All was settled from the start
Immaculate and pure I invited chaos to stain, defile And purity was no more Demise of the crown, hereditary prince I stand by the gate of what is not The castle now has turned To a hole in the ground Free fall. Bad gods glare at me From the horizon line These gods are for real But maybe not omniscient creators. I live in a fantasy And when I dream, let me dream And never wake me up again. Choke on guilt Near death experience And I can not see The light at the end of the tunnel. Al that was is again Those I let down have forgiven me Once more they have faith in me All I was I am again Reborn, I am a child It's but a dream and I hate myself. All was settled from the start... There's a future looking bright There's hope, I've got the strength I've go a life And a talent for irony. All is dead All is over Bury me under a stone With no inscription! 03. Entropy Within
Under fire, we're at war!
Information is colliding With our great intentions And distracting our flow of energy We are enslaved By fear, rage, pain and jealousy Incarnations of chaos Rule our mind, kill our aspirations. Let's not fight ourselves! But the entropy ruling our minds It's a fight for our lives A strife to take control of our perception Fight! Keep fighting the enemies within, Fighting the entrop within. Key to unlock the treasury: Concentratrion undisturbed State where body and mind unite Time fades and we're filled with euphoria. Fight! Keep fighting the enemies within, Fighting the entropy within. 04. Dance to the Song of Apathy
Let's walk in a line
Let's do what the person in front of us does Believ in what he believes Let's forget our identity So that we can assume no responsibility For our lives And the choices that we make Or never make. Let us become one With the bloodless crowds Consequently, let us throw away our lives. [Q:] "Where are you leading me?" [A:] "Where are you leading me?" The leader you follow is a follower too In a round dance gone astray! There's no beginning and there is no end to it Join the round dance to the song of apathy (Not fully awake... sleepwalk hand in hand). You could have been a god But we are keeping each other in place Cling to the hand in front of us To the submissive we submit And we assume no responsibility For our lives And the choices that we make Or never make. Let us become on... Your future os dpp,ed If you only do what you're expected to Depart from the beaten track Maybe the blind will see But follow neither you nor me They'll refuse to dance to the song of apathy. So, where are you leading me? The leader you follow is a follower too... 05. Sewerages of the Mind
Torment, hatred, calamity
I've strived to overcome, for years A recollection, I would like to believe As a faded water-mark Is The only thing that remains Instead of deep imprints of pain. Human brain, what a powerful device Capacity we can't believe, can't conceieve What's erased can always be retrieved. All the pain drained from my mind In violent streams ran underground Where it arrived it putrefied Sewerages Rotted for life Sewerages. Human brain, what a powerful device Capacity we can't believe, can't conceive What's erased will always be. Years have passed and rivers of hate I have tried to dam But the way you treated me Made me who I am My hands were clean But you pissed upon my soul Before I can be born again I will have to explode. Vermin, bacteria, putrefaction The sewege of the mind shall prevail Because every cesspool needs an outflow And if it should be blocked the sewage finds new ways. Now the time has finally arrives Erupted Pipes are goping to blow Get in the way and you'll be crushed Drown and become one With the sewage of the mind. All the pain drained from mind... 06. Built on Sand
Diagrams, blueprints, sketches are drawn
Infinite calculations so accurate Lines, circles, angles, images are linked To perfection be combined! Feverish movements to fulfill the plan Frantic operation, sweat breaks on your brow Foundations of a new world are soon to be seen As soon as the old one has been crushed. Castles, built in the air. Powered by merely strength fo will Bulldozers follow pulling down machines Any remnant of the obsolete Is soon to be crushed into dust A new civilization is to be built upon The steaming tombs of forefathers Silent, choked, they are meant to be In their coffins for eternity. Castles, built on sand. Oh you dream, oh your dream! Valid are no scientific rules The undead will take revenge Coffins will arise, buildings fall to the ground The new vilization is now to decay Blueprints to scorn your defeat will remain Learn that inside is where to excavate Or anything you build will be burnt down by hate. 07. Under the Debris
Collapsing are the walls
that used to protect me Ground under my feet cracks My universe is imploding Since my star died. Or was it me that ceased to burn? A black hole Is what's left of my world Now crushed Solid, as compressed A chaos attracting chaos I run but can not flee I carry this core inside of me. Under the debris There's still life but for how long? I Hear no rescue squads. They can't hear my silent screams Or does this have to be; I deserve to die? Mi9s-grown fate can't be stopped It's harvest-time And I did invite The Reaper To help me with the crop. I used to be an observing satellite Sent here without a task Collecting images That I'd never supply. When a lost satellite Crashes and burns No one cries We only know our own world And can't do otherwise I blame no one But wish that I, on this ship Had dared to believe The navigator has always been me. Under the debris There's still life but for how long? I hear no rescue squads They can't hear my silent screams. 08. The Drowning
I feel like I'm about to drown
It feels like I have sunk too deep The mask of water over me, Pushing me down Has now become too burdensome To overcome. I'm trying hard to see the sun But from this angle The surface reflects only The bottom of the sea. At times, I feel I'd like to stop Holding my breath and just exhale And let the water fill my lungs To drown is said to be A pleasant way to die Maybe if I just let go Of my burden I'll eventually Approach the surface And drift downstream And once again see The fire of the sun. Again I try to see the sun But from this angle The surface reflects only The bottom of the sea. Oxygen fails me but I hold my breath I swim and try to reach the shore Swim under water, maybe in vain For I have almost lost my will to live. When I have lost my will to live And my body is weak Then carry me, please carry me When my eyes are tired Be my star Shine for me Shine for me my precious sun. 09. Leaving the Spirit Behind
Did you ever feel
It's like you're hanging over an abyss Your hands are tied, You can't break loose You're still hanging Only because your teeth Have grasped the outermost twig of life. The only that keeps you from falling Is that you keep your teeth clenched Your body can struggle But you just can't scream You know you'd be crushed Hitting the floor of reality You suffer on and feel Soon you're about to give in. Do you assume a reality Existing without our perception I don't believe it is so The notion of reality is just a conception Created by senses and mind Leaving the spirits behind. If you view reality As existing without the persistence of minds Then keeping teeth clenched May be what is right But if reality is created by you Realize This image can also be modified. I'm speaking of bringing the ground Closer to your feet Reducing the distance between You and reality perceived Let go and land in this image Of your consciousness Ready to reconstruct. Do you assume a reality... 10. Any Kind of Magic or Miracle
"Again I offer you my life
Lay down my heart at your feet But if you accept this offering Some obligations will have to be fulfilled. Remember to worship no other deity Leave your earth's steady ground Pledge allegiance to my gravity To Mother Venus be forever bound". Three-legged amphibian with coin in mouth Save me from this wicked dream Any kind of magic or miracle I welcome to redeem my being. "You must promise not to invoke the rain! Through my walls detect just inaudible storms Even before they are gathering". Her thoughts have been heard in my words Now the ivory goddess Is sitting small on my table Offering me this heart of clay. It took too long time to decipher their message Soft heart was trampled in the mud Storm crushed the ark Only wreckage to hold on to in the floo. Three-legged amphibian with coin in mouth. Any kind of magic or miracle Any kind of magic or miracle. |
