Gone
The last few ones I was depending on
Shut down by internal commandments
that keep on upgrading themselves as you go along
For all it´s worth we gave 'em a fight
yeah we constantly sought for alternative views
But it's hard to come out of the cage as the winner

 Второй альбом финских мелодик дэтстеров Amoral похож как две капли воды на их первенец. Та же самая попытка играть мелодичный дэт с примесью альтернативы провалилась – композициям не хватает ни драйва, ни качевости. Хороший звук не делает погоды: если в начале альбома пару песен и можно записать в хиты, то уже к середине однообразие игровых приемов и небольшого набора “фишек” приедается, а в конце и вовсе напрягает. Рисованное оформление альбома по-своему забавно, но далеко не ново, а выбранная цветовая гамма рассматривать его лишний раз не способствует. Конкурентов у Amoral множество, и большинство из них этих финских музыкантов переигрывают. (Диск предоставлен компанией Фоно) |

Adjusting
Adjusting to things we know nothing about
They call it progress, I call it the easy way out
This is not a revenge
but merely a consequence
Life devoted to causal relation
And if you can't comprehend, cannot see what has triggered
this burst of emotion I'm sorry, but I'm out of moves by now...
Roll the credits and let the curtain come down
Introducing yourself with a crowbar in hand
It's all about first impressions...
Marking territory - do not cross the line
Something will have to give...
I feel like I'm filling the same forms again and again
and you're all to blame
It's time for these obsolete minds to be taken over...
Let these scars be reminders of knowing your place
It’s time for these obsolete minds to be taken over
LACRIMAL GLAND
When you lose the first round
you call yourself reborn
Do you know what you do
if you can’t understand what it will gain?
A point blank refusal of forgiveness
for deliberate indifference
Injury self-inflicted
Your face is covered, still I know you’re alive
There’s an alien in your mind
and the haven is harder to find
Perfectly supreme
I’m your frequent despair
See how fast I take your place, your form
I will prevail, I will remain
Actuating something that’s always been there
Presence outshined, you’ve been made disabled
Try to run from what’s within
Your face is covered, still I know you’re alive
There’s an alien in your mind
and the haven is harder to find
Perfectly supreme
I’m your frequent despair
DECROWNING
I think today might be the day we’ll see it all go down
Jesters taking over, kings separated from their crowns
And if that is the case, I’ll join the crowd, lead the parade
Look back nine years from now and see the damage that we’ve made
For those still by my side – it will not go unnoticed
For those against me – your name is ailing
I think today might be the day we’ll see it all go down
Jesters taking over, kings separated from their crowns
And if that is the case, I’ll join the crowd, lead the parade
Look back nine years from now and see the damage that we’ve made
For those still by my side – it will not go unnoticed
For those against me – your name is ailing
No, don’t tell me it’s the thought that counts
That saying is for those who misfired each one of their rounds
Now mark my words, I’ll raise the bar, I’ll walk the mile
I’ve just begun
For those still by my side – it will not go unnoticed
For those against me – your name is ailing
TIEBREAKER
Go – and leave yourself behind
Pride – a useless state of mind
On your knees, hands to the heavens
Tear it down, start again, make it last this time
It will not be easy
Most likely you’ll never succeed
The fall of all that’s to be
not for all but for one
A view to put things to perspective
not pleasant but surely effective
Where to go with the wishes rejected
lies defected, despair injected
Barking through life, leaving biting for others
Oblivious to the filth that it gathers
Pushed and delayed and now it’s too late
Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says
Done – this one is done
White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones
Don’t – don’t you tread on me
This one was simply not to be
A view to put things to perspective
Not pleasant but surely effective
Where to go with the wishes rejected
lies defected, despair injected
Barking through life, leaving biting for others
Oblivious to the filth that it gathers
Pushed and delayed and now it’s too late
Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says
Done – this one is done
White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones
Don’t – don’t you tread on me
This one was simply not to be
To come out from the other side with no regrets
To feel that these scars belong to someone else
To still be standing when you’re hearing the bells
Un-fucking-likely
DRUG OF CHOICE
No time to read the small print
wouldn't understand it anyhow
A plague roams here among us
Time to repent your choice is now
When was the wrong turn taken?
How was it missed by all?
Like many times before
the rush shall be our fall
The rush shall be our fall
Great white mentality
Upgraded skin desease
Two-thirds in front of me
Far from serenity
I will not play ball to this organized corrotion
I will not be part of your hypocrite devotion
Upholding discipline with fear
Tell us the words we want to hear
Smooth operating through the never-ending disintegration
Blood-lunged, yelling warnings and prophecies
Pure hate taking it's toll
Time and time again
The rush shall be our fall
The sound of silence long gone, still we keep tuning in
Nailed up against the wall for anyone to get a piece
Cut down to size, yet still the first to bite the hand that feeds
There'll come a time you'll have to do without the fear you breed
DENIAL 101
You win the prize for being the first one
I wash the blisters off my hands
Because and in spite of this breed
nothing remains excluded
No difficult choices made
The silence, the silence will reach you
Tempted by your core
Cease to be, cease to live
Tempted by your core
Devoted to peel - denying to feel
Exit granted, feel the tension
Now step out of this dimension
Inwards growing intention
A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less
Everything sinking through the skin of your feet
while standing on the splinters of your past
Serving you fate or serving your will?
Not that it ever made a difference
for you are and will endure ill
Tempted by your core
Cease to be, cease to live
Tempted by your core
Devoted to peel - denying to feel
Exit granted, feel the tension
Now step out of this dimension
Inwards growing intention
A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less
When did you creep to me?
I live to recognize
Why don’t you figure out
by yourself why to run away
You better keep on hiding
‘cos you’ll be fucked if you start to run
Here’s the line, give it a go
this bridge is flammable
A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less
CONTROL CANCER
I cut your wings the moment you think that you cannot fly
Smother my habitat, foment the thoughts of my demise
Seems like we’ve met before - you may not know me but I know you
Pretence paradox - fault of purpose amputee
Am I your enemy or what?
I attack from inside
When I rule there are no principles, but I know where they lie
Keep your hands out of this, an untouchable progress has begun
Control cancer
Inside you, I watch your struggle
Control cancer
Inside you, I make a strike
Decadent vision controls my life and the vision is your very self
Immortal life form nesting in a mortal shell
I am the excess you try to skim but you retake us the on the sly
For rejecting me you’re shaking your halo
The drill of reason - reaching your temple
Insecure and weak - you cut the tongue that digs my eyes
Am I your enemy or what?
I attack from inside
Control cancer
Inside you, I watch your struggle
Control cancer
Inside you, I make a strike
We shall retake our existence
RAPTUS
Running out of solutions
Conscious or carried away?
Classify, separate, codify - hear dismay
Atomize, aggregate, rearrange - fear the fate
Invasion and spiritual penetration
Awaken on the edge of unjustified suspicion
Is the alteration possible with no demolition?
Deadbeat and shivering, approaching the next period
The delusion that liberation is drawing near
Mind-set euthanasia
Arise out of impulse
Mental suicide
Exertion beyond intensity
With open arms adopting the true desperation
Affected system towards the new adoring face
Another victim of a synthetic evocation
A cry of relief sealing the disgrace
BLEEDER
Burning a hole in the back of my neck
It will always come back to this
For a second I looked away and it got the job done
I say that I understand
but I'm not sure that I do
If I only could have those few minutes back...
We're the ones who made it happen
I alone made it all come down
The point of no return is purifying
Retrospecting for all the wrong reasons
Pointing fingers to numb out the pain
Distorting the truth with a good dose of make-belief
I will have to live with this for the rest of my life
and that will take me to my grave
We're the ones who made it happen
I alone made it all come down
The point of no return, it's purifying
Bleeder
look at you now
