_shadowstorm_ While there's just no beating Starlifter as a track, Venator is undoubtedly Mechina's best full album so far. It starts out strong and ends with a trio of 10/10 masterpieces, with the perfect blend of catchy rhythms, story depth and musical complexity. Favorite track: The Embers of Old Earth.

Jamal AKA Mal This album is great my biggest regret will never seeing any of these songs being performed live in concert. I also felt like this was just a Mechina Album the character journey was missing and that niche is why I listen to Mechina to escape. See you in 2023 where I hope Mechina takes me to another world.

Suffer 09:12
We all feel it in us Our two worlds Falling apart before our own eyes Those forgotten Those we abandon They dance within our frozen dreams and make us suffer The only path forward is to embrace the cold There is nothing left to discover Nothing driving our hearts much further Holy machine, standing before me Your lifeless eyes sing a song with only two words Suffer human Through our scars we suffer The only pathway forward There's nothing left to fight for There's nothing left to die for Suffer, human, slowly into the void Eyes with no hope Cold to the touch A future so broken There's nothing left to fight for There's nothing left to die for Suffer human slowly into the void Suffer human Through our scars we suffer With one life we endure the cruelty of time The Ancients live Go find the truth and suffer The only path forward is to embrace the cold We are not meant to live forever Yet, our ashes become immortal Listen to the tyrants desperately renouncing Hear them sing Suffer human Through our scars we suffer The only pathway forward There's nothing left to fight for There's nothing left to die for Suffer, human, slowly into the void Eyes with no hope Cold to the touch A future so broken There's nothing left to fight for There's nothing left to die for Suffer human slowly into the void Suffer human Through our scars we suffer Tell me at what cost are we willing to let go Helpless as the world burns Just let go The only peace we find is in our dreams

In silence, I know you can hear it Wide eyed, I know you can see it Our world, our one life Sacrificed for any price As the old world falls It's teeth will drag us with Oh, how much blood must be wasted? Crawling, I know you can feel it In the air, I know you can taste it Our world, our one life Sacrificed for any price As the old world falls It's teeth will drag us with In the end, only darkness Just like before we were first born When words fail, so begins the spiral Hateful eyes turning to kinetic Our world, our one life Sacrificed for any price As the old world falls It's teeth will drag us with Oh, how much blood must be wasted? Be reborn deep within the whirlwind Into the wild you find her echo Hydrus, our shield maiden, shares the same fate as you and I Her ghost still wonders in the land of endless rain In the end, only darkness Just like before we were first born We once said Praise Hydrus The queen of poison Her lies dripping into our bloodstream We all said Praise Hydrus She fought on all sides Be reborn, evolve into the wild We once said Praise Hydrus The queen of poison Her lies dripping into our bloodstream We all said Praise Hydrus She fought on all sides Be reborn, evolve into the wild Our world, our one life Sacrificed for any price As the old world falls It's teeth will drag us with Oh, how much blood must be wasted? Be reborn, evolve into the wild In the end, only darkness Just like before we were first born The North It calls Chase the rainfall

Such trees stand as ancient towers To shield the sky Relentless rain shedding their leaves As clouds move north Watch as thunder shifts the water We face the storm in search of the truth No more heroes Look around you Fields of steel and bone Those who came before us were devoured These graves are so shallow As steel extrudes from the ground Feel the air turning colder The storm front Glowing from the distant star light Onward into the wild Waist deep wading through the blackened water Cold rain, sings her song Your eyes Force them lower Feel the whirlwind Move in closer Together we face the storm in search of the truth No more heroes Look around you Fields of steel and bone Those who came before us were devoured These graves are so shallow As steel extrudes from the ground Feel the air turning colder As long as we all are bound by our nature You think it's just that simple? I've seen how machines can tear apart our human form Pleading Searching for meaning Pleading Give us a reason You can feel her voice in the water Beauty steels our heart yet words of poison can break whole worlds The storm front It seems so long ago We face the storm in search of the truth No more heroes Look around you Fields of steel and bone Those who came before us were devoured These graves are so shallow As steel extrudes from the ground Feel the air turning colder

Totemic 05:15
Searching inside You may not like what you find The tyrant The hero Never forget the coward Control and power Digging its teeth deeper Hear the ancient call Feel the poison flow Now cleanse your soul with soil and stone As raging water fights the air The night has to fall Watch the trees start to glow Cry into the wild Any sign or response from The tyrant The hero Never forget the coward Control and power Digging its teeth deeper Now cleanse your soul with soil and stone As raging water fights the air We forged our hearts for a world that never came Watch as we rip and tear out our skin

Venator 06:28
Feel your grip begin to wane Do not look down Feel your past begin to fade Quickly forget No saints, demons or angels left to find Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to fight Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to find Now it's time to open up your eyes Does any of this look right? Now it's time to cleanse your mind Do not look down No saints, demons or angels left to find Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to fight Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to find Hunt down every tyrant in the wild Leave none alive No saints, demons or angels left to find Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to fight Only tyrants among us Hunters who take their prey within the shadows No saints, demons or angels left to find

Aphelion 04:09
Watch as the rain breaks Only fragments of the sunrise break through the clouds In such moments We still remember why We still remember what it's like to lose it all Piece by piece we crumble Watch us tear at our skin These ancient embers still remain within us Honor still evades us all You must begin to look at this different All life All time All of it All of it burns Memories, all of them lost In such moments We still remember why We still remember what it's like to lose it all Piece by piece we crumble Watch us tear at our skin These ancient embers still remain within us Honor still evades us all We still remember what it's like to lose it all Piece by piece we crumble Watch us tear at our skin These ancient embers still remain within us Honor still evades us all

If only the dead could see what these worlds have come to be They would close their eyes and return to sleep With every step The synthetic divisions within her skin begin to glow Onward to find what lies behind Visions that curse our eyes to never see again Onward we hunt Traitors are marked Vengeance so pure we vow to never sleep again This machine world, in free fall Watch the godless rename Babylon The cracks in it's walls are seeping blood Corruption dreams to cage us one by one Don't fear the long night Seek star light See how they taunt us Endless life To start again To be reborn from the embers of old earth We must return Reclaim our home world Cursed be this gentle breeze Like specters, who carry the scent of war Oh, how timeless and true Be the human course to endless ruin Virton still breaths High above the sea Once shielded by Hydrus Now so vulnerable Do what you must Go find your peace Slowly in the soil or butchered by the sword This machine world, in free fall Watch the godless rename Babylon The cracks in it's walls are seeping blood Corruption dreams to cage us one by one Don't fear the long night Seek star light See how they taunt us Endless life To start again To be reborn from the embers of old earth We must return Reclaim our home world

Engulfed in the blinding light That rushes from my eyes Two titans breaking peace They seek a grand feast Spare me your empty words of a just world It's been so long since any human has looked me in the eyes You dare bring pity before me I am the god queen Our last human empire still remains within the shadows As embers turn to dust Our last human empire Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human Feel them breathing Titans awaken Hear the ancients call your name To find the truth through beauty or cruelty No moment for peace Let the ancients know your name You shall awaken Those who sleep in the den of tyrants Let them sing the leviathan war cry Spare me your empty words of a safe world You think nature cares how painful these open wounds feel You dare bring pity before me I am the god queen Our last human empire still remains within the shadows As embers turn to dust Our last human empire Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human Feel them breathing Titans awaken Hear the ancients call your name To find the truth through beauty or cruelty No moment for peace Let the ancients know your name To see a blood line thrive Kings and queens were born Generations lost To live forever forced to watch them one by one Carried to their graves by mothers with no name Forever bound to bury my own blood Our last human empire still remains within the shadows As embers turn to dust Our last human empire Shield your eyes as I remind them what is human Feel them breathing Titans awaken Hear the ancients call your name To find the truth through beauty or cruelty No moment for peace Let the ancients know your name
