Desire for days that will not come
Machinery at play we are all chained and cannot run
A scream of rust as the gates swing shut, trapping all inside
A complex framework to stand through time
Made of bones the blood and steel
Of those who came before to serve
On the greener side hope decays
Tyranny defined
A never changing, hive-like mind
Holds you down, binds you tight, and tells you everything will be just fine
Here in the grayest dawn of our time
We are the chained
We are the lost
These words of poison
Don't come from on high
You plead with an empty and uncaring sky
A tear in the cloud, growing fast
A monolith of fear
A hall of bone, echoed screams
Rancid with despair
We will be the face of a new age
From nine to five, our lives were wasted anyway
Burst out from the never ending sorrow in your life
The vision of a hell
Made just for you
In dreams of silver starlit fields
Thoughts will walk alone
Down a quiet path
To a sleeper cell of their oblivion
In a veil of ash, lies our fate
Servility denied
The greener side aflame
A merciless refrain:
A word of gold, death, and strife
Inside the broken construct of night
Revolution within our sight
Rise, for society
Free of a tyrannical hand
We crash upon the gates to find
They have left us all behind
Divided we fall
Fractal Gates presents a very approachable and uncomplicated style of melodic death metal that is extremely affective. A constant stream of riffs and melodies that are catchy, infectious, and even fun. Some synthesizer elements give added depth too. Simply put this is a must check out release. 8/10 RJ
