Serenity (EP)
17 March, 2014, Independent, Bandcamp
6 May, 2014, Shigionoth Records, CD-R
1) The Void
5:33, lyrics:
Into the Void
I call, I scream
Oblivion
Be my deliverance
Be my sanctum
Into the Void
I fall I dream
Reliving my memories
Relive my life
the things I want undone
Inside the Void
I search I find
Rewritten sentences of words unsaid
Your silent answer and the questions resonate
What if I spoke when my tongue was numb
What if I told when my heart was in pain
What if I asked you forgive and forget
What if I wasn't so afraid
I imagine if had looked into your eyes
Forgotten my pride and told truth instead of a lie
I fear I'll lose myself
If I dream too far
Inside the Void
It is still but a dream
So bring me out of the Void
I force my heart to rest
And bring myself to wake
again
Present time feels no patience
Present time does not wait
Embrace
2) Serene
5:04, lyrics:
Awakened by the dreams of night
Streetlights yields to the grey
Rain shatter the world outside my window
Towering walls of steel and stone
I feel the last raindrops falling from the sky
close my eyes and feel the heat of an awakening sun
Rippling water dripping from the last winter snow
between these walls of steel and stone I find you flourish
Again you stand
alone and victorious
between cracks in our
ground of stone
Again you stand
unfolded and exposed
Forgotten miracle
Hidden divinity
you are
You unfroze my heart and I felt the change
I never thought I would feel again, as I felt this day
I am reborn
My weary soul no more will linger
3) When We Blindly Follow the Enigma
5:19, lyrics:
Blindfolded we falter with chains around our wrists
we see only through eyes of those who speak
We are the masses we the few
we are the people who were derived by flattering words
we carried the mark, and raised our hands to the sky
In honor of a vision that preached a better world
This is no excuse nor a reason why
This is just a simple confession
We see the blood on our hands
As our eyes adjust to the light
The light of truth reveals our deeds
Our actions, our words, our subtle allusions
The light shines bright at the pain we've created
The torment on the soul, the body and mind
Why are we blind
We follow those who talks as if they see more than us
With promises and encouragement they lead us by hand
While we blindly sing their mantras
We shed our sanity of what is right or wrong
A grand illusionist, working his way through our reason
As we ecstatically glorify his wishes, undoubted
New laws and rules are implemented in our minds,
Who would have known these words became death, the hungry mob?
When the truth is revealed
Our realities will lay in ruins
Rebuild
Recover
Arise
Burn the cloths
That blinded us
So that we can see again
And ask forgiveness
4) The Foundation
5:32, lyrics:
The greatest love of all
Is to die for a fellow man
Like brothers in arms
In the battle of life
I speak to you, listen
Not in empty words
Or in frail tongue
No hidden agenda you’ll see
Comprised of sincerity
No hidden agenda you’ll see
Witness my grand design
Through out all things
From a grain of sand
To the conception of life
Encounter my love
Crushing all selfish things
Redeeming you
From self-destruction
I am the foundation
I know your most inner being
Behold, gaze upon me
Open the gates
Take down defenses
Look through the blinds
Cast light
Submerge, uncover the truth
See that I am
Who I am
I am the Initiator
The Restorer and The Finisher
I am
The good surrender
Let me be who I am
Let me do what I want;
Let me die so you can live
so you can live
I change your heart from stone to flesh
Stripped of your path you are
Now a sinner you are not, but a saint
Go sin no more
Rejoice

Bundle: Serenity / The Alteration (compilation, 25 March, 2014, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
The physical version of the bundle was just that, a bundle. Just the two CDs shipped together. Technically not a "separate release", but it is available as a separate digital download on Bandcamp.
Strangely enough, this digital version isn't discounted -- quite the contrary. "Serenity" is 20 DKK and "The Alteration" is 45, totaling 65. However, this download is 70.
Tracks 1-4 are from "The Serenity".
Tracks 5-15 are from "The Alteration".
No need to have the tracklists here twice!
