Thorns 03:24
Thorns An uncertain future Blurred is the sense of time I sink into the night Present intertwines with the past Daydream or nightmare I don’t even know who I am No pills can kill the feelings of guilt that sting me all the time Discarded by sea on the shore I feel trapped, naked in a world made of thorns My body feels bruised, I can’t find the strength to struggle The slightest movement just inflicts me more suffering I can barely breathe, the noose is tightening Choking my soul, brambles and thorns (slowly) drag me to the grave Fake smiles on my face for the sake of keeping (up) appearances Wet eyes wide open, always staring at the void Can't hear the sound of my voice, speechless even when I scream I feel trapped, naked in a world made of thorns I’m trapped in a world made of...

I kept my promise and you ? I thought you were saved from these troubled waters But it wasn’t that simple Smiling even when the heart is in the mouth Knotted stomach (and) throat turned upside down Go on and move on under the storm The truth is for the moon And we scream silently to the stars With all our strength All our weaknesses Through hope and dreams Howling at the night I left without a word You left full of evils Mouth open to a silent scream An ephemeral story, just like you In the end, promises are just words Go on and move on under the storm Go on and move on for the moon And we scream silently to the stars With all our strength All our weaknesses Through hope and dreams Howling at the night Silently to the stars

In Nomine 04:23
In nomine lucrum, morimini ! The love of one's neighbor has never ruled the world Royalty is Envy and Profit In their name, we can trample all and everyone Live Pray Buy And die ! In nomine lucrum, morimini ! I condemn the leaders who place our world under profits For whom only money talks For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill.... In the name of oil, weapons, and Holy money, Die ! For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill.... And it all starts over again and again again Your god is fake ! Pray, buy and die ! Money is His name, illusion is His strength, everything is fake Life, consumption, death, the triumvirate of our societies Vive ! Ora ! Emere ! Et morere ! Morere ! In nomine lucrum, morimini ! For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill.... And it all starts over again and again again

Rise ! Rise ! We have insurrection in our veins and you ? Rise ! Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past Fight ! Fight ! Fight for honor Shedding blood for the dissent Blood of the underdogs dissolved by ink (as) History tends to be written by the victors but Can't you feel the rage hidden between the lines of their books trapped in the depth of forbidden tales Our story's been silenced for too long (It's) time to make some noise (It's) never too late to make our voice heard Clench your fist in the air and scream so fucking loud Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past Fight ! Fight ! Fight for honor Stand up and scream Blood boils in our veins, willpower in our brains We melt the steel from our chains to shape our weapons and souls Forgotten voices from the past are being gathered to set the record straight May the truth be the flag of our insurrection Rats crawl and false gods laugh Stand up and shout so fucking loud Clench your fist in the air and scream so fucking loud Rise ! Rise ! Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past Fight ! Fight ! To bring back honor Shedding blood for the dissent

Chaos 03:33
No matter the ordeals No matter the tempests I will stand, waiting for the next wave No matter the tragedies Nothing will stop me I do not fear the chaos, I’ve learned to live with it and make it one of my strengths. Nothing will stand in my way Nothing will block me You can try but you will lose I will ask the darkness I will tame the chaos I will control my life I will follow my path I will always be standing When you will be down In pleasure In despair In failure I’m still here Alive and proud No matter your fears or nightmares I will ask the darkness I will tame the chaos I will control my life I will follow my path I will ask the darkness to guide me I will tame the chaos whatever it is I will control my life at all costs I will follow my path to the end You can’t destroy me, not even break me I will start over again and again I will tame the chaos I will ask the darkness I will tame the chaos I will control my life I will follow my path I will ask the darkness I will tame the chaos I will control my life I will follow my path

Quake in fear Ain't no escape, there is nowhere you can hide No more remissions Violence is on the rise on both sides What choice do we have between hate and anger? All this sticks the knife in our rage Awaken our needs for freedom Divide and rule has been your creed Your peace is over Our war is on its way So can't you hear the anger from the street ? swelling, running, feeding on our rage Stillborn dreams buried in despair The world sinks into the conflict of the giants Who look at us from their ivory towers And don’t give a shit about us Divide and rule has been your creed Your peace is over Our war is on its way So can't you hear the anger from the street ? swelling, running, feeding on our rage Stillborn dreams buried in despair In our despair Whatever the cost Whatever the loss We'll never give up We will never surrender Whatever the cost Whatever the loss We'll never give up We will never surrender Can’t you hear the scream from the street ? Not forgetting, Not forgiving, No concession, It’s our warpath So can't you hear the rage from the street ? So can't you hear the anger from the street ? swelling, running, feeding on our rage Stillborn dreams buried in despair In our despair Your peace is over Our war is on its way Can’t you hear the anger from the street ?

Void 05:24
There is something inside my being My parasitic symbiosis My fall or my rebirth Something to live for Something to die for Pain it’s all I’ve got It’s all I’ve got Will I win today ? This devouring void and that little beast which drags me down to my limits Makes grow for the battles Will I win today ? Something to breed Something to grieve for Something to fear Something to grow up for That thing that seeks to complete my broken soul That thing that seeks to consume my empty head Pain it’s all I’ve got It’s all I’ve got Get the fuck out ! This devouring void and that little beast which drags me down to my limits Makes grow for the battles Will I win today ?

Except One Paris, France

Except One is the brainchild of four French musicians, who wanted to express themselves freely while creating their own musical universe. Together, they're mixing influences that span from the ripping brutality of Suicide Silence to groove monsters DevilDriver and the more melodic approach of Arch Enemy. ... more
