2006년 3월 발표했던 그들의 마스터피스 "Come Clarity" 의 수록곡 "Take This Life" 를 현재까지 600만장을 판매한 베스트셀링 비디오 게임인 "Guitar Hero III" 에 삽입하며 전 세계적인 밴드로 성장한 인플레임스. 오늘 당신의 손에 쥐어진 "A Sense Of Purpose" 는 Daniel Bergstrand에 의해 녹음, 프로듀스 되었고 메탈리카, 슬레이어, 오지오스본, 키스, 머틀리크루와 작업했던 TobyWright 에 의해 믹싱되었으며 L.A. 의 스튜디오에서 Stephen Marcussen 에 의해 마스터링되어 풍부한 사운드를 구현해낸 앨범이다.
메탈씬의 정점에 선 인플레임스, 감성, 공격성, 파워풀, 혁신, 이 모든 것을 담고 있는 신작 A Sense Of Purpose는 놀랍고도 뛰어난 명작이다! -Rock One (프랑스)-
인플레임스의 신작은 아이언 메이든의 팬에서 메탈코어 팬에 이르기까지 세상 모든 메탈팬들을 열광시킬 것이다. 특히 앤더스의 보컬은 감동적이다! -Metal Shock (이탈리아)-
인플레임스 사상 가장 다각적 시도가 돋보이는 앨범! 휘몰아치는 훌륭한 리프, 중독성 강한 그루브감, 아름다운 보컬 멜로디까지!!! -Metal Hammer (이탈리아)-
인플레임스의 신보 A Sense Of Purpose는 공격적이고 천재적인 앨범이다. 그 누구도 본작에 실망하지 않을 것이다! -Rock Hard (독일)-
인플레임스는 예테보리 사운드의 제왕임을 다시 한번 재확인했다. 이 장르의 그 어떤 밴드도 인플레임스처럼 헤비함과 멜로디를 적절히 소화해 내지 못할 것이다! 누구도 이들의 아성을 무너뜨릴 수 없을 것이다! -Legacy (독일)-
지금까지 총 9번에 걸쳐, 인플레임스는 다른 밴드들이 꿈만 꾸고 있는 것들을 성취하였다. 존경스럽다! -AARDSCHOK (네덜란드)-
인플레임스는 새로운 길을 가는 것을 결코 두려워하지 않는다. 용맹스런 앨범이다! -Scream Mag (노르웨이) .... ....
This spectacle will collapse It's not a false alarm The ashes settle in
I guess we are the insane As we ignore the mirror's truth should I join the feast should I acknowledge the leash A future in captivity I'm not who I'm supposed to be We're not even trying Let this light explode
The bleeding we deceive them Fule the lies their fires Is there a higher reason We should live by their laws Call the swarm Feed them another false hope We're not even trying To ignite life's dream Let this light explode We're not even trying Find the exit sign and disappear
We're not even trying To ignite life's dream Let this light explode We're not even trying Find the exit sign and disappear
You won't Find a friendly face in the crowd, It's quite amusing to see how you suffer I refuse, to let you steal my delight, Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage I've seen you kill many dreams, But I got brand new armour, And your weapons are way out of reach How does it feel to be demolished, Vaporized into thin air? Strange new feeling to be nothing. [Chorus] All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2] All drenched in fear, And the hate you bring Make me bother, I dare you, I've got the strength I need, But I'll await my darkest moment, When the guilt doesn't get to me. [Chorus x2]
Hopeless times approach Just give into the chaos Strangely I find comfort here Impatient and curious of what may come ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus:] Drain Me Keep me in the dark I don't want to take part Prefer to be forever numb Nothing great can come out of this But I'm hostage to myself I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge And I fear I'll realize when it's too late ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus] Sleepless again I need to ease my mind And kill what burns inside Sleepless again I can't win [Chorus]
The serpent knows, When the curtain falls, With denials blindfold, He greets another day Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfect ten, When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Life's wrapped in a riddle, Easier said than done, Way to play the victim, Just run and hide. Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfec ten When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Let them take me far away Crawl back in place, It's easier to cope behind the curtain, Wipe the worries away No thought about the consequence Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfec ten, When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Let them take me far away
I am my deepest shadow, Something I can't ever neglect, Rise above these ashes, Or fall and fade away In dark moments, I know better, Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus:] From here to new grounds, Suppose I will do it alone, With a smile through black design Fearless of your conviction Staring into truth, I am the highway, Existence, care for me in all Your everlasting complications In dark moments, I know better Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus] Forget the promised land, There was never an invitation, Today I create my own, Before there was sorrow And lack of attention [Chorus]
Everyday takes figuring out how to live, Sometimes it feels like a mistake, Sometimes it's a winner's parade, Delight and angers, I guess that's the way it's supposed to be... [Chorus:] Please heal me, I can't sleep Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable, Lie and set me free I feel the fear take hold Afraid this hell I create is my own Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore, This used to be my own world, But now I've lost control [Chorus] Chasing leftovers, Under the fading sun, Searching for shelter, I feel my time has come [Chorus]
Used to be original, But now I tremble in fear I am like everyone else And that buries me Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? [Chorus:] I've become the distance, I am the sober and irrelevant, I don't feel but in this, What is there to believe? I'm not asking for much, just a moment A chance to pick up the pieces Happiness, please, come home What if it ends right here How do I change it? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus] Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus]
I'm so restless, These walls drain my thoughts Room 307 I can't find my way out It used to be my home These days, far from my comfort zone Alive but without control... Fear is taking hold I should cross the line Confront like the blind [Chorus:] Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in And discover the living? I don't recognise my soul Condemned to live in this black hole Deep within time... and crave what is mine. [Chorus] I should cross the line... Confront like the blind Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in It's a hill to climb Would you dream if I, Design the future Not the end of time
You won't Find a friendly face in the crowd, It's quite amusing to see how you suffer
I refuse, to let you steal my daylight, Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage I've seen you kill many dreams, But I got brand new armour, And your weapons are way out of reach
How does it feel to be demolished, Vaporized into thin air? Strange new feeling to be nothing.
[Chorus] All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2] All drenched in fear, And the hate you bring
Make me bother, I dare you, I've got the strength I need, But I'll await my darkest moment, When the guilt doesn't get to me.
I used to adore you The lies made sense somehow Gave myself away without a fight But the betrayal claims its price At first I was scared Not used to a murder's mind But there was something beautiful So powerful, so definite, so divine Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus:] Falling ideals Broken seals March to the shore You are a killer! Is it something that's always been there? Was it destined to leave its cage? I'm glad we met though I love to release the rage But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus] But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me [Chorus x2]
