Mitsuyuki Sekizawa I never thought that they were a metal band from Switzerland.
Usually,I seldom listen to the music like this.
The sound is hard to categorize.
Progressive metal?
No,I can't always say so.
Some of them are like black metal.
I don't know why but they have something enchanted. Favorite track: The Great Deception.

1.
All is a lie that we have fallen to. Bring us to our knees, in the despair of what we believed. This is a downfall, this is the tragedie's end. This is the great deception. To hell with love, to hell with hope. Feelings you can’t really feel. And the dying man thought to himself. "The horror, the horror." And if it was just nothingness? How can I feel peace, in such emptiness? Watch me as I descend into nothingness I refuse and I deny, a fate written in stone, older than I, older than time.
2.
This is the end of everything, that you were living for and that you were living to die for. Labour all night and day just to see it all fucking fade away. What will your tomorrow bring? Blindfolded and doomed we hide behind the mass hypocrisy We hide behind the mask of our own comfort. Open your mind and you will see the illusion of safety will fade away into despair. Nothing’s left Blood spilled for your fathers. Deflorated once again. To bring to this world the ones who will bury you alive. I see you waving high that banner of lies.

So this is me, broken but not defeated with the whole world in my hands, ready to crush it apart. For when our hearts desires fail us, we end up crushing them apart. Because I feel nothing for you, nothing oh sweet nothingness. So this is us, a generation of the so-called debaucherd youth, chasing our own history, coughing up the smoke. Nothing is happening, nothing is moving. We seem to have become out of touch. Indifference has become the norm. For nothing. "These are the sleepless night, these are the lonely days." They say to me but I don’t know what that means, cause I don’t feel anything for you. When will we ever learn? When will we ever change? I scream out loud, that this the sound of the pounding heart of my generation. So this is you, and this is me and that is all I have to say. Because I feel nothing for you, nothing oh sweet nothingness.

Life/Less 04:20
Everywhere around me is telling me to end it all tonight. The ideas flowing through my brain will get the best of me. This sinking feeling of alienation is gaining ground. I cannot feel, I cannot connect, I can’t relate. We are all linked and loved yet everyone dies alone. I am my one and only perception of reality, of everything. Waiting on someone to prove that you are something, when all along you knew you weren’t worth it. How hard should it be to just enjoy the ride, because after all it’s just a ride I am the scum, I am the filth, I am the reason of my instability. Living with the guilt, trying to find the answers within, when you're the one to blame. Call this my coming out, call this me giving in, call this what you will because I can’t find the god damn words. This is my cry of negation towards a life lived life/less.

This is the point of no return. No going back to the days where I felt secure, where I felt so sure. I hear them screaming in my head, to fill the void deep within me. This is a downfall, this is the end. Is this the new face of mankind, of our humanity. I will not become a servant to the human condition. I will die standing on my feet.
8.
Thus Spoke 05:42
Oh great father, oh grand king, why have you left, oh why have you fled. The ideas founded so deep inside me have taken flight no longer to be seen. The child inside me has grown up, risen up and now no longer wants to see, to believe. Consider this me leaving you. Helpless, we fall to our knees. Gone, my faith has been ridden from the realisation of the hopelessness of this world. Gone, nowhere to be seen. I've got a bone to pick with you. The child inside me has grown up, risen up and now no longer wants to feel, never again will feel. All has fallen apart; my expectations remain in ruin, in filth. And it’s the nothingness that’s got a grip on me, oh helplessness, when will you ever get the best of me. As I look into the eyes of the abyss, I see nothing. Is there still some time for the question of the great perhaps. Thus spoke the son of man.
9.
There comes a time in one’s life when man has to realise that when the going gets tough, there’s no place to run. I’m at the forefront of my own existence and I don’t have a clue. This cold heart screams tonight, but yet I am alone. And as we see the sunset rise we are faced with the eternal wrath. I want to live, I want to love, afraid of falling into banality I want to fight, I want to fuck, yet I find comfort in this all. I'm scared to live, I'm scared to love, afraid of falling into banality I'm scared to fight, I'm scared to fuck, yet I find comfort in this all. When will this cycle ever ends, I'm waiting onwards Onwards I’m done, will this cycle never ends. I'm pleading for this to end.
10.
Oblivion 02:35
As we face the violence of this world, we try to deal with the boredom of everyday life. We try and fail to bring meaning and answers. To hold on to the rope up against our back. All of this out of fear of descending. Into Oblivion.
