Inspired by the intro songs of "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei", this one steps into the realm of punk and hardcore. A wildness you wouldn´t expect of ForTiorI with an amazing vocal performance.

lyrics

this concrete floor is weighing on our heads
we're gonna be stuck like this until we're dead
it's our choice
it's our time to correct the arbitrary balance of
constructed norm

knock knock
that's the hand of doom upon our door
we can't simply be complacent with it anymore
we are left
we are left to the trivial devices that we never got
to make ourselves

don't speak
don't even blink your eyes
the freedom we believed we always had was all a lie
cliche I know
but look again and see the ruse we used to call our
only hope

open up the escape passage through oblivion

we all live in a society of broken trust
the enemies of our existence seek to supplant us
we are at war
we are at war with a system and a substance that's
invisible but oh so clear

this time we are running out of their tenacious sight

crawl through the tunnel and penetrate
beyond the threshold

Finding an exit we puncture the veil of time
Revealing a new point of view
Seeing our lives stretched before us as infiniums
Of avenues we have yet to take

A cosmic eviction (repeated)
exiled by our dissident convictions
A cosmic eviction
exiled by our dissident convictions
Never before had we known we possessed such strength

Navigating the ethereal complex of the realm
We see a glimpse of a future hanging like a bell
The waves of it's ringing spread across the stars,
tearing them apart

We live in peace
In peace we die...

Finding an entrance we pull ourselves through to see
The pinnacle of the world we knew
And placed upon the seat with the skyline view.
No one. Nothing. We have been deceived.

It has become our comission
To remove this institution
burn it to the ground forever
Adventure is what we're made for

In this instant
We can breathe the
Air of freedom
Long forgotten

In this instant
We can breathe the
Air of freedom
Long forgotten
Open up our lungs
receive it
turn our backs and live

Can you hear a strange ringing in your ears?

Cool compositions and great production – Who Bit the Moon is full of prog-rock moments that uplift and quickly capture attention. Neat changes in tempo add interest, and plentiful guitar hooks deliver moments to savour. Michael Reilly
