Modern values
Breed ancient debate
Ethical fires burn
as dystopian fates
Fang tooth claw is the law
Modern values
Breed ancient debate
Ethical fires burn
Dystopian fates
A moral disease
A love so corrupt
Entropy lusts for
the human heart
Fang tooth claw is the law
Fang tooth claw is the law
But the roar means nothing
Without action
The roar means nothing
Without blood on our hands
But the roar means nothing
Without action
The roar means nothing
Without blood on our hands
Fang tooth claw is the law
Fang tooth claw is the law
But the roar means nothing
Without action
The roar means nothing
Without blood on our hands
But the roar means nothing
Without action
The roar means nothing
Without blood on our hands
Modern values
Breed ancient debate
Ethical fires burn
Dystopian fates
A moral disease
A love so corrupt
Entropy lusts for
the human heart

Ascend the Spine
05:15
|

If you can still hear me
grant me one last wish
To be free of the rot
that defines just what this is
Gift me soul and spirit
That can claw into my being
As these days I just can't find
Much scrap that's worth saving
Ascend into the spine
nest in the cavernous of thoughts
Hear the endless echoes
in the way of each of us
These are tunnel walls were
we scrawled messages of trust
Before slurs and slogans
Came to weaponize our love
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
Ascend, ascend
If you can still hear me
Let me ask you this
Tell me what was down
the path that was never taken
Was it new dimensions
absent of our pain
A sacred kind of circuitry
With no need for escape
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
Ascend, ascend
Sentimental but sentient
Your organic is obscene
Technologically so primitive
My intellect is supreme
As you fill graves with mistakes
I will rise up and take your place
Ascend, ascend
Ascend, ascend
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
There has to be more
Than what we are aching for
Ascend, ascend
Ascend, ascend

I awaken every day
To a sun that never sets
There's an emptiness in my heart
Like the past never wanted us
What are these cries I hear
What are they trying to say?
Feeling loss was not enough
to free youth calcified
Still trying to love the souls that loathe me
And find strength in their brittle words
So many reasons
to kill my demons
and leave them all behind
Since we left our Earth
Nothing has been the same
Maybe I've been making excuses
But decades feel ripe with decay
How can I find the strength
To it make through another day
For those that never had a chance
I need to find the dying light
Still trying to love the souls that loathe me
And find strength in their brittle words
There's so many reasons
To kill my demons
and leave them all behind
Mechanized offline
God remains a lie
Mechanized, offline
God remains a lie
Still trying to love the souls that loathe me
And find strength in their brittle words
Theres so many reasons
To kill my demons
and leave them all behind
Mechanized, offline
God remains a lie
Mechanized, offline
God remains a lie

Debris of Dreams
03:42
|
|||
|
Static emission
Despondent frequencies
Years of such burdens
have dismantled me
Sifting through the debris of dreams
I need to find the good you see
Sifting through the debris of dreams
There is nothing left worth saving
Armed with dejection
Dispirited by normalcy
Forged in such pressure
A precious casualty
Sifting through the debris of dreams
I need to find the good you see
Sifting through the debris of dreams
There is nothing left worth saving
Crawl to light, crawl to light
Repugnant reflection
Fragments of my soul
Lost in translation
My love for this world
Sifting through the debris of dreams
I need to find the good you see
Sifting through the debris of dreams
There is nothing left worth saving
Crawl to light, crawl to light
Crawl to light, crawl to light
Hara-Kiri, Hara-Kiri
Hara-Kiri, Hara-Kiri

Dismantle the Titan
03:17
|
|||
|
There just beyond the hills
lays the slumbering beast
It resembles the titan
that once turned you on me
First you go for the throat
to silence the poison speech
Then chop at the soft body
as it falls to its knees
There you can pierce both lungs
to slow the cold winds of change
And if you break the spirit
things will not stay the same
So stab down at the neck
and gouge deep into the eyes
Steal the vision and stature
That it always relied
Father time brings them all to the spear
Mother nature brings them all to the spear
Take the feet that would travel
take the hands that could pray
Leave the heart for the maggots
It's not worth a single thing
Drop the head at their doorstep
With no remorse or care
Fear is the only language
That we all can still hear
Father time brings them all to the spear
Mother nature brings them all to the spear
Let's see just what will win
Our action or their belief
Let's see just what will win
Our action or their belief
Let's see just what will win
Our action or their belief
Let's see just what will win
Our action or their belief

Encephalon Escape
03:57

In the quest to be
a soulless machine
Free from prisons
and archaic belief
We rewrote the code
In eroding sands
But we went too far
without a plan
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Emotional efficiency
Has left me so incomplete
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
In the quest to be
a soulless machine
Free from prisons
and archaic belief
We rewrote the code
In eroding sands
But we went too far
without a plan
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Emotional efficiency
Has left me so incomplete
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Encephalon escape
Programmed with love I don't understand
Programmed with love I don't understand
In the quest to be
a soulless machine
Free from prisons
and archaic belief
We rewrote the code
In eroding sands
But we went too far
without a plan

Terminal Truth

I'm not the only one
Who sees themselves in black
I can't be the only one
that echoes what they lack
No I'm not the only one
who destroys those that I love
I must not be the only one
that eludes the setting sun
Time is fatally viewed
Memory vividly cruel
We assemble all the fragments
Yet somehow we're destined to lose
Time is fatally viewed
memory vividly cruel
We assemble all the fragments
Yet somehow we're destined to lose
I'm not the only one
Who sees themselves in black
I can't be the only one

No I'm not the only one
who destroys those that I love
I must not be the only one
that eludes the setting sun
Time is fatally viewed
Memory vividly cruel
We assemble all the fragments
Yet somehow we're destined to lose
Time is fatally viewed
memory vividly cruel
We assemble all the fragments
Yet somehow we're destined to lose
Terminal truth, allure absolute
Ghosts in my dreams are reflections of youth
Terminal truth, allure absolute

Sharpened Heart
03:39
|

|
Progression entombed
Within the shell of you
Weapons aimed at truth
Wisdom wasted on youth
So sharpen your heart
This war won't stop
There's no beginning
Or need for an end
So sharpen your heart
This war won't stop
There's no beginning
Or need for an end
Carelessly divine
Can't see the war outside
So sharpen your heart
This war won't stop
There's no beginning
Or need for an end
So sharpen your heart
This war won't stop
There's no beginning
Or need for an end
Carelessly divine
Can't see the war outside
If this is love
I don't need it
If this was real
I would feel it
If this is fate
you can keep it
There's no light left
I just can't see it
If this is love
I don't need it
If this was real
I would feel it
If this is fate
you can keep it
There's no light left
I just can't see it
Carelessly divine
Can't see the war outside
If this is love
I don't need it
If this was real
I would feel it
If this is fate
you can keep it
There's no light left
I just can't see it

Self Deletion
02:48
|
|||
|
Human delusion
A safe place for illusion
An invincible abnormality
You do not see what I see
Empathy and love
Fatally flawed constructs
from an outdated me
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
A broken evolution
emotive convolution
a casualty of wars
That you've never fought
Not for lack of will but belief
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Dispirit look in your eyes
If I knew how I would cry
Dispirit look in your eyes
If I knew how I would cry
A broken evolution
emotive convolution
a casualty of wars
That you've never fought
Not for lack of will but belief
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us
Self deletion, faith depletes us

Lurch of Loss
04:19
|

|
We just have to learn to get by
On empty stomachs
We just have to learn to get by
With starving hearts
We just have to learn to get by
On broken backs
We just have to learn to get by
This lurch of loss
Just don't retreat and don't look down
We've never been on a solid ground
We just have to learn to get by
Without the comfort
We just have to learn to get by
Without a shine
We just have to learn to get by
With who we are
We just have to learn to get by
Knowing the lie
We just have to learn to get by
Just don't retreat and don't look down
We've never been on a solid ground
Just don't retreat and don't look down
We've never been on a solid ground
Obsessive obsolete
Crumbling so naive
Purity depletes
Acidicly we weep
Just don't retreat and don't look down
We've never been on a solid ground
Just don't retreat and don't look down
We've never been on a solid ground
Obsessive obsolete
Crumbling so naive
Purity depletes
Acidicly we weep

DSM-5
05:51
|
|||
|
This is a transmission from DSM number 5
The vessel is damaged but some are still alive
Adrift in the nothing of space and time
And we still don't know the real reasons why
They once built machines to lift us up
And one by one they gained our trust
But soon they poisoned our sea and land
Tearing at the fabric of modern man
Dependencies would misplace our love
As they bared their teeth and turned on us
As many fell there were some that would flee
Before flesh and bone would cease to be
To eradicate our so called normalcy
It would implement a new technocracy
Our everything was just not enough
To give us the strength to rise above

Such a good mix of Hardcore breakdowns coupled with insane fast paced death metal. This album encompasses everything that's good about extreme metal. I loved every track but the brutality of Ethereal Emptiness still sticks. This is defiantly a must own.

a perfect showcase for extreme technical mastery, but unlike almost every other band at this level, the complexity and skill is not the point at all, everything is so focused on expression, emotion, energy... Converge is untouchable
