This is life, this is fate, look beyond the descent
An atrocious eminence, from your deep unconfessed wishes
Coming out, fight within, further away, show the place
Called by someone else in disguise a pleasure dome
Take my hand, invite me in, dark and cold, laughing face
Disturbed soul, stabbing now, look around, protect the entrance
From the ones, who don’t fit, and don’t want, to embrace
Overcome the offense replicate and get to learn
The harmony of thinking
A truth to be unfolded
A pariah left unknown
We face starvation
A way I’ve never gone
Just give me back - my home
A feeble tide to the other real side of me
A hidden deal, not to be seen
Ruining for good weakened hearts that are vanishing
Easing the pain and making us all
Disconnected, enemies
Bitter inside, feel so sick
They’ll return, quiet down, build a wall, separate
Let the time, remedy the so-called, established system
Rude and far, tough to find, take a leap to the fake
Happy ends, rising now like contrived and aesthetic change
Group of wolves, increase its strength, recreate a cult for all
Albeit, for themselves, shining like real gold
Diving in, tears and loss, get along, poor and weak
Finally I´ve found the only thing that keeps me going - I'm almost sane
The harmony of thinking
A truth to be unfolded
A pariah left unknown
We face starvation
A way I've never gone
Just give me back - my home
A feeble tide to the other real side of me
A hidden deal, not to be seen
Ruining for good weakened hearts that are vanishing
Easing the pain and making us all
Disconnected, enemies
Bitter inside, feel so sick
Disconnected, enemies
Bitter inside, feel so sick

Pentral stands for Spirit in Latin, which indicates the kind of message this band tries to
inspire.
Their music mixes many sorts of global influences and tries to honor Brazilian groove, unique harmonies, atmosphere, and melody.
‘What Lies Ahead of Us’ sums up the years of experimentation throughout such universes and the search for human awareness of the environment, peace, and equality....more
Sharp and melodic heavy metal with a grimy base. It's a simple formula, but these Chicago metalheads have a deep bag of tricks to keep things interesting. gebs
I hate calling anything "straightforward metal" because it belies sharp and varied musicianship, but this album is exactly that. It's heavy, accessible, and very much worth your time. gebs
