Time is an illusion Created by the false gods To keep track of their pawns Trapped between time and space You find yourself floating intact Only to feel the energy ripping you apart Tearing limb from limb The hollow messages, Bring nothing but unfortunate events The hollow messages, will be our darkest of descents Can you hear them, they are around Can you feel them, inside your mind Can you hear them, they are around Can you see the (light, bara på sista), making me blind The hollow messages, Bring nothing but unfortunate events The hollow messages, will be our darkest of descents The ship has sailed as messages have been flown out The point of no return (no return x3) This is the time we have to strike the foul gods And bring them down (bring them down x3)

Death Toll 02:23
I will stand tall, I will never fall You shall regret your thoughts Thy mind will be in my palm The time has come, For you to face your fate This ends today, darkness engulfs it all The abyss creeping in slowly The vision is fading from the eyes “You should not be afraid to die” Succumb your mind Death's grip is growing stronger Watching bodies fall to the ground This is not over until They are all piled up Red rivers they are flowing My hands are soaking wet The skies are growing darker What have I done? This is not what I intended My mind has been polluted By the false gods in the skies What have I become?

Awoken, in total emptiness A place where dreams and reality coincide Different elements surge through my body Leaving me burnt out on the ground Yet still breathing Time has not changed my heart it still remains the same The most important parts of me still exists within Although the guilt from the deeds of my past echoes But they do not change my lifelong direction My pride still remains I have to protect the throne While my mind still is clear You won’t change my path This guilt is tearing my soul apart Only a bloody mess remains now After this ceremony My flesh and bones are in ruins Let me assemble myself and rise once again This resurrection shall be the end My pride still remains I have to protect the throne While my mind still is clear You won’t change my path But this time we will not find Another way around this mess Battling through swarms of deceit You have to stay vigilant This is the time for me to rest I need a peaceful mind to survive After what I have done in my past I have to defend my throne But now I fall in the mud I have been struck down Weeping rain hits the ground Mixtures with my own blood The guilt leaves my mind My time defending is done My time is done My time is done I fall down x2 My time is done My time is done

Lost again Wandering the plains Light shines Upon my face Will it guide my way? Or is it a lie? The false gods have fallen I’m standing victorious Was it worth the pain? I am not sure yet Have I died? Was it I who had fallen? Trapped in this illusion Is anything real here? Am I materialized? Or Am I Gone? I am walking on the edge of the earth Or is it just a reality created To occupy the mind The body is getting lighter for every passing moment that I am breathing this fucking cursed air I can’t take this any longer The demons got their will done, they have drained my lifeforce The false gods stand victorious
5.
Hovering over, midnight the stars Speak to me, losing direction The energy, will be guiding you not lost, forever Stored inside the memories The place where memories Replay and Release the powerful surge Fall into the deepest Of frozen trances You are absorbing the materia you once had within you You start to regain your consciousness Awoken from this endless trance Numb from all of these hopeless nightmares Only to realize this is emptiness x2 These Memories, replay These images turn into vapor These memories (get them out of my head) These memories These memories (get them out of my head) They’re on repeat!

about

The band's debut EP “Throne Of Sanity”, released by record label Violent Groove (Deathember, God Mother, Lost Domain), is a concept EP that tackles the hard topics of being left out, isolation and losing your mind. Is someone possessing you or are all the actions you do your own? The protagonist fights his own thoughts, or the so called “false gods” and goes postal. He stands victorious, but he feels no joy, he regrets everything. Left alone with all his deeds on his mind he is wandering the plains and further floating between time and space, not knowing what is real or not.
