New Wilderness Demo (LANDR Remaster)

Amaranthine

There comes a time in everyone's life
When we start to realize
Our own personal blight

How do we take the pain
And make it entertain
Day after day we grit our teeth
And go on
Though still we wallow in pain
Get a little breather but it doesn't last
It's not enough to sate the thirst at all
It's like a poison ice in my veins
Let it out, it wants more
It makes me restore
Some peace of mind for a while ‘cause

I'm just trying to find some closure
What do you expect me to say?
I'm just trying to find some closure
Gotta’ break away before I go insane

What is it with these words
And the way they work so well to heal
When I say ‘em
They can make me feel satisfaction
From the way they flow
Takin' me away from feelin' low
Thinkin' 'bout the words streamin' over
But I don't know what's worse
A hearse or this curse
This Blight of Imagination

Oh, what are we doing?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go now?
Going through the motions
It's taking over
I can't resist


Blight
Give me a kiss..
I lust for the visions you give
Don't be so shy, come on in
I'll be a slave for this sin

This is what
I have become
I'm a man on fire
Getting hotter
Primed and ready
I'm a loaded gun
Writing my desires
Send them through the wires
Feel my burdens getting lighter
All so someone hurting somewhere
Mesmerized and deep in water
Hopefully will keep afloat
And maybe even have fun

Oh all we are doing
Is just repeating year after year
We keep on floating
Feeling and hoping
Still we get old and deny the abyss

I'm just trying to find some closure
What do you expect me to say?
I'm just trying to find some closure
Gotta’ break away before I go insane

Life is pain
Pain hurts
Known at birth
Passed up happiness
Wound up in the void
This

Blight!
Fuck this curse
It burnt away life within my heart
With vicious poison they sedated
Pride
This is the root of a jaded soul

This is how innocence dies on earth
This is my poisoned mind
Woah now this is
Evil frozen heart
Blight

I.. can't take this anymore
I.. just want to end it all
I.. can't stop crying every night
I.. don't want life to pass me by
I.. see life flash before my eyes
I wish I didn't have to say goodbye

I still have a chance
To make up for lost time
I can't lose you
I can't sleep at night
Knowing you will go and I
Will stay behind

I still have a chance
To make up for lost time

Blight Of Imagination

Spiraling

Those were the good ole' days
Red eye and plenty of bills to pay
Sheriff callin' on them cowboys
When I get enough money I'll escape to mars

We are restless
Never wanna feel helpless
We won't let anything stop us

We are living on the edge
Stuck in our own goddamn heads
Ohohohohoh we are coming back to earth

In our dreams we fly like gods
Long to shoot through space and see the stars
Just to feel the amber waves of stellar healing

Hunting bounty for a chump change
Imagine the devil, and he may show his face
System rotten from top to bottom
Maybe we gotta make a change

We are reckless
Never wanna feel helpless
We won't let anything stop us

What the hell are we waiting for
Just know that
We are coming back to earth

In our dreams we fly like gods
Long to shoot through space and see the stars
Just to feel the amber waves of stellar healing

Stellar

Ha! Thought this would be a challenge
Suspect resisted arrest
Until we shot him
Apparently not

Just when tradition
Lost it's justice system
When it's a crime to know
When it's written official
We'd just make you wrong with

Law!
Make you wrong with law

Maybe
If we pay them
We could be

Gone!
Running from the law

Baby
We can make it
Can't we escape it?
We'll be livin' life in paradise
Sunshine on our smiling faces

Well, bring the hook
Leave the message for the people
In the streets
Where's your mom?
In front of heaven
Waiting 'till I come break down the gates
Whoaohaohaoah

Do you know what you really want?
When you
Don't care at all if we're going far

This day do what you really want
Sounds like you need some desire
Please just try and fight the feeling to sigh

Say what you mean, not what you claim
We could change the unnecessary
'Cause it's taking over
Chase what you need, not what you crave
We could be revolutionary
Instead of getting slower

Do you know where you need to go?
When you tend to wind up at a show?
Let's clear our heads and take a shot

'Cause we just make you want it
Make you want it all

Thoughtcrime

Made myself up from nothing
I'm going to risk it all
But as they say
Pride comes before the fall

Inside it calls
Sun's gone south
Burns to hold the lie

Least we know
How he broke
Shock wore him thin
And caused it
Cause within

The cost is our life
Sacrifice
Why we try
For any price
For what we love
I'd gladly pay up

The condescension
The rage we felt all along
Was so far beneath him
He can see it
You have weakness
When you feel less for what we love

I wanna call out
The vain, disgraceful,
Egotistic fakes
And steal their crown
And when I'm done I'll melt it down
And pass the pieces out to everyone

And when I call out
The vain, disgraceful,
Egotistic fakes
I'll steal their crown
'Cause playing tough is not enough
And you can't own up
To what you lack yourself

Paint a story
Create a chord we find
Describes the way we feel inside
It's makin' me reminisce on those old songs
which used to fend off the blues
We got something you lost
Isn't wishing for better exhausting?
For every thought, memory brought
Fear with
Feeling good, feeling sad
Feeling like I hadn't no other chance
That I could live
Feelin' like this

'Cause within the cost is our life
Sacrifice
Why we try
For any price
For what we love
I'd gladly pay up

For What We Love

Reaching out to a rising sun
The wind keeps blowing in paradise
We won't rest until the war is won
We have no choice

All I ever wanted
Was to see you rise in place of us
Innocent to battle
And war

It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you hit the ground
It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you make a sound

Ahhhhh!

There will be
No remorse for the weak
You speak of honor
But drink your brother's blood like water
Drown!
Barbarian scum!

It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you hit the ground
It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you make a sound

Ahhhhh!

I can't believe
You did this to me
Our dignity burnt to ash again
Can't you see?
You did this to me?
Your cruelty left us nothing


So this is war?
I can't believe you're gone
You left me all alone
Don't leave me

Ooo, believe me
I'm scarred and I'm broken
I'm longing
For an end to war

Now listen airmen
Don't be mistaken
We can't be discovered
In the sky
Now listen to my words
"Let fly" will be the call sign

Sit down on a roller coaster ride
Just sit back and get ready
For the time of your life
This one's for our nation's pride
Ooo, yeah, we know, so what?
Soon they'll be dead
And gone
Down it goes
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you hit the ground
It's coming now
The wave before the blast
You'll be dead before you make a sound

Sound!
You'll be dead before you make a sound
There will be no remorse for the weak
You'll be like puppets on strings
In the impending fallout

Noone survives
Today we conquer or be killed
Tonight we kiss goodbye a city full of youth

All I ever wanted
Was to see you rise in place of us
Innocent to battle
And war

I can't believe
You did this to me
Our dignity burnt to ash again
Can't you see?
You did this to me?
Your cruelty left us nothing

Archaic Revival

Finally, the show is starting
We're operational
Sit back, the magnificent
Soon will be coming up for air
We will once again rise from the depths
It's not for me to say
Whether they are sane or tame

To a standing crowd
We cry out
Told to entertain the notion
"We play with fire"
Yet never been more cold

If breaking up a family
For slavery is worth it
Maybe we
Rule the earth and don't deserve it

Our existence has consisted
Of the mission to control
And still we claim
That we're the only ones to have a soul
And there are some who will try to use you
Only to cast you in the dirt
Sour men who wish they owned the world

With nothing else but
Fangs and fins
I can't deny that I
Wouldn't kill them
Like some kind of child, oo
Raised in prison
Like some kind of pride it's
Sink or swim

Could you even imagine
A loved one
Never coming
Home
And never know
If they're alive
Ain't nothin' worse

Haven't you ever wondered
Why we close our eyes to the blood in the water?
Humanity sees in black and white but can't see

Our existence has consisted
Of the mission to control
And still we claim
That we're the only ones who have a soul
And there are some who will try to use you
Only to cast you in the dirt
Sour men who wish they owned the world

Finally, the show is starting
We're operational
Sit back, the magnificent
Soon will be coming up for air
We will once again rise from the depths
It's not for me to say
Whether they are sane or tame

With nothing else but
Fangs and fins
I can't deny that I
Wouldn't kill them
Like some kind of child, oo
Raised in prison
Like some kind of pride it's
Sink or swim

Up For Air

Bewilderedness

What cruel desire
Is tempting me?
A spotless mind
What comes and brings you alive?
Add 'er up and count the days
How many words? Oh that's too bad...
Fuck me! Computing errors shutting me down

Loving to be right all the time
And still I'm frequently reminded
I'm logically dry
When my cynical thoughts
Keep leaking
Can't stop the bleeding

Lately nobody talks with honesty
It's all a facade
Fucked up facade!
Nobody really cares 'bout what you think
Wait for the applause
Hollow applause
Woah, hollow applause

We all hope to live and breathe
Growing old to grow our seeds
Eventually we realize
The ones we love
One day will leave
Can't you see?

Time flies by so fast
We're oblivious to all outside needs
When all I ever wanted
Was to be living life again
Time flies by so fast
We're oblivious, and it makes us happy
And all I ever wanted
Was to be living life again
Like I belonged again

Seven billion seperate realities
Existing at once
Could they all be false?
Maybe the way we've been taught is
Fundamentally flawed
Stain of God
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why can't we all see
We talk the walk of zombies? Yes sir
Meanwhile, I'll drink away my time with you

Maybe the way we've been taught is
Fundamentally flawed
Maybe it's God

Lately nobody talks with honesty
It's all a facade
Fucked up facade!
Nobody really cares 'bout what you think
Wait for the applause
Hollow applause
Woah, hollow applause

I see the gears
Turn in your head
Grinding away at the thought of your death
Light the fires, fall in formation or be damned!

Once
Twice
Strike with favor divine!
We are transient
Valfather, soon I will be by your side
(Honor will never die)

Facade

You'd be amazed
The things you'd find
In the maze of your mind

Blind, with scars
Bearing weight

Lost inside
The hands we fight with
Foil our pride
It's so hysterical
I wear gilded plate
Never mind (that)
My bastion of hate still grows

You try so hard to be desired
But you can't fight it
You're a liar
You try so hard to start the fire
But you can't hide it
You're all dried up
Dead and gone!

Lately, I've been sinking so low
Forsaking
Save me, I am breaking apart
My soul, it's out of control

Fuck this, I won't let it go!
I have been dethroned by children
And rash decisions...
You ungrateful bastards!

Look what you have wrought
Within nothing changes
No!

Lost inside
The hands we fight with
Foil our pride
It's so hysterical
I wear gilded plate
Never mind (that)
My bastion of hate still grows

You'd be amazed
The things you'd find
In the maze of your mind

Don't set ablaze
What you can't fight
Just look behind your eyes

You try so hard to be desired
But you can't fight it
You're a liar
You try so hard to start the fire
But you can't hide it
You're all dried up
Dead and gone!

Lately, I've been sinking so low
Forsaking
Save me, I am breaking apart
My soul, it's out of control

Bastion

Once upon a life
There was war and strife
It was before your time
Memory serves me right
(Memory serves me right)

Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again
Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again

Rain is falling down
Shut it man, listen to this
Stains haven't left the ground
For God I haven't felt this way in so long

Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again
Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again

Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again
Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again

Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again
Oh, how I thought I had figured out
That as long as we won the war
My broken heart could be found again

Strife

Rise up!
This is the start of something new
This is the pursuit of discovery

Our weapons forced against our enemies
Will bring us to ruin
Whatever we're looking forward to

Just keep living
Just for the thrill of existing
Whatever we're chasing
Whatever we're looking forward to

Like a wild tigress
A dying breed of survivors
Willing to draw first blood
We're just dying to
We're dying to keep leading on
And on and on
On and on, far beyond

...So come along

Erase these vermin
They challenge my reign
You think you're better?
Say it to my face!

This isn't over!
This is just a new beginning
We've yet to reach the peak
Our new generation is coming

Get ready for another great golden age
We've found New Wilderness
After all, after it all
Get ready for another great golden age
We've reached New Wilderness
After all, after it all

Just keep living
Just for the thrill of existing
Whatever we're chasing
Whatever we're looking forward to

Like a wild tigress
A dying breed of survivors
Willing to draw first blood
New weapons forced
New weapons forced against the world
The love is gone
The respect, respect is gone

Reliant on
Processed headlines of rancid distraction
I'm gonna' cut it off
I'm gonna’ cut it off
The placenta's film
Nursing the tabloid rot

Where are the willing adventurers?
Where are the bloody noses?
The bruised and battered ribs,
Frostbitten lips, willingly frozen?
Where are the willing adventurers?
Where are the bloody noses?
The bruised and battered ribs,
Frostbitten lips, willingly frozen?

The adventurers’ bloody noses

New Wilderness

I once was asked the question:
Why are you so cynical?
I laughed saying I wasn't
It’s just I can't get enough
I feel I have to be the best of us
Whispering is not my thing
‘Cause I've been stuck
In hell on earth

Rip it up with disgust
Self-destruct, just for fun
But it's alright

Some people are doubting
Without even hearing a plan
Conceited, pre-judging
They just want to see you fail

Some people are lazy
Need leaders to think for them
Believe only instinct
Deep thinking will make them drown

Let's join together
And show the world
We won't take it lying down
Vengeance
Will taste so sweet
When we
Show them we've made it

Yeah
Taste so sweet...
Taste so sweet

Moving forward
To find solid ground
So we could stand
It took not long in life for
All I've built to come crashing down


From up so high
Held tightly in my hands
Now my hopes are
Shattered fragments in the sand
Sometimes, someone will come

Rip it up, grind to dust
All you've done, just for fun
But it's all fine

Some people are doubting
Without even hearing a plan
Conceited, pre-judging
They just want to see you fail

Some people are lazy
Need leaders to think for them
Believe only instinct
Deep thinking will make them drown

Let's join together
And show the world
We won't take it lying down
Vengeance
Will taste so sweet
When we
Show them we've made it

No I won't give up
No I won’t give in
No I won’t let them
No I won’t give up

For so long
I felt so broken
Felt like a stranger
It felt so hopeless
But now as I look up and see
All these stars
They're telling me

Ooo, there's nothing left to lose
Don't be afraid
We can change our ways
Fear can't hold me back anymore
For I have been reborn

Silently waiting
For the day I can say
I've been vindicated

Let's join together
And take over
We can make life worth living
We all could feel the thrill of life again
I wanna’ feel my beating heart again

Let's join together
And take over
We can make life worth living
We all could feel the thrill of life again
I wanna’ feel my beating heart again

Rip it up with disgust
Self-destruct, just for fun
But it's alright

Some people are doubting
Without even hearing a plan
Conceited, pre-judging
They just want to see you fail

Some people are lazy
Need leaders to think for them
Believe only instinct
Deep thinking will make them drown
Drown

They just want to see you fail
They just want to see you fail
They just want to see you fail
They just want to see you fail
They just want to see you...

Self-Destruct

Be careful when you try to find
Where your soul resides
The things you find might reveal what you hide
From yourself in the mirror

Oh, did I hit
A little too close to the heart of it?
Oh, I think I did
Just a little bit
Don't you know the feeling?

Whoa, call the fox its name
That's the only way
It's just the way it goes
Well, it's the only way
The only way we know
It's the only way we know
Emotions guiding us, let it go
Let it go

Let it show
When we cannot belong
We part from the charm we once held
We know
I can't be someone else
But at least I can be myself

We can't relax
We can't sit back
And watch it all dissolve
Explode in our face
Fuck that!

Be careful when you try to find
Where your soul resides
The things you find might reveal what you hide
From yourself in the mirror

Know this
How you live is your business
I can't tell you what to do with it
Before the end will come
Just don't be afraid to die
And you'll feel no pain
Just a wish that you could start again
For all the lows and highs
Have no regret, just sing out
And show the world you're alive
And don't be afraid to die
Don't be afraid to die
Just don't be afraid to die

Whoa, call the fox its name
That's the only way
It's just the way it goes
Well, it's the only way
The only way we know
It's the only way we know
Emotions guiding us, let it go
Let it go

Let it show
When we cannot belong
We part from the charm we once held
We know
I can't be someone else
But at least I can be myself

We can't relax
We can't sit back
And watch it all dissolve
Explode in our face
Fuck that!

Esper Voyage

As in all things, it starts with me (drifting)
My body's floating in the sea
Waves are crashing down
As I break apart
Land is all but memory

We wash ashore alone
We know not how hard the journey
We will take them on and won't
Believe what they're saying

We're tired of all the lies they've told us
For once, just be honest
Too late, it's led our hearts to be ripped apart
Oh, all for the pawns of prophets

We're tired of all the lies they've said
We'd rather be dead than believe
Another fucking word you've got to say
Oh yeah

For what have we been silent
Let's defy them
Oh, it serves to be compliant
But man, you can't be a silent dog
For what have we been silent
Let's defy them
Ooo, fed fuel to feed the riots
Until the tyrant took out our claws

My lord
My fall

Once again it seems I've done nothing (nothing)
My thoughts are caught up in the stream
Day will come again
As I wake at dawn
And though the feelings gone
I won't give in while I can bleed

In the rift of clarity
You will find a harmony
Through an ocean of deceit
You will find your harmony, yeah

We're gonna' fall tonight
