Gone
The last few ones I was depending on
Shut down by eternal commandments
That keep on upgrading themselves as you go along

For all it's worth we gave 'em a fight
We constantly sought for alternative views
But it's hard to come out of the cage as the winner
When none of your swings have a chance to come through

Adjusting
Adjusting to things we know nothing about
They call it progress
I call it the easy way out

This is not a revenge
But merely a consequence
Life devoted
To causal relation

And if you can't comprehend
Cannot see what has triggered this burst of emotion
I'm sorry, but I'm out of moves by now
Roll the credits and let the curtain come down

Introducing yourself with a crowbar in hand
It's all about first impressions
Marking territory - do not cross the line
Something will have to give

I feel like I'm filling the same forms
Again and again and you're all to blame
It's time for these obsolete minds
To be taken over

Let these scars be reminders
Of knowing your place
It's time for these obsolete minds
To be taken over

When you lose the first round
You call yourself reborn
Do you know what you do
If you can't understand what it will gain?
A point blank
Refusal of forgiveness
For deliberate indifference

Injury self-inflicted

Your face is covered
Still I know you're alive
There's an alien in your mind
And the heaven is harder to find
Perfectly supreme
I'm your frequent despair

See how fast I take your place, your form
I will prevail
I will remain
Actuating something that's always been there
Presence outshined
You've been made disabled

Try to run from what's within

Your face is covered
Still I know you're alive
There's an alien in your mind
And the heaven is harder to find
Perfectly supreme
I'm your frequent despair

I think today might be the day
We'll see it all go down
Jesters taking over
Kings separated from their crowns
And if that is the case
I'll join the crowd, lead the parade
Look back nine years from now
And see the damage that we've made

For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed
For those against me - your name is ailing

I think today might be the day
We'll see it all go down
Jesters taking over
Kings separated from their crowns
And if that is the case
I'll join the crowd, lead the parade
Look back nine years from now
And see the damage that we've made

For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed
For those against me - your name is ailing

No, don't tell me it's the thought that counts
That saying is for those who misfired each one of their rounds
Now mark my words
I'll raise the bar
I'll walk the mile
I've just begun

For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed
For those against me - your name is ailing

Go - and leave yourself behind
Pride - a useless state of mind
On your knees, hands to the heavens
Tear it down, start again, make it last this time

It will not be easy
Most likely you'll never succeed
The fall of all that's to be
Not for all but for one

A view to put things to perspective
Not pleasant but surely effective
Where to go with the wishes rejected
Lies defected, despair injected

Barking through life, leaving biting for others
Oblivious to the filth that it gathers
Pushed and delayed and now it's too late
Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says

Done - this one is done
White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones
Don't - don't you tread on me
This one was simply not to be

A view to put things to perspective
Not pleasant but surely effective
Where to go with the wishes rejected
Lies defected, despair injected

Barking through life, leaving biting for others
Oblivious to the filth that it gathers
Pushed and delayed and now it's too late
Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says

Done - this one is done
White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones
Don't - don't you tread on me
This one was simply not to be

To come out from the other side with no regrets
To feel that these scars belong to someone else
To still be standing when you're hearing the bells
Un-fucking likely

No time to read the small print
Wouldn't understand it anyhow
A plague roams here among us
Time to repent your choice is now

When was the wrong turn taken?
How was it missed by all?
Like many times before
The rush shall be our fall

The rush shall be our fall

Great white mentality
Upgraded skin decease
Two-thirds in front of me
Far from serenity

I will not play ball to this organized corrosion
I will not be part of your hypocrite devotion

Upholding discipline with fear
Tell us the words we want to hear
Smooth operating through
The never-ending disintegration

Blood-lunged, yelling warnings and prophecies
Pure hate taking it's toll
Time and time again
The rush shall be our fall

The sound of silence long gone
Still we keep tuning in
Nailed up against the wall
For anyone to get a piece
Cut down to size
Yet still the first to bite the hand that feeds
There'll come a time
You'll have to do without the fear you breed

You win the prize for being the first one
I wash the blisters off my hands
Because and in spite of this breed
Nothing remains excluded
No difficult choices made
The silence, the silence will reach you

Tempted by your core
Cease to be, cease to live
Tempted by your core
Devoted to peel - denying to feel

Exit granted
Feel the tension
Now step out of this dimension
Inwards growing intention

A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed

Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less

Everything sinking through the skin of your feet
While standing on the splinters of your past
Serving you fate or serving your will?
Not that it ever made a difference
For you are and will endure ill

Tempted by your core
Cease to be, cease to live
Tempted by your core
Devoted to peel - denying to feel

Exit granted
Feel the tension
Now step out of this dimension
Inwards growing intention

A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed

Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less

When did you creep to me?
I live to recognize
Why don't you figure out
By yourself why to run away

You better keep on hiding
'Cos you'll be fucked if you start to run
Here's the line, give it a go
This bridge is flammable

A state of mind one could envy
Lick up the pressure that I have shed

Hate defends
Hate repels
Hate prevents
Hate demands less

I cut your wings
The moment you think that you cannot fly
Smother my habitat
Foment the thoughts of my demise

Seems like we've met before
You may not know me but I know you
Pretence paradox
Fault of purpose amputee

Am I your enemy or what?
I attack from inside
When I rule there are no principles
But I know where they lie
Keep your hands out of this
An untouchable progress has begun

Control cancer
Inside you
I watch your struggle
Control cancer
Inside you
I make a strike

Decadent vision controls my life
And the vision is your very self
Immortal life form
Nesting in a mortal shell

I am the excess you try to skim
But you retake us the on the sly
For rejecting me
You're shaking your halo

The drill of reason
Reaching your temple
Insecure and weak
You cut the tongue that digs my eyes
Am I your enemy or what?
I attack from inside

Control cancer
Inside you
I watch your struggle
Control cancer
Inside you
I make a strike

We shall retake our existence

Running out of solutions
Conscious or carried away?
Classify, separate, codify - hear dismay
Atomize, aggregate, rearrange - fear the fate

Invasion and spiritual penetration

Awaken on the edge of unjustified suspicion
Is the alteration possible with no demolition?
Deadbeat and shivering
Approaching the next period
The delusion that liberation is drawing near

Mind-set euthanasia
Arise out of impulse

Mental suicide
Exertion beyond intensity

With open arms adopting the true desperation
Affected system towards the new adoring face
Another victim of a synthetic evocation
A cry of relief sealing the disgrace

/Instrumental/

Burning a hole in the back of my neck
It will always come back to this
For a second I looked away
And it got the job done
I say that I understand
But I'm not sure that I do
If I only could have those few minutes back

We're the ones who made it happen
I alone made it all come down
The point of no return
Is purifying

Retrospecting for all the wrong reasons
Pointing fingers to numb out the pain
Distorting the truth
With a good dose of make-belief
I will have to live with this
For the rest of my life
And that will take me to my grave

We're the ones who made it happen
I alone made it all come down
The point of no return
It's purifying
