Glacier - the new single from London Progressive Metal Quintet FRAKTIONS. 

The lyrics of this song are from the perspective of the sun addressing the human race about our collective lack of respect for Mother Earth.

Lyrics: 

Worship me for I am your saviour, guardian and creator. 
Finish me for I am your deceiver, traitor and defeater. 

As prisoners rattle their cages. Their cries fall on deaf ears. 
We all have our bridges to burn. 

Glacier surrender your life to me. Human resolve your strife to be 
Resurrected from the depths of hopeless struggle. 
Release from these chains that you built from blood and stone. 

Reason defeated by predatory instinct, we're victims of our own creation. 
We must obliterate the foundation of our broken society. 
Eyes like fire, the flare, the centre of the sky. A source of eternal energy. 
Eyes like fire, the flare, the centre of the sky. A solar existence. 

Solitude eternal. Evergreen. An abandoned utopia. 
Solitude eternal. Of machine. An abandoned utopia//Imminent collapse.

Sarah’s frustration with feeling sedated by her medication has been building for a long time. This song is symbolic of her transformation when she stops taking her medicine to control her schizophrenia. She ceases to feel subconscious and her mind is revived. At first she enjoys the sensation of being liberated from medication that tranquillises her mind however towards the end of the song she begins to experience aural hallucinations that cause her distress.

Lyrics:

Awaken my soul. Relinquish control.
Abandon morality. Trapped within duality.

The Freedom of the Conscious Mind.
Deceptive voices intertwine.
Eternal nightmares plague and combine.
Oh sweet requiescence; I cast thee aside.
Forced into exile.

Awaken my soul. Relinquish control.
Abandon morality. Trapped within duality.

Floating, it beckons me closer.
Hypnotise me into the unknown.
Allow me to guide you into my world.

Keep your truth inside. Bury it deeper.
Liberated from the empty void.
How I crave lucidity.

Time to let the monsters out.

The concept behind FRAKTIONS new EP 'Anguish' is about the final chapter of a schizophrenic woman's life. Our protagonist, Sarah, suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, meaning she experiences aural hallucinations for most hours of the day if she does not take her prescribed medication. The compositional aim is to transport the listener into the frantic and unpredictable mind of someone with schizophrenia.

Lyrics:
Provoking silhouettes
Dare to question the powerful
Together we defy anger and torment to extinguish the perpetual flames of hate.

As the sirens deafen we evacuate
The chaos and confusion of our sanctuary
Lurking in the darkness, misguided enemies
When we overcome revenge compassion prevails.

So spread your wings and sail towards me again
You exist in the pieces you left behind
Trapped between revival and the abyss

Oblivious to consequence
Abuse to survive
Consume the mind
Manipulate, entice and sedate
Seduction through fear
Deception as a career

Absorbing loss, the impossible battle
Within the carnage of the aftermath
Emerges misdirected hatred
Awakening shadows of violent intent

Detonating the fragile and faint
Some lights shone so bright they tore a hole in the sky
Some minds so hypnotised they tore a hole in the earth
The few do not represent the thousand
