about

Originally taking their sustenance from melodic death/thrash metal roots, New York natives Thracian are a meat grinder of unbound aggression, and have grown over recent years since their Blight demo. Gears has been a long time coming, and the product of this multi-faceted evolution, as well as more than a little hard work and strife, builds upon the themes laid down in Blight. ... more

Track Name: Ephemeral
This heart now beats of loss and rage.
I let my walls come down for you.
I let my guard down for you.
Rage builds up and weighs me down.
My body crippled and constrained.
Under the weight of all this pain.
How could it come to this.
Nothing is what it seems.
All I see is darkness.
The destroyer of my dreams.
Gears are turning, as they grind away our feelings.
Endless shedding of a worn out outer casing.
(Arms outstretched, I reach out)
Fallen victim to a state of fabrication.
Created solely for the purpose of extinction.
(I'm left here, with no hope)
All the moments that slowly pass us by.
To all the countless hours asking why.
Pull back through all the layers underneath.
Reveals a bitter heart that beats beneath.
And now when I lay my head to rest.
I can't escape this punishment.
This hell is my reality.
You are the destroyer of dreams.
No hope.
Track Name: Apparatus
As I hung onto her every word.
Only to be dragged along.
I was never the light in her eyes.
Only a tethered pawn.
I was nothing more than a distant thought.
You were nothing more than a distant heart.
You took all and gave nothing.
All the words which were left unsaid.
To all the heavy silence.
The weight of it all held us down.
But it was you that let us drown.
You dragged us down, a long way down.
And all that we have built.
Caved in and was crashing down.
All that we did...
All that we are...
All that we had...
All that we were...
Was a crash and burn.
We were meant for so much more.
Yet destined to crash and burn.
Track Name: Sea of Monotony
I find myself endlessly wading through these waves of repetition.
I must wait for my heart to beat again. Regret, it holds me back.
This tide grabs a hold of me and drags me down, deeper down.
Further into the depths...
I sink into my thoughts and realize all that I've wasted.
I've fallen further from who I used to be.
As the days grow longer I feel there is less of me.
There is no sense in wasting all my time here.
The answers I've been searching for, have all but disappeared.
All this time, it passed by.
This tide grabs a hold of me, and drags me down, deeper down.
Endless wading as I'm left waiting.
Falling further, drifting farther.
Sinking deeper, growing darker.
Track Name: Between Distance and Decay
All this time passed us by.
As our feelings turned to dust.
And all we had is now lost.
Now just a ghost by my side.
Slowly drifting farther behind.
These are the times when we realize.
As all this time passes us by.
The distance between was our demise.
I let my walls come down for you.
And all you did was lay waste to it all.
What if I could look straight through your eyes…
What if I could look inside your soul…
What if I could look straight through your eyes,
We will never find what we're looking for.
Track Name: Gears
There's no turning back from here.
And with our endless heartache.
We'll burn down all our bridges.
And leave behind our ashes.
Not one memory will remain.
We'll leave it all behind us.
With bitter hearts we carry.
The gears will guide us along.
I'm doing my best to care.
And I'm trying my hardest to give a damn.
I must never speak your name again.
I bite my tongue so I can disguise all the pain.
I must move on. I must let go.
From all of your faults, and all of your games.
To your so called love, of which none remains.
This was our war. (one we should have fought together)
This was our end. (instead of choosing, to only surrender)
I will not waste time and grieve, for what I no longer believe.
These gears guide us, push us along, taking their toll.
These gears grind us, wearing us down, wiping us out.
