The Numb Experience Lyrics:

Go

The crying spreads through the slaughterhouse
The useless brand, a new terrible sentence
Another ego trip, genesis of the ravenous virus

The cypress island… Rising beyond its mystery
In ancient fortress, fever through infinity
The bloody trip sinks into oblivion

Fading away
Your cries in the void
Your words are falling down…
Fading away
Your cries in the void
Leave no traces...

Solo: Difato

The cruel divine circles
An ephemeral, empty shape proudly wounds again
On the ship of the blinds, waiting for the fatal impact

The cypress island… Rising beyond its mystery
In ancient fortress, fever through infinity
The bloody trip sinks into oblivion

Fading away
Your cries in the void
Your words are falling down…
Fading away
Your cries in the void
Leave no traces...

The numb caress of these days...

Solo: Rebughini

Fading away
Your cries in the void
Your words are falling down…
Fading away
Your cries in the void
Your words are falling down…

Swallowed By The Afterglow lyrics:

A golden arrow hits from behind
Dance of red spirals… Unending war
The seeds of the seven crosses bar the evolution
Every trace will be swallowed

In the mirror of your eyes I see
Another, another me in front of me
The dark cathedral where echoes die without remembrance
Solefald discloses the hollow 

In the jaws of the nightfall
Horror opens the gates of hopeless hours...

With their weary eyes and their feeble broken wings
Unable to run away from atomic mother earth
With their weary eyes and constellations flow
Swallowed by the afterglow
 
Pathetic grey ardour dissolves
The cold embrace of life, the jest is revealed
Possessed by the essence of death
They fall on their knees in the abyss
And they die swallowed

In the jaws of the nightfall
Horror opens the gates of hopeless hours...

With their weary eyes and their feeble broken wings
Unable to run away from atomic mother earth
With their weary eyes and constellations flow
Swallowed by the afterglow

Solo: Difato

Swallowed by the afterglow
Swallowed by the afterglow

Human Dust Debris lyrics:

A pulse, a far neverending whisper
A black point and the infinite white
The spasmodic eye meets the limit
Skin merges with the lunar stone

An ocean opens and the urge dies…
Molecules drift into outer space…

Even though, the pulsing is swept away
Through the lifeless dust shapes disintegrate

A pulse along the mystic false river
The warm shelter of a random light
Cracks in the bell jar bleed hate
A pure illusion implodes forgotten

An ocean opens and the urge dies…
Molecules drift into outer space…

Even though, the pulsing is swept away
Through the lifeless dust shapes disintegrate, no…
A vision rises from within, cradled by the lunar breeze
Human dust debris

Solo: Difato

A pulse probes the concrete spirit
The deaf god eaters… The blind god eaters
The pulsing is swept away
Proud of being?
The pulsing dust into oblivion

Solo: Rebughini

Even though, the pulsing is swept away
Through the lifeless dust shapes disintegrate, no…
A vision rises from within, cradled by the lunar breeze
Human dust debris

Apophis' Monolithes lyrics:

Running among the monsters
The opaque glass, bloody steel dreadful age
Anaesthesia conceals the broken balance

I stare at splinters feeling the Monolithes' hate
The corals paralize the dead and the golden sands rule forever…
 
The call of green sirens into dim light of creation
A labyrinth… Gazing walls
The new Apophis' age rises, rises
Unbearable cries… The wildest Apophis' monolithes

Anomaly suffocates, during the bastard voyage
Machinery's still killing… Kills, kills, kills…

The chain tears the dominating god of fears
Sky… No shelter… Feeling the Monolithes' hate…

The call of green sirens into dim light of creation
A labyrinth… Gazing walls
The new Apophis' age rises, rises
Unbearable cries… The wildest Apophis' monolithes

Solo: Rebughini / Difato

Entering the era of unending despair, these towers control this venomous air

The call of green sirens into dim light of creation
A labyrinth… Gazing walls
The new Apophis' age rises, rises
Unbearable cries… The wildest Apophis' monolithes
