about

We finished this track for our "official" 1st anniversary, since we launched our Facebook page at the end of October 2015.
This track was originally written in 2013 for our Death Metal band "Expire" but it was quite progressive already so we worked it out further and here is what we've come up with.

Lyrics:
=====

Everything has changed
And all has stayed the same
I know I have lost the game

Living from day to day
Waiting for the end
Losing the will to stay
For one thing will not bend

The game has already ended
Still I'm struggling on and on
To win the fight against myself
A war that's to be won

Remembering when it all began
When I was sure of victory
Memories of optimism
Tightening my misery

The opponent never had attacked
Still it came all over me
Never had a chance to defend myself
When already I had been defeated

Everything has changed
And all has stayed the same
I know I have lost the game

But in my head
The defeat has not been accepted yet
