LOOK AT MY FACE
NEVER SEEN A SMILE LIKE THAT
IS IT ME, OR YOU?
WHO’S IN MY PLACE?
CAN’T REMEMBER WHO I AM
WHAT’S MY NAME, THIS TIME?
WITHOUT A TRACE
APPEARANCE IS A PRETEXT FOR THE GAME I PLAY
SWEET TO THE TASTE
DROP OF WATER ON MY TONGUE
GIVE ME LIFE, OR DEATH
I COULDN’T WALK
SO I STUMBLED BACK TO MY HIDEAWAY
I COULDN’T TALK
SO I MUMBLED EVERY WORD
WHAT’S TO SAY?
BORN IN THIS PLACE,
A BASTARD OF EVERY MAN
CURSED TO BELIEVE I’M THE LUCKY COIN IN THE WELL
USING MY GIFT, A FORTUNATE VAGABOND
I WON’T DIE STARING AT THE SUN
I’D TAKE YOUR LIFE FOR A RUMOR
AMALGAMATE YOU IN MY MIND
“BRILLIANT LIGHT, HIDDEN LIKE A NEOPHYTE
BLOOMING, WAITING, FOR THE RIGHT HAND TO REVEAL
WHAT’S BEEN LOST, AND WHAT’S TO COME
PAY THE PRICE, IT’S ALL OR NONE
TWELVE LABORS UNDER THE SUN
GO WITH CARE UNDER THE MOON
MAKE YOUR WAY INTO THE DUNES
TEST YOUR FLESH IN PERDITION
LET THE FLAMES LICK YOUR EGO
PURIFY INCOGNITO
DON’T STOP WHEN YOU WANT TO DIE”
LOOK AT MY FACE
NEVER HEARD A THOUGHT LIKE THAT
HARD TO SAY WHO SPEAKS
LET’S START THE CHASE
DESTINY IS IN THE WASTE
OPEN MY THIRD EYE
WITHOUT A PLACE
BELONGING’S JUST A CONCEPT
IN THE LIFE I LEAD
CURSED OR BLESSED FATE?
BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I WAS YOUNG
DON’T KNOW WHY
DON’T CARE
IF YOU EVER GET A GOOD LOOK AT THESE EYES
YOU’LL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A MASK FOR MY DISGUISE
DAY IN, DAY OUT
IT’S ALL THE SAME
CHANGING MY FACE
CHANGING MY NAME
LAISSEZ-FAIRE LIFE
IT’S JUST A GAME
IF THERE’S A GOD
CAN I BE HIS GREATEST SHAME?
YOU ASK IF THE LIFE I LEAD EATS AT ME?
NO MORE THAN YOURS
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU ARE BLIND IN THIS WORLD
NEW EYES WILL REVEAL WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO FIND
PLAY THE GAME FOR PARADISE
WHO YOU ARE, ONE OF A KIND
CIRCUMSTANCE, THAT’S THE REAL CRIME
THIS LIFE OF MINE IS SATURNINE
I SEE WHAT I WANTED TO SEE
I HEAR WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR

QUESTION MY MEMORIES
PRESSURE TO BLEED THIS DREAM
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED
RECORD WILL BE BURNED
WHAT IS MY PRIZE?
TO PASS THIS GAUNTLET I VISUALIZE?
SHINING SO BRIGHT, THE GLIMMER CATCHES AND REFRACTS THE LIGHT
QUESTION MY MEMORIES
PRESSURE TO BLEED THIS DREAM
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED
RECORD WILL BE BURNED
I’VE SEEN THIS, I’VE BEEN HERE…. BEFORE MY TIME
(UNEARTH ME)
I’VE MET YOU, I WAS YOU….. DIFFERENT LIFETIME
(YOU AND ME)
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS?
EACH PATH I TAKE IS DOOMED
SIDE-STEP INTO THE GLOOM
JUST WHO IS IN CONTROL?
DARKEST BLUE THAT I’VE EVER SEEN
DEJA VU, ALL FLOODED WITH GREEN
BUT I DON’T WANT TO FORGET PLACES, FACES
I SURRENDER REGRET
LETTING GO IS BITTER-TASTING
SO I WILL DO WHAT I WANT TO
MY SKIN IS SHED
OLD DREAMS ARE DEAD
CONTROL MY BREATH, I TASTE MY SWEAT
SAVORED LIKE DEATH, STEALING WHAT’S LEFT
ONE MORE STEP IS MORE THAN I CAN ASK FOR
OUT LOUD I CRY, THE PAIN… SUBLIME
THE NIGHT CHILLS ME, HORROR FILLS ME
BUT I PROTEST, MADLY OBSESSED
MY MIND WANDERS… HAVE I SQUANDERED A LIFE WORTH ENVYING?
CAN YOU SEE HEAVEN?
SUN ON MY FACE, BOILING MY BRAINS
I FEEL IT SPILL FROM MY HEAD
I TRY TO CATCH ALL THAT I CAN, BUT IT SLIPS THRU MY FRAIL HANDS
WHY AM I SO WEAK?
MY MIND SLEEPS
RUN STRAIGHT TO ME, I’M WHAT YOU NEED
LOVE ON BENT KNEE, I’LL MAKE YOU SEE…
WHAT I CAN DO IF I FOCUS ON THE PAIN
I LET IT WASH OVER ME, BAPTIZED IN THE BINARY
OH FUCK, I’M FORGETTING EVERYTHING IMPORTANT
WILL I BE THE SAME?
I CAN’T REMEMBER
WHERE DID I COME FROM?
NO LIKE IT MATTERS
YOU NEVER QUESTION IT, MENTION IT
FORCED TO LIVE COUNTERFEIT
WHO SAID YOU HAVE TO FORGET?
WITH ALL THESE REGRETS, HOW COULD YOU OBJECT?
YOU COULD BE ENDLESSLY SUFFERING
MEANT TO BE NEVER FREE
LOATHING EVERY SECOND
ANOTHER BREATH IN IS A BLESSING
MY ANGER COVERS ME, COMPLETELY EXPOSING EVERYTHING
MY FACE IS NOT MY OWN

PLEASE, TELL ME YOUR NAME
HAVE I BEEN LONG?
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
HERE, BURNT AT BOTH ENDS
PUDDLING QUICK, WHAT DO I FIND?
LIFE, LIVING INSIDE MY SEVERED MIND
I WAS SO BLIND
PLUCKED, STRAIGHT FROM THE VINE
CATCHING THE LIGHT, WILL YOU BE MINE?
BE MY SLAVE?
WOULD YOU BOW TO ME?
WOULD YOU COWER, PLEASE?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUFFER FOR IT?
BLOOM, HERE IN THIS PLACE
AMONG THE WEEDS OF YOUR SOMA
SEEP, INTO THE CRACKS
FILL IN THE MOLD, STOKE YOUR EGO
FUCK THE GREATER GOOD
IT’S ALL A SHAM
LET NO ONE IN
THE MEMORIES ARE HAUNTING ME
(CAN’T YOU SEE?)
JUST WHO IS IN THE DRIVER SEAT?
(YOU’RE NOT ME)
COMING THROUGH THE FREQUENCY
(SURFACING)
FEELING LIKE A FEVER DREAM
(PEAK BEHIND THE CURTAIN)
I CAN SEE GREEN AND WATER EVER FLOWING
I WANT TO HOLD YOU UNDER
NOW IN MY HANDS I’M GRASPING LIFE INCARNATE
SO, SHOULD I SATE MY WONDER?
DRAW YOUR NUMBER?
YOU KNOW MY NAME
I WAS YOUR REPAST, GOURMET
YOU’VE EATEN MY WHOLE SPIRIT
WHAT IS THERE THAT I HAVEN’T ALREADY LOST?
I LAMENT VINDICATED AND KAIROTIC
NOW I ASK YOU
WOULD YOU BOW TO ME?
WOULD YOU COWER, PLEASE?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUFFER FOR IT?
WIND IS ON MY FACE
I CAN HEAR THE OCEAN NOW
WHERE WAS I BEFORE THIS DAY?
SITTING IN MY PEACE
DO I FEEL MELANCHOLIC?
IS THS GUILT A PART OF ME?
WATER ON MY LIPS
BETTER THAN AN ARID TONGUE
MOST DRIER MOUTHS RARELY SPEAK
I DON'T HAVE A CARE
MY LIFE IS MUCH BETTER NOW
WITHOUT WEEDS IN MY GARDEN
I’M LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL
ARE YOU THERE?
DOWN IN THE PIT
THERE IS NO LIGHT
NOTHING TO SEE
THERE IS ABSENCE
THERE IS A VOID
DARKNESS CRUSHING
THE GROUND IS DRY
THE FLOWER BLEEDS
HOPE DEPARTS
I CLOSE MY EYES
STIFLE A GRIN
THIS IS THE END
SITTING HERE
MY WEIGHT LIKE A STONE
PONDERING, THE FATE OF THE WORLD
FORGIVENESS WILL NOT BE GRANTED
HYPNOTIZED, I FORGET MY LIFE
COURTING DEATH, I’M LIFTING HER SHROUD
ONE LAST KISS BEFORE ESCHATON
SILENT TOMB, I WON’T LET YOU BLOOM
STOLEN TIME, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE
LOOK-A-LIKE, THAT JUST DON’T FEEL RIGHT
WHO IS WHO?
I’M FORGETTING TOO
BUT ONE THING WILL PERSIST THROUGH CHANGE
TIME PASSES, MY HATRED REMAINS
TIME PASSES, MY HATRED REMAINS
SITTING HERE
MY WEIGHT LIKE A STONE
PONDERING, THE FATE OF THE WORLD
FORGIVENESS WILL NOT BE GRANTED
HYPNOTIZED, I FORGET MY LIFE
COURTING DEATH, I’M LIFTING HER SHROUD
ONE LAST KISS BEFORE ESCHATON
SILENT TOMB, I WON’T LET YOU BLOOM
STOLEN TIME, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE
LOOK-A-LIKE, THAT JUST DON’T FEEL RIGHT
WHO IS WHO?
I’M FORGETTING TOO
BUT ONE THING WILL PERSIST THROUGH CHANGE
TIME PASSES, MY HATRED REMAINS
TIME PASSES, MY HATRED REMAINS

The Alpha Incident Evansville, Indiana
Five guys playing progressive metal in Southern Indiana.
If you like The Alpha Incident, you may also like:
It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret
supported by 5 fans who also own “Sundowner”
One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Sundowner”
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Sundowner”
Proggy epic-ish metal, without being over the top but being totally inspired. Lots of almost anthemic vocals, while still having the compexity prog-heads crave.
go to album
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable.
go to album
Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

Nel Nome Del Codice
by KEYGEN CHURCH
The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.
