It is a general term used to indicate sanctity or separation from all that is sinful, impure or morally imperfect; i.e. it is moral wholeness. The term is used with reference to persons, places, and things. Holiness is one of the essential attributes of the divine nature. It is, on the one hand, entire freedom from moral evil and, on the other, absolute moral perfection.
"Anchor" was written to consolidate Cytus II's characters Aroma’s & Kaori’s memories along with their joint experience. We also wanted to express PAFF’s ability to turn negativity and trauma into their source of strength, along with her determination to push through grief and suffering, using their experience as a foundation to save others. The bridge section also uniquely captures and echoes various key moments of PAFF’s life and journey up until the release of the song.

LYRICS:
Time is fading away,
So much has been lost to date
All of our sacrifices,
our love should suffice in this tribulation.
Gravity is pulling me,
but I learned how to anchor myself to my feet
With this new-found strength,
I will carry your burdens together with you
Yes, our love will come through
There’s many reasons to grieve the past
but I chose to rise above it all
Forgiveness is power, the healing that last
So let this beat in your heart forever more
Gravity is pulling me,
but I learned how to anchor myself to my feet
With this new-found strength,
I will carry your burdens together with you
Oh, there’s many reasons to grieve the past
you must choose to rise above it all
Can you hear me?
Have I finally reached you?
Won’t you believe?
Forgiveness is power, the healing that lasts
So let this beat in our hearts forever more

LYRICS:
My grief and sorrow may last through the night,
But I know, my peace and joy comes with the morning.
This emptiness in me, that I have to fight,
Fear and depression, these will not define me.
Oh heavens,
Let me believe that all of my life’s not a lie,
Let me seek the path to freedom from my mind.
Just let me dance, oh let me play,
Oh let me cry out all this pain,
Just let me sing till I find who am I inside.
Who am I?
My hurts and wounds may shackle my path,
But these heaven’s wing will lift me from the grounds.
The memories in me, the lies in the past,
Doubts, hesitations, these won’t hold me down.

With its release in the exciting update for RAVON v2.0, “Karashidane” explores the fusion of ethnic instruments and melodic psytrance elements. The energetic drop sets a strong contrast to the vocal line and intense layering of melodic percussions. The song lyrics encourage one to be strong in the face of any adversity especially if one is beyond reproach.

LYRICS:
Weapons of words forged against you,
Are they worth all your fight?
The enemy lies in the darkest of night
But here’s the truth
Why should you dread?
You’re a fearless man
Untouched in the burning fire
Whom shall you fear?
You’re a blameless man
Unharmed in a lion’s den
Arise, be strong and courageous
Tremble not, you’re not forsaken
Even lions, mighty among the beasts,
are silenced by faith of a mustard seed

LYRICS:
Great river carries fallen flowers,
They say that nothing lasts forever
And those that we’ve lost,
may now disappear,
But fear not,
there’s still hope in this hour
By faith, we will move the mountains
By faith, we’ll see the sun shines
through the clouds and the rain
By faith, we will get through these times,
for certain
By faith, we’ll meet our loved ones again
So, come sing with me
Rejoice that we’re here
together,
Let’s hold on to this dream
Of the future ahead,
Where we’ll look back
And smile, and cry maybe
But we’ll know that we did endure
Raging river drowns the voices deep,
Over memories lost, do we always weep?
And yet, we are saved,
By this love, oh so free,
A love that tames the winds and the sea
By grace, we will move the mountains
By grace, we’ll see the sun shines
through the clouds and the rain
By grace, we will get through these times,
for certain
By grace, we’ll meet our loved ones again
So, come sing with me,
Rejoice that we’re here
together,
Let’s hold on to this dream
Of the future ahead,
Where we’ll look back
And smile, and cry maybe
But we’ll know that we did endure

LYRICS:
I lift up my eyes, and my hands to the heavens,
Release all my cries in this land of aggression,
But comfort does not come to souls in oppression,
So, I offer my heart in Your presence.
I believe not the might, not the power nor splendor,
But faith, hope, and love,
will withstand time and pressure.
So whomsoever sacrifice life for the better,
His name will be cherished forever.
Where there's pain and suffering,
these too shall pass.
Even good things don't last forever.
But take heart, be still,
Hear my words before I leave,
Faith, hope and love will remain,
But the greatest of all, is love.
