Tracks



01. Overworld

We've died a million times
But we are not the walking dead
So fucking far from gone
We jump around and bang our heads

We made our own way
And now we expect some wicked creds
But we will not be behave
We stop the ground and scream instead

Show me, don't tell me
Walk through the fire

We live as we do
To show the world what it could be
What's it means to you
There's a vision you can't see
Heroes of the seal
Don't just accept the way things are
Now which one are you, the driver or the car

We've died a million times
But we are not the walking dead
So fucking far from gone
We jump around and bang our heads

Show me, don't tell me
Walk through the fire

We live as we do
To show the world what it could be
What's it means to you
There's a vision you can't see
Heroes of the seal
Don't just accept the way things are
Now which one are you, the driver or the car

[Solo]

We live as we do
To show the world what it could be
What's it means to you
There's a vision you can't see
Heroes of the seal
Don't just accept the way things are
Now which one are you, the driver or the car

We live as we do
To show the world what it could be
What's it means to you
There's a vision you can't see
Heroes of the seal
Don't just accept the way things are
Now which one are you, the driver or the car

02. Need For Steve

We'll give you complete creative control

Conformity is tainted
By the mark of mediocrity
I never wanna be a statistic
Another life unmade and put into the ground

I will live forever
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven
I will leave my mark right here on earth instead

Don't bother with the jilted
I cast my ripples in eternity
Prepare to count me more than once
As I echo on in future minds

I will be forever
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven
I will live my life right here on earth instead

So many under the sun
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun
A million miles 'til I'm done
A million miles 'til I'm done

[Solo]

I will be forever
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven
I will live my life right here on earth instead

I will be forever
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven
I will live my life right here on earth instead

So many under the sun
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun
A million miles 'til I'm done

So many under the sun
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun
A million miles 'til I'm done
A million miles 'til I'm done

03. Edge And Pearl

I'm infinite, beyond a doubt
No piece of shit's gonna take me out
And I will not rest until this hell race is over
And the lights go out

I only do just what I believe in
Don't battle my enemies
I have not a sinister heart
But a mind at peace

Be my prize, don't go, don't leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don't close your eyes
Not before tonight

I live for this, and I cite my pride
Now is the time when to pick a side
'Cause you'll have forever to remember this moment
And how you were denied

I only do what I have to, to win
To wake up our species
I have not a sinister heart
But a mind at peace

Be my prize, don't go, don't leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don't close your eyes
Not before tonight

Do you fear that it's no use
That if you fight you'll only lose what little you have?
Or don't you know enough to be afraid?
So this is what you choose?
Fucking silence and abuse? No R 4 U!
Just go back to sleep and die a tool!

[Solo]

Be my prize, don't go, don't leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don't close your eyes
Not before tonight

Be my prize, don't go, don't leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don't close your eyes
Not before tonight

04. Radio Future

Can you sense our somewhat misaligned
Attention spans, uninterested minds
Feels like only white noise on the air
A substance without meaning
Who are we? And why should we believe?

(Lost inside, lost inside, lost inside)

How much more of this can you contain?
Why is it, your head feels like a drain?
But you don't have to be an end-link in this chain
Become our counter-culture
Broadcast yourself into the revolution on YouTube

I don't wanna know, kill the radio
I will find my own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below, with the antidote
I wanna see the underground rise up and soar

Sick of pimps and bland generic blondes
And poser wannabe fake rocker spawns
Come now be your own media whore
Become our counter-culture
Unleash yourself between the generation and the scene

It's the way to go, kill the radio
Time to make your own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below, with the antidote
I wanna see the underground rise up and soar

[Solo]

I don't wanna know, kill the radio
I will find my own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below, with the antidote
I wanna see the underground rise up and...

It's the way to go, kill the radio
Time to make your own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below, with the antidote
I wanna see the underground rise up and soar

05. Skin

In the corner of your eye
I can see into your mind
A shadow beneath your smile
Something hidden deep inside
Silently you wait for someone to see you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left the lies like scars underneath your skin
The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

And you gaze up at the sky
As the clouds are passing by
And you wonder for a while
What it would be like to die
Silently you wish for someone to save you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left their lies like scars underneath your skin
The one you're hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

[Solo]

But you want to be alive
As the self-loathing subsides
And you will not be denied
So you push their lies aside
Violently you burn for someone to feel you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left their lies like scars underneath your skin
The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

06. Truth Of Tomorrow

Are you one of the marching undead
Or do you deviate like me?
Don't speak there's someone else in your head
Oh you are not alone!

Walls are raised while we sleep
To see us through our end
Closing til we are never
Alone ever again

A screen, across your eyes
When covered by those who decide
The ones behind the lies
In the truth of tomorrow!

They already know how to find you
And soon enough through your eyes see
And they will use it all to bind you
Until we're mindless drones!

Walls are raised while we sleep
To see us through our end
Closing til we are never
Alone ever again

A screen, across your eyes
When covered by those who decide
The ones behind the lies
In the truth of tomorrow!

[Solo]

Am I willing to be seized
And turned into a plant
The shit beneath my skin
Ready to be scanned
Am I merely a supply
Meeting some demand?
A special order by (?)
It's someone's master plan!

Walls are raised while we sleep
To see us through our end
Closing til we are never
Alone ever again

A screen, across your eyes
When covered by those who decide
The ones behind the lies
In the truth of tomorrow!

A screen, across your eyes
When covered by those who decide
The ones behind the lies
In the truth of tomorrow!

A screen, across your eyes
When covered by those who decide
The ones behind the lies
In the truth of tomorrow!

07. Dark City

I can feel the fire deep inside, its burning brighter
With but a raised fist and my pride, I sway
To the beat of our decay, the horsemen on their way
And in this mob a crescent line to hide behind

Here in and of the dark
Our city, its streets and walls
Here we live, we are
Inside our homes and malls

I walk across the dead train yard
Remembering who we are
I look inside and in my heart
We're never far apart

I can see the mountain over me, the serpent hollow
The silent fortress underneath, I sway
To the beat of our decay, the light of other days
And fireside the black island, the toxic sand

Dancing city lights
Glowing against the sky
Snowing, shimmering
Shine dust in our eyes

I walk across the dead train yard
Remembering who we are
I look inside and in my heart
We're never far apart

And in the yellow belvedere
I carve my name without fear
A witness to the birth of me
This garden of concrete

[Solo]

I walk across the dead train yard
Remembering who we are
I look inside and in my heart
We're never far apart

And in the yellow belvedere
I carve my name without fear
A witness to the birth of me
This garden of concrete

08. Conveyer

These endless isles of commercial piles
With millions of items for miles and miles
Sometimes I suddenly
Feel like my own worst enemy

I can't help but wonder
Somewhere in this place
Are we all just on display

And everywhere I see machines spewing out
Our violated dreams and
And finally I cannot breathe
I cry out, but who will hear my screams?

I steer clear of my peers
Stampeding humans are everywhere
Sometimes I suddenly
Feel like my own worst enemy

I can't help but wonder
Somewhere in this place
Are we all just on display

And everywhere I see machines spewing out
Our violated dreams and
And finally I cannot breathe
I cry out, but who will hear my screams?
Who will hear me?

[Solo]

And everywhere I see machines spewing out
Our violated dreams and
And finally I cannot breathe
I cry out, but who will hear my screams?

And everywhere this factory
Just goes on
Into eternity
I know I've fallen in too deep
I cry out, but who will hear my screams?
Who will hear me?

09. Gimme More (sid)

(It's Machinae Supremacy, bitch)

Everytime they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you
Public display of affection
Feels like no one else in the room (But you)

We can get down like there's no one around
We keep on rockin' (We keep on rockin')
We keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')

Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin'
Keep watchin
Feels like the crowd is saying

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Center of attention
Even when they're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position
If you're on a mission
You got my permission

We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin'
We'll keep on rockin', rockin'

Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (Wait)
Keep watchin
(Feel's like the crowd is saying)

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

[Solo]

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Mo')
Gimme gimme more

10. Violator

Close your eyes and just ignore that
It's wrong what you believe
What better way to be devout
And we're down in a sacramental structure boys and girls
Just shut the door on your way out!

You think to be the master thief
On torture and pain
No room for logic or debate
In God's domain

God you're young the way
In she should only what you know to be
God's honest truth and and that's the pie
What you teach is so impossible
You cannot trust the world
Tonight then listen and watch

How pitiful this land of yours
Where free thought is feared
And if you isolate and force
Your children to revere

[Solo]

Close your eyes and just ignore that
It's wrong what you believe
What better way to be devout
And we're down in a sacramental structure boys and girls
Just shut the door on your way out!

No-one will stand in the way of your bastard parade
What the heck full of fear it will come to your aid?
Even the youngest have a place in your crusade
There is no defiance there when you invade

You think to be the master thief
On torture and pain
(When end of creation the truth now will reign)
No room for logic and debate
In your domain

11. Sid Icarus

Say can you feel the thunder
In the air?
Just like the moment for it is
That is everywhere

What is this spell we're under
Do you care?
The mighty rise above it is
Now within your snare

At most anyone you are
A god beneath the sun
But if that's the sun
You are not the only one

You can do what you like
You can fly
You can die
And ask why?

Do you recall the hour
It came to be?
That single moment in your life
When you broke the dream

And with the awful power
Of disbelief
You rise above the evil deed
And are forced to breathe

Why don't you?
Why don't we?

[Solo]

Say can you feel the thunder
In the air
Just like the moment for it is
That is everywhere

What is this spell we're under
Do you care?
The mighty rise above it is
Now within your snare

At most anyone you are
A god beneath the sun
But if that's the sun
You are not the only one

You can do what you like
You can fly
You can die
And ask why?

Why don't you?
Why don't we?

Why don't you?
Why don't we?

12. Stand

We stand by our ways
It is not just a game that we play

Now you have forced our hand
Right here we make our stand
These walls can't keep us in
(No matter what has been)
This fire burns under my skin

Our gift to a world in need
A soundtrack for the brand new breed
Never before did you see
Throughout all of history
Such a rebel force, an army
Of little freaks

Now you have forced our hand
Right here we make our stand
These walls can't keep us in
(No matter what has been)
This fire burns under my skin!

Why have we fallen?
How could we fail?
Always?

Time stop you corporate whores
We reinvented the art of war
Never before did you see
Such an underground victory
Such a rebel force, an army
Of little freaks

Now you have forced our hand
Right here we make our stand
These walls can't keep us in
(No matter what has been)
This fire burns under my skin

Why have we fallen?
How could we fail?
Always?

All lies are believable
Even the ones we are never
Told

Now you have forced our hand
Right here we make our stand
These walls can't keep us in
(No matter what has been)
This fire burns under my skin

Now you have forced our hand
Right here we make our stand
These walls are about to fall
Prepare for total recall
A revolution burns within us all
