Faultlines

by New Paradigm

supported by

Morts thumbnail
Morts The occasional keyboard solo of the type more associated with power or speed metal (Jens Johansson the most prolific name that comes to mind) should be outta place in this slab of metalcore, but personally I think it brings a fresh perspective and blends well with the overall sound! Gotta admit I'm not overly thrilled with the clean vocals, but aside from that New Paradigm puts in a strong showing here, especially the first and last tracks. Favorite track: Faultlines.

Circles 03:13
Raise your torches to the sky! Today we march upon the kings to claim our stolen freedom Grab your pitchforks, raise them high! We'll tear the walls down stone by stone And end this cursed kingdom Heads will roll as tyrants die Injustice will now be repaid By blades of revolution (With) the sunrise, the blood dries, The smoke clears from the battle The world changed, by our blades, Yet everything is still the same Yesterday We fought the tyrants and brought justice to this land A victory we paid in blood Today we rise Only to find we are right back where we began Bought with the blood of martyrs Freedom is never free (A) cycle of endless madness Laid bare for all to see Done in the name of justice Corrupted from within Rebels becoming tyrants (The) circle begins again Revolution for all our days Trapped like a rat inside a maze (With) the sunrise, the blood dries, The smoke clears from the battle The world changed, by our blades, Yet everything is still the same Yesterday We fought the tyrants and brought justice to this land A victory we paid in blood Today we rise Only to find we are right back where we began

Hunting, in the black of midnight Fleeing, as the shadows fade into the sun With the break of day We make our way amongst the graves To where the monster lies in wait The hunter now becomes the hunted We will cleanse this place And free the blood-born from her fate Here in this tomb Her body lies More beautiful Than the day she died Now time for me To play my part And drive this stake Right through her heart The lady that I loved so much Turned to ashes at my touch Rising, with the breaking dusk Feeding, as the vein pours out innocent blood Hunting, in the black of midnight Fleeing, as the shadows fade into the sun The lady that I loved so much Turned to ashes at my touch Wield the hammer, bring undone The monster that she has become Here in this tomb Her body lies More beautiful Than the day she died Now time for me To play my part And drive this stake Right through her heart Lying, in her cursed coffin Screaming, as her undead body turns to dust The lady that I loved so much Turned to ashes at my touch Wield the hammer, bring undone The monster that she has become

Earthrise 05:27
Strapped into a rocketship The voices counting down Light the fire beneath us And send us through the clouds From another world we saw the Earthrise falling into place Our journey awaits us One day our endless quest will send us past the moon The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon Sent across the universe our voyage to the stars Conquering the skies above Per aspera ad astra We sail so far Amongst the stars From another world we saw the Earthrise falling into place Our journey awaits us One day our endless quest will send us past the moon The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon From another world we saw the Earthrise falling into place Our future awaits us One day our endless quest will send us past the moon The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon

Veil 03:53
By the pale illumination of the waning crescent moon Memories flicker like shadows on the windows of this room And the question repeats again: When does memory come to an end? For tonight he'll feel his past rewind once again As the veil that separates this life from the next will grow thinner as the moon grows dim in the darkness she'll return to him Through the veil On the altar lie momentos of the love that they once shared One life for another A price he'll pay to see her again Midnight will fall Tearing the walls Feeding the yearning deep inside Paying the price A blood sacrifice Once again he'll see her face And he'll hear her voice Once again he'll hold her close As they share their love anew On the altar lies The victim chosen for the sacrifice He opens the book Reads the words and prepares to act The horrors that lie within Raise the knife Final rites Bring her memory to life Midnight will fall Tearing the walls Feeding the yearning deep inside Paying the price A blood sacrifice Once again he'll see her face And he'll hear her voice Once again he'll hold her close As they share their love There's no end to what he'll do Just to share their love anew By the pale illumination of the waning crescent moon Memories flicker like shadows on the windows of this room And the answer repeats again: That her memory will never end

Divergence 11:03
On the edge of Hell we stand Beneath another foreign sign Across the battlefield we face The monsters of our own design So raise the flag, remember who your loyalty is with today For all the gold is worthless if you die before you get your pay Vultures circle overhead As our masters raise their battlecry Time to roll the dice and find out If today's our day to die So raise your sword and shield Today we fight for other gods and kings And hold your head high as we march toward the end of everything Are we just knights inside this nightmare? Cursed to fight forever more (The) shadows of all the dreams that died there What are we fighting for? Stand firm as the battle begins Courage, find the warrior within Never let the enemy win! Charge the lines and slaughter All the enemies in your way Fight with honour and you'll live to fight another day Live to fight another day So raise your sword and shield Today we fight for other gods and kings And hold your head high as we march toward the end of everything Are we just knights inside this nightmare? Cursed to fight forever more (The) shadows of all the dreams that died there What are we fighting for? All the banners now have come undone Now worthless rags Burned and tattered, torn to shreds All the battles that we'd fought and won For fallen flags Buried now beneath the dead On the edge of Hell we stand With the bloodstains on our hands And we look back Over all the battles we had fought Did we sell our loyalties For a thousand worthless creeds? Now we look back And we find out it was all for nought Blood is flowing out from me and I know this is my final fight No honour left for me, I die as just one more misguided knight So raise your sword and shield Today we fight for other gods and kings And hold your head high as we march toward the end of everything Are we just knights inside this nightmare? Cursed to fight forever more (The) shadows of all the dreams that died there What are we fighting for?

Night falls as the sun descends on the eve of the longest day Fate calls and the jealous gods will rescind their wicked ways Banished for crimes unpardoned Left in a barren place A thousand years of darkness Erased without a trace A thousand years have passed The longest day has come The stars will aid in my escape Nighttime eternal has begun! (In the darkness all will see...) A thousand years have passed The longest day has come The stars will aid in my escape It has begun! Look to the skies For the heavens will now never be the same And the night will last forever Those who'd forgot my existence will now bow before my name And the night will last forever

Rubicon 04:30
And with the sunrise We'll step across that river's bank and know that once we cross that line That there will be no turning back We'll send a message to them all that we will not be held by empty lies and broken compromise, No we will rise and take our destiny with our own hands with our own hands With this next step, the die is cast No turning back until my last For a thousand days we wandered We came, we saw, we conquered Every death, every breath Devoted to our cause Betrayed by those we'd fought for The destiny they'd sought for Every breath, every death Marks our revenge and our return With this next step, the die is cast No turning back until my last Hear the strains of the final chorus Heralding our destiny We will conquer the world before us and we'll write our names in history With this next step, the die is cast No turning back until my last

Faultlines 08:15
When all you see is ashes And all your dreams have turned to dust A dawning realisation That you were burned by those you trust We thought that we would live forever But we found we were wrong Split apart along the faultlines That were there all along It's in these moments when you stop and think about all that you've done And you see your whole life flashing right before your eyes Then you wonder how you'd ever thought the day would never come When old wounds open up and your dream dries up and dies We thought that we would live forever But we found we were wrong Split apart along the faultlines That were there all along Unheard by deafened ears The words were left unspoken Unseen by blinded eyes The cracks began to open Building to a breakdown An inexorable calamity Heading for a shakedown An inevitable catastrophe It's in that moment when you stop and feel the ground begin to shake And you see whole world crashing down before your eyes When you set off down the road you thought you'd never have to take And you realise that everything that you believed was lies (For) all the times we fought For all that we were worth Now all our dreams are torn apart Like the cracks upon the (earth) We thought that we would live forever But we found we were wrong Split apart along the faultlines That were there all along (For) all the times we fought For all that we were worth Now all our dreams are torn apart Like the cracks upon the (earth)
