Caged - Estranged

I.
I can’t change the bloodstream
that’s going through my veins
A huge blockage in my head
holds my words and can’t escape
Trapped in cage, like thousand lions
trying to bite the bars.
Self-destruction in my head,
time has stopped for me.
Ref.
Darkness, when I’m looking for the light in the night
Deaf scream, when I’m shouting for the hope
Silence, is the only response I have
Blind luck, I’m waiting for it all the time
II.
Mind explosion caused by emotions
Fuzzy faces laugh at me
They reach out, want to seize my weakness,
to sink my spirit completely
Find the power and rise up proudly
Pass the wall, break on through
Hurry up! It’s a matter of time
‘til the voice in my head comes back
Ref.
Darkness, when I’m looking for the light in the night
Deaf scream, when I’m shouting for the hope
Silence, is the only response I have
Blind luck, I’m waiting for it all the time
Darkness, when I’m looking for the light in the night
Deaf scream, when I’m shouting for the hope
Silence, is the only response I have
Blind luck, I’m waiting for it all the time, come on!

Blind luck, I’m waiting for it all the time
Darkness, when I’m looking for the light in the night
Deaf scream, when I’m shouting for the hope
Silence, is the only response I have
Blind luck, I’m falling down

Gambler's Fortune

I.
Hour goes by hour,
Yesterday’s king, today on a street
High roller by the heart,
Devil whispers in my ear
Ref.
When everything goes wrong,
Something maliciously teases me
Va banque – all in, I go again,
The wheel of fortune spins
II.
When I’m on the winning spree,
I take it to the top
Try to keep it up with me,
But ya better sweeten the pot
Ref.
When everything goes wrong
Something maliciously teases me
Va banque – all in, I go again
The wheel of fortune spins
Ref.

The Juggernaut
03:47
|
|||
|
I.
Forbidden - in the eyes of gods and men the gift of endless
destruction
Unbidden - distorted morality, the tool of raging corruption
It reflects in your eyes
Ref.
Bend your neck before
The might of the juggernaut
Behold the face of death
The wrath of the juggernaut
A wolf bites deep into the neck of a lamb
Madness now feasts on a weakened mind
II.
Deceiver - hiding behind the mask, a snake crawls into the crib
Redeemer - the prophet of flames and death, created from your
own rib
The time now has come
Ref.
Bend your neck before
The might of the juggernaut
Behold the face of death
The wrath of the juggernaut
A wolf bites deep into the neck of a lamb
Madness now feasts on a weakened mind

Necessary Insanity
02:49
|
|||
|
I.
Moon is high - time for the clash,
Heads will roll tonight
Tension’s high, adrenaline rush,
Prepare for the ride
I’m breaking through the wall of sweat,
Starting metal thrashing mad
The rhythms unbind me,
The feeling’s inside me,
Start the toxic dance
Ref.
Maniacs experiencing the thrill
Madness beyond our own will
The power in fluxion, necessary destruction
Insanity’s in the air
II.
Racing heart, the sonic attack,
Let us now feel the fire
Friend or foe - we’re bonded by blood,
Chime the witching hour
Ramming through the mean streets,
Infused with endless power
Speed revolution takes us higher,
And this is our desire
Ref.
Hit the stage, the darkness descends
Nothing’s left beneath the remains
Engines are revving, it’s all necessary
Insanity’s in the air
(solo - U. Terror)

Destined for the Gutter
07:20
|
|||
|
I.
Life often plays with me,
does not compare with what I want
The heart speaks sensibly,
and hands do something else
Crossed the line of morality,
Entering gray reality,
Now it's too late to reflect upon the past,
stuck in this shit up to your ears
Ref.
Weakness hurts,
Destroying me,
Dwells inside my brain,
Eats like disease,
Fire of hate burns me down,
Just wait for the bullet to the head
Bullet to the head
II.
Weakness turns into restlessness,
Finger wraps around the trigger,
Everything seems so trivial,
The road of no return
Needle’s ready - make me free,
Brown sugar burns in bloody stream,
Euphoria makes me happy now,
Senses dulled, swallowed by quicksand
Ref.
Weakness hurts,
Destroying me,
Dwells inside my brain,
Eats like disease,
Fire of hate burns me down,
Just wait for the bullet to the head
Bullet to the head
(solo - M. Konieczny)
III.
I just want it to stop,
in the mirror shines an empty face
Blurry shadows laugh at me,
evil whispers in my ears
Claws caress my shoulders,
something’s pulling me into abyss,
Excruciating fear is killing me,
life escapes my veins
Clock counts out my time,
I can feel the end of existence
I can hear every sound,
rosary pressed against my lips
I would like to turn back time,
revert my course of life,
Destined here, I meet my fate,
in the gutter, among the rats
(solo - W. Łobarzewski)

Exorcism of the Exorcist
03:50
|
|||
|
I.
Ringing the door, he’s welcomed by the host
Insanity fills the air, situation’s out of control
Basement as a prison with iron shackles for lost boy
Dark as the victim’s nightmare, which is his fault?
Ref.
Demon - reaching out to the sky
Preacher - he knows the reason why
The circle of hell opens up
The priest has to be exorcised
II.
Father enchains his son very tight and strong
Family tears and mourning cries resound for long
Exorcist, impassive, is standing still
Preparing, praying for his god’s favor and will
Ref.
Demon - reaching out to the sky
Preacher - he knows the reason why
The circle of hell opens up
The priest has to be exorcised
III.
Priest - why did you come to my home?
Your holy ascendancy does not work
Priest - I have broken your will
Now your carrion belongs to me
Priest - you have lost your control
Now I’ve taken possession of your holy soul
Priest - you thought you’ve come so far
Let go of your body and prepare to die
(solo – M. Konieczny)
IV.
Evil spells leave the youngest breaking his spine
Demon finds new object for extinction line
Exorcist faith no longer lasts
His mind and body belongs to the devil’s wrath
Crucifix inverts, sulphur clouds around
Three sixes on his back - mortal way is done
Chaos encroached the house, the roles have changed
Father with his blessings exorcises clergyman
(solo – W. Łobarzewski)

Ignorance is Bliss

I + II
Flash of light,
tearing down the peace of the
night – so loud,
came roaring treads, marching wall of
guns – point blank,
disperse now, resist or die
Side by side,
the ground was soaked with
Blood of the innocents, unwavering ones,
rejecting the iron hand, tyranny’s claws,
standing as one in the face of the threat,
served by none other but sovereign’s hands
Ref.
The voices unheard
Silenced by men of state
Signed off the nation’s death certificate
Never to learn,
what happened out there
Calls of despair,
from the Tiananmen Square
(solo - M. Konieczny)
III.
Years – have passed leaving scars of unacknowledged
past – the truth, demands to be spoken
at last – suppressed by the weavers of deceitful
lies – blessed are the ignorant
Ref.
Never to learn,
what happened out there
Calls of despair,
from the Tiananmen Square
(solo – M. Konieczny)

Fog of Birkenau
04:30

|||
|
I.
Cattle wagon filled to full
There’s no fucking place to put even a foot
Suffocation - there’s no way to breathe
We’re drowning in our own sweat
Droppings are everywhere
We’re tripping on this scum
We just want to leave
We just want to escape
Only one leads through the chimney
It’s hell!
Ref.
Fog of Birkenau - suffering
Fog of Birkenau
Fog Birkenau - we’re boiling
Say hello to death
Fog of Birkenau - suffering
Fog of Birkenau
Fog Birkenau - we’re boiling
Say hello to death
II.
The musty stench is spreading
Death in the air, it’s getting closer
The dust of burned corpses is falling down
Final destination is close now
The real nightmare will only start
So prepare yourself cause you will die
Ref.
Fog of Birkenau - suffering
Fog of Birkenau
Fog Birkenau - we’re boiling
Say hello to death
Fog of Birkenau - suffering
Fog of Birkenau
Fog Birkenau - we’re boiling
Say hello to death
III.
Suffering is waiting for you
Long way to destruction
Can you hear the barking of dogs?
Perpetrators will break our souls
You’re nothing, and nobody
Still breathing? A matter of time
Thumb up, or thumb down
Say hello to death
IV.
We’re meant to obey like dogs
Treated like animals
Pay the high price for nothing
What led us to this day?
The factory of death calls us
We have come to terms with it
We are different so let’s die for it
Together
(solo - M. Konieczny)

Pandemic Kraków, Poland

inspirations from the 80s greats of the genre, the quartet aims to add its own twist in music.

... more
If you like Pandemic, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Crooked Mirror”
It is a promising debut release with Coroner-esque technicality. This album is evocative of good old thrash metallers in the 80's like Testament, Coroner and the early days of Megadeth. Especially the guitar works are fantastic, showing jazzy, proggy and speedy feelings brilliantly fused in this album.
