I. Remembrance.

Long ago, you said, "I'll be with you forever"
But it was a lie, we grew up together
I was by your side, and you chose to fly (Away)
I remember clearly, your pale face laughing (At death)
I'm haunted by your words, before your last breath...

"Bury me in the river Sorrow
And purge my sins in the water
Let my ashes flood you over
I no longer see the Sun
Hold my hand for one last time...
As I reach the sky"

As for me, I grew up, and still
I can't forget, I sense you here
Fighting with demons all these years, still
Your words awake my long-gone fears ("I'll find ya")
Visions of your laughter break the silence, the silence...

"Bury me in the river Sorrow
And purge my sins in the water
Let my ashes flood you over
I no longer see the Sun
Hold my hand for one last time...
Bury me in the river Sorrow
And purge my sins in the water
Let my ashes flood you over
I no longer see the Sun
Hold my hand for one last time...
Αs I reach the sky"

II. Departure.

"Bury me in the river...Sorrow
I no longer see the Sun... I'm gone"

III. Relief.

Long ago, you said, "I'll be here forever
'Til death do us part, in violent ways"
I count the days when our hearts, will beat as One
Together as One...Together as One...
Together as One...Together as One...

10 The Sky

We're losing ourselves in the search of
Confirmation and acceptance
Playing a role based on a scenario
That someone else wrote
This stranger acts as a mirror
Reflecting the pieces of ourselves
The pieces of ourselves

We walk into the garden of fate
We cry, we laugh, die, and wait
This sober elation of doubt is transformed
Into a lethargy of certainty that we're not alone
We try again

And we find disappointment at every turn
We read again the scenario written by fate for us
To celebrate the corpse of time
As our memories burn...as they burn

We walk into the garden of fate
We cry, we laugh, die, and wait
This sober elation of doubt is transformed
Into a lethargy of certainty that we're not alone

We're losing ourselves in the search of
Confirmation and acceptance
Finding disappointment at every single turn

No one prays for us
We can't heal our wounds all alone
For the blood won't stop
We dive in the seas of decay once and for all
We dive in the seas of decay once and for all
We can't heal these wounds all alone

The blood can't stop.
We drowned in the seas of decay
Now we breathe
We drowned in the seas of decay
Once and for all
Once and for all

09 Seas of Decay

"Fear of commitment, fear of being open-minded
Fear of showing who we really are
Fear to communicate from our souls
Fear of showing our weakness, fear, and deformation
The fear unites us all
In whatever part of the world you come from
Fear is there, always there"

We are all born and living under a regime of fear
We are afraid to change, afraid to decide, afraid to fail
We're seeking guidance and we pray for God to appear
And grant us immortality the moment that our options fail

"Dad, you have to talk to me about fear. The dark scares me
It alters the faces. I wanna see eyes clean, shiny, true. Only true.
And that's my own need. I wanna fix it. I wrote it, I signed it
From now on, I want the truth. I do believe that whoever
Doesn't want your truth, deprives you of your freedom"

We are all born and living under a regime of fear
We are afraid to change, afraid to decide, afraid to fail
We're seeking guidance and we pray for God to appear
And grant us immortality the moment that our options fail
We worship what we fear

We are all born and living under a regime of fear
We are afraid to change, afraid to decide, afraid to fail
We're seeking guidance and we pray for God to appear
And grant us immortality the moment that
We are all born and living under a regime of fear
We are afraid to change, afraid to decide, afraid to fail
We're seeking guidance and we pray for God to appear
The moment that we fail

(We) worship what we fear
(We) worship what we fear

08 Worship What We Fear

Entities are released from Pandora's Box
And they welcome you into the world of Shadows
In this infinite and hostile land
Unknown creatures dance the waltz for damnation
In the bridge of Time, the woman in black awaits

In a soul stripped, shape-shifting demons
Booked a seat in eternal night
Deathly claws pierce your skin
Before the Hands of God drag you into the Light
Drag you into the Light

You wake up sweaty on the bed of Time
Did you imagine it? Was it real?
Non-human shadows flood your room
Eyes wide shut, you're unable to move
Your bewitched mind is calling you to this bridge

In a soul stripped, shape-shifting demons
Booked a seat in eternal night
Deathly claws pierce your skin
Before the Hands of God drag you into the Light
Drag you into the Light
And you pray

"Here I am, lying down to sleep, no nightmare shall plague me
Until I have swum through all the waters that flow upon the earth
And count all the stars that appear in the skies
Please, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, help me
Morae is coming for me...Set me free...Free...Set me free
'Oh God, please don't let me sleep again
She's already here...Here
Take this hell from me"

Entities are released from Pandora's Box
And they welcome you into the world of Shadows
Open your eyes

07 Morae

I liked alcohol. It made me feel warm. And I loved the pills
They erase all my tension and pain
I wanna get lost inside this realm of substances
Soon I took everyone out of my life

I can't live without you, my liquid messiah
With each dose, I see me dying a little more

Sunday, 9 a.m. the day a random stranger found me dead
How can I think I died when I feel so much alive?
I saw them trying to revive me again...It was really strange
I felt I was "elsewhere" but there at the same time

I can't live without you, my liquid messiah
I tried to escape from reality's grave and failed
I can't stop the desire
What's left of me is an addicted slave

I can't live without you, my liquid messiah
I tried to escape from reality's grave and failed
I can't stop the desire
What's left of me is an addicted slave
What's left of me is an addicted slave

06 Liquid Messiah

I've never been able to understand love
I just pretend something I can't express
At least I've done so far, I had to lose my ex to confess
How empty I feel, knowing I repeat the mistakes of the past
Feelings are just visitors, they don't last (Well, she said)

"Would you forgive me for not loving you?
In this land of sorrow, I can't walk through
Will you let my heart fly away?
I wanna wander as a narcissus in vain...narcissus in vain"

How am I supposed to move on?
I can't figure out what's right or wrong
You even took the last piece of this worthless corpse
Happiness is like a river, it's never stable and you feel the shiver
However, I ain't happy at all ('Cause you said)

"Would you forgive me for not loving you?
In this land of sorrow, I can't walk through
Will you let my heart fly away?
I wanna wander as a narcissus…narcissus in vain"

You put the knife of guilt on my chest
This sense of rejection strikes you first...(She said)
"I've never been able to understand love
Still, I'm pretending to understand love
I feel no regret at all, the bigger the lies, the lesser the fall"

You'll fall and wander as narcissus, disgraced
You broke my heart, let her fly away
I don't care, you're nothing to me
I wish you rot as narcissus, disgraced

05 Narcissus in Vain

Depression's coming near like a stray dog
You don't know why you keep feeding this beast
Mutation, this fame will be your downfall
Without a guide, without a leash

Do not live captive of comparisons
You're not the same with everyone
And you're not destined to repeat
The pattern of anyone's life
Be yourself, 'cause life is just too short

What is left of you?
When you reach the shore of insanity
Hope's drowned in the rivers of dead reality
Time stops at night and loneliness leaves its mark
Illuminating your dark

Do not live captive of comparisons
You're not the same with everyone
And you're not destined to repeat
The pattern of anyone's life
Be yourself, 'cause life is just too short
Handler of the mob...you'll rise and fall
Handler of the mob...you'll rise and fall
You'll rise and fall

Zero personality is controlled with predictable behavior
You get lost in thoughts:
"What have I achieved? Is there any purpose in my life?
Everyone's progressing and I'm staying behind
Seeking happiness in the addictive social media
Where my followers feed my ego
Am I prepared to change? To change"

Do not live captive of comparisons
You're not the same with everyone
And you're not destined to repeat
The pattern of anyone's life
Be yourself, 'cause life is just too short
Handler of the mob
You'll rise and fall...you'll rise and fall

04 Handler of the Mob

Somewhere there, you grew up dreaming to walk
In the footsteps of outworn idols but for you
Things were different...'cause

This life you've been told to wait there's no longer
Became a trash religion where inertia is the holy norm
And reality is a simulation
You seek for answers on a pseudo-code

And you fall into the endless descent of despair
There's no reason to flee
Your god will protect you…but

This life you've been told to wait there's no longer
Became a trash religion where inertia is the holy norm
And reality is a simulation
You're full of questions in a dying world

"We should live two lives, one is not enough
The first one shall be the rehearsal
The test to take notes of all our mistakes
Then we would live the second life, the normal one
'Cause we are our mistakes"
'Cause we are our mistakes

You seek redemption between the Sun and the stars
Where time won't matter
Where life will be turned to slumber

This life you've been told to wait is still here
The answers are the bait, the realization that you are
The creator of your own destruction

"It is reported that in the mid-1980s many homeless and orphans
were abducted and subjected to experiments on mind-control and teleportation. Sounds crazy. And most likely it is.
But survivors say they have evidence"

Hidden from prying eyes deep inside the mountain
Lies the invisible chamber, a portal beyond time
With windows pale like death, shadows smile behind the curtain
Mood alteration radar's on, thought control won't take long

Crossing an endless downward spiral, in silence
The scientist saw his reflection in the creature's eyes
Reversing the Creation turned his joy into sadness
A hybrid was born inside the fortress of Montauk

Children were forced against their will
Tied in beds, promises were fulfilled
They can't see the light of the world that's left behind
The eyes of innocence were deceived
Kidnapped, tortured, and killed
In rooms, where blood pours like rain, only tears remain

Crossing an endless downward spiral, in silence
The creature saw its reflection in its creator's eyes
Man created God in the chambers of madness
Red rain falls, burning the fortress of Montauk
Red rain's burning

Feeble lies, desperate cries, drowned tears at nights
Forgotten souls and minds stay alive where Death resides

One wrong decision and nothing was the same anymore
The scientist saw his unhuman eyes in the mirror
The monster was himself...The monster was himself

02 The Fortress of Montauk

Tornado with black net tights, knife hidden in stockings
I'm haunted by a pair of dangerous eyes
Red lips like guilty delights, black long hair, high heels
She torments my nights...No more!

I gave you tomorrow and you ran away...away from me
I'll give ya today brimstone and fire
There's no place for ya to hide

A taste of gin on her kiss, she's a ten-dollar whore
The priestess of all kinds of sin
Her perfume gushed like a fountain on my skin
Her thighs a wet shore to explore...I'm in!

I gave you tomorrow and you ran away...away from me
I'll give ya today brimstone and fire
There's no place for ya to hide...no place to hide
I'll give ya...brimstone and fire

I gave you tomorrow and you ran away...away from me
I'll give ya today brimstone and fire
There's no place for ya to hide
I'll give ya today brimstone and fire
Sweet fire
Sweet fire
Burn!

Baby, you learn to respect as your beauty's fading
Your body is aging and deactivated

Neptune is Dead is a heavy rock, metal 'n' roll band from Thessaloniki, Greece, officially formed in April 2018. The band used to play together for a short time back in 2013, making their first live appearance, at a local cover bands event on the "Fix in Art" Music Stage. After a long period of hiatus, they performed live in local scenes of the city as well as at the Thessaloniki Anti-Racism Festival. In 2019 and almost 2 years after they started the recording process, in parallel with a global quarantine and in the midst of many difficulties, on February 21, 2021, they released their self-funded debut album "Chronos". A blending of sounds and influences, with heavy and groovy guitars and with an emphasis on melody, "Chronos" was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Infected Studios in Thessaloniki & Livadeia by George Stournaras. The album cover is an original oil painting by Natalia T. while the rest of the album artwork was designed by Manthos Stergiou (Manster Design). The band decided to release the album in digital and physical format (limited copies of 300 beautiful 4panel Digipack CDs including a 12-page booklet) on various popular platforms (Bandcamp, Spotify, etc) until everyone is all safe and enjoys the album live!
 
The group members are:
Frank Lampadaropoulos – Vocals
George Ouzounoudis – Guitars / Backing vocals
Thanos Ouzounoudis – Guitars
Manos Tzinieris – Bass / Backing vocals
