EP "Silenced" - Averted (2020)

 The Plea 

Can you explain to me why  
You close your eyes  
When you see the light 
Silencing your thoughts  
Stepping back in line  
Giving up at the start 

I lead a path that they have made for me 
It’s where I’m safe why should I stray away  
I am not blind I choose not to see 
Turning my back is how I survive here 
They told me it’s best  
“It’s how you live free” 
The burden of the world is not mine to carry 

Spitting lies won’t change the facts  
See beyond and start to fight 

I am aching to see for myself 
But I am struggling to breathe 

You’ve seen the signs  
If you deny, you’re full of lies  
They’ve shown themselves  
So many times  
More than you can hide  

I lead a path that they have made for me 
It’s where I’m safe why should I stray away  
I am not blind I choose not to see 
Turning my back is how I survive here 
They told me it’s best  
“It’s how you live free” 
The burden of the world is not mine to carry 

All these thoughts are killing me  
I’m not ready to let go 

I heard your call before  
Your voice is hard to ignore  

You’ve seen the signs  
If you deny, you’re full of lies  
They’ve shown themselves  
So many times  
More than you can hide  

You’re giving up at the start

Silenced 

It’s time to rise  
I’ve been lied to for too long  
The unspoken truth is about to be told  

Concealed and silenced  
Too far for your eyes to see 
You’ll struggle to believe their stories 
They’ve walked on fire 
Crawled through hell  
They cannot die in vain  

Above this illusion  
There is a world  
That you won’t see 
A barless prison 
A line you cannot reach 

It’s time to rise  
I’ve been lied to for too long  
The unspoken truth is about to be told  

Born to be used  
Their voices were taken away from them 
Tortured and abused  
To profit an elite of soulless apes 

From the dawn of time 
To the world as we know it  
They did not matter at all 

They’ve walked on fire 
Crawled through hell  
They cannot die in vain  

Above this illusion  
There is a world  
That you won’t see 

Within the chaos that you live in 
You fight to breathe in hope that we won’t forget 
Praying that we’re not too busy to care  
At all 

Praying that we’re not too busy to care  

They’ve walked on fire 
Crawled through hell  
They cannot die in vain  

They’ve walked on fire 
Crawled through hell  
They cannot die in vain  

It’s time to rise  
I’ve been lied to for too long 

Vaecordia

You have the power to make or kill 
They will only follow your will 
You decide for a million souls  

We’ve come so far but yet we fall 
Did all this even matter? 
We know so much  
We’ve seen it all  
This cycle will last forever 

A voice that speaks for all  
You’ll outlaw what you fear 
Powered by centuries of death and devotion  
The foundation of a well-oiled disaster 
For the ones that dare to think 
You have the means to bring them down  

We’ve come so far but yet we fall 
Did all this even matter? 
We know so much  
We’ve seen it all  
This cycle will last forever 

The hope that things will change were crushed too many times 
So long my inner strength 
Madness is on the line  
They have the means to bring us down 

We’ve come so far but yet we fall 
Did all this even matter? 
We know so much  
We’ve seen it all  
This cycle will last forever

The curse 

Resonating from afar  
It crawled into my mind  
I swear to the night  
That I won’t let anything disturb my paradise 

The source of all evil 
Was born from our weakness 
We’ve given away our faith  
For a promise of a fearless end  

We’ve come together to tear them apart  

Our frustration reigns over our steps  
Leading us to a blood-filled regress 

We’ve done it all to ourselves  

It is too late to turn around  
I have gone too far  
But please don’t condemn me 
For choosing a path where I survive 
I wish I could avoid this 
I have become what I despise 

The source of all evil 
Was born from our weakness 
We’ve given away our faith  
For a promise of a fearless end  

We’ve come together to tear them apart  

Our frustration reigns over our steps  
Leading us to a blood-filled regress 
A  blood-filled regress 

Nothing will ever 
Take away our pain  

The source of all evil 
Was born from our weakness 
We’ve given away our faith  
For a promise of a fearless end  

We’ve come together to tear them apart  
Our frustration reigns over our steps  
Leading us to a blood-filled regress 

We’ve done it all to ourselves again  
We have gone too far 
No more quiet nights, no more quiet nights

We’ve done it all to ourselves 

Sacrifice 

I have gone from hate to sorrow 
Tell me what have I become?  
I have failed to stand by the words I have spoken before  

The feeling of loss 
Is slowly consuming me  
I have tried to forget but they are gone  
They can no longer forgive me  

They cannot forgive me 

Ahead of every thought  
Every step of my way  
I see them  
In the dawn of my darkest days  
They never went away  

The feeling of loss 
Is slowly consuming me  
I have tried to forget but they are gone  
They can no longer forgive me 

They cannot forgive me 

Absolution 

I’ve had enough of hearing excuses  
These hollow whispers fading away  
They said that I would be forgiven  
An empty promise of absolution 

Breathless under the silence  
Rejecting my own existence 
I won’t live another day 
There is no higher power  
Not a soul looking over  
Failure is our fate  

Led to the darkest place 
I lost my way 
Fear took away my will to question their intentions 

Chorus 

I see clear 
Only I can save myself  

Breathless under the silence  
rejecting my own existence 
I won’t live another day 
There is no higher power  
not a soul looking over  
failure is our fate  

Chorus  

I see clear 
Only I can save myself  

Chorus
