It's a simple observation
Even the cynical soul can't ignore
A young boy's dreams shattered by truth and cast aside
{Seemingly shaken by this he falls in line, keeping his anger inside
Hopes for the day when the shackles will fall
Knowing full well he may not recall
The feelings he had from the start
It's a hell of a way to lose your heart}
It seems on most days I try to remain
Distant yet relevant
The hardest part is making them think
That what they say matters at all
Pretend my way through all of my days
It's just enough to keep them at bay
I no longer make that kind of wake
An outsider's choice
Here we don't speak of the future, now is enough for us all
Here is your link to the people if you can take their noise
I cannot give you solace, forsaking all that is true
You must appease the ones making decisions for you
All this time you've wandered
Punishments you've endured
When will the laughing end?
How can you settle the score?
Is it vengeance you need?
Is that your victory?
I can remember each of you, this won't fade away
I'm sure you've forgotten, wish I could say the same
The poison you gave me, it lingers - and I've passed it along
I don't think I should let go, none of this feels wrong
Incredible piece of prog-metal. Really has some kick-ass riffs and solo-parts.
Maybe a tad bit weak vocals, but makes up for it with excellent intrumentals. Martin færøy
Love and peace to Ukraine! With the horrible news about the ongoing war in Karfagen's and Antony's home country and his home town of Charkiw, it's hard to find the proper words, praising this beautiful, symphonic prog album...
I wish you and yours all the best - keep safe!!! Carsten Pieper
