Believe in me, worship me
You will be always protected
Harmony, catastrophe
Will you choose to fight or freeze?
Death to the ego
Death to all you think you know
Sacrifice your consent for me
You will heal in truth and beauty
Disciple, I absolve you
So forgive yourself enough to obey the naked truth
That you need to be owned
And you beg to be controlled
The magnetic field that I wield
Will reveal all of the bullshit
There’s no end to my charity
But I love you more when you beg and adore, and you kneel
Here’s your liberation
Here’s your chance for true freedom
You’ve got to open up the floodgates
My sycophantic playmate - I need servants

Fault Lines
04:23
|

|
The fractures of our lives are becoming fault lines
Cracks so deep I don’t even recognize us
The nightmares we created became our realities
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Behold the disease of things unknown
The fanatics are winning and I wanna go home
There’s a rabbit in the field
And I wanted to chase it
Out of my head
Into the nature
(Behold the fault lines)
There’s a volcano in my heart
And I don’t want to waste it
Psychotic shift
Infinite energy
The fractures of our lives are becoming fault lines
Resistance cowers to futile
Compelled to understand, compelled to communicate
Muted mouth, manic restraint

In Bondage

I wanna mold you
Crush your self-defeat
Work back to your
Pure identity
I may offend you
Make you wetter with the resentment, oh
You’ll cum and you’ll cry
Every lie is a sign of commitment
The euphoric taste of your tears
Swallow it darling, we can take this to the end
Locked in bondage
Dark hearts of bliss
We will never feel anything close to this
Locked in bondage
Dark hearts of bliss
There will never be anything close to this
Weather the doom loop
Crudity will soften the feeling
No psychotherapy
Will ever relieve the hunted needing
Bow to the X Id
It will always smell the cracks within you
All ornament is crime
Taking the flesh is the only virtue
We’ll keep emotional distance
Apathy, baby, is the perfect self-defense
Nothing changes but my blood flow
Locked in bondage
In the dark arts

Hold your head up
You are not the victim
I’m not sure you will make the cut
I think you’ve lost the drive and will to win
Your resistance
Prophetic self-destruction
Creates the distance
Every time you get closer to someone
Mirror
There’s poison in my head and I don’t know what to do
The hole’s too deep for the drugs to get me through
Oh the city created my fears and took my mind
Oh Mirror
Give me back my time
Face your destiny
It was always only ever you and me
We can be anything we want to be
Make shit up and live it completely
I am alive, I am alive
Oh say it to yourself, say it to yourself, oh
Why do we need to function?
Why do we need to fit into this hell?

Radical Self-Love
04:28
|
|||
|
And the shadow that is growing in-between us
Will cast long until we feel ourselves waking up
And we question the foundation right under us
False evidence appearing real, destroying our trust
How do we decode the signs
See the patterns, read between the lines?
How do we find the compromise
Sweeten the deal, bridge the divide?
Breathe slow with me
When our darkness turns us into total enemies
Find your mercy
When the anger grows and it overwhelms me
Show me your, show me your
Radical self-love
The insecurity distorting our patience
Forcing us to possess one another in codependence
Oh, keep smiling, keep saying that we’re making good progress
Oh no, oh no, I can’t believe nothing ever changes
Conflict junkies
Our judgment kills the feeling there’s a you and me
Find your mercy
When the anger grows and it overwhelms me

Thanatos
03:35
|
|||
|
Dopamine
A diamond between the eyes. Fix your inside
Moonshine
Biology will mix the cocktail of a lifetime
Do you bury your dreams in apathy?
Vulgarity
The glory and the virtue died so long ago
Thanatos
My hope will consume your broken, cruel, immortal soul
So you bury your dreams in apathy
Oh you bury your dreams in apathy

The Truth
05:40
|
|||
|
Vows of no faith
Why do we do it to ourselves
When nothing will ever change?
Get in here nerd slut
My promises come true, baby
With the door shut
Why do you fight the truth?
You know I’ve seen you
Freaking in the strobe light
A thousand eyes all over you
Turned on
(I’m so turned on)
You think that you’ve lived the pain
Every day alone
But I was there for every feeling
Thank fuck I was always so
Turned on
Oh, I need the truth
Oh, give me the truth
How much do you want my truth?
How much do you need my truth?
Medicate me with contact
My loyalty is toxic
When you give me something back
The ghost of empathy haunts me
My spectrum life, seeing black and white
Can only lead to dis-ease
Oh, all the times you said you cared
In the flesh, but nobody there
Ghosting me into a hole
Fucking with me unaware
Like nothing I’ve ever known
I’ll deconstruct the love into lust
How are we gonna find who we’re gonna fuck?
All of our appetites wetted
It can be people authentic
To not feel wrong
(Oh I want it to be wrong!)
Patience, boy
That’s just not my strength
I commit to this contract
My loyalty is toxic
When you give me something back
(I’ll give you something back)

Army Of The Winter Sun
03:57

|
Selfing overload
Think you’re going to crack
The full catastrophe went
Heavy on your back
Can’t you see we are an army?
Why won’t you let me in to carry the load?
Trauma bonding with
Fear of the unknown
Stop digging trenches
Army of the winter sun
Lay down your defenses
Army of the winter sun
You are not alone
You’re not going to crack

supported by 48 fans who also own “Fault Lines¹”
Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year.

Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.
