The Catalyst Album Lyrics by Amaranthe

The Catalyst

Hear my call rising from the pyre
Unchain me, elation suspire
And hear my cry calling out for aid
Redeem me, from deception despair

Am I the vengeance, your rising insanity
Or the ambition of change?
Artist of rage
Are the tears from another shattered reality
Enough to make me ascend? (I venerate)

I'm dedicated for a lifetime
Let's fight to find the catalyst
Never too late to see the sun rise
We stand up for the the sanity
Come and ride with me
The catalyst

See the storm, the clouds on the horizon
Transfix me, escape I require
Just feel the force
Coursing through the air
Deliverance from the grief I implore

Am I the deathless and the incorruptible
The incarnation of faith? (Reveal myself)
Is your lost independence a consequence of vanity
The architect of your fate? (I consecrate)

I'm dedicated for a lifetime
Let's fight to find the catalyst
Never too late to see the sun rise
We stand up for the the sanity
Come and ride with me
The catalyst

Overturn the infestation, ambition reclaimed
Abdicate the aberration, the false accusations
Modificate the revelation, a martyr proclaimed
Reinvent the definition of pure dedication

Am I the deathless and the incorruptible
The incarnation of faith? (Artist of rage)
Is your lost independence a consequence of vanity
The architect of your fate? (I venerate)

I'm dedicated for a lifetime
Let's fight to find the catalyst
Never too late to see the sun rise
We stand up for the the sanity
Come and ride (the catalyst)

Insatiable

(World is insatiable)

(Conversation, feel a fixation on your wounded pride)
Accusation, coming closer to admission
I try to keep it all a secret but I cannot lie
Mass consumption, testimony to our condition

Your conscience is blind now the mob controls your mind

Spinning all around, let the mob control your mind
It's irresistible (irresistible)
And I swear we are unchangeable (unchangeable)
Hit the ground
Don't you dare to make a sound, you know just what we are
Yeah, this world is insatiable

(World is insatiable)

(Near-extinction, just an equation that you brush aside)
Decomposition, spin a little faster to attrition
Your calculations lack the fact that Armageddon's nigh
Your addiction, enemy beyond our comprehension

You revel in the sound of a world that's falling down

Spinning all around, let the mob control your mind
It's irresistible (irresistible)
And I swear we are unchangeable (unchangeable)
Hit the ground
Don't you dare to make a sound, you know just what we are
Yeah, this world is insatiable

(Exploitation) settle the deed, and feed the atrocity
(Aggravation) feed the mass oppression
(Condemnation) inherit the greed, a human pathology
(Cancellation) an abject dispossession

(Spinning all around, let the mob control your mind)
(It's irresistible)
Yeah, this world is insatiable

Spinning all around, let the mob control your mind
It's irresistible (irresistible)
And I swear we are unchangeable (unchangeable)
Hit the ground
Don't you dare to make a sound, you know just what we are
Yeah, this world is insatiable

(Insatiable)
(Insatiable)

Damnation Flame

Voices of the matriarch
A hierarchy outside of the status quo
Tormented legions feast
Upon the innocent, entrench the control

The choice of condemnation breeds an army of accursed
The dominion will grow, codified in the circle
So let it be known, she will be enthroned

Watch her ascend, concede unto her
And now you relent, for she has crossed the oceans of time
Damnation you'll find

Damnation flame
Burning us down when we're already bound
And the earth is bleeding
The mark of the one in the shape of a ghoul
In the pouring rain
See what she wrote upon the wall
I'm a true believer
Damnation flame

Ruled across the centuries
The heresy, our mark on the fevered soul
Unearthly specters rise
And a frantic danse macabre you behold

Blackened inquisition, fall to witchery
A thrall and all that you sold
Premonitions untold, was your immortal soul
Now you shall behold

Lifeblood is spent, surrender to her
Now you repent, her bloodline is damnation divine
Damnation you'll find

Damnation flame
Burning us down when we're already bound
And the earth is bleeding
The mark of the one in the shape of a ghoul
In the pouring rain
See what she wrote upon the wall
I'm a true believer
Damnation flame

Entwine the pain, you're stigmatized
Temerity from dusk to sunrise
Embrace the flame, in dusk reside
Mortality, a frailty denied

Watch her ascend, concede unto her
And now you relent
Her bloodline is damnation divine

Damnation flame
Burning us down when we're already bound
And the earth is bleeding
The mark of the one in the shape of a ghoul
In the pouring rain
See what she wrote upon the wall
I'm a true believer
Damnation flame

Liberated

I was longing for a breathable atmosphere
Never look back, pandemonium has faded
And I yearn for the supreme, yeah

It's an age of dissolution
We're corrupted and enslaved
To divert your attention from indoctrination
You hook up into the feed

So one (don't get stuck in the moment)
Two (when you're looking for new ways)
It's a last deviation, you're dehumanized
A vassal to the creed

Tonight is just the first time
In my life I fall in love
With the chemistry (with the energy)
And I'm emancipated
Now is just the right time
If you save me, take it up
Not a mystery (not a mystery)
'Cause I am liberated

I was always the unsinkable challenger
As an era went by but I was never jaded
Yeah, enough to make me scream

They enslave the population
Build technology for greed
To the sound of tick-tock
Of the Armageddon clock
You're addicted to a screen

So one (don't get stuck in the moment)
Two (when you're looking for new ways)
It's a last deviation, you're dehumanized
A vassal to the creed

Tonight is just the first time
In my life I fall in love
With the chemistry (with the energy)
And I'm emancipated
Now is just the right time
If you save me, take it up
Not a mystery (not a mystery)
'Cause I am liberated

They say experience is wisdom
Now I know that they are the same
And the truth will last forever
'Cause I'm liberated

Don't get stuck in the moment
When you're looking for new ways
And you get to the fact it's never too late

Tonight is just the first time in my life

Tonight is just the first time
In my life I fall in love
With the chemistry (with the energy)
And I'm emancipated
Now is just the right time
If you save me, take it up
Not a mystery (not a mystery)
'Cause I am liberated

Re-Vision

(Critical)
(Demolition)
(Critical)

Shedding it down, letting it out, do it
Modificate, refashion autonomy
(I'm second to none, bringing my soul into it)
Embrace the innovations sublime
I upgrade my mind and realize the truth is
Enhance and magnify
(I am sick of the scar, it is time to remove it)

A new design, the true connection
I'll activate artificial and the mortal align

Maybe there's a light at the end of the line
Or just a concept, a vision to improve it
Let the night wash away from your eyes
It's your decision
Re-vision how to do it, do it

(A new era's begun, life on the run, face it)
Accelerate and escape the dependency
Disorder is on, a power undone, embrace it
Unplug and disconnect, re-align
(While morality is blind, I can see that)
Your thirst will surge inside
The sickening flaws is the system we combat

(You see the signs, a new direction)
(Just walk away, now bring it to the end of the line)

Maybe there's a light at the end of the line
Or just a concept, a vision to improve it
Let the night wash away from your eyes
It's your decision
Re-vision how to do it, do it

You strive for affirmation
Brings you closer day by day
Sense the insubordination
Contradicting what you crave
Fraught and disillusioned
Do you love what you betray?
Just an ordinary crucifixion
Ornaments upon your grave

Maybe there's a light at the end of the line
Or just a concept, a vision to improve it
Let the night wash away from your eyes
It's your decision
Re-vision how to do it, do it

Interference

Interception, always looking for a higher ground
Would you fight 'til the end of time
Or just accept what they've done?

Disloyalty sublime
And the truth that you have betrayed
Because they occupied the very essence of morality
Desperation shine in your eyes
And integrity in hindsight
Take it as a sign and vision
That you have to take it back now

Interference got lost in a blink
But I know it's our time
To tear down what they've built
Let them go, it is never too late
For us to stop their show. no

I'm gonna ride into the future like a loaded machine
Fill my tank and tear down all the inhumanity
Now is now
If you're feeling my flow, please know you're not alone

Intersection is the point when you must recognize
Oh, you could drown in the rising tide, their regulations denied
Yeah

Indifference, your crime and the guile you obey
Now you've surrendered every little chance for you to retaliate
The indifference, your prize with benevolence in the twilight
Tyranny designed and you have to take it back now

Interference got lost in a blink
But I know it's our time
To tear down what they've built
Let them go, it is never too late
For us to stop their show, no

I'm gonna ride into the future like a loaded machine
Fill my tank and tear down all the inhumanity
Now is now
If you're feeling my flow, please know you're not alone
No

Contradictions' paradigm
All those words you say
And every demented circumstance
You will capitulate
From these fabricated sacred highs
Fallibility is your birthright
Craven in his prime
It is time to take it back now

Interference got lost in a blink
But I know it's our time
To tear down what they've built
Let them go, it is never too late
For us to stop their show (to stop the show), no

I'm gonna ride into the future like a loaded machine
Fill my tank and tear down all the inhumanity
Now is now
If you're feeling my flow, please know you're not alone
(You're not alone, whoa)

Stay a Little While

Did you know a soul could love someone completely
Just the way I do with you
(All the shadows from the past are here beside you)
(But there's nothing I would do)
If I didn't love them too
I wouldn't love all of you

Stay a little while, hold a little longer
And believe I'm here to stay
I wanted you to feel all my inspiration
As the mornings drift away
I wanted you to stay
To take away my pain

Stay a little while

I was told life and destiny can change us
By the shadows we have known
But now I know I could never be without you
And you'll never walk alone
Shape a history of me and you
Together we can see it through

Stay a little while, hold a little longer
And believe I'm here to stay
I wanted you to feel all my inspiration
As the mornings drift away
I wanted you to stay
To take away my pain

Stay a little while

Stay a little while, hold a little longer
And believe I'm here to stay
(I wanted you to feel all my inspiration)
(As the mornings drift away)
I wanted you to stay
(To take away my pain)
Ohh, to take away my pain

I wanted you to feel
All my inspiration
As the mornings drift away
I wanted you to stay
To take away my pain

Stay a little while

Ecstasy

Ecstasy
Ecstasy

Talk to me, baby, now let the curtain fall
(Encourage the collision, a submission to my call)
You've exceeded expectation now I realize that I crave it all
(A demonic composition for the ones about to fall)

Just a moment of ecstasy, now I feel the call

Ecstasy, it's my exaltation
Make no mistake, don't you break away
My ascendancy
This is my expectation
Just show me the way, it's the life we make
'Til the end of days
You bring me ecstasy

You bring me ecstasy

Come a little closer, let conversation stop
(Cede your intuition and you'll faithfully recall)
How I cherish the inception, I can sense you take me to the top
(An infernal destination, you incinerate it all)
Just a moment of ecstasy
You're raising me up

Ecstasy, it's my exaltation
Make no mistake, don't you break away
My ascendancy
This is my expectation
Just show me the way, it's the life we make
'Til the end of days
You bring me ecstasy

Ecstasy
Ecstasy

Your desperate interpretation
A mass contradiction
The perfect characterization
A victim you bind
A colossal machine
And the monstrous manifestation
Reticent diversification
A mission to bind

Just a moment of ecstasy
Now I feel the call
Ecstasy, it's my exaltation

Make no mistake, don't you break away
My ascendancy
This is my expectation just show me the way
It's the life we make
'Til the end of days

You bring me ecstasy
You bring me ecstasy
You bring me ecstasy

Breaking the Waves

I heard you say your soul had turned to grey
So open up your heart and let it wash away
The ashes and the stains, I swear, were not in vain
Let go of your chains it's not too late to rise again

Breaking the waves
Until I'm saved
Escape the remains
And build me up again
I'm breaking the waves

Not everything you touch will turn to gold
For centuries of memories will now unfold
For wisdom and astrology could never say
Just how to walk the path and make you find (your way)
Your way

Breaking the waves
Until I'm saved
Escape the remains
And build me up again
(I'm breaking the waves)

My mind's equations defined
Reveal the essence of purpose
Find the core of one's I
Unite the past and the present

I'm breaking, I'm breaking the waves
Until I'm saved
Escape the remains
And build me up again
I'm breaking the waves

Yeah, I'm breaking the waves

Outer Dimensions

Higher and higher you're taking me to outer dimensions (dimensions)

Feed me your vibrations
Your spirit over me
You're filled with the sensation
As you revive me
Intercept my darkness
Make my weakness fade away
With you I sense perfection again

Your beautiful deeds
I cannot be deceived

Higher and higher you're taking me to outer dimensions (dimensions)
Faster and faster you're bringing me the key to salvation (salvation)
I wanna fly by your side, to the outer dimensions

As the misery draws closer
You're there to save me from delusion and deception
I walk beside you
Wrap yourself around me and the tremors will abandon me
I'm feeling the sensation again

Your beautiful deeds
I cannot be deceived

Higher and higher you're taking me to outer dimensions (dimensions)
Faster and faster you're bringing me the key to salvation (salvation)
I wanna fly by your side, to the outer dimensions

You're taking me places, I just want to be where you are
One thousand reasons, dimensions can't keep us apart

Your beautiful deeds
I cannot be deceived

Higher and higher you're taking me to outer dimensions (dimensions)
Faster and faster you're bringing me the key to salvation (salvation)
I wanna fly by your side, to the outer dimensions

Resistance

Rise up, you're the resistance
We interface and then you will find
Let's go

Information highway's like a drug you can't deny
(Consent to mass-hypnosis, now you can barely hide)

Raise your voice, it's your last resort
If you're not intervening, it's another human lost
I say (stop that, fight back)
Endeavor for change
A reaction to your choice

Taking it, shaking it, breaking it
Falling to pieces
Sick of the bitterness
Sick of the wickedness
All around
Feel the rebirth unbound

(You're the resistance)

Rise up, you're the resistance
We interface and then you will find
That your frustration sparks a revolution
Ignite a better mind
Time to let go
Let go of expectations
You know it's all a beautiful lie
It's the obsession of a generation
You're the resistance

(Yeah, you crave for affirmation)
(The addiction makes you blind)
Don't fear the isolation
Let reason be your guide

Make your stand and mutiny support
A savage course of action is a necessary cost
Just say (stop that, fight back)
Society estranged
From compassion that was lost

Rise up, you're the resistance
We interface and then you will find
That your frustration sparks a revolution
Ignite a better mind
(Time to let go) let go of expectations
You know it's all a beautiful lie
It's the obsession of a generation
You're the resistance

(You're the resistance)

(Degeneration undisputable)
(Parasitic, catatonic)
(The contradiction is untenable)
(Declaration of cessation)

Taking it, shaking it, breaking it
And falling to pieces
Sick of the bitterness
Sick of the wickedness
All around
Feel the rebirth unbound

(You're the resistance)

Rise up, you're the resistance
We interface and then you will find
That your frustration sparks a revolution
Ignite a better mind (time to let go)
Let go of expectations
You know it's all a beautiful lie
It's the obsession of a generation
You're the resistance

Find Life

(The air is purified)
(I step on solemn ground)
(But it is not enough, no)
'Cause not yet satisfied
'Til I see that flash in your eyes
Reversed indifference

(And you can not deny)
(What I have sacrificed)
(An unsuspecting side of you)
A blackened paradise
Feel the corruption rise
A billion souls adrift
But life can save us

Come and you'll find
The temptation of human desire
Rise high
Come find life

I tried with all my might
Crossed to the other side
Suspended disbelief, oh
(A resurrection of)
(Of the principles of what's right)
(A jester's theory)

And so I have denied
Disrupted paradise
I taste the serpents bite in you
(The madman prophesied)
(Apocalyptic skies)
(A billion souls adrift)
But life can save us

Come and you'll find
The temptation of human desire
Rise high
Come find life

Life can save us now
Yeah, life can save us

Come and you'll find
The temptation of human desire
Rise high
Come find life

Come intertwine
Conflagration, I thrive in the fire
Rise high
Come find life
