lyrics
We can't submit our lives
Confined in frames that will fade in time
Within the hallways of our minds
I know every second bears my name
At the crossroads of a shifting fate
And change is my destiny
Painting a picture of the world
And maybe it's all an illusion
But through it all I know that I'm alive
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion
Apathy is your death
You're so content to remain enslaved
In a prison cell too safe to leave
In shackles far too comfortable to break
We can't submit our lives to indifference and fading time
This is not what it should be
Leave your impression on the world
(There's no other way, just no other way)
Cause even if it's an illusion
(May my eyes betray, but I'm alive today)
This beating heart of mine is not a lie
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion
Leaves fall so gracefully at the break of dawn
We are awake for this moment in time
How could it last forever?
Life is a frail and fleeting sigh
And though I know the shadow will fall on all of us
I still feel you here
This is what is real
A divinity in you
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion
Confined in frames that will fade in time
Within the hallways of our minds
I know every second bears my name
At the crossroads of a shifting fate
And change is my destiny
Painting a picture of the world
And maybe it's all an illusion
But through it all I know that I'm alive
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion
Apathy is your death
You're so content to remain enslaved
In a prison cell too safe to leave
In shackles far too comfortable to break
We can't submit our lives to indifference and fading time
This is not what it should be
Leave your impression on the world
(There's no other way, just no other way)
Cause even if it's an illusion
(May my eyes betray, but I'm alive today)
This beating heart of mine is not a lie
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion
Leaves fall so gracefully at the break of dawn
We are awake for this moment in time
How could it last forever?
Life is a frail and fleeting sigh
And though I know the shadow will fall on all of us
I still feel you here
This is what is real
A divinity in you
Stay with me
To see the end of the world
There is no other way
But to live and die today
Stay with me
For a night bittersweet
And be free of delusion

about
Mekanism Finland
Mekanism is a five-piece rock act whose music is built around fiery rock and metal riffs infused with pop sensibilities. The
emphasis is on clean vocals, but we do employ the occasional aggressive scream and shout for an added balls factor.
Massive metal riffs interwoven with beautiful choruses create the atmosphere that Mekanism is all about:
an icing of vulnerability on a cock rock cake.

INTO THE ABYSS
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 8 fans who also own “Live and Die Today”
This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven.

The Decipher Volumes
by Neurotechsupported by 8 fans who also own “Live and Die Today”
Pour The Decipher Volumes, Wulf compile les deux premiers opus de Decipher sortis en 2012 et en ajoute un troisième. Vrai pas en avant par rapport à Antagonist, l'objectif de cette compilation n'est pas de déchiffrer une machine ou un ordinateur : Neurotech se déchiffre lui-même, ouvrant progressivement son cyber metal à une sorte d'electronica metal et ça se remarque par les voix — celle de Wulf devenant de plus en plus humaine, chantée, et celle cristalline de Tanja Ravljen. No Turning Back.
