01. Landscape 1 - Into The Void

[Instrumental]

02. Mental Entropy

A tiny voice grips tight the word
And the holy ghost seems to appear
And nervous ears engulfed the stream
Ignorant minds in their own time

Salvation
Damnation
Dull puppets marching without plan

Can feel it
Have to believe it
There's still a touch of truth somewhere

Try, rear up for one last time
Mendacity creeps out of their heads
Walled around from liar towers
And no white knight seems to to be there

Encountered entropy
Betrayers philosophy
And I realized there's no space left for hope

If certainties fusing like snowflakes
If words don't carry sense anymore
Who will dry the tears of tomorrow
And count all those tormented souls?

If moral becomes unsavory vicious
Than look around, they could be seduced
Sense this as a memory of tomorrow
Without a shadow of doubt,
Without a shadow of...

No shout for a reverse
Talk to each other disappeared
A wall of lies before me
Ignorance this is your time

Can't feel it
But like to believe it
That still a touch of hope is there

Not many left who stand behind her
Can truth survive in their hands
Dark stands the giant tower
Casts his shadows a'where

Lunacy now seizes power
No dissent left in the air

Try to see it
Hope to feel it
But no touch of hope left somewhere

Truth died in their liar towers
Who cares, no helping hand there
Unmasked they lost their power
But no white knight was there

This mental entropy
Disasters philosophy
And I realize there's no space left for hope

If certainties fusing like snowflakes
If words don't carry sense anymore
Who will dry the tears of tomorrow
And count all those tormented souls?

If moral becomes unsavory vicious
Than look around, they could be seduced
Sense this as a memory of tomorrow
Without a shadow of doubt,
Without a shadow of doubt!

03. A Colony Of Liar Men

"Let me get closer
Don't step by side
I a the owner
Of all that what's right"

Mental flatliners
Entered the stage
Loudmouth spills wisdom
Nailed as a lie

Inside a mirror
a stash you can not see
Obscure a message of what could be
Removed the wrapper
Had a look inside
Refused to believe what's layed down on this sides.

"You don't need our knowledge
'Cause awareness creates fear
All removed from college
Sold your consent to

Disobey - disobey - disobey

An idiot to the left of me
A moron to the right
Both they try convincing me
At least it feels not right"

What brought down this papers
Laying in those cases

Elegy?
Entropy?

Fragments of this words I found inside my mind

History?
Banality?
Further now
Anger grow

And for the first time I can see
They build the perfect enemy
That's me!

Deep odds with visions
No way to clarify
Confused by pictures of their destiny
Moral imperialism and no proof insight
Perdition wells up out of their lying loads

"The end is near the noctortel cried
All a lie the nut replied
Repent! Repent! The riffraff tried
No loud call to

Disobey

See, here comes the tick tack bee
You love it or you die
Be proud to pay another fee
Kneel down, he comes
The blessed, the pest, the best...."

Darkness of ignorance is no sign of live
Idiocy?
Density?
Insanity?
Foolery?
And once again it's time to see
They find their perfect enemy
That's me!

Their (o. the) rest of mind now totally blurred
Victims! Victims?
The spin of doctors narrate their truth
This echo room full of minds that loose

Liar men

Begging hard for overtone, blind deference
From his window out of side
Bishop framing feels so warmed inside

Liar men
No, no, no
Liar men
No, no, no

They can not convince me
Another way instead
Try to convince me

04. Landscape 2 - Waste Land

[Instrumental]

05. Mindeater

Tonight this world will be on fire
And I know you think this way
Audience will be there who will admire
They have been influenced so well

Marooned creeps are here for hire
Later on, than, they will obey
Overstuffed with public dire
There's nothing more left to say

What you are reaching for
Past have seen it all before
Seems that no one keeps in mind
The final result of more

Closed eyes and mostly blind
And therefor no enemy
Apocalyptic scenery
They will admire

We are

We are pilgrims
Gracious to distorted minds

We are

We are heroes
Merciful to those who are still blind

We are
Punishment of decadence

We are!

To rule all men is their desire
To burn their signs into the lands
They want to see us suffer
Dominating everywhere
Malice thrills the shimmering sky
And live ends up in a preachers lie

No light in agony
Cataclysm proofed before
A loss of harmony
Some few believe in more

All pray is misery
Fatal way to bigotry
Apocalyptic scenery
They wish to admire

Desire
No secret that they think this way
Only few can set the world on fire
And they had tamed you to well

Marooned creeps were there for hire
Later on, than, they will obey
Unified by desire
Their only wish is to see the earth burn

We are

We are shepards
Helpful to mental emptiness

We are

We are heroes
Merciful to those who are still blind

We are
Keepers of your endless fear

We are!

We are!

We are!

06. The Hollow Men

A yearning call I never identified before
Out of the dark, destined for me
Gets louder more and more
A look around, try to escape
But you don't know where to go

"Hear the call"
It sounds inside my head
"You are not like all"
Blandishing my soul
"See the fading star"
Got a sense of dread
"That's from where you are"
Droning echoes in my mind

Shouting silence
Glowing darkness
Final quiteness
Just imagined?

Sightless, unless eyes appear
Existence is illusion

Voices getting closer now
Resistance no solution
Fear is overwhelming me
The nightmare is not over

A shadow falls, a light appears
And suddenly here they are
Called themselves the hollow men
Beholders of the future
Twilight is getting closer now
My mind is full affusion

I can hear the distant call
A yearning just for me
Paralyzed, the storm is setting free
Shapes without a form I see
The colors disappear
A twilight comes
The light now fades away

A vibe, a call for more acceptance than before
Marooned by thoughts
I hear the voice now starts to tell me more
Cloaked in friendly words
I feel, they're puzzling my soul

"Acting for the dark"
It roars inside my head
"You can't fall apart"
Words that hurt my soul
"Remember what you are"
Got a sense of dread
"A creation of our art"
And emptiness spreads out

Shouting silence
Glowing darkness
Final quiteness
Fear arises

Sightless, unless eyes appear
These creatures are illusion
A whispering full of dark intense
Tries offering a solution
Avoid this place, keep far away
This warning may not be broken

The light fades out, they disappear
Like ghosts out of the far

Called themselves the hollow men
Beholders of the future
Can see this much clearer now
This all was no illusion

I can hear the distant call
A yearning just for me
Paralyzed, the storm is setting free
Shapes without a form I see
The colors disappear
A twilight comes
The light now fades away

The hollow men
The hollow men
The hollow men, hollow men, hollow..... men

07. Landscape 3 - Inharent

[Instrumental]

08. When All Hope Is Gone

Now, in the afterglow
Time's running up for them
And nothing left to say and feel
When all is gone
All is lost and nothing's won
Shattered pieces everywhere
Shards of their empire of greed

And only hollow ruins left
Witness of their deeds, come see
Ignorant and decadent
Their lives are doomed to slowly fade
And rot in time until there's nothing left
Of them, no song remains

In the abyss, into the void
Over the edge, only white noise
Deep into the dark star

Follow me down, follow me down
Follow me down deep in the void
Swelling mass is swallowing
Gravity is devouring
Antimatter is destiny
In the end all is startdust and gone

All is light, but slowly fades
A small white dot in eternity
Repeat!

Behold by stars, an other of them died
Just one of a billion lights
It does the same as all before
It eats your sins forevermore

Nothing will be saved or rescued
Nothing will remain
Nothing is what will be left
Nothing is the truth
Not a single grain of sand remains
In the tide of time

It's the end of the world
This is the end of all, the end of hope!
The end of it all

And so now tell me what did you say
So tell me what makes you important?
Why do you believe that you are star
You are just one of a trillion
A germ in this world

Of course this life is all you have
And your time span keeps you safe
From the moment that will end
The universe and all within

A small dimension you call home
Way too much you just don't know
And if I am honest with you now
The only thing that's left for you
Is hope

Life is not over yet!
Now in the afterglow...

09. A Farewell To Eternity

Fear is rising, there's no falling
Where no love is gone

Live - is a steady old stream
That is constantly watching us now
And all that, what was once loved and feared
Is now rotten and finally gone.

And you know, that I know what you want
And the end I can see
It has come

Time - is the final objector
Who surmount the resistance of all
And all of, what you have done and believed in
A teardrop in the ocean of time

And your heart know
That what felt so important
A facet of an eternal dream

Fear is rising, there's no falling
Where no love has gone
Fear is rising, there's no falling
Where no love has gone

And then, in the end
You will stand, and play your song

10. Landscape 4 - Pleasant Ground

[Instrumental]
