'Lucifer Rising' is the oldest song composed for this album, and we released a demo/single version of it already in 2017. The story of the song fit the album theme so well that we thought this epic fan-favorite song deserves an updated version. The lyrics dive inside the mind of a lonely, misunderstood and desperate man who does not want to be anyone's nightmare but in the end, his own thoughts are preventing him to connect with other people.

LYRICS:
I can't let you run away from me
I need to follow your traces
You're hiding under your veil of fear
Inside your head
Inside your walls of contempt
I can't conquer the demon in my reflection
I'm becoming the devil of my own desire
I've set my soul on fire
And it burns with its tormenting flames
They’re burning my eyes
Through the glass I can see you
When my needs devour my senses
Solitude chased away
My humanity
This beast
I've become is covering my eyes
I know my hands can't harm you
I’ve got nothing to hide
I am the master of deception
The manic illusion of your mind
I am the one who drives you
I am the will behind your evil thoughts
Of you
Acting against my will expel you
I only want to tell you my name
But my words come out frightening
Scaring you away from me
I am the devil in disguise
Stripping away your dignity
I'm hated and misunderstood
No one can hear my voice
And I can't make you see
The real me
I don't want to be your nightmare
There's no violence in my head
See my eyes without a sight
And tell me what you see
But in disguise, behind lies
I'm the reflection of this world
Of cold and indifferent
Of isolation
I know my hands won’t harm you
I’ve got nothing to hide
Another day
Another mind
Away from light
Away from pain
Choked or despised
Strangled or ignored
Repressed or depressed?
Another night
Another despising look
Another place
Without you!
