Seduction 04:17
Seduction Left to live a life of lies without a sense of truth Tried to solve a puzzle of existence in my youth All the while I craved for something pure to cleanse my eyes Death instead was in my bed and craving my demise But then I realized... I threw my love into a world so far You caught it and left it into coal tar Thrown Inside a pit of leeches, sucking out my soul I spiraled in a rollercoaster of sex without control And every time I grew attached, I'd take a knife right into the heart So from there, I kept my distance and we grew far apart ...but the shame, you will never get to feel my shame, And I'll try to steer clear of you, As the woman that corrupted my soul, A reminder of all my pain, You will never get to feel my pain, The urge for our family, The way things revolved around us, The way it is to really be... I threw my love into a world so far You caught it and left it into coal tar I threw my love into a world so cold You caught it and left it to grow so old Jahve washes away the sin, the pain you bring, Jahve washes away the sin, the pain you brought to me...

Starshine 04:28
Starshine A hand pulls my head up while I still sleep My eyes are torn out before I can see, My throat is slit before I can scream But hey now wake up, it's just another dream If I could see the stars shine then the whole sky would be mine, but I only see the dark grind so I have to walk the blurred line the nightmare begins from the moment I'm awake the darkness there to throw all I can take The stars are all the light that's left in the sky And I'm left to love the feeling of peace given only when I die. If I could see the stars shine then the whole sky would be mine, but I only see the dark grind so I have to walk the blurred line

Flesh of my blood Ive tried to float in the deep,to avoid the weight of my body The rest sounds obsolete, I live by the creed of sorry The life i now regret,taunts me from the other side On my head you placed a bet and the jackpot is my suicide My friends are all backed up,by guardians with bladed looks I used to smile but now I rot,hanging from these butcher’s hooks I am consumed by my obsessions,I feel labeled I feel sold I abuse of my aggression,I am a killer with a heart of gold You were the flesh of my blood,the blood in my veins, you cut my 2 wrists to cover your stains You were the flesh of my blood,the crown in my reign,you gave me these fists,they drown me in pain I see the child in everyone and every child has his own gun,the gun is made just from his fears,eating those who dare come near Seeing things as they appear,not being forced to make things clear,to listen and not just to hear,to free yourself from all your fears looking at the world,just with my eyes,not with mind mind,not seeing the mistakes,not seeing all the lies To say hello,it’s been a while, n’ not see the hate behind your smile,to be in love and not in lust,turning my heart now into dust... You were the flesh of my blood,the blood in my veins, you cut my 2 wrists to cover your stains You were the flesh of my blood,the crown in my reign,you gave me these fists,they drown me in pain

Sons of Bitches Madre puta madre your womb still turns me on but I reassess that state of mind and realize it's gone showing me the importance of being a righteous man you try to let me down as much as you can No longer sons of man but sons of bitches,love em today tomorrow cover the stitches, go back to their wombs attached with a noose, we're all children of whores with a right to choose mother, mother, mother, do not leave me, don't give birth mother, mother, mother, it's a crime to leave me on this earth cause it takes 1000 to recognise a few and the ones that are left out are always me and you No longer sons of man but sons of bitches,love em today tomorrow cover the stitches, go back to their wombs attached with a noose, we're all children of whores with a right to choose modern society, brings a frightening condition, the search for wealth and the fake ambition plus man sees progress as the shelter he seeks, that's why we've become killers and sexual freaks No longer sons of man but sons of bitches,love em today tomorrow cover the stitches, go back to their wombs attached with a noose, we're all children of whores with a right to choose

Karl Mangi review.

Verdict
When The Nothing Shines Upon has a sense of laying things bare and expressing emotions and thoughts that are shadowy and challenging. Alex Vecchetti’s abilities to write strong lyrics, create musical tapestries and channel his feelings into sound are all quite apparent on this album. I felt drawn in and engaged while I listened which is never a bad sign.
