About the album
The Abyss is the second full-length album by Ego Divided, a raw and powerful release that solidifies the Melodic Death Metal identity of the band from Palermo, Italy. Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Rock Zone Studio, the 9-track album delivers an intense sonic journey exploring the depths of the human psyche, social critique, and historical memory.
Ranging from existential awareness and inner struggles (R.U.S.T., Empty Ego, From the Abyss) to fierce attacks on vanity, paranoia, and deceit (Reflections, Coward’s Mask, Fury of Hatred), as well as tackling media manipulation (Totally Blind), the parasitic cycles of violence (Infernal Blood Sucker), and contemporary warfare drawn through parallels with Geronimo’s historical tragedy (Lake of Blood), The Abyss seamlessly blends heavy, razor-sharp riffs with complex rhythms and melodic depth.
An album that rejects superficiality and urges the listener to tear away the veil of illusion, staring straight into the depths of our personal and collective abyss.
Lyrics
R.U.S.T. (REPETITIVE UNCONSCIOUS STERILE THOUGHTS)
Finally, it takes so little: you force yourself to stare into infinity, yet all it would take is to focus your gaze on what you have and stop seeing it as empty.
Empty Ego
Born from cosmic nothingness, you were nothing and you will be nothing.
advised you to walk one path rather than another.
You feel empty and you will be, if you don’t find a way to fill your ego, you try to find the path but you have no idea because it has never been shown to you.
finally it takes so little, you force yourself to stare into the infinity, but it would be enough to focus gaze on your shown and not see as empty.
Distract, distract, they want for you is only distraction. Take your eyes off what is useless and with the same materialize your dream.
It has been given to you, it is the divine power, everyone knows about it, you move into your mind
Aaaaaaaah, fight your Ghost and kill your king, you don t think It , but this kill your Dreams.
You hurt yourself, wake up wake up your ego, Don’t stop and continue on the path, look down and you will have a way to fill your ego.
Look inside and Scream, scream to yourself, wake up wake up your ego. Don’t stop and continue on the path, search inside, there is the path and the help you were looking for.
We had the gift, maybe that nothing was not really.
You have tried to fill your life with the wrong things and unfortunately.
It is not easy, it is not at all, they have always shown you the wrong, your experience teacher but distraction is strong.
Your desperate scream has reached beyond the sky, someone has listened to you, your imagination takes you up, realize, learn to listen to yourself.
It has been given to you, it is the divine power.
everyone knows about it, not yet learned, try, insist, try insist .
It has been given to you, it is the divine power, everyone knows about it, you move into your consciousness.
Reflections
Words weigh heavy
Facts are boulders,
Landslides of stones that will
Submerge you forever
Be honest with yourself
There’s no price for true worth
You’ve sold out, sold your body to material power, to the god of money.
You can’t save them, you can’t save yourself anymore
You knew, you knew what awaited you, deep down you knew what you were getting into.
Sheep, in reality, are bloodthirsty wolves
You tried to give your ass to make amends but
It was just a black hole in the water
Violence looms
It comes out sooner or later
You can’t stop it anymore
There are no excuses.
You’ve sold out, sold your body to material power, to the god of money.
You can’t save them, you can’t save yourself anymore
You knew, you knew what awaited you, deep down you knew what you were getting into.
You’re drowning in shit
Image
Fiction
Hypocrisy
All medals have two sides
It’s easy to be a victim
Appearances are often deceiving.
Crying won’t do a damn thing
There’s no going back.
It’s useless to hide now
Your fake laughs have become real tears
Starting from scratch is the only thing you can do.
Mask
Makeup
Bury
What’s disgusting, filthy like shit spewing from the greedy mouths of power, blood, and outward beauty
Words weigh heavy
Facts are boulders,
Landslides of stones that will
Submerge you forever
Be honest with yourself
There’s no price for true worth
You’ve sold out, sold your body to material power, to the god of money.
You can’t save them, you can’t save yourself anymore
You knew, you knew what awaited you, deep down you knew what you were getting into.
Reflections, reflections
Coward's Mask
Challenge yourself
No one wants to hurt you
The only obstacles to overcome are your limits
Have the courage to face your insecurities,
instead of believing that those around you want to be better than you.
What have you got into your head?
No one hates you
Don't play the victim.
Don't get a big head
No one better
No one worse
Just yourself
We are all unique
Don't be afraid to show who you are
Do you want to be an enemy?
You will only be an enemy to yourself
Self-destruction!!!!
Weakness, insecurity, repression
Your illusion makes you think that many envy you.
A certainty in your proud mind
Sooner or later it will shatter
Like a mirror reflecting your grandiose image in your deluded mind, shaped by your fears.
Infernal blood sucker
Reality... I struggle to recognize it.
A rain of blood be controlled.
I look at the past, change the narrator but not the substance.
Blood flows, every war is justified, I don't want to look.
I watch, still and silent, this monster has always existed, it feeds on blood and knowledge and offers no escape.
Many years have passed, many stories and perhaps little truth.
A infernal bloodsucker have you knowledge
The same blood falls violently everywhere and I turn away.
How many souls are still needed? A little breath wasted, everything unjustified repeats itself and gives no way to act.
distorted thoughts and cold places.
I turn away, I see the infernal bloodsucker, has entered into play, watch and turn, watch and turn, will carry it all away.
The obscene presence, the infernal bloodsucker, It's better not to cover yourself, watch and turn, watch and turn, hoping that a wind will carry it all away.
INFERNAL BLOODSUCKER
INFERNAL BLOODSUCKER
I turn away, I see the infernal bloodsucker, has entered into play, watch and turn, watch and turn, will carry it all away.
The obscene presence, the infernal bloodsucker, It's better not to cover yourself, watch and turn, watch and turn, hoping that a wind will carry it all away
I turn away, I see the infernal bloodsucker, has entered into play, watch and turn, watch and turn, will carry it all away.
The obscene presence, the infernal bloodsucker, It's better not to cover yourself, watch and turn, watch and turn, hoping that a wind will carry it all away
Many years of lies, I hope it takes everything away. There's no way to control it. The infernal bloodsucker will consume blood and knowledge.
It's a continuous cycle, everything repeated. You feel as if an infernal bloodsucker controls your mind
I turn away, I see the infernal bloodsucker, has entered into play, watch and turn, watch and turn, will carry it all away.
The obscene presence, the infernal bloodsucker, It's better not to cover yourself, watch and turn, watch and turn, hoping that a wind will carry it all away
Totally blind
Fantasy, in our mind
forced to live totally blind
really distortion,
illusion of a simple life.
Conflicts, structured in detail
ready and willing for the ride,
controlled people,
fate is decided at the table of life.
Lower our cards and decide the game,
before they destroy all freedom
whole peoples in totally blind
seems to be nothing to change
the fate of the world decided by whom
disintegrate their cords before our life.
Lower our cards and decide the game,
before they destroy all freedom
whole peoples in totally blind
seems to be nothing to change
the fate of the world decided by whom
disintegrate their cords before our life.
Disorder, in our part
they are the rich and the poor us
destruction and war
illusion of a perfect life
lo-bo-to-mi-zed, everytime
forced to live totally blind
entity in the dark
hidden but near to each of us.
Lower our cards and decide the game,
before they destroy all freedom
whole peoples in totally blind
seems to be nothing to change
the fate of the world decided by whom
disintegrate their cords before our life
Lower our cards and decide the game,
before they destroy all freedom
whole peoples in totally blind
seems to be nothing to change
the fate of the world decided by whom
disintegrate their cords before our life
Lower our cards and decide the game ourselves
Lower our cards and decide the game ourselves
Lower our cards and decide the game ourselves
Lower our cards and decide the game ourselves
Fury of hatred
I want to throw up because of you
I can’t stand you
You’re worthless
You’re disgusting
You’re good for nothing
Anyone could do better
You make me laugh
You disgust me
You’re irritating
Retire
Kill yourself
I would feel pleasure in seeing you suffer
And seeing you fail
I hate everyone, the world is in ruins, in decay, everyone sucks, I’m surrounded by imbeciles
Brain damaged
I also hate everyone I meet, I prefer to be alone
I can’t stop myself, it’s stronger than me
Don’t be near me
Stay away, don’t come close
If you take away your bad smell
Your aggravating, revolting presence.
Solitude!
Take what you want
Sudden splendor.
Amazement
Now you’re mine
Wonderful
You excite me, you make me vibrate.
Pure and instinctive energy that inspires me and makes me explore my mind.
I need you, I need you all, I love you, I love you all, I can’t live without you, stay close to me, I want to feel your warmth, your touch, your skin. Now you’re mine, I can do with you what I want, you’re my servant, you belong to me, I’ll make you suffer, cry, die…
I Own you!
Lake of blood
I remember that, a deep scar in my memory.
I was not a chief; I was simply a warrior and a shaman.
It was 1858. We went to trade on that cursed day.
A bad omen we felt, but we set no guard in the village.
Now, where our village was, there is a lake of blood,
a slaughter of innocents:
women, children, elders.
Death is in the air,
tearing my mind apart.
Too many years of clashes and battles we lived.
Too tired, we really needed this truce.
Too naively, we settled within our borders,
like lambs surrounded by butchers.
Now, where our village was, there is a lake of blood,
a slaughter of innocents:
women, children, elders.
Death is in the air.
You will bleed as we bled.
Our revenge
will be implacable.
We won't stop until
we have drawn
our last breath.
We will strike
like deadly thunders,
reaping your souls.
Then we'll vanish
like spirits in the wind.
Our revenge
will be implacable.
We won't stop until
we have drawn
our last breath.
No mercy
for you all.
Time will not
fade our thirst
for vengeance.
Captured,
deported,
chained,
exposed,
exploited,
endured...
a legend for them all.
(Solo)
Too much hate and misunderstanding between us.
Different gods felt like blasphemy for both.
The territories you wanted to steal were part of us.
You were like stripping the flesh from our bones.
Now, where our village was, there is a lake of blood,
a slaughter of innocents:
women, children, elders.
Time has told our story.
Who is truly defeated?
Our revenge
will be implacable.
We won't stop until
we have drawn
our last breath.
We will strike
like deadly thunders,
reaping your souls.
Then we'll vanish
like spirits in the wind.
Our revenge
will be implacable.
We won't stop until
we have drawn
our last breath.
From the abyss
I’m awake now,
sharp like a blade,
my inner cuts the illusion,
the veil has been torn
Here only with my self
lost in deepest minds
displaced and overwhelmed
bound by emptiness
unstoppable anguish
my heartbeat like fast shots
of a loaded machine gun
dazed, lost and defeated
Where am I?
When am I?
Who am I?
Why am I?
What did this to me
maybe a little thing
events in my life
that carved my mind
like a little worm
slowly digging a path
straight to the core
feeding me with pain
Where am I?
When am I?
Who am I?
Why am I?
in the abyss
I’m fading
losing myself
into my thoughts
in the abyss
I’m trapped
can’t find the key
to escape from it
Trying to get control
getting a deep breath
shout up my worries
and get some relief
should I return
to the illusion?
but I can’t get back
the veil has been torn
Where am I?
When am I?
Who am I?
Why am I?
in the abyss
I’m fading
losing myself
into my thoughts
in the abyss
I’m trapped
can’t find the key
to escape from it
