1. Dernier Souffle

2. Purgatory

Purgatory, between a rock and a hard place
Purgatory, set me free
Entre le bien et le?mal

At?war with myself
Exhausted,?in the middle of an existential?crisis
No way out, claustrophobic
I am at war with myself
My head's up in a smoke cloud
Isolated, feeling jaded
Nothing to say in my defence
I am at war with myself, oh

Purgatory, set me free
Between good and evil
Purgatory, between a rock and a hard place
Purgatory, set me free
Entre le bien et le mal

I've escaped the sunken place
The fire burns beneath my feet
I'm reaching up, need a saving grace
Caught between good and evil, losing my soul
One step forward and two steps back
The fire burns beneath my feet
No looking down or I'll fade to black
Caught between good and evil, losing my soul

What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Navigating through the ups and downs
I curse the sky above
Ignore the god below
Look for answers in the shadow
Still searching for a higher purpose
Feeling hopeless
They say the path to paradise (Begins in Hell)
Begins in Hell
Purgatory

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

3. Light Speed

No time to lose
Pick up the pace
Can't keep up, always fucking late
No time to spare
Out?of?my way
My livelihood?is at stake

On the grind, always?on the grind
Onward
The wheels are in motion
Smashing doors wide open
Run for my life
Won't skip a beat
I will reach light speed
There's no rest

No time to waste
Back on my game
In a state of emergency
So many things left unchecked on my list
All these thoughts rushing through my head
For my art, I have bled

On the grind, always on the grind
Onward
The wheels are in motion
Smashing doors wide open
Run for my life
Won't skip a beat
I will reach light speed
There's no rest for the wicked

I'm burning the candle by both ends
Burning by both ends
Balance I will achieve
At peace with all the chaos
Demons, please set me free
I'm burning the candle by both ends
Burning by both ends

Here we go
Fuck
No, I won't fold now or it will all have been in vain
Oh, I've gone this far
Can't walk away
Find strength in adversity
Through pain, a passage into forlorn
I will be reborn
Won't skip a beat
I will reach light speed

4. Slow Burning

Please the god ov war
They're fighting fire with fire
Power and wealth, a burning desire
Praise the?god?ov war
Forever fanning?the flames
Hordes lead to early graves
Praise?the god ov
Praise the god ov war

Slowly burning
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
We're playing with matches
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
Running out of chances
Driven by madness, return to nothing
Need to command and control, the ultimate goal
They're always asking for more

Praise the god ov war
They're fighting fire with fire
Driven by greed 'til their final hour
Praise the god ov war
Recklessly pulling the strings
Jesters posing as kings
Praise the god ov
Praise the god ov
The god ov war

Ally or enemy, it's death or victory
Judgement day
As you sow, you shall reap, beware
Triumph and tragedy, repeating history
Judgement day
Can't escape man's destructive ways

Which side are you on?
As you sow, you shall reap, beware
I refuse to be part of this dance, to perpetuate hate
Break the cycle
Laid to waste
Raining bombs and bullets
The sky is falling down
Can't escape man's destructive ways, oh
Reaper leaf by my side, I fight the good fight
Maverick for life
Through darkness comes the light

They're fighting fire with fire
When will it end?
Will there be survivors?
Praise the god ov war
Watch it all burn from the sidelines
Still ignoring the signs
Praise the god ov war

Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
We're playing with matches
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
Running out of chances
Driven by madness, return to nothing

5. Snake In The Grass

Snake in the grass
Wanted a song, now you got one
All these years by your side
Now?we're?all done
So self-absorbed
So?you lie and you lie again
Manipulate?all your friends
Until you're done with them
Walk away
Out of my life
You're fucking dead to me

Always had it your way, never compromised
Treating someone as a means to an end
Your intentions were never pure, no more lies
Relying on others, you try to blend in

Dodged a bullet
Deep down, I felt you were crooked
Kept ignoring my instinct (I knew it)
You finally let your true colours shine on my birthday
Oh, what a wonderful gift
Bitch, you're dead to me

Would you swear on your life?
On your life
Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?
I guess we'll never know the truth
Made me question my sanity
Went to the other side and it changed me
Came back a different man

Found a new prey
Covered your trail
Your words are venomous
Always tipping the scales
The element of surprise
Selective honesty
Cut through the smoke and denial
Love lost, throw away the key

Made me question my sanity
Went to the other side and it changed me
Came back a different man
I guess we'll never know the truth

Snake in the grass
Slithering around 'til you strike again
Switching your circle of friends
Each time you reach the edge
You had your chance to end things right
You had your chance to end things right
Learned a valuable lesson
I won't even put up a fight, no

Always had it your way, never compromised
Treating someone as a means to an end
Your intentions were never pure, no more lies
This is my final plea
You're dead to me

Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?
On your life
Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?

I beg you, bless me with the truth
11:11, I beg you, bless me with the truth
11:11, nothing but wishful thinking
11:11, every piece of the puzzle
Is finally in its right place
A fall from grace

6. Vies D'Anges

Vous vivrez comme des anges
Bienvenue au paradis
Le bonheur à tout prix
Le début d'une tragédie
La nouvelle sensation
Mille et une tentations
Prêt pour la grande dépression
Apaisez vos brûlures
Apposez votre signature
L'oiseau de mauvais augure
Le mal est nécessaire
La mort, mon adversaire
Si la tristesse devient éternelle, mon dieux coupez mes ailes

Vies d'anges
Vous vivrez comme des anges
Au sommet de la gloire
Le rêve n'est qu'illusoire
L'ascension est provisoire
L'opinion populaire derrière nos faits et gestes
Le mal est nécessaire
La mort, mon adversaire
Si la tristesse devient éternelle, mon dieux coupez mes ailes
Coupez mes ailes

Inondé de lumière
Lourds sont les louanges d'inconnus
Retour dans la pènombre
Je n'en peux plus
Le cœur à l'ouvrage, le rêve et les sacrifices
Une chance en or se change en cauchemar
J'en ai marre d'avoir faim, d'être négatif
Au bord du précipice

Pris dans l'engrenage
Sans issue, sans repos
Au revoir, le fardeau est si accablant
En train de lâcher prise, je fais mes adieux
Du haut des cieux, ma descente sera fulgurante
Un baume sur mes brûlures, il mais prêt du cœur

Prends ton courage à deux mains et laisse tout derrière toi
Prends ton courage à deux mains et laisse tout derrière toi
Prends ton courage à deux mains
Un nouveau commencement
Prends ton courage à deux mains
Un nouveau commencement
Vies d'anges

7. Moving On

Moving on

Barely survived the fall
I couldn't bare the truth
Took our pictures off the wall
Never thought?we'd?grow apart
From lovers?to enemies
Bleached away your DNA
Lost touch?with your family
Every trace of you is gone

Buried these memories
Still, they come rushing back
Bright skies turn black
A knife lodged in my gut
These cuts, they run so deep
I will find inner peace
All the smoke in the world will never numb the pain
Tried my best to forget
I must accept
Let go
Let you go

Moving on
I'm moving on

Took our long walks for granted, our silent conversations
Farewell loyal companion
Never got to say goodbye
Dreamt of you the other night
Held you close inside my arms
Good girl, hope you're alright
Miss you always, fuck my life

Buried these memories
Still, they come rushing back
Bright skies turn black
A knife lodged in my gut
These cuts, they run so deep
I will find inner peace
Every drink in the world will never drown the pain
Tried my best to forget
I must accept
Let go
Let you go

And so begins the healing process
I also share the blame
Absent and clearly in distress
And so begins the healing process
I finally broke the spell
Your magic made me such a mess
And so begins the healing process

Moving on
I'm moving on
Moving on

8. Unbreakable

I am unbreakable
Grab my hand, not my arm
Gave you an inch
Now you want to take?a?mile
Empty smiles, forced?favours
Sure, I'll drop everything
Every time you?snap your fingers

No, won't let it faze me
Nothing can drain my energy
I've finally shed my skin
For every single sin, I have paid my dues

Calm, collected
Stand up straight
Tried and tested
Calm, collected
Stay cold

Unpaid bills, passed deadlines
Flames everywhere
Let it burn, I'll be just fine
Chances are looking slim
Knew the odds, took the risk
Made your bed, now lie in it
Never better, grind forever

No handouts, no saviours
Won't let it faze me
Nothing can drain my energy
I've finally shed my skin
For every single sin, I have paid my dues

Calm, collected
Stand up straight
Tried and tested
Calm, collected
Stay cold

Under pressure, I once trembled in the face of adversity
All my prayers still unanswered, I found the courage within
Stand up straight
Stay cold

Unbreakable
Unbreakable
Lost my grip one too many times and I refuse to revisit that road
Unbreakable
Swore an oath to rebuild myself
A new foundation, strong and stable
Spread my wings like a bat out of hell
Can't slow me down, I am unbreakable
Unbreakable
Let the chaos flow right through my soul
Anxiety's now under control

9. Apex Predator

The hordes are moving in
Exploiting everything
Circling around like vultures
Casting a shadow over all pastures
We've reached?a?breaking point
Let's face?it, it's our fault
Fell into serious?disrepair
Toxins fill the air

We're the cancer spreading deep to all four corners
The enemy of every element
We're the cancer caused by greed
It's human nature

The hordes are moving on
Species are dead and gone
Resources are bled dry
Turning a profit as the whole world dies
We look the other way
Living with lack of empathy
Fell into serious disrepair
Corpses everywhere

Please stop this devastation
We're leaving such a mess for future generations
The land (The land) and sea connects all living beings
Please stop this killing spree

We're the cancer spreading deep to all four corners
The enemy of every animal
We're the cancer caused by greed
It's human nature

Value nothing
Profit from the suffering
Value nothing
Profit from the suffering

Can't you see we have reached the point of no return?
I am prepared to die alone
Can you say the same?
Ready to give up your home?
Value nothing
Profit from the suffering
Shifting the blame, repeating errors
Time to look in the goddamn mirror
Brace yourself for the aftermath, ready or not
Oh, it's our goddamn fault
We're all accountable
Every selfless act can help reduce the threat
Don't react, plan ahead or we're all fucking dead

Our cold world's melting
Our cold world's melting
We'll be extinct

10. Legacy

Confusion's in your eyes
Confronted by, by your own mortality
Yet you speak so softly
I know you're?still?in there
Inside that?weakened shell, clinging to reality
A pharaoh?lost in hell, fallen from our family tree
Your heart is pure, please do not despair
I know you're still in there

Blurred vision, loss of concentration
Sumerian secrets trapped inside your memory
Blessed by your presence for many generations
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on your legacy

"Apôtre des enfants et gardien de leur foi
Vainqueur de l'ignorance, à l'âme si fatale
Si fatale
Honneur à toi
Honneur à toi
Honneur à toi"

Our family's lord and saviour
Alas, your day will come
You will remain
Always a father figure
Alas, your day will come
You will remain
Always
A father figure left the motherland for greener pastures
Can't you remember?
You guided us through our failures
We are of the same blood
I know you're still in there
Tired, disillusioned
Can't escape this mental prison
Your heart is pure, please do not despair
I know you're still in there

Blurred vision, loss of concentration
Sumerian secrets trapped inside your memory
Blessed by your presence, nearly for a century
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on your legacy
We'll carry on your legacy
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on, on your legacy

Cradle to the grave
Tales from the Nile flooding the Saint Lawrence
No more denial, no more suffering in silence
Cradle to the grave
At peace with your sentence

11. Dead Weight

Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight
Let me sink into the abyss
Swim back up?to?the surface
Pulling you?down
Dead weight
I belong in the depths
Let?me go and catch your breath
The guilt is killing me
Farewell, I must set you free
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

Tried to resist your charms
Trust me, I fought the urge
Never meant any harm
The time has come to purge
I will not let you drown
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

Pushed you back and shut you out
Sacrificial lamb, run and save yourself
Goddamn
It was for the best, turn another page (Lay me down)
Lay me down to rest, bury all that rage (Toxic)
Six feet in the dirt, one hand reaching up
Dig me up, witness my rebirth
I will face the odds on my own
I'm on my own
Passive aggressive
Under construction, I am
I must shed all this weight
It's my last stand
There's no room for you, no more time for us
Grieving day and night, keep your distance
There's no room for you, no more time for us
Back to being strangers

Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight
I'm begging you, please just let me sink into the abyss
Swim back up to the surface
Pulling you down
Dead weight
I belong in the depths
Let me go and catch your breath
The guilt is killing me
Farewell, I must set you free
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

The infection spreads through my empty shell
Dump the emotional baggage
Relieve me from my burdens
Rebuild all that is damaged
Swallowing secrets, ingesting so much pain
So much pain
