It only comes at night
Staring demons creep inside
It’s the making of the universe
No one can break the mould
We’re all sinners when we fall
It’s the making of the universe, my universe
It’s too late
I’m out of time
End life
Faces look down
Black eye
Burns a hole in my mind
Stubborn we carry on
Push the heavy stone around
It’s the making of the universe
Confusion growing high
Only chaos beyond light
It’s the making of the universe, my universe
It’s too late
I’m out of time
End life
Faces look down
Black eye
Burns a hole in my mind
It’s too late
I’m out of time
End life
Faces look down
Black eye
Burns a hole in my mind

Blood and Candy
04:38
|
|||
I just do this to myself
It’s a game between fake and mad
I sacrifice my will
And look for meaning
It’s that same old story line
Yeah, the twists and turns of time
run riot in different ways
Tangle down the spiral of my yesterdays
Write my self-fulfilling prophecy
My life led to slaughter
Smells like blood and candy
I just do this to myself
Yeah I twist like an unborn child
There’s panic once again
Like poison spreading
In the burning hands of time
Lies a dreamer drunk of pride
Rely on hypocrisy
Fall into the habit of conformity
Write my self-fulfilling prophecy
My life led to slaughter
Smells like blood and candy
This blood of mine
It keeps me from growing old
Write my self-fulfilling prophecy
My life led to slaughter
Smells like blood and candy

Black Coffee
06:07
|
|||
There’s no xtc running down my spine
Only black coffee
Common drug that I’m allowed
But like a true addiction
I would like to flow
The weight of all sorrow fades
I’m always trapped in my head instead
Where’s the fire?
Are there pills that I should take?
Play some music for hollow you and hollow me
Let’s dance on the ashes of the madness of our dreams
The weight of all sorrow fades
I’m always trapped in my head instead
The friction between our souls and the outside world
Is vaster than the ocean
But I can’t stand the storm
I might ‘ve failed, but promise me that you’ll never change ‘cause
They’ll never understand
Lightning crashes down
In our bloody hand
I know, we are still the same
Lightning crashes down
In our beggars hand
The weight of all sorrow fades
I’m always trapped in my head instead

The Hangman
05:05
|
|||
A loaded gun in my hand
Trauma galvanizes hate
I’m looking at the old man
The loneliness of a mistake
Stop writing hell on the wall
An eye for an eye keeps us all in the dark
A loaded gun in my hand
But I’m too drunk to even know
Stop writing hell on the wall
It runs in my family. It sleeps in my home.
A loaded gun in my hand
Yeah, I’m too drunk to even know
I am raging in the flood
boiling water dances
I am raging in the flood
Anger is the way I give
History is madness
Are we vile or are we brave?
We walk among the shadows
It’s not easy to fit in
Stop writing hell on the wall
Living is giving and still you’re alone
A loaded gun in my hand
See, I’m too drunk to even know
I am raging in the flood
boiling water dances
I am raging in the flood
Anger is the way I give
Mother
Are you still there?
Can we even talk?
The light is fading out
I see it in your eyes
A loaded gun in my hand
Trauma galvanizes hate
I’m looking at the old man
The aftermath of a mistake
Stop writing hell on the wall
Living is giving and still you’re alone
A loaded gun in my hand
Yeah, It’s too dark to find my home
(put on the light)
The light is fading
Where is my home?
The hangman is waiting now
I can’t return

Shadow Man
06:08
|
|||
Your house caught on fire and I can’t look away
Trying to feel the meds kicking in
The bed is in the middle of the raging blaze
Fighting the flames of oblivion
Bedsheets are soaked in mortal sin
Let it all burn
Let it all burn
When I return I’ll take all the blame
I am the shadow man
shadow Man
Do you believe I’m your mind
Waisting the colours of my skin
Do you believe I’m your mind
Waisting the colours of my skin
The night caught on fire and I can’t walk away
Even when guilt comes calling again
Raising our voices above everything
Mild alcohol intoxication
Warming our flesh in the wilderness
Let it all burn, let it all burn
When I return I’ll take all the blame
I am the shadow man
Do you believe I’m your mind
Waisting the colours of my skin
Do you believe I’m your mind
Waisting the colours of my skin
Do you believe I’m your mind

Alter Ego
04:40
|

My body feels colder
My body, my body
My body feels colder
Feels colder, feels colder
Running scared, running
Running scared, running
My eyes turn blind
Stay away from the living
My body feels colder
My body, my body
My body feels colder
Feels colder, feels colder
Running scared, running
Running scared, running
Empty cradle
Red fang, razor
Black smoke choke all the light out of me
Few crumbs, dark blood
Dead bodies on my floor
A flock of hungry black crows coming near
Satan…
(what am I?)
Walk inside me
Walk inside me
When I wear my mind like a crown
I won’t kneel down
When I die, look me in my black eye
Sodom will rise
My body feels colder, my body
My body feels colder, my body

Anthem For The Wasted
06:42
|
|||
You need a little time
You gotta leave the wolves in their own space
I see it in your face
It’s easier to leave it all to fate
Wait
Wait ‘till it all end
So we can run again
We’re not supposed to be here
Let Judas hang himself
Take some time
We’re unable to compromise
Fast living, leaves us begging
Waiting for another chance
So we can run again
We’re not supposed to be here
Let Judas hang himself
The road is long
No one knows where it all began
We had nowhere to go
We might as well go all to hell
Sacrifice our own desires
Bear the pain as long as you can
It shows me what’s inside
We pull ourselves together again
Rips my head apart
Big dreams can spill out sometime
It’s how we survive in this place
And when we die we turn into stories
I want you to be weak like me
No one here survives
There’s no one to answer to
Our promises our blind
Hear my anthem for the wasted
I will start a fire
It burns for you

CARNEIA Belgium
Tiny particles of granite were found in the drinking water of Belgium. Could this be a credible explanation for CARNEIA's
eclectic wall of sound that wakes you up just as hard as a triple espresso?
CARNEIA is a post-metal band with members from KING HISS and MIAVA and is inspired by bands such as TOOL and FAITH NO MORE.
