long gone but not forgotten
A brighter future lives on in the souls of the like-minded
Times are changing like tides are turning
Back and forth on this forlorn journey
We must face it without fear
Risking everything we held so dear
The world is waiting for something new to come
The end of file is drawing near on this day as dark as the last one
United forces of nature
Are lining up again
Restoration and new creation
Let the world be reborn in your flame
Lying dormant to some we appear
Hibernating but still we are trapped in here
Redefine the future so that our world can prosper again
The world is waiting for something new to come
The end of file is drawing near on this day as dark as the last one
We are waiting for tomorrow to bring back the sun
Overthrow the programmed age of man and revive…
No matter how long it takes
We'll make this world thrive again
Won't let it all end in flame
Truth lies beyond the neon-lit facade
Providing ways to create new Gods
The world is waiting for something new to come
The end of file is drawing near on this day as dark as the last one
We are waiting for tomorrow to bring back the sun
Overthrow the programmed age of man and revive…
No matter how long it takes
We'll make this world thrive again
Won't let it all end in flames
No matter how long it takes
We'll make this world thrive again
Overthrow the age of man to become undone

Reminiscence
05:12
|

|
Rewind memories to scene of disorder
Observe and pay attention
Blurred visions, silent screams
Shared dreams fading out
Pointless struggle under dark clouds
Bear the facts and release yourself to be free again
Fast-forward back to future
Let ghosts rest in peace
Torn down remains of dissonance
This is not the end of the story
Just a beginning
Neon will light the dark
Pause the game and take a breath
This is where dreams come to die
Are you in or are you out?
Play with fire - and make your move
Collect the pieces and solve the puzzle
Stop this madness at once
Reminiscence won't heal the wounds
Dead weight on your shoulders
Bellwether turned to burden
Misguided by the walls of trust
Unlike some we are born to survive
Learned to harness the turning tides
Never abandoned this forsaken path
Once lost in these wastelands
To reach the burning skies
Stop this madness at once
And never give up on this path
To reach the burning skies
This endeavour has reached the turning point
There are no more worlds to conquer
The alliance has lost its righteous meaning
So unleash the warrior within
Their words have lost all of their meaning
Now there is nothing left to say
Fast-forward back to future
Let ghosts rest in peace
Torn down remains of dissonance
This is not the end of the story
Just a beginning
Neon will light the dark

Rarely an album has overwhelmed me that much. The Atlas of Spiritual Apocalypse is a model of musical intelligence, as in the songwriting as in the mixing and mastering. The depth of the songs is incredible. Every track shines on its own, but all is tied to form a coherent and wonderful whole. Voidfallen created an amazing work of art, and as a debut album to top it all off! This masterpiece shows the extent of their creativity and technical mastery, and propels them to my top 3 favorite bands.
