It’s not coming back, it’s the final act What heals and builds your soul You shouldn’t be afraid if your heart speeds the pace You should hold on and don’t let go Rush of adrenaline, it falls down on the obvious Stress becomes bigger than the need to breathe Humans are primitive when they’re reacting to stimulus We’re either stronger or weaker We have to slow it down... For a bit and lay still “Stop, drop and roll” Watch the “eclipse” of the sun A fight response while the light fades away Orderly combined... Avoid blackout! We’re only after your character in the “show” You react, fight or flight, it’s your call, you decide It falls down on the obvious It is how you play your role Although we said it was the final act, you still need to breathe... Humans are primitive when they’re reacting to stimulus We’re either stronger or weaker We have to slow it down... For a bit and lay still Your character in the show “Stop, drop and roll” Watch the “eclipse” of the sun A fight response while the light fades away Orderly combined for... So watch the “eclipse” of the sun A flight response while the dark fades away Orderly combined for now. Final thoughts while staring the sun, Where united, it feels we are one (And) if it suddenly turns to a black hole You’re not alone, we’re not alone...

Don’t compromise The answer is unknown On changing chromosomes A decade ago, decaying tools We took it afar, keep taking all, By taking all We’re changing all inside Throw sand into our eyes Apocalyptic sights A decade ago, decaying tools We took it afar, or took it all By taking all We’re changing all inside Naturals will live in denial If we’ve forever changed The holy harmony Sent from hell they’ll naturally die Genrich are the heroes(and) they will stand Growing older, strong and bolder They will strive and rise Although they have compromised The rise of non-genetic altered lives Should we stop while we can or go beyond a step to find a cure Maybe we need someone to help us find and pinpoint the way Seems the more we try the less we do it Ready? We’re not. Should we go now? Let’s take a look around How can we see it’s not a lie Eradicate sickness How can we see it’s not a lie When all the hope is lost Creating difference How could we see was all a lie Would it be our company endlessly Humans may feel divided By the difference it might bring Is it hidden ambition to play God And justified I’ll make you right Should we stop while we can or go beyond a step to find a cure Maybe we need someone to help us find and pinpoint the way Seems the more we try the less we do it Ready? We’re not. Should we go now? Let’s take a look around How can we see it’s not a lie Eradicate sickness How can we see it’s not a lie When all the hope is lost Creating difference How could we see was all a lie And pinpoint the way Ready? We’re not. Should we go now? When all the hope is lost “How can we hurt ourselves?” “How can we hurt ourselves?” “How can we hurt ourselves?”

It’s not really a demand; it’s more like a defense It’s actually starts like a pinch as you forget how to dream Starts with that one mistake, mistakes were made in your defense Another day, another chance is passing by to feel like you’re on top of the world. Day after day, after day, after day, would I realize? Day after day, after day, after day, would I criticize? Day after day, after day So live again, breathe again, get it out loud! Don’t give up on it, day after day, after day, after day… Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow… I can’t seem to breathe while the fire burns, longer takes to react on I got breathe to heal as the life turns… Don’t break down, breathe, breathe, breathe It’s not like I don’t like mistakes, it’s more how they make me feel It may hurt like a sting but, but I’m already in pain. Starts with that mistake, Some kind of chemistry You just need to use or live by, use or live by… Another day...you can make it possible! You will be feeling the king of the world! Day after day, after day, after day, would I realize? Day after day, after day, after day, would I criticize? Day after day, after day So live again, breathe again, get it out loud! Don’t give up on it, day after day, after day, after day… Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow… I can’t seem to breathe while the fire burns, longer takes to react on I got to breathe to heal from this fire burn. Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow… I can’t breathe cause I’m still hurt…No! (It) Finally brings the reaction. As the life turns don’t break down, Breathe, breathe, breathe,breathe There’s always another way out…

Floating over us they came, We were static, we were helpless (and) they heard us. Their music elevates our beings into another state. And through singing, cleansing… It elevates our beings, vibrating energy. You’ll feel lighter, higher (and) lighter as it cleans… The music elevates our beings, vibrating energy. They came clean Their music made us think… “Why the needs? Why the greed) Why?” We’ve underestimated the sounds of the chords they play. Through music our energy flows… It elevates our beings, vibrating energy. You’ll feel lighter, higher (and) lighter as it cleans… The music elevates our beings, vibrating energy. Through music our energy flows… Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna, Krsna, Hare, Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare It elevates our beings, vibrating energy. You’ll feel lighter, higher (and) lighter as it cleans… The music elevates our beings, vibrating energy It elevates our beings, vibrating energy. Going higher… The music elevates our beings, vibrating energy.

What have we done to set this “scheme” in motion? Computer “scam”, massive globalization We can´t forget the need for true emotions. Behind the screens we lose some interaction. We realize (that) we can’t rely on that fake emotion. That’s a fact, that in fact we lost what makes us human. It’s hard to define the balance between both. Social and technological. It’s hard to define the balance between both. Social and technological. We are connected worldwide. Do we always need to be online? Connected we will go further Don’t lose the notion of time, no...you’re tied…your body is all wired. When you lose the ability to move, the machine disconnects your body from your mind. When you lose the ability to choose, you become automatic, always synchronized. Somebody is planning a menace to come. Beeps like a repetitive sound You’re losing all of your body strength, seems like the answer is (to) go back, to humanize. Repress the loops and mechanical acts. Connected…always disconnected from all. All the muscles are gone in your skeleton. Can you see now that you’re a “Skeletron”? You’re so out of blood, you can’t even bleed. What have we done to set this “scheme” in motion? Is it hard to realize that those are fake emotions? It’s hard to define the balance between both. Social and technological. It’s hard to define the balance between both. Social and technological. Some values in life are pure It’s our job to assure they remain the same We can’t afford to change, still our job to assure, That no machine gets in the way, A wake up call… Nothing else gets in the way. Beeps like a repetitive sound, a wakeup call. Beeps like a repetitive sound, wake up… When you lose the ability to move, the machine disconnects your body from your mind. When you lose the ability to choose, you become automatic, always synchronized. Repress the loops and mechanical acts. When you lose the ability to move, the machine disconnects your body from your mind. Repress the loops and mechanical acts. Beeps like a repetitive sound; this is a wakeup call… Beeps like a repetitive sound, no matter what we say… Repress the loops and mechanical acts. No matter what we say, you choose. You have to choose!

My clearest thoughts will purify me I use them to heal My clearest thoughts will purify me So find it in yourself to cross the line your lost awareness is brought to light These same thoughts that clarify me Is this your soul? We’ll let you know The spirit falls so don’t let it inside Your energy’s low The ego won’t glow But your soul will always be higher Is this the source of cure We’ll let you know It gets over Way over Beyond human control Way over Hand over Above dna control The sun’s gone (but) the moon glows It will be here until it ends Cause you know It’s dark to walk without a guide We stand by each other Light reflects what the inside can cure Life sometimes unwinds Rewinds And sets you free For how long? We stand by each other Beliefs and energy imprinted in your genes And now you know So we can fight each other That’s the day There’ll be another Enemy, The other in me, In a never ending fall Into a hole Alone So find it now, yeah Digging deep you never noticed how Digging deep you never noticed how. Another day goes by so walk towards the light. The sun’s gone (but) the moon glows It will be here until it ends Cause you know It’s dark to walk without a guide We stand by each other Light reflects what the inside can cure In life sometimes we wonder Moving mountains Can help you turn For how long? You can choose to fight it now or you can keep on digging down So who will you fight for today And for how long?

It´s an effort for what it’s worth It has been accompanying your soul through time So deserving to be explored It´s a journey with no return Break free from all So deep in the soul… Becomes my own! And it goes, it finally goes We’re set up, we set off, we’re set up So close your eyes, it flows inside You still don’t know (It’s) the last time for the give up Now you know It breaks through all that’s physical! So close your eyes, (put) your doubts aside, so here we go Leading us to a... Journey to the centre of you You’ll find the answers you need Slowly fills (the) empty hollow! These fluids are spreading, invading my cells. It´s a digital mind u-turn What troubled you all those years, outside your thinking, makes no sense now. It´s a 360 degree turn Returns to the starting point, the day you’re seizing, you will find it somehow. Wake up if you are living a lie. Wake up if you are living a lie. You´re dazzled with yourself. Change occurs while waiting The body revolts on its host Change occurs while waiting You think we shook the truth, but you have never listened (to it) Shooting stars to sadden moon, poisoned by a dark lagoon You didn’t know We think you should review, how you have never listened Blindfolded, covered eyes, fulfil with a smile, deliverance Leading us to... A journey to the centre of you The fluids are spreading Slowly it flows inside

He had a dream and hit the road Although no one really thought he could do it Along the way a tree has spoken it was like poetry the best he had ever heard Maybe you’ll reap what you sow Just meditate on it before you go Follow this road across ten moons You will find a lever on that day So turn it around A sign will let you know you’re there That made him realize it was time to move ahead couldn’t wait any longer to proceed his quest It was meant to be Black spells and curses are haunting you It counters the spells as they hit you Stronger as you learn with the plot Plod on A sign was pointing ahead but there was nowhere to go He was standing on the edge and he felt unsure Forget the dream and comeback home jump of that ledge to fly above Lift off (It) Takes a stronger man to pursuit a dream Then the arms turned into wings He proved he was strong He was rewarded Devotion Along the way, you’ll find some cliffs and if doubt appears, be strong Pursuit your dream to go across Jump of the ledge to fly above

When you’re laughing the most amazing smile comes to life but you hide it under a disguise and fades… Do you smile? On the outside you seem to wear a tie choking all the laughs inside don’t you want to smile? Loosen up the tie until you don’t need it to smile Let your inner smile show Is your smile, When you walk down your street, an “homeless” on the curbside? Is it hard? When you walk down your street, To raise an arm and help a poor? Complicated? One excuse left Complicated, because the world is so cold. Will you try? Or let the sadness in once more Is it hard? To raise an arm and help a poor? Complicated? One excuse left Complicated. Do you smile? On the outside you seem to wear a tie choking all the laughs inside Don’t you want to smile? Loosen up the tie until you Don’t need it to smile choking all the laughs inside. Don’t you want to smile? Loosen up the tie until you Don’t need it to smile Let your inner smile show! You are smiling! You are smiling again.

Put aside all those ideals and beliefs, be objective. Feels like, a mental break down, you’re on the verge, you’re the vessel receptor He’s so sad, (the) tears in the eyes, mirrors inside all his past. His limitations last It seems the kid has to die on his bed… It’s unfair…well… No… Sad, prejudice (and) labels will affect Don’t give it up so fast. But it’s like a clot blocking blood to the head. Enough I swear! Feels like your, shelter is underneath your own demands. Enough I swear… My hope decreases as the waiting swells. Wouldn’t (It) be better if you listen?! Wouldn’t (It) be worst if you just ignored?! We won’t give up, don’t give it up yet…find hope… Donate! You’re giving birth, a new start, a new tunica intima. Don’t! You deify, this cause revoked, the chance of helping elopes. Donate! “Self sacrifice” for (the) newborns; a new tunica intima. Don’t! The dead body is impure, the chance of helping elopes. We guess you’ve been missing a lot, a vessel receptor awaits. Someone dies, donator, or one more corpse in the morgue. No transplant for no one! (Die!) No! Makes you wonder who’d listen to you. I don’t want to feel so concerned Maybe I just want to be like you And it feels like a mental breakdown I’m on the verge and I’m not sure. Such hate should be lurked to move onwards. Born to life! Born alight! I value life; I live it with full intensity, although in health I’m limited It doesn’t stop me, I’ll fight! I value life; I live it with full intensity… It doesn’t stop me, I’ll fight! Implicated in my everyday life… (Alive) I am.

Stalling where she lived and perished Careless was the cause (That) gave birth to this loss Always there Regret forever (ever) Hunts the animal You’re forever missed Step on the train at last You can make it Every single minute we lose Is for the reason we choose Wound that won’t heal Womb she was supposed to give It’s on now Not oblivious It’s all gone Not oblivious Struggling through to find myself As far as we were meant to know It’s now a fact It’s not over, not close As far as we were meant to know It’s not a fact That it’s over, no sir Comply Come on in, get old There’s no menace we won’t oppose Come on in, get old So go get it and you will find It’s on now, not oblivious Struggling through to find myself Not oblivious Runaway I felt with you Runaway I felt with you It’s not easy to survive alone Not easy to survive It seems all so obvious Makes me divided Turning around and around See the hole you found Bring me closer Is this Heaven? Sketches, everlasting memos I still remember you, remember you We’ll always have Paris We all get sad But we are all reborn from hope

You had it all, it´s true and I understand You based your life on ignorance and that´s ok I was ok But you never took the time to See and deliberate That you were not ok You just couldn´t realize Couldn´t wait to feel good It appeared as a surprise I was so sure That my vitals were stable It´s hunting you, you´re the prey on the way to the slaughter house My concern with health was none It´s like white on rice Now you see That you are dying Your body is getting cold You could have done (so) much more Can´t you see That’s what you are An injured animal You´re not that sure Now you are not that sure I have neglected my own being It led me straight into this bed All is in a tunnel vision I have become my enemy Living is complicated And it may seem unfair You´re living what you´ve created You had it all it´s true And I understand You thought your life had balance, (it) was unstable Now I´m so sure My concern with health was none Now you see That you are dying Your body is getting cold I wonder how different this could have been Can´t you see That’s what you are An injured animal You´re not that sure Now you are not that sure You are not that sure You’re not that sure I have neglected my own being It led me straight into this bed All is in tunnel vision I have become my enemy My body forced me into my knees Can´t find the strength to disagree I´m trapped in my own prison I have become my enemy Living is complicated And it may seem unfair You´re living what you´ve created So have a nice death Would you do it all again? So have a nice death So have a nice death Come into the light It´s getting brighter in the thickness of the night It´s so easy to fall into despair You should have known Like you don´t know Nobody said It was hard to let go What was unknown It will unfold You should just let go You can´t forget you still have your soul You still have your soul It unfolds Just celebrate It´s what you´re meant to A miracle could help you return (But) there´s no miracle

about

After a long hiatus focusing on composing and doing studio work, the time arrives to promote and present to the public Hiata´s latest work, it´s debut album "Vessel Receptor", sucessor to the "Poisoned Waters Re-Issue" Ep (2009),an Ep that reached national and international airing on channels such as VH1 or MTV. It did so through the video for the title track, "Poisoned Waters", directed and animated by portuguese artist João Rubim, based off of the United Kingdom. With this hand-drawn animated video Hiata got the privilege of being pre-nominated for an MTV EMA award for Best Portuguese Act 2010.

The new album "Vessel Receptor" was written and recorded by the band. It´s influences come from the 70´s, 80´s and 90´s music, influenced by genres such as rock, grunge, metal, pop, blues, among others. The "rock" sound created in the process mixes analog instrumentation with modern tecnologies and sounds. It mixes emotional ambiguities, both beauty and creation, and unsettlement and destruction. Entirelly sung in English, based on the band´s own influences in songwriting, it is an assumed aesthetic, passing up on both native language and traditional instrumentation.

The album´s theme concept describes a journey through the human body, analyzing it´s transformation through the music we create. Human body phenomenae are also lyrically compared to every-day life and experience.
