Reincarnate: 10 Year Anniversary

Reincarnate: Reincarnated

[Verse 1]
They weave their tales, the silver-tongued, to calm the crowd with lies,
Promise peace, a tranquil hum, while storm clouds choke the skies.
Their words, a veil, a soothing spell, they pull the strings unseen,
Control’s their game, no shame, no hell — their truth a guillotine.

[Chorus 1]
The ruse is breaking, cracks in their throne,
They swear it’s fine, but the storm’s full-grown.
Teflon hearts, they dodge the blame,
Pointing fingers — it’s all the same.

[Post-Chorus 1]
Words like smoke, they twist, they fade,
No weight, no truth — their debts unpaid.

[Verse 2]
They stand so tall, their shadows cast, a narrative they’ve spun,
The masses sway, their grip holds fast — they think the war’s been won.
But eyes now see, the cracks unfold, their promises wear thin,
The storm they hide will break their hold — their reign built on a sin.

[Bridge]
Caught in lies, they feign surprise, their masks begin to slip,
Certainty’s their own demise, truth breaks their iron grip.
No growth, no doubt, their minds stay shut, delusion chains their soul,
The storm will rise, their reign will rot — no words can make them whole.

[Chorus 2]
The ruse collapses, their throne’s a lie,
They preach of calm, but the end’s too nigh.
Teflon souls, they shift the blame,
Next in line — it’s all their game.

[Post-Chorus 2]
Words like ash, they choke, they fall,
No shield, no plea can stop the call.

[Verse 3]
Their voices crack, the crowd now turns — the veil’s been torn apart,
The storm they swore would never burn ignites within the heart.
Accountable, they’ll face the flame — no charm can save them now,
Their power’s just a fleeting claim, a breaking, fragile vow.

[Chorus 3]
The ruse is shattered, their crown’s in dust,
They sold us peace, but betrayed our trust.
Teflon hearts — their blame won’t stick,
The storm’s alive, it’s coming quick.

[Post-Chorus 3]
Words like ghosts, they fade, they break,
No atonement holds, for truth’s own sake.

[Verse 4]
The blameless rise, their eyes awake — no chains can hold them down,
The storm they feared will overtake, their lies will drown and drown.
Their certainty, a cage they built, no growth beyond their view,
The reckoning will spare no guilt — their time is overdue.

[Outro]
The blameless rise, their eyes awake — no chains can hold them down,
The storm they feared will overtake, their lies will drown and drown.
Their certainty, a cage they built, no growth beyond their view,
The reckoning will spare no guilt — their time is overdue.

The storm’s alive, it shakes the ground, their words — a feeble sound,
No ruse can hide, no peace is found, the truth comes crashing down.
They’re victims of their own design, blind to what they knew,
The blameless rise, the storm’s divine — their reign is broken through.

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I'm letting it go tonight
Waiting in the dark alone
But the voices start to haunt me
Cut me right down to the bone

All I want is to feel again
Without drowning in this pain
Like a blade inside my chest
I'm going insane

I don't see a way out, God
Show me another way
I'm down here on my knees
Nothing left to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm waiting in the dark
Take it away

I'm alone and suffocating
While the world just moves ahead
Will I ever find some peace?
Or am I better off dead?

They all seem to have it made
What the hell went wrong with me?
My beaten soul is breaking
Why won't you set me free?

I don't see a way out, God
Show me another way
I'm down here on my knees
Nothing left to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm waiting in the dark
Take it away

Screaming through the silence
No one hears me fall
Every breath is violence
I've got nothing left at all

Tell me there's a reason
To survive another night

I can't see a way out, God
Maybe there's no way
I'm still here on my knees
But I don't know what to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm dying in the dark
Take it away

Take it away
Take it away
I'm dying in the dark
Take it away

Waiting In The Dark

We write this to express pain that can’t be put into words.

Our songs are resonance—
the sound of everything falling apart.

This is our little corner of the internet.
And to the 271 souls who feel us,
the 20,000 engaged listeners who keep showing up...

We thank you.

We see you.
We love you.
We’re screaming with you.

Her Shadow Died First

VERSE 1
Eyes glide over my skin
Every reflection, a burden within
They think they know, they think they see
But in their gaze, I’m trapped, I can’t be free
Every word, a sharpened blade
Locking me in thoughts that never fade
But deep inside, I know my worth
Far beyond the weight they place on the earth

PRE-CHORUS
Their judgments are invisible chains
Crushing me, causing so much pain
But I’m learning to break these walls
And rise above these silent falls

CHORUS
Welcome to my hell
Let me show you the way
Don’t fall into the dark
I can help if you stay
Words weigh heavy, you’ll see
But your soul will shine, be free
They judge the body, blind to the core
In my skin, you’ll learn to love more

VERSE 2
They laugh, but I don’t care anymore
I’m building walls from all my scars
Every mark, a story untold
And in the shadows, I find myself bold
I’m stronger now than their broken glass
My heart beats, and that’s what will last
The weight of their stares won’t bring me down
I walk forward, wearing my crown

PRE-CHORUS
Their judgments are invisible chains
Crushing me, causing so much pain
But I’m learning to break these walls
And rise above these silent falls

CHORUS
Welcome to my hell
Let me show you the way
Don’t fall into the dark
I can help if you stay
Words weigh heavy, you’ll see
But your soul will shine, be free
They judge the body, blind to the core
In my skin, you’ll learn to love more

BRIDGE
Every scar is a victory
A reminder of my history
I’m more than what you think you see
I’m free, I’m truly me

CHORUS
Welcome to my hell
Let me show you the way
Don’t fall into the dark
I can help if you stay
Words weigh heavy, you’ll see
But your soul will shine, be free
They judge the body, blind to the core
In my skin, you’ll learn to love more

CHORUS
Welcome to my hell
Let me show you the way
Don’t fall into the dark
I can help if you stay
Words weigh heavy, you’ll see
But your soul will shine, be free
They judge the body, blind to the core
In my skin, you’ll learn to love more

05 I Want That For You

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
