2.	The Forest of Men 05:53	lyrics	buy track
Human beings are seen as grains of sand By the great constellation of planets They’re living and breathing for no reasons They die in total ignorance But have the arrogance to despise everything I don’t wanna be part of these men I try to move far away from them I don’t wanna be part of these men I don’t belong to them The perfect mix Between love and pain Takes ‘em to hell To have killed each other I don’t wanna be part of these men I try to move far away from them I don’t wanna be part of these men I don’t belong to them The forest of men is the purest place For everyone’s secrets A lot of people try to delete their past Instead of reconciling past and present Without thinking about the future I don’t wanna be part of these men I try to move far away from them I don’t wanna be part of these men I don’t belong to them

Hangin’ out as usual at night Something curious draws my attention Some kind of children creeping in the streets Ready to rob anyone Unsociable Dangerous games Are they controlled? I need to know Bad omen How to survive? In this life With no pain The city’s crawling with rats Children are missing Sewer’s dictatorship ‘Cause the rat king is right there Making my own inquiry I succeed to approach one of the children He’s a stranger to civilization He shows me the frightening atrocity Is he anxious? To go back there Again Fear is his only Enemy The memories Are haunting him The city’s crawling with rats Children are missing Sewer’s dictatorship ‘Cause the rat king is right there Submission at its height Raised like cattle Forced to obey to this humanoid Deliverance is near my friends Two ferocious Crocodiles Used as bodyguards Time to conclude A new hope is born This is the end of The rat king’s reign The city’s crawling with rats Children are missing Sewer’s dictatorship ‘Cause the rat king is done
4.	Shifted 08:40	lyrics	buy track
I feel I’m shifting from human beings Marginality is my way of life Anger invades me as I see all this chaos coming Which would mean the fall of society Shifted! I don’t accept the deeds of my people Shifted! Madness takes possession of myself I’ve no fear to do everything I’m thinking of To do something unlikely when you least expect it It’s my way to live and to be special Inside this merciless and selfish world Shifted! I’m such a loner because of what people have become Shifted! My brain is drowning into my soul and my dreams I get my sanity back and everything is clear now We can only find wisdom deep in ourselves But we can’t stay alone for too long I’m feeling closer to the earth than ever before
5.	Majora Family 07:54	lyrics	buy track
Raised in a strange family The boy has learned to walk early Because he is what we call A gifted child Asked by his parents to become A serial killer But he doesn’t want to follow This cruel path The world’s domination This is what their goal is The world’s domination This is what their role is Slavery Manipulation Extinction Power Misanthropy Fate At the dawn of his fifteenth birthday He goes away to see world What he had seen was shocking Manipulated by evil His heart is becoming black It’s full of sadness and melancholy Memories of his childhood The world’s domination This is what their goal is The world’s domination This is what their role is Slavery Manipulation Extinction Power Misanthropy Fate From now on humanity is in danger ‘Cause of the sheer power of this group Their role is to reduce the population By lying to the people To destroy the life of millions By enslaving them To be the ultimate control over earth This is the destiny of the child Cursed by fate Because of the majora family From now on humanity is in danger ‘Cause of the sheer power of this group Their role is to reduce the population By lying to the people To destroy the life of millions By enslaving them To be the ultimate control over earth This is the destiny of the child Cursed by fate Because of the majora family
6.	Gloom at its Finest 06:45	lyrics	buy track
I don’t know what happened to me? I see shadows and lights I don’t think I’m on drugs I hear creaking sounds My brain orders to me to keep moving In front of me A door appear in the feeble light This is insanity Since I’ve bought this house The beast is smiling when it sees my tears This is the end of my life As I know it This place is reassuring But there’s something I don’t understand Gloom at its finest I have nothing to fear Because I am dreamin’ in darkness Gloom at its finest In the cellar of this house I see terrifying visions From the master of horror Known as my brain Maybe the loss of a loved one Have an effect on me? Ghosts of my past deaths I need to face my nightmares Since I’ve bought this house The beast is smiling when it sees my tears This is the end of my life As I know it This place is reassuring But there’s something I don’t understand Gloom at its finest I have nothing to fear Because I am dreamin’ in darkness Gloom at its finest

What pain will it take? To satisfy Your sick appetite Go in for the kill Always in sight, prey The time always right, feast Feed on the pain, taste Sorrow made flesh, sweet Live how you want Just don't feed on me If you doubt what I say I will make you believe Shallow are words From those who starve For a dream not their own to Slash and scar Big words small mind Behind the pain you will find a scavenger Of human sorrow Scavenger Abstract theory The weapon of choice used by a scavenger Of human sorrow Scavenger So you have traveled far Across the sea To spread your written brand Of misery Always in sight, prey The time always right, feast Feed on the pain, taste Sorrow made flesh, sweet Live how you want Just don't feed on me If you doubt what I say I will make you believe Shallow are words From those who starve For a dream not their own to Slash and scar Big words, small mind Behind the pain you will find a scavenger Of human sorrow Scavenger Abstract theory The weapon of choice used by a scavenger Of human sorrow Scavenger
