UNIVERSUM LYRICS

1. Leto Destinatus

What a slap in the face
Whiplash! Never saw the impact
Can he see their life?
Fall before his eyes

Hell no
Justify this pain
Drained and dropped, now it's all over
In his eyes a dead man's gaze on fire

This life so great
Who ever knew it could end so fast
But surely there's another way?
This building rage, I feel it's going to explode

Now time rolls by
The cracks emerge, breaking down another moment
Now, one more time
In this life no one ever wanted this

I know I will find you someday
Take you from this world
You will always fear and
I can't free you

He stalks at night
Weaving through the shadows of daylight
Everyone hates the lies
How well do you know him?
If his spirit's broken he'd accept it alright
But his will won't let it lie
And it will never collapse

I know I will find you someday
Take you from this world
You will always fear and
I can't free you

I say, look in my mind
See the wreckage buried deep inside

And now I see you walking right by
It's well known you'll never be left alone
And I was the one that you were falling for
That life I adored
I refuse to let anybody love you
I refuse to let anybody love you

A mistake to hurt me
I never wanted this for you
I see now I was used
We never had a chance to waste

Now we spread to the world with this darkness within
Shed a tear for no one, a cold so deep inside
It would block out the sun, no light for no one
A mental void, damaging everything
I can't hold my sanity

[Solo: M. Soininen]

And now I see you walking right by
It's well known you'll never be left alone
And I was the one that you were falling for
That life I adored

Stand high in this troubled mind
Fall to pieces with every moment
Stand high in this thoughtless life
We're never moving on

2. Day Of Redemption

Come all you fiends and swine
Another life passes by this time
Claim redemption in a new religion
Crossing over to the other side

What's your halo doing in this dirt field?
You're waiting for something
Praying it's alright

I'm praying for everything in this life
Pieces of me, you're taking away
Whatever I say, whatever I do
My life is falling away

Systems crashing
Eternal misery if you like
I wanted far more

For ever and now
You pray for me
I'll pray for you
I choose not to hide, but to be a man
Don't jeopardise future lives for cheap values
Pray for me, I'll pray for you

Come all you filth and pain
Another life passes by this time
Claim redemption in a new religion
Crossing over to the other side

Claim redemption in a new religion
Crossing over to the other side

What's your halo doing in this dirt field?
You're waiting for something
Praying it's alright

I'm praying for everything in this life
Pieces of me, you're taking away
Whatever I say, whatever I do
My life is falling away

Systems are crashing
There's no cure for this bitter taste
My fight, you break

It's all I had
For ever and now
You pray for me
I'll pray for you
I choose not to hide, but to be a man
Don't jeopardise future lives for cheap values
Pray for me, I'll pray for you

[Lead: M. Soininen]

I'd rather see you buried alive
Another lie, we peel away
Show me something, give us hope
Or be the next strung up to waste
I will live for nothing else
Absorb the lies and twisted filth
I'm falling, we're all falling
Another day in this lifeless pull

[Lead: M. Soininen]

I'm searching for something in this life
Pieces of me, you're taking away
Whatever I say, whatever I do
My life is falling away

3. Disconnected

Who'll give you a picture of your life?
Supplying the rage to burn
Fragments of nothing, no meaning, no light
Lock it tighter in your mind

You'll systematically process more lies
Drown the life deep in your mind
They die staring at you
Indifferent to what you're screaming about

I have no answers this time
So many times I'll watch you fall
I'll see it one more time
Giving up on you is closing the door

You'll drop this time
On the tight rope of life, you're walking blind
Fall back, last breath
Meet the man, it's time to shine

Who'll give you a picture of your life?
Eternal rage to burn
You've got nothing, no meaning, no light
Twisted, locked inside your mind

Your calculating resides this time
Accepting the voice this one last time
Life skewed to the side
Not caring to know what I'm screaming about

So many times you tried to realise
That everything in time will be just fine
But I can't see the path when tears blur my sight
Please heal my plight

I have no answers this time
So many times I'll watch you fall
I'll see it one more time
Giving up on you is closing the door

You'll drop this time
On the tight rope of life, you're walking blind
Fall back, last breath
Meet the man, it's time to shine

Pessimism's the creature hiding deep within your mind
Dissatisfaction purports to waste away your time
We've got to fight for the keys to unlock our life
Accept the task hold on tight

Fight this fight
Just to prove you own your life
Don't let integrity fall on blind eyes
Tear through the shattered remains

have no answers this time
So many times I'll watch you fall
I'll see it one more time
Giving up on you is closing the door

You'll drop this time
On the tight rope of life, you're walking blind
Fall back, last breath
Meet the man, it's time to shine

[Lead: M. Soininen]

I want to show you everything
This love we live in, can you feel it?
Reach out and take it, there's no limit
Flood your soul with inner healing

Honour your being, you're so perfect
It takes all types to make this earth spin
You, are you real?
Yes, you're real
It's all real

4. Solitude

[Instrumental]

"Deep in a mind of haunting shadows
Loss and silence keep away the sleep
Drifting through the sacred moments
And emotional scars cut so deep
Filtering the fragments of time
Contemplating all to be left behind
Consumed and cold, I lay awake
With nothing more now
Than a plan for the great escape..."

5. Damage

As this day unfolds I'll cease to exist
I'm losing control and you, you're turning away
How can you explain that I'll mean more to you when I'm missed?
I'm bleeding in pain as you leave me to go through this

Falling away, the connection torn
Misplaced existence, I'm alone
Everything is set to end today
Fading away, the damage is done
Desperation grips, life is undone
There was always a time when it would end this way

Everything I ever was is gone
Finally my soul can breathe
Was there any point to the damage done?
Was it time for me to leave?

Falling away, the connection torn
Misplaced existence, I'm alone
Everything is set to end today
Fading away, the damage is done
Desperation grips, life is undone
There was always a time when it would end this way

[Lead: M. Soininen]
[Lead: S. Murphy]

6. Invisible Scars

Glimpse into a new life
Cut through darkest nights
Guardian of truths
It's my keeper

Like the flames of a dying star
My memories are fading
Understanding who you are
I live for no one

Desire and determination
Hartfelt desperation
It's time to wake up from your lies

Now you're breathing new life
Through clarity of mind
Walk without fear
I can stand alone

Like the flames of a dying star
My memories are fading
Understanding who you are
I live for no one

And I feel
Like you're the one who makes it
So real
As feelings unfold, I'll take it all

[Lead: M. Soininen]
[Lead: S. Murphy]
[Lead: M. Soininen]
[Lead: S. Murphy]

Well I've suffered
For no reason than to ease your pain
It cuts deeper
Deeper than before

Like the flames of a dying star
My memories are fading
Understanding who you are
I live for no one

And I feel
Like you're the one who makes it
So real
As feelings unfold, I'll take it all

Now I'm breathing new life
Through clarity of mind
Walk without fear
I can stand alone

7. War Of Ages

Changing minds like the wind
I'm forever blaming you
That time dissolves to emptiness
It's spiraling inwards
The windows into the unknown
Captures this moment
Sometimes we find that we want to see
This is our story

Yes I give my life to you
A memory in waiting
Cataclysmic clash of the gods
This is the war of ages

With simple contemplation
I find the complex
No more my will
But the way it will be
Relentless searching
This is self realisation
And I know nothing

Show me all that you have lost
It's time to show your colours
Fail to see the light from the dark
Now I grant you freedom

[Lead: M. Soininen]

Yes I give my life to you
A memory in waiting
Cataclysmic clash of the gods
This is the war of ages
Yes I give my life to you
A memory in waiting
Cataclysmic clash of the gods
This is the war of ages

[Lead: M. Soininen]

8. False Paradigm

It's as though we can't believe
That our earth will ever come to an end
And with our insatiable taste for failure
Regeneration never a chance to begin

Intellect surrendered to desire and greed
Humanity has become earth's disease
With only everything to regret now
As this world comes crashing down

Down, as we shut our eyes and turn away
Drowning deep in this slow state of decay
Blinded and conceited, self justified
As another earth bleeds and dies

And still we can not believe
That our earth is bleeding to an end
Still trapped in a state of negation
Until the beginning of the end

To ourselves we perpetuate this lie
Blackened artifacts remain in our minds
And now we wonder how
The whole world came crashing down

Down, as we shut our eyes and turned away
No remorse, we laid our earth to waste
Shame, blinded and conceited
As earth bleeds and dies

Evolution, a fabled illusion
Humanity's self annihilation
We fall, toward the sun
Burning in ignorance, it brings us down
Our ignorance apparent now
How?
Our ignorance burns us down

Well I'm waiting for us to learn but I'm walking in circles
I'm waiting, why don't we learn? We're going nowhere
I'm waiting! Yet we're still walking in circles
Well I'm waiting, why don't we learn?
What the fuck is wrong with us?

Evolution, a fabled illusion
Humanity's self annihilation
We fall, toward the sun
Burning in ignorance, it brings us down
Our ignorance apparent now
How?
Our ignorance burns us down

9. Zero

Closing in the skies of grey
Celestial winds will take me
Floating in between two worlds
Caught in the ethereal

All I have ever said and done
Has let to this point in my life
Now as I reach for the truth
It's time to say goodbye

Fire upon me
I will kill you
You'll go down this time
Told what to do
Told what to say
So take it as the truth
What lies?

Screams paralysed by absolution
You are free from nothing
Make the ultimate sacrifice
All you love left behind

You've been called to take the blame
Come on forth and feed the flame
Another pawn in the big men's game
We'll roll this dice, there's no shame

Bloodied heroes on parade
Death and carnage on display
Count the ones who chose to stay
All of this amounts to zero!

Colours splay the sky
Screams paint the night
An eye for an eye

Meet your maker
You're a number
You're not missed
Just a count of the crime

Take a look, we're the walking dead
Transient existence

If I was to die, would you die for me?
If I was to die, would you die for me?
Would you die for me?

Celestial winds will take me
Floating in between two worlds
Caught in the ethereal

All I have ever said and done
Has let to this point in my life
Now as I reach for the truth
It's time to say goodbye

Fire upon me
I will kill you
You'll go down this time
Told what to do
Told what to say
So take it as the truth
What lies?

Screams paralysed by absolution
You are free from nothing
Make the ultimate sacrifice
All you love left behind

You've been called to take the blame
Come on forth and feed the flame
Another pawn in the big men's game
We'll roll this dice, there's no shame

Bloodied heroes on parade
Wounds and carnage on display
Count the ones who chose to stay
All of this amounts to zero!

10. Faded

Look into your past, what can you see?
Lack of reprisal
Walked upon as though you don't exist
Call out to no one

Light shines through, transparent as my pain
Darkness in my eyes
Soulless, fragile, broken mortal frame
The ending of life

Reach inside to find that place of real
Take me from hell to freedom
Transcend the pool of broken dreams
Walking from the shadows

Break me, hate you
What do you find when you turn this stone?
Like me, I'm like you
Does this make you a better man?
You've broken my mind
Has it taken you there?

Moments of clarity pierce the hollow
Living from the shadows
Exposing all to all who care
Repressed by times gone by

Torn within, scars of the mind
Frail, with each new layer
In me I trust, in you I find
Nothing but betrayal

Reach inside to find that place of real
Take me from hell to freedom
Transcend the pool of broken dreams
Walking from the shadows

Break me, hate you
What do you find when you turn this stone?
Like me, I'm like you
Does this make you a better man?
You've broken my mind
Has it taken you there?

[Lead: M. Soininen]
[Lead: S. Murphy]

Reach inside to find that place of real
Take me from hell to freedom
Transcend the pool of broken dreams
Walking from the shadows

Break me, hate you
What do you find when you turn this stone?
Like me, I'm like you
Does this make you a better man?
You've broken my mind
Has it taken you there?

11. Black Logic

Thrashing through all that is me
Stranglehold on my soul
Blinded by this self driven machine
The burnt, frayed ends of control

Why do I feel obliged to such enmity?
A faithless, perfidious being
Through all the years, such allegiance to me
There's emptiness within

Screaming, running from times gone by
Another turn in this lifeless life
I'm further from my field of dreams
Temptation has won this time

Puncture my soul with sordid angst
As I fade away from the real I find
Washing away with this amber of mine
Numbing decay of the drowning mind

Strength pulled from the raging depths of my hate
Replacing my weakness and fear
Born from this, the force you see in me
Your injustice is near

Piece by piece, rebuilt upon tragedy
Transformed by retribution
Ever evolving sense of worthiness
Vengeance will be ruthless

Screaming, running from times gone by
Another turn in this lifeless life
I'm closer to my field of dreams
Temptation has lost this time

Mending my soul with the sweet of revenge
As I realise the real I find
Pouring away all this amber of mine
Faithless!
No more do I feel this time

[Lead: M. Soininen]

Screaming, running from times gone by
Another turn in this lifeless life
I'm closer to my field of dreams
Temptation has lost this time

Healing my soul with the sweet of revenge
As I realise the real I find
Pouring away all this amber of mine
Faithless!
No more do I feel this time

12. Misery Cell

Reaching out for something more, something else
Listening in silence from within this shell
Trapped as this futile life turns to hell
Last page of the final chapter, blank to read

Is this destiny locked in time?
Another bearing grinding, grinding to nothing
Can't challenge this sequence locked inside
I close my eyes and search within

With each day I dissipate
And die a bit, searching inside
I can't cross the line
This psychologic mind
I won't allow it
No, I won't allow it!

Search deeper for something more, something else
Reaching out from within this shell
Trapped as this shit turns to hell
The last page of this final chapter rips

Another life dissolved in time
Another bearing grinding, grinding to nothing
A locked in sequence of self destruction
I rupture

As everyday falls far away
I can't take it
I won't return
And it feels like the struggle is ending

Prepared in the darkest shades of light
A challenge of mind to do or die
Can't do anything at all

With each day I dissipate
And die a bit, searching inside
I can't cross the line
This psychologic mind

I've lost myself to misery
I can't use your sympathy
I won't allow it
No, I won't allow it!

As everyday falls far away
I can't take it
I won't return
And it feels like the struggle is ending

[Lead: M. Soininen]

I stay for a higher day
But each is one, and one of the same
This misery cell of mind
Keeps the demons inside

As the event horizon pulls me in
The black hole of life, my creation, my sin
And driving internal forces of decreation
Blinded by this darkness

Leeches take hold and let bleed
As the light of life leaves without me
And take flight on the machines of eternity
With blood dripping from these fucking wings

As everyday falls far away
I can't take it
I won't return
And it feels this struggle has ended

13. Ignite The Subconscious

There once was a place I used to live
Emotionless, cold, void and nil
Dejected by the places I used to want to go
So many years have broken me down

And I never said this life lived far away
Inside seeks strength, but that memory has drowned
To pass you by in this backwards life

We are created
Specifically for your entertainment
This is termination

It's just another life
It's just another life

Reflect on yesterdays
Another sober moment
I am the fool of my own game
I've broken up over social taunts
And stay a victim in my own world

Today is the end of it all
If I'm going to break
It would be for something better than this
I'll stand no matter if I'm to trip

Did you feel like you're worth nothing?
These days will come to an end

Do you feel unloved?
Is there something weighing on your mind?
It's all gathering dust
That's where it lays, all by your side

[Lead: T. Laisto]

Today is the end of it all
If I'm going to break
It would be for something better than this
I'll stand no matter if I'm to trip

And everything is great
Yes fucking great

And I never said this life lived far away
Inside seeks strength, but that memory has drowned
To pass you by in this backwards life

We are created
Specifically for your entertainment
This is termination

Now it's time to die
