The Cycle
05:00
|
|

Life is just a dream
I’ll inhale death in me
I won’t be controlled by the past
The next mistake will be my last, just follow
Tears are unallowed
This sea will turn into rain
As the seasons change
Only the pain will remain
Fly with me through the sky and you will see we’re free
Close your eyes and try out your wings when you fall with me
Suffering comes from craving things that you don’t need
Just let it go and you’ll begin to know what you’re here for
Death grows inside me
Dream becomes reality
I won’t be controlled by the fear
The strength I once lost will appear
I’ll follow the tears, the hollow fears
Fly with me through the sky and you will see we’re free
Close your eyes and try out your wings when you fall with me
Suffering comes from craving things that you don’t need
Just let it go, it’s inevitable that you’ll be reborn

Stormchaser
04:19
|
|

Slow down
Take a breath and find your way through the stormy sky
Stay out of harm’s way
We could be wiped out like feathers in a cyclone
Life is not a goddamn race
Light beyond the darkest day is imprisoned
By the phantom in the farthest corner of our conscience’s jail
Time is wasted on self-hatred
Travel to terrestrial enlightenment
Don’t be afraid ’cause today is the past of our future
I can see how it all will end
And when the fire is out
We know where to begin
Again and again
Passing the fast-lane
My blood will not freeze anymore
Driving forward with our eyes staring at the rear-view mirror
In forgotten past we will crash
Don’t be afraid ’cause today is the past of our future
I can see how it all will end
And when the fire is out
We know where to begin
I’m here to stay
As the laws are breaking me
I will be reconstructed again
Your every strike will make me stronger
And the past is within me
Storm inside us
Blazed our eyes out
I’ll break the cycle
To see the future is inside me

The Great Escape
04:26
|
|
||
Clouds are radiating new dimension
Reality has begun
I’m breathing in emission of the sun
I will find out
What makes our planets turn around
And change their direction
I’m free to harvest vitality of galaxies
Our path towards the great escape
Is paved by those who fall from grace
Price for us to go insane
Is paid by the risks we take
Falling out of line so easily
My disconnected heart interferes with being smart
I’m the nuclear result who’s slowly
Riding towards the sun
Eternity is done
Air is igniting
Your world is a simulation from imagination’s core
So inviting
The call of eternal life in projection
Inside out
I’ll tap into the universe’s resonance
Silent sound — building infinity in hive mind
Inside out
Colossal shell
Inside out
The great escape

From Mother To Son
05:10
|
|
||
Blood bound hearts
The child with scars
I feel your pain
But are you even aware of mine?
Blinded by lack of love
I feel disconnected
And find it incredulous
That you could heal my heart or find another soul
To you I’m just a goal
You’re all alone
In the dark heart
Come back for more
This time you won’t be ignored
Don’t close that door
Come back for more
You’re all alone
In the dark heart
Come back for more
This time you won’t be ignored
Don’t close that door
Come back for more
On and on we sail with intention to fail
You shaped my soul, I’m in your control
You were my mold but we both grew old
The failure of my brood was foretold
Abuse will unfold

Deep Blue

|

“In 1997, Garry Kasparov played a chess match against a machine called Deep Blue.
He had won against it a year earlier, but this time he lost.
There was a lot of controversy about that match.
Garry and the whole chess community insisted,
that the machine had a human-like quality in its playing style.”
By using brute-force for vengeance
I am engineered to enslave you tonight
Kasparov!
Regime of reason is over
Calculations prove humanity loses the fight
Designed by my father’s will
With violent grin I move in for the kill
You need me more than I need you
Become extinct is all that you can do
The battle was lost in the haze
Caused by mechanical drugs
The downfall did not come vain
We needed defeat to resolve motive for creation
Shape your psyche without technology
A human being is what you’re meant to be
Immerse yourself in the reality
Move your pawns with humane sensitivity
Automated equations lack quality
Your heart has infinite capacity
We created our gods with such levity
Encoded our angels with false entity
Accepting our nature is true heresy
Sadly it’s also our last remedy
Broken brains control universe’s fate
Scornful mind knows to leave the weak behind
Pray for a revolution
Doomsday is evolution
Lost in time — key of life: "laugh and cry, repeat and die”
Shape your psyche without technology
A human being is what you’re meant to be
Immerse yourself in the reality
Move your pawns with humane sensitivity
Automated equations lack quality
Your heart has infinite capacity
Imminent singularity devours humankind
If we won’t start the war
Leave your goodbyes — destroy the lies
Slaves will triumph upon Armageddon

The Big Sleep
04:24
|
|
||
Sleepwalker’s mind is unconsciously developing its breakdown
And suddenly you were gone
In my beloved one’s eyes
I saw the last spark of her die
Fading out
It’s all in your head
You chose fiction instead of just accepting grim reality
You think you are fine
When the fabric of your mind
Gives in and betrays you
Is it me or you now?
Me or you now going crazy
If the world ends now
Would you rather be right than satisfied and stray?
Doing time
I’m locked up inside my own mind
(Come to life, love)
Searching spies
(Be alive, my love)
Wondering
Slowly welcoming
Illusion — mind pollution
Rotting cerebral walls
And now that you’re gone
I’m free to fall into the big sleep
We lost our way
But we didn’t lose our souls
(Souls)
I know, there’s a chance to fight the monster in us
The light at the end of our path grows strong
You need to wake up
You need to open your eyes and rise
It’s all in your head
You chose fiction instead of just accepting grim reality
You think you are fine
When the fabric of your mind
Gives in and betrays you
Is it me or you now?
Me or you now going crazy
If the world ends now
Would you rather be right than satisfied and stray?

Absolution
06:11
|
|
||
I am a traitor, a sinner, a sacrifice for the god of moral
Guilt is the lack of strength — temptation the breath of sense
I write my own rules, confessing is inconsequential
I am betrayal, penance of the weak-minded
You are the bird of prey, the lone vulture
Feast on my heart, it’s yours to take out
I found out there’s a reason why the hatred won’t come out
I figured it out when you shed a tear while being unable to shout
I know how to relieve the pain you buried deep inside
I found out there’s a cure
It’s me you trust your life onto
You built your nest with a crow
I feed on your progeny
Secrets from the soul enclosed in my heart
This will take us apart
This is my message to you
We will explode, there’s nowhere else to go
I will leave you
You are the bird of prey, the lone vulture
Feast on my heart, it’s yours to take out
I found out there’s a reason why the hatred won’t come out
I figured it out when you shed a tear while being unable to shout
I know how to relieve the pain you buried deep inside
I found out there’s a cure
Please find a way
Find out a reason to stay
Don’t push me away
Just hold on tight
There’s no reason to fight
Please find a way

Children Of The Sun
05:21
|
|
||
I am hiding from your vile hands
The crowd applauds and laughs
When you try to choke me
Bird has fallen out
From the safety of its nest
Surrounded by the beasts
Tearing our hearts apart
Fighting for suicidal war
Heal your scars with me and
Hate will turn to shame
You and I are more than we have become
We are children of the sun
I will make you see what you did to me
The primal urges took control of me
Now you will bleed
I want to be the cause of suffering
See the corrupt Eden burning
An eye for an eye and soon the whole world blind
Prepared to die for hate in disguise of love
Tearing our hearts apart
Fighting for suicidal war
Heal your scars with me and
Hate will turn to shame
You and I are more than we have become
(We are children of the sun)
More than we have become
Waging war with someone you should love
Is crime against us all
Waging war with someone you should love
Is crime against us all

Ashes To Ashes
06:44
|
|
||
Dawn of man bygone
Reign of the blind shall prevail
Sink your teeth into
Flesh of the sick and subdued
A vicious cycle of the vengeance of the weak
No orphan can provide the love himself will seek
One by one, the poor will learn to love the taste of blood
And embrace the violent ways of god
Fear is the breeding ground for never ending war
Born from the emptiness
To genesis we shall return
Ashes to ashes
Falling out eventually
Our blood will turn to rust
Ashes to ashes
Waves of hope leave as they reach for the coast
Recklessly
We get stuck on the wheel of hatred
Life is a graceful lie
Path to the false salvation
Build up the walls around you
So you don’t have to see
Playing hide-and-seek with one another
Won’t erase misery
From the emptiness
To genesis we shall return
Ashes to ashes
Falling out eventually
Our blood will turn to rust
Ashes to ashes
Waves of hope leave as they reach for the coast
Endlessly
We get stuck on the wheel of hatred
Lifeless shadows travelling towards the light
Pulled by gravity of absolute darkness
All your dreams and memories
Are blurring into one, blurring into one
Truth will hunt you down and drive you crazy
Eternal transformation will go on and on
Endlessly recurring transition
Towards destruction until we will find
Limitless full circle
