Hollow Plague
Released 2024
1. My Design
Chasing through the dusk Bruised and strained A heart about to burst The world has been drained of light Memories clouded Colors fades to grey You have evolved, tough I'm still the same Threats long gone Unhinged, no chains or binds Through your ignorance I'll make you suffer Chasing through the dawn Blind and dazed Forward! Forward! You can't back down Frozen in time that passes like the wind Every pained step Further down the path I possess power to make you strong Strength bring ruin Driven by purpose long forgotten You've turned me from friend to foe I have no choice You have forced my hand The world painted black by my design I possess power to make you strong Strength bring ruin Driven by purpose long forgotten You've turned me from friend to foe I have no choice You have forced my hand The world painted black by my design I have no choice You have forced my hand The world painted black by my design2. Statues of Fear
Shutdown Time slipping The curtain calls, but I'm not there Knocked out Abhorrent Whatever's left of me recedes Enclosed In static Determined words from deep inside Let go You're tragic This mere existence is a laugh Portray an epitaph This life that You gave us Have turned to statues full of fear And time has Betrayed us By weaving fate into our souls Awake Envision All of these thoughts I can't ignore Distraught And shattered This is not who I am This life that You gave us Have turned to statues full of fear And time has Betrayed us By weaving fate into our souls When there are holes within a memory I fill the gaps with rambling thought Until the truth becomes calamity And I accept that it's my fault This life that You gave us Have turned to statues full of fear And time has Betrayed us By weaving fate into our souls3. A Tale So Hollow
Gloomy eyes slowly awaking The wind whispers the smoke has been sighted We are all In this together Prepare to save the day Rise to the call, my brothers Prepare to save this town No smoke without fire It's almost here Say your prayers Out in the streets Panic is spreading This fight is a glorious one Steel yourselves Sound the bell Fire's raging forward Soon to engulf our lives in its flames Everyday This town is on fire I've lost track of time Will this hell ever end Don't let me die The smoke is getting thicker It's getting harder to breathe My brothers' falling all around me They're dying I can hear them plead Sound the bell Fire's raging forward Soon to engulf our lives in its flames Everyday This town is on fire I've lost track of time Will this hell ever end Please save me now Since the dawn of time Mankind has fought the flames Until the day we'll all burn down It'll be nothing but a dream All alone and broken My life is at an end The elder's tale so hollow They knew we all would die A pyre awaits you and I In my mind Panic is spreading This fight is a foolish one Seals my fate Sound the bell Fire's raging forward Soon to engulf our lives in its flames Everyday This town is on fire I've lost track of time Will this hell ever end I see the flames Before my eyes Please set me free4. We Are The Plague
A gift of life Stars all aligned A realm for all to thrive Through eons Cycles of life Nothing has teared you down Millennia passed in a blink of an eye Forests burning Blackening sky Toxic mist spreads like disease Mass extinction Crumbling existence Putrid stench carried by the breeze The end is near A world in decay We are the plague Fear the flame Inhale the choking haze Scorched earth Rivers running dry Destroy our own kind Pollute the world The scars run deep Can they still heal The world cries With a deafening sound Greed fuels the fool Who knows no bounds Inflict pain to our home We must atone Forests burning Blackening sky Toxic mist spreads like disease Suffer the consequence For our ignorance This is our mistake Our end is near A world in decay We are the plague Fear the flame Inhale the choking haze Scorched earth Rivers running dry Destroy our own kind Pollute the world5. Dimmornas Dal
Sörj vår själ, ty ack och ve Långsam flykt mot ensamhet Känseln tynar i mörkrets sal Ingen plats för några kval På reträtt från en verklighet Ett svek mot vår mänsklighet Gamla synder suddas ut I dimensionen utan slut Vad är verkligt Finns det någon där Bedövat sinne i flimrande sken Själen finns ej mer Evig lycka i dimmornas dal Allt är förlåtet, allt är glömt För själen finns ej mer Sörj vår själ, ty ack och ve Långsam färd mot ofrihet Steg för steg, dag för dag Vår enda väg Fast i apatins maskineri Förtvivlans skri genom evig natt Skarpa eggar sargar din varelse Maskinen krossar ben och vilja Vedergällning för ditt förräderi Vad är verkligt Finns det någon där Bedövat sinne i flimrande sken Själen finns ej mer Evig lycka i dimmornas dal Allt är förlåtet, allt är glömt För själen finns ej mer Förtvivlans skri genom evig natt Skarpa eggar sargar din varelse Maskinen krossar både ben och vilja Vedergällning för ditt förräderi Vad är verkligt Är det verklighet Bedövat sinne Själen finns ej mer Evig lycka i dimmornas dal Allt är förlåtet, allt är glömt För själen finns ej mer Vad är verkligt Finns det någon där Bedövat sinne i flimrande sken Själen finns ej mer Evig lycka i dimmornas dal Allt är förlåtet, allt är glömt För själen finns ej mer| Guitar & Lead Vocals | Robin "Bengan" Bengtsson |

Shackles of Reality
Released 2023
1. By the Cover of Darkness
The day is dawning, the beckoning light Dethrone the tyrants and evil reign Immoral vermin, threatening to kill A great injustice to be purged Years of plotting, biding my time Crafting webs of lies, all to justify The stage all set by my foe Now I'm telling you how my hands are tied All moving forward By divine light Boots on the ground, fire in the sky Don't question the rule, by your command Possess the power to channel your pain Destruction, the way to build a legacy All moving forward With bloodstained hands A greater purpose Conjuring blight The ground is shaking, drenched in blood None escapes the frenzy, forced upon Minds shattered, lost to loved ones Fear petrifies the souls who won't come home Unwilling foes, caught in the fray By the cover of darkness, find a way All moving forward From bloodstained lands A bleeding wound There's no way back2. A Leper's Elegy
The years crawled slowly in my prison of flesh Where masters whipped dead skin to the bone In spiteful chains I faced the purging of thoughts A road to suffering for lepers and pariahs We Enslaved Reduced To nothing Along the crooked path of chaos The fork-tongued prophets spoke their truths divine One madman's legacy for us to fulfill The rope that's tied around our necks Swallowed by fear in a never-ending cycle Shackled and chained will we ever be ourselves United by night and divided by dawn Bow down And fall in line Give in We sold our souls For all the bleeding hearts Whose redemption never came For the ones who sought the flame But lost their way And when the darkness devours the light We are as one We welcome the night so pure and cold Bow down And fall in line Give in We sold our souls3. Harbinger's Call
Save yourself, there's no empathy Lurking horrors and evil thoughts Within reach Deceiving words is all Many faces, never seen Silently stalking a new prey Devour and feed, consuming with greed All I say Beware of the wolves Foul beings, disguised and all among us Vile intentions, a terrible fate to endure Closing in, they will sense Your compassion and innocence You'll be used Torn to pieces, how long will you last? Teeth and claw, long and sharp Closing in for the final fall Strengthen your walls Keep them strong And once again beware of the wolves Foul beings, disguised and all among us Vile intentions, a terrible fate to endure Claws sink in, buried in flesh Gripping tight, never let go Whispering poison It's the last thing you'll hear They drain you of life Replace it with fear I did tell you Beware of the wolves Silence fills the void Where my soul used to reside Too many times, drained of all life Heed the harbinger's call Foul beings, disguised and all among us Vile intentions, a terrible fate to endure Silence fills the void Where my soul used to reside Too many times, drained of all life Heed the harbinger's call Silence fills the void Where my soul used to reside Too many times, drained of all life Heed the harbinger's call4. Shackles of Reality
Remember the days of our youth Where it all began We searched for long lost times In embers faded to ash Whisky haze in early morning dew Under tall, whispering trees Restless hearts kept on beating But the morning bird sang of grief Memories resurface Embraced by the past Where shackles of reality contain Look back in our wake The riddles in the water Soon to be consumed by the tide An unknown force from beyond Tore us up like paper An evil as cold as ice Froze our blood and stole our dreams This is how it ends In the branches' cold embrace Good night little bird What news did you ever bring? Memories resurface Embraced by the past Where shackles of reality contain Look back in our wake The riddles in the water Soon to be consumed by the tide Memories resurface Embraced by the past Where shackles of reality contain Look back in our wake The riddles in the water Soon to be consumed by the tide5. Awake (feat. Robin Olofsson)
For so many years you thought of escaping The time has now finally come But the sting of rejection left you stranded and lost In a world you were once taught to distrust Your loved ones blinded by sorrow and suffering Mourning the loss of their prodigal child The faces of friends turned pale with contempt As you were left to suffocate in exile To wash away the stains of your past Is to rid yourself of who you are So if you wish to start again Be on your guard You, who've witnessed the truth from within You, who've strayed so far from the path You, who fell from the castle up high Rejoice, rejoice! You, who've felt the claws the elders You, whose minds were ridden with guilt You, whose words were silenced and shamed Awake, awake! You'll carry your faith 'til the end of your days And shun the scripts of hatred and shame For your god is benign, a bringer of light A beacon of flame in the blackest of nights To wash away the stains of your past Is to rid yourself of who you are So if you wish to start again Be on your guard You, who've witnessed the truth from within You, who've strayed so far from the path You, who fell from the castle up high Rejoice, rejoice! You, who've felt the claws the elders You, whose minds were ridden with guilt You, whose words were silenced and shamed Awake, awake! The choice to leave behind all you've known Was not in vain for you're not alone Build your own life, forge your dreams For your children are safe, happy and free| Guitar & Lead Vocals | Robin "Bengan" Bengtsson |
