I’m opening myself [I. Awake at Night] Time has also passed Through his eyes Salt road wrinkle scars Are writing the path Of a thousand memories Soon forgotten He is awake at night Wishing to cry But the tears ain’t coming He is wondering why He is awake but alive Crucify His ocean is falling is falling inside out He must keep the secret No one will ever know It’s the only way To end suffering He knows as a man There will be no place for regrets From now and on He’ll be closed and broken inside As a child Running away From his demons, playing Sometimes A simple stumble Is enough to let them reach you He is awake at night Wishing to cry But the tears ain’t coming He is wondering why He is awake but alive Crucify His ocean is falling is falling inside out He must keep the secret No one will ever know The guilt will be stalking Forever He knows as a man There will be no place for regrets This will be a weight He’ll carry even in his last breath [II. Gaze In The Sky] He’s lying in his bed As life turns into routine Something inside his head Shown in his dreams A vision of a bird Cutting his wings Life lived by someone else Drowning in sorrow A child looks at the sky With tears in his eyes Creating the road of rage and solitude and pain They’re falling on his face But are not accepted The look in the sky Is for drowning the tears instead A little hollow inside Slowly it got bigger But when you’re used to be in pain You realize when it’s too late Spilled and scattered That something from the ditch Can he ever turn it back? Life lived by someone else Drowning the sorrow Sinking at the sea Soaked in agony A man looks at the sky With tears in his eyes Feeding the road of rage and solitude and pain It’s falling for his face But now they are accepted The look in the sky Is making a decision He must keep the secret But not for too long Soon there will be No waiting, no tomorrow Sometimes we need a signal And it’s in front of us The knot in his hands May be able to make him see it [III. Forgiveness] Now I’m with the rope around my neck I tight the knot It’s all I see just to be free I am willing to left my past behind I thought I could fly I was born to have these broken wings Please forgive me, to all my friends; Thank you for having stayed with me Forgive me, brother, but I’m just fine You taught me to die in what I love Forgive me, mother, you must be strong I hope in death you can absolve me too Forgive me, my love, but I’ll be okay Sorry for not keeping the promise Now all the colors are turning gray… “I tried to accept the people I love as they really are. Do not suppose, do not blame me for feeling, for loving, for being human, for being alive. I really wish to stop running away but it seems this is my only way out. Then I saw it” A portrait of us A solid-state of time Your gaze traveled Through my red one I would enter the sun Just to see you smile In your arms I really found home I promised you that we will see the stars in the sky, that we will see the universe, I promised you the moon and the sun, the space and it’s darkness Just as an astronaut can see it.

Depth 06:00
I’m at the edge of life I am breaking designs I’ll write my name On the wall Carving this quietness Feeling disgusting phantoms Bury me higher My throne are destroyed skulls I know that life and death Have the same depth Look into my eyes See my pain Feel my wrath See me rise I am an Underdog Hopelessness Scream with me Surrounded by beasts They try to push me out These ghosts around me Are seeking for the truth I know that life and death Have the same depth Your world is My witness Inside there are Oceans to read I know that life and death Have the same depth

Why do you escape from my hands? I try to run with you But you simply disappear You never stop And you don’t care if I get lost In which step you decide to go? Give me the opportunity To delay my destiny To be able to breathe deeply And feel the friction of liberty I wish to be like you Leave it all behind Without caring anything The last grain is falling I wish to be like you Taking life as giving life But maybe it’s all in my mind And there’s nothing that you hide As the last grain falls Why you make me suffer so much? When I want to hold your hand You deprive me of your wisdom And provide me hell I wish to be like you Leave it all behind Without caring anything The last grain is falling I wish to be like you Taking life as giving life But maybe it’s all in my mind And there’s nothing that you hide As the last grain falls Even though I’ve never been able to reach you I know I have my realm Of last grains of sand I’m begging for one more chance To prove myself that I can I know my time is passing by So tonight I’ll reach the sky I wish to be like you Leave it all behind Without caring anything The last grain is falling I wish to be like you Taking life as giving life But maybe it’s all in my mind And there’s nothing that you hide As the last grain falls I know my time is reduced Another brief star in the night So turn around And watch me do it

Let It Leave 05:36
I surprised myself last night Expecting a self-suicide Something inside is hurting I let it leave Just let it leave The deepest pain will always win Neither with a smile in disguise It’s what you are now The wound and you Are only one The deepest scar Will always make you run And coming back Like a bird in flight but in reverse The deepest pain Made what you are today Never mends by a constant feeding It’s the diamond in the rocks It makes you honest with your soul Today I want to remove Those diamonds in me The blood in the floor Always reminds me that I am still alive but not breathing The deepest scar Will always make you run And coming back Like a bird in flight but in reverse That night It was the coldest night I have ever felt And I was simply tired Tired of being A purposeless mirror Something that cannot Reflect the light I always thought That in a moment like this Something or someone Would save me But it seems The deepest scar Will always manage to win The deepest scar Will always make you run And coming back Like a bird in flight but in reverse

Deaf & Aside 04:17
So you call me a weakling And you think I betrayed you Maybe you are going through something Maybe you will regret it Cause in the final hour You always know what you are I was born in this arena Used to feel that I’m Trapped in your own bubble lie In a dream that you want What you said was loud Was loud enough But I made myself deaf and aside Keep searching, you won’t find There is nothing to snatch So I need to keep myself aside You can take everything There is truth in the lies There are a lot of words That doesn’t need to be spoken So you say there’s a meaning In anything you do Maybe you didn’t catch the sign Maybe we used to feel that we’re Trapped in our own bubble lie In a dream that we want What you said was loud Was loud enough But I made myself deaf and aside Keep searching, you won’t find There is nothing to snatch So I need to keep myself aside What you said was loud Was loud enough But I made myself deaf and aside Keep searching, you won’t find There is nothing to snatch So I need to keep myself aside

I invite you to look inside To go beyond the heart To dare to touch the untouched To feel the unknown familiar I’m inviting you to cry To clean your child old soul To accept the fear like a friend To begin having faith in yourself To see the miracle of life To assume that’s only in your hands To be the change that you want For the world we live in I just want To invite you to live I invite you to be part To be the helping hand To start smiling again To be the sunlike fire I’m inviting you to scream The sorrow that is drowning you To walk to the same side of fear To make your way without a doubt To confront who you really are To cry your pain like a waterfall To be the change that you want For the world we live in I just want… Even when the sky Is falling You know Sometimes it turns unbearable To avoid the pain To be the change that you want For the world we live in All that’s left Through this path Is to stand straight…

“I was trapped in this web, trapped in this condition, spending too much time creating patrons of thoughts to make me believe, but I was afraid, afraid of the rejection, avoiding caress… Once upon a time, some things happen and you don’t always realize, until they leave…” I’m exploring a single time To forget who I am To restore my soul And start all over I’m on my knees Staring down at the floor These legs are too old They are too weak To stand me up I’m going to fade here. So you don’t understand what we have? The fact is nothing Once upon a time There are some things that happen You don’t always realize Until they leave I’m trapped when we met I guess in the final hour You always know what you are And where’s your place to be I’m seeking just one moment To forget who I am I think it’s okay to feel like drowning Be like a stranger in the mirror Behind me it still remains The reflection of the birth Falling down To the place where it begins I run But I need to relive it Once upon a time You don’t realize Until it leaves I’m trapped when we met I guess in the final hour You always know what you are And where’s your place to be I’m seeking just one moment To forget who I am Closing, expecting an opening All alone with myself And my friends that’ll never mend I am watching my shape lift I’ll never leave the sun The astronaut is me I perceive mom at father’s home She holds his hand I’m closing myself

about

Han pasado 3 años desde el álbum anterior, si bien se pensó que este segundo álbum iba a ser un proceso más rápido, la verdad es que tiene mucho trabajo detrás, además de mucha frustración, ya que mezclar y masterizar no es para nada un proceso fácil, pero también mucho orgullo de poder presentarlo.

En términos generales, el álbum es mucho más profundo y personal que 'Lifeless To Deathless', por un lado abarcando temas como la decepción de quienes amas, el tener que alejarse de seres queridos para no sufrir, el suicidio como vía de escape y por otro lado, mensajes más positivos, sobre valorar las cosas que nos rodean y hacernos cargo de nuestra propia felicidad, aunque sea difícil.

"Musicalmente, quise explorar mucho más los elementos progresivos que los elementos más pesados, si bien tiene de ambos, todas las canciones, a excepción de la balada (si, hay una balada) tiene instrumentales, donde creo que se notará la influencia de Dream Theater o Symphony X.

Durante mucho tiempo quise hacer algo original, que no hubiera sonado nunca, siento que estaba perdiendo el foco entre hacer algo innovador y hacer lo que me gusta, muchas veces escuchaba ciertas partes y me decía a mi mismo "esto parece algo escrito por DT" y fue por eso mismo que quise mantenerlo, porque es la música que quiero escuchar, quiero hacer música para mi y disfrutarla, es por eso que intento no limitarme, si sueno parecido a otra banda, bueno, ¿que tanto? "

La caratula representa un pequeño momento en la canción principal del álbum" The Astronaut", el reflejo del casco es una proyección del futuro, al encontrarse de espalda a lo que debe afrontar, donde finalmente lo deja todo, por un solo propósito.

¡Este álbum también cuenta con la ayuda de invitados especiales!
Pablo Nadinic de Éntomos
Carlos Palma y Jaime Calderón de Fénix - Progresivo Metrifusion
Braulio Morales
Víctor Quezada
ARONMASS
Mauricio Catalán de Pronoias Vitalist Solus Ex Inferis quien además me ayudó con el sonido de las guitarras.
Y a Renzo Molina, por siempre ayudarme a corregir las letras

¡Muchas gracias por ser parte de este proyecto!
