Ahthos Arouris

by Conspiracy Of Zero

supported by

progdolphin thumbnail
progdolphin Conspiracy of Zero doesn't hit like the progressive death metal of Opeth nor the melodic death metal of Dark Tranquility, though from both some compositional tactics remain. Leading with wild harmonies stacked against gruff barks, sticky riffs, and bombastic drumming, this Greek act punches well above other emergent acts. Secret weapon, drummer George Baltas, steals the show with heroic yet tasteful fills, skillful dances around winding folk melodies—impossible to ignore. Get it while it's hot! Favorite track: We Both Bleed.

Afraid to feel, deny to see Bowed from fear and delusion you deny to leave An hour waiting for your allies Little white round soldiers vowed to tell you lies So, tell me where your freedom lies In oceans you seek for drops of light Attention whore, homicidal lore A vanity’s victim, no chance to reborn When need is a sigh enslaved in human’s face Freedom is the thing you must chase You’ve declared a war with your own self Like a ghost between the shadows roaming here and there Breath in breath out and kick the chair Another vein is gone, to ascend be prepared Get rid of this mess, get it straight man This fucking thing makes you lose your head I know you’re smart, I know life is hard Tune in to your height and take it like a man We are always one and of the same kind In the mirror a face with the sickest mind Tell me if life’s worth living at all Not only in dreams the heroes are strong
2.
Don’t close your eyes to the truth. realize it’s not a lie They exist and they live with me and you, little heroes are divine If you ever think that your life is hard, if you ever lose a fight You don’t have to give it much time because these heroes are divine Give respect to the true heroes of life Struggling, suffering and they are divine Immortal mechanical men with wheels instead of legs And others who see with the eyes of their souls and the rest who hear with their eyes Them who are sensitive in every stimulation with the softest of the souls And others who are bound to live illusions is it bad? Maybe not! Give respect to the true heroes of life Struggling, suffering and they are divine This is a tribute for the true fighters of life With their bald heads and the bold attitude, as well With their missing guts but lots of them to fight Unlike you and me
3.
Is that you want ? To leave you on the sidelines ? Dominant and alone is that what you want ? Outcast and fucking guilty for each of your lies Νow tell me is that what you need? Can’t you see we both bleed ? Growing in our restless visions to deceit Don’t mess with my life and I won’t with yours We’re living intertwined and independently of course Truth the mistake is usually on both sides let’s heal ourselves and move, move on Words in disguise to commanding intentions Manipulate and erase all of my existence Why do you yell again and again and again ? You are forcing me to lose myself Can’t you see we both bleed ? Growing in our restless visions to deceit Don’t mess with my life and I won’t with yours We’re living intertwined and independently of course Truth the mistake is usually on both sides let’s heal ourselves and move, move on Well, it’s not just you it’s me too Things are overwhelming here And I’m trying to figure it out Let’s establish connection and walk hand in hand

When you open your eyes but still they are closed When you can’t see the light anymore When you touch with your heart but you cannot feel When you scream in the darkness When all is gone Just sitting here, in an empty room His ancient blue eyes starring at you And sure know what he wants But you seek his truth And then he gets you a little off guard Touches your soul with his dirty hand You take two steps behind and try to leave the room But you can’t stop starring to those eyes That are filled with sadness and horror and they’re blue And they... Is this what the end feels like ? Is this life finally over ? Is this just another dream ? Is this the freedom ever wanted ? Is this the end of the worst nightmare ? The fear in his mind Painted The human in his eyes Fainted The glory of our future Faded The failure of our kind Granted
6.
You come here and try to impose yourself You tell lies and step on people Manipulative son of a bitch No, I cannot take it! Angelic face and manners good That is your mask but I know now You grabbed my need and work it well For your advantage! No, I won’t bow down I won’t low down my head I won’t stop this fight till I fucking drop dead You better be prepared cause I’m determined and armed This unknown protester though he is bleeding he stays unharmed For all of them who stole our freedom The media carnival and the other clowns Politicians who feed from our sadness Wild animals and we are their prey. We are lost, alone and uncompromising We make our small world however we want Unknown protesters fighting their battles But when we gang up on you revenge is our way. No, we won’t bow down we won’t low down our heads we won’t stop this fight till we fucking drop dead You better be prepared cause we ‘re determined and armed These unknown protesters though are bleeding we stay unharmed.

I Feel 11:38
I feel mere mortal and I follow When you walk into the room You're a goddess to believe in Give or take I owe you my life I was lost in a gutter Αnd you found me and I vow and I pray everyday, That we walk together side by side day or night I feel amazed also dazed From your existence so glamorous You're a goddess to believe in Give or take my life is yours Raindrops are dancing Out in the cold I don’t care I found my way Wind trees are bending By his mighty power Like I bend in your arms when we dance Hold my hand look deep in my eyes you exorcised my demons at once All my life Seeking for you in this Miserable life But now I’m complete We walk to the unknown Staying hand in hand I feel all the things that cant be said And you accept me and my sick self You're a goddess to believe in Give or take we have common fate I was lost in a gutter Αnd you found me and I vow and I pray everyday, That we walk together side by side day or night I feel grateful for your presence here And I’m emotional and weak and fucked up You're a goddess to believe in Give or take stakes are high and you guide my life Caress me with the blood of your sin Slow and still in blasphemy Teach me pain and teach me dream Engrave my skin with your grace Feed the fire in my face Test my will, haunt my needs Don't let break this chain wrist Sorrow mark your scar in me Slave to your love Sorrow mark your scar in me I know you're mine now
