Éveil 02:27
...Moi, bâtisseur de ce monde, j'ai laissé ma vie pour celui-ci. Je me retrouve maintenant prisonnier de cet endroit maudit et j'espère désespérément trouver une explication à ce sort fatidique... Deux semaines se sont écoulées depuis le tragique dénouement qui me fut réservé. C'est en ce temps que j'entame mon ébauche vers la plus périlleuse des mésaventures...

''Automne, saison d’envoûtement. Une fraîcheur qui jamais ne frôle l'outrance. Le vent sec et frivole nous chante doucement sa complainte. Chaque respiration cajole mon esprit agité et me délasse tranquillement. En m'arrêtant devant ce grand chêne vieilli à l'allure harassée, une grande réflexion se fût posée'' Leaves are falling as an offering Presents created by trees Sacrificed to feed their own roots Cycle of life, so cold... Never-ending fights for power Mutilating the motherland for greed Inequalities Mankind has built the world Mankind has built control Ferocity exists to guide the weak Ferocity exists to feed the strong Divine beings guide the devoted To bathe in eternal light Divine beings guide the devoted To drown in utter void An ocean of delusion I am swamped in abstraction Gazing at all this destruction Have I gone in the right direction? Hell brought to life by wrath stained corpses Feeding on weaker souls Hell brought to life by lust stained corpses Weakening other souls I am not one of you Yes you are Blood-hungry demons Yes you are I don’t want to serve But you will The chaos you created But you will ''Ne réalises-tu pas encore que tu fais partie de ces vermines? Nul ne peut échapper à sa véritable nature''

The Magical Infection Shadowy freezing mist above my head A chilling fog created by torment The fog has to be dispersed Using what it takes To forget why it became so cold At the edge of fiction Beneficial poison A mind in ignition Magical infection A hunt for redemption Reaching the dispersion A grand liberation Magical infection The time has come to smash the vial of venom And achieve more than I have ever achieved Kaleidoscopic mist above my head A venomous but necessary fog The fog has to be thicker And eternal So I become forever drenched in bliss Earth and sky have become one Now stars are getting closer Truth and lies, both twisted in the vortex A mind-bending vortex that eyes cannot see My dark past was all about illusions The venom is the freedom

Intoxicated... a mind into oblivion I gaze at the ruins from the void In the abyss... visions of the early days Of how the sun forged the cultists of Ra The sun burned the blooming flowers Reduced to ashes until it blossom flawlessly Yet so colorful The scorching rays were merciless Until it blooms gray In all my dreams, I searched to blossoms With splashing colors, and never wither But the gods had decided something else If only I could grasp faith out of faith itself Just like a carousel A cycle that goes on and off Without never ending anywhere Am I cursed to be eternally shackled In an abyss that only holds secrets? I want to stop the cycle I will follow the sun And keep its legacy alive Rebuilding the world Without hesitation I will free myself from the shackles And let faith do its work I believe Blindly following trails to forget our nature Seeking light for the satisfaction of the sun A never-ending cycle Engulfing the colors that made my pride A kaleidoscopic hunger All colors, forever gone Rongé par les remords , il fit face à la musique. Comprenant qu'il fut lui-même l'œuvre d'une machination agile façonnant la moindre parcelle de son âme. C'était lui, l'être responsable de cette fatalité conçue par la main humaine. Il était à son grand regret, le parfait bâtisseur de ce monde. ''Jamais, je n'ai pu comprendre le sens de cette maudite vie. Manipulé pour perpétuer le fruit de la destruction. Avec le seul espoir d'avoir une valeur aux yeux de mes créateurs et ainsi devenir indispensable... dans leurs cœurs''

Wild Escape 05:58
Lucid dream collapsed to a brutal awakening A ghost wandering the ruins to find flesh again He must leave these desecrated grounds To search for consecrated expanses ...nature With beneficial thoughts, he is exploring the wild An opportunity to seek for a vessel Thinking about the panorama of new possibilities The lost soul shed a tear in the spectral dust Hope never betrays You have to find the key Within the void of the soul Unlock your true nature Hope never betrays Breathe the gift of life Empty your soul to full it back up With true convictions Hope never betrays Surrender yourself To mother nature herself To unlock your true nature I wonder what I have done To receive this gift No matter the reason I will be forever grateful to mother nature

Even if peace feels restored from within Something felt wrong in the forest ...sadness is lurking While peacefully hunting in the shadows An obscure voice breaks the silence While searching for where it comes from The stag he is hunting is staring at him I symbolize the wilderness The incarnation of nature forces I am standing here to bring you a message The world is savagely bleeding Mankind is holding the torch That will make it's flesh burn to dust The end is near Refusing to understand what the stag said The hunter frenzily hunts down the poor beast It's sometime easier... To just pretend, nothing ever happened Decapitating the dead body for meat There was nothing but garbage and decay Then, the hunter realized it was real The end is near ''The confrontation with the animal was not to be easily forgotten. The hunter proved to the stag that he was right. The nature of mankind is the reason why the forests are bleeding. His thought process will never be the same'' And now hunter, what will you do? You're responsible for this striking havoc At least, you realized there's no turning back

I can’t believe what I have seen Life is dying And I am a part of the problem Guilt and shame are haunting me I am a destroyer Guilt and shame are a part of me I don’t deserve this life I am profoundly disgusted of my soul Leaving my flesh to starve Is the only way to give redemption to nature I am hurt so badly... My gift, in agony... Drained out of energy... Injured by treachery To unchain the world from this cancer I will burn it to the roots We all are a part of it I must hurry, time is running short before the dawn Glorious finale For me! Epic conclusion Inbound! I have to end my days before the dawn I will follow the watercourse to reach its cascade And when I find it... I will gift myself to the core that granted me life

My mind is set to help the recovery I have chosen to lead my way One last walk, one last moment Going along the stream One last walk, one last moment To reach the fateful end...of me I feel the breeze, my senses awaken The colors are gentle, they soothe my soul Worms dug their den In a world they'd never belong I gaze at the landscape To see the very essence of existence Dead silence in the vast living forest The void spreads its symphony in the wind Using all the stamina I have left Even if I am terribly exhausted I hastily rush myself to reach the apex To reach the cascades I must hurry before the sunset The hourglass is becoming empty Light is fading into an ember-sky Exhausted, I've fallen in the mud Screaming my pain out loud I surpass myself to reach the apex Arrive!

The Portal 06:56
I have finally reached my goal I see the cascade in front of me But behind it, visions of horror A world so sick, so sick... Only the torch we are holding is responsible For the fire that burned to dust this paradise Will she be reborn...from her ashes? I see old forests burning And meadows quickly drying-out We had so many resources... and we came to this ...pitiful worms A monstrous plague Spreading like a locust swarm I know the cure Strangling its core to death Now, I will give myself to the cascade Bones to the land, Will I be granted a second chance? The closer...and closer I get to the fall The more...and more feverish I feel The closer I Get to the fall I waited for... waited for so long The more feverish my flesh and my soul The wildfire is the essence of my doom The closer I get, the more febrile... The closer I get the more febrile is my ...soul A vicious headache embraces me Paralyzed, I cannot jump Duality, my soul is torn Act, or don’t act? I feel powerless ''Maintenant que tu as réalisé l'impact de tes actions, aucun retour en arrière n'est désormais envisageable. Alors saute, disparaît à jamais du monde consumé par ta propre volonté'' ''Pourtant quelque chose me retient ici... Est-ce vraiment la bonne décision? Struck by an excess of madness between his two inner voices, the poor man struggled to hold himself in place and approached too close to the slippery wall. He lost ground and fell into the gaping hole of his destiny. From now on, no turning back would be possible. He has fallen into the portal During the fall The sky is receding During the fall I am gasping for air During the fall I can slowly see my... During the fall Reflection in the basin Beware Imminent drowning Fatal The clash will happen right now Fracture Between two matters It's time To unveil the truth Now... Now it’s ...Time... To get...Through... Get through... The... Get through the portal

Décadence 01:36

His cold inanimate body was roaming in the nether Until panic opened up his eyes Gasping for air, he noticed that it wasn't necessary Since the dead don't breath ''Where in hell am I?'' A never-explored abyss ''Where do I have to go?'' Stuck in the lifeless realm Powerless, a new quest awaited him : Vanquishing the Night hag's embrace. So, he started swimming in the vast abyss Where he will probably drown forever ''This realm in which you are damned is the reflection of your own psyche. You haven't been able to choose the path that leads to your faith, so you will roam forever in this faithless chasm. I do not believe I gave it all up Only to perish in this aeonic void ''Enfin, je crois avoir compris. J'ai pris conscience de cette mêlée entre ces deux entités qui cherchent à devenir ma raison. C'est mon incertitude qui m'a mené jusqu'ici. De ces mots, un éclat de lumière jaillit de la noirceur, m'aveuglant du même coup. Que me réserve mon prochain périple?''
