스웨덴 출신의 인더스트리얼/일렉트로닉 트리오 Covenant의 97년작인 “Sequence 7"의 재발매버전. 데뷔앨범 ”Dreams of a Cryotank"에서 보여주었던 사이버펑크적인 요소들에서 탈피, 좀더 다크 일렉트로닉 댄스플로어 멜로디를 차용하여 독창적인 멜로디 라인을 유지한다. ‘Stalker'와 같은 트랙에서는 테크노 영향을 감지할 수 있으며, ’Feedback‘이나 ’Tabula Rasa'에서는 이국적인 사운드로 새로운 차원의 일렉 사운드를 일궈내고 있다.
I consume the wind that makes you cold And drink the blood of the bleeding souls To check your fear and hide the noise Of howling wolves that steals your voice
I confuse your mind and feed your dreams To read your thoughts and keep them safe From harmful truth and the hopeful lies Of the tempting demon that hurts your eyes
I will protect you from your visions To save you from illusions I will protect you from ideals To save you from defeats
I consume the wind that makes you bold And suck the blood of the living souls To make you numb and hide the noise Of the howling wolves that is your voice
I seduce your mind to fear your dreams And read your thoughts to keep you blind From harmful truth and the open skies Of the outside world before your eyes
In transit you pass among the strangers of the world Paying tribute to the thief who stole away your shadow You look into the bedrock and listen to the bells Calling liquid lust Call for solid white
I see the stalker in your face The secrets of your skin I keep the wisdom that you need The password that you want I feel the stalker in your mind The fire in your veins No hope to be released
I'm a multitude of travel to the other side Through the broken wall I saw your fellow man To the west of the horizon there's a bitter world And if you try to sense the smell of your face For you found the keyhole But you lost your backbone No courage left to join the march of endless time You saw the sleep of habit on those who walk in trance To their catatonic aimless lives
So let them start the engine grinding mountain dust And reproduce your ego too much is not enough You dig holes through the earth to meet the king of worms To steal away his wisdom and learn to decompose
You chant like fifty indians to charm the prince of eagles To learn the art of seeing and the tounge of the winds So don't you try to fool me for I watch your every move We are kindred spirits like two voices in the wild
We wish so hard to be seen And dream at night to be heard And yet we have nothing to show But false words and broken dreams
I'm the figurehead on the ship of fools A beacon for the liars in the dark I'm the first and the last I claim this land I'm the lost and the hungry I need this land
The inescapable face of truth Spins my head again Disturbingly unable to stand back I'm going down
The undeniable sense of wonder Kicks my head in Disturbingly unable to escape I dive to drown
We want so hard to be true And claim the right to be good And yet we never seem to know How to reach promised lands
We work so hard to be wise And dream of light to be pure We need brighter death to grow The clean touch of virgin hands
I'm lost to the world soon to be forgotten Living in the shadows searching for belief But my anger is gone and the anvil is broken The pieces on the ground melting in the silence
I keep my head above the surface Trying to breath looking for land I keep an eye at the distant horizon Waiting for help clutching the sky
My fear is my cross heavy on the shoulders Learning to be patient burning to be free So my spirit is strong but my body is broken My father in the fire dying for survival
Every instant second a suspension of forever A frail continuous sequence spanning over lives Blindfolded by stars we roam in our realm Striving to the very last dwindling at the most
Relentless marching in the waste we produce for living Tending to forget we are not the lasting kind Every day we die we are slowly decomposing The steps we take upon the earth will be worn and lost
As the moment elapsed We walked in slow motion Denying the tide We'll find our devotion
Possessed by our possessions we deny the present In the gallery of achievements we look upon the past And as the moment passed away recalling the restraint Counting and weighing the amount of our breaths
But strong in the knowledge of our lack of purpose By learning the fear and gaining our composure Content at the surface descension to come Peace in our loneliness although all will be lost
As the moment elapsed We walked in slow motion Awaiting the tide We'll lose our devotion
I feel too many affectious obstacles Water must be allowed to seek it's own level I don't seek to strive on others' expense And the expense is mine as they judge my ways
I'm waiting for the rain to fall for days I'm longing for the flood to sweep this all away
To grind the mountains to the level of the valleys To cut the trees to the level of the grass To asphalt the land in the name of equality Let us grow in mutual respect and care
I will transgress the laws and change the orders To live within an environment of my choice So don't force your will or taste to rule over mine Don't stand in the shadow of my hammer
Drones behold the life that was given Be aware of the choices within your grasp Oppose the temptress who leaves you dry Redeem what was lost unleash your will
Hail the ones who take nothing for granted Praise the moments of the giving day Worship the sensation that passes by forever Conquer yourself for the kingdom of fury
I want to stand in the eye of the storm I want to get struck by lightning I want our house to be set on fire For us to walk without shelter
I seek no rest I seek no shelter Where weak dwell in the shadow of decay I want to walk forever with the storm Until I become the prey anyway
I try to rise in pride, I want to radiate Walk on water and ride the light I try to break the chains, I want to penetrate Cross the borders and drink the oceans
I need to burn my fuel, I want to detonate Melt the sun and drain the sources I need to waste my strength, I want to escalate Turn the tide, conquer the stars
Give me velocity and gasoline Electricity and adrenaline I want to be superluminal
I have to go ahead, I want to elevate Rise above, find the path, I have to look beyond I want to perforate, reach behind, take it back I must spread my wings, I want to scintillate Blind myself, break away, I must be born again I want to celebrate, stop the clock, never return
