Thoughts – Not mine – Divulge – Enshrined
Fate – Now framed – Obey – Internal signs
Unparalleled technology – Mass control – Uniformity
Virulent- data seed – Guiding light of humanity
Modify imperfect minds
Emotionless – Perfect beings – Destiny Preconceived
Systematic - Programming – Thought data stream
Self- Forever lost
Abstraction – Thought process decays – Visions of life, seen through blind eyes- Cryptograms fall from the sky.
In Silence – Born within a cage – Emotionless eyes, force fed a lie – Emptyness, cold by design.
Centuries of obscenity, warring tribes, disease/decay.
Impulsive entity, blind with desire, driven from reality.
Thoughts – not mine- divulge – enshrined.
Scientific reasoning, a need for advanced evolution.
Tantalising, opportunity, civilisation condensed to a husk
Flashbacks of things to come, past and future are one.
Engineered to perfection, controlled on a whim, processed deep from within.
Fate – Now framed – Obey – Internal signs
A vision of precision, machine and flesh now as one.
Abstraction – Thought process decays – Visions of life, seen through blind eyes- Cryptograms fall from the sky.
In Silence – Born within a cage – Emotionless eyes, force fed a lie – Emptiness, cold and desire.
World inside unknown
Denied by force
Spirit of humankind
Lost in time
Decreed by minds superior,
Control – the last frontier,
The human mind – incompetent,
A responsibility for acts austere.
Bio - Technological warfare,
Steering the course of human evolution,
Leaving emotion and will a distant memory,
This is your digital self.

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
