Tracks



01. Protoplaston

The plan is newly formed
New breed appears, out of control
Just like a God
Showing its skill, its craft unfold
It makes life, giving breath
In tubes of glass, it bottles death
Inventing life
Sequence on screen, it fills the void

You form your sons at will
Pure blood, strong, at your liking
From the void, offspring born
What a subtle game, where will it end?

Species unknown and newly born
Hungering for massive overkill
Encoding DNA
Promethean conscience is dead

Chorus:
Protoplaston: the first one ever made
Protoplaston: out of the mud you're shaped
(and in the mould you're strained)

02. All Flesh And Smoke

Opium for the mass

On this altar red, I promise peace of mind
I pray, your souls are fed, the way of truth you find
I am the Word of God, those who could see are blind
Marching to the fields of bliss, marching upon a field of mines
March on!

Lift up the rotten skin and find my lies in there
Clear up the veil of smoke and see there's nothing there

Chorus
Flesh for me
Smoke in the air
Flesh is here
I'm all flesh and smoke
Flesh! Smoke! Flesh! I'm all flesh and smoke

Pull up the rotten skin to show the tricks of mine
Opium for the masses is still the law they claim
A man all dressed in white and the knife in my hand
A man in tears at war and a prayer in his heart

03. Spit

Anger, hatred, scorn and pride
All be washed under my tide
Treason, offence, all the lies
I'll starve your kind of all light

Patience, help and mercy
None of them, can you see
None of them I've ever felt

Cold sweat, headache, heat in guts
I damn the day of your birth
Ash to ash and dust to dust
I damn your name in disgust

Patience, help and mercy
None of them, can you see
None of them I've ever felt

Payback, revenge born anew
Watch them starve because of you
Anger, hatred, scorn and pride
I spit my rage on your lives

Fear my eye will crush your bones
Feel my wrath, for you alone
Payback's near be sure of that
Feel your faults, your life is caught
Fear my hand, it grabs your throat
Payback's here, you're in command

04. Ego

You play your part in innocence
What was before is your good conscience
Give us the chance to live, to grow
Give us your light
Dressed as a sheep you hide a wolf
Act for yourself despite us all
Swelled with pride, fueled with scorn
Face up your faults

Chorus:
Cry to be saved while you prepare
The downfall of your kin
Smile on your lips to ease the pain
Then start again
Trick our treat our kind
Our foolish naïve minds
You take your chance at vice
You play it nice

Bridge:
When you gave life was it for us
Did you give life to get it back

05. Exit The Line

We deal our way with our misery
He's still looking for supremacy
Light will tell when all is over

Ain't strong enough to endure the blast
We test the time - never know at last
Run to be the fastest mover

Bridge:
New attempt to avoid the aim
Next attempt to exit the line

Chorus:
Light shines down
Brings the guilt
Lose - search - drown
Time to forget
Light shines down
Conscience born
Lust so dead
End all the way

We pay our token to controversy
We know the path to our majesty
Left the corpse on which you may pace

We leave you here, journey to our past
He burns the eye with it, way too fast
Flee from him, fallen from grace

06. Share The Bane

Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up! Now it's?

?time to lift our heads
We got a chance to play and place the bet
Burn with conscience in
Let loose the reason that we're 'bout to?

Chorus:
?share the bane, it burns inside, consumes our minds
Share the flame. Will we take the bane to be burnt in your bloody sunlight?

Bridge:
Light you bring, bring for us
Bane you gave, gave for?

?You: It is your aim
The feeble kind of yours that is to blame
Flame to brand your name
On everybody's skin and teach us to?

Bridge:
Light you bring, bring for us
Never fear: do it now
Light you brought, brought for us
Never fear: do it now
Light you bring, bring for us
Bane you gave, gave for you
Bring the flame to quench our thirst to light us all to bring the flame
Never fear? Never doubt? Never fear? Now!

Now we choose our guide
We're still looking for a path to go
What have you brought
A blessing or just a poisoned gift you?

07. The Eye

First step before the end of men
Last step in the line and I'll take the flame
The spark they all have longed in fear
The blaze appears
Science as well as new Faith I bring
This torch ablaze for the human beings
The gift that makes you know it all
Planet earth you hold

In the eye of all you're still alive
In the eye of all of us you're still a lie
For the sake of all you still defy
In the eye of all of yours you'll be tried

Chorus:
Fade! Never be known at all
Ever heed the call
In the eye so blind, again again
Pray! Then you lose control
Progress in the fall
In the eye so blind again again

I spread disease, don't heed the please, on and on and on
A foul taste of freedom as someone else guides your way

Recede the doubt and reject the past
Access to your age, accept it fast
Regenerate your brand new realm
Rebuild identity
The lies it hides, the truth it shows
No difference, go just as it goes
You tread on a path still unknown to you
The path for you

08. Chemical

Rapid fire, a fix to heal and cure
The illness of this place
The cancer of this age
Let this day be a dream, let this ground be your real? grave
Let the planes burn the field let's sell peace in metal pills

Chorus:
Walk down the line
And taste the final ride

Disinfect, exterminate
With surgical precision, military solution
Let this fight be your last, let this time be your past
Lead the lines along the dike, lead the men onto the mines

The time has come to fight against the pains of life and wars
And the time is here for us to show as good as fierce we are
Enter now a place where pains have disappeared
Watching now a field where life won't reappear

09. Pandora

A golden stare, a perfect glance, feel a tide of lust
White limbs and her pale reflection, taste the flow of emotions
She is the blessing that we long expected
Now lose all your senses in the smell of ecstasy
The crystal voice the world will hear, the sound of bliss
Shines bright for all to see, shines bright for all to see

Chorus:
One by one they creep and crawl
See the flies dripping on her skin
One by one they creep and crawl
Bringing plague on their buzzing wings

Lust is the curse that will let lose all our pains
She is the gift all dressed in white and gold
She hides the vile beneath all virtues told
The retard's love it is to blame
Pandora's hand to bring all fear and death
Open the box and free all that we dread
All diseases that they have bred
All diseases inside the box

Death's coming forth with all its kin
With a dreadful buzzing sound
Then fear is here with fix black eyes
See hunger and despair unleashed too

Anger, envy, sadness and woe
And hope is still kept inside
Fear, hunger, plague and death
And hope is forever trapped inside the box

Too late to stop them now?

This is the gift all dressed in white
This is Pandora's hand to bring all fear
This is the screaming plague on buzzing wings
This is the creeping curse on her skin

10. Wastelands

Storm from above, fire from the gods
So long denied the human kind
Now sweeps your cell, now burns your flesh
Feel your doom as we've had ours
Storm from above, may it bring an end
Still denied the untamed one
It fills your cell, it eats your flesh
Burden is as yours as ours

Tall pillar at the end of the world
The chains that bind your hands
See your pain on these black wings
Sentenced to a lifelong end

Everyday it feels the same
In these places in guilt and shame
Pray for mercy, pray for peace
Pray for revenge, you won't be freed

Chorus:
Step in the shadows
Walk in the wastelands
Feast on your flesh
Die for our deeds

Prison walls 'til the end of your days
The bars that bind your life
See your end in this needle
Sentenced to a useless death

Everyday it's just the same
Trapped inside you scream in vain
This day, the next? When will it come
You keep waiting, your judge has gone

Bridge:
Storm from above, fire from the Gods
Caught in the wastelands. Wait for your judge in Neverland
Storm from above, chains in your hands
Caught in the wastelands. Walking your way to gallows pole

Storm from above raging all around
And still no end for you to find
Victimised, our alibi
We all call for quick revenge

Electric chair at the end of the way
The guilt that burns your mind
Feel we care for you no more
Sentenced to be rotting alone

Everyday you pray in vain
Will your time wash your hands
Fear the steps around your cell
Count the hours till all have passed
