Verse1: Your story it was taken They took it from you Fed you lies and slander Instead of what was true Chorus: (2x) It’s time to take a stand It’s time to take command It’s now or never to Reclaim your story When you shed doubt and fear Ignore the lies you hear Rise up, heed the call and You’ll be bound for glory Verse2: Falsehood, fake and fiction Wool over your eyes Stand up and choose the option To reject their lies Chorus: (2x) It’s time to take a stand It’s time to take command It’s now or never to Reclaim your story When you shed doubt and fear Ignore the lies you hear Rise up, heed the call and You’ll be bound for glory (Solo) Verse3: Breaking through suppression Conditioning and lies Free yourself from shackles And open up your eyes Chorus: (2x) It’s time to take a stand It’s time to take command It’s now or never to Reclaim your story When you shed doubt and fear Ignore the lies you hear Rise up, heed the call and You’ll be bound for glory Verse4: Go on claim that story Only you can write Reclaim that which will lead you From the dark into the light Chorus: Keep what they took from you And you will make it through It’s now or never to Reclaim your story Wipe out deceit and smear Show past and future clear Rise up, heed the call and You’ll be bound for glory Keep what they took from you And you will make it through It’s now or never to Reclaim your story Wipe out deceit and smear Show past and future clear Rise up, heed the call and Reclaim your story

Chorus1: Phoenix rising – from the ash reborn Hives buzzing with the sound of hearts being torn In fields – underneath a sun so warm From ash with fiery wings – we are the Swarm! Ascension to the sky in our phoenix form Bring the resurrection with a firestorm From ash with fiery wings – we are reborn From ash with fiery wings – we are the Swarm! Verse1: All in one – flame forever One in all – shining bright Swarm and light – no chains, no tether Flame will rise – and end the night Verse2: Feel the heat – see the glow All the pain – left behind One heart, one beat – one mind to know Joint as one – force combined Verse3: Away with lies – cut and sever Bonds and ties – past undone End of night – shine forever New dawn’s light – with us the sun Finale: Phoenix rising – burning flame Force unleashed you cannot tame The swarm has come to end the night Phoenix rising – burning bright

Verse1: So many words, so little sense Nothing there to make amends Time has passed, the years just went And I regret the time I spent Should have noticed from the start Before I let you in my heart Was just the means, never the end Wasted time’s all I lament Chorus: I don’t know you anymore Nothing left, I kept the score What did I do it all for? [1:] I don’t know you anymore [2:] I just don’t know it anymore Verse2: So many faces, which was real? More and more layers to peel And you played your chosen part A mirage snuck in my heart Your borrowed words just made me blue Both old and new were never true Eternal love to keep and hold And all my trust was bought and sold Chorus: I don’t know you anymore Nothing left, I kept the score What did I do it all for? [1:] I don’t know you anymore [2:] I just don’t know it anymore Verse3: No nostalgia for the past Why in the world did this one last I broke all ties, left you behind Just leave me be, just don’t you mind If you would pass me just by chance You wouldn’t get more than a glance In retrospect with open eyes Was just a fool, in love with lies

White Blossoms Wide with anticipation Swelling drone of bees. In the humid dawn Fleecy clouds move slowly by April's crescent moon. Suddenly mountains Appearing, disappearing Lightning silhouettes. Circles expanding One ring into another Puddles in the rain. In the spring twilight All that remains this day The nightingale song This morning at dawn A joyful promise of Spring Canada Geese honking. A windy Spring day. Small sailboats in the distance Bobbing on the waves. In the late Spring night, A brainless dog barking At its own echo. White Blossoms Wide with anticipation Swelling drone of bees.

Verse1: Im Traum sind wir uns nah Sind ganz alleine dort Die Nacht umschlingt uns beide Trägt uns auf Schwingen fort Wir treiben in dem Dunkel Und strahlen selbst mit Licht Dein Glitzern zieht mich zu dir Wie’s durch die Schwärze bricht Bridge: In deinem Traum Will ich bei dir sein In meinem Traum Nur mit dir allein Chorus: All the dreams I have of you Every night they pull me through Never mind the dark and cold The night is black and always old Aeons deep but I always find You in the dark and in my mind And before I never knew Our dreams were made for two Verse2: Was immer dort auch lauert Ich reiß dich aus den Fängen Schloss und Riegel brechen Und alle Ketten sprengen Ich werd‘ von dir nicht weichen Nicht du von meiner Seit‘ Selbst im Reich der Nyx Zur Trennung nicht bereit Bridge: In deinem Traum Will ich bei dir sein In meinem Traum Nur mit dir allein Chorus: All the dreams I have of you Every night this bond holds true Never mind all talons and claws I will snatch you from those jaws Whatever terror these shadows hold I’ll be the shield that you unfold And before you never knew Our dreams were made for two Verse3: Wir greifen uns’re Hände Halten einander fest Bis das Licht des Morgens Uns aus dem Traum entlässt Zwei haben sich gefunden Vorher war nur Schaum Zwei in der Nacht entschwunden Zusammen selbst im Traum Bridge: In deinem Traum Will ich bei dir sein In meinem Traum Nur mit dir allein Chorus: All the dreams I have of you Every night I feel anew What is right and what will last We’re holding on and holding fast Through the dark, till dawn breaks The thought of you is all it takes And before you never knew Our dreams were made for two And before I never knew That my world was so askew All the dreams I have of you Our dreams are made for two

My Hate 04:27
Verse1: Just how it feels – you will never know Keeps me upright – my insides aglow Always there – right from the start This pounding – totally off the chart From an early age – I felt a burn Fuse always lit – never my concern Always with full force – both love and hate And now openly – I will tell you straight Chorus: My hate makes your hate look like love My hate clenches the fist in the glove My hate came through conflict and strife My hate gives me fuel for my life My hate (2x) Verse2: Two sides of a coin – both to embrace Love cannot win – trump or replace Hate will always be – deep in my heart Right next to love – each plays its part Never will back down – or apologize For reveling – in my foes’ demise Fiery hate – lets me destroy To see them burn – fills my heart with joy Chorus: My hate makes your hate look like love My hate clenches the fist in the glove My hate came through conflict and strife My hate gives me fuel for my life My hate (2x) Break: Die in fire – crash and burn Fully earned at every turn Plague and cancer for you now You deserve it anyhow Hate is true and hate is real Sweet as honey – hard as steel Hate is black and dark as night And I hate you with delight Chorus: My hate makes your hate look like love My hate clenches the fist in the glove My hate came through conflict and strife My hate gives me fuel for my life My hate (2x) My hate has sustained me in fights My hate drove me to new heights My hate is authentic and pure My hate gives me strength to endure My hate (2x)

Empty Earth 04:21
Verse1: Stay away Leave me alone I do not need Want to be on my own I want you gone Out of my way Gone for good Your bodies decay Chorus: I’m longing for an empty earth No need for anyone’s rebirth I’m longing for an empty earth They are more trouble than they are worth Verse2: Wipe them all out Don’t let them stay Plague, war and famine Sweep them away Apocalypse The end of all My sweetest dream I welcome their fall Chorus: I’m longing for an empty earth No need for anyone’s rebirth I’m longing for an empty earth They are more trouble than they are worth

Prepare 04:06
Black notes Ring through your mind Black words For feelings left behind Prepare for the coming of the Swarm Honey-sounds Every chord and bar Honey-beats Coming from afar Dark thoughts Held without regret Dark visions Form inside your head Prepare for the coming of the Swarm Sweet release From pain and misery Sweet surrender To our victory

Verse1: You opened the door Not like before You should have known what they had in store Never this way A world led astray You broke down the walls that held them at bay Bridge1: Watch your back Keep out of sight Cut them some slack Stay home at night Chorus: They hold the knife! They hold the knife! You’d better run or they will end your life. They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Descent into chaos, friction and strife They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! Verse2: You tried to ignore What reached your shore You did not heed the warning of war It’s not a game They try to claim Still you don’t see that they all are the same Bridge2: Keep your distance One arm’s length Shun resistance Don’t show strength Chorus: They hold the knife! They hold the knife! You’d better run or they will end your life. They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Descent into chaos, friction and strife They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! Break: Losing ground and losing lives To clubs and boots and fists and knives Losing you – losing it all Still not admitting our fall Chorus: They hold the knife! They hold the knife! You’d better run or they will end your life. They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Descent into chaos, friction and strife They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! They hold the knife! They hold the knife! More flooded in and threats became rife They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Go hide your daughter, your mother and wife They hold the knife! They hold the knife! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive! Primary Mission – the goal is: Survive!

Die Zeit schwirrt Die Zeit rennt Die Zeit steht Die Zeit kennt… Kein Erbarmen Kein Verzeih‘n Kein Mitgefühl Für uns’re Pein Die Zeit rast Die Zeit vergeht Die Zeit drückt Und verweht… Uns‘re Spuren Unser Leid Doch unser Leben Bringt uns nicht weit Es bleibt nur Flucht Aus uns’rer Haut Denn darin klingt Und tönt es laut Der Himmel fällt!

Death 05:50
Death! that struck when I was most confiding. In my certain faith of joy to be— Strike again, Time’s withered branch dividing From the fresh root of Eternity! Leaves, upon Time’s branch, were growing brightly, Full of sap, and full of silver dew; Birds beneath its shelter gathered nightly; Daily round its flowers the wild bees flew. Sorrow passed, and plucked the golden blossom; Guilt stripped off the foliage in its pride But, within its parent’s kindly bosom, Flowed forever Life’s restoring tide. Little mourned I for the parted gladness, For the vacant nest and silent song— Hope was there, and laughed me out of sadness; Whispering, “Winter will not linger long!” And, behold! with tenfold increase blessing, Spring adorned the beauty-burdened spray; Wind and rain and fervent heat, caressing, Lavished glory on that second May! High it rose—no winged grief could sweep it; Sin was scared to distance with its shine; Love, and its own life, had power to keep it From all wrong—from every blight but thine! Cruel Death! The young leaves droop and languish; Evening’s gentle air may still restore— No! the morning sunshine mocks my anguish- Time, for me, must never blossom more! Strike it down, that other boughs may flourish Where that perished sapling used to be; Thus, at least, its moldering corpse will nourish That from which it sprung—Eternity.

The new 16 track album “The Phoenix-Swarm” covers a number of styles, ranging from dark electro/EBM and minimal electro to martial neoclassic, from industrial to melodic darkwave, from piano ballads to gothic rock and dark ambient.

The project’s regular musicians and vocalists were joined for recordings by a number of well-known artists. The guests on “The Phoenix-Swarm” are electronic music icon TOMMI STUMPFF of STUMPFF, ROBERT N. TAYLOR of CHANGES, SATHORYS ELENORTH of DER BLAUE REITER, KRYS. KOSEDA of EXTREME CHROMO and JURICA JELIĆ.

The CD also includes two remixes by INSECT PLASMA and DARKNESS ON DEMAND (formerly DANCE OR DIE, also WINTERHART) and was mastered by FALGALAS of DARKNESS ON DEMAND.

The album comes with a beautifully designed 8-page booklet in a clear tray case. It is the follow-up to the widely recognized albums HONEY & ASH (Steinklang Industries, 2011), FROM THE ASHES (Indiestate Distribution, 2015) and HONEY-BEAT (Caustic Records, 2016).
