lyrics

Zimbardo… Milgrams!

Open up, the archives of pain, repeat the same mistakes that have been made.
Hammer in the screws and screw in the nails! Blood alone, oils the wheels…
A species congregated on the second throne.
The nature of power, the warning, Cicero!
Prime time engineers of our own extinction, child like they get our undivided attention.
One last setting sun, one more turn of the carousel.
One more chance, to prove causality wrong,
the road to hell, paved with good intentions, dystopias, of our own invention!

Mystery, Babylon the great! Mother of prostitutes, abominations of the Earth!
She lay before the continents, the woman with seven heads.
She presented herself to man and man revealed his nature...
Animals, who dreamt of being men, abandon all hope, worship sensation.

Animals, who dreamt of being men…

Autonomy, bleeds from our veins!
The future, slips through our fingers.
Animals, who dreamt of being men, we men, who were animals!
One last setting sun, one more grain in the hourglass,
one more chance to prove Nietzsche wrong!
The road to hell, paved by the ghosts of Europe,
utopias of the liberal imagination.

Liberty, America the brave! Home of the endless seas, the harbinger of the end!
She lay before the continents, the woman with seven heads.
She presented herself to man and man revealed his nature…
Mystery, Babylon our queen of queens!
All hail! Mystery, liberty! All hail (America the brave), Babylon our queen of queens!

Convinced that we're talented or special, when the painful truth is, we are not special. In the realisation that we are not special we came to find we were angry. Just like us our music is not special but we can assure you it's angry and honest ... more

I haven't been all that much interested in metalcore these past few weeks, been trying to rekindle my love for pop and electro, but here, man, this is why I love metal so much, you can do like everybody does and sound good, or change things up and be amazing just like here, keep it up guys, really like it.

Had never heard CNFA before this album. These guys play a style of metal I haven't heard ever, and probably won't again. Classic album, from start to finish this had me HOOKED. Phuzz0r
