2.	The Hunter & The Wolf 04:01	lyrics	buy track
The eyes of the hunter laid on me Staring without a face Waiting for the prey’s mistake You’re only jealous of my free nature Why? Why are you trying to kill the dreamer in me? If I can’t be myself Who will I be? A prey can also bite the hunter Don’t play with the wolf, you can lose I will stand while you hit my face ‘cause in the end: Defeat is yours I’m howling to the pale full moon Making a wish and a promise Between guitars and drums I live Feeling all the adrenaline inside me Although! Although my vocal cords could dry someday And my imagination is a dark landscape I'll never give up or run away You can’t kill my desire to create A prey can also bite the hunter Don’t play with the wolf, you can lose Judge me, devalue me and call me loser This contempt hurts like an open sore But your words can’t make me change All efforts to tie me are a waste of time I will stand while you hit my face ‘cause in the end: Defeat is yours A prey can also bite the hunter Don ’t play with the wolf, you can lose Who gives more punches isn't stronger Than who holds standing without faltering So make me feel all your nasty hate Feed your bad karma will be the price I will stand while you hit my face ‘cause in the end: Defeat is yours
3.	I am Wrath 03:41	lyrics	buy track
I am wrath! I am Anger I am Insanity I saw you crying By others cruelty I am the answer So don't be afraid Let me take control To show no mercy My darkest thoughts own me I only hear: kill the tormentor but I don't want to be the one Who fights fire with fire I am Wrath- Save me from my dark intentions I am Wrath- Save me from my dangerous mind I am Wrath- Farewell to the thoughts of vengeance I am Wrath- Farewell to the monster I'm not I am Anger I am Madness I drink from your fears To create the fire from hate Making your bully repent Unleashing the beast is the cause and solution Of all your worries The shadow of my past... gone My brain erased them all I'll never be taking an eye for an eye I am Wrath- Save me from my dark intentions I am Wrath- Save me from my dangerous mind I am Wrath- Farewell to the thoughts of vengeance I am Wrath- Farewell to the monster I'm not I am Wrath- Save me from my dark intentions I am Wrath- Save me from my dangerous mind I am Wrath- Farewell to the thoughts of vengeance I am Wrath- Farewell to the monster I'm not Enough is enough I’m not like you Enough is enough I’m not like you Enough is enough I’m not like you
4.	Fear the Fear 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Northern winds roaring in my ears My head is spinning too fast My hands are freezing too cold And I can't deeply breathe Fear the fear- Fear the fear- Fear the fear Fear allowed us to survive But irrational dread paralyzes us Fear the fear- Fear the fear- Fear the fear I'm not a hero nor reckless But I will break my own chains And I will face my own demons Never afraid of my own fate Chills running through my spine Feeling my chest tightening up My heartbeat is speed up And my body covered in sweat Fear the fear- Fear the fear- Fear the fear I'm not a hero nor reckless But I will break my own chains And I will face my own demons Never afraid of my own fate Fear is not my Ciceron anymore My chance to change A new me to be discovered Leaving all my fears behind Fear the fear- Fear the fear- Fear the fear I'm not a hero nor reckless But I will break my own chains And I will face my own demons Never afraid of my own fate
5.	Pendulum 04:41	lyrics	buy track
The darkest night and the sunniest day The lonely desert the leafless forest Contradictory views of beauty Are the same with our feelings? My fears and my dreams Are always fighting The paradox of duality Sounds like a drum of war Echoing in my head Rise and fall Life is like a pendulum High and low Life is a big ying-yang Up and down We (all) live an inner war A battle that lasts a lifetime The river drowns into an open sea The leafless trees will flourish too This circle will keep turning Over and over and over again Like our voices in this song And like two sides in a coin You’ll never know the next move A maskered at the emotions palace Rise and fall Life is like a pendulum High and low Life is a big ying-yang Up and down We (all) live an inner war A battle that lasts a lifetime Rise and fall Life is like a pendulum High and low Life is a big ying-yang Up and down We (all) live an inner war Our battle defines our life time
6.	Ink on Paper (Verses Land Part I) 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Tonight's a night to make you shine Your words becoming alive They are leaving the paper There were created to be free You are my sane insanity in a feather A cry of terror and a flame of hope You are my way when I get lost All tears I shed and smiles I drawed My(Your) lover is just ink on paper In its words I(you) found my(your) weapon And the strength to keep fighting My(your) dear is just ink on paper In its words I(your) found my(your) affliction And the reason to keep living My(your) lover is just ink on paper A paper that time will erase Your words clear my soul Like tear-drops falling down my face Finding the perfect rhyme And making you beautiful Is an obsession that haunts me Because this bitter-sweet romance Is an illusion I created And a world inside my head Neither dead nor alive I am the eternal wanderer In the land of Versya Where naked emotions live Our theme is powerful Like a glare in the darkest emptiness. Caring while embracing loneliness This affair makes us fools Is a dream that we live. Because our bitter-sweet romance Is our blessing and punishment Just a tale on this parchment. My(Your) lover is just ink on paper In its words I(you) found my(your) weapon And the strength to keep fighting My(your) dear is just ink on paper In its words I(your) found my(your) affliction And the reason to keep living My(your) lover is just ink on paper A paper that time will erase Time will erase- Time will erase
7.	Chernoshima 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Sealed was our fate When all machines failed Sure was our death Going through the doors Of hell on earth Nobody left this place alive Warriors of a lost war Fighting an invisible enemy Who’s crushing under my skin And changing my dna Nineteen eighty six Chernobyl’s disease Two thousand eleven A wave shakes fukushima. Nineteen eighty six Empty promises Two thousand eleven Nuclear disaster again Sealed was our fate when alphas took our breath sure was our death when gammas pierced our skin Hanged on an electron for a bureaucrat's mistake We weren’t warriors Just a human sacrifice Cleaning other people’s errors Dying for them Nuclear disaster again! Locked in a dome No chance or hope There's only doom And you saved us all! Nineteen eighty six Chernobyl’s disease Two thousand eleven A wave shakes fukushima. Nineteen eighty six Empty promises Two thousand eleven Nuclear disaster again Nineteen eighty six Chernobyl’s disease Two thousand eleven A wave shakes fukushima. Nineteen eighty six Empty promises Two thousand eleven Nuclear disaster again
8.	Old Clock (feat. Status of the Dark) 03:08	lyrics	buy track
We can't change our past But we can't live on memories Experiences always changing us We may plan our future But every step it changes Present is where we are Size thus day it could be the last The second hand at this old clock Never stops and never turns back Tell me sand of this ancient clock Why we have to be all doomed? When my heart will stop Ending my life’s tempo I still will now a thing About what life’s a about I live here and now I Chace my dreams and hopes I have only one shot It's all I got The second hand at this old clock Never stops and never turns back Tell me sand of this ancient clock Why we have to be all doomed? Why do we all have to fade? homeostasis ending Encreasing entropy defining future time thundering wave of chaos reatring ife Tick-Tock-Clock / Tick-Tock-Clock/ Tick-Tock-Clock/ Tick-Tock-Clock/ Tick-Tock-Clock
9.	The Longest War 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Stars and stripes Falling over orient Arrogance of the empire With a force made of lies Oil sells better than a life Someone sees opportunities Twisting believers’ faith Killing in occident With promises of another life One thousand one Ages fighting each other In the longest war Of this twisted world Crusader sword and saber Should not collide Weapons may change But this war is the same Dissonant melodies Discordant roads This world cries Its eternal strife Living terrorized In sorrow and death Everlasting hatred In this orphaned earth One thousand one Ages fighting each other In the longest war Of this twisted world Crusader sword and saber Should not collide Weapons may change But this war is the same
10.	Storyteller (Verses Land Part II) 03:35	lyrics	buy track
What if all the words I wrote in these songs Were just a reflection of the madness in my mind? All I feel and all I am An open door to my open soul What if all the songs you read with these words Where just a big lie? I could build an empire And crush it down with fire Welcome to Versya’s land Meet – the storyteller Meet – the philosopher Meet – the illusionist Meet – the craziest Meet – the dreamer Meet – the writer The end of this song arrives???? But, will Alice wake up? Or will she fall into the mad hatter's hat? The end of this show comes But, will Snow wake up? Or will the Evil Queen win this time? So please don't turn yet the page My pen will have ink again So please don't turn off the lights There are more stories to tell Meet – the storyteller Meet – the philosopher Meet – the illusionist Meet – the craziest Meet – the dreamer Meet – the writer
