Title: Into the Unknown
Album: The Edge of Existence
Music by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1:
Here I stand
At the edge of existence
Where time has ceased to exist
Erratic echoes
From a time long past
Now there's no way back
 
On the verge
Of the impregnable eternity
A path we all must walk
Break the balance
Face your fears
Or nothing will remain
 
Chorus: 
Into the unknown
Worlds shall collide
What else remains
When all hope has died?
 
Verse 2: 
Blurring lines
Of a depicted reality
The face of nothingness
Circle completes
In the eleventh hour
And every truth is revealed
 
Chorus: 
Into the unknown
Worlds shall collide
What else remains
When all hope has died?
 
Verse 3: 
The fabric of space in dissolution
Projected disarray
The ultimate enigma
Is just one step away
 
Images flash before my eyes
As if in trance
Come to terms with futility
And accept my own insignificance
 
Chorus: 
Into the unknown
Worlds shall collide
What else remains
When all hope has died?
 
Into the unknown
Moments divide
Into the unknown
All hope has died!

Paranorm is a thrash metal band based in Uppsala, Sweden. They have played together since 2008, released a demo (Demo 2010) and an EP (Pandemonium's Rise, 2011) independently, and played numerous shows around Sweden. They aim to create a melodic and progressive form of thrash metal, while still retaining the power and aggression that is the foundation of the genre. Instead of repeating what bands did 25 years ago, they seek to build upon that formula, creating something new and refreshing.

Paranorm have just completed their second EP, titled The Edge of Existence, and released it on February 11, 2014. The band is currently searching for a label that shares the same vision as the band to help promote the release and bring the band to new heights.

Title: Second Assault
Album: The Edge of Existence
Music by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1:
Far too long have I dwelt in the past
Neglecting the things to come
Never straying out of my comfort zone
Fearing what I would become
 
No more will I sit idly and wait
I'm going in head first
Now is the time to reclaim what's forgotten
Let the seeds of a new day burst
 
Pre-Chorus:
Let go at last
Of the ghosts from the past
Spectres within absolved
 
The only way back 
Is another attack
So prepare for the second assault
 
Chorus: 
Second assault!
Break free of the things you fear
Second assault!
The new era is here
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
 
Verse 2:
I still remember the spirit of bygone days
But also the faults and flaws
Reconquer the past to forge a new future
Relight the fire that once was
 
Erase the boundaries of imagination
Things never before seen or heard
Form a path to a new golden era
Where 'impossible' is but a word
 
Pre-Chorus:
Let go at last
Of the ghosts from the past
Spectres within absolved
 
The only way back
Is another attack
So prepare for the second assault
 
Chorus:
Second assault!
Break free of the things you fear
Second assault!
My mind is finally clear
Second assault!
Second assault!

Title: Sunstorm
Album: The Edge of Existence
Music by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1: 
There is a hidden maze
Built by a fabric of words
Tread lightly through this labyrinth
Where thoughts and meanings diverge
 
When faced with the choice between sense and sentiment
Yourself you will betray
Weakness of the human nature
Innocence long passed away
 
Chorus: 
This earth is cloaked in a veil of disguise
Information is vital, yet ignorance bliss
Without answers we persist
An outline disorder of society
Distracting our minds from what really could be
A storm on the sun, or a shard of your soul
Forever encapsuled in time
 
Verse 2: 
There is a darkening veil
Covering our eyes
Sealed away behind closed doors
The forbidden answer lies
 
The crystal castles carefully built
Could in a moment fall apart
Revealing thus the source of evil
In every human heart
 
Chorus: 
This earth is cloaked in a veil of disguise
Information is vital, yet ignorance bliss
Without answers we persist
An outline disorder of society
Distracting our minds from what really could be
A storm on the sun, or a shard of your soul
Forever encapsuled in time
 
Verse 3: 
Independent thought a crime
Discordant mental streams
In this clouded paradigm
Nothing is what it seems
 
Verse 4: 
The things that we are led to believe
Are just a fraction of what we could perceive
Reality rendered obsolete
The illusion is complete
 
Chorus: 
This world is cloaked in a veil of disguise
Information is vital, yet ignorance bliss
Without answers we persist
An outline disorder of society
Distracting our minds from what really could be
A storm on the sun, or a shard of your soul
Forever encapsuled in time
Forever encapsuled in time!

Title: Desolate Worlds
Album: The Edge of Existence
Music by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1:
On a field of forgotten dreams
Where winds of regret have blown
In a sea of subdued thoughts
Here I wander alone
 
Recurring visions of another world
Now long left behind
Mirror image dimension
Where past and future collide
 
I have watched but haven't seen
The wastelands before my eyes
Barren soil of an empty planet
Under mercurial skies
 
Chorus:
Stars glowing
Raven black
Swallowed in dark energy
 
Echoes drowning
In the sea of time
Nothing could ever escape
 
Ephemeral existence
Lost in contemplation
Lethargic limbs of a racing mind
Wandering desolate worlds
 
Verse 2:
The graying rays of a dying sun
Paint a monochrome pastel
Deep in the subconscious mind
Where ghosts of the past still dwell
 
Pulled by waves of disillusion
Surge of the undertow
Still I search for future memories
Hunted by my own shadow
 
Collect the pieces of history
Before they fade away
Gather the fragments of what used to be
The memory they portray
 
Chorus:
Ephemeral existence
Lost in contemplation
Lethargic limbs of a racing mind
Wandering desolate worlds
 
Skies glowing
Raven black
Swallowed in dark energy
 
Echoes drowning
In the sea of time
Nothing could ever escape
 
Verse 3:
A new day dawns on the distant wasteland
Where elusive memories flew
Retrace the steps that I once walked
To reach somewhere new
 
Travel through this transience with
A clear state of mind
Absurd to think one cannot control
A fate that's yet undefined
 
Chorus:
Ephemeral existence
Lost in contemplation
Lethargic limbs of a racing mind
Wandering desolate worlds
 
Stars glowing
Raven black
Swallowed in dark energy
 
Echoes drowning
In the sea of time
Nothing could ever escape
 
Nothing will ever escape
 
Distant dimensions
Desolate worlds

Desolate Worlds

Aggressive Inhibitions

Title: Predators of Peace
Album: Pandemonium's Rise
Music by: Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren

Verse 1:
Predators of peace
A system dependant on war
Exploiters of conflict
Lusting for control
A greedy cause
Disguised as good will
Painting a facade
Deception your ultimate thrill

Pre-chorus:
Submission through blackmail
Control by illusion

Chorus:
National manipulator
Spreading influence
Dividing oppressor
Gaining governance

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

Verse 2:
Firing first, thinking after
Tomorrows problems not your own
Oblivious to consequence
Your ignorance cannot be condoned

Pre-chorus:
Submission through blackmail
Control by illusion

Chorus:
National manipulator
Spreading influence
Dividing oppressor
Gaining governance

Verse 3:
Total dominance not enough
Continuing power-abuse
Everyone will turn on you
You'll find yourself a recluse

Verse 4:
Domination won't last long
You're digging your own grave
Better start counting your days
For I won't be this government's slave!

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

Predators of Peace

Title: Shattered Future Tense
Album: Pandemonium's Rise
Music by: Karl Askebro/Marcus Blom/Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1:
Born in an age when man hates nature
Conscience overcome by greed
One of a species determined to lay waste
On dying earth we feed
 
Caught in man's short sighted ways
Unwilling to accept change
Torn by our own arrogance
A race that's gone deranged
 
Chorus: 
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
 
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?
 
Verse 2:
Alive in a world, dark by our misdeeds
Where we wander in our sleep
Left in a spiral of destruction
On a planet, abused and mistreated
 
Died in an age when time ceased to exist
Gaia's face grows cold
Felt her twist in torment
As the last resistance broke
 
Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?
 
[Instrumental]
 
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
 
[Verse 3]
For death by his own hand
Humanity is marked
Of this global genocide
Each man plays a part
 
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
 
Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?

Shattered Future Tense

Title: Strike Hard, Strike Fast
Album: Pandemonium's Rise
Music by: Marcus Blom/Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Marcus Blom/Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren

Verse 1:
Months and years have passed me by
Been waiting far too long
Patiently preparing, biding my time
This time things can't go wrong
Deep inside a feeling stirs
The moment is at hand
Obsessively driven by vengeance and fear
It's time to make a stand

Chorus:
Strike hard!
Strike, fast!

Verse 2:
Flickering lights before your eyes
Ears ringing with noise
Mayhem piercing through your brain
You're left without a choice
Sudden silence, quick release
The calm before the storm
Catch your breath before it's gone
And thrash to Paranorm!

Chorus:
Strike hard!
Strike, fast!

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

Strike Hard, Strike Fast

Title: The Indoctrinated
Album: Pandemonium's Rise
Music by: Karl Askebro/Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen
 
Verse 1:
Pointless virtues,
Urged by white-clad men
Lying and cheating
Over and over again
Hollow promises
False sense of safety
Trusting a god
To lead you to your destiny
 
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination, 
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone
 
Verse 2:
Ancient writings
Designed to lead astray
Ambiguous fables
Misread along the way
Declared divinity
Determined for political gain
Two-faced cross
Twisting the truth to sustain
 
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination, 
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone
 
[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]
 
Verse 3:
Manipulating bastards
Sanctimonious fools
What's the point in believing
If you can't adapt to your own rules?
 
Brain-dead obedience
Your will's not your own
If you trust the contradictions
Spewed from a papal throne!
 
Verse 4:
Pointless virtues,
Urged by white-clad men
Lying and cheating
Over and over again
Hollow promises
False sense of safety
Trusting a god
To lead you to your destiny
 
Chorus:
Look at life for what it is
Seeing through their lies
Believe in nothing, trust in no one
Rip the veil of disguise
Indoctrination, 
Your senses overthrown
It's up to you to form your own fate
In the end, we're all alone

The Indoctrinated

Title: Atmospheres
Album: Pandemonium's Rise
Music by: Markus Hiltunen/Fredrik Kjellgren
Lyrics by: Markus Hiltunen

Verse 1:
Stifled by reality
Transparent actuality
Drowning in vacuous seas

Projected ambiguity
Surrounding conspiracy
Unconditional ambivalence

Chorus:
Erratic fantasy unfolds
Atmospheres apart
Fictitious paradigm unveiled
In an abstruse truth

Verse 2:
Shifted objectivity
Sheltering fantasy
Confined within the clouds

Sentient instability
Cerebral anarchy
Witnessing pandemonium's rise

Chorus:
Erratic fantasy unfolds
Atmospheres apart
Fictitious paradigm unveiled
In an abstruse truth

Chorus 2:
But I will break
The boundaries of space
Pierce the ice, crack the surface
And embrace the universe

[Instrumental]

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

[Repeat Chorus and Chorus 2]
