Iciness
08:09

Trapped in this world of glass
Relapsing into fear
Our words shatter as we try to speak
The air is ice
Our hearts made of steel
Blinding blue was the light
Barely visible now that we float through time
Frozen wounds no longer hurt
Is this the new fire?
Break this iciness
Resist weightlessness
Reignite the spark and life within you
I am nothing but an empty shell
It’s so cold, yet I must prevail
Isolation is my private hell
My kingdom, my realm
We are the ones who’ll destroy this world
Kings and queens of this barren soil
Our temptations will illuminate
Like blood in the snow
Breathing out our souls into a misty cloud
Piece by piece, we lose identities
Chased by shadows
Of what could have been
Break this hopelessness
Resist emptiness
Reignite the spark and hope within you
I am nothing but an empty shell
It’s so cold, yet I must prevail
Isolation is my private hell
My kingdom, my realm
We are the ones who’ll destroy this world
Kings and queens of this barren soil
Our temptations will illuminate
Like blood in the snow
In the world of glass, relapse into fear
In the world of ice, our hearts made of steel
Our frozen wounds no longer hurt
Blinding blue was the sky
Is this light our new fire?

Over the times when you felt all alone
The days you thought you did everything wrong
In their universe, they are masters of your destiny
Manipulating a truth that belongs to you
Break down their reality
Erase negativity
Get out of this misery
Burn down their authority
Embrace your duality
Break out of this slavery
Initiating reprogramming
Please sit and relax
The process might hurt a bit
But the result is worth the pain
Starting now
Deconstructing the mind of the blind
Installing the very essence of our kind
Removing unnecessary boundaries
Reconstructing the will internally
Reprogramming the emotional system
Deleting the inherent cerebral mayhem
Self-esteem augmented, high priority
Rejection of the bullshit? Certainly!
All gone, this chessboard where they locked you down
You had to play the fool to seize the crown
In your world, you can now alter your reality
Taking back everything that belonged to you
Break down their hypocrisy
Erase this insanity
Get out of this reverie
Burn down all inequity
Embrace your divinity
Break out of infinity
Initiating reprogramming
Please sit and relax
The process might hurt a bit
But the result is worth the pain
Starting now
Deconstructing the mind of the blind
Installing the very essence of our kind
Removing unnecessary boundaries
Reconstructing the will internally
Booting the emotional system
Deleting the inherent cerebral mayhem
Self-esteem augmented, high priority
Rejection of the bullshit? Certainly!
Enhancing process still running
Please stay still
Launching step two of the upgrade
In three, two, one - ignition
We can give you all the arms to beat their pawns
But eventually, you need to become your own weapon
If you really want the system to initialize
And finally execute the virus of their lies
Initiating reprogramming
Please sit and relax
The process might hurt a bit
But the result is worth the pain
…is it?

Crusade for the Sun
05:51

Imprisoned by your restless mind
Feeling stuck in these four walls
Like a stalker with no prey, you sit and watch
Through the windows of your soul
Inspiration is a blessing earned
Through the labors of your goals
Validation is a treat, perseverance is a creed
That will beat the drum for your hopes
Stars are waiting for you
Everyday
And any day
Get ready for
A crusade for the sun
Impossible
Is possible
The time has come
A crusade for the sun
You can’t deny that the sky calls your name
Now is the time to unwind from this shade
You’re a slave to someone else’s gains
As you put your life on hold
You always wished you were one of them
Or at least that’s what you’re told
This is your final chance
This morbid countdown never stops
So dig up your confidence
Ditch the system, keep marching on
Stars are waiting for you
Everyday
And any day
Get ready for
A crusade for the sun
Impossible
Is possible
The time has come
A crusade for the sun
One, two, three, four
This life’s not worth waiting for
Five, six, seven, eight
The engine’s on, your dreams can’t wait
Everyday
And any day
Get ready for
A crusade for the sun
Travel where
Your heart belongs
You can’t go wrong
A crusade for the sun

Like a ghost without reflection
You’re faceless in the crowd
You hunt for imperfections
To please your digital god
Lead the riot
Crush the enemy
Rise to power
Obey
We’re descendants of terrestrial beings
Evolved to hate, bound to discriminate
As we march through the dark
Hand in hand, we survive
As we march towards the light
All for one, we will fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Take your chance
Draw a spear into my heart
Get away, get away
Don’t delay
You can’t reach me
I’m invisible
Go ahead, go ahead
Take your chance
Push a knife into my back
Get away, get away
We're both the same
Words can’t hurt me
I’m invincible
We’re descendants of sentient beings
Empathic nomads, mighty critics of the soul
Lead the riot
Crush the enemy
Rise to power
Let’s go
As we march through the dark
Hand in hand, we survive
As we march towards the light
We must stop this ill fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Take your chance
Draw a spear into my heart
Get away, get away
Don’t delay
You can’t reach me
I’m invisible
Go ahead, go ahead
Take your chance
Push a knife into my back
Get away, get away
We're both the same
Words can’t hurt me
I’m invincible
Obey

Chasing a Reflection
05:27

Do you remember this summer night
You were gazing at the sky
Hoping to be one with the stars
Intoxicated with your desire
You could do anything
And you felt invincible
Promises and whispers were given to the darkness
Nothing to draw you away from your purpose
But the worst betrayal comes from within
You made your own blood run cold
You ran into a stone wall
Enchained to your own mistakes
You caved in for years
Pack your dreams and run again
Take another trip down the fantasy lane
Rain or wind, win your race
Let it be your final chase
Or go ask the sun for a rerun
Rain or wind, win your race
Let it be your final chase
The chase
Relive the rush, relieve the pain
You used to see colours in the rain
Brighter light and greener grass
Until you turned the hourglass
You could do anything
And you felt invincible
Promises and whispers were given to the darkness
Nothing to draw you away from your purpose
But the worst betrayal comes from within
You made your own blood run cold
You ran into a stone wall
Enchained to your own mistakes
You caved in for years
Pack your dreams and run again
Take another trip down the fantasy lane
Rain or wind, win your race
Let it be your final chase
Or go ask the sun for a rerun
Rain or wind, win your race
Let it be your final chase
There’s beauty hidden beyond the horizon
Rain or wind, win your race
Let it be your final chase
Rain or wind, win your race
Or go ask the sun for a rerun
Open your eyes, see the lies
Still no prize after all these tries
Thinking that you were reaching new heights
You’ve been stuck in an endless loop all this time
Open your eyes, see the lies
Still no prize after all these tries
Thinking that you were reaching new heights
You've been running in circles all your life
There’s no finishing line
Infinite horizon, celestial fiction
An ethereal destination
Keep chasing a reflection
The chase

Exploder

Explode
An emotional system overload
Temporarily shutting down
Erupt with pain
Disrupt the hate
Explode to be reborn
Explode to be strong

Red sand in an hourglass
An empty mind
Pale light into his past
Two souls entwined
He had sunk a long time ago
No way of going back up
She had no choice but to follow
And witness his lockup
Lost in an endless drop
Buried in time
Shattered in his own trap
Nowhere to climb
He had sunk a long time ago
No way of going back up
But you can’t ever really drown
When your world is being turned upside down
Life has started flowing again
Dust to fire, ashes to flames
Rising phoenix or flash in the pan?
A new sand running through his veins
Anyway
She turned the tide, inverted the time
And tore down his own walls
This glass ceiling shall not resist
If they smash it and break free
Together
But time always betrays
Every dream
The earth washing away
From beneath him
Welcome to the abyss
We have missed you deeply
Welcome to the abyss
See you on the other side
Welcome to the abyss
We have missed you deeply
Welcome to the abyss
See you again next time
He had sunk a long time ago
No way of going back up
But you can’t ever really drown
When your world is being turned upside down
Life has started flowing again
Dust to fire, ashes to flames
Rising phoenix or flash in the pan?
A new sand running through his veins
Anyway
She turned the tide, inverted the time
And tore down his own walls
This glass ceiling shall not resist
If they smash it and break free
Together
End the cycle and break free
Only together in this duality
Will they be able to break the infinity
Breaking infinity

Aspiration
04:37

Days entangled in a web of constant promises
You struggle to keep up, frustrations rise to the top
They tell you you’re dispensable, a slave in their machine
Yet you try, you fail, endless carousel of dreams
Your soaring needs trigger their fragility
But a second-hand life is not what’s meant to be
Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You’re indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above
Time devours all your pride, and all that’s left behind
We’re all but cosmic dust, swallowed by the sun
Their unrelenting creed feeds your humility
Still, you must try, must fail, until you’re closer to your dreams
They’ve trimmed your wings so you don’t escape their plan
It's time to lose this guilt, so resist and revive
Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You’re indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above
Now is the time to lose this guilt
Resist, revive
You must carry on
Shadows of doubts
Will cripple your trials
Slurs and contempt
Will not strike you down
In darkness and light
You must carry on
Reclaiming your destiny
No masters, no gods
Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You’re indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above
Aspire to thrive
And shed this pain that weighs you down
Become invincible, impossible
Beyond the glass is where your heart belongs

Beyond
04:42
|

|
Your eyes, once so bright, never sparkle with delight anymore
Ashes of old hopes that you scattered that night on the shore
Still linger in the air, but the dreams you once shared
Drifted away in the ocean of regret
Did you run too fast, did you fall on your way
You’re a fighter, even without her
The sun will shine ahead
So collect your strength and sing louder
Did you run too fast, did you lose your aim
You’re a fighter, even without her
The sun still shines ahead
I promise your days will get brighter
My friend
Beyond the horizon, the skies look much darker
But the true darkness sleeps within you
It's time for redemption, but it must start in your soul
No one else will save you, twilight's yet to come
Did you run too fast, did you fall on your way
You’re a fighter, even without her
The sun still shines ahead
So collect your strength and sing louder
Did you run too fast, did you lose your aim
You’re a fighter, even without her
The sun still shines ahead
I promise your days will get brighter
My friend
Redemption starts in your soul
No one else will save you

Rage Of Light Switzerland
Metal combines with trance. Melody binds to violence. Sharp riffs intertwined with forceful arpeggios. Screams interspersed by an enchanting voice. A contrast made of light and rage.
If you like Rage Of Light, you may also like:

Melissa Bonny is the best symphonic female vocalist not named Floor Jansen. Sadly, Ad Infinitum chooses to throw in incomprehensible death metal growling - which I flatly can't stand. The band seems to have lost a bit of identity and direction.
