Our Time 04:55
We prowl the streets tonight, the same old tested path The downward parable, the play we're forced to act But if some doubt still lingers it's to be pushed away Our thirst so easily quenched, but hunger always stays. We're seldom disappointed, our expectations grown so low We feed on imperfections, the others' and our own Cheap thrills, expensive pills, so hyper yet so still We used to hunt for something, now it's just time we kill We used to hunt for something, now it's just time we kill... We chose which race to run Tried to outshine the sun But our lighting didn't strike We didn't see our time had come. We chose which race to run Tried to outshine the sun But our lighting didn't strike We didn't see our time had come. Trapped in a loop, in touch yet unaware So fucked so cool, no feelings we can share.

Your Nature 05:01
Wake up, time to shake up No one else to put the blame on You self-indulgent creep Collecting scars but not one stitch. Stick it out, bend it down You'll only get my frown So many things that you can't see So many lies you drink with greed. It's your nature - you will fail It's your nature - you're too frail It's your nature - pathetic wannabe It's your nature - you'll never get to me It's your nature - you will fail It's your nature - you're too frail It's your nature - pathetic wannabe It's your nature - you'll never get to me Too late for kiss and tell It tolls, but whose bell? You lying cunt you're full of shit The way you laugh makes me so sick. It's your nature - you will fail It's your nature - you're too frail It's your nature - pathetic wannabe It's your nature - you'll never get to me It's your nature - you will fail It's your nature - you're too frail It's your nature - pathetic wannabe It's your nature - you'll never get to me Die hard core true 4 real What you are is what you steal You've only got to learn the part I call it theft while you call it art

I.C.E. 05:25
So cold and menacing, fast moving but still The power of money, the strength of the rich Sealed in electrons, their code is their shield We're climbing the I.C.E. walls, creating our breach. Initial procedure, annihilate command Safer than taxes: our death on demand Horizons impossible, to hide is to dive Escaping their tracers and narrowing the band. The thrill of the hunt, the foaming of mouths The rabid hell watchdogs, the noise of the shouts They're not after you cause you're too far behind Automatic response, too late to get out. Projecting our will in a silent datascape Abstracted in binary, post-human yet ape The physical bond to wires and machines Connecting our souls a void with no shape.

A mindless panic run Your lungs, feel them burn No place is safe to hide Above the ever still dead sky. A mindless panic run Your lungs, feel them burn No place is safe to hide The only watcher the dead sky Holed up in concrete traps We're blind, we're deaf and cracked No place is safe to hide Above the ever still dead sky. Hardwired, no will, no choice No escaping from this life Fighting this fucked up time-line Our mirror: the dead sky.

I’ve got the discipline, I’ve got control I’ve got the guts to take your blows And you won’t see me coming for you Revenge is an art, I play by its rules... The pain I suffered, repaid tenfold Insult, mockery, all the lies I’m told But i can wait, I can restrain The plan unravelling in my brain. And when the time’s right you won’t escape I’ll have no mercy, no soul, just rage And then i'll strike and strike again I will teach you all 'bout pain. This is my revenge Your end, your punishment Too late to repent This is my revenge The art of revenge is an art with an end A pain to deploy a means to destroy. This is my revenge Your end, your punishment Too late to repent This is my revenge

Cracked 04:43
Sustain the tease... Lie on your back... Once you beg me please... Your will is cracked. Lick you lips and strike your pose You're going to get your ultimate dose Forget whips, blindfolds or chains I'm going to drive you insane. Sustain the tease Lie on your back Once you beg me please Your will is cracked. Sustain the tease Lie on your back Revenge is mine Your will is cracked. Another nightmare to go through Resistance's futile don't be a fool Forget your hopes and bow your head You will be mine or you'll be dead. Sustain the tease Lie on your back Once you beg me please Your will is cracked. Sustain the tease Lie on your back Revenge is mine Your will is cracked. This time you’ll pay in kind I’ll right wrongs you deny No place where you can hide This ain’t justice cause i’m not blind.

Waiting 06:11
Another chance gone wasted Another night spent on drugs Somebody's bed to look for Where thinking of you won't hurt. But when my nerves start twitching And my heart drowns the drums I'll look for you in the dark I will be yours alone. Yours alone - hanging on your perfect touch Yours alone - waiting for the beat to stop Yours alone - cursing every time we touched Yours alone - waiting for my heart to stop Let's go drink some friendship mate Let's go pop some confidence pills We'll turn the night inside out You'll see me shoot to kill But when my nerves stop twitching And my heart is drowned in drums I'll look for you in the dark I will be yours alone Yours alone - hanging on your perfect touch Yours alone - waiting for the beat to stop Yours alone - cursing every time we touched Yours alone - waiting for my heart to stop And when my nerves start twitching And my heart drowns the drums I'll look for you in the dark I will be yours alone I will be yours alone I will be yours alone...

Ready2Go 04:13
Another dollar another day Another country we plague with hate We sow the seeds and watch them grow Then blame the soil for this rotten crop. It's not democracy what we export We call freedom a wasted vote This propaganda shoved down our throats Live feed on the world wide web show. One word, just say "no!" One word, we're not ready to go! One word, just say "no!" One word, we're not ready to go! We've got to lift this shroud of lies Expose those pigs, the treachery they hide We've got to wake up, you and I We've got to open our fucking eyes. One word, just say "no!" One word, we're not ready to go! One word, just say "no!" One word, we're not ready to go!

Eklypse 04:41
Let my lips eclipse your smile Let my will lead you all night Let my words bring you to me Let my fear be what you feel. Sharing words and not much else Miles of wires between ourselves This screen staring back at me Pictures of the sweetest of my sins. Let my lips eclipse your smile Let my will lead you all night Let my words bring you to me Let my fear be what you feel. So afraid yet wanting more The doomed buzz of the drone On a leash, try biting my lip I will feel once your soul is stripped. Control, absolute control It's our power struggle, my right is your wrong Tonight we'll start the fire Tonight you'll learn desire. Let my lips eclipse your smile Let my will lead you all night Let my words lead you to me Let my fear be what you feel.

New Self 04:49
Step inside this new self The one you thought would never fit And face the change in your life Admit it's never been a lie And take it all upon you It's time for you to get used to Responsibility and grief The part you thought you would have skipped This boring side of life Your aching troubled doubting mind And never stop to enjoy All your pleasures, sins, you lazy boy. Fight your old compulsion This world shows no compassion For the arty losers like you It only wants you to swallow rules About the thought you should think About the dreams you should dream About the drugs you can't take You're not supposed to make any mistake It knows a thousand ways to smash your feelings away You'll become a nothing like them You're going to die in their hell.

about

3 years after the previous release, "The Art Of Revenge" shows a very different band: Paul left, Marko took on singing duties, and the sound evolved in a much more aggressive direction.

The title track became an instant dancefloor filler, and possibly the most famous XP8 song so far, also thanks to the video done for it (which is bundled with the purchase of the full album here on BandCamp).
