All Tongues of Babel

by CARNEIA

supported by

VinceS I don't know what it is, but I like every project (Kyunin, Fenndango, King Hiss, ...) where Jan Coudron is involved. "All Tongues of Babel" is again a strong release after their "White Coma Light" from 2008.

I keep on thinking about the damage done I keep on thinking: “what the hell have I done wrong?” The devil dances in my hand But god is on my side It is a comfortable religion that eases my mind Now, I feel your body, feel your body yeah, I feel your body, feel your body, now We’re on a ride, Justine The signs are all clear So I’m taking over here We’re on a ride, Justine One mustn’t be afraid When the maniac comes out to play Punishment is accepted. I smile and bow my head I’m too weak to resist temptation, ‘cause you make me feel like a saint. The devil dances in my hand But god is on my side It is a comfortable religion that eases my mind Now, I feel your body, feel your body Now, I feel your body, feel your body, now We’re on a ride, Justine The signs are all clear So I’m taking over here We’re on a ride, Justine One mustn’t be afraid When the maniac comes out to play Something is black inside me What’s going on? Confession justifies the wrong Something is black inside me What’s going on? Confession purifies the wrong We’re on a ride, Justine We’re on a ride, Justine Now, I feel your body, feel your body Now, I feel your body, feel your body, now Come over here, I need some healing Come over here, I will take care of you We’re on a ride Justine We’re on a ride Justine
2.	Jerk 05:21	lyrics	buy track
I take whatever I want, whatever I need and do as I please It sounds like a plan. At least for a while And when I get bored. I’ll mess with somebody else Now, You were meant to follow And they were meant to lead I just try to hold on and have my kicks before I leave This burden I bear, is dragging me down I just want some peace of mind inside of my head Chorus: Put your hands on my face Put your hands on my - face Put your hands on my face I know, you’ve heard this before But lies are so sweet like candy, you want more and more While I just try to hold on to my ego and my dreams This burden I bear, is dragging me down I just want some peace of mind inside of my head Chorus Put your hands on my face Put your hands on my - face Put your hands on my face Just have some patience with me I know it’s hard to believe I’ve been a jerk But I’ll change, yeah. Change yeah Put your hands on my face Put your hands on my face
3.	The Box 08:55	lyrics	buy track
There’s a man in this dark place He’s the one who’s doing it Every single day They brought us here from where It puzzles me again Every single day Like it’s all one big joke I’m waiting for the punch line So I can laugh to sleep There’s a man in this dark place He’s the one who knows How this shit will end Why! Are we victims of this life I’m walking in circles, in circles And like an animal I am looking for a way out I’m putting too much stress upon myself Upsetting me upsetting me Pile up the boxes and put them against the wall I’ve opened the first one, it makes no sense at all Perhaps some exercise will do me good So bring it on, bring it on, bring it on now Why… are we victims of this life I am wondering… Why… are we victimised Why… are we victims of this life I am wondering … Why… are we victimised Now bring it, bring it on, now Bring it on, bring it on, now Bring it on , bring it on, now Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on Now Look into my eye… shit inside my soul Look into my eye… shit inside my soul Look into my eye… So, what do you think you see? What do you think you see? Shit inside my soul, shit inside my soul
4.	The Alchemist 06:22	lyrics	buy track
Where can I find my own legend? Is our universe well disposed? Are these questions just part of Me relating to a bigger soul? Facing my own faults I’m trying to make it right Trying to learn of my faults Faults I’m trying to make it right Trying to learn of my faults Am I changing this metal into gold Or am I bound to disintegrate? All these shadows are like vessels send them out and hope they won’t come back There is something they call freedom what’s the point if you don’t make a choice Facing my own faults I’m trying to make it right Trying to learn of my faults Faults I’m trying to make it right Trying to learn of my faults Am I changing this metal into gold Or am I bound to disintegrate? Regeneration It takes time to find a way It takes time to find a recipe Regeneration It takes time to make it right To turn this nightmare into a dream Am I changing this metal into gold Or am I bound to disintegrate?
5.	Naked 08:40	lyrics	buy track
Naked I’m Naked I’m laying with you Tasting the sparks of your fire Still I feel like I am lacking space and lacking time and question why I lay Naked with you Take me Scratch me Join me in my head Your scent is making me high I broke the looking glass and closed the door It’s been so hard But we’ve survived I lay - Naked Lay down Lose yourself, we stand alone What’s the use of being strong Intoxicated we fall down We all fall down Don’t stop me now No reasons to believe I’m getting colder Don’t stop me now Wasted I’m wasted We’re falling to soon I’m drowning our jewelry in paint because their all fake you still hold on to the memory of all those yesterdays But why should I care? I die Naked with you Lay down Lose yourself, we stand alone What’s the use of being strong Intoxicated we fall down We all fall down Don’t stop me now No reasons to believe I’m getting colder Don’t stop me now
6.	Walk 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Walk away I just walk away again, I spend my days like a millionaire Buy me a life! Give in to greed! Lost, alone and I’m in need I just walk away I just walk away again, Spit my brain, disciple of hate Shouting loud at the barricades Work and shake the hand that feeds I just walk I just walk I’m not in the mood of facing my own reflection We medicate ourselves to deal with all our fears A stranger to my own I’m trying but I always tend to fuck things up Walk away I just walk away again, I spend my days like a millionaire Buy me a knife! Pretend I’m free! Scum and walk with other sheep I just walk I just walk I’m not in the mood of facing my own reflection, yeah We medicate ourselves to deal with all our fears A stranger to my own I’m trying but I always tend to fuck things up Walk away I just walk away again
7.	All Tongues of Babel 07:00	lyrics	buy track
Sure my perspective Is quite ineffective twisted opinion, pretentious reflections of life Sick of these lies Won’t lay my trust in the system Your vote feeds the cancer We all fight for ourselves It’s the essence of life The moment you crown yourself It’s all done And power is corrupting your senses I know you would like to give me hand Instead you are slapping my face Don’t worry, it’s human nature Sure my perspective Is quite ineffective twisted opinion, pretentious reflections of life Sick of these lies Won’t lay my trust in the system Your vote feeds the cancer As soon as now, politics fail Everyone is divided and opposed As soon as now, the system breaks Find yourself alone
8.	Indifferent 07:44	lyrics	buy track
I’m waking up ‘cause the cabin is on fire They all leave, but I’m so tired I’d rather stay and watch the place burn down Maybe one day you’ll understand When shit goes down and sides are taken, you find out soon who was fakin' What’s left for me, are footprints in the sand and ashes glowing in my hand glowing in my hand They don’t care if you care They will treat you like a fool They don’t care if you care It makes no difference what we do I wanna be indifferent For us it’s prison everywhere The guards are trained to be your friend Their eyes are flat, their voice is calm Maybe one day you’ll understand When shit goes down and sides are taken, you find out soon who was fakin' What’s left for me, are walls around my head and pills that keep me from going mad I am going mad They don’t care if you care They will treat you like a fool They don’t care if you care It makes no difference what we do I wanna be indifferent There’s a man in this dark place He’s the one who’s doing it Every single day They brought us here from where It puzzles me again Every single day They don’t care if you care They brought us here from where It puzzles me again Every single day

about

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. ... more
