Derek Bortz I have never seen another album who's art so perfectly reflects the music within. The melodies and chugs are heavy and aggressive, but I can help feel a pleading tone to look inward and reflect. This is such an emotional album for me, the second half of "Set the Anchor" is profoundly spiritual. Favorite track: Set the Anchor.

Strive for the change A piece of our heart, a piece of hope for those in need Open their graves A piece of our heart, a piece of hope for those in need Now listen up It’s sad to know that we can live our lives In all its beauty and abundance While some never find They keep on searching and wishing for the end To escape the misery they’ve learnt to accept Tell me what it’s like to walk down a crowded street Still having to feel all alone, like everybody’s a potential enemy Alone amongst a thousand, a self-centred generation Is this the direction we’re heading into, just a bunch of narrow minded bastards? Send out your heart to those who had theirs torn so long ago How can we abandon them to their fate? The broken-hearted, hopeless and unloved The epitomes of lives never lived But lives not yet to reach the end The broken hearted may find solace The unloved may find love And truth may come to those desperately seeking We can rot alone when we’re buried six foot deep For now take the walking dead out of their graves With your heart as big as an ocean Lead them back to live Be their guiding light Keep this in the back of your mind You’re privileged to feel alive Now feel alive

This wrath comes up, it’s burning inside Like a fire consuming me But I’ve sparked the flames, spread it through my veins Now I will take consequence Burn the past Step away from the point of no return It’s all I want To show you what has been on my mind Is this the end? I fell, I got up, I start again This story hasn’t faced its end The last page is blank My time is now Is this the end? I fell, I got up, I start again This story hasn’t faced its end I’m gonna keep it alive With all my heart And it goes on and on Every day I slipped into another role But they were just a facade I please to forgive I hope you realize This illusion was not me I need to move on now Not looking back never again never again I need to move on now And leave behind the times of broken trust To anyone who felt let down, to anyone who met with rejection My heavy heart has bottled up all the sadness of the past I’m going to flood it now the ducts are open All my sadness and the smile that I force They will let you know You still got my back My best side comes from you You still got my back I’ve never showed you You still got my back My best side comes from you And after all I will start to show you This is not the end

Waking up every morning without you by my side Looking back on another lonely night This cycle repeats day by day You’re out of my sight Regrets getting harder to carry It’s such a lie to say I could forget you Your pictures are racing through my head Your name lies trapped in my heart I can’t get loose of you Back then it was uncertainty which was tearing me apart Now it’s certainty which is feeding my emptiness Set the anchor in my mind I can’t get you out of my head Set the anchor in my mind Change the course and follow me home I will be there waiting for you How many times did I lie to you by telling I’m fine? Well I’m not so don’t think feelings are fake Teach me to breath teach me to live I need you here to pull me back Back to life again It’s such a lie to say I could forget you Your pictures are racing through my head Your name lies trapped in my heart I can’t get loose of you Back then it was uncertainty which was tearing me apart Now it’s certainty which is feeding my emptiness All these tears screaming your name Won’t let me forget you So let me say these words As long as there is a heart beating your name As long as there is a spark of love left for you I won’t give up on you Don’t give up on me

Weary Hands 01:58
Do you remember this time? You saw the clouds gather and block out the sun The horizon’s wrapped in grey Gone has the glance that it showed yesterday Time passes you by You’re too numb to change and too scared to face the day So you pour another drink tonight to put your mind to sleep And in your dreams you see all that could have been Leaving you wishing for a better day When the sun strikes back through the grey I could tell you a thousand stories of that moment When you look back in time with deep regrets And look ahead through fearful eyes I was in this place several times before Left with a choice between giving up or pushing on But it has always been clear to me I’ll never choose that way out I won’t give misery a spark to ignite Every try to expand will be choked off by hope

Square One 03:41
All what’s left in my mind are regrets Of a time never coming back Are all my beliefs fading to nothing? Or is this what I ever wanted? To start anew past chapters need to close first The feeling you gave me with every touch Now seems so unreal I am who I used to be for the first time in awhile Strength is rebuilding again I gain hope for a new beginning You cut the noose around my neck Saved me from suffocating You showed me what’s really worthy in life Now I learn from past mistakes Desperation you never mislead me again You only weigh me down Desperation you never steal my time again You nailed my feet to the ground Before I could fly to new heights Now I burn every thought of you Scatter the ashes till there are no memories left Don’t get me wrong I am just thankful I’ve let you fall to rise again I am back at square one Now I see it never seemed so clear Finding comfort in myself This is all I ever needed I don’t need anyone This is all I ever wanted I’ve learned to let go That’s what makes me survive

We all suffer from staying on course To live our lives and dreams with no remorse It’s in our hands to give meaning to our lives Something we can hold on ‘til the end of our times These are our beliefs our anchor through every storm These are the pilings on which our every life can grow To stand for what you believe Sometimes means to stand alone But it’s better on your own Than live a live shoved down our throat There’s no such thing as one perfect life Perfection can be found in a thousand of ways If you’re following the signs in your heart You will see the world laying to your feet These are our beliefs our anchor through every storm These are the pilings on which our every life can grow To stand for what you believe Sometimes means to stand alone But it’s better on your own Than live a live shoved down our throat We won’t live a lie So scream these words loud You’ve got the right to choose direction With the compass sitting in your heart With your heart above your head Live life your own perfect way Don’t live a lie

about

Searching for Diamonds Zurich, Switzerland

After the dissolving of eachs band, Josip and Gino united to create a new metalcore band to overpass any other project they have made before. Thanks to the joinings of Patrick, Daniel and Alexander, they found the band completening musicians to express the music which had only been in their minds before.

The union of several musical influences gives Searching for Diamonds its fresh sound.
