Stepping out of the train Whole new town whole new game And as you shake my hand You just sealed your fate Dead body in the air Of someone you've seen yesterday It's time to investigate The cops won't figure this out Stand up holding down To your faith don't fall If you ever go Down then take my hand See past through the fog Reach out to the truth The strength of the soul Powers the wildcard Stuck on dead end We got no damn clue Someone's pulling the strings The killings can't go on But he was here all along With his manipulation He played us like toys But we'll stop him how Stand up holding down To your faith don't fall If you ever go Down then take my hand See past through the fog Reach out to the truth The strength of the soul Powers the wildcard He was here all along He was here all along He was here all along He was here all along Stand up holding down To your faith don't fall If you ever go Down then take my hand See past through the fog Reach out to the truth The strength of the soul Powers the wildcard yeah, yeah!

Born into a twisted hellish world Bloodline of mankind's saviors Condemned to fight for a living Stripped out of his legacy Destruction came for his family But revenge is drawing near Domination thirsty demons Spread chaos unrelentlessly Seeking human blood for power Mercenary with no mercy Blade and powder up on his enemies Fearless gaze shuts the gates of hell Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up to rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up and rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind The massive tower emerges Destroying the land Enfolding a gauntlet Testing your might Above the tower The ultimate challenge A fight to the death With your long lost brother Your call for action is here Sharpen your blade and take leave This ordeal you can't quit The demon world begins converging The time of crisis is drawing near The red sky brings despair Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up to rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up and rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind Might controls everything Without strength, you cannot protect anything Let alone yourself Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up to rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind Rise up and don't hesitate Rise up and rip and tear away Rise up your guns and blast away Demon of a kind yeah! Demon of a kind Demon of a kind yeah!

Wake up little one Tell me what brings you here Your skin is cold and fragile It worries me to see you perish here Come with me so you can live Hold my hand And walk with me to my home I'll make you butterscotch pie And read for you Like how he used to love These aging walls Hold memories of simple times But this grudge I hold on 'till this day will Keep you safe from all the danger Now settle down Lay down your distressed head It will all be okay So stay with me So you can fill my heart You are just like all of them Spitting on the plate you ate Everytime I try to save your soul All you think is running away Show me that you're capable of Facing the man who wants you dead Show me the power, the will To make this world a better place

about

Escapism is the second album in my discography, now fully realized with the production quality it needed.
This album represents many forms of media that accompanied me in my childhood to adolescence, they've helped me endure the loneliness and confusion of my upbringing and gave me an escape from the real world when the struggle became too hard.
My approach to the sound here was influenced a lot by Metallica in the guitar tone, Alice in chains in some vocal parts and TOOL in some of the song structuring and transitional tracks like Divinity Statue.
