Edax Omnium 04:17
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: Defiance of your dreams Alliace to your fears The hours counting tears It bites your reality Our lives are out of time What lies behind time? Eating fate, does not wait Liberate the Chronophage! ------------------------------------------------------

Event Reborn 05:25
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: The needles ticking, to set chaos set the clock forward... Inside a clockwork, a system of life Inside an endless loop: to the past from after life. Repeating the cycle again and again, incessant deja vu's slowly swallowing the brain! Forward... Forward... Replayer of life in a fourth dimension Everytime I die I go back in time. Fooling death, fooling illusions. Forwarding life to live in the past? Does not cease... Needles turning... ... now back. Again, replay chaos! Piercing the system, replaying the system Fooling the system, I'm so tired to go back. Piercing the system, a dimension Replaying the system of life Fooling death, fooling illusions. Not again, I'm tired to go back! ------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: Defied by succesion of life, forgotten their moments behind. You're here now and they are the past, the old voices stuck with the walls. Frequencies past Silent sounds don't lie. What once was alive, is now inside. Frequencies last, voices inside. What once was, is now alive. Mad clocks, damn lie in my mind. Stop talking about wasting your time. Stop the clock, listen the moments past. And measure life by every moment alive. See the mechanism in which you live. See whitin the wals what we are. Just see. You're here and they are the past. The old voices stuck between the walls. ------------------------------------------------------

Circles 06:03
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: Now I, with a sight, beginning to divide. Always the lines entwined, endlessly decimal. Suspended and in the smallest line. Unseen to vision till the sun collides, to conceal perpetual signs. So everyday, anywhere, void I recognize, circles I divide. The beginning is always the end, a constant with improbable end. Hidding the deepest secrets, The pattern is everywhere (as you hear it) Circles! "When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did." Circles! Now I, with a sight, beginning to divide. Always the lines entwined, endlessly decimal. ------------------------------------------------------

Spirals 05:49
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: In between, it all flies in our minds. We live in, we live out of our sights Clocks advance in a motionless life as you listen. Deep instil, we don't live we survive. Deep within we don't exist we just die. And forever closing the eyes to find nothing inside existence. As we speak, death... death evolves! As you dream, it... it devours light! Like a spiral with no end point. Like a spiral with no end point. The ticks you listen devour. Measuring life, measuring death, measuring what's left. Don't ask where are you, just ask when are you. ------------------------------------------------------
6.
Nøthing 04:23
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: There are big amounts of nothing, everything's void, no matter at all. Those dreams are just floating in an emptiness inside your mind. There is nothing... What you feel isn't real, think or deny every dream, we're empty boxes that feel, everything is nothing you percieve. When everything collapses, between the spheres void is found, when everything collapses, nothing can be found. There's nothing... Nothing at all... ------------------------------------------------------
7.
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: As the traject's clear, defying immortality. Stop future unclear and go back and hear the irregularity. To create and destroy, to destroy the signs of young, born creating burns and infinity corroding clocks. I'm blind but I see it inside me. I'm anosmic but I feel its scent. I'm deaf but can hear its echo. I'm voiceless but can scream its name. As the traject's clear, defying immortality. Stop future unclear and go back and hear the irregularity. And fall into mystery! Frames delayed, frames inane, frames will end to be nonexistent. (Since we were born, till we'll be gone) To create and destroy, to destroy the signs of young, born creating burns and infinity corroding clocks. ------------------------------------------------------
8.
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: Don't you know what hides, that box of the mind? Few know what's inside, fear seems the reason of all. Live by wondering everytime, what is hiding inside? Secrets of the dry eyed? Life is made to dream and die. Don't you know what hides, that box of the mind? Not anymore. Few know what's inside, fear seems the reason of all. Not anymore! And the dreams are still on and on! Open the box, let it all go, remove the locks, to see what we all avoid! I hide my nightmares in it! Open the box to unhide, future, present and past life. A box full of dark nights. A box full of parasites! ------------------------------------------------------
9.
------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: So, it makes me wonder: Has no one seen the sunlight? What's behind the courtains? Same motions every day and night? Inside everything repeats again. Everyday a lady lights the same flame. What's inside the house of old? Turn the light on and open the door... Life inside lies in in a loop event. Time inside, repeats itself, again... All life inside ages till death, and everything repeats itself. Now I'm trapped in the cycle like them, what I did yesterday I'll do it today. Inside everything seems the same. In the house of the cycle without end. ------------------------------------------------------

Most of the songs have a background described in their respective pages.
