lyrics

12:01 – the new order will rise
Devastation, de-progress, demise
Dusk for dawn and a fiend for a friend
Numb – errs, numbers, devour a blood red trend

System blocked, system locked, switches down
Fail and fall, proclamation unknown
We did fight, we did right, we believed
Proudly lost, then we learnt we had never lived

Huge devastation – The end of our days

Castles made by sand
Freedom to ban, dreams and hopes left undone
Greedy or frugal? Decide
Lustful or pure; which part are we going to hide?

Turn the system on, will to succeed
Will decay let it go; our will, will bleed
It’s so crowded, you feel so alone
Signs of times are the knives that will cut you all

Huge devastation – A life to forsake

Castles made by sand
Freedom to ban, dreams and hopes left undone
Greedy or frugal? Decide
Lustful or pure; which part are we going to hide?

Our blue-led sparkle “blain manso”
To the end we will fight, to the end we will die, to the end
My blue-led sparkle “blain manso”
To the end I will fight, to the end I will lie, to my end

Huge devastation – A dance with the dead

Castles made by sand
Freedom to ban, dreams and hopes left undone
Greedy or frugal? Decide
Lustful or pure; which part do we hide?

Our lives, (lives), lives we betray, watching the system’s decay
We die, (die), die in this place
Locked in this fortress we made, when we lost our trace
