METAPRISM LYRICS

1. Decryption

2. Firesoul

Down falls the frozen sky
Dreamchaser lost within the mind
Without your cloying innocence I can live again
Without your suffocation I can breathe again
She was nothing without anger
Innocence that's broken

The mirror shows your fear

[Chorus:]
There is a firesoul and
(A firesoul)
It is the heart
(Heart of the winter storm)
Warrior haunting the dreams of
Winter sleep and snow
Only the winter can
[Break the firesoul]

Now falls the frozen skies
It's not the end without the fight
I take your suffering and feed it to the flames
I take your beating heart and force it to remain
Endless dark will be your solace
Night will be unbroken

And now it ends right here

[Chorus]

You fight for all your natural life
Two forces collide in deadlocked, stalemated rage
The perfect paradigm
Pushing forward to break free of these restraints now
Held down, forced down
For nonconformity
Held down, forced down
For nonconformity
Freezing the shards of revenge
To control chaos is to deny one’s self
We’ll stoke the fires of revenge
A war of legend, a feast for the crows
Unleashed elemental might

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

Warrior haunting the dreams of
Winter sleep and snow
Only the winter can
[Break the firesoul]

[Chorus]

There is a firesoul and
(Firesoul)
It is the heart
(Heart of the winter storm)
The fire in your heart
I am weakened by it

3. Erase Mortality

A shadow is growing inside your mind
And it gets stronger with every lie
I can't relate or forsake
Any memories that cross over time

You did not see how we ran
You were not part of it
Out in the fields by command
Forced not to challenge it

In the fallout we face it alone
Crossing the last land of the fallen

Now as you pinwheel over the edge
And the rush begins

[Chorus:]
Erase mortality
Beckoning on the brink of eternity
Nowhere to run when all is said and done
Embrace reality
Crashing down as control abandons me
We're overcome when all is said and done

With transition we lack re-enactment
No need to live through the past to extract it
I hear tremors within your battle cry

Although you don't understand
We're forced to bury it
Don't turn away
Though you can't stomach it

Trying hard to erase all the fear
That brought us alone to the land of the fallen

So as you pinwheel over the edge
And the rush begins

[Chorus]

Cast into the abyss

Carnage migrating to repaint the atlas
Locusts of gain, scarring the face of the world
Armageddon nears with the threat of judgement
Maiming for profit repackaged as conscience
Spreading the lie, lest we question ourselves

It’s all that we know
Turning from truth
Is all that we’ve ever known

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus]

4. Resistance

Enter the final staging of a war of great renown
Turning lessons into learned
All in silence
Raging on as the unease gains, bringing discord round to death
Subjugation torn to shreds
All with one hand

Only violence breeds without dignity
There’s no foreign land
Worth fighting for
Opposition treat
Fighting back we’re met
There’s no turning back

Hold your nerve, and pay attention

[Chorus:]
You see me running ahead
Don’t fall behind
Do not make a sound
Make no sound
As the night grows cold
This resistance is taking hold

Taking damage along with names, bringing honour to our dead
Never once does the revolution
Look like failing
We’ll cleave a path directly to heart of the war machine
Tear it from its heaving chest
Still beating

Carried on by our positivity
We’re taking back this land
And we’ll wipe it clean
Treat aggressors with
Extreme prejudice
There’s no turning back

Hold your nerve and pay attention

[Chorus]

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus 2x]

5. Reload

If you would stand by a mirror
Would you be staring at reflections of a man?
Or do you see the shackles holding back
The beast writhing from within you to be aloud
To take a stand against the virus that is growing from our ignorance and violence?

[Chorus:]
Run from the eye of the storm
That only builds to decimate what we have made
We will light the fire that wasn't there before
I'll find a way to make them
Stop to reload
And we can learn to fight this change
Turn the hands of fate
But when you've let the wolves in by the open door
There's a war that cannot be ignored

If you would trust all deceivers
If you allow them to dictate the ways of life
If you were born a believer
Then you are falling in subordination and strife
I'll find a way to fight the virus that is growing from our ignorance and violence

[Chorus]

You're my lie to hide behind your defenses
Breaking alliance

Rise and fight, we're facing annihilation
Protect the open core, regroup for the offense
We've stared into the void, our barricades destroyed
This violent rebirth, fear unleashed
To raze, decimate
And conquer all in our way
Retake our fate
Re-arming to escape

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

Drones of hate
Provoking a wrath to stand for the ages
Born of hate
We'll never give in or fade away

[Chorus]

[All lyrics by Theresa Smith & Jut Tabor]

6. Needles Of Light And Shame

Open your eyes
As the darkness threatens to engulf you
Serrated shafts of light give lie to painless hope Remains of ancient joy, just ashes in this void
No more pride to break
Resigned to the will of fate

Take hold and dare to hope again

I’m stretching out my fingers
I’ve heard the endless cries pleading for salvation
You’ve got to realise
I can’t stop the pain inside
You’re desiccating needlessly
Constrained by chains that I can’t see

And now this darkness lingers on

[Chorus:]
Reach and take your salvation, don’t let this recourse abate
Withstand these needles of light and shame
Emerge from the shade

Take hold and dare to hope again
Take hold, drain this abscess of fear within

Wildly grasping for this last retracting line
One chance to save myself, and to reclaim my life

Vision recedes in needles of light
Don’t leave me here screaming for death
I’ve found the will to put up a fight
I break this surface and draw my breath

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus]

7. Nebula

I came from a fallen reign
In my world there's no hope without anger
I'm bound to the fallen land
Held fighting without the answers

I was too late to be winning you over with lies
I was too late to revise all the tactics
I was too weak to defend the empire of the skies
I was too late to repair all the tears

Obsession
Addicted to the carnage insertion
Waiting for the sign
Who will save my soul
I'm not fighting for you
Who will save my soul

[Chorus:]
Revolutionise the goal
As you infiltrate my soul I'm rising
(And rise)
There's a force that's leading on
To a journey no one's yet begun
Evolution and the soul
There is nothing more to know or desire
Within the nebula I'm falling
Far from where you are
(Far from where you are)

Assigned with a warning sign
Here prior to the end of your lifeline
You can't run as the curse arises
You're fighting to find the answers

I was too late to be winning you over with lies
I was too late to revise all the tactics
I was too weak to defend the empire of the skies
I was too late to repair all the tears

Obsession
Addicted to the carnage insertion
Waiting for the sign
Who will save my soul
I'm not fighting for you
Who will save my soul

Wave on crashing wave deflected vigilantly
You’ll never bring us down
Temper your hate, intent to dominate
We’ll overcome all
We’ll light the skies with thunderous return Shielding our eyes as all oppressors burn
Your crushed legions disperse
The dawn of our rebirth

Revolutionise the goal
As you infiltrate my soul

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

Evolution and the soul
There is nothing more to know or desire
Within the nebula I'm falling
Far from where you are
(Far from where you are)

8. Pulse

Now in dexterity we see
The gulf between us honestly
They never left you alone you were given
Everything to make it right
There's not a conscience left clean in our proximity
We are gods that see, we are the energy

Without cause, without empathy
There's light that forges clarity
They would do anything to take away our legacy
When our signs collide we believe in a destiny that
Brings us falling down

You're signal, you're breaking out
As we lie waiting for them to come
Your rush of conscience has come too late
We feel the pulse reverberate

[Chorus:]
This is the one we've been waiting for all of our lives
Protagonists raising defiance within our lives
This is the moment where all that was broken should rise
But we don't know your mind

Corruption and malcontent betrayed our sovereignty
Beyond all reasonable doubt our courage resonates
With a cry of melancholic grief, we turned our backs on the sun
We hide behind a screen to fight normality

Bowed from the burden, lashed with hope
A vision hewn from stone
Fractured foundations begin to shake
Raising arms within the wake

[Chorus]

We’re reaping the crops you’ve sown with aggression
In the midst of defiance
The broken veneer - will shift and degrade
Baring the steel within

Faith strengthening as the sum multiplies in resolve
Eyes fixed upon distant light; bolstered ranks will rise

[Chorus]

The broken born to rise

[Chorus]

9. Here I Stand

I shut the door
Tomorrow takes all the blame
If you're choosing to walk away
I wont look back, I wont fight to stay
I never wanted to but I believed you
And left alone I can't see you
Through the shadows around me

I see the contamination of all that we had
I see the death of our innocence
Before we reach damnation
Here I am (Here I am)

[Chorus:]
Here I stand I live
Maybe it's the end of the line
I can't handle it but I'd give
Anything I could just to try
Look at my hands, they bleed
For you I'm crossing over the line
And though these words
Have said that you must leave
I still believe

I wont pretend no more
We win this or we will lose
I never wanted to rely on you
Can I believe there's something to reach to?
I never said that I deceived you
You're my last breath your
The one I'd fight for, one worth staring a war

I see the contamination of all that we had
I see the death of our innocence
Before we reach damnation
Here I am (Here I am)

[Chorus]

Although I live
There's nothing left to feel
But if there's something to fight for
The answer's here with you

Here I stand with nothing left to give
Blood, sweat, tears, desire fades
Don't look back
I cannot help but think it's not supposed to be this way

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus to fade out]

10. Only The Last

Shattered defences I would not listen
I broke the silence of your remission
Relentless bloodshed born of the sea
Communion standing defenceless
I've not forgotten, I will awaken
But far away there is a blood red dawn that's waiting to break

Bury your riches, make ready arms
For there's one way that they will pursue
Without defiance saying that we can resume
A savage raid to advance the claim
With blood and flame

[Chorus:]
Where are you hiding now
(Blood, flame)
What are you looking for
Are you fighting back
(Take, aim)
Or are you taking more
More than you need
Do you fight for what you stand to lose
(Fight, fight)
Only the last will choose

They won’t withstand us they are outspoken
And without cause or need this land is broken
Appropriated soil for the reap, cultivating descendants
Mercian elite revolt to claim our weakness
But on this day we stand remembered for the rest of time

Bury your riches, make ready arms
For there's one way that they will pursue
Without defiance saying that we can resume
A savage raid to advance the claim
With blood and flame

We’ll forge a legend that will last forever
A chronicle - deep as the bloodstained roots
This line that cannot be severed
Begins today - only the last will choose

[Solo by Ben Ellis]

[Chorus]

11. Deceive The Afterlife

[Chorus:]
Do you think you're fooling the afterlife
Do you take the chance to deceive
The oppressed to succeed come alive
We are the fortunate we are the fire
We're the key with the power
Of everlasting life

Fade out the light, that draws us to expect dominion
I could tear you apart if I was led by anyone
You don't command us, no one controls us
We set no limits to our origination

Submit and leave your soul in my tenure
I wont leave you empty handed
From this throne I've seen your approaching end
And I'm finding resolve in a place of dark revelation.

Conveyed in structured lines
Anticipating a punishment or reprieve
The masses equalised
Trepidatious - of their last release

[Chorus]

Have you laid waste to a life with seldom clarity
Ethereal I’m called to rebirth my serenity
The birth of chaos, we command the pathos
No longer liable we’re losing redemption

Submit and leave your soul in my tenure
I’m not lost to my own senses
From this throne I've seen your approaching end
Are we losing our way in amongst the dark intervention

Conveyed in structured, pathetic lines
The masses are equalised

This fleeting life
Existing in thrall to the all-unifying truth of mortality
In the headlong rush toward the ever-darkening abyss
Life is punctuated with the question
Why?

There is no time to make a stand for exposition
We grow as the flesh decays
Enter the silent grave and leave your woes behind
It’s your only right

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus]

12. Arcadia

I take no solace from your inclination
The world we lose to a mechanical race
I'll take the stars from the constellation
We are losing, we are broken

We are born to be slaves
We take no comfort from freedom
This life we take
But we're not living without limits that we're pushing to break

[Chorus:]
Into the darkness watch as we descend
This world given to be our own
Our redemption wasn't there to breach
Arcadia
Our own desire endless in design
Anything not to be left alone
This world lacks our suffering
No savior

Write your legacy upon the wall
If nothing else remains we leave behind our indecision
We were unbound but we built our prison
Now we can't reach our fallen

We are born to be slaves
We take no comfort from freedom
This life we take
But we're not living without limits that we're pushing to break

[Chorus]

Now
We never gave a damn
Continued without fear
The chances of our failure here were ever near

[Solo by Ollie Roberts]

[Chorus]
