1.	Digital Rapture 05:36	lyrics	buy track
No remorse, no repair for the beaten they say  Thrown down was the crown, is there no penance to pay  Burnt out, burned down, just a memory in dust  Listen now, disallow their neglect  We've all been torn apart, is there an obvious way To overcome Blind eyed in the color's maze These thoughts are obsolete today  We are vacant Too weak to even say Replaced by the next contestant The time was spent to find your own way  Reform, conform  A new breed of digital rapture Stand still, just for a second  Look down on the world that's left you behind  We've all been torn apart, is there an obvious way To overcome Blind eyed in the color's maze These thoughts are obsolete today  We are vacant Too weak to even say Replaced by the next contestant The time was spent to find your own way  Reform, conform  A new breed of digital rapture We spend our lives searching for an answer  Freedom, it lies beneath our hands This new breed of digital rapture has taken me Explode into vivid amnesia  Blind eyed in the color's maze These thoughts are obsolete today  We are vacant Too weak to even say Replaced by the next contestant The time was spent to find your own way  Reform, conform  A new breed of digital rapture
2.	Dreamstate Queen 06:11	lyrics	buy track
Shiver Eyes like knives Drawn are Patterns that bleed Mirrors Hall of silent glass Cry out Beckon my Dream state queen Burden my eyes Loss of words Out of focus Stay near Transform my sense of longing Once again I'll leave my broken will to carry This tired old design Deceive my eyes; they're too weary To see beyond this gaze Lost hold of the light Prism of scorn so bright And I'm nearly too late I'll leave my broken will to carry This tired old design Deceive my eyes; they're too weary To see beyond this gaze Lost hold of the light Prism of scorn so bright And I'm nearly awake Try to escape my... Dream state queen Burden my eyes Loss of words Out of focus Out of focus Out of focus
3.	Firefly 07:08	lyrics	buy track
Cut my cheek on this gleaming horizon Celestial womb; unborn child of hope I can't move my eyes from the light The tears burn and I wander into the afterglow Must have been chasing that firefly Fallen down again On my knees Lost my balloon to an electric sky Trying harder than you'll ever know To hold your lightning The dying glow We're so far out now Lights of the city choke This endeavor is terminal Just as the insect is drawn to the lamp Chasing your color in circles It was at its brightest as I lost it Standing on the crumbling edge of my loyalty to a love unknown I never wanted to be here in the first place Desire, a single drop that drowned my soul Hold the hand of death as the earth quakes Destruct to repair the vanity throne Fire burns through this vacant mindscape Bring it down, it was never my own Fear takes hold Don't leave my soul to die alone Kind memories of a warmth I felt inside Trying to grasp what was never there I am so high on chance and the hope for someone to make me feel alive The essence of time decays The world around me fading away Except for the glow in the dark of night Is it worth the chase Must have been chasing that firefly Fallen down again On my knees Lost my balloon to an electric sky Trying harder than you'll ever know To hold your lightning The dying glow We're so far out now Lights of the city choke
4.	Eyes Half Open 04:49	lyrics	buy track
So much of the day passes by my recognition my eyes are only half open and clouded by cynicism Render the world in a fashionable way Because it's a rare discomfort to see it the way it really is So mechanize those who have no heart for each other Because I prefer machine over the coldness of man Shade the brightness of the sun Because it is blinding to those whose eyes are only half open Searching the sky for something The clouds are untrue And the wind tells a story just beyond my perception So ominous it seems; a mirror of my inner self It shows no warning of what is to come Repeating the questions, recycling my breath So mechanize those who have no heart for each other Because I prefer machine over the coldness of man Eyes half open Eyes half open
5.	Phantom Misery 08:03	lyrics	buy track
I am the son of a pitiless nation I am the father of a motherless dream Burdened by the one aspiration To save my soul from atrophy In the depth of the trees Swirling light beaming down A stone left out of place Her Midas touch leaving sheen Past memories are sown One glance, there's that bitter taste Such a wicked game you play Idealized the unparalleled Dragged down in its absence Sold the joy for a catastrophe It's all I wanted That phantom misery The chasm in my heart has petrified Holding to faith so listlessly So tired and gray once painted bright The dreaming tide's shattered violently Idealized the unparalleled Dragged down in its absence Sold the joy for a catastrophe It's all I wanted That phantom misery In the depth of the trees Swirling light beaming down A stone left out of place Her Midas touch leaving sheen Past memories are sown One glance, there's that bitter taste Such a wicked game you play Such a wicked game you play

about

FEROCITY is meant to be both an experiment and a challenge in contemporary modern metal. Guitar riffs inspired by old-school British heavy metal and progressive rock, driving, high-energy drumming, and grooving, solid bass are what comprise the foundation of the album. Rhythms derived from extreme progressive artists, a largely layered, dark sound scape, and unexpected melodies add complexity and depth to the album that evokes a range of emotion seldom found in the genre. The vocal style ranges from a powerful, melodic "classic" heavy metal tone, to softer, dark harmonies, to full-bore aggression. The resulting sound is a thick, dark, melodic metal sound with a progressive edge that resonates with fans of hard rock to death metal all around.
