The Purge

[Lyrics: Aris]
I hear it, I sense it
The cleansing inferno
It hungers for our flesh
Consuming the archives
My lifetime’s ambition
Will be reduced to ash
How can I save what is precious only to me?
Who is to blame for destroying this heresy?
Fire shall purge my heart's desire
Lost forever is my dream
Hells’ flames will punish
Those who won't abide
The heavenly laws
Running for my life
How am I supposed
To salvage the
Masters’ ancient words
How can I save, what is precious only to me?
Who is to blame for destroying this heresy?
Fire shall purge my heart's desire
Lost forever is my dream
Words hit harder than swords
The power of knowledge can rule the world
A secret it must stay
Until mankind's dying day
DOLOR! LUCTUS! TIMOR SCIENTE!
QUAERE! LIBRUM! ARTIS POETICAE!
RISUS! LUCTUS! SCELUS CORDIS!
INVENI! AETERNAM! SAPIENTE!

Cleanse Their Sins

[Lyrics: Panos]
IGNIS FLAMMA FUMUS VIS
VIDES CRUOR CULPA MORS
SACRUM BELLUM CLADIS FONS
FURVUS MALUS CAEDES MORS
Out of darkness
A beacon of hope rises
Restless minds in pursuit
Of reason and truth
Dark times still haunting
Every breath
Every attempt to differ
To progress
Should we let them question
Our truth that we so long
Guard by spreading fear
Denying, lying...
A heretic's words that's all this is
Show them the god's will through flames
We'll cleanse their sins
Forever burn the witch
Pillars of religion
A senseless addiction
The need for conviction
A strange contradiction
When faith turns to violence
What's left to believe (in)
Any last hope
For inner peace is gone

No Escape
04:33

[Lyrics: Panos]
I am lost within a maze of fear and regret
Everything I see, everything I feel
Are blurred images of a life long passed by
Forsaken by the essence of time
Memories are treacherous things
Teasing you, reviving what you
So desperately tried to hide
To forget, to repent
But hey, no matter what you do
The past is still haunting you
There is no escape from
Your inner demons, your own soul
You dream of running away
Of being free again from
All that's said and done
But there's no turning back
Your heart is a shattered glass
A painting torn apart
Tears become your pain
Lost in the whispering rain

Whispers In The Dark
04:17
|
|||
|
[Lyrics: Panos]
Another night full of whispers
Plots unveil, conspiring voices
A game of treason in front of our eyes
Still blinded by darker times
Chase shadows in the dark
Face the demons mortal man
At the first rays of the morning sun
The death toll rises once again
One more needless sacrifice
Even this won't suffice
Chase shadows in the dark
Face the demons mortal man
The time has finally come
Faith shall rise again
Why is this happening?
So much blood on our hands
Chase shadows in the dark
Face the demons mortal man
The time has finally come
Faith shall rise again

Shrine Of Wisdom

|
[Lyrics: Panos]
Follow me…
Across this barren land
Show me…
Devotion and trust
Put your life…
In my hands
Allow me…
To teach you all the dark secrets
Is this the place I was told
A shrine of forbidden knowledge?
As we pass through the gates
The fear deepens
You can see it now in their eyes
An act of evil that cannot be explained
Yet perfectly clear for those who can
Maintain the balance between faith and logic
That's all that prevails
Is this the place I was told
A shrine of forbidden knowledge?
As we pass through the gates
The fear deepens
You can see it now in their eyes
You can hear it through
Unspoken words
You can feel it in their souls
Was this an act of desperation
Or an attempt to withhold
The darkest secrets buried
Under these very walls

Veil Of Faith
04:49
|
|||
|
[Lyrics: Panos]
This endless debate, myth and reality
Truth lies under the dust of time
How many things we were meant to ignore
Concealed under the veil of faith
Wars caused by study of ancient stories
Unending destruction, driven by lies
All this time, you've tried to raise your voice
Look into the depths of your soul
Trying to believe, what is right and wrong
Through a void of reason, we all had to walk
to reach the other side
All this time, you've tried to raise your voice
Trying to believe, what is right and wrong
Religions formed to enslave the minds
Fanatics commanded by smoke and mirrors
Devoting their lives to words of preachers
Misguided, been promised the afterlife
Just pawns on the chessboard of vile clerics
Swords driven through the hearts of non-believers

Salvation
04:08
|
|||
|
[Lyrics: Aris]
A burden in my chest
Uneasy feeling
I'm locked inside a trap
Or am I dreaming?
My days are far too long
Will I ever bring myself to stop
My self-destruction
Or will I hurt myself some more?
Save me
I can't stop it
Killing me
Once again
My sanity drifts away
My soul is fading
The breathing in my room
Is slowly ending
My memories are gates
To the only world I've ever known
Inside this darkness
All hope for glimpse of life is lost
Save me
I can't stop it
Killing me
Once again
Carry me
Through the doorway
I can't see
For myself

A Curse Unfolding
04:23
|
|||
|
[Lyrics: Aris]
A shadow lurking under the moon
A shapeless form to spell your doom
The dead man lies broken beneath
The cold walls echo the grief
A holy man taking his life?
Or devil’s work clouding his mind?
Fear and doubt haunting our lives
A curse unfolding in front of our eyes
Lord save us from this nightmare
Heaven we beg send (us) a sign
There is no spell, no evil is at work
Truth is known to one of you
A human hand controls all the strings
His true purpose is yet to be known
One more death, one more clue
A poison used to silence the truth
Trapped in a race against time
For the inquisition, will soon arrive
Lord save us from this nightmare
Heaven we beg send (us) a sign

Lustful Desires
04:41
|
|||
|
[Lyrics: Panos]
See through the eyes
Of this tortured soul
Abandoned, forsaken
Left to crawl into nothingness
Feeding off remains
Of other people's greed
Begging for what
Others take for granted
Offering flesh to
Satisfy primal needs
An old man's evil
Lustful desire
Let me help you
Pull you out of this gutter
Show you a better world
Full of light
Ignorance is bliss
Nothing leaves these walls
As dreams come to an end
Before death's call
History repeats itself
The stronger shall prevail
Offer them lies
While ruling their lives
Offering flesh to
Satisfy primal needs
An old man's evil
Lustful desire
Let me help you
Pull you out of this gutter
Show you a better world
Full of light
The stage is set
Eternal darkest story
Promises of divinity
Drowned in petty human deeds

[Lyrics: Dimitra]
Seven is their number
Path to immorality
Everyone's against
Man's own nature
Temptation unending
Perpetual test of faith
Deny your instincts
Disown all sinful desires
The path to hell is full
Of lustful roses
Their thorns will mark your soul
Heavens await for you
IRA
GULA
SUPERBIA
LUXURIA
INVIDIA
AVARITIA
ACEDIA
Seven deadly sins…
Courage, hope and faith
Practice your restraint
Enjoy life's offering
Temperant thou shall be
Let nothing take away
Your hope, your love and faith
Always be aware of
Wrath's and envy's evil play
The path to hell is full
Of lustful roses
Deny your mortal life
Be a slave to God
CARITAS
CASTITAS
TEMPERANTIA
PATIENTIA
HUMANITAS
HUMILITAS
UBERTAS
Seven holy virtues…
Greed it's always lurking
To corrode your inner self
Cut the strings to instincts
Destroy your desires
Betray your human nature
Devote yourself to faith
Crawl and beg forgiveness
Secure a place in heaven
The path to hell is full
Of lustful roses
Their thorns will mark your soul
Heavens await for you
The path to hell is full
Of lustful roses
Deny your mortal life
Be a slave to God

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt

"Demons" is my favorite, but it is not a selectable option.

Second favourite: "I Fade". Other great (!) songs are "Ocean" amd "Mainland" (which has a Loreena McKennitt-meets-Within Temptation vibe) I have procrastinated buying her "Kings & Queens" album. I shall fix that immediately.
