Unter dem Namen ATHENA waren die italienischen Prog Power Metaller von 1991 bis 2002 aktiv und haben drei Studioalben herausgebracht. 2019 erfolgte die Wiederaufnahme der Bandtätigkeit und drei Jahre später die Umbenennung mit dem Namenszusatz XIX. Mit Angra Fronter Fabio Lione am Mikro gibt es nun die erste musikalische Duftnote seit über 20 Jahren zu hören: den Track `The Conscience Of Everything´ samt futuristischem Lyricclip.

Die Band über den neuen Song:

„This song deals with humanity in all its iterations, leading listeners through a world filled with complex melodies and deep instropection. This opus is much more of an experience than a mere song and also only the beginning of our common journey. Abandon yourselves!“

Lyrics:

I lived many lives
Our goal is to last forever
And forgiveness is something lost
Through a lot of hate and lies,
A lot of hate and lies.

All the tears I dried,
In this void I’m drowning in.
I’ll make up my mind, to stay on or to die
We’re Islands in time

Disappear in blackness or reborn stronger than I’ve ever been

Just one step to infinity and to leave behind me
The conscience of everything
One last step before it’s done
I stand on the edge of darkness

Anima arida, sordida la mia via

I believe it’s worth to send your soul to burn in fire

Just one step to infinity and to leave behind me
The conscience of everything
One last step before it’s done
I stand on the edge of darkness

Hold her, feel she’s dying in your hands
Nothing feels like dying, nothing feels like dying

Just one step to infinity and to leave behind me
The conscience of everything
One last step and all it’s done
Finally done

Just one step to infinity and to leave behind me
The conscience of everything
One last step and all it’s done
I’m still standing in the darkness
