How can I feel the flame
glowing deep inside my chest,
when all I’ve ever aimed for
was to surpass all the rest?
I’ve never seen beyond the surface of success
The reward to be the best
Or the best that I can be
You against me
It’s not about you and me or the difference between
I’m slowly losing touch with the world inside of me
Show me the truth, the truth in me
Knowing myself will set me free

Imbalance
01:37
|
|||
|
Get off your throne of self-adulation
You sons and daughters of occupation,
injustice and inequality
Profiteers of blood-stained history
And the sun will set for you, too
Ignorant minds are destined to lose
There’s only light because of dark
Torn in two
Shadows remained, outlived the past
You don’t care, don’t want to understand
the heritage of dominance
Imbalance of power, imbalance of peace
Imbalance of prosperity
And the sun will set for you, too
Ignorant minds are destined to lose
Maybe one day you’ll get it in your fucking head
That your pretty life is built on blood shed

The Difference
01:01
|
|||
|
Concoct stories, try to pretend
that you’re standing alone with the truth in your hands
Retracing the steps, you stumble in the dark
Always surrender when your facts fall apart
Searching for an easy way to prove
yourself in a world we can’t see through
There’s a difference between
The universe and your own reality

Duality Of Time
01:54
|

Duality of time
As we started to breathe
True beauty of a moment
A life in between
All we’ve ever done we left behind
Dusted thoughts blown off our minds
Silenced or could we be deaf?
A chance not taken out of selfishness
But I, I know what it takes
When the winds of change rush through my face
We’re so afraid of what’s to come
But our greatest fear is to look at what we’ve done
How could we go on and rearrange,
when the foundation of progress is fading away
Perspectives and views, it’s all up to you
Learn to look back to find out what to do
|

Change Face
02:04
|
|||
|
Like clouds in the sky
You’ve changed your face
Turned away from all your friends
You left for something else
Aren’t we enough for you?
Were we ever enough for you?
You don’t evolve, you just give in
You’ve always been a leaf in the wind
You say that we’ve changed for the bad
And we’re to blame for your own mistakes
You take the fucking easy way out
Wasting no thought, leaving no doubt
But you’ve turned your back
to what we were meant to be
|

The Truth
01:06
|
|||
|
I break down the walls that you’re hiding behind
Shut your big mouth, I see the fear in your eyes
You can’t fool me with your tough attitude
I know who you are, I know the truth – the truth

All You Feel
01:06
|
|||
|
I backed down in troubled times
Searched for clear sight when I was blind
Attempting to find what’s left of me
Forgot about you and how life used to be
Fragile love, gentle fear
Pain so sweet, so beautiful to keep
And I didn’t hold on
But left you in insecurity
When you needed me I wasn’t around
I was selfish and I let you down
Numbed myself but now it’s revealed
that I feel everything that you feel
No, I’ll never be that fool again
Never again

Iron Age
01:45
|
|||
|
The smoke has cleared but the ice hasn’t melted yet
Uncertainty is breathing down our necks
Are we out of reach or in the thick of things?
Still running away or facing up to it
The return of the Iron Age
Stay alert and stay awake
Losing touch, we’re falling down
Heading to the great unknown
The struggle for unlimited might
Didn’t lose its fire inside
History didn’t come to an end
It’s reinventing itself again and again
|

Above It All
00:59
|
|||
|
Chained to a feeling I can’t let go
I descend into darkness again
Light fades away, the heaviest weight
Frustration is covering me
Above it all
Above it all
And light crawls out of darkness
Setting fire to my tired mind
A moment with you, a moment of truth
Stands tall above the pain
Above it all
Above it all
Set free the light
Release the pain from inside
|

Redefine
01:29
|
|||
|
Times are changing and so am I
Can’t stop the urge to change my mind
A new beginning day by day
Redefine to defy decay
And I won’t sink into the sands of time
Redefine, change your mind
Not afraid of what you’ll find
I won’t be another deadlocked heart
Searching for shelter, stuck in the past
If we want to stand the test of time
If we want to survive we got to leave ourselves behind

Poisoned
01:42
|
|||
|
Shallow promises on flickering screens
Creep into our heads, a blood-soaked disease
Feed us lies, we’ll take every bite
Shine on the surface while we’re rotting inside
But I won’t take it no more
Bite the hand I’m suffering for
Poisoned, confused, addicted, abused
Exhausted and sick, we beg for the cure
Pills for the symptoms ignoring the cause
Line your pockets shoving waste down our throats
But I won’t take it no more
I see right through the lies you tell
In front of my eyes I can see the decay
I won’t take it no more

The Steps You Take
02:38
|

So how far would you go?
The will to change and the fear that sticks in your throat
To finish and to begin, tear apart everything that has been
And are you strong enough to close your crusted eyes
to the pain you’ve caused this time?
And every step you take is another faint escape
And you…
The salt in your eyes and the blood that you gave to admit
That you’re stuck in a place that’s never gonna fit
And are you strong enough to close your crusted eyes
to the pain you’ve caused this time?
Consider every move you make
You’re tripping in the dark, just another mistake
After all, is it worth the scars on your skin?
How far would you go for the matter within?

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases.
