WITTICISM LYRICS

1. Zero Dark Thirty

[Instrumental]

2. Conquer This Pain

You took this part of me; And threw me down in the dust
It's time to let it go; Never knew that I was ready at last
Spitting fire and hate; False idols we followed to war
Souls torn to pieces until we're hollow at core

Straight from the serpent's tongue - no longer will I suffer your lies
Shroud my mind in torment; An ironclad heart in disguise
Born into a world of hatred; But still we're destined to see
Pariah nation tell me now: how are you different from me!?

This is where I draw the line, these words are worthless to me
The last lie of mine –Retaliation!
I won't suffer these lies, tear down this prison of tears
Conquer this pain of mine – Eradication!

It is time for these scars to heal – Conquer this pain!
Bringing down the walls of silence – I rise again!
Slaves to the very hate that we feel – Conquer this pain!
Illusions never were real – A brighter day...
I will prevail!

This fiery rain of anguish; Long was it drowning me alive
Disembodied torment; I've got to separate to thrive
Oh time is a healer; It mends even the deepest wounds
Defy all death and madness - I shall not suffer this doom

The paths I tread tonight; A distant glimpse, the shadow of myself
Is life just this endless fight? Or is it foremost in my mind?
I've marched a thousand miles; and I will march a thousand more
Away from this cold wet darkness towards this open door!

Break away - From all this solitude – Slave to the misery within myself!

This life is mine to control (to control)
I've bled my scars – Forever bound?!

Never lost my will to breathe...
No longer will I sit in silence (this pain)
Shun from this life – time to break this illusion!

This is where I draw the line, these words are worthless to me
The last lie of mine –Retaliation!
I won't suffer these lies, tear down this prison of tears
Conquer this pain of mine – Eradication!

It is time for these scars to heal – Conquer this pain!
Bringing down the walls of silence – I rise again!
Slaves to the very hate that we feel – Conquer this pain!
Illusions never were real – A brighter day...
Prevail!
Forever
And all eternity
I shall conquer this pain (inside of me)
I am defiance – this is my fucking remedy!

This is where I draw the line, these words are worthless to me
The last lie of mine –Retaliation!
I won't suffer these lies, tear down this prison of tears
Conquer this pain of mine – Eradication!

It is time for these scars to heal – Conquer this pain!
Bringing down the walls of silence – I rise again!
Slaves to the very hate that we feel – Conquer this pain!
Illusions never were real – A brighter day...
I will prevail!

3. Don't Doubt My Belonging

Is it the hate of past that carved this void inside of me?
This is a place of darkness well beyond the reasons that once made me be...
Broken reflections show a grim and painful frown, I know all hope is gone.
My name already history? I cannot be the only one...

Do you remember me - Still tell my face from chaos?
What was it you saw in the dark?
Do demons haunt you too? I'm taken oh by hate and anger!
Seems like you've got me mistaken for a lost one...
Facing the day, my inner demons – they grew strong!
But don't you doubt my belonging...

Witness the single thought that sparks a flame inside of me;
A fragile glimpse of strength in all this dark that sets my world ablaze!
Broken reflections show a grim and painful frown, but still not all is lost.
My name already history? Sure as hell I'm not the only one...

Not the only one...
Can I stand this pain?
All this death in vain?

This is loss in triumph - Misguided prevalence!
Equivalent of fear - a war that never ends!
This is cost of triumph – Test my resilience!
For your bloody cause I gave my all – Too late to make amends?!

Do you remember me - Still tell my face from chaos?
What was it you saw in the dark?
Do demons haunt you too? I'm taken oh by hate and anger!

Seems like you've got me mistaken for a lost one...
Facing the day, my inner demons – they grew strong!
But don't you doubt my belonging...

Can I stand this pain?
All this death in vain?

4. Kairos

What's the remainder of the time that's given me?
Shadows take be best as only merciless prevail.
Will I be remembered as it all turns to dust?
So weak and weary; this forlorn life - another past...

Will I be the one to rise above the height of life?
Or simply will the sands of time cloak my so unadorned demise?

LIES - for my very eyes - I can't believe
FEAR - has no grip of me – am I divine?
LIES - for my very eyes - won't be deceived
KAIROS – weed out the weak? – This choice is mine!

It's considered vantage to life by a book of lies.
Some thousand years they've preached - how do they know
what to call wrong and right?
Will it ease my passing, or will it be my worst disgrace?
Is this my fate, my truth, my calling? If I take the shot will I be falling?

Will we be the ones to rise above the height of life?
Or simply will the sands of time hide our unadorned demise?
Am I the flame that burns this world? I drink thy tears, feast on thy souls!
There's only one truth in chaos – will we fade in times of...

LIES - for my very eyes - I can't believe
FEAR - has no grip of me – am I divine?
LIES - for my very eyes - won't be deceived
KAIROS – weed out the weak? – This choice is mine!

Will we be the ones to rise above the height of life?
Or simply will the sands of time be our unadorned demise?

LIES - for my very eyes - I can't believe
FEAR - has no grip of me – am I divine?
LIES - for my very eyes - won't be deceived
KAIROS – weed out the weak? – This choice is mine!

5. Aphelion

Our time to act is nigh
But here I seem to stand alone
No screams, no tears, no cries
Their moral compass overthrown

Lived under capitals rule – a long sewn seed of destruction
Ad infinitum - Come save me from the burning!

Seems like forever I
Have faced the blackness of their thoughts
They march under an angry sky
Rules gone in the blink of an eye

Born into this terror - Come save me from the falling night!
Screaming out my lungs – Against a storm of lies and spite

My shattered heart it cries defiance!
They are Aphelion
So far from any truth
Beneath the flesh, worthless creation
Look at us carrion men
Thousand years
Still the same

Fabricated lies - Black tides engulf the districts
No cry for help – Hysteria of the masses

Tragedy comes crashing down
A tidal wave of hero's blood

Sick from this filth
Like lambs brought to slaughter

A world of fucking cowards – casualty of failed existence
Demons of doctrine – oh, they will wain and wither

Let their gods cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
We'll burn in hell for their transgressions
Intellectual dispossession

Born into this terror - Come save me from the falling night!
Screaming out my lungs – Against a storm of lies and spite

So far
From truth
The furthest from the sun...

My shattered heart it cries defiance!
They are Aphelion
So far from any truth
Beneath the flesh, worthless creation
Look at us carrion men
Thousand years
Still the same

6. The Fire, The Blade, The Storm

We shall - Not fail your eyes
When all your hope seems gone
Stand your ground despite demise
You have the strength to carry on

No compromise and no surrender
Marching through hell
For all the ones who stood beside thee
On foreign shores they fell

You're one with us as banners fly
No brother's left behind
In fires and the blackened skies
Misery and sorrow thrives...

Long you've stared into the void
Lo and behold: all this pain will wash away
See the fire, feel the blade, the storm
Reborn from flames - arise

Once we're one - we are strong
As disease spills cross the world
See the fire, feel the blade, the storm
Take back the fight

Never I shall be someone to back down in light of countless threats
Dear mind – dear sanity – whatever you've become...
We'll shine a light even in the darkest of all nights
Put an end to both the chaos and the fear

Follow the calling of your heart
Brethren beyond our dying day
Fury is my shield in peaceless times
Onwards the path - betraying this demise

There's darker realms in oh this world
Protect the freedom of your thoughts
Insanity will thrive
Alas, these rotten corpses!

No compromise and no surrender
The silent dreams you fear
For all the ones that stood beside thee
Matters not the names they bear

You're one with us as banners fly
No brother's left behind
In fires and the blackened the sky
Misery and sorrow thrives...

Long you've stared into the void
Lo and behold: all this pain will wash away
See the fire, feel the blade, the storm
Reborn from flames - arise

Once we're one - we are strong
As disease spills cross the world
See the fire, feel the blade, the storm
Take back the fight

Never I shall be someone to back down in light of countless threats
Dear mind – dear sanity – whatever you've become...
We'll shine a light even in the darkest of all nights
Put an end to both the chaos and the fear

Remember the time before this barren waste of frost
Dear mind - dear sanity - what have you become?
Beyond the shores of sadness awaits a brighter light
No brother's ever left behind

Follow the calling of your heart
Brethren beyond our dying day
Fury is my shield in peaceless times
Onwards the path - betraying this demise

7. Under Blackened Sky

Take me
To the brink of extinction; Condemned to bear this weight alone
Torn by corruption; Black-hearted we shall carry on

Forging malice - mass destruction; Burning hatred amplified
Rejoicing sons and daughters; In all-consuming matricide

So many things deemed certain; We're blinded by our craven fears
Beyond the bright horizon; Prayers fall on deafened ears

On barren lands of old
Fall our seeds of reason
Founding nations
On hatred and obscenity

Forced to abandon all
Of our dear compassion
Even the eternal stars
Refuse to shine

We're wretched vermin
Under blackened sky
For all profane believers
My truth of no avail

Arrogance will rise once more; Rise on degradation's wings
So many words of reason; Kingdoms built from ignorance

Fright becomes our home; When a sense of guilt should rise
True face of agony; Defeated minds and lies...

So many things deemed certain; We're blinded by our craven fears
Beyond the bright horizon; Prayers fall on deafened ears

On barren lands of old
Fall our seeds of reason
Founding nations
On hatred and obscenity

Forced to abandon all
Of our dear compassion
Even the eternal stars
Refuse to shine

We're wretched vermin
Under blackened sky
For all profane believers
My truth of no avail

Make me a martyr; A betrayed and broken shell
Black tides cast up our failures; Eternal rise and fall

Paid in the blood of those forsaken; As above, so below
All hope is torn asunder; Unending tale of woe

So many things deemed certain; We're blinded by our craven fears
Beyond the bright horizon; Prayers fall on deafened ears
