Adrenaline lyrics: He’s stepping in, feels the looks within Heart beats out and skin warms up PRE-CHORUS I try to hold my soul on the road As i go towards my hell I feel the burn and I see the flame Hear voice inside my head CHORUS You got it now and it runs down your spine Right through your bones Every part of you knows It won’t be just tonight You got it now and it runs down your spine Down to your bone Every part of you knows You can’t be satisfied Now fear kicks in, what the hell is going on Brain goes off, ugh Hands won’t move, head tumbles down PRE-CHORUS I try to hold my soul on the road As i go towards my hell I feel the burn and I see the flame Hear voice inside my head CHORUS You got it now and it runs down your spine Right through your bones Every part of you knows It won’t be just tonight You got it now and it runs down your spine Down to your bone Every part of you knows You can’t be satisfied You can’t be satisfied Time has come, all bets are off Every second last forever It can’t be over now... CHORUS You got it now and it runs down your spine Right through your bones Every part of you knows It won’t be just tonight You got it now and it runs down your spine Down to your bone Every part of you knows You can’t be satisfied You can’t be satisfied hahahahahahah

A Prayer In Time lyrics: I close my eyes Hoping for a prayer in time See through these lies The fear of change controls ourselves ‘Cause we’re too small, they say, To make some change They’ll try their lie Just to push us back in line CHORUS Standing at the gates of hell I'm trying to explain myself A prayer in time to save my life Show me just where I fell Standing at the gates of hell Still trying to explain myself Step outta line I’ll take my time Waiting for the devil himself The fires burn in this pyre Surrounding walls come caving in The vacant stare takes on desire A raging war but who will win CHORUS Standing at the gates of hell I'm trying to explain myself A prayer in time to save my life Show me just where I fell Standing at the gates of hell Still trying to explain myself Step outta line I’ll take my time Waiting for the devil himself This is what you want this is what you came for This is what you want this is what you came for This is what you want this is what you came for This is what you want this is what you fucking came for Too simple a mind to be on your own The fear of change won’t leave you alone One last chance to change your role Well well well ha ha ha CHORUS Standing at the gates of hell I'm trying to explain myself A prayer in time to save my life Show me just where I fell Standing at the gates of hell Still trying to explain myself Step outta line I’ll take my time Waiting for the devil himself

Freakshow lyrics: There was never supposed to be so much difference between us It was never meant to push the boundaries of moral & shame I cant stand looking at this kind of state Giving up is not an option, we must take what we can CHORUS It’s showtime bunch of freaks are occupying minds Everyday with the same boring try On TV blinding our eyes Reliving someone else's shame it supposed to be funny Being wise? Pushing us over the line for the money Or else you gonna die Telling us what is what and who is right Who’s gonna be dead and the last to survive (So naturally, we have to ask you a number of questions) Will you sell your story, sell your life (what’s your price) Change everything you are For some bling bling and likes Willing to give more, sell your body parts? Continue like this you'll be sitting on the throne but at what price CHORUS 2 It’s showtime if you don't mind stop looking out the window And give us your mind You'll be fine We'll awash it all away emotional freakshows are totally alright stand in line not giving a fuck, will you ever stop acting like a mind-numbing clown youth's clear heart we're staining their minds Giving the crown to twisted morons running our lives CHORUS 3 It's Freakshow time As soon as you start to realise there’s something wrong in every part of life you'll thrive Rejecting all the bullshit that has been served on our plates For quite some time We gotta rewind From so many mistakes Have we learned anything You gotta stand right, fight for the right To be free to be smart To take back control of our lives

Lost lyrics: Through the thick and fast and the maddening crowd On a never ending trail of saddened cloud I turn to look And with conservative snarls and robotic eyes In search of honesty and envious surprise My head’s held high CHORUS And I wanna be lost with you Only to be found with you With you My heart has to be taken to soar to the sky For love has no boundaries holds no space no time It’s ageless And would I swap this hurt and return the smile Become a name a number on an empty file It’s so easy CHORUS x2 And I wanna be lost with you Only to be found with you With you

So It Begins lyrics: I never burdened anyone I’ve been walking down my own road I’m always fighting against the odds Trying to save some sanity Sometimes It feels so empty Sometimes it’s closer to the end We’ve got to start hearing the cry Otherwise me might be too late PRE-CHORUS We sit in our mind while the world passes by So much you could do but too tired to try I don’t wanna hate I’ve spoken all I will say You’ll not bring me down with my smile I’ll move on CHORUS Open your eyes, see the world burn All truth fades away No room for tears you gotta get up And so it begins Pretend not to see this happening Stand in the dark, just hope for the best In time you’ll be standing all alone My mouth will show you the truth Sometimes it feels so empty Sometimes it’s closer to the end We’ve got to start hearing the cry Otherwise we might be too late PRE-CHORUS We sit in our mind while the world passes by So much you could do but too tired to try I don’t wanna hate I’ve spoken all I will say You’ll not bring me down with my smile I’ll move on CHORUS Open your eyes, see the world burn All truth fades away No room for tears you gotta get up And so it begins You gotta get up... Just get up... Open your eyes Don’t sit in your mind While the world passes by You gotta get up But you’re too tired to try See the world burn, all truth fades away Won’t you get up You’ve got to get up And so it begins And so it begins!!!

The Empty Skies lyrics: A different day, a different freedom fight Another struggle just to see the light Do you believe this world was built on lies All doors closed for you and I Watching every move we make So many nights spent lying awake So we can find a place under the sun Don't close your eyes just realise CHORUS The empty skies are mirrored with an image of dreams passing by You and I born into a world of lies Built up on ruins of deluded minds Haunted by my thoughts my sins As another goddamn day begins Lil' hope that holds my head up straight If i cant hold on yet again I'll break How long will i be left unheard Ma voice silenced by a rising moon The Dark of the night closes in My eyes are wide i realise CHORUS The empty skies are mirrored with an image of dreams passing by You and I born into a world of lies Built up on ruins of deluded minds CHORUS I realise the light still shines Through these empty skies for you and i We'll leave behind this world of lies Built up on ruins of deluded minds

Solitary Soldier lyrics: This unforgiving wind of lies Is streaming through my piercing eyes Don't blame me I'm not the same I won't play this mundane game And I’m not so sure where to go Blinded by this even flow CHORUS I’m a solitary soldier got the wind beneath my wings I’ve been fighting the machine against the weary and the weak Won’t let you down I’ll stick around gonna fight I'm not backing down I'm a solitary soldier You see the strength that lies in me friends I hold are my unity I yield to them that keep me strong we create this path we walk along ‘Cos one thing is I know for sure The candid truth the bitter cure CHORUS I’m a solitary soldier got the wind beneath my wings I've Been fighting the machine against the weary and the weak Won’t let you down I’ll stick around gonna fight I'm not backing down I'm a solitary soldier You better forget the feeling of being alone It’s either that or just stand in the fucking row I've made my choice Now its your turn I am CHORUS I’m a solitary soldier got the wind beneath my wings I've Been fighting the machine against the weary and the weak Won’t let you down I’ll stick around gonna fight I'm not backing down i will never run Gonna take it down take it all apart watch it burn up so i can be free

Wasted Land lyrics: Sometimes it's easier, to look at the stone from underground, while no one's around It felt like i was never born, like i wasn't there, From time to time, I even thought i was trapped inside my mind How long will it take CHORUS The sky that falls over our heads Is the only thing that’s true, that knows every lie we said The sun will chase the clouds away To give us a chance, a reason to stay, On our own in this wasted land It seemed like everyone has been pushed into little screens Without the will to do anything A Bunch of mouths are opening, but there's no sound, Not even a breath, like a forsaken ghost town Will it ever be different CHORUS The rain that falls over our heads Will clean it all away, leaving scars to remind how to feel again The sun will chase the clouds away To give us a chance, a reason to stay With ourselves in this wasted land How long will it take CHORUS The sky that falls over our heads Is the only thing that’s true, that knows every lie we said The sun will chase the clouds away To give us a chance, a reason to stay, On our own in this wasted land

about

“So It Begins” is composed of 8 tracks, most of which were recorded in Studio Blaze, Belgrade. The opening track “Adrenaline” really gets your adrenaline going, with its high octane and powerful introduction. In contrast to “Adrenaline”, the closing track “Wasted Land” provides a beautiful melancholic close to the album. The album has a solid message throughout, regarding moral issues and clear warnings of the dangers of the path that the society is going down. The problems of today are musically introduced by progressive melodic verses, powerful choruses in minor chords, and sharp breakdowns.
Since BaYaT’s debut single “Lost”, their style and genre remains present, yet enriched by some heavier sounds and subtle touches of NU and modern metal. Being the only true ballad on the album, “Lost” is a very unique song, keeping a strong presence with its own magical simplicity. It still carries the same message, although from a totally different point of view.
And whilst each song varies in tone, they all circle back to a familiar theme. “Every song has a lot of emotion and feeling, of which have had an impact on us privately during the making of our debut album, so that was probably our greatest inspiration. Everyday life in 21st century, it ain't easy. But we are focusing more on, that it can be a little easier and comfortable. We all have to start with ourselves and that’s how it all begins. And that is kind of the theme that runs through the whole album.” says Milos Bajat (M8), the lead singer.
