Pandora 05:03
She was the first of her kind The one who would make men blind Given life by god of fire And she would bring on a pyre All gods gave Gifts and traits To this girl She was given the gift of grace and love And mastery over the spoken word A keen eye for the details of the world Curiosity’s named Pandora The gods bestowed upon her A trait that could not be quenched Curiosity inside her would grow And the world would soon know All gods watched While she picked the lock And opened the Box that was never to be opened by her hand The contents spilled across the sea and land Now this world would be turned into a mess Curiosity’s named Pandora

I don’t know what I’m going to do About the monsters in my head. They keep saying I have no clue And that my time is way past due. At night I lay there in my bed With a ringing in my head. These are the noises that they use With which they try to Break me down Break me down Monsters live under your bed At least I think that’s what they said Now I know that’s not for real Cuz inside you is where, they, dwell Scars are an easy way to tell Whether someone’s been through hell. But all scars cannot be seen On the surface of the being. Sometimes the biggest foe you face Gives you scars you cannot trace. Inflicted on your mental state And through this they try to Break you down Break you down Monsters live under your bed At least I think that’s what they said Now I know that’s not for real Cuz inside you is where, they, dwell

The Plague 06:44
These are the times when we see We see what humanity’s made of One is one and one is all so you say We’ll see when humanity falls All it takes is a small push A push over the edge To send a brother spiraling Spiraling in insanity We see but not with open eyes Blind to the things that we despise The plague is here it’s time to rise It is the time to break these These chains of hypocrisy Together we stand and then we fall But not when the time has come The sense of community that we We built comes crashing down And then we’ll see what it all means This sense of communion We see but not with open eyes Blind to the things that we despise The plague is here it’s time to rise

Warmongers 04:39
All you warmongering people out there You will be the destructors of this world You can make it look like you know what’s best For the people that fight under your crest But when the curtain falls down on your life You will see that the fighting was in vain All this hatred that you force on this world It will all be for nothing in the end (FIGHT! TO! YOUR DEATH!) The people will all see through (YOU! WILL! OBEY!) The shit they suffer under you (FIGHT! TO! YOUR DEATH!) Revolution lurks around the bend (YOU! WILL! OBEY!) And all the wounds they will all mend Now that you see the message that we send Will you see to it that the fighting ends Or will you just keep going on this road The road of darkness and decay of life Demons lurk in the corners of your mind This I know but the change you might find When you look deep inside beyond the hate And the anger you harbor that’s so great (FIGHT! TO! YOUR DEATH!) The people will all see through (YOU! WILL! OBEY!) The shit they suffer under you (FIGHT! TO! YOUR DEATH!) Revolution lurks around the bend (YOU! WILL! OBEY!) And all the wounds they will all mend

Dunes of War 07:16
Traveling these desolate lands In awe by the beauty of it all This land that so many Have claimed their own For the sake of power Wars fought for the sake of what? A God that doesn’t seem to give a squat Not knowing if they should or not While their friends are left to rot While a blood red sun Sets on these lands Friend and foe lay down Gun in hand What do they see when they They close their eyes? The peaceful future they want? Sometimes I think about the tales The tales that these dunes could tell About the people who lived before And the blood that’s been spilt on the sands Would the tales be about a search Another search for glory and all of the fame Or would it be just another tale A tale of man’s pointless search for glory? While a blood red sun Sets on these lands Friend and foe lay down Gun in hand What do they see when they They close their eyes? The peaceful future they want?

about

Pithos is a concept album based on the story of Pandora and her box of mysteries and misery.
Full of massive riffs, banging drums and 70's style organs paired with lyrics about the fall of man, war and other plagues.

To quote Distorted Magazine "INSONIKA have created an intriguing, artistic and thought-provoking album. Melancholy is mixed with madness as the band capture the concept of Pandora’s box perfectly. Complex and mysterious, you can vividly imagine these events unfolding in front of your very eyes..."
