NEMEA 18:24
Pretend // That is all I have left Prepare // For this first achievement Preserve // The humanity inside Predict // My deity's theft And prevail // From the evil in movement Prefer // Die in this war than hide The rage in my veins // Will be all that remains Looking for an answer // Any from my father My internal war // Never known truce so far Collect all the pieces // Before evil increases You summoned me // In your life of beauty And I come in grief // You're the key to my relief I’ll be redeemed // From my sins and my fiends You won’t be deceived // And you will forgive He forced us // To quench his thirst We'll remain enslaved // Until the last drop has spilled He slayed us // Much more than he must We'll remain his preys // If the people obeys This new king // Who proclaimed himself I must dethrone him // I must destroy him Believers die // And I'm here waiting Until the last time // To give up everything Believers die // Always praying Gave their whole life // To end without anything The time is now // My turn has come And I still don't know why // I must offer my own son The end is near // On his kingdom I will spit I must face my fears // I won't be a part of it The others hide // And I'm here standing Until the last time // I'll never stop fighting The stranger smiles // And I'm here thinking He might be the one // Who will finish everything Take the lion away // Chase him night and day Make him beg make him pay // This is our land We're meant to stay We are // Focused on the fires // And the darkness will not retire Nemea // Needs a messiah // There is no king only lies And yet I smile // The hero will soon // face the animal Don't look behind // You're stronger than us // combined And you will make fall // Submerge him in the shadow The rain // Storm of millions arrows Nothing // Will weak his vanity // But you'll have to try Entering // The king's sanctuary // Please don't be shy Give him more Hear him roar Facing him // The steel is sharp Gigantic // The breath is calm Nothing will be in vein // Nothing will end his reign The king screams // And resonating Majestic // Royal blood covers him Nothing will remain // Nothing will stop them

LERNI 16:45
Hide // Wear the cloak stay obscure The fog // Of your allies still the best Slaughter // Satisfy your own pleasure Corpses // Keep blooming around your nest Hideous // Facing you will be the real torture Vicious // All this scene is just a test Blind // We will never feel secure I hope // This chapter will be blessed The snakes knot and drown // Legions fight for a crown Estuaries of scales // Only one head must prevail Imprisoned and tangled // Choose the one to strangle Intermingled atrocity // That ever fought finality Dying
Is the art to become one with the infinite The purest state of life Hiding
Is the art to become one with the emptiness
The most useless state of life The conundrum I face because of you
Morphologic palindrome that's blurring my view Plenteousness of possibilities at the gate Like a blooming ivy you will suffocate  Slice as much as the steel will permit me I'm getting tired // But it's not me to decide Cutting spines 'til the steel twists and bend I'm getting weak // Hoping to abolish the bleak Blurring my sight // Too many things to focus on Feeling contrite // At the vacuity of my gestures Such a delight // Too much rage to express A new page to write // Maculated by the ruby fluid I'll become insane // Running in circles forever I'm not the one to blame // None of us will surrender
Future fights will be in vein // My hopes are getting slender I must break the chain // Even if I'm blinded by your splendor Not by myself // The hissing is making me deaf Help me my friend // On your presence my life depends Burn cauterize the wounds Incinerate be sure not to exclude Oust his power from eruption
Preclude it from the reconstruction We've reached the twilight All is over  Hard to believe we've won the fight The circle comes back around The monster Cannot offer another round It has become an addiction Just one more That's all I need to cure my affliction A new thirst appears
I need to seal it
Confine it Your fangs fall into the lake Purified I promise we will all gather to the wake The poison in your veins
Leaking, flooding  This will be all that remains Your scales are scattered They decorate The roofs of the houses you burned A new labor will appears
I need to honor it
Complete it 
No more word of glory
The ending scene
Of this never ending story The noises suddenly ceased
Martyrs
Can finally rest in peace Buried under my skin
Reprisal
A sentiment I try to hide My deepest temptation Being stranded In this role of pure annihilation

KERYNEIA 12:10
Run Hide Play I suppose I'll be alright The sun So proud On your gold Reflects his light Finally, you have tasted it The freedom is intoxicating Enjoy it as much as you can I'll definitely take you back There is no more strings attached No master to take orders from The only thing that count from now on Is you Watching something so sublime I idolize you Earth is not where you belong Hoping that you'll become mine If I believe in you You were the truth all along Counting every step Hunting day and night Crossing each landscape Rejoicing in having your antlers in sight All this masquerade to not get bored You're only a pawn on the almighty's chess board jA part of your life has been erased A part of my immortality has been wasted Don't be nervous, dazzling creature Despite appearances, I am the only one who has been tortured A year without spilling blood A year, the price for being recognized as a god Keep up Set the pace Make it interesting Don’t let me win Watching something so sublime I idolize you Earth is not where you belong Hoping that you'll become mine If I believe in you You were the truth all along Playing with me all this time I think I forgive you You've been alone for so long Running until the end of time I understand you To be chained just to be so strong Defy me To be the first Implore me To be lenient Seduce me To be your ally Face my greatness And cry

ERYMANTHOS 10:03
Misery on sight Taking sides in this fight I'll play day and night For their future to be bright Seek traces of the legend Hunt until dawn Tired, sleepless tracking Of signs of the boar Day after day I regret An humiliation I can't forget It's on me that you placed your bet I will try until my last drop of sweat Questioning every aspect Which strategy should I select Too many plans that I will neglect In my heart the results are perfect It's time for a new phase I've redesigned the maze Rules have been broken Maps will be written My devotion, I prove it to you The submission, when I capture you My creation, my descent with you The damnation, when I decide to sacrifice myself with you

about

Telling the myth of the twelve labours of Heracles, It is composed of 12 musical pieces spread over 3 records: The Eagle, The Peacock & The Lion.

NevBorn has got much more aggressive as they have never been that still. Betting on style-alternating patterns, they have thoroughly worked the last year to finally reveal their new project they signed on both Cold Smoke Records and Czar of Crickets.
