And now you’ve got your fingers crossed, once again Even when all you see is desolation Will you still pray for salvation Looking up to a greater force Like the unknown could answer you Like all you saw were plastic phantoms Time to break the crystal ball The human fear has dwelt and Time to rise and stand up tall Don’t dig yourself in the rabbit hole FUCK Still I just can’t believe You force your will to see A globe with pretended barriers Convictions swallowed like vital pills And now you’ve got your fingers crossed, once again Even when all you see is desolation Will you still pray for salvation Time to break the crystal ball The human fear has dwelt and Time to rise and stand up tall Don’t dig yourself in the rabbit hole Don’t dig yourself down Re-think the knowledge you’ve found Don’t dig yourself down Smoke and mirrors face the ground The fire of ignorance burns like the tail of the phoenix Unveil the truth of this shade Down to the rabbit hole

Look at yourselves The image fades as the dust on a shelf Marching Soldiers Of an empire of decerebration Do you remember? When We Were Wolves Never lost our sleep over the words of the mindless sheep Will you surrender To this endless shame Or will you face like a man The challenges in your lane Knives now cut from behind mirrors’ reflections As we cover our faces with masks We can’t control the strength of our words And we keep feeding a system of fakery Refuse this bullshit This is fucked up from the bone Refuse this bullshit Be the one torch that stands, facing the light of the moon I will no longer take this It’s a thought the makes me hopeless Vice stains our big knowledge The shining eyes are staring at you Ready to judge every action you do In a globe where spineless creatures Make profit out of somebody’s weakness I’m leaving without regret These broken chains I just want to forget Do you remember? When We Were Wolves Never lost our sleep over the words of the mindless sheep Will you surrender To this endless shame Or will you face like a man The challenges in your lane OHW Our hunting season is open again OPEN THE EYE OF THE WOLF OPEN THE EYE OF THE WOLF Let the jaw bite strong

[MC Viper] HEY you man, take your life back Find your way Catch the rope I’ve thrown at you YO! ------------------ And here I am again Facing this war with myself I think I’ve lost it all I just can’t climb this wall Have you ever felt like you were dead inside So much that your breath Is the only proof that you’re alive My soul is trapped in a haunted cage There with shadows it remains [MC Viper] Wake up! Don’t step back Wake up! No more regrets! This is time to become a man, find yourself, be yourself And get on the right track. Wake up! Don’t step back Wake up! No more regrets! One more day in this fucking hell with your friends Can be better if you break your own shell ________________________________________­___________ All I wanted was to dig deeper inside of me I never thought I’d end in the darkest places I’ve ever been I wish these regrets were only memories I gave it all But still I’m paying for this My ship’s now drowning In this lake of apathy And my mind’s never been so weak My eyes are begging to see the land That lies behind these waves and sand [MC Viper] Wake up! Don’t step back Wake up! No more regrets! This is time to become a man, find yourself, be yourself And get on the right track. Wake up! Don’t step back Wake up! No more regrets! One more day in this fucking hell with your friends Can be better if you break your own shell ______________________ All I wanted was to dig deeper inside of me I never thought I’d end in the darkest places I’ve ever been I wish these regrets were only memories I gave it all But still I’m paying for this The grains of sand cross the hourglass ceaselessly These golden memories are still lying in my heart If I were gone would you miss me? Or is my grave the only one waiting? So bring me back home, Be the lighthouse in this storm.

Today I’ll tell you the story Of a place where you can live free A world where justice and equality Will finally reign supreme The empire I’ve built Has its basis on your emargination The only prophet you need is yourselves But ‘til you won’t realize that I’ll keep stabbing your back All you have to do is believe Forget all you know and join the utopia with me We’ll heal all the wounds of this bleeding society I dare you to become deaf When the voice of your thoughts Will be knocking at your head Keep in mind I’m not a common man And I can read your mind till you’re dead The empire I’ve built Has its basis on your emargination The only prophet you need is yourselves But ‘til you won’t realize that I’ll keep stabbing your back Our dream has now come true I’m at your side, working hard with you The ones who stay in the old dead nation Are now condemned to a life of oppression But now they’re coming to get us Drink the potion before it’s too late DRINK This is how we self-liberate Your freedom is not a choice now Your freedom is not a choice now.

Wake up the blind! Cause they just can’t see The human race is Paving her way to a deserved extinction What will remain When no more stars will light the lane? What will remain Of our reckless rage Our home and mother Is looking down on us Holding the hourglass in her hands How did we come to this? When did the progress become an excuse to feed the human greed? What will remain When no more stars will light the lane? What will remain Of our reckless rage We’re digging our grave Into the deepest abyss Just like birds Destroying the tree that they nested on Cowardice fills the hearts Of the ones who pretend They don’t know That this is something bigger than us all What will remain When no more stars will light the lane? What will remain Of our reckless rage On to the wreckage We paved our way To the place where it’s useless to pray For our mistakes The flowing river brings us the message Nature’s adepts it’s time we rise So look the ones who’ve built this straight in the eyes And tell ‘em welcome to your demise (To your demise)

Yeah! This is the point of no comeback The darkest creatures Are calling from the depths within Her touch feels like the sharpest blade Engraving my skin So close your eyes And join this bloodcurdling ride Hear the infernal noise Of the souls sacrificed Death’s hand on my shoulder Reminds me the clock is ticking fast I’m falling again Behind ghosts and ashes My eyes are in front of you I will find the truth In a couple of moments All is falling fast Because we are in war This is the price That we payed The price we payed I am now part of this machine it gives me second birth The sirens of damnation lead you straight to hell on earth The abyss I’m sinking in Is ceaselessly Making it harder to breathe I can’t remember what it feels like to be alive Without carrying this lament inside I am the paladin of hate, but it’s not my choice Cause every time I close my eyes All I hear is her voice I can’t remember what it feels like to be alive Without carrying this lament inside She screams for revenge, I won’t be free till her payback But until then my soul is stained by black I am the darkest wood I am the fullest moon I shed the light of destruction Now it’s time to set her free Now it’s time to set her free SET HER FREE Don’t beg for mercy As the knife cuts deeper Cause I won’t be done with you Until I suffocate you With my own hands

about

This is Act of Departure's first full length album, released in the summer of 2015.

The album sets AOD to a new musical level, with the Italians blending heavy breakdowns, anthemic choruses and crunchy dubstep drops to achieve the perfect modern metal sound.
The concept album talks about human race and in particular about how we are slowly degenerating, but each song is a story of her own.
Musically and lirically, this is a huge step forward compared to the EP "Our Past, Our Tragedy".
