Stop! Don't try to run away You know you won't get far You're trying to find a way to leave Everything behind All the promises that you made Every memory worth remembering Everything will be wasting away A part of your life lost forever Guilt is tearing you apart It happened all so fast No time to think, acting on instinct A choice that changed your life All the images flashing by Every time that you close your eyes They keep you awake at night The pain remains seared into your mind It was that moment when everything changed In an instant the world went up in flames In the end there was nothing left But ashes and regret Time to face the consequences Of everything you've done The burden that you carry with you The sins that weigh you down You can't believe what you've become Not all mistakes can be undone You realise you've gone too far Their suffering will not be forgotten It was that moment when everything changed In an instant the world went up in flames In the end there was nothing left But ashes and regret It was that moment when everything changed In an instant the world went up in flames In the end there was nothing left But ashes and regret

Don't think, don't question, just obey! Release your thoughts Give in to our self-righteous control Become a part of the grotesque machine Another mindless drone As the beast it feasts on the corpses Of those who believed so foolishly In the hope of change The seduction of power attracts the weak As corruption festers in decay Sacrifice tomorrow for today The paragons of ignorance forsake their oaths every day The cesspool of betrayal screams: Don't think, don't question, just obey! Ignore the truth We'll distort the facts to suit our twisted needs The foundations of our empire lay in our own reality The narrative's been shaped by our efforts To gaslight, obstruct and project Forget the constitution For what's a little treason when domination is at stake? The seduction of power attracts the weak The indoctrination is complete As corruption festers in decay Sacrifice tomorrow for today The paragons of ignorance forsake their oaths every day The cesspool of betrayal screams: Don't think, don't question, just obey!

Unity 04:59
Tell me why we judge each other Based on the colour of our skin Why do we condemn others For what we perceive as sins? Tell me why we have decided To put value to the side Of the border we were born on Our bigotry and hatred have divided us all The time has come for everyone to answer this call For we are nothing but stardust with memories and dreams A collection of hopes and mistakes We ought to embrace what makes us unique Stand tall, whatever it takes We need to fight side by side March as one against oppression Face the storm in unity We need to be the change That will turn hate to compassion So we can stand together as one in unity Tell me why we judge the way that someone self-identifies Why do we put them down for having the courage to change their lives? Tell me why we are so bothered by who is loving whom Instead of problems that are truly important The cowardice inside of us is tearing us apart The ignorance of yesterday is hardening our hearts For we are nothing but stardust with memories and dreams A collection of hopes and mistakes We ought to embrace what makes us unique Stand tall, whatever it takes We need to fight side by side March as one against oppression Face the storm in unity We need to be the change That will turn hate to compassion So we can stand together as one in unity It clearly can't go on like this We all need to ask ourselves: What will be our legacy if we can't find a new path to follow For a new tomorrow? A better tomorrow We need to fight side by side March as one against oppression Face the storm in unity We need to be the change That will turn hate to compassion So we can stand together as one in unity

Εκ Χάεος δ´ Έρεβός τε μέλαινά τε Νύξ εγένοντο Νυκτός δ´ αύτ´ Αιθήρ τε και Ημέρη εξεγένοντο (But from Chaos were born Erebos and black Night And from Night again sprang forth Aether and Day) - Hesiod's Theogony Out of the formless void A thousand voices called Holding secret knowledge That's been lost to the world It shall be known How our creation came to be It must be known It is their legacy I hear the whispers of the stars Their call is beckoning They are calling out to me I've been chosen to tell their story For I am the astral key I've nearly lost my mind Trying to comprehend the divine I am the only one who realises we are blind All will be lost If I don't pass down what I've seen Mourning the loss Of eternity I hear the whispers of the stars Their call is beckoning They are calling out to me I've been chosen to tell their story For I am the astral key The unlearned mysteries That lie shrouded in prophecies The legends and the myths Will become history

They need your tithe You'll pay the price The will harass your child And you will smile You have been blind Indoctrination of the mind Never forget You've been misled By your apostles and your prophets Zealous conceit Full of deceit It's time to question your beliefs The church seeks faith through fear and hate Control through guilt and shame Judging the members' worth By the money that they pay False prophets lead blind hearts and weak minds In their temples of greed built on lies But the Saints still keep falling day by day As the shelves show cracks and break from all the weight Twisted priorities Brainwashed communities Preying on the weak and vulnerable Taking their money for the hope of empty promises Painful realities And misguided beliefs Nevermind the cognitive dissonance And the mental gymnastics to justify what your church says You need to open your eyes to see the truth You have dedicated your whole life to this ruse What would your God say if He were to lay eyes upon you? You have fallen for an illusion of truth Fraudulently sold by a sexual predator There is so much that the church has tried to hide from you The "second anointing", the "Kinderhook plates" The "priesthood ban on blacks" The truth about the Book of Abraham, The first vision and the stone in the hat Obey the cult! And don't you dare think for yourself Obey the cult! The church thrives on ignorance False prophets lead blind hearts and weak minds In their temples of greed built on lies But the Saints still keep falling day by day As the shelves show cracks and break from all the weight What would your God say if He were to lay eyes upon you His faithful? The brainwashed The Latter-Day Saints and their cult

"I thought through this life my time will be my own The step I now am taking's for eternity alone No one need be the wiser, through time I shall be free And as the past hath been the future still will be To my guileless heart all free from worldly care And full of blissful hopes and youthful visions rare The world seamed bright the thret'ning clouds were kept From sight and all looked fair but pitying angels wept They saw my youthful friends grow shy and cold And poisonous darts from sland'rous tongues were hurled Untutor'd heart in thy gen'rous sacrafise Thou dids't not weigh the cost nor know the bitter price Thy happy dreams all o'er thou'st doom'd also to be Bar'd out from social scenes by this thy destiny And o'er thy sad'nd mem'ries of sweet departed joys Thy sicken'd heart will brood and imagine future woes And like a fetter'd bird with wild and longing heart Thou'lt dayly pine for freedom and murmor at thy lot But could'st thou see the future and view that glorious crown Awaiting you in Heaven you would not weep nor mourn Pure and exalted was thy father's aim, he saw A glory in obeying this high celestial law For to thousands who've died without the light I will bring eternal joy & make thy crown more bright I'd been taught to reveire the Prophet of God And receive every word as the word of the Lord But had this not come through my dear father's mouth I should ne'r have received it as God's sacred truth" - Helen Mar Kimball, 1881

Fragments 10:09
Countless hours lying wide awake in bed at night Staring at the ceiling, tired of the endless fight You've become a prisoner of your mind You've made it this far But have you ever thought What you'd do from here on out? Did you really think that you could drown your sorrows? That all your problems would be gone, come tomorrow? Can't you see that you were punishing yourself And everyone around you in your own personal hell? I know it's easier to get by with a clouded mind The only way that you could rest and get some sleep at night You tried to find a way to fill a void so hollow Searching for an answer at the bottom of a bottle You've lost your way And can't escape You don't know what to do Day after day A life full of mistakes Now all the wrong choices are coming to haunt you So full of doubts Time's running out You've lost all control Faces changing fast With the echoes of the past A slow descent down this cursed rabbit hole No one ever sees the fall Since it's too easy to go Far beyond the point of no return But now the damage has been done Fate just could not be outrun As all your memories start to fade away You should've asked for help You should've swallowed your pride Instead all symptoms were denied It shouldn't have to be like this We would have found a way I am here, can you hear, can you see me? Do you remember who I am, can you hear me? Through the pain and the darkness again Nothing will ever be the same Silhouettes and shadows they appear before you With the recollections of the things that once were Most important, now lost to you Wonder why this could be happening to you We are losing you I can't believe we could not see the changes Until it was too late It seems tomorrow couldn't wait For dreams and plans that were made in vain While all ambitions slowly turned to dust All the while time is cruelly marching forward With no regards to you or me The price was just too high to pay Only to waste away The sacrifice of sanity Just for a clouded moment's reprieve Turned out to not be worth it after all Father tell us what to do When nothing matters anymore We are left here, all alone Trying to gather all the Fragments that remain A shattered mind in fragments (Fragments) that remain I am here, can you hear, can you see me? Did you really think that you could drown your sorrows?

Απόψε θα 'ρθει ο Χάροντας Να μας καλέσει στον χορό του Ελεύθερα θα πεθάνουνε Τα παιδιά του Ζαλόγγου (The reaper will come tonight To invite us to his dance The children of Zalongo Will die free) On December the 12th 1803 After the siege of Souli The village was forced to sign a treaty To leave behind their lands was agreed The evacuation would be peaceful If they obeyed the decree On December the 16th The Souliotes formed three groups And while marching south the third one was Ambushed and attacked The men were massacred Yet around 60 women survived Facing death they screamed Freedom or death until our final breath We'll sing 'til the cliffs below claim us all We will pay the price No matter the cost To shed the shackles of slavery When pride and courage conquered fear Certain death seemed preferable to life in captivity Determination set in as the troops drew near These women chose to embrace death and to die free Freedom or death until our final breath We'll sing 'til the cliffs below claim us all We will pay the price No matter the cost To shed the shackles of slavery The brave women of Souli With their children in hand They decided to die free They danced, they sang And then they jumped down to their death Απόψε θα χορέψουμε Απόψε θα χορέψουμε Απόψε θα χορέψουμε Μια τελευταία φορά (Tonight we'll dance one last time) Απόψε πια χορεύουμε Απόψε πια χορεύουμε Απόψε πια χορεύουμε Για τελευταία φορά (Tonight we are dancing for the last time) Freedom or death until our final breath We'll sing 'til the cliffs below claim us all We will pay the price No matter the cost To shed the shackles of slavery

Into Denial 05:48
Tell me how it got so far When did we lose our way? There was a time, well before the fall When we valued truth and honesty Ignorance reigns upon the land Nothing will make it falter Generations blinded they stand United in apathy, oblivious to the slaughter Do not believe what you're told We have to seek what lies forgotten We cannot accept all their lies Don't follow them (Falling) into denial It might be too late To change our fate The Mending's our final chance As we're embracing the fall of ideals And slowly succumb to ignorance The masses dictate what is true We're forced to conform to their twisted views It's time to fight back, it's time to stand tall United we'll never fall Do not believe what you're told We have to seek what lies forgotten We cannot accept all their lies Don't follow them (Falling) into denial Do not believe what you're told We have to seek what lies forgotten We cannot accept all their lies Don't follow them (Falling) into denial Do not believe what you're told We have to seek what lies forgotten We cannot accept all their lies Don't follow them (Follow them) Follow them (Follow them) Follow them (Falling) into denial
