Alrihkh Progarchives rates the sophomore album of the band lower than their debut ‘Circle of Life’, but I rate it higher. I feel this album has a better flow & that the drama within it has been presented in a more proportionate, next-level manner. The bands’ songwriting seems more mature. Not that the album lacks drama. There’s plenty of it here. This is a very good prog-metal album. I’m especially impressed with Luca’s guitar wizardry. Wow! He’s up there with the best shredders! 7.5+/10. Favorite track: Descending Memories.

baudelagon Une production un peu fadoche peut-être. Mais des compos de super qualité. Aucune raison de pâlir auprès des plus grands du genre - au contraire même ! Un très très grand album de métal prog ! Difficile de choisir le morceau préféré sur les 5-6 que je trouve simplement parfaits ! Favorite track: Within Two Minds.

Deception 07:03
Swallow the shame and guilt kept inside Leave the senses that burns you alive A special retreatment we can't figure out This false impulse will send you down Conflict in manner of faked expressions Behold this loop of continued impressions Renew the outcome in words you relate With a risk of higher heart rhythm and rate Letting you to be the one (That you always want them to see) Automatic lying machine (That you always want to believe in) A systematic shallow deceive (That you always want to achieve) In your hands to fully succeed (That you've now created) (To fulfill your desired needs) (Sinking) Sinking lower (Control) Can't control it (Slower) Thinking slower (Tonight) Tonight This infection Deception Puts your life in decline Talking the talk Won't stop for anything Inside your mind Lies will disguise it Deciding to Interfere what's real Your heat momentum (Momentum) It condemns you (Condemns you) Some mystical you Fuels the riddles Twisting reality Seems to fit in All mystical through Unknown falsehood Revile and pain Defined in your name You're wanting us to believe (Remembering it's just fantasy) Inspire the rest to deceit (Cause a better sense to live in) From your words to our doubting ears (A final try to appear) Losing bonds due to fake reveals (All the way from joy and) (Happiness you failed to give) (Sinking) Sinking lower (Control) Can't control it (Slower) Thinking slower (Tonight) Tonight This infection Deception Puts your life in decline Decline "To fool us you must fool yourself first How can you possibly believe in yourself? Somewhere deep inside you must feel regret Someday you must get really tired of digging your own downfall Keep telling yourself your imaginations are real And you'll end up losing it all Before you're ready to cut your make-belief Prepare for a decline Deception is on the line" (Sinking) Sinking lower (Control) Can't control it (Slower) Thinking slower (Tonight) Tonight This infection Deception Puts your life in decline (Fading) Senses fading (Control) Can't control them (Illusion) An illusion (Nightmare) A nightmare This perception Deception It's fake You're living a lie

Hand of Fate 05:21
Waiting for a calling to me Which path am I destined to take? Or could this be all? One is born "What's there for me?" Don't let emptiness stand in your way It's a brand new day soon I promise you, my friend Inside this maze We'll find our way Because this time's been given To breed our hope Our meaning of life Hand of fate Come guide me away To what I do need To fill my life with meaning Find the key For then you will see That there's hope for all We all have a reason to live Even though the sand is running Through the hourglass of time Don't let the time daunt you This day is yours to enjoy Despite the gray confusion That you might bear inside The time will come for you too To find where you belong Rise, morning sun Make me discover my path Look up the reasons For me to move on Guide me, my... Hand of fate Come guide me away To what I do need To fill my life with meaning Find the key For then you will see That there's hope for all We all have a reason to live We may spend our lifetimes Searching for what gives us hope Just don't crave for more and more (More and more) For this life is way too Short to spend on feeling remorse Trust the hand of fate To guide you home

Third Eye 07:39
When the guilt brings you alive But the pain seems to remain Will the light of luck arrive? Or will it stay the same? Now the hourglass is turning And the leaves falls down to The ground around you But the pride won't give in As the tide is turning Your mind keeps burning On and on it will Go Mirrors turning on Demons of lust unlocks the gate Brings forth seeds of pain and hate The blind judgment that you do Leaves nothing but despair in you Unless we're all willing to change We shall prepare for a fall If we never cross that path We'll never learn to fall The answers circling around There are so many questions to make This consciousness I have found Is scaring me Help me demon Save my pride from leaving I refuse considering That I may have been wrong All the children crying More people dying As the hate keeps growing On and on it will Go Mirrors turning on Demons of lust unlocks the gate Brings forth seeds of pain and hate The blind judgment that you do Leaves nothing but despair in you Unless we're all willing to change We shall prepare for a fall If we never cross that path We'll never learn to fall Off the edge Facing the truth Hard reality Tell me, angel Tell me what you see On the other side of the wall I need to know What could draw me there Will I dare to go through a change? Turning the mirror No more Facing me at last Equinoxe, help me Keep us from falling

The Raven 10:45
Can't see a thing Upon the hill The fog is perfectly still Wind blows outside It creeps up behind The feeling that Someone's inside Oh, mercy Let me be Insanity Is daunting me Sounds start to fade Thunder decay I am fading away Anguish, despair I am afraid that darkness Is here to capture me Oh, mercy Let me be Insanity Is haunting me The waiting is here It's scaring me That's all that there is to fear Embracing me The closure is near This disquiet is my common thief I still don't know what to do When it's here for me I can change Just let me try to break free Wasted all my years What will happen to me? Right in front of me I see this white cold gleam I finally see This is what it seems Oh, mercy Let me be Insanity Is frightening me The waiting is here It's scaring me That's all that there is to fear (The waiting is here) Embracing me The closure is near "I wish I should have lived My life true to myself Not the life others expected of me I wish I didn't work so hard I wish I'd had the courage To express my emotions and feelings I wish I had stayed close to my friends I wish that I had let myself be happier That I for once cared for myself I wish I had fulfilled All my opportunities I came across I wish I never should have taken My family for granted I wish this won't hurt" Mortality Is killing me Death scenery Soon sent to eternity The waiting is here It's scaring me That's all that there is to fear (The waiting is here) Embracing me The ending draws near One last falling tear Blinding me It's blurring in front of me (I wasted my years) Now facing me The Raven is here

Paradolia 05:40
(Come back to me) The whispers of dreams Splattered out right in front of me Transcended to memory of you A light struck down To bring hope again To bring me some hope again Twisted shapelessness Shadowing down on me From my pitch blackened love Trying my best To bring you back to life again Here with me Whenever to go Where to look Where to find Where to hide And where to start And what to defend I've always been told to Never quit until I really understand Imagination, a cult of sorrow From when I face the sky Deciphering you See, forever see Is the only option Left for me Whenever to go Where to look Where to find Where to hide And where to start And what to defend It's just so easy to Pretend to accept the past Subconscious internal seal Renders from fiction to real The wind is changing Abstract visions come true Will remain a secret In memory of you This finally made me see How fate and hope can reveal Minds that are concealed Inside their own atmosphere I'll do what's best for me On my way out from here Surreal patterns has taken me here The path that took me away From my atmosphere I'll do the rest, oh Things to be said and done Life has begun

With lack of knowledge We seem to look away An issue here to stay New troubles showing Never to repeal It emphasizes the reason We must comprehend It's not a trial Forever has been for real It's time for us to heed Procrastinating our very final goal A bad behaviour and no control Hear the crying whale As we wash all the seas away Overriding bio waste Now wither away A curst continuum We keep forgetting we're in A structure made by man Oil-painted oceans That needs a helping hand Approaching the darkest of times Hear us We have to stop this idiocracy Reading between the lines so we can't see it Help us We need to return to how it used to be Reading between the lines as we conceive We need to change Status quo The maintenance of mankind's nature crust Crumbles to dust ("What will happen to the nutrition and our crops?") The recipe of disaster is Made through manufactures of lust ("So how will we escape the rising waters?") Evidence have shown the turning point By failure of laws and bold treat ("But what about the maladies afflicting our nations?") Should we fear the only path we haven't tried so far? We need to defeat ("And what about the devastating impact upon the ecosystem?") See the pollutions blast They will stay put Since we don't Give a damn And till the very last Forest burns It'll define our essence As Earth hardly can breathe anymore Hear us We can figure out how to end this Reading between the lines so we can't see it Help us Remove our blindfold, let's open our eyes Reading between the lines as we conceive We need to change

The end of days Renders my thoughts Engulfed in fright A restless mind Will rest in this cave tonight So much concern To fall asleep and wake again Not as myself No longer as a friend The innocence is clear As I see myself through these eyes But behind this mask of fear I fear that it is time The rage of unconsciousness Is flowing through my veins Such a clean and deserted mind Getting filled with desires of hate This mystery of running free While in a state of sleep Please, someone wake me up And help me to break free I can no longer hold this shame inside I don't want to be the one Lift this burden of mine 'Cause this man of hate Is the progeny of my fate Here I am, all split up Two minds sharing a grail Bringing death but to each other Desperate mind, make this ghost Vanish from my soul I can't live within two minds As my will attempts to break Through nature's force Seeing life from the other side With a bitter taste of remorse A living dead is how I feel Inside this shell of shame This cell, sealing my peace of mind This innocence I claim I can no longer hold this pain inside I don't want to be the one Lift this burden of mine 'Cause this man of hate Is the offspring of my fate Here I am, all split up Two minds sharing a grail Bringing death but to each other Desperate mind, make this ghost Vanish from my soul I can't live within two minds

Waking up again, unfortunately Still in this room painted gray When there is something else At the borders of my dreams Beyond what I’ve always known And behind these gray walls A treasure of beauty unknown Why was this chosen my home? Losing memories as I leave Of this new world no more My eyes so tired and dried In search of new things to show Opened my eyes once again A new land in horizon Screaming my name Inviting my flame Is it real? Not known yet what to see Is it the land of my dreams? Come and take me, away from The same things that I always see Fill my life with pain Whatever just to make me feel "Greed, a broken dream, lies and fame All shattered to dust, blood stains Just the ashes found back home Same destruction, but here Wanted, created by people Not knowing what to believe What to look forward to What they live for Just living life at the moment Ending up with emptiness An empty page in a book The same page you wrote then erased And you’re feeling vacant 'Cause you're taking time for granted Not thinking of the next day Being the same as yesterday Trapped in an endless circle of doing The same, the same and the same Not counting the seconds till you’re Back on the floor once again Rewriting the same old page In the book of your life Erased after copying it over, over and over" Far away from what I hoped To find in this sad new world Suddenly those gray walls Gets filled with colors of hope Come and take me, away from This new shattered world that I see Bring me back to my home, it’s where my Dreams has always glown Regret of walking away, I left my Goal so far behind And now this very day, I’ll descend Back to those walls of gray Come and take me, away from This withering rose that I see Bring me back to my home, it’s where my Dreams has always glown I’ll never walk away, not knowing What’s behind those gray walls And now this very day, I'll descend Down to my paradise
