1.	Dark Road 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Dark Road Trapped under ice with no man in sight Feeling the pain from holding the knife Disguised always as myself To walk among the lights in hell Electrocute Feel the suit Engage miniguns Im bulletproof Don’t die for me Won't die for you Livin inside this empty grave evil fights We survive Hide away Until light arrives / light arrives Don’t you hesitate Just desecrate All this hate Watch the power of those Crumble in pride I know the truth Where they're buried alive I’ve seen the clock Their death will be near And where they go The devil will Steer Rebel in the night Try to live and tell The shame you felt Locked and captured Were anchored in Don’t let go You fell Down that dark road Watch the power of those Crumble in pride I know the truth Where they're buried alive I’ve seen the clock Their death will be near And where they go The devil will Your evil is done My wings have spread I'll fly away and you'll be dead Corrupted and loss No compass fix Rot in this cell Die from sick This is what you do when you think of me I am not the one you want to be This is what you do when you think of me I am not the one you want to feed This is what you do when you think of me I am not the one you want to feed I will succumb To the order This blackened halo Brings evil with the smoke It has been done Wings have spread Open the gates Off with their heads
2.	Ghost Lights 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Ghost lights Turn on the Ghost lights Shine on these Dark nights Awaken all Allies And nuetralize The evil backs off Black tarred and feathered With rusty horns They dissolve with no effort When there is no light to guide us Life is in reverse It’s in reverse When there is no hope to shine for us Life is in reverse Its In reverse They will follow What is next Sacrifice Disrespect Embody visions Clear the fields Stand your ground Hold your shields A guarded roadside appeared through the shadows A hollow coal mine filled up with echoes Im safe at last Hands made from thorns Sliced onto the skin Escaping Turn on the Ghost lights Shine on these Dark nights Awaken all Allies And neutralize When there is no light to guide us Life is in reverse It’s in reverse When there is no hope to shine for us Life is in reverse Its In reverse Its In reverse

Magnitudes Aggression! Power! Into the red Run the blade across your head Resist! Charge! Full Embodied lead Preparation gone you’re already dead Lay down the fire, flank on all sides Don’t know what’s coming but you enjoy the ride Running deep far into the fight There is no limit now only the fire of light Chorus Magnitudes Magnitudes! Clear your spirit Magnitudes magnitudes! There is no limit Magnitudes The end of it all Don’t follow me I’m lost inside my head The magnitudes will bring knowledge to the dead Don’t follow me I’m lost inside my head The magnitudes will bring knowledge to the dead Magnitudes Magnitudes! Clear your spirit Magnitudes Magnitudes! There is no limit Magnitudes The end of it all Ground breaks Splits in two Hold on Through and through Flames rise The Moon glows Stars fight Clouds grow Magnitudes Magnitudes! Clear your spirit Magnitudes Magnitudes! There is no limit Magnitudes The end of it all Magnitudes
4.	Shadow Life 05:55	lyrics	buy track
Shadow Life (intro) Haunted by the lies that blind (verse 1) False perceptions of true desires What could have been, what never was Reflected in the mirrors of the mind Other words converge, and other lives diverge Persistent in unreality (pre-chorus) What could have been What would have been The dreams that made you What never was What will never be The lies you can’t escape (chorus) The shadow life, it haunts you These dreams you can never have The shadow life, it calls you These lives that you’ll never have (verse 2) A broken soul A darkened smoke Another wish you never spoke / a wish you never spoke A turning tide A waylaid plan Another grain of shifting sand Waste away, chasing ghosts What is left? All or none? Push away the blackest thoughts What could have been What would have been The dreams that made you What never was What will never be The lies you can’t escape (chorus) The shadow life, it haunts you These dreams you can never have The shadow life, it calls you These lives that you’ll never have (bridge 4:34 - 4:44) Empty devotion to hollow ideals On shattered glass you choke! (outro 5:20 - 5:42) The ghosts you chase? Just lies embraced. True life defined by paths erased. Guilt and burden are heavy weights. The quiet mind burns down the shadow lies!
5.	Kingdom For My Corpse 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Kingdom for my Corpse I’m curious to what you crave CRAVE Revenge is what I need I will feed In she shadows I will stay STAY I will mold you into me And feed on your misery The clear path of agony Left only one thing in need Anchored down in solid stone There it lies the eternal throne I will mold you Into me And feed on your Misery The clear path of agony Left only one thing in me A corpse corpse corpse a kingdom for my A corpse corpse corpse a kingdom for my Angels filled with anger With dark wings they fly Devil rides through the castle Napalm flames fill the sky I will mold you Into me And feed on your Misery The clear path of agony Left only one thing in me I will mold you Into me And feed on your Misery I will mold you Into me And feed on your Misery
6.	The Deep End 03:43	lyrics	buy track
The Deep End [explicit] Wrong turn Stay to long and you will burn Wrong way Buried to your neck everyday Wrong turn Stay to long and you may learn The right way That ashes fall and float away Heavy In my heart To witness The Trauma It’s pumping Can’t see me Holding the hand Fixing Wrong turn Stay to long and you will burn Wrong way Buried to your neck everyday Wrong turn Stay to long and you may learn The right way That ashes fall and float away Wake up from this Forever sleep Chances are slim Stuck in the dream It’s not fucking fair It’s not fucking fair

ARC New York, New York

A complex fusion of organic and synthetic, ARC seamlessly blend the brutality and melody of modern extreme metal with the retrofuturistic synthesized electronica of synthwave in a total assault upon the senses, capped off by a frenetic stage show comprised of lasers and smoke, blood and sweat, and the furious energy of the band’s will to dominate. ... more
