The virtue of life is taken from me.
Doom is my fate, it’s dragging me down,
Until I crawl, I crawl.
My sickness commands me, lusting for more.
When time is nigh, my cry of despair breaks the silence:
SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME.
I am lost in a dream as I’m falling.
Down on my knees (down on my knees),
sore and I'm weak (sore and I’m weak),
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek.
Winter unfolds (winter unfolds),
coldness it holds (coldness it holds)
Heralds the end of my future untold.
Don't forsake me, don't you tell me my deeds were in vain.
If this is my fate at last, who will tell of a heroic past?
Deceit and betrayal, I’m wandering alone
Am I bound to life and death?
Bound to this mortal shell?
All of its glory condemned to decay.
My memories leave such bitter taste as I yell:
SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME.
The tyrant whispers to me as I’m sinking.
Down on my knees, sore and I'm weak,
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek.
Winter unfolds, coldness it holds
Heralds the end of my future untold.
Don't forsake me, don't you tell me my deeds were in vain.
If this is my fate at last, who will tell of a heroic past?
Blazing eyes, no disguise
Feeble minds fall behind
Endless cries, sweet demise
I will stand my ground
I will fight
Fight for my life
I long to remain, I long to be freed, I reach out my hand to the ungodly seed.
All that I have I will give to be taken, all that I love I will leave to be shaken.
Appear before me upon the invocation; gift me with power, life and liberation.
Mine shall be yours, you shall command me.
My silenced pride shall rise up once more.
I am the nightfall, I am the storm.
I am the ashes, I am the soil.
I am decay, I am the fall.
I am misery, I am pain.
SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME.
Down on my knees, I’m sore and I'm weak,
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek.
Winter unfolds, coldness it holds
Heralds the end of my future untold.
Don't forsake me, don't you tell me my deeds were in vain.
If this is my fate at last, who will tell of a heroic past?
Don't forsake me, don't you tell me my deeds were in vain.
If this is my fate at last, who will tell of a heroic past?
Who will tell?

Oath Taker

You’ve been abandoned, deceived and betrayed.
Misanthropy forced you back into the shade.
I have the cure, I’m offering you life.
Break your human shackles and you shall thrive.
You were born a free man, free you shall remain.
Give yourself to me, no more fear, no more pain.
Rise again, rise above all of humankind.
Don’t you want to live forever?
Give in to the pull of your fate.
Raise your battle cry, can’t you see the end is nigh?
For life in all its glory, make your oath to me.
Your mind’s been poisoned by
Your mind’s been poisoned
Your mind’s been poisoned by jealousy and greed,
Addled your wit by a fallacious creed.
You fell victim to corruption,
Its bitter taste tainting the air.
Rise again, rise above all of humankind.
Don’t you want to live forever?
Give in to the pull of your fate.
Raise your battle cry, can’t you see the end is nigh?
For life in all its glory, make your oath to me.
Why are you hesitant?
Don’t be a fool, they don’t respect you, you mean nothing to them.
You can be the law, the judge, the outrage.
Unleash your oppressed desire and fill the void you feel within.
[Aah-aah-aah]
Trust me, absorb me and live through me.
I can rekindle the flame in your heart, once and for all.
Trust me, absorb me and live through me.
I can rekindle the flame in your heart, once and for all.
Become one with me, [aah]
Rise again, rise above all of humankind.
Don’t you want to live forever?
Give in to the pull of your fate.
Raise your battle cry, can’t you see the end is nigh?
For life in all its glory, make your oath to me.

You can’t escape from me
Cause you are all I see.
When shadows fill the land,
You kneel at my command.
You’re consumed by hypocrisy
In a crippling world of lies
You will pay with your own demise.
I feel so alive,
I can feel my blood ignite.
When I come undone,
You will fall one by one.
Now I can smell your fear,
Your end is drawing near.
Your voidness makes me whole,
I regain the control.
I break you up, I pull you down,
Raze you to the ground,
In your anguish, I’m reborn.
In your anguish, I’m reborn.
I feel so alive,
I can feel my blood ignite.
When I come undone,
You will fall one …
Boundless is my reign,
Your life was lived in vain.
I will dominate.
I’m the master of your fate.
You feed me with your lies.
In your vanity, you defy me.
I am a giant crushing you in my hand.
I am the hunter, from below I ascend.
No more cries
No more vile lies.
Can you see?
Can you feel me?
Only I rule you.
I feel so alive,
I can feel my blood ignite.
When I come undone,
You will fall one …
Boundless is my reign,
Your life was lived in vain.
I will dominate.
I’m the master of your fate.

Chimera

Waking to see the sun rise darker yet again.
Casting light on my path.
Must not stray, must obey.
Am I among the righteous in this world?
Am I to blame for the tears that are flowing into the flame?
Am I among the righteous in this world?
Am I to blame for the tears that are flowing into the flame?
Rising, only to fall again.
In the dark, empty faces is all I see.
How far is too far? How late is too late?
You give your life for mine.
Am I among the righteous in this world?
Am I to blame for the tears that are flowing into the flame?
Am I among the righteous in this world?
Am I to blame for the tears that are flowing into the flame?
Is it all just a perfect illusion?
I can never ever return.
All these memories, they make me so weary.
How I’m longing to be free.
Is it all just a perfect illusion?
I can never ever return.
For all there is, there can never be.
Giving in, let my heart break.
I’d give my life for one moment in time.
Just one moment to be free.

Norchestrion: a song for the end
by Need
supported by 11 fans who also own “HYBRIS”
An impressive work of progressive metal, seems initially to be taken out of the best moments of the genre’s behemoths (Fates Warning, Dream Theater). However, with enough distinction and personality, featuring Greek folk elements here and there, the musicianship mastery of the band members make tracks like Nemmortal, Norchestrion and Circadian, bright jewels for the genre and for metal in general. A must have album!!!

Incredible prog-metal! Wow, these guys are the real deal! Part Dream Theater, part Haken, hell even part Genesis (okay, maybe that's just me.) I'm so excited to see the future for this band...a must own for modern prog lovers!
