Morts Dramatic and dark, this is progressive metal that kicks ass and keeps the listener riveted! You won't find self-indulgent, wanky passages of random notes belted out at jarring tempo changes and melody is not sacrificed to heaviness for the sake of being heavy! Bloody excellent!! Favorite track: Empty Mirror.

Empty Mirror 05:23
I thought that I could save myself, That I could do no wrong, Delusion, disappointment? I couldn't be that strong. Lying to myself that I Could change the way the things are, There was no fear only weakness, Yet there was no truth so far. Pre-chorus: Stumbling all around, Crawling on the ground, Won't you help me, Lord!? Chorus: Once I reached into my soul, I tried to find my aim, my goal, But emptiness I've faced, and coldness all around. I tried to find, the whole new me, I tried to build up long lost dream, I cried for an echo, but there was not a sound! And only thing that I could do, Was staying blind for me and you, And only thing that I could see, Were tons of bricks in front of me! I remained alone in darkness Of my anxiety and disbelief, Grieving cause of loneliness, And lonely cause of grief! Pre-chorus: Stumbling all around, Crawling on the ground, Won't you help me, Lord!? Chorus: Once I reached into my soul, I tried to find my aim, my goal, But emptiness I've faced, and coldness all around. I tried to find, the whole new me, I tried to build up long lost dream, I cried for an echo, but there was not a sound! Overwhelmed by self denial, An empty mirror in my eyes, My odds are weak, a second against forevermore!

The Sleeper 06:28
Voice's fading, all colors turn to grey, Feeling numb, I'm sinking deeper and deeper. And deep within myself, as I drift away, The vivid dream - I awaken the Sleeper! Pre-chorus: I'm falling, I'm falling, from the other side you're calling, I reach for your hand, as the story keeps unfolding! Chorus: All those years that left behind, Rush in seconds through my mind, There's no way back anymore, Never been scared like this before. You can choose now! (No!) There is a way! (There is no way!) Just stay smothered by yourself! (Stay there!) (When it hurts - it's safe!). Where madness dwells, where madness reigns, And never again you will see the light of day. Open your eyes, and come back to the light! (No - it can harm you!), This is your last goodnight! (Here madness reigns…) Pre-chorus: I'm falling, I'm falling, from the other side you're calling, I reach for your hand, as the story keeps unfolding! Chorus: All those years that left behind, Rush in seconds through my mind, There's no way back anymore, Never been scared like this before. And as I face my hollow shell, This is a path I know so well, The less I move, the less I feel, But I do know I'm on my knees. I cannot move, I try so hard, A distant light, a little too far, Just one last shot, one last time, And soon I'll leave it all behind. Pre-chorus: I fall, I crawl, from the other side - your call! I reach for your hand, and the mystery is solved! Chorus: All those years that left behind, Now I see through different eyes, And as the night comes to an end, I know, I’ll never be scared again! I cannot move, I try so hard, A distant light, a little too far, Just one last shot - one last time, And finally - I open my eyes!

I open my eyes and what can I see? Where is the promised land they all talked about? All they offer is a masquerade and travesty, If only I could skip this yellow brick roundabout … In my final act of respect and honesty, I know that I'm about to find the easy way out. You don't get what you prayed for, You only get what you paid for! The shapes and forms - I somehow don't fit in, The strange faces - we've got nothing in common! Giving up my whole life until I give in, Paying with my soul to all the evil spirits I summoned! The storm hits hard the fortress walls, New power's rising, reality falls! Leaving behind this empty shell, I thought that I could save myself, From myself!
