Reach for the stars
Blacken the days undone
Rest your eyes on me now
Take the place in this heart
Built to rise aware
Of all things that life could take
A step into the light
As one that would bring joy to earth
No notion, no more hope
The madness feasts on broken hearts
Rising furiosly inside
Carving thoughts of misery
To have seen the fallout
Changes flow right through my head
A tomb for all the ones that made dreams
Shatter in this never-ending entropy
A state of conciousness
Brings out the will within
A story which condemned
An hatred for humanity
Voices over time
Took back all that we had
A sense of prejudice,
Black soil that brought tears to life
To have seen the fallout
Fades the truth we once knew lost
Immersed in puzzled hearts
Collapsing shadows of the days undone
To have seen the fallout
To fade washed away by your own ground
To be a prey for all the vultures we need
Far from the place we once built
I've seen the cluster reaching in
The depths of mind, crawling through
Perspectives of reality
Clashing through generations
The madness feasts on broken hearts
Rising furiosly inside

Staring at the skies
We search for answers in form of glyphs
Transitions in life, death and beyond
Wretched soil below our fingers
A mire of human afflictions
That makes us fear a path of descent
An allegory to future endeavors
There is something out there
Beyond our reach
That cannot be satisfied
In mere words of wisdom
A conception of reality
Beyond our comprehension
An unreachable certainty
Of a world far away
An estuary of misconceptions
Doubts and fears
Dream
For an answer to silence
The siren of fate
That predicts our fall
How can we aim for
A whole new beginning
As we keep doing things again
Like we know we made before
Dream
To bring true senses higher
Breath for a while
Until we find exile
Dream
As we heal to reach further
A breach of the mind
Made to build a true sky

Bleeding from the war
Rage built within the core
Rips and bruises scarred from countless thorns
Tormented in agony, no judgement call
Rising from the hellish storm
Breathing through the fire burn
Fighting from the sacred ground
Bleeding from deep down
Raging from the core
Igne natura renovatur integra
Vincit qui se vincit
Reading through the score
To finally see
An haze of smoke and mirrors
Now awake
Another fight bled
Blood burning red
There is no time for the scars to heal
Aching as signs of misery
Fleeing from the edge of the storm
A maze of inhuman decadence
Freeing the soul from the hellish ground
Still bleeding from the war
Rage built within the core
Rising from the hellish storm
Breathing through the fire burn
Fighting from the sacred ground
Bleeding from deep down
Raging from within the core
Igne natura renovatur integra
Vincit qui se vincit
Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo

True hidden sorrow
In his eyes
Brings out all the
Reasons why
Marked by
A man-made destiny
A legacy
Far sirens
As we sail to reach for
Enlightenment
The aches brought by time
Leave Mankind restless
Disguised,
A plain white mask feels like a charm
Longing with true remorse
Brought by the days of sin with blood
Repression
With skies filled in plain black,
A canvas for the deepest thoughts
Light up the frail hearts that made
Men fear the blackest of days
Reaching for answers now foregone
The air was thicker
Made us feel so fragile as life went on
The regret of a failure,
A reminder of bonds we've built as one
Taken by inner struggles,
The sense of dignity prevails
Bear with the fault
Dreams of mine,
A land made for a wished kind
Specters from the moonlight renew its sky
Wronged
By a charming promise
Of a place to call home
A dreadful ending
For the flesh of his world
We need a change
Turning the seasons over tides
Calling out for the fallen
The truth's fading
As we take the path for
A world higher
Regression draws us back
And turns our souls weak
Old war
Remains
Brings us the ever-lasting
Resolve
And wealth
Needed to reconnect with life

Breathe in
Burst out
Atoms flowing
Intertwined
Pheromonal aura
Contours millions of skin pores
Electrical impulses explode within
Salival communion
Breathe out
For just a moment
Friction, elevation
Calling for the light
Whispers and shivers
In search for the holy frail grail
Seminal fluid bursts
Into breeding
The flesh and soul entwined
Perpetuation of selves
Into a projected being
Breathe

Fail-safe

We accept that we cannot
Change the fate to avoid it all
We will not deviate from
A will brought into despair
The unexpected and the unpredicted
As an elemental structure of self control
An old mechanism of subjective value
To bring all the insight
Into the human condition
Reflective mind, built on emphatic judgments
In a clockwork reality
A process of abstraction through visual distortion
Of choices made in a restless dream
Formulating constructs within the relativities
Of deep human consciousness
We recognize
The sacrifice
We need to turn the odds
Words may be dissonant
Wilder
And truth falls with them
Fails to be wield
Slowly the pale grey smoke lifts in
Layers as thin shadows of one's fault
Torn and broken
Aware of the dangers of oversimplifying
Its existence and complex structure,
We separate
Waving sights of one's fear
To mark a release
To find a place to set a dreamwork
A stillborn cause embraced
In poems of extended and cohesive
Metaphors
We empathize
The will to rise
Resting our faith in all
This will to rise
Testing our faith
Open your eyes
To human grace
Until the day
We realize
There is no fate
There is no light
And still we breathe
And still we fight
Another day
Another try

Applause Of A Distant Crowd

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10
