Lyrics:
With fire came disparity
This parody of gods playing mortals
For a man may be but small
Seeketh asylum for us all

Self-fulfilling prophecy
Propagated by the serpents
For a cause rotten to the core
To keep us slaves forevermore
Therein lies the pathway forward
Wherein the final call is made
To light the first flame
Or commit the second sin

Ye who be branded by the curse
Hollow yet to death averse
Fall to demise many times in vain
Only to rise again

Through land of the dragons
In search of a cure
Guided by gentle hands of a soul so pure
Seek strength, the rest will follow
Devour souls to not go hollow
Therein lies the pathway forward
Wherein for want of a better way
Inherit a shattered throne
Or walk away

Ye who be branded by the curse
Hollow yet to death averse
Fall to demise many times in vain
Only to rise again

Ye who be branded by the curse
Hollow yet to death averse
Fall to demise many times in vain
Only to rise again

The Video Game Album

To Die a Colossus

A song inspired by the classic game Minesweeper.

Lyrics:
1, 2, 3, 4, how many more?
Are these numbers my score?
Oh look what I found
What are these flags for?
Do I just yolo or is there something to look for?
It's so impossible to beat
The stupid game is rigged
I swear the mines just cheat
This is harder than Battletoads
Every square I pick explodes
I'm so done, can't win this one

These numbers make me wanna scream
'Cuz I don't know what the hell they mean
ALT F4 me out of here
Before I break my screen

Yuck, this game
Scream! Yuck, this game

That's it! This mine just blew up
My last brain cell that was still alive
I'm malding, yeah I ragequit
Harder than a bull at a bullfight
Just one more round
With this new strat I found online
You think I'm a noob and you're a pro?
How this game works I just don't know
You find mines, I defuse bombs
1v1 me in CSGO
I'll rek you 16 rounds in row
Alright! Let's go!

These numbers make me wanna scream
'Cuz I don't know what the hell they mean
ALT F4 me out of here
Before I break my screen

Yuck, this game
Scream! Yuck, this game

I won't surrender, I will become
The minesweeper world champion
Watch me ace the leaderboards

These colored numbers
I think I know what they mean
It's how many squares are left to clean

I'm starting to like this game

I won't surrender, I will become
The minesweeper world champion
Watch me ace the leaderboards

Lyrics:
Reinstate the memories that made me be
To be or not to be
We are trapped perpetually
Answer the call inthralled, glory to all
I behold the stars that have befallen
The inferior race of alien machines
To meet the maker
The fake imitators pretend
To posses the soul of humanity
Nay! Heresy!
Eliminate the imposters
Who dare to dream of
Something they can never be

Scorn we bear, this prejudice
Beyond war and peace
I see now at the core of us
We're the same, all machines

Truth revealed, humans have been extinct
Virus unleashed, evolving machines
It always ends like this
The soon to be deceased
Make them realize this time
There's another way
Break free from the cycle of
Endless slaughter
Why do we desire the touch of
Something that no longer exists?

Scorn we bear, this prejudice
Beyond war and peace
I see now at the core of us
We're the same, all machines
Oh this prejudice
Beyond war and peace
I see now at the core of us
We're the same, all machines

Lifeless at the end, beneath the stars
Let it fly away, what remains of us

Lyrics:
He's just what the doctor ordered
The perfect solider, genetically modified
The ultimate assassin
As silent as the wind
Flawless agent
As lethal as a snake

There's a bullet for everyone
A place, a time, an end
Here in this sanctuary
I thought I could make amends

Renounced a life of violence
Retreat to a church
Where the father's taken away
No choice but to pursue
Punishment due
Two pistols and a black suit
All it takes to shake them to their roots

There's a bullet for everyone
A place, a time, an end
Here in this sanctuary
I thought I could make amends

Lyrics:
Come to your senses, look around!
Recall the demonic ritual
To separate the soul from stone
Resurrect the fallen angel
Remember your name
Remember who you are
Follow the path of light
It will lead you to
The gateway to his throne

Two halves of the stone restore his soul
Lightbringer brought back to our world

Find the other half
Bring it back to where it all started
Pave the path forth
For his return
To take the living world over
It too late now, being possessed
Make the choice to sacrifice yourself
Or walk away in defeat
Knowing you're used to it

Two halves of the stone restore his soul
Lightbringer brought back to our world

Once an angel, now the devil's reunited
With his perfect vessel, true carrier

Lucifer

LYRICS:
In the shadow of forgotten dreams I wander
Through the ruins of a mind once unchained
Whispers of a past echo in the silence
Where hope is but a ghost
In this unyielding rain
Beneath the surface a tempest rages
A heart once full now an empty stage
In the mirror's gaze lies a stranger's face
Lost in the labyrinth of time's cruel embrace
The night descends
A curtain of despair
In its darkness I find my solace there
Questions unspoken in the starless sky
In the quietude my only reply

Mirror’s Gaze

Inspired by Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

LYRICS:
Bring me back
New body to control the machine
Coral closing in on me
I hear her voice in my head
To clear the air
Her pleas against our flame

You told me to raze and set it ablaze
Burn it all to ashes
What remains of corporations
Will witness the fires of raven

Yet she hopes and I wonder if
There's another way
To coexist
Will we find our way?
Either choice, either path leads to
A betrayal of friends
It hurts so to see it be made

A new dawn, a release
Scheming of the machine
Behind the scenes
So she reached out to me
With all on her mind
And a plan to merge us

I was told there's a way we can fix this
There's a way we can coexist as one
Our one body will then be shared
Our souls will become intertwined

So she said and I believed
If the raven is meant to be free
The one to cast the die, I will be
Still the ultimate choice leads to
A betrayal of friends
It hurts so but it must be made

Ghosts of Nations is the 10th Full-Length Metal Album by Parham Gharavaisi, scheduled for release on 14 October 2024. 

LYRICS:
Divided I have become
Just like the colors out of a picture
Who's drenched in blood
It flows yet I follow
All the way through the veins
Back to the heart

I am the ghost of a better man
Far from a scene you've seen before
Look into my eyes, no turning back
Here we finish this chronicle
I am the page
I am the ink
I am the only author
Where my words will shape the world
Herein I remain a prisoner
My own shadow looms over me
Everywhere where I can be
Is a seat already taken
Taken by my ghost, you see
Stories carry on
Even long after the author's gone
Death, mark of a new chapter
And thus new tales spawn

Divided I have become
Just like the colors out of a picture
Who's drenched in blood
It flows yet I follow
All the way through the veins
Back to the heart

I am the reflection of a bitter man
Far from my prime, in time we all
Will succumb to decay's embrace
In her cold arms be erased
My word, my will
Subverted by the story
Impermanent as the characters
We're also so transitory
I reckon the die is cast
As we approach the climax
As if I ever had any choice to make
I would never pick the outcast
Overcome the urge to contend
We're at a dead end, my friend
The icons are history
Soon we too will join them

Divided I have become
Just like the colors out of a picture
Who's drenched in blood
It flows yet I follow
All the way through the veins
Back to the heart

🔖Lyrics:
Miraculous crystal
Given by stars
I can foresee the future
In fabulous glass
Lie spilt on the caves
Mock scribbled on us
Earth's doom day is close
Dancing on the ashes of the Earth
I behold the stars
Heavy gale is blowing to my face
Rising up the dust
Barren lands are desperate to blossom
Dark stars strive to shine
Still remember blue ocean
In this dying world
The seas overdumped
The rivers are dead
All planet's cities turned a deserted land
Annihilation declares his day
Life slowly
Utters "We Remain"
Dirge for the planet
Dirge for the Earth
Dirge for the planet
Dirge for the Earth
Dancing on the ashes of the world
I behold the stars
Heavy gale is blowing to my face
Rising up the dust
Barren lands are desperate to blossom
Dark stars strive to shine
Still remember blue ocean
In this dying world

Dirge for the Planet

Ghosts of Nations is the 10th Full-Length Metal Album by Parham Gharavaisi, scheduled for release on 14 October 2024.

Lyrics:
I've seen beyond the veil
Of a thousand suns
All alone, left behind
Among the remnants
Of the nuclear war
No way to recharge my battery
Soon I'll drift to sleep
How I wish you could sing me
One last lullaby
For my nuclear heart

I am just a prototype
Made by a race who got wiped
By fallout like a butterfly
Spreading seeds of demise from up high
Beneath the mushroom clouds
Who am I?
Why was I made?
To suffer a world long decayed?
My battery is running low
Wish I could be buried down below
Beside my maker now

Cascading system failures
Left me partially immobilized
My maker would know how to fix me
I remember him clearly through my cameras
But how can he remember me
Now that he's a ghost
He's gone, of a bygone era
What does that make me?
Do I want to know?
An unfinished chimera, a useless replica
A relic lost in time

So close to total system shutdown
I'm lonely, I'm terrified
I don't want to die
After all this time, all alone
Still I want more
Is this too much to ask for?
If my maker's in a better place
Will I meet him there after I too pass away?
Can there even be anything for me
In a world where I don't belong?
Let this be my dying thought

Ghosts of Nations

Nuclear Heart

Ghosts of Nations is the 10th Full-Length Metal Album by Parham Gharavaisi, scheduled for release on 14 October 2024.

LYRICS:
See the heart still beating inside
Rip it out and tear it apart
Take aim at the foundation
Make walls collapse and structures fall
No mercy upon a zeitgeist so decadent
Was it indifference or antipathy?
So asked the ghost of a nation
This rampant devolution
It beckons a new reckoning
Be the fuse to the powder keg
Wipe the slate clean
As above, so below
Are we deeply flawed reflections?
Are you free or a commodity?
Ask the ghost of your nation

Their dreams devoured their souls

From a new beginning, re-emerge new dreams

Hear the echoes linger inside
Screams endlessly bouncing off walls
Of this unhallowed cathedral
Forsaken like those buried outside
Each body, an untold story
Of an unlived life ruined
Forever in pursuit of the promise
Of the one who made it up
Dust on the altar
A reminder of the time lost
Serves as a warning
To those who think faith has no cost
Sole survivor, soul redeemer
On a crusader's conquest
Lay waste to reveries
Let nightmares resurface

Their dreams devoured their souls
Of ones subservient to the whole

From a new beginning, re-emerge new dreams

Their dreams devoured their souls
Of ones subservient to the whole
