An aesthetic perfection Drenched in a deception Perceptions evolve, burn and dissolve Here’s a scapegoat for all to see Cast into the depths of hell Still you buy what they sell We won’t be ruled by the dead Ruled by the dead again An endless regression A hopeless obsession Dancing to the same old tune Giving yourself away again Cast into the depths of hell Still you buy what they sell We won’t be ruled by the dead Ruled by the dead again A burn mark infested in your mind An institutionalized discrimination And so it is done when ignorance has won So it is done – intolerance has won And so it will be done – we won’t be ruled again

Deceiver 03:50
Inglorious deceiver Head lost in the clouds Take the nearest exit There’s one way out Three steps down Lies reality as you swept it Into soothing lies Deception’s eyes watch and deny Deceiver, you are lost I cannot be the victim This place is lost I will not be the victim The truth is yet to be heard So take the sting away The pain isn’t real Like the stain on the perfect picture Into regression Into submission This is succession This denial The truth is yet to be told Nine eyes staring No contracts without the sword The only sovereign reign supreme Bring your death to the people Deceiver, your mandate is lost in the cause The truth is fragile and numb I’ve burned my lessons into my skin You’ll burn the truth - I’ll burn you with it So let you be trusted So let you be loved Give light to blind Give the light you take away

Gehenna 06:38
Like a sun shining from above Bringing light into my heart You remind me of the spring Bathing me in a soothing sleep Yet you remain a myth You drift away again As my fall became my pride I found a way back home Gehenna As my fall became my pride I found a way back home You remain the air I breathe The path I chose to take Bringing all things back Resurrect me in your picture Make me whole again Take me into your light You remain the reign inside Bringing light into our lives

Freedom can best be understood By those who’ve been oppressed But have never kneeled before a tyrant Underneath lies a hell we crawled back in Contradictions evolve in the illusion of choice When to select there is only one There’s only one choice This is as far as we get This is as far as we get if we close our eyes again We create our own reality So don’t take a corroded truth for granted So discontent yet so remorseful Disown your nightmare, your vivid cell A contorted view, so calculated You ran away, still you stay right here We’re building castles of pretence We were dreamers Shocked by the cold air of deceit This is the pinnacle of man A zenith of power and disgust An intent designed for no one else than the powers to be In the web of beliefs you’ll find yourself battered, broken down In the web of beliefs you’ll realize that nothing’s what it seems
5.
The Sleep 03:58
In time there is no progression We will be lost And so will you Can you turn the page you’re dying to read? Can you see the things dying to be? We are so unresolved and full of it Convulsions in the flesh Oblige to the fun of the irony In time we will be free But we can’t wait for it again I shed my skin as you turn away I turn the bells I reverse the effect The joke’s on you but you’re not biting You’re only biting time Biding your time to see me dissolve The sleep is over We won’t be free We cannot see This isn’t over In time we will see clear We cannot stay The sleep is over Now it’s all over Now it’s falling over me
6.
Snakes 03:06
spit-lickers, backstabbers, all the smiles, all the same styles pre-designed opinions carried by minions what a cross to bear a victim conformed to the norm we’re the solution we are completion you will burn down and cease to exist until then we’ll remain a spit in your face you talk the talk opinions aside you’re clueless a pre-conceived overrated piece of shit step down so you don’t get hurt conforming to the norm is that your purity? there is no purity too ashamed to look me in the eye the score will be set i guess you’ll eat your words again a homicidal bastard with a smile on his lips everyday grows old with a promise unfulfilled there are no solutions, there’s no end to this we’ll prophesize on chaos and watch the world burn snakes i never liked you and i never will the score will be set it’s good that you’re here to take your defeat i am the sin you are the prey prey on the weak

Omnivore 08:40
i welcome the dead into my soul for every step there’s a hell in me no salvation, no redemption only agony i’ve spilled before you before you leave you should know this i rest inside you and every thought becomes real into nightmares you oblige to follow me down for every step stray from the path an icon for all to loathe explanations are obsolete no perfect place to stay i will curse your every move for every step stray from the path i will curse your every move for every step stray from the path this hell is real the pain i feel i welcome the dead into my soul it suits me fine that you rot brother, thou art sick i am the glass in the mouth of a liar submerged into darkness i will find my way into the light i will find rest for my soul

about

By The Patient Denmark

While often being compared to Amon Amarth and Behemoth by reviewers, By the Patient is taking a new approach on the Scandinavian metal sound by not limiting to specific genres. They incorporate catchy tunes, grooves, and have found the perfect balance between melody and intensity.

The third album, due out in 2014, sees the band exploring new musical approaches as well as perfecting their craft.
