Revolt

GeN2Mo While the sheer hit-density may be lower than on "Ratocracy", "Revolt" still walks strong as another creative step forward. With additonal variety in elements, composition and styles of songs, and a little more emphasis on the subtle folk touches, the album emanates a certain gravitas. Feels a lot like it tells a meaningful story. Favorite track: Revolt.

Aaron Randal Chisholm So many different styles of playing going on in this album, and that's what makes it great. Apart from the fact this is all done solo ;) Favorite track: On The Wings Of The Wind.

Eric Hoyt Arsafes is always incredible, and that's that. His sound is evolving a bit, and this album isn't QUITE as relentlessly heavy as his previous ones, but believe me... it'll get your heart pumping. There are some serious crushers in "Revolt." Favorite track: Sanguine Saints.

all creatures of the night shall walk away from me cause i illuminate the sky my fire burns away your fear and puts it on its knees leaving your demons to die as i look back again i see the crooked life of the mob under layers of sin. those who shall take my hand will be finally free! we'll fly away on the wings of the wind! i came to tear your shackles down i came to set you free cause you dared to open your eyes the slave became the master of it's destiny the slave shall finally rise as i look back again i see the crooked life of the mob under layers of sin. those who shall take my hand will be finally free! we'll fly away on the wings of the wind! Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою. just believe in what you see believe in what you feel i know that we are free i know that this is real just believe in what you see believe in what you feel together we are free our destiny's revealed as i look back again i see the crooked life of the mob under layers of sin. those who shall take my hand will be finally free! we'll fly away on the wings of the wind! Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою.

a weakened mind stops the soul from reconnecting with the light it stays awake in the arms of bleeding statues out of sight of all the eyes of all the faces all the hands that seek revenge sanguine saints are cursed to burn in pits beneath the earth sanguine saints are made to learn the ways of pain from birth my eyes are open my bones are crushed by a thousand hammers of those who knew that all i wanted was to set them free from the will of blood, from the crooked truth sanguine saints are cursed to burn in pits beneath the earth sanguine saints are made to learn the ways of pain from birth in nomine spiritus sancti behead the slaves, all for one in nomine spiritus sancti the sages burn forever as the lords assemble to deny your truly spoken words flames begin to rise up to the sky blindly igniting the heaven's doors

Wake Me Up 04:29
if there's a way to go why aren't you still free? too many walls surround you walls you cannot see if there's a way to go then why is it so dark this tunnel leads to hell - i see the burning mark chorus: i walk all alone in a world made of sorrow betrayed and torn, all the souls stare from below i walk all alone, always hope for tomorrow to wake me, to wake me up if there's a way to start living from square one to change the world, make it brighter than the sun if there's a way to live above the filth and lies then there's a way to fly higher than the sky chorus: i walk all alone in a world made of sorrow betrayed and torn, all the souls stare from below i walk all alone, always hope for tomorrow to wake me, to wake me up bridge: as all your thoughts bring you to a state of apathy, your self-destruction mechanism fires there's no way to go from the legacy of history you are a grain of universal sand all hopes drown in the rancid pool of liberty as you see your life in enemies' hands self deliverance through self destruction as a choice of the crooked weak free the mechanism of malfunction let the trigger speak chorus: i walk all alone in a world made of sorrow betrayed and torn, all the souls stare from below i walk all alone, always hope for tomorrow to wake me, to wake me up

Horde 04:52
all the windows are closed fright is the weapon, the weapon he chose no more food for the poor only corruption, blindfolds and force don't you dare to look back hounds of the king are prepared to attack daggers sharper than serpent's teeth, steel tears you skin and the soil turns black one an only ruler of worms spreading your disease one and only thief on the throne, you shall die on your knees i gather the horde of harlots, demons, troops of blight i gather the horde of poison-blooded scum i gather the horde of spirits, darker than the night to crush the will of the traitor's bastard son son of evil, behold you are a coward, drowning in gold for your personal needs you are ready to set fire to the whole world one an only ruler of worms spreading your disease one and only thief on the throne, you shall die on your knees i gather the horde of harlots, demons, troops of blight i gather the horde of poison-blooded scum i gather the horde of spirits, darker than the night to crush the will of the traitor's bastard son

you consume the seas, you consume the skies you make the heavens fall down you breathe in the flames as they melt my skin, burning my bones to the ground Don't let it go Don't let it leave you on your own all alone in the dark Don't let it go Don't let it feed on the unknown As you drown below the ark Don't let it go! can i see your face? can i feel your touch, the touch of false ecstasy? let me see your smile as i crucify what's left of my destiny Don't let it go Don't let it leave you on your own all alone in the dark Don't let it go Don't let it feed on the unknown As you drown below the ark Don't let it go!

Angels 07:33
i learned to know the world never meant to be a shelter for the wounded hearts and eyes, that shined so bright, we always used to see once close forever cruelly tearing souls apart don't you worry, just don't you worry cause i see them smiling in the sky i only wish they said goodbye don't feel sorry, just don't feel sorry cause the endless streams of tears you cry will rise up high i saw a destiny brighter than the sun, i saw a faith that leads to grace i ask the holy blade why does it choose the ones who try to make the world a better place don't you worry, just don't you worry cause i see them smiling in the sky i only wish they said goodbye don't feel sorry, just don't feel sorry cause the endless streams of tears you cry will rise up high
