I want to know, where I should go
Should I follow your path or find my own?
I know it's time to decide
To figure out what to do with this life
But can I really be free in your society
Adjust to your norms and your beliefs?
Can I be tamed within your frames
Can I be free if I'm in chains?
I am the monster you tamed
A beast inside its cage
Now I'm the bitter clown in your play
A proud man drowning in shame
Gave up on my dreams
Sucked down in the flood that is the mainstream
I transformed, became the norm that I fear the most
I am the monster you tamed
A beast inside its cage
Now I'm the bitter clown in your play
A proud man drowning in shame
There's something calling deep within me
Begging to be released
I let myself die piece by piece
In your machinery
I've been adapting for so long
It's time I finally got to see who's the weak
The beast or the machine
I am the monster you tamed
A beast inside its cage
Now I'm the bitter clown in your play
A proud man drowning in shame

Periphery
04:04
|
|||
|
The bitter reminder of all that is gone
A rapid reflection, a suffering heart
Somewhere but not here, anywhere
State of denial continue leading me wrong
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery
For a fraction of time nerves unwind
The precious moments I live to find
Distracting, disrupting, disturbing me
The second I feel it, it's killing me
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery
Timing, lightning - always too late
Fractions flashing for me
Stretching, reaching - never enough
Distance, approach me now
I can see it there
I see, it's there
I believe it is here
Just out of sight
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery

One With The Shadows
04:33
|
|||
|
The more I observe, the more I want to close my eyes
And ignore the entire world
Ignore the fact that I'm a part of this herd
A part of me wants to
Run from my existence,
shed my skin
I'm running out of persistence
This is a fight I'm never going to win
So I disappear
I become one with the shadows
I step away, from the weak and the shallow
Watch me disappear
The life in my eyes, was taken long ago
The thoughts in my head, once rebellious, are dead
I'm shaped, sharped and polished to look like the others
I need an exit, something to help me
Run from my existence, shed my skin
I'm running out of persistence
This is a fight I'm never going to win
So I disappear
I become one with the shadows
I step away, from the weak and the shallow
Watch me disappear
Cannot take it, cannot take it
Cannot fake anymore
No adjusting, no abjection
Cannot adapt to the norm
So I disappear
Disappear, I become one with the shadows
I step away, from the weak and the shallow
Watch me disappear

Passenger
04:03
|
|||
|
This is the mask I wear
A silent surface just to hide my fear
A violence stirring within
Control is caving in
Dark thoughts gathering
Black fog embraces me
Now let the chaos begin
I let the dark inside me
Take control now
So let the dogs behind me
Run me down
For every good thought I think
There are seven dark thoughts
Pounding on the barrier
My endless struggling
To quench the will of sin
It gave me nothing
But an empty void
Red skies descending
Now let the heavens come down

Mr. Death
04:07
|
|||
|
Dim light, curtains closed
A silence fills my head
Eyes shut, a glimpse of hope
As the needle twists my vein
Pitch black, soulless shell
Pure sorrow swept in sin
Dark dreams, even darker days
No colors may shine in
Wish I could see the end
Mr. Death would you take my pain away?
I cannot stand the waiting
Mr. Death please lead my soul astray
This broken body is not worth saving
The deep red clears my mind
A thought is taking hold
Black ink against the white
My truth at last be told
Now I'm off to meet the end
Mr. Death would you take my pain away?
I cannot stand the waiting
Mr. Death please lead my soul astray
This broken body is not worth saving
Dim light, curtains closed
A silence fills my head

Mechanical Slaves
03:29
|
|||
|
I've seen the death in your eyes
You use consumption as a way of life
I've seen it enter your mind
Like a disease that made you blind and weak
We're the souls manufactured and tuned to perfection
This is what we've become
Robotic, mechanical slaves of our own greed
This is the modern humanity
I see excitement in your eyes
You found salvation in an advertise
In a world where everything's for sale
The quest for wealth has replaced the Holy Grail
We're the souls manufactured and tuned to perfection
This is what we've become
Robotic, mechanical slaves of our own greed
This is the modern humanity
I've seen this apathy expand
In the air, across the seas, throughout the land
It's just a matter of days before we erase ourselves
It's time to wake up
Open your eyes
Souls manufactured and doomed to perfection
This is what we've become
Robotic, mechanical slaves of our own greed
This is the modern humanity

Plastic
03:51
|
|||
|
We are stuck, no new directions
Creators drained of ideas
In the age of constant replacements
When everything's already made
We expand, every inch must be covered
Nothing will stand in our way
In the age of the greatest delusions
Everyone's thinking the same
So let your conscience fade now
Cause we can never blame ourselves
Adaption - nowhere in reach
Devastation under our feet
Tempting shape and design
Desperation - our wills collide
Plastic excitement
Craving for more, an unstoppable greed
Elastic environment
For how long will you bend the truth?
So let your conscience fade now
Cause we can never blame ourselves

The Final Spin
04:29
|
|||
|
A cold wind sweeps across the land
It reminds me that it's time
The last sunset seems ages ago
And the light should have long ago arrived
On this dreadful day
All is silent
Fuel ignites and burns
We are the last to leave
So wave goodbye to the world we know
Mother earth now dies
And taste the shame just for a moment
We stand and watch as rotation stops
See her final spin
Is this the peak of our revolution?
Our evergrowing thirst for more
Resulted in decay
Inspiration painted thoughts that common
Sense should have long ago denied and
Thrown away
We turn and look away
As the earth collapses
Her last motion still with grace
Our mother forever laid to rest

Parhelia
03:38
|
|||
|
I am apart from my equals
Because I know of what's to come
The future holds no sequel and no new dawn
As the light from the halo flows
Betrayal, deceit
The ground is shaking underneath your feet
Now watch what I have seen
The markings in the sky (deserved and predicted)
A proof of our belief
The ending of our time (as expected)
Beware of the halo
And I see in your blackened eyes
That you would rather become blind
We face the truth from the scenes
That has been haunting me
Now I know what it's all about
Now watch what I have seen
The markings in the sky (deserved and predicted)
A proof of our belief
The ending of our time (as expected)
Here in these blank surroundings
At the eye of a perfect storm
There's no excuse, no escape, no exit
May a constant darkness bury us all
Predictions never lie
Now watch what I have seen
The markings in the sky (deserved and predicted)
A proof of our belief
The ending of our time (as expected)

Life, The Obstacle
05:40
|
|||
|
It's a violent whisper
A kind of weightless burden
It's a lonely swim in a crowded ocean
A will to set sail in a dying wind
I hope someday you will find
That glorious moment
A sense of pride
I will stay in my mind
The perfect hideout
Where even life itself cannot get to me
You're a vibrant static
A life within a shell that's dying
You're a constant chained to an endless motion
Courage now swept in a cloak of fear
Too few, the answers
Too vague, the signs
Too weak resistance
Too true, the lies
We seek deliverance and find denial
We seek salvation where faith is blind
I hope someday you will find
That glorious moment
A sense of pride
I will stay in my mind
The perfect hideout
Where even life itself cannot get to me

Spokes In The Wheel
04:36
|
|||
|
Waste the endless days
Pondering on how to get away
You're a mask, nothing real
Just a piece in a spinning wheel
When you're almost there
It steals your thoughts
Disturbance surrounds you
Then it's gone
In the shades, in the weakest of moments
Deep in your doubts full of agony
Don't forget that we're fuel for the engine
And you're nothing but a spoke in the wheel
The same awakening
Strikes your mind every time
It's a shame, all this suffering
Like you thought you had a life
Are you closing in?
You forgot one thing
That it's a dead end street
Where all the dreamers meet
In the shades, in the weakest of moments
Deep in your doubts full of agony
Don't forget that we're fuel for the engine
And you're nothing but a spoke in the wheel

Release The Floods
03:36
|
|||
|
Every day is a repetitive grey
No sharp edges, no color, no shape
Every day is just a short-term solution
An endless confusion, a longing for escape
Take me somewhere
Far away from this weight I'm under
Save me now, release the floods
Wash away what is left of the grey
Every day is an endless delay
I'm just waiting for the barriers to break
Every day I build up more desperation
Increasing frustration about to explode
Take me somewhere
Far away from this weight I'm under
Save me now, release the floods
Wash away what is left of the grey
You spend your life doing things you don't want to do
Every day is the same, nothing breaks through the grey
I forgot who I am, I forgot where I came from
And where I belong
Take me somewhere
Far away from this weight I'm under
Save me now, release the floods
Wash away what is left of the grey

Through Black Holes
05:31
|
|||
|
Eyes wide open in here
Sensing there's something wrong with me
And with the room they've put me into
I try to fall asleep when there's no really need to breathe
How come I ended up alone?
Absent, forgotten, slowly withering away
Wither away, wither away I
Wither away, wither
Through black holes I stray
Eyes go blind in here
Wither away, wither away I
Wither away, wither
Through black holes I stray
Now I don't want to turn this around, bring me the stars
When the last of the bright goes dark I am a part
We are all of the same old matter, it matters no more
We unite, reconcile
