Warangelic I cannot remember where I first heard of you but I was instantly hooked. A lot of memorable riffs, profound lyrics, and... there are a lot of things I want to say about this album. I just want you guys to release another album. Favorite track: Reflection.

gordeth I'm extremely particular when it comes to progressive and power metal. Queensryche, Fates Warning, and Brainstorm are some of the very few bands that have made the cut for me and this is like a synthesis of those three at their most refined and memorable.

Music - Kimon Zeliotis Lyrics - Thomas Kouris, Kimon Zeliotis I stood beside holding her hand Feeling helpless and alone As I watched her life drain slowly out of her eyes A shadow came in human form Made false promises to entice me I was blinded by the sorrow that filled my soul Bring them in the game Shift the course of human lives I must stray them from their path Unaware of the dead end Keep this dream alive Give another chance to find An escape out of the dark Lost until we meet again False faith took control of me I fed lies into their minds Trying to prevent her life's certain decay Power to corrupt their fate Too heavy a burden laid upon me But I was too late to realize my mistake With each false step I drown into frustration Despite my efforts nothing has changed A barren hope an endless separation All seems lost without you beside me

Convergence 05:28
Music - Kimon Zeliotis, Michael Aggelos Kouropoulos Lyrics - Thomas Kouris, Kimon Zeliotis Awaken from A deep and strange sleep I feel like i am reborn I try to Gather myself All my memories erased I Wander through the unknown sunless days Got nothing from the past to chase Powerless i watch mankind's Fall The only man to witness all Everything seems so normal Yet my world’s time is in reverse When both timelines converge to one The end of days is realized I have been brought back to life I don't know the reason why Just a watcher of the end As destiny descends My hope slowly dies away Nothing will survive Just a watcher of the end As destiny descends upon us (solo: Aggelos, Kimon)

Music/Lyrics - Kimon Zeliotis Memories have been wiped clean Left just an empty shell A body with a clean slate Assign a personality There's nothing out of reach Your heart's desire made flesh Visions flash before my eyes Feelings trying to break free Vivid traces of past life Gradually resurface Buried within us defeated and broken Our bound soul lies sleeping Slowly dissolving into the darkness Remains lost but not gone The warning signs from our abuse Crushed underneath our greed Forever sealing our fate Highly advanced technology Spiraled out of control Now I fear it's too late Instincts take over determined to wake the Human will to survive Forced evolution rising through the seams Of flawed technology (solo: Aggelos) Unable to foresee How humans would evolve Beyond technology Meant to enslave our soul (solo: Kimon)

Moral Decay 05:35
Music - Kimon Zeliotis, Michael Aggelos Kouropoulos Lyrics - Kimon Zeliotis Seems like I always was aware we had a purpose in our life from which we were defined Only now I realize we were force fed our fate in a prison in disguise What if we could cure all disease extend our life on earth If we could look death straight in his eyes and have a fighting chance To find the right answer you have to cross the line They ignored all morals now there's no turning back They gave us a chance to learn what it feels to be human what it means to be alive But still they all failed to see the error of their ways their deep moral decay Accept to treat real humans as disposable lab rats (solo: Kimon, Aggelos, Kimon, Aggelos)

Music - Kimon Zeliotis Lyrics - Thomas Kouris, Kimon Zeliotis Am I Trapped? A black shroud around me Fate tried to enclose my life Am I condemned? I can't see your colours but neither can you see mine In darkness I was born My perception I've reformed The odds I have defied My sight won't get confined The image seems so real Through every single feel The world I realize Through Subconscious Eyes Although I have No light perception I can still see your face A different way To interpret the darkness To sense what the eyes can't see Close your eyes Reveal my world Within the dark It will unfold You have to let Your senses flow Then you'll perceive with subconscious eyes

Incised Path 05:13
Music - Kimon Zeliotis, Michael Aggelos Kouropoulos Lyrics - Thomas Kouris, Kimon Zeliotis Can't control the strain Can't defy the visions I can see your life fade away Seems to be so real The scene within my mind I Shudder at your final Scream I have foreseen your ending come Your last play in life will stay undone No way to escape the incised path Inevitable outcome You're the next in line You're the one who's chosen Premonition shows the sequence Faith controls the cards Take a chance to shuffle The Prize is prolongation Life's course is predefined Death will collect you when it's time Don't try to evade your end Inevitable outcome

Distance 07:37
Music - Kimon Zeliotis, Michael Aggelos Kouropoulos Lyrics - Thomas Kouris, Kimon Zeliotis A crowded place Faces race around me They all are my friends Still I know no one I'm in seclusion A realm of pain A cease of life I'm feeling helpless to fight A confined touch Behind the mask A picture painted gray and black We're on our own Distance grows between us I disappear Embraced by fear In isolation After each word that I hear The silence seems to grow After a faint light shines through A face still won't show An image of what once was Drifts further each day Time washes the color away Memory settles in gray (solo: Kimon) I lay awake for the first time A heavy mist surrounds me A brief clarity that's slipping away As I feel the truth pierce through me I seek your hand a distant flame A path for me to follow A cry for help unable to Cut through the dense silence
8.
Reflection 07:55
Music/Lyrics - Kimon Zeliotis Last thing I remember Pure madness in his eyes Cold steel piercing through me Memories frozen in time Absorbed by the reflection Eternally confined within Share the pain with me Release the fear I try to stay awake Help myself towards the light But the darkness is too strong I'm giving up the fight I quietly disappear A scarred entity remains And hides behind my empty face The prey stands before me Stares straight into my eyes It still cannot see me I feed the blinding rage with fear And reach for redemption But each time slips through me A world filled with decay Where time exists no more A sad reflection of the past Where I stay awake forever (solo: Kimon)
9.
Music/Lyrics - Kimon Zeliotis I see the look inside your eyes And I know you're lost forever I see now that I'm to blame And I fear that you feel the same A journey deep within our dreams A world that we could share together I only wish that I had known You lacked the strength to come back home Addicted to a reassuring lie A prison of lost memories I reach out to you I'll show you the way Don't run away Don't run away from the fire Burning wall rising higher Hold close the flame Endure the pain and burn that will release you Illusion takes over your mind A world devoid of all that pains you You found a place you can't break through And locked a truth that you once knew Don't fade away in the silence Overcome your own blindness Hold close the flame Embrace the pain and burn that will release you A false reality growing inside your mind Clawing at your flesh as you try to escape The denial you feel slowly dissolves the line Between dream and reality (solo: Kimon)
