REVOLUTION CALLING The life you choose of living Can only bring suffering Crucial decision you make Result in a life you take The masquerade you are playing Equals all the lies you are telling On our domain you will try to bargain What’s rightfully ours The anger grows slowly Power to the people Revolution calling Come faithful Out on the streets Call for justice (Chorus) We’re not afraid to die You’re going down with us All you say is just a lie Never to regain our trust Revolution calling I’ve got no love for politicians And their speech for the nation Democracy, hypocrisy are the same Actions in God’s name If you watch television You’ll see crazy things going on Conflicts on the rights of religion As well as crimes of derision The anger grows slowly Power to the people Revolution calling Come faithful Out on the streets Call for justice (Chorus) X2

Lies 04:05
LIES Spreading lies through good intention Destroying lives with one decision Tragedies could have been avoided Apologies are not what’s needed The system has failed… We are all pawns in their game… We’re all equal in the face of Justice But we don’t come to Justice as equals Defending our rights is a prejudice When we can’t have fair trials We’re all slaves of the hour And our soul is not even our The system is eating us alive The machine is greater than a hive (Chorus) Lies, surrounded by the lies Only getting more… Lies, crumbling under the lies Dying under They always ask to play our part But our pockets they tear apart Never involved in the process About us, they couldn’t care less Rise against the system… No more pawns’ of their foolish game… The watchful eye is right upon you Even in the comfort of your own home Archiving everything that you do Wherever you may roam Not even ashamed of what they’ve done wrong So hypnotised by their forked tongue Not even hiding under the spotlight So why don’t we stand up and fight (Chorus)

RISE OF REBELLION Poor peasants assemble Gather what you have Give it up for freedom Our lands are at stake The war machines are hungry Feed them with your sweat The elite know what’s best Towers will fall And crowns will roll A day will arrive Where the air will be filled With red mist of redemption Take ‘em Strike ‘em Beat ‘em Bleed ‘em (Chorus) The sound of silence came back to appease us We firmly take hold of our power The tide has finally turn Spread out across the nations Peace is wearing thin The Kingdom is on edge Let them bear the burden They will not complain The laws of silence rule Empires smitten to the ground And kings will kneel The day has arrived And the streets will be filled With swift fists of rebellion Take em Strike ‘em Beat ‘em Bleed ‘em (Chorus) They took our pride They stole our lives Don’t stand on our path Or you will feel our wrath (Chorus)

IN VIA VERITATEM (In Search of Truth) I. DENIAL - Shock! - It can’t be real How can I feel? It’s just surreal - Disbelief - You’re telling lies You want my demise Your name I despise - Overwhelming – It doesn’t make sense It’s way too intense There’s no common-sense (Chorus) Denial, refuting the facts We see through your acts Denial, trying to be strong We can’t say you’re wrong - Meaningless – My world is crumbling My mind is mumbling The walls are tumbling - Grief – There is too much pain I’m tied with this chain Am I living in vain? - Numbness – Can I bear the weight? Can I live in that state? Am I losing faith? (Chorus) - Reality – Questions arise Is it really wise? To let go the cries (Chorus) X2 II. ANGER You were lost and I found you You were without a path And I gave you one Others are living in fear Gave you the anchor, The frame you needed I was the bridge connecting you to the world I gave you something to hold on to when all was lost I am an endless tide of pure emotion With me, you had no limits It was my way to let go the pressure I was your only friend that remained When all the others couldn’t understand I was the reason You went through a day I was the one who made you feel alive When all else failed I justified your every moves The more they saw me, The more they understood how you loved I gave you back everything You owe me And you belong to me How dare you let me go! III. BARGAINNING What if it could be different? If only I had the chance It seems so incoherent Can I change the circumstance? What if I could do something? If only I could have been there I would have done anything You don’t know how much I care (Chorus) Negotiating with what can be dealt with Bargaining with the Lord of Heaven Or dealing with the forces of Hell Trading anything to avoid the pain What if I could change my way If only you could understand Please don’t let it go away Listen to what I demand What if I gave you my word? If only I could have the time Will all my prayers be heard? Tell me what was my crime? (Chorus) Negotiating, bargaining, dealing, trading (x4) IV. DEPRESSION The loss is slowly setting in Emptiness is your surroundings Leaving space outside and within Sadness is now the center of things Daily carrying the burden Mourning the past in the present The future seems quite uncertain You crumble under life’s torment (Chorus) Why is there a need to go on? Is there a point to carry on? Grief takes its toll on everyone But someday it will all be gone The time has finally come To give in and to feel the pain Now we must see the outcome To find out what will remain Willingly face all your fears You now stop running away Accepting the grief and the tears Finding the truth your own way (Chorus) V. ACCEPTANCE You will never be all right And you will never lose sight Of these tragic events That don’t make any sense Accept the new reality Accept this whole tragedy Learn to live with it But please don’t quit (Chorus) The past won’t hold together The present is coming after Accepting all these changes Building whole new bridges Life is getting back to normal It’s far from a betrayal Everything is starting anew You must now continue (Chorus) It’s time to Listen to your needs To move forward To change To grow To evolve To reach out to others (Chorus) X2 Now is the moment to start living again But not until you have given grief its time Little by little

We are Blind 03:39
WE ARE BLIND We are here on our own Nothing of what they’ve shown Today’s worse than the last Lies are growing so fast Their master plan is doing fine Won’t leave any of our kind Another sheep to sacrifice In the name of every vice (Chorus) We are mere offerings to their mighty Gods Enslaving the minds of their own kind Conspiracy of silence, controlled by their words Our lips are closely sealed and we are blind On screen image selling lust To eyes too young, to stop it must On screen words selling faith But we now know that it’s too late Millions’ faith ordered by few Won’t tolerate a different view Oppress the poor and majority Laws control but set them free (Chorus) X2

THANKS TO:

Vince would like to thank:

God. Vince would like to thank God, the only one he judges being his equal. Lesser beings like his band mates do not really matter. He wouldn't be thankful at all but he's got to fill this blank slate so he will speak as a third person and thank only God...for creating himself of course. Oh yeah! And his own skull for not rupturing under the expansion of his head!

Étienne would like to thank:

Sandy, my wife, and all my children for being supportive of this project. Vince Mercier for always believing in the project and taking everything I threw at him! Martin Bersier-Carpentier for keeping his spirit while I was criticising every mix he gave me! Nicolas Martel for joining in and giving his nice pieces of drumming! Rémi Ouellette for his technical support and Jérôme Parent for allowing us to practice at his place! Finally, Michel Stiakakis for his pearls of wisdom on the music industry and his feedback on the album.

All the selected people who did the first listening of the album, because their opinion mean something to me: Robert Dansereau, Érik Flynn, Paul Gaudet, Jean-François Laferté, Jean-François Quessy, Jocelyn Lafond, Rémi Ouellet, Carla Ricardo, Martinho Torres and Daniel Vachon.

Thanks to everybody else who believed I could do it someday!

Martin would like to thank:

The members of the band for their time and efforts spent in the making of the album, Andrea Savard for the freedom of doing his music and friends and family for their support!

Nicolas would like to thank:

My family and my roommates who endured the drum practices for many years before turning it into an album. Special thanks to my father who supported me when I purchased my first drum kit and my godfather for transmitting to me music in my blood! Martin who is the musician with whom I mostly grown since I started drumming. Étienne and Vince for recruiting me in the band. Jerome Parent who give us the chance to practice in his home. Finally, thanks to all of you who believe in our project. We need you to continue growing in numbers!

A SPECIAL THANKS TO: Érik Flynn from RadioQuebec.biz who gives us the chance to be heard all over the world in the great metal family!

*Without Fate members use exclusively their own material! No sponsors!

In memory of my friends Cristian Langevin (46), who left us before playing some keyboards on the album and Céline Bellemare (30), who simply loved life and music. Both of you will be dearly missed and yes, they left us too soon.

All those styles together makes an eclectic mix that they are able to fit together because they thrive to better themselves and are very opened to ideas. There's no real ego restraining their creative freedom.
