A Dream if Ever There Was One

Cyril Glaume En faisant la synthèse des registres d’Animals as Leaders, Lex Talionis, Symbyosis et Dragon Force, Chaos Over Cosmos prend un gros risque : celui d’épuiser l’auditeur en moins de temps qu’il n’en faut pour dire « Yngwie Malmsteen ». Il ne manque plus que les bons conseils d’une oreille avisée pour que cet artiste diablement virtuose arrive à se canaliser, puis à casser la baraque.

Warangelic Their sound kinda reminds me of a mixture between Inferi and In Flames, two of my favourite band from different spectrums of melodic death metal. Favorite track: Fire-eater.

We can't outrun the ending to mortality, were closer to the end than we know The deviation subtle as we drift from the bubble Slowly chipping away at all the looping at play We're glistening with nitro-glycerin A kindling in batches, A match head that catches Always one step away from burning it to the ground The "Hero's Dream" - forever a tyrannical instrument used to make our people bleed The epitome of entropy, the enemy's supremacy Administer the opiate to keep the people listening We're glistening with nitro-glycerin A kindling in batches, A match head that catches Meet our leader (Death) the fire-eater (lies) Let's burn the dreamer's vision straight to the ground One stroke, Burn all of this From finger tips, to apocalypse Then here’s for burn, The fire we start, And here’s for the pain that singes the heart Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall, the worst of it all... Then here’s for ash, Beginning anew, Here's for the devil And steeling his due Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall the worst of it all... From spark to the field The ember embrace Never will yield She's leaving no trace Miles of smoke Death in the air How violent we choke No-one worthy to spare We Are Glistening With nitro-glycerin The vision reset with a charred silhouette A gift to the fake king Demagogue in the making Thinning the coffers Filling the coffins Reflections of Pompeii inside idyllic apartments We're glistening with nitro-glycerin A kindling in batches, A match head that catches Meet our leader (Death) the fire-eater (lies) We're clawing and choking on the tail One stroke, Burn all of this From finger tips, to apocalypse Then here’s for burn, The fire we start, And here’s for the pain that singes the heart Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall, the worst of it all... Then here’s for ash, Beginning anew, Here's for the devil And steeling his due Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall the worst of it all..

Owl, disguised Trapped in the glass Pinned to the rock Spinning through space Searching for clues Always violent Owl, disguised Destined for death I am the arm. I sound like... this. Is it past or is it now? I awake She spoke soft, inviting me "Do you recall the message?" I fumbled through notes, and stuttered my words "Do you recall?" The oracle lies We are like the dreamer who lives inside the dream. I'm not afraid to die... I'm just afraid to live... In this world I made So little words So much to say I can't remember my name This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full and decend She whispered to me, That this was a dream, one for the wise, A game for the fool. We are like the dreamer who lives inside the dream. I'm not afraid to die. I'm just afraid to live... In this world I hate Is it past or is it now?

I shed tears to commune, But your sorrows a desert, This path to nowhere still requires travel The slaves are coming for their masters In darkness he awaits The blade now subjugates Orchestrating and making disasters The great empty is so heavy Let’s fill the void with the bones of those who chained us We build the wonders and horrors in equal measure A post modern post mortem outcome A culture defined by the have nots Orchestrating and making disasters Let's fill the void with bones. We’ve come so far now The dream will continue to beckon But soon the nightmare recycles, returning From bondage, your masters, who take and draw quarter We've come so far now The nightmare continues to beckon (Trade one ounce of blood for one ounce of blood) With two rounds, my back against the wall You answered the call Repackaging and selling you the suffering Wholesale, bulk sold, Discounting and planning the debt, another reason we chose to forget Repackaging and selling you the suffering Wholesale, bulk sold, Hoping to recoup what we bet Another trigger finger, Russian roulette How many times have I wanted to grow, I wanted to change, I wanted to feel I fight to be free and free to go fight (I don't want this anymore) Not under the boot, the edge of the knife Lives lived, fires lit but we're killing the dream A syndrome in stock, homes warm to receive Load the gun with two rounds We build the wonders and horrors in equal measure We’ve come so far now The dream will continue to beckon But soon the nightmare recycles, returning From bondage, your masters, who take and draw quarter We've come so far now The nightmare continues to beckon (Trade one ounce of blood for one ounce of blood) With two rounds, my back against the wall You answered the call Both bullets for you and me Break the cycle

An unelected concierge Blood red sky, toxic air Faces stained with shades of bruising Imposter debonair A psychological hold Uncertainty sold We buy it again and again and again and again Don’t look down cuz it’s in sight (Disendowing the host) Don’t look down cuz it’s in sight (Purge the net to the gross) We sing to believe, but dance in a graveyard And natures taking it back It took all of this to know You speak to deceive a rhetoric graveyard Now we’re taking it back Soil consumed with our boots and our blood, A thousand to one; reclaim our place Fuck the odds Escape to the rooftops, we run The famine upon us is a feast for the forest Let’s split the difference We sing but dance in a graveyard It took all of this to know You speak to deceive a rhetoric graveyard Now we’re taking it back Let’s take it back! The reward of audacity was the chance to steer history Say adieu to the new “Hello? Come in… Who are you? Do you see me? To the world: we can hear you To the world: we say adieu The flowers will grow by the blood that you sow The mud calls your name. Tradition of dead generations weighs as a nightmare on the brains of the living The flowers will grow by the blood that you sow The mud calls your name.

You see it all turning Corrupted and torn in two Like parasites taking a victim Tormenting, askew Scattered and paralyzed Frozen down to the core False prophets idolized Miracles twisted from lies (War) Famine rules the land That were pillaged and worn Cities crumbled in fear foundations trembled Deities were prayed upon But they showed restraint All that is here (here) All that remains (remains) Is a distant memory (We're Trapped) Bring the power back to restore Bring the balance back to home This world is our only world Like the fog engulfs all Cascading darkness It feeds across all We can’t go back to the start Or force our way to the end We must take charge of it all It’s your world Bring the power back to restore Bring the balance back home We can’t go back to the start Or force our way to the end We must take charge of it all This world is our only world.

To discover what's inside Doesn't take a monster to rip it out Just a matter of searching and trying To define what it is that you Desire (You're) Consumed, (We're) Estranged, (So) Entwined, (Alive) Tear down (Fear) Repair, (Hate) Reform, (Choose) Tear down, (Divide) Your wall Rediscover the unknown, this day inside the flames It waits in the unknown, push the darkness inside of night Don't hideaway It's another day Don't hideaway We scream the shame (You're) Consumed, (We're) Estranged, (So) Entwined, (Alive) Tear down (Fear) Repair, (Hate) Reform, (Choose) Tear down, (Divide) Your wall

Look in the mirror What do you see Different versions that you Thought you would be Tearing apart or torn in two Unable to see the person in you Scattered battered Worlds apart Confusion delusion No trace or mark Picture your side Divining anchor Disconnect and undermine you To sink in to This field of Dreams In the beginning Unable to be free In the beginning We’re born different In the beginning These violent delights have violent ends But in the end, we are the same It’s the same… the ending’s the same (We’re worlds apart) Scattered along Tormented Flayed upon Knocked noose The ending is the same (We’re worlds apart) In the belly it awaits Spitting blood Open eyes We can see the ending is the same We’re trapped Poison generation Create devastation We’re destroying the unnatural Invoking your collateral Broke inside but can’t be free Feeling that there’s no release Trapped forever broke inside Wished you felt forever alive In the beginning Unable to be free In the beginning We’re born different In the beginning These violent delights have violent ends But in the end, we are the same
