- WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS - Remembering those days for so long I keep questioning myself What is left there now that you're gone We could surpass anything, time and space I hope you find your comfort I hope you find some better place I'll see you again when the night falls Reality ends as dreams go on I wish it could be different Like before We took pride in the roads we did tread But now I feel regret For the ones uncrossed and left ahead Time heals all so I've been told But the shivers sting like knives When night falls down dark and cold "The lyrics to the chorus on this one were written by our guitar player Damjan. This one goes out to anyone that has lost a good friend."

- EMBRACE THE FALL - Burdened with expectations We embellish it with thousand walls Hate admitting we are broken down Ignoring when we fall Captains of a sinking ships or kings of a fallen throne Never seem to face the fact All choices gone but one Embrace the fall, when we sink or when we crawl The time has come to strive Failing sometimes feels more alive Find some strength that's left inside And surface with a fight Face up with the beatings Bury your fists in stone Meet the truth with smile and greetings Admit and overcome Embrace the fall "This was written in a rough period of my life when I lost perspective on everything and I was trying to force certain situations and I didn't realize that I have reached the bottom along the process. I refused to admit I’ve lost the battle and I was just holding on to the scattered pieces that my life has become. Only by admitting defeat we can start over. Only by admitting that we’ve lost the battle we can continue the war."

- FINAL CHAPTER - My engine's broken down I wish things were the same Seeking for some answers To put the pieces back into frame I tried to follow you down this trail I was soaking in every drop But now I feel betrayal Renew/rectify – to make up for all the lost time Regret/deny – insure that things remain right Relive/retry – no point in asking why You came to me as a curse When I praised you like a god My efforts fell as waste, nailed and crucified I hope those moments will fade away Words written in stone Now are dead and gone What's done is done "People often tend to scrape the pieces when they come out from a long-term relationship to relive those memories and they keep forcing something that's dead and gone. Bury your bitter past, move on and forget."

City Lights 02:53
- CITY LIGHTS - I walk these streets alone without a home Or a place for me to be The city lights keep following me as far as I can see Concrete slumbers lightly, receding from behind The urban stamp dictates hiding what storms inside Forever, seems like I carved it yesterday With ideas I still hold sanctity As I witness their slow decay Without hope as I'm left on my own Still walk these streets alone Searching under every stone With every breath and bone I hope I'm not alone Just songs left for me to shout In times of obscurity and doubt Obstacles rising in the way Slipping slowly day by day With spark deep within With my very last breath This street is my guide These lights are my strength "Sometimes the city can really suffocate you and you find yourself questioning all your ideas and views on life and you just need to escape from it all. As much as the city can fulfil you it can also drain you completely. This song is dedicated to our home-town Zagreb."
5.
Silent War 03:33
- SILENT WAR - Salvation within reaching hand But struggle against the odds never seems to end Distracted with outward threat When wars are waging inside your fucking head You never asked me why The strength to be alive Silent war like crushing tide Clash with rage from the inside Blaze unleashed, on these knees you bow There's no rain and no hope from above Ignorant, of what lies beneath Accept all your conflicts and spit them through your teeth Impulsion, like hammering nails Initiate the battle that hibernates in ourselves You never ask me why The strength to be alive Silent war "A bunch of us have a habit of engaging in conflicts of ideas that surround us and we somehow always have someone else to blame for our own problems and demons. Before referring and conflicting the things that are around we must first deal with the conflicts that are piling up inside of us. Only when we are at peace with ourselves we can truly stand strong through life outside."

The Epitome 02:07
- THE EPITOME - We are the lost endeavour An obstacle left ahead Or do we proudly bare the torch Of what once was said We are the bottled rage A cavity in the norm Or are we a delusional force A wreckage after the storm We are a falling fortress A drop in a one-way stream Or do we still hold true The will to follow through We are an ageing record A voice of a dying dream Or do we still defy The retribution of a lie We are the silenced effort An Armageddon that will never come We are a frame without picture A digit without a sum We are the bleeding chest A dagger straight to the bone We are scattered we are form We are the epitome "This one was written in time when I was constantly questioning ones involvement in hardcore and punk and do we really as a subculture have any impact on the outside. Do we really defy the outside world? Do we really differ that much from a daily routine we are force to cope with? I hope we do. This song is a question not a conclusion."
7.
- CHRONICLE OF HATE - Reminiscing murder, romanticizing war They impose their morals and keep demanding more Prepare to be stigmatized Your actions and sentiments They stand for the common thought with no regret This is the anger Soaked from this land The way of the hatred With pride in their hearts and blood on their hands Condemning us with ignorance and hatred They shut us up with nails and stones Reduce us down to numbers They beat us down till our mouths are sewn I won't bow down to the imagery Of death and destruction they are forcing on me I will never take pride in their righteous fight I will never lose sight to what is right "The war in Croatia is often viewed as something sacred and people here take pride in the bloodshed that took place and when you have a certain difference of opinion you come across a dogmatic boundary. Speaking against war you are automatically labelled as a traitor. This song is not against this country, it is against the political and economical apparatus and against mentality and close-minded views of the people that prevails over here. War sucks in any form and any way."
