lyrics

Just look away if you feel ashamed
A new day equals another game to play
I have stopped believing in change
Everyone’s the same
Black suits with loans to pay

Phoney grins
Hollow smiles is the way to survive
Fake it till you make it they say
I’ts getting colder and colder each day

I am reaching out to blind eyes
Reflection is not our biggest quality
Digging deeper down the core in search for Eldorado
Wasting lives as we’re passing time

As the rain pours down
I can feel the fire burning inside my mind
Aas the rain pours down
Don’t let it burn out

Setting higher and higher goals
Never appreciate what we got
As time fades so does my faith
Has humanity reached expired date?

As profits expand
Resources goes down
We live our life
Only to feed the lie

I am reaching out to blind eyes
Reflection is not our biggest quality
Digging deeper down the core in search for eldorado
Wasting lives as we’re passing time

The need for more is a hunger that can’t be satisfied
It has been with the human race since the beginning of time
Our ignorance is growing faster and stronger each day
It’s a desire we will have to pay for long after we are gone

Standing far away
Watching the world go down
Till the end of time
Till the end of days they will never confess

Let go
Were at the end of the tide
The lights go out and we realise this can’t go on

Wake up!
Open your eyes!

Boundless

The modern, clean sound is almost clinical in it's precision. This is technical metal at it's finest in similar vein as Tesseract and Periphery. Though they follow the formula, there is enough integrity in Boundless to create a unique experience and makes me come back to this album time and time again. The only detractor I can raise is the mastering. In certain sections there are too many instruments vying for the same audio spectrum and the sound becomes a bit muddy. Still, 4 stars.
