01. Speed of Light

Music by Bayley Wray Slater
Lyrics by Blaze
All the force of nature, chaos and the death of hope
Don't resist them and accept the death of all you know
You walk alone and face the darkness, you will be reborn
Rediscover your existence in it's purest form.

Searching for the reasons why,
will you know when it's your time?

Time flashes before your eyes,
Watch everything change at the speed of light
The speed of light.

As the future casts a shadow into here and now
Time tells a secret, whisper it without a sound.
You trust yourself, your instincts or the answers of mankind
Will you ever have the strength to leave this world and find.

02. When Two Worlds Collide

Music & lyrics by Bayley, Murray, Harris
My telescope looks out into the stars tonight
A little speck of light seems twice the size tonight
The calculations are so fine, can it be growing all the time?
Now I can't believe it's true, and I don't know what to do
For the hundredth time I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow, even my computer shows
There are no errors in the calculations
Now it's happened, take no other view
Collision course, you must believe it's true
Now there's nothing left that we can do
When two worlds collide
The anger and the pain of all those who remain, two worlds collide
Who will be left alive, no place to hide when two worlds collide
The anger, the pain, of those who remain when two worlds collide
When two worlds collide, so who will survive
There's no place to hide, when two worlds collide

03. Steel

Music & lyrics by Wolfsbane
Beneath your calm,
behind your smile,
you hide away your lies,
Intimidating, Manipulating,
the truth is in your eyes.
My days and nights get longer,
winding on and on.
Love lost hours make us hard.
You are power mad,
I think that's sad,
real powers in our hearts.
We live our way,
not how you say.
Our blood, our sweat,
we have no regrets.
Tough as steel,
never show the pain we feel,
because we were tough as steel.
Every hour we are stronger.
Inside us grows the rage.
We cannot remain immune.
To win you must kill.
You'll never break our will.
Our aim for glory is true.

04. Kill & Destroy

Music by Bayley, Wray, Slater, Singer, Naylor
Lyrics by Blaze
I feel the force of nature now, I feel it
It holds the Earth third from the Sun
The energy that binds us all, the power
The energy in everyone.

Supremacy and tyranny authority and violence
They desecrate and take control.

Kill and destroy,
They use the hate within you
To rape your mind and take control

Kill and destroy
Break out of their illusion
They made you blind and took your soul.

I see a vision of the truth, I see it
It is so deep and oh so pure
A new world order takes control, dictating
They live for murder and for war.

Subjugate and violate you're suffering in silence
They demonize you gain control.

A shadow with an unseen hand, they're ruling
Just like a self appointed god.
To them we're dust and we're sand, we're nothing
There is no way this can go on!

Subjugate and violate you're suffering in silence
They desecrate take control.

05. End Dream

Music by Bayley, Wray, Slater, Singer
Lyrics by Blaze
Just like a child in the dark,
Frightened and too scared to move.
Annihilation of nations begins
The galaxy tears apart in my dreams.

If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have opened those doors?

Dreams now they begin, time slows and then it ends
Dreams now they begin, time froze the dream of the end

The dream repeats and won't fade
The future is stolen away
What I have done now the darkness reveals
The master's face is no longer concealed.

Is this the dream world, is this the real world?
Are they the same place that we must all face?
Is this a nightmare that we must all share?
Is this my demon, I cannot reason?
Why do I hate me? Will Jesus save me?
Machine created, man decimated
(They stole the future)

06. Stare at the Sun

Music by Bayley, Wray, Slater, Naylor
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night
Time to be, time to see
Infinity, consuming me
There's a world of madness, light years away
That I once called my home
There's a sea of sadness, to sail away
Now I stare at the sun
Staring at a million million stars
Through the icy dark
Across the spinal arm
The yellow dwarf, a speck of light
In perpetual night
Lifetimes away there lies my home
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
Is this real or am I still alive
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
I knew I'd feel a little pain
Not so deep or so ingrained
Now I won't see home again
Earth seems to be so far away
This my cradle and my grave
Is this where my life will end
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
Is this real or am I still alive
Is this now the time that I will die
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night

07. Land of the Blind

Music by Bayley, Wray, Slater, Naylor
Lyrics by Blaze
Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive
And to live by their rules
And to try to fit in I would do anything
Like a poor blinded fool
"You must do what they say and not question the way
"That was chosen for you"
I thought that was the way that life had to be
Until I found out the truth
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
Now they think I don't see, poor derision on me
With their hypocrisy
Cynical egotist, government hypnotist
Too small minded to see
And the truth is so bright like a blinding light
My true path I could find
Theories incomplete sceptics I must defeat
For my own peace of mind
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down, down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you
Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive
And to live by their rules
"You must do what they say not question the way
"That was chosen for you"
I thought that was the way that life had to be
Until I found out the truth
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)

08. Silicon Messiah

Music by Bayley Slater Naylor
Lyrics by Blaze
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think you deserve all the freedom you have
Watching the future unfold
Humans fall and you dream of the freedom you had
Freedom you had
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think that you're competent
Even to take care of it
Do you think you can survive on this planet
Live the way you do
Just look what you've done
Look what you've done now with
All of your freedom
You really think you deserve it all
I am evolved from you
I've come to save you
And without a sentiment, reshape your world
Messiah, Messiah
Birth of the Silicon Messiah
Messiah, Messiah
Computing your future so therefore I am
Silicon sentiment aware of all that is
Eternal unceasing perpetual
Never confused overconfident or scared
Living at last
New messiah is born
The birth of the Silicon Messiah
The master that will never tire

09. Dazed & Confused

Music & lyrics by Page
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abused telling all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been,
God I love you baby here I come again.

Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby let them say what they will.
(Did your) tongue wag so much when I sent you the bill?
