Can't you hear the sound of thunder? It is coming from the ancient times It echoes through the countless ages Like a message from forgotten past Have you seen lightning split the sky Striking always at the very same shrine Wrath from above, rage from below Foundation of our age has come to an end Lightning will always trample the cross The powers within will seek what's beyond This temple of lies forever will burn Forgotten history will have its revenge at last Hear the gentle song of the wind Hear the oaks silently whisper See the mountains reaching the sky Hear the voice from the beginning of time Lightning will always trample the cross The powers within will seek what's beyond This temple of lies forever will burn Forgotten history will have its revenge at last

How precious is the gift of life With death an sorrow always by our side How enchanting is the gift of mind When misery is all that's left behind Beauty always seems to hide From greedy eyes that always look aside Religion – a spiritual crime Slavery and opression of humankind The Shadow, the Beast or the Devil –In us all Oblivious of essence and emptiness We justify our endless ignorance Vain and selfish, rotten to the core Ask yourself what are we living for? The Shadow, the Beast or the Devil –In us all
3.
A moment of precious silence A moment of peace for your soul A small eternity that you've reached Everlasting serenity that you've achieved Worthless words A reflection of a worthless soul Worthless thoughts A speech has taken its toll Leave me be alone with my thoughts Leave me be within my mind's chamber I don't want any of you near I just want all words to disappear Worthless words A reflection of worthless soul Worthless thoughts A speech has taken its toll

Life it seems so hollow In material world While draining all around you Just to reach your goal Self-centered worship And never-ending greed Surrounded by the pawns Who can give you what you need Deception and greed Desires impossible to feed Your deception and greed How much more do you need? Admiration and respect Imposed, but never gained Seeding fear, seeding hate On those you have constrained Take a look in the mirror Corrupted, evil sight Empty soul and nothingness No form and no might Deception and greed Desires impossible to feed Your deception and greed How much more do you need? And the day will come When you'll realize You're but an empty shell Unable to empathize Mirror never lies And that's what you despise Is there a lesson learned For all the hopes you've burned -No

Price to Pay 05:35
I can't say I don't have any regrets I can't say I had a bad run It felt like a dream most of the time But still it feels somehow unreal Almost like a thousand lifetimes But still short as a spark of the flame It doesn't matter if you're a sinner or saint Always there's a price to pay It seems to me my time has come And I can't say I'm not afraid Remember, you will pay the price For every precious moment lived For every choice you had to take Remember, you will pay the price Now it seems that the price is to high Be forewarned – now it's time to fight Is there a meaning of all this suffering? What if there is nothing left to pay? It seems to me my time has come And I can't say I'm not afraid Remember, you will pay the price For every precious moment lived For every choice you had to take Remember, you will pay the price
6.
Cast away the thoughts Cast away the demons Leave my mind at peace Just for a moment this night It seems like a lifetime Laying in this dreadful silence The eyes had cast away the dream Waiting for daylight to appear Where is the sun? Is it dancing with the stars? Is it hiding behind the clouds? Oh, Take me there Where the sun forever rests Let me sleep in darkness Where the sun descends Where is the sun? Is it dancing with the stars? Is it hiding behind the clouds?
7.
Trying to foresee the outcome Calculating the odds Exploring every possibility Before rolling the dice In your mind, battle rages on And there is nothing you can do Sands of time are not so merciful -Trapped in a future unknown Trapped in a future unknown Dreaming of reality What's the point when future is unknown? If you're dreaming of reality Cannot stop the train of thought That leads into unexplored chaos Filling your mind with doubt Filling your soul with fear Try to tame your thoughts But don't put them in a cage What's the point of this life If you're dreaming only of reality? Trapped in a future unknown Dreaming of reality What's the point when future is unknown? If you're dreaming of reality

about

Elusive God is a Doom Metal band from Croatia expressing creative visions through heavy and atmospheric music. METAL—as they see it—is over the top, mysterious, and layered. It takes much more than superficial listening or consuming to delve deeper into the very message that music conveys.
After their debut EP "The Darkest Flame", Elusive God proudly presents their new release – "Trapped in a Future Unknown". The album offers a more refined approach to the band's vision of doom metal as dark, heavy, and atmospheric genre with strong traditional metal influence. Each song represents the band in a completely distinctive style, arguably creating a signature - Croatian METAL sound.
Finally, for Elusive God, it's all about constantly reconnecting with what matters most – expression, art, and the story it holds.

about

Elusive God Croatia

Fortress of sound equal to the brutal cosmic punch in the face of an ancient disgusting mythological giant awakened from the aeons of eternal sleep by earth-shaking, almost razor-sharp epic riffs. Expression at the very limit of suffering, anger, bitterness and euphoria, intertwined with embodiment of the darkest thoughts from the deepest corners of the soul and consciousness. ... more
