lyrics

Move, move,
as the Master commands,
so move,
you know the Master is mute,
move, move
move with fear and together
as if you were dancing to satisfy...
the eye of The One.

Dignity is falling with every blink
of the Tower of The One!

Bow down! I must feel the truth
about my destiny, and ingest my medicine.

Rise up! ‘cause I must feel the load,
the annoying beam of light shining from the door,
shining through the Lens.

The lies pushing down my head
can’t pervert this blood
lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.

Furiously I’ll resist!
From this tiny uncovered nest I’ll fly away.
Furiously I’ll resist!
From the awkward skin I wear
from the sight of the Tower of The One!

Prisoner: I’m waiting for the moment
I’ll stand above you and watch you bow
your head to me
I won’t be kind,
you won’t have (my) pity.

I just obey... the rules
of Panopticon.

Too long, too long
our pain inside without chains
beneath your eyes.

The One: calm down and take a look through the lens
it makes you bigger and me smaller
but you know that’s false.

Prisoner: yes, the lens I’m going to shatter now!
Look at me now... everything has started
and everything will be complete.

From this tiny uncovered nest I’ll fly away
Furiously I’ll resist!
From the awkward skin I wear
from the sight of the Tower of The One!

I don't know why, but this album sounds like the System Of A Down of Progressive Metal to me (in a good way). Something different, diverse, with highly melodic parts and awesome vocals. Love this. UbuntuStudioUser

This album is wonderful and her voice is very sweet and the melodies match her voice very well. Beautiful personal project! Would you have the Physical Album? Hello here from Brazil. raunitarquiniomuniz
