Twisting and turning
Your face to the wall
Your future was soaring
The landing was hard

Your conscience would take no resistance
You found a way out
The threshold of freedom was calling
Can I pull you out?

I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow

Guarding your space for surveillance
When changes come fast
But calls of the night are contagious
And easy to grasp

I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow
And I know how it feels

Do you remember the fire in your skin?
That you tried to dismember
With the cold of December
When I looked into your eyes
I saw fear in your stare
Your body was standing before me
But your soul was not there

Stealing the rain from your thunder
You wear the disguise
I knew all along you were trying
To taste your own blood

Circles are closing around you
Forming your shield
Statues of friends fall behind you
How long can you stand

I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow
And I know how it feels

Make my decisions, carry my flame
Reading my lines for the camera's stare
Sentenced to follow
Mental incision easy to trace
Recycled all of my daily rhymes
Force me to read them the same
Minds that were not made for dreaming
Raise a functional
Hand that was not made for seeing
What we have become
There are no uncensored programs
We must refrain
Clear your minds
Run to be free

Waking in circles, man or machine
What are these programs we enter now
Are they not really the same
Minds that were not made for dreaming
Raise a functional
Hand that was not made for seeing
What we have become
There are no uncensored programs
We must refrain
Clear your minds
Run to be free
I'm reading your life line
There is no time all systems go

Waking in circles, man or machine
What are these programs we enter now
Are they not really the same
Minds that were not made for dreaming
Raise a functional
Hand that was not made for seeing
What we have become
There are no uncensored programs
We must refrain
Clear your minds
Run to be free
I'm reading your life line
There is no time all systems go
Man or machine

Rising resistance decision to abort
Plan of peace in danger
This weight on our shoulders
Much to heavy now to hold
Dreams of high cards
Now have been thrown fold

Near the edge one push and we fall
Dauntless angels seeing no wrong

Scenes from our future
Reflected in the past
Farther in debt to the hour glass
This story we're writing
Much to sad to be told
There is no reason
For this course that we chose

Near the edge one push and we fall
Dauntless angels seeing no wrong

A cold sun is rising
In the mist of poison skies
Our life lines are severed forgotten
The cry of a new child
Will echo in the night
To retrace the ones
That have been left behind

Near the edge one push and we fall
Dauntless angels seeing no wrong

Captured in this sequence
I lust for days of promise passing by
Another place, another time
Another ship of fools I am on
Oh, they go nowhere
Should I feel this way?
Have I been this way before?
Just another day

In the life of one man
Who watched the hours quickly passing by
I had the world in my hand
But then how could I let it slip away
Oh God, fade away
Should I feel this way?
Have I been this way before?
Just another day

I waited on the morning
The sun did rise
Another day is lost in time
Now my direction wanders
I've lost my way
Oh God, I need someone
To help me through another day
Is this real

Time will never answer for itself
Seems I'm wasting all of mine
These feelings that I have for you
So unreal and they just get in my way
Oh God, in my way
Should I feel this way?
Have I been this way before?
Just another day

I waited on the morning
The sun did rise
Another day is lost in time
Now my direction wanders
I've lost my way
Oh God, I need someone
To help me through another day
Is this real

Tried to feed this hunger
Tried to see this light
Now I can feel no longer
Is there no escape from here
Is this life, but what I have seen

Captured in this sequence
I lust for days of promise passing by
Another place, another time
Another ship of fools I am on
Oh, they go nowhere
Should I feel this way?
Have I been this way before?
Just another day

I waited on the morning
The sun did rise
Another day is lost in time
Now my direction wanders
I've lost my way
Oh God, I need someone
To help me through another day
Is this real

An early warning
Forging notes that never die
The air now rings with dissonant sound
Screaming our last prayer
For this cross that we bare grows much heavier
Holding us down when we fall from our feet

As the storms of time subside
The coals from past life will fuel this fire
Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free

A killing season
Blinding words obscuring the plain
Poisoning the lips of the newborn in vain
Distant signs of light
Deliver us from the night we were drowning
But now we've been washed
Onward to a new shore

As the storms of time subside
The coals from past life will fuel this fire
Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free
Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free

They call this reason
Different views through different eyes
If you speak the truth why do I see lies
Distant signs of light
Will smooth these rough seas that we ride
We were drowning
But now we've been washed
Onward to a new shore
Over and over and over

I counted the seconds
As they passed me by like hours
Avoiding contact with the world
That seeks to find me
Somehow they've found a way
Of making me their firing range
The tragedy has just begun
Now we must pay for what they've done

They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Turning in this vicious groove
I have fallen into
My father my government
Forgot me when I was a child
Someday when I am stronger
I'll find my way across the room
And open up the door they've closed
I am so afraid of what they've done

They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Outside my window lies
The promise of my freedom
I searched and found no sanctuary
To shelter my exposure to the rain

Time was gaining on me
I ran as fast as I could
The fever came to fast
Infected with tomorrow
Sometimes it seems to me
This is all we are meant to be
Is there anyone above
To make them pay for what they've done

They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Outside my window lies
The promise of my freedom
I searched and found no sanctuary
To shelter my exposure to the rain

Holy this night that I pray
From the womb of my dying mother
The blood of her thigh reveals her shame

This scanning and screening my mind
Wasn't born to cry my heart out
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have be shed
Then I know we will make it together

Holding this breath that I stole
From a beam of light I followed
I can't forget the things I've seen

Their dying for freedom in vain
While we all just watch and wonder
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have be shed
Then I know we wil1make it

Once I was born to look in the eyes
Of a world that was calling my name
Now I can't hear
What of these millions
And this pain they must bare
Never to hear, never to see
For their shadows

For breaking the silence they kill
In cold blood that pours down on me
I wear like a crest when I recall

This vision that glows through the night
While I wish that I was dreaming
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have be shed
Then I know we will make it together

You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday
For it's getting so much harder
To carry on this way
Did you hear what happened
When I tried to make the news
I thought that we could change the world
No one wanted to

Just for a moment
I had to turn away
And find another point of view
A playback was refused

Halfway through a short life
I tried to stop in mid flight
Condemned to touch the ground
I found myself alone

There was only one exit
My flight was not detected
I just have to rewrite
My restless serenades

Just for a moment
I had to turn away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame

It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune

Just like a prisoner
I found escape through dreaming
The world keeps turning me
With fate like carousels

I sat in my empty room
I sent out my distress signals
They never could be heard
The walls were closing in

Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame

It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune

Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame

It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune

You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday

I shivered and listened
To a cold nights warning
I've never walked closer
To the edge of the dawning
Every step that I take
Could carry me homeward
They used to pray for me
They knew that I was falling
I'll wash away my sorrows
Down by the river
Put my face in the cold wind
Won't you pray
Oh won't you pray for me
I have fallen
Oh won't you pray for me

This violent whispers
Were trying to take me
They knew that I would go
But now they forsake me
I'll wash away my sorrows
Down by the river
Put my face in the cold wind
Won't you pray
Oh won't you pray for me
I have fallen
Oh won't you pray for me

I live inside this killing machine
Surrounded by its destiny
Swimming in this human disease
Pulling me down can you feel it
A Christian thrust a thorn in my side
Emptied his pockets as a whore walked by
Who'll bare this cross for those who don't believe
Like Jesus Christ who tried to set us free

Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die

The children stare with fear in their eyes
I can't deny their yearning cries
I turn my back as I pretend not to see
They're calling me now, can you hear them
I have the fever now can I transcend
I need an exit, have to shed my skin
Nothing lo lose, I have nothing to gain
The fear of living can't ease my pain

Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die

Mother can you hear me
Father can you heal me
Christ can you ease my pain

A curse that was bequeathed in my name
Through eyes of desperate men
And I'm the same when all is lost
Why do we still look for blame
It's all our own fault can you see
Can't turn my back on you
I can't close my eyes
Can't feel this shame
Can't buy these killing lies
Can't fight the instinct 'cause I know what I am
Killing machine can it be

Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die

Mother can you hear me
Father can you heal me
Christ can you ease my pain
Something in the wind
