-----------CHORUS-----------
a contract signed with foreign blood
yet no one of them knows
where or when it stains the ground
The legion of sold souls!
-------------------------
fighting for democracy
strictly following their orders
against made up enemies
far away from their own borders
despair drove them on this path
pushed out of society
"You're defending our freedom"
is their daily lullaby
the enemy hides everywhere
threats lurk behind every corner
paranoia is the best tool
to survive this manmade nightmare
CHORUS
the slaughtering begins again
and what dies first is the truth
the machine keeps on running
killing hopeless youth
the dead will haunt you in your dreams
unless you swallow this
keep yourself running
never wake up again
spreading fire over fields
bombing cities back to stoneage
duty called to all these deeds
the battlefield became a stage
they are just puppets
and death is pulling all the strings
what they can win is mental illness
or a pair of wings
freedoms reckless interceptors
buying wealth with foreign blood
live and die without control
CHORUS 2x

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

Do not let the somewhat uninspiring cover fool you! this is some killer black / death metal. The riffs are amazing, as are the vocals. Getting the Non Serviam Records discography is one of the best things I have done this year! bmurator

Fantasque & Fantastique !
I love RandomWalk. I cannot think of any other group sounding like them. The closest you could get is a combination of Divercia, Oceans of Sadness, Mercenary and fresh garlic.
Well, while randomly starting the album, I envisioned an extreme version of RandomWalk, and my heart beat faster.
I drink decaf' coffee.
Zornheym may not know any of the cited groups. Like them, they created a unique flavour of metal. unidual
