Suddenly Gone
04:43
|

Awake at nighttime
Lay in your bed
There is no hope for us
Will you be mad?
Where are you going
My special friend
You should believe me
It's not the end
Trapped in a nightmare
You'll be awake
For all eternity
It's just a fake
Why are you leaving
My only friend
Do not believe them
This is the end

Disturbia
07:21
|
|||
|
Sleeping all day and it's working fine
Hiding from problems that aren't mine
Ignoring debates, discussions and interviews
Shielding myself from the latest news
And my day goes on, and on
Politics come across as pretentious and cheap
During talkshows, I tend to fall asleep
Global issues don't bother me at all
Compared to mine, they seem rather small
I... I don't care
Some might say that it's not clever
That I can't avoid reality forever
But I stopped caring long ago, their words mean nothing
So I just shrug and walk away, but deep inside I'm laughing
I'm going home... to sleep some more

The Inner Circle

Welcome to a place
Where the colours are all gray
You can spend your time
To contemplate and pray
Come and talk to us
We'll take away your fear
And if you see a light
You'll know why you came here
Welcome to a place
Where the colours are all gray

Monkey Face
04:52
|
|||
|
The look in your face
Tells me more
Than all your words
Orange drops of sweat
And skinny sacks of flesh
Do I see a gray hair?
The wrinkles burn like itches
Get the kitchen knife
And cut my eyeballs out
I must be someone else
Burn the yearbook pictures
I must be someone

Existing Is Not Enough

As the dawn breaks
All the dark clouds
Disappear from view
It's true, ooh
I'm gonna pull myself together
And do a leap
Good morning, world, I'm on my way
To go out and face the day
Because I'm high and full of energy
My head
Is ready
To take a dive
Blood is running through my veins
The energy remains
My soul and body burn with ecstasy
I'm floating
And soaring
I feel alive
I will not drown beneath the waves
But grow and reach new heights
The perfect time can only be now
I'm running
Faster
I'll set the pace
I can feel my feet transcend
This highway never ends
Will it take me to a different place?
Driving
Arriving
In outer space
The stars shine brighter every minute
And the music never stops
I'm gonna pull myself together
And show the world it's me

Seas Of Solitude
10:13
|
|||
|
Solitude, isolation
Emptiness and desolation
I feel like a stranger to myself
And yet, so familiar
The time has come to finally
Rethink my life
All I was
The moment your heart must surrender
Don't worry, cause you're not alone
A dream where you're floating in heaven
Remaining in a world of your own
You can feel yourself
My visions fade like my memories
Acceptance is all I may find
Returning to my only shelter
All pain is erased from my mind
I can't see my face
Ooooh, Ah, Ah
Ooooh, Ah, Ah

False Hope
08:15
|
|||
|
Ask no questions, believe in the scripture
Say your prayers, embrace the lecture
Conditioned to follow, they've got us under control
Showing no mercy, indoctrinating our soul
Whipping us motionless, forcing the sheep to obey
Bellowing orders, taking our freedom away
Do not give in
Don't let them win
This is the final chance for us to rebel
Escaping this false delusion and breaking the spell
Rejecting the lies and the hate that bring death and despair
When will they stop to pretend, when they really don't care
Will I ever heal? (x2)

Banquo's Ghost
05:38

Why do these faces come back and haunt me?
How can it be that I must relive these events?
Echoes of my voice attempting to taunt me
They won't let me bleach the red on my trembling hands
And I want to forget
But I will not forget
Oh, and I want to escape
Conscience, will you leave me be?
What's this unsettling light I see
My courage is drifting away from me
Conscience, leave me be
When you can't apologise
And you can't hide the fear in your eyes
Now I just look in the mirror and scream
Darkness, set me free
|

We never really talked
Not a single word
I still feel the memories
But the memories hurt
I may have lied to you
Can we just try anew?
And next time I'll be honest
To you, I promise
We may have waited too long
The opportunity is gone
Oh, I can feel the pain
(Can you feel the pain)
I can feel the shame

No Life Wasted
02:14

They ship us off to war
On a sinking freighter
We go to no man's land
To fight someone else's war
We leave our base in early morning
We will march until it's dark
My feet are cold, my legs are hurting
I am hungry and afraid
They ship us off to war
To defend our country
That we have left behind
Out here we must risk our lives
My ears are filled with sounds of bullets
Bodies falling to the ground
I used to be afraid of dying
Now I'm just afraid to live
They ship us off to war
And the tides keep turning
Even if our troops win
Our people will always lose
I turn my head and see the corpses
They will never fade away

Present Day
12:37
|
|||
|
Is this our time
Is this our time, we ask
They come for us
They come for us
Unexpectedly
We live our lives
Until the sun turns black
We fall apart
We fall apart together
Unexpectedly
Our busy minds reflect upon mysteries unsolved
Our world may fall apart
Our world may end today
But after all we can say
At the end of the day
That we are still here
Yes, we still breathe

Broken Man

Listen to my story
That I'm about to tell
Back in my days of glory
Before I tripped and fell
The vividness of morning
Had stayed with me all day
But then, without a warning
The sky had turned all gray
The light becoming stranger
And shadows start to fall
The feeling that there's danger
The wish to end it all
As much as you might tremble
For courage you should strive
For if you have to gamble
Don't gamble with your life
