The Seamless web of the universe , Gathered around your feet. You are one with creation, But have been bred for separation. Remove the veil, And see the truth. We are the future. We are the future. We are the youth. Remove the lies! Remove the veil, And see the truth. We are the future. REMOVE THE VEIL! We are light. We are dark. We are all star dust. We’re the start! Look what they’ve done. Look what they’ve done. Their shameless flock shows no appreciation to the sun! Look what they’ve done. Look what they’ve done. The opportunity of life has been shunned. Look what they’ve done. Look what they’ve done. Their shameless flock shows no appreciation to the sun! We are light, We are dark. We are all star dust. We are all one with the universe and life. We are the voices of the voiceless, And we’re here to show you a new way to begin- To open your eyes! This is my life. I must live it. I won’t let them even attempt to break me down! I want to live- Don’t wait to die! There’s so much joy left in life still to find. This is my life. I must live it. I won’t let them even attempt to break me ! I want to live- Don’t wait to die! There’s so much joy let in life still to find. We are the future. WE ARE THE YOUTH! YOUTH!

I look up to the star filled sky in hope That someone, somewhere will answer These questions – There’s just so many decisions. Why does this seem like such a blur? I gave you faith ,and I gave you hope. (I gave you hope) I gave you faith, and I gave you hope, But you took all of this and tied your own rope. It must be sad knowing well, that you dedicated your life. Your life is dedicated to destroy. It must be sad knowing well, that you dedicated your life. A life; A book – But we managed to escape from its, Its hook. A life; A book – But we managed to escape from its, Its hook. A life; A book – But we managed to escape! Where are you now? Where is our purpose to bow? Shut these eyes, and shut these lips. Let down yours guards, And abandon your ships. We’re going down, With no reason why, So hold your hands, And pray to the sky! A life and a book – But we escaped from its hook. A life and a book – But we escaped from its hook. I gave you faith, and I gave you hope, But you took all of this and tied your own rope. It must be sad knowing well, that you dedicated your life. Your life is dedicated to destroy. It must be sad knowing well, that you dedicated your life. YOUR LIFE!

Many Minds 01:31
I might sound two-tongued at times, But these are words spoken from many minds. Minds that are bind, Minds confined. (From many minds) (From many minds)

Take those, Take those words back! Whether dark or light, Day or night – Get out – Get out of my sight! Each day I strive to become something you’re not. To see the day that your tongue is tied in a knot. Something you’re not. To see the day that your tongue is tied in a , In a knot. KNOT! Some of these emotions, They fill me up. They seem like roots digging into my flesh. That just won’t, won’t seem to go. But hush those lips, No one needs to know, That they swell up and blow me over, Just like empowered tempest storms. I am a work in progress, I won’t let them bring me down to such a mess. You are a work in progress. Don’t let them bring you down to such a mess. Some of these emotions, They fill me up. They seem like roots digging into my flesh. That just won’t, won’t seem to go. But hush those lips, No one needs to know, That they swell up and blow me over, Just like empowered tempest storms. I am a work in progress, I won’t let them bring me to such a mess. Follow the flock, Follow the sheep. Let yourself go – Watch them put you to sleep. It’s a poison of the mind. It’s a poison of the mind. They are the evil we’ll never find. Some of these emotions, They fill me up. They seem like roots digging into , Into my flesh. That just won’t seem to go. But hush those lips, No one needs to know, That they swell and blow me over Just like empowered tempest storms. Look at them, Turn them to stone. Strip away, Strip away down to the bone. Look at them, Turn them to stone. Look at them, Strip away, Down to the bone. In the end of it all, You are the master of your own will.. (You are the master!) Take hold of the helm – Steer your ship to paradise. (Open your eyes) Be the captain of your life! Steer your ship to paradise, and free yourself from strife.

What do my eyes see?! Is this illusion based on me? This is not where I belong. What do my eyes see?! Is this illusion based on me? This is not where I belong. What do my eyes see?! Is this illusion based on me? Trapped in all of the lies, the hatred and disgust - Fragments of your broken trust. Don't mourn, Don't mourn for the ones that've died - smile for the blossom they held. (Smile) Every ending is a new beginning. (Don't mourn) Every beginning is an ending. (Smile) But in the end none of this matters. From my rotting body, flowers shall grow, And in their roots blood shall flow. Watch as the dead leave their graves. Watch as the dead leave their graves - Such a beautiful scene to amaze. And in the air my soul will blow. Where to now will we ever know? A place so pure. A place so peaceful - free from hatred and from evil. The weight of the world's removed from your chest; Now my soul has a place to rest. In time you'll find you're never going to grow, if you don't change the way you think about it all. A life without meaning haunts us all. Time has its eye on me, But it's too late to see me change and believe. With eyes open, we see disgrace. But when they're shut, We are in a better place. What do my eyes see?! Is this illusion just based on me? Craving to break away. This is not where I belong; Trapped in the lies. Glass ripping through my flesh are fragments of your broken trust. Where to now will we ever go? Where to now will we ever know? A place so pure, Free from hatred and from evil. The weight of the world is removed from your chest - Now I know my soul has a place to rest. My soul has a place to rest.

about

A Germiston/Alberton based, 5 piece metal band. Our story isn’t really to long, but a story of an amazing journey instead. The band started out in high school with just Anton on guitar and Wesley Smuts on the second guitar. They had been friends and decided one day to get together and start jamming. The usual case of how bands normally start. They brought in our loving and full of energy bassist Heinrich not to long after that. From that point they just played around writing some songs but eventually they brought in our first vocalist Jean. Some time later our drummer received a phone call from one of his friends asking if he would like to drum for a band. A few weekends had passed and we had our first band practice. Our first guitarist Wesley Smuts had left the band to further pursue his career as a musician. Along came, guitarist Ruan aka “Sales”. We went a while without a vocalist and eventually stumbled upon our once extremely shy Tyrone Cass.

From this point on was just a constant upward spiral for the band, we started getting attention from people that were really interested to see our finished product of ear splitting, heavy music played with as much heart as we could give. We started writing music for the people hoping that our music will somehow change their lives in a very big way. After a few months of constant practice and writing of new material to fill up a full set for live shows we finally had our chance to show the metal scene what we had!

Our first show was at Sundowners, Alberton, 7th of May 2011.
Since then we have been growing our band to the point we are today, we have toured to Welkom for kingfest and Durban.

We are Apart From Your Cliché, here for the music, here for the fans and here to change the industry one step at a time with our friends we have met along the way.

Anton Lombard - Guitar
