Beware of your demise Prepare yourself now that you arrived If only you would know what hardships await A life of suffering, distress and hate Don't expect too much For all your dreams will be crushed Gradually bereaved From cradle to the grave This place diffuses iniquity Your role is already set The actions you take are in vain Drifting further towards the end Pain from thousands of small wounds Most of them will never heal Searching for a way to comfort Just to find out only sorrow is real Struggling to maintain the illusion Fooling yourself into belief Does it matter whoever you are? In the end your efforts will fail Dispossessed you'll stand all alone Forgotten will be your name Enter the misery You'll never break free solo: Peter Shattered by the sense that you're no one What you built was all based on lies Too late to retrace or to regret You have to pay the price This is the path we all walk through Spiraling down into our doom solo: Peter/Ferenc This place diffuses iniquity Your role is already set The actions you take are in vain Drifting further towards the bitter end The end

Hallucination or is this for real? A darkened sense began a journey far beyond belief Another aspect of existence Unfolds before me Paralyzed but free So unobscured, in the distance I behold my own body Disarrayed consciousness Leaving the cage of mortal flesh The threshold is passed There's no turning back Lost all contact with the outside world They cannot hear my words I feel no weight Time is frozen, physics fail to operate No wisdom on earth can ever explain The helplessness, the desperation Blurred are my eyes, numb perception Light fades forever I depart, never to return solo: Peter

Awakened from the dream, I'm still confused Searching for reasons to hope I will pull through Perplexity culminates within this mind How long will it take? Is there a way out? Doubts… Questions… Fears… ...All unexplained Why do I long death being so young? Screaming with my arms raised to the sky Why do I feel so overpressured In this world of subjection? Fully disillusioned I take life into my own hands Swallowing these pills I forget Why do I long death being so young? Screaming with my arms raised to the sky Why do I feel so overpressured In this world of subjection? Overpressured in this world of subjection

Poisonous 04:51
solo: Peter Look around and see how ravaged this land has became, Full of hate and anger, people in necessity Living in hopelessness, never to have a chance For a better life, tormented ‘till it all ends Distressing signs, questions everywhere Uncertain conditions, the tension's in the air This deadlock we have secured, it's destined to explode Observing this in a large scale it's predictable solo: Ferenc A nation demoralized, on the brink of depression With failing power to withstand, we succumb to this pressure solo: Peter Advices are all false, serving a purpose None contains the truth, creating confusion Leave everything behind and start all again Seems like the only way to kick us in (Time to escape) solo: Peter No point in denying, there is no future here The atmosphere is poisonous The bridges are burning, nothing to do or say Falling behind is poisonous solo: Ferenc Look around and see how ravaged this land has became, Full of hate and anger, people in necessity Living in hopelessness, never to have a chance For a better life, tormented ‘till it all ends

Seems like the harms I've endured have left profound marks on me I feel after all I've seen, my character's changed I've always preferred straightforwardness, but now I'm not so sure Honor and trust has no meaning anymore "Always do unto others As you'd have them do to you" In appearance it seems so nice Too bad it's never true As everything falls to pieces all around There is no remorse left inside Now it's time for me to be the one who takes others for fools For all those long years I have been ripped off "Always do unto others As you'd have them do to you" In appearance it seems so nice Too bad it's never true As everything falls to pieces all around There is no remorse left inside solo: Peter Bitterness and cynicism have finally taken total control The urge to give back is now stronger than ever before The times of my innocence I can no longer remember Morals and conscience lost their values for me forever solo: Ferenc Seems like the harms I've endured have left profound marks on me I feel after all I've seen, my character's changed I have always preferred straightforwardness, but I'm not so sure Honor and trust has no meaning anymore

With brutal impact comes the strike of fear To shatter reason, to defeat our will It dominates us, it keeps us on hold There seems no escape, no chance to save our souls Existence can't be fulfilled playing this game Trapped by self-confliction, disorder we create Values annulled by this dread All we ever reached is broken, ripped to shreds A horrid nightmare, future and life decayed With doubtfulness, vague dysfunctionality Existence can't be fulfilled playing this game Trapped by self-confliction, disorder we create Human relations thoroughly being strained Constant phobia leaves all people estranged Dread within crumbles everyone’s beliefs In this cancer-stricken society Our past slowly fades into oblivion Meaning of persistent struggles are long gone Should I resist or give in to the urge to flee? Sweep away confinement and be ultimately free Existence can't be fulfilled playing this game Trapped by self-confliction, disorder we create

Revelation 03:02
Shocked as my time's running out, I'm drifting close to death Thinking about my life, I wonder where did I lose track? Dismayed as I survey my life's decomposition With fear I face the mirror, scared of the reflection staring back Can't bear the thought of reaching the end of my days To make no difference, and leave without a trace Life goes on as I fall into decay How fast everything passed by, I never came aware So much more things to work out, it cannot just end this way Never felt satisfied, the hunger is still inside me My goals are yet to fulfill, I can't die before I truly lived solo: Peter What would I give if I could get back those wasted years Redress, as I refuse to resign all my hopes and dreams I still cannot believe that's all that has been given Broken and dispossessed of hope, I'm waiting for the end complete Can't bear the thought of reaching the end of my days To make no difference, and leave without a trace Life goes on as I fall into decay Life goes on as I fall into decay

It is here, I can feel the presence of the reaper yet I have no fear Face to face I meet my doom; I know it will be over soon I’m strong, but I don’t want to fight, it has to end now It’s time to walk into the tranquil light Seven years of agony Seven years haunted me Don’t be late. I am not afraid of you anymore Looking back, I saw what you have done to me Your eyes were empty and meaningless. Today I can be with them Perhaps the consummation takes a different form. solo: Peter Finally, I can rest at last (At last, at last!) Waited for this day for so long Yesterday has passed and today is bleak I’m fading away like water on ink You hold my hand, which I have to let go Believe me, I wish it wouldn't be so The hourglass won't stop (It won’t stop, it won’t stop!) Leave my side please; I need you to go There is something I have to pass through... solo: Ferenc Today is mine, let me say goodbye before I close my eyes The last time; I know I won’t see the sunrise solo: Peter Finally, I can rest at last Waited for this day for so long Ash to ash and dust to dust I have come full circle My time has passed This is my final rest solo: Peter

about

The father of Effrontery guitarist-composer Péter Lipák deceased after a long struggle. Our new album guides through that painful process with cruel honesty. The „Seven years of agony” commemorates all our departed relatives, as our vocalist too experienced an irreparable loss during times of songwriting. We hope that this album will help other people to get over their personal tragedies too.
