Chris Erised Giacca The only thing more sickening than the sheer compositional and technical proficiency on display is that the exponents were all of 16 years old when it was written and performed. Sounds like Born Of Osiris when they still had riffs. Favorite track: Shaping Structures.

Traces 01:28
The waiting to breathe from all this helpless damnation The clouds are building darkened days to come Upon our annihilation To take over another ones say I won't follow - Nor will I lead I'll face this alone Brainwashing that's lead us to choke All that was believed is now a hoax
2.
This evolution has begun but we won't listen Following the remains of devotion Resist the void There's no belief - They hide themselves from reality Minds contempt in helpless erosion to resist the void But I refrain from my own decisions to become a number To be slaved Hold the reflective actions Reflective actions Exile the nation Get down and crawl So they came to conquer because we don't follow their ways Bound by a page putting others to disgrace Realise and prevent the damnation Falling into agreement of forbearance Giving into containment Give up Realisation to overcome The abolishment that chained us down Mongered in hatred Imprisoned at bay facing the shutters Coming as one Recognize the embracement Reflective Actions Exile the nation Who to believe Exile the nation

Foreboding 04:30
Fists of judgement Always carried fury Into the mind works Unaware of detriment for a higher wealth Ruling over what can't be tamed Sending the pleaded spirit into a world of its own shame Years turned to haze as the dream spread Creating worlds of reigning misery Battling Positivity Surmounting surroundings of fear tales darkly hidden away To rain upon those who are set for despair There were never any roads to choose as it's all a big game Driving a vortex to sweep up such innocence Being frowned against There's an ultimate supremacy Demanding a change for the ruins ahead Showering from tombstones to come Bewaring the nightmares Haunting the foreseen Falling to mist feeling the drift being pulled away From the grip of being saved There's no atmosphere Transforming like an anarchistic machine To gladiate and win over the mirage of belief
4.
Obscuration 04:14
Descendent towers started off the flaw Plundering to suffocate and cause Simple price to pay for lies fed Overwhelming greed with fools to be lead Turn the saw Cutting away the hope for all Climbing the lies to an entrance Thinking they will end up free Tales of myths prepare infants They give their lives for such vanity Creating foul belief That there's a higher source Stealing the wealth and deceiving the poor Cults to brainwash all in life's power Secretly forming a useless throne Darkening energies block the promised light No space to hide while being torn inside Throw away what was had and bury the past Let go of conscience there's no fighting fate Soon to be a page of history Confraternity's mystery Helplessly chased by despair Judgement decides who will live or die Following implantations to fit the norm Forever in debt reigning them in fortune

We need to shape a way out Trapped beneath currents in This endless fight It's hard enough bonding with a tide Wasting all this time to be mislead Can't find myself - I still pretend Raise the courage to fend a path Liberate against worlds of mayhem Building the strength to defect Training armies so hopelessly dissident Another war to break the pieces Cellular walls to prevent release Haunting our conscience we mindlessly follow Statues of saints crumble away No monuments to pray for ending this age Hiroshimical craters will choke our respiration This battle was lost long before the extinguish Self-immolation will make us victorious Occultation slips into our fears Losing sight of presence that lured those here Prisons of the mind Become one Left without chance Becoming insecure Shading the fades Distorting visions All that's left to live for What's chosen now is done A Conflict postponed has begun There's no infantry to defend Roads leading out have come to an end
7.
A poison in my vein runs so cold Secreting Forthcoming helpless and depraved in shame Calling a vengeance Arise when suns down Controlled by rays grasping in While watching the shore disappear Anchoring chained piece by piece The end of this great fossil bearing alone This sea reflects self infliction Carving a sustained scar of what's left Taking me for this granted redemption Ending the fall - I am breathless Spun funneled and enclosed Weathered away Raising the dead I am breathless Blinded by signs Pleading the freedom from this life To turn back now wouldn't change the chance Leading to the infection Guilt surrounds earth The seas run dry - A drought in time Spreading unease we must create a disease I feel the chance to leave Changing belief My savior has broken This has lead us away Arise when suns down Controlled by rays grasping in I'm watching the shore dissappear
8.
The turn of treason Answering to those who called Exiled to obscurity Restoring ourselves Back to a cherished state Re-Creating paths leading escape This air once reclined to freeze Washing up inanimate disease Ruins now holding us down Fossilized and discrete Rise above the conspire Return to the start of this life Losing the final fight for vengeance Left without strength to carry on I'm buried under the eye With my soul still in sight Hours spent scratching at walls They're caving in Climbing step by step escaping this fucking disease An ambience fills the perimeter The deceased know it's here Gears start turning unlocking new air The destruction long forgotten is finally near I've wasted all this time suffering until end Once this is through my violence won't comprehend Rise above the conspire and return to the start of this life This isn't living We're all parted from our own minds Blinded so easily They can't see what's right Infiltrate the decision that caused this to begin Recommence mayhem but this time on them Hope was within the burning we just needed to crawl through the smoke
