Your twisted fate
Moved the sky
At heaven's gate
Your mouth is dry
Wanting to go home
Human to the bone
You lost the way
Have you lost your mind
I'm right beside you
Just take your time
Would you like to see what's become of me
In a picturesque reality
Drowning in you
Feel the steady beat of your pacing feet
And the broken heart inside your chest
There is no control
In the sky where the moon will fall
Below the horizon, as day conquers all
Look to the night as the stars show you the way
Wait for the sun to rise and start the day
Feel the flesh underneath your skin
Breathe life into me again
Taste the wind and where its been
Hear your pulse as it stops again
And I should've known it would come to this
Living through metamorphosis
Anything you've ever wanted
Is nothing but your greed that's holding you
Back from all you've ever needed
To keep up this facade that you are fine
Cross the line
Human to the bone
Our path set in stone
The life you have known
Retrace your steps back home
Go forward
Move slower into the blinding light
Cross the line
Truth won't come any closer to you
Your lies will try to control you for your life
See body out of mind
Second set of eyes
Looking far beyond
Past the light of dawn
Don't you mind
It takes time to get to know you
Life goes by too fast
To get to know the world
Or the hell beneath it
You’ve seen this before
It’s nothing new, only repetition
Cycling back to the start
It’s difficult to make any sense of our mortal coil
From beginning to an end, we still are flesh and blood
Human to the bone
Our path set in stone
The life you have known
Retrace your steps back home
Human to the bone
Our light never shown
A life never told
How to find the way back home

The lights from overhead
It leaves your vision red
And makes you close your eyes
Were blinded by hypocrisy,
And give ourselves to greed
Watch the guilty feed
Stop, regain focus
Spirits broken, as lies are spoken
I can tell that were lying again
Sleeping minds
Don’t realize what it means to be alive
Blinded eyes
Can’t see what left to discover
Meanings lost in old translations
Defies imaginations
Hear the volume of the universe
How it sings to all who listen in
Listen well
They took it all from me
They stole my eyes to see
And left me in the dark
They never let you be what you wanted to be
They were the ones that closed the prison door
Don’t sit here and wait for the day and you won’t need to pray
For you to get what you deserved, committed by yours truly
Living blissfully ignorant is like
Dying, not having seen it all
Sleeping minds
Don’t realize what it means to be alive
Blinded eyes
Can’t see what left to discover
Meanings lost in old translations
Defies imaginations
Hear the volume of the universe
How it sings to all who listen in
Listen well
Sleeping minds
Don’t realize what it means to be alive
Blinded eyes
Can’t see what left to discover
Meanings lost in old translations
Defies imaginations
Hear the volume of the universe
How it sings to all who listen in
So listen well

The Digression Theory

You wield your mighty pen
With ink that’s running thin
Conceptualize, observe your creation
Chaotic designs, as stories entwine and correlate
Read my mind
Decipher all this speculation
Realize
We’re living in an artificial lie
Unrelated words on a page
Only connected by those who create
We consume to escape, the story of our lives
An equation, by which we tie the bind
But I digress, I concede, to the world in front of me
This life isn't fiction, it's a truth that we can’t deny
Progress lost, are we at fault
For holding back
Again this has happened once before
Repeat the past
Will we last?
Words coming, flowing out
Repeat, monotonous redundancy
But I digress, I concede, to the world in front of me
This life isn't fiction, it's a truth that we can’t deny
Expressions from your lips
Felt through my fingertips
The dots on the page, create vivid imagery
While I cannot see, the silence you speak is deafening
Synthesize
No reason for your second guessing
Recognize
There never was a truth for us to find
When we turn the next page
And see the world we’d create,
Once a concept, has taken control
Now we come close to the end
And our hearts start to mend
Feel the catharsis, release of the soul
But I digress, I concede, to the world in front of me
This life isn't fiction, it's a truth that we can’t deny

Hammer and Nail Pt. One
08:16

With the final act on stage before you
Players in a play
As the curtain calls, you tear down your walls
The orchestra now plays
“As you obverse, you see through all the smoke and mirrors
Suspend your disbelief, enjoy the act you see
Till we leave the stage”
“Leave it to me, and you’ll see
That i’m the apostle
Lead me to the end”
(Follow me down)
Were buried deep
In truths that we were meant to keep
But you’re the unfortunate liar
I trust in the sound
As the hammer strikes down
I raise the Hammer
I have something to ask
When will this all pass?
I'm trying harder, forgive me please
I'm desperate to find the answer
As we fly forever after
As her life moves far. Way beyond our reach
Reach for my hand, you don't understand
Why your an accomplice, to my crimes
Stay where you are, nothing’s ever that far
They want to be stars, till they lose all heart
They will guide you to me
Follow and we’ll meet past the end
Underneath the surface of this place we keep
Were caught in the scorching fire
Living far underground,
Where the sun’s never found
A nail in coffin
“Follow me behind the scenes
Witness my charity”
“Sinners and saints are as they seem
Selfish liars
They become actors for a day
Then are fired”
“I use the gavel in my hand
For their judgement
So will you come to up the stand
you the new lead in the show.”

Hammer and Nail Pt. Two

Tied up, bound in my gilded chains
Waiting for my judgement day
Fooled by facade, of a smile ear to ear
The feeling of hope, what a childish idea
Day after day, I await for the start
I’ll try to keep up, so I won't miss my part
Just say the words, and i’ll follow your lines
I’ve begged and i’ve prayed, but I’m too short on time
There is nothing to fear, the day has drawn near
Besides, once I am through, I know he will come for you
You must wait and see, don’t believe your eyes
Just keep in the light, he waits in the night for you
“Just don’t run away, You’ll be a star, its true
You’ll see her again, but after your contract expires”
“Come watch the show, there is much to believe, a sight to be seen
You won't want to go, there is much here to see, but none to believe
Here’s your new home, go and find me a lead, one that’ll scream for us (someone for us)
How many acts has it been? I lost count many years ago”
Time slowed down, giving time to think about
Life, losing, time just started moving
Words were written, secrets hidden
Time moves slower, life is over
Hammer left the nail in coffin
Closing curtain, empty stage
Hammer meets the nail
Heaven leads to hell
Hell is what's inside
Heaven left behind
“Take a bow, the show is over
Lights above like jacob's ladder
Take a breath and come backstage
There is another show to play”
Murder’s not the task for me
I’ll be the one to play the lead
Heaven has no place for you or me
Still buried deep
In truths that we were forced to keep
But I’m the unfortunate liar
We have nowhere to stay, ‘cause heaven turned us both away
Were trapped in eternal fire
When the curtains descends
All will come to an end
I'll drop my hammer
Drop my hammer

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10
