Empire Land – Lyrics:
With secret signs and ritual, the world above has gone below.
See history wears so many masks, the shadow world remains undead.
All eyes that see, a synchronicity, cascading thoughts and memories.
These hidden times, the dark mystery, symbols that live among machines
So here we are in empire land, the glow, the grime that never ends.

Sleepwalkers – Lyrics:
Burnin' up against the sky.
a scraping inferno forever frozen lies.
Towers turned to dust before our eyes.
Sleepwalkers, will they wake? Sleepwalkers, are we too late?
Mockingbird media makes a play.
Pulling at your heartstrings, deceptively betrays.
Taking us deeper into all the rage.
Truth is always in plain sight.
Who has the motive?
Who benefits the most?
These are the things you know they just can't hide.
The 21st century had arrived.
The war on terror era by stagecraft and design.
These are the things you know they just can't hide.

Starless Skies – Lyrics:
We were side by side, well take a look at us now.
When distance is an ocean, you see your pain realized.
In the sinking aftermath, the echoes flood your mind.
Was it all an illusion to take us on a ride?
Starless skies are overhead.
The falling dark is here again.
On a silent stage we wear a mask in doubt.
We've had our share of blame, so what's the point of it now?
You've uncovered all the details, the secrets speak out loud.
History's full of half-truths, when we look around.
There's something about this world that I think you should know.
There's no escaping, there's no erasing all the things that we hold.
There's something about this world that we have to let go.

Flood Your Heart – Lyrics:
Stripped from the scene, a faceless change.
The colors, the noise, such a heavy space.
For darkness invisible, a light will be saved.
With fallen eyes, we'll look far beyond this place.
Flood aftershocks. Flood through your heart.
What have you seen? The sacred and profane.
The edge of life, a sudden shocking state.
All this time, masking memories awake.
With fallen eyes, we'll look far beyond this place.

Days Of Zero – Lyrics:
So you think what you see in this world is real.
Hidden hands sell a scene so you can feel.
A silent war that's closing in, the secret ways deception lives.
You know those stolen days are here.
Those Days of Zero.
A hall of mirrors plays pretend.
Stripped down to the exploits in the end.
Carving out these fragile times, system schemes and sabotage.
You know those stolen days are here.

Known Wolves – Lyrics:
Gaslighting all of us with dark Orwellian schemes.
Falling for illusions, agitprop and staged scenes.
Mind assaults, plots programmed and terror avatars.
Tied to security and Gladio-style cults.
Known wolves by design, known wolves from inside.
Crisis cast, tragedy, red herrings and false leads.
Psychological warfare, secret armies to deceive.
Media driven, mass trauma and whitewashed crime scenes.
The spectre of intelligence, a cloaked conspiracy.

Coat Of Arms – Lyrics:
Feel the crawl of time.
As the myth of Aon (All or Nothing) nears.
The lessons of our lives are intertwined.
Complicated years, living inside fear.
You have to break the spell it's all designed.
Symbols signaling, deep-seated mastery.
Right before your eyes these are the times
Revolutions steal, masked by false ideals.
A coat of arms controls the paradigm.

Colder Years – Lyrics:
An emptiness to close to see.
Remember how things used to be.
At times were met with false belief.
Those colder years hold everything.
The stage was set to play the part.
Vacant schemes the threat of war.
Propped up lies propel the scene.
Those colder years hold everything.

These are not songs for the dance club. An energetic medium tempo darkwave for walking the dark streets. Pulling the collar of your coat up to stave off a bracing wind. A grey and bleak musical tone offset by the courage of Alex Virlios vocals that cover a wide range and spew forth challenge to cast light on the sullen path.
