Tracks



02. Snowbound

(Far separated from its winter
A blizzard would rage for one day
While strong men fought the uneven battle
The wind poured out its pain and dismay)

Wait for the anger to subdue itself
You don't have the strength to change it
Like tossed from above without warning
A fistful of ice swiftly stunned him

A voice was heard "You're gonna fly! Guess you can say your last prayer. But I won't let you go. You're gonna fly. Fooled by the undertow."

Snowbound
Boy embraced to death by cold hands of winter
Never had a chance to say goodbye

(As quickly as it had unfolded
The blizzard deceased after taking its toll)

Damage was done when they came to aid
He was cold as the snow he lay upon
As he fought to survive
His struggles carved in snow
Almost angelic.

"You're gonna fly! Snowbound and dressed all in white, but your spirit will rise. You're gonna fly. Embark on excursion demise."

Snowbound
Boy embraced to death by cold hands of heaven
Never had a chance to say goodbye
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Snowbound
Boy embraced to death by the cold hands of heaven
Never had a chance to say goodbye
Snowbound
Boy embraced to death by the cold hands of heaven
Never had a chance to say goodbye
Say goodbye

Left a sea of questions
Left a crowd in grief

03. Waking Hour

I saw them coming in a haze from afar
The distant rumbling, we thought this meant war
Fled to Sector X The pitch black blinded me
Silence was deafening as the hours went by
Resistance was futile, blood will fill the sky
And there was still enough time to flee

Echo my name, I know you're in here
Show me the way
Through the streets of anguish
You know the game
Survival from our judgment day

Waking hour!
Heaven, take my hand

Our entrails were burning on this day of wrath
Still no one was leaving, still walking the path
Be all my sins remembered, as there will be no more
The first hit echoed walls would not suffice
The darkness splintered by the light of starry eyes
Soon the heavens open up its doors

Echo my name, I know you're in here
Show me the way
Through the streets of anguish
You know the game
Survival from our judgment day

Waking hour!
Heaven, show your face!
Take my power
I'm unworthy of your grace

Surrender to the lord on high
We're all guilty
The incredible work is wrecked
We've been to blind to see

Waking hour!
Heaven, take my hand
Take my power
I'm unworthy of your grace
Waking hour!
Heaven, take my hand

04. Andromeda Unchained

Moving in to possess
The kingdom of long ago
Perfect host for our dream

Run, boy, run
And eat your way through
To the heart of mainframe stream
Turn off and let us in

This is the beginning
Great improvement to your empty world
Can't help laughing

It's a sinister display
Of disorder and decay
You've been taken in and restrained
Andromeda unchained

We were outcast from the stars
Soldiers of a different time
Separating the structure from within

Forged ahead
We face the door to control
The lives of those
Who so cruelly turned against us

This is the beginning
Great improvement to your empty world
Repossessing

It's a sinister display
Of disorder and decay
You've been taken in and restrained
Andromeda unchained

You chained the stars to your advantage
And standardized our minds
A make believe world of order
Exposure's due, supernova!
Your reign is over

This is the beginning
Great improvement to your empty world
Reconstructing

This elaborate display
Of disorder and decay
You've been taken in and restrained
Andromeda unchained

06. Beyond Redemption

The world's beneath me
The papers of tomorrow
I foresee the name of the game
No hesitation
No complication
All and sundry knows my name

Behold!
I've the strength to survive
I believe I'll derive your every thought from you
Observe, watch and learn
Do you feel the same
Or are you left behind
Reach inside your mind

At my disposal the key to equilibrium
Anywhere
Combing powers
Of cerebral matters
Enter a godlike heir

Beware!
I've the strength to survive
I believe I'll derive your every thought from you
Observe, watch and learn
Do you feel the same
Or are you left behind
Reach inside your mind

Behold!
I've the strength to survive
I believe I'll derive your every thought from you
Observe, watch and learn
Do you feel your inmost thoughts
Are changing minds
I'll drain you from behind

I'm a king beyond redemption
And all mankind
Shall taste my cruel passion
I'll create a thoughtworld
Upon your minds
And call it my home

07. Resurrection Time

Pale behind the door
I'm doomed to follow
The road to nevermore
On a quest to seek my sorrow

But the steps are upside down
With no banisters to cling on to
I fall without a sound
Through massive halls within you

Pictures of past days discourage my mind
I can no longer tell real from designed

Far from the bottom I'm ready to burn
But fate won't relieve me
From what I must learn

You stayed too long to fight the game
Of passion, war and crime
A self obsessive dream remained
It's resurrection time

Your eyes turn to stone
As I throw the light upon you
Stripped down to the bone
On the path between true and untrue

The answer's loud and clear: we are different dimensions
Flesh will always fear
Bodies with no tensions
Pictures within you will guide you to see
Your whole creation was taken from me

Trusting your false intuition was right
Came to a bitter conclusion tonight

You stayed too long to fight the game
Of passion, war and crime
A self obsessive dream remained
It's resurrection time

09. This White Storm Through My Mind

In these rare moments
I feel history
I feel it coming
These waves

This white storm through my mind
Chromed numbness
Determined, here I am

Tired to the bone
Ignition sequence have started. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

In this sole emptiness
Before the promises
Before the maggots
I caught your eyes for seconds

This white storm through my mind
Chromed numbness
Determined, here I am

Homo erectus
Sapiens
Destructus
Shallow mind, hollow heart

This white storm through my mind
Chromed numbness
Determined, here I am

Strive to reach
Stop at nothing
Strive to reach
Stop at nothing
Evolution illusion

10. The Final Overture

Exhausted and frail is my mind
At the end of my tether I find
This burning sign
A tale from ancient times
When we used to dream
Of eliminating crimes

Annoying as it seems
We had it all and more
Regardless of winters
We can't ignore

The Earth is due for closure
The final overture
Will destroy the break of day
And we've no prayers left to say
Predictable and sure
The final overture
Ominous and obscure
The final overture

The well of resources ran dry
As we celebrated
Loudly to drown out the cry
Dread it or be dead

Thought-obsessed we thought
In a future scene
We might bring ourselves to naught
In this God-made guillotine

It's too late to rectify
This grand exploitation
We can't deny

The earth is due for closure
The final overture
Will destroy the break of day
And we've no prayers left to say
Predictable and sure
The final overture
Ominous and obscure
The final overture

The earth is due for closure
The final overture
Will destroy the break of day
And we've no prayers left to say
Predictable and sure
The final overture
Ominous and obscure
The final overture

The earth is due for closure
The final overture
Will destroy the break of day
And we've no prayers left to say
And there's no prayer left to say
Bye.

11. Take Me Home

Welcome to the city of delusion
To the land of your dreams
Now I know that behind these walls
Nothing's what it seems
Children on their bones

You can take me home
I don't want to live here no more!
You can take me home

I can't walk the streets alone at night
Cause tensions of fear
Emerge from everywhere
Worlds at war
No one knows who's right and what it's for
No one seems to care

You can take me home!
I don't want to live here no more!
You can take me home
So you can take me home!
Take me home

12. Point of No Concern

Take her away
She's had a fit of remembrance once again
Hold her still, you know the drill
We're losing control
If we can't enforce our present regulations

Make the prescribed preparations
Nowhere you can hide
Kept under surveillance
Whatever you decide
You got no independence

The fear we knew won't return
The point of no concern
The fear we knew won't return

Cast from side to side
In a cold machinery
Erasing pain from history
Careless memories
Now ready to be restored

In your mind
Nowhere you can hide
Kept under surveillance
Whatever you decide
You got no independence

The fear we knew won't return
The point of no concern
The fear we knew won't return

Back to "reality"
Recreated, safe and sound
Take a seat, enjoy the ride
With new identity
In familiar surroundings yet unknown
To her mind

The fear we knew won't return
No concern
The fear we knew won't return

13. The End Of Millenium Road

All ready!
Time has come to enter
The kingdom of glory
Journey we've waited for

Prediscovered entrance
Far into the future
There foreseen: the early premonition

End of all we know
Dice with death and blood will flow
This was a game of chance
A cruel life romance
Earth is old and frail
Waiting only to exhale
Retaliation for years
Of misuse and devastation

This is the end of millennium road
Standing at the end of millennium road
Standing at the end
This is the end of millennium road

Steep climbing
As company's approaching
What we determine
This moment is crucial
Decide!
Face the strength in anger
Or flee before ignition
History has taught us
Life has no guarantee

Caged like mother's womb
We escape this day of doom
On intergalactic streams
We travel in dreams
Safe and sound we'll rise
From the ashes of demise
Blessed with the powers to heal
Through a new orders coming

This is the end of millennium road
Standing at the end of millennium road
Standing at the end
This is the end of millennium road

Weightless afloat in a distant sky
With wistful gesture we say goodbye
Implosion occasioned
Billions of habitants cry

Every ocean was burning
Heaven roared from blood red skies

Up running
Our liquid inner systems
Watching the battle of doubtful identity
Displayed
Destination typed in
With confidence we enter
Dimension B
The source of alternate energy

Caged like mother's womb
We escaped this day of doom
On intergalactic streams
We travel in dreams
Safe and sound we'll rise
From the ashes of demise
Blessed with the powers to heal
Through a new orders coming

This is the end of millennium road
Standing at the end of millennium road
Standing at the end
This is the end of millennium road
