Qandisha 04:31
Threatening footsteps fall Break the silence Toxic fragrance, slightly sweet, with a notion of decay Treacherous, ghostly dark, an adumbration Hush my heart, here she comes The deadliest of all she seeks, she sees, she finds And no, she knows No, no, no, she grabs me consume me, seduce me Only your gaze can set me free Indulge me your deathful charm your gaze, your grace I want to drown in your secrets Be the creature at the end of her strings Effortlessly squashing me Drags me under Acid gore, torrid breath, It burns into my skin Cloudy eyes, hypnotized, drain my senses Gather strength, holding on, not yielding to the force She loves, her frenzied games Her lies, she loves, she loves She loves the might consuming, disturbing Only your gaze can set me free Indulge me your deadly charm your gaze, your grace I want to drown in your secrets Be the creature at the end of your strings But when she‘s dancing, she moves like a queen And those who see will never sleep

The End 05:33
People talk and pretend To be someone they're not To be civilized, And never get caught Everyone's so ashamed To admit what they are A pile of meat and need Beautiful and bizarre They draw like spiders Their webs and their lies They trick each other Till their demise So let me give you A piece of advice Trust no one, not yourself, That's suicide Watch as all men die The end of all humankind They don't even realize They're killing themselves, believing their lies They don't even know why They think they do, that's how they get by They don't even realize They're killing themselves, believing their own lies It's always the same Since the beginning of time They play the same game Same rules still apply They now use other tools, They wear their fake smiles Acting as your friends, But you can see in their eyes They lust for your blood Your sweat and your tears They make you addicted To their world of fear You need their acceptance Their lies and their dreams It's too late for you You can't hear your own screams When it's all said and done And ashes cover their sacred stones Ghosts will haunt this land Scream as their old bodies turn to sand When it's all said and done And ashes cover their sacred stones Ghosts will haunt this land Scream as their old bodies turn to sand

Heartless 05:50
Lost in the dark I found myself Broken apart I made no sense Going no where Getting lost in the way I found something rare A place to stay I won’t give it away - no I will never come back Lost in the darkness I found myself I've become heartless Away from the Sun Away from life Where it all begun All the sacrifice I won't give it away - no I will never come back Lost in the darkness I found myself I've become heartless Lost my soul Away from it all! I will never come back Lost in the darkness I found myself I've become heartless I will never come back Lost in the darkness I found myself I've become heartless

I've been to heaven, been to hell I tried to break my own spell But somehow I ended up here Tangled in the chains I've built myself I feel their weight, I feel their cold Passing through my bones, into my soul And still I keep walking, Without a clue where to go Lost in the dark, I stand alone, Feel the shadows around Craving my crown and throne I'm bleeding out, there's not much more that I can give I know I'm fading away But still I play this never ending game Knowing it ends just the same Same place, the same mistake A broken record playing in my head Running in circles, chasing tails, But I'm losing the wind in my sails Yeah, Tell me, is there any way out From this tangled long maze? My feet are aching, my chest is burning I forgot long ago to count the days I'm bleeding out, there's not much more that I can give I know I'm fading away But still I play this never ending game Knowing the result is the same I held my sword way up so high But my enemy keeps eluding me My body is tired, my heart is dry But still I try Till the end
6.
The Day 03:10
For a sign, I'm waiting To move on Nobody can hear me cry I can't hold you anymore Maybe the miles between us can make me strong I'm up to handle it I've lost everything before You taught me so many things Love and be loved above anything else. Time ran out without warning Well, time didn't care That you only showed me how to win Not to lose, as I did with you. Oooh! as I did with you. Oooh! Why are you killing me inside? You taught me so many things Love and be loved above anything else. Time has gone without warning Well, time didn't care I just wait until the day is done

Destiny 04:40
You walk, you eat, you smile and you breathe You play, you complain, and you watch your TV You're just a product of society You could never see that There is no escape Nothing could ever brake The strings that command our fate The force that destroys and creates Nothing is ever fair No justice, no one cares About this forsaken world They just do as they're told, don't you? Don't you color inside the lines That they draw for you all the time? Do you ever think about running away? Leaving everything behind Like so many have done Do they even realize? They're running away from themselves Chasing their shadows Is there something else? Below all this shallow There is no escape Nothing could ever brake The strings that command our fate The force that destroys and creates our lives Aren't you tired to try to fill the void? That you try so hard to avoid? There's no escape Make no mistake There's no escape from your destiny

Captive 05:25
I wish I could cry Scream it all out There’s only words Do you wish you could cry Scream it all out Are you locked in yourself And the pain won’t come out Those words that swirl inside my head Are rational and clear I analyzed myself, yet I Don’t know what I feel My heart so very reasonable So skeptical my mind To you it seems so obvious, yet I myself am blind There’s only words A twisted self Just like you I don’t mind spending all my days Just waiting in the pouring rain I ran for miles and miles before And wound up at your closed door But somehow I want more Don’t mind spending all my days Just waiting here in the pouring rain I ran for miles and miles before Just to wind up at your closed door But somehow I want more Those monsters livin‘ inside your chest Are worse than mine by far You analyzed the universe, yet you Don’t know who you are You find no words A twisted self Just like me And I know that you’re no good for me So load with rage and uncried tears You gave me many things before Just not what I was looking for But somehow I want more And I don’t mind spending all my days Just waiting in the pouring rain I ran until my legs were sore Cos the truth is that I miss you so And somehow I want Somehow I want Why would I want more?

Utopia 04:39
Walking down a path on my mind Looking for something I can't find I raise my arms to the sky Only to realise That I'm alone with my dreams Where nothing is quite what it seems I hear a distant scream Followed by a blinding gleam Drifting between Illusion and reality Save me Lost in the shadows I keep on searching For a way out But there's a part of me That can't live without Addicted to this agony I can't break free No.. I can't break free Save me Free me Take me away From this misery Save me Lost in the shadows I've had enough I'm breaking up Going away Following my own way
10.
Saturn 04:44
in a black night when skies are dark ready for take off all systems go we’ll leave the planet destination unknown starting the engines we hear them roar we’re leaving earth, we’re crossing open space leaving it all behind, the sun, the moon, the milky way a billion miles per second warp drive engaged nothing can stop us we’re on our way crossing light years warp drive engaged from Mars to Vega we’re on our way passing the rings of Saturn Jupiter’s moons.. Already gone No gravity No boundaries No bonds No chains hold us back A free will A free mind Is all we need To touch the sky

Many Ways 03:03
Don’t ever look back Try not to regret, a thing, a thing This life is too short to waste it With stuff like that You might think: There’s just so many things I didn’t dare to do But when tomorrow comes It doesn’t matter Don’t ever look back You may remember the good things This life is too short to waste it With worries, with worries There might be many roads You wish you hadn’t taken But when tomorrow comes It doesn’t matter What if you died today What if you get hit by a car Life is too short to worry Enjoy the moment Enjoy the day Don’t ever look back Don’t ever look back Try not to regret There can be many things You wish you had not done But when tomorrow comes it doesn’t matter!
13.
Beyond 03:53
As I open my eyes to look at the sun with its blinding light closing my eyes when we look to the sky don't you know what we'll see But isn’t there a thing that we miss? So close to the edge There’s a hole in the sky Don’t you know Where it leads But it seems to know That I am alone and broken when I open my eyes and turn to the sun with this wonderful light blinding my sight when we look to the sky don't we know what we'll see But isn’t there a thing that we miss? So close to the end
14.
Desolation 07:55
No one ever comes near This cold dark feeling won't disappear Whatever happened here Left a scar too great that won't heal Some say there was a nation In complete isolation No one knows their occupation Or the fate of this civilization Some will say Don't mess with what you don't know but Either way You feel deep down into your soul that You must go And find your way into the unknown Even though You may never return again You will know What crawls within your veins at night The reason why Your dreams all end in suicide You can't deny So might as well embrace the pain So when you die Your life won't all end in vain Embrace the desolation Let it spread into your blood It's a holy desecration Of your body, heart and soul Don't fight it, let it in It's a brand new beginning Give in to this temptation And celebrate the desolation Leave definitions behind No one knows about wrong or right Don't even dare to ask why It may be too much for your mind Take the final step You're so close, are you ready yet? To know the truth about your soul Let darkness steer, take control I can't stop myself I need to accept The truth about my soul The pain needs to take control

El Día 03:09
Una señal espero Para continuar Nadie me escucha llorar Lo he intentado tolerar La distancia entre Tú y Yo Puede hacerme bien Ya es una costumbre Perder todo y no entender Del mundo me enseñaste todo Amar y soportar las luces y la oscuridad El tiempo se ha tragado todo No le ha de importar Me preparaste para el triunfo No ha perder como lo hago hoy Oooh! Como lo he hecho hoy. Oooh! Dime, qué quieres lograr? Del mundo me enseñaste todo Amar y soportar las luces y la oscuridad El tiempo se ha tragado todo No le ha de importar Tan solo quiero el día terminar.

about

Incarnation I is the outcome of many years of finding the perfect band members, composing, recording, constantly working on the songs and the many other aspects that are needed to complete an album. Social media, artwork, logo, videos, equipment, tech stuff, legal stuff, photos, website, organisational stuff, copyright stuff, mixing, mastering and more. We had some help from great people on some of these things - please check the booklet for the credits.
We first planned to put out eleven songs but we added more in 2021. First there was Saturn - the first song that Deibys recorded for us. The song was not really composed for Preincarnation but after we had those great vocals, we decided to put the song on the album. Deibys had recorded his vocals to a very early draft of the song, so we had to re-record the instruments.
The other song we added was Desolation. Although some parts of the song already existed in 2015 we had not finished it back then. The drum tracks for Desolation were (like those for Saturn) recorded in our rehearsal room in 2021 and the other instruments were added in our homestudios.
We could have saved at least Desolation for our second album but we felt like our first album should paint the full picture of the first years. Plus we want to come up with all new stuff for the next release. We believe there are no fillers on this album and each song has a right to be there. We are very proud of it. We hope you enjoy listening to our music and spread the word!
