My closest memory decays these empty feelings seem misplaced As you were searching for the dark I was a prisoner and you were a whore I know the secret of your past you cannot hide away from me and once your desires explore my fate you´re taking over more and more off the blame Broken from the start and I know your reasoning You were open from the start I see right through your wall Fulfilled the wish to be erased you were the dancer on my grave / in loneliness As if I didn´t know you were deceived by rude affairs Another chance to lose myself today Broken from the start and I know your reasoning You were open from the start I see right through your wall So I won´t choose to seek excuse for your mistakes Your emptiness exposes cold disgrace You were open from the start You were open from the start You were open from the start You were open from the start

Sinister 03:54
When you´re going insane / your assertiveness tends for more fame I’m hearing the warning, oh, from your mourning As you walked under shadows to meet your chance after losing your conscience there’s nothing to regret So I despise your mortal mind that’s always been maligned We’re chopping of this head of abandonment You’re sinister by design and not even born alive Be known to all for might The cost was my decline Like a thief you boldly lie In vain you looked for a sign I hoped your love inside Has been expanding (2x) Girl, I know that you’ve been hiding for all your life Although you say you're seeing, you will stay blind Your water of illusion makes fire die In spite of all the reasons for you to feel ashamed You ask others to pay for your sinful debt Your life is more than sinister with no respect As reality pushes you down again You keep offering service to fallen angels And I’m happy your plan failed so miserably Now we’ll see how your sins will bleed eternally Girl, I know that you’ve been hiding for all your life Although you say you're seeing, you will stay blind Your water of illusion makes fire die In spite of all the reasons for you to feel ashamed You ask others to pay for your sinful debt Your life is more than sinister with no respect

You know I cannot keep this up I know you got the bliss in time We know that we´ve been running dry And you keep not listening to me And I want you to be discreet But you put yourself above all the rest Pretending to resolve the mystery A thousand voices that can´t go wrong But always the same that remain in place There´s always excuses so you can´t be blamed I look upon you and let darkness shine Whatever forces let you in decline Neglecting the resources of my kind Eventually, I´ll know when you´ll be free By poisoning my mind By poisoning my mind you cannot lie Across the truth/ into the valley I feel surrounded by your distant pace You push the meek, rewarding recklessness Confusing masses to accept your fraud Your light hides greed and immorality I patiently waited for you to repent You´re a venomous serpent that negates the cure Repeating the circle of hate and disgust You´re burning my soul with the cup of betrayal The bread of starvation belongs to your victims There´s nothing inside me that wants your approval I´m dying tonight so you´re living forever

Leave Again 03:14
All you´re striving for is to bind the core of my soul just in case we’ll be meeting again `Cause it never ends / my brain cannot bend while I plead for your access to leave me again Let me reach the light / ever-longing for to be not defenseless by your delight As the sunrise extends my spirit awakes and it’s starting to melt away your old chains You’re not a part of my life I’d better find real eyes It’s time to leave me again Undo the wrong to survive You’re not a part of my life I’d better seek for advice I needed too long to find out that falsity kills All your enmity caused by endless needs is too much for an innocent soul to bear And it never ends / my heart breaks again on the road to exceed in reality Let me see the light of your blackened hands your corruption is taking on scales of sin As the sunrise extends my spirit awakes and it’s starting to melt away your old chains You’re not a part of my life I’d better find real eyes It’s time to leave me again Undo the wrong to survive You’re not a part of my life I’d better seek for advice I needed too long to find out that falsity kills
5.
Naked Lie 04:54
Remembered the time there used to be limits I fought for the truth but failed in a minute Where’s the voice of embrace? Your hypocrisy makes me insane I was cruel to the sign in a perfect amount to begin with a bow What a daily routine on that same ugly scene by repetitive means I cannot understand: why did you pretend, do you pretend to believe in me? It seems so easily liable Why did you believe? It seems you´ve never been useful. And so I saw your naked lie beforehand Allowed your mistakes to keep me from giving. The sound of increase has ceased in a minute I was true to your dream where the purpose of life was beheld in a screen Between screams and sheer pain You were born to obtain with competitive ease What a waste of the source How I feel no remorse is your riddle for ages to come It’s now done: You will no longer ask for support, you disgusting scum And so I saw your naked lie beforehand
6.
Torture Me 05:09
Pushing for the fight I’d rather be involved in horny vice than put my trust in your desire I’m hooked now on your silkiness I’m needing more of your exquisite suffering Return to me with silent gore Oh, I won’t ignore you anymore So torture me, I know that there is noting left for me to make up again I let your claws take over me Torture me, your vicious nails run through my veins you wish as I have understood for me to bleed entirely Whenever you are torturing me, I know that you’ve been hiding light Living for your death I pray for more integrity and less pernicious animosity Forgive the sin of my deceit Wanting more of your entire secrecy your trap ensnared me twice for sure Oh, I won’t neglect anymore I beg for more patience bestowing your face Love, wisdom for mercy: I show for exchange
7.
Wrong 05:26
We’re running in circles without any trust there’s nothing behind these imperfect masks Wherever we’re chosen to reconcile The future improves with each compromise I wondered how grief now has come undone So maybe we glow as tomorrow gives sorrow Wrong I apologize for all the wounds / I inflicted inside of you Wrong I have ravaged the core of your mind / Let me heal them all slowly Wrong I trespassed the smoke of disease / going till the light Wrong I corrected more than I changed Wrong your demands fade along the way Wrong Let nobody impede us from being the best. Let the fire become now the seal of unrest. Let the feeling of glory make you possessed. The keys of confusion that locked the impaled have changed into pictures with golden frames I found the solution to inner fears You may be allowed there to interfere A glorious disaster is out of spheres So maybe we take on new ways of success now Our cruelty becomes now Our cruelty becomes now Ohr cruelty becomes now A place for oblivion

You say that I belong to you, to me, to them No wonder I am torn you mark me for distress Well, I don’t know where to go when you deceive and entice Where else will I find the love enduring this worldly spine? Bridge 1a: Unreasonable atmosphere impeaching my private state Don’t teach me I have to stay The end won’t be quicker here Your enemy’s in the flesh depraving your energy So alter your principle or else you forfeit the lead Bridge 2: In glory I awake God blessed me with new waves We’ll meet another day if brotherhood remains You mock me for your lust Adduce me as an instance Before the cock crew twice Betrayed the inner vision And I don’t know where to go when you deceive and entice Where else will I find the love enduring this worldly spine? Bridge 1b: Unreasonable atmosphere impeaching my private state Don’t teach me I have to stay The end won’t be quicker here Bridge 2: In glory I awake God blessed me with new waves We’ll meet another day if brotherhood remains Chorus: Oho, why do you keep breaking the spirit? You haunt me for decades to come I recognized your ways to stunt Now I turn home my memories Why are you not mending the spirit? Eternity seems not enough I made it with help from above He finally sent inner peace
9.
I’m lost without you, my dear you never seem to disappear You’ve heard it a thousand times You’re beautiful from inside I’ve really been a younger friend Who has envisioned his life with you So, please, do not feel ashamed Are you afraid of the echos that oust foreign blame? I’m lost without you, my dear There’s no escape from this fantasy I will get you eventually and love you perpetually I stand as a humble man holding your tender hand touching the breath of your voice Lend me your precious lips I’ll catch your flaming kiss Let’s say: we returned to love The cost of your love, my dear, is measured in golden tears All jewelry will never shine as bright as the rays of your eyes So take my hand, don’t hesitate You’ll see the strength and joy against the rain Only your happiness is what I want whether you stand in heat or in storms
10.
Forever 04:33
Sometimes we reach for mountains that are too high Sometimes we see old rainbows beyond the sky And there is time and distance between our trust I´ll keep my promise to collect your holy dust Because you bolt yourself in walls of pain I break through your indignity Whenever you´ve been tortured and in plight Whenever you´re aching from that pain my love will be like eternal flames I´ll be holding you tightly I will hold you tightly And even if noone´s in your world I´ll tenderly show you endless love I´ll be holding you tightly I`ll be holding you tightly forever Somehow the signs of time have been silently intoxicating all our disparities Somewhere the wind is drawing a newer light Oh, please, accept my humble, sinless anthology And while you´re knocking on these walls of shame My answer is in shapes of love Whenever we´re confronted with distrust Whenever you´re aching from that pain my love will be like eternal flames I´ll be holding you tightly I will hold you tightly And even if noone´s in your world I´ll tenderly show you endless love I´ll be holding you tightly I`ll be holding you tightly forever Forever we´ll walk up in sunsets of grace If eternity’s living, we’ll thrive for the change I’ll be chasing the darkness away from our way So close, so connected like chambers of hearts

about

This is the first, self-titled album by Lacera. While trying to achieve a new sound by blending electronic with rock elements, the lyrical depth always was my priority. So in one way or another, this also is a conceptual album that ties a love-envy story to the protagonist´s (aka singer´s) separation from a spiritual prison.
The artwork represents the whole philosophy and meaning of Lacera (derived from "to lacerate"), which is the combination of the more aggressive and punchier sound with mellow and fragile tones.

I'm looking forward to your feedback!
I'm still in the process of mastering the mixing skills.
Hope you enjoy the music!
There are 2 bonus songs for each download (no purchase necessary).
