Tracks



01. Mercenary Man

Mama take a look at your boy
Face a man without a soul
He is standing in the doorway
I'll be gone, before the night is over
I have to go, I have to run to the border

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Mama keep the faith it's alright
Your boy's a mercenary man
A soldier made of steel
A shotgun rings; the wind is calling my name
Fields of gold beneath a blood red sky

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Just before we leave it all behind

02. My Loneliness

My loneliness makes you feel insecure
My loneliness will never let you find a cure
My loneliness has no directions for me and you
My loneliness speaks no truth of what you do
Listen to what I say

Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again

My loneliness does not lead you to my core
My loneliness always tell you to ignore
My loneliness, a waste of time if there's no trust
My loneliness is turning everything to dust
Listen to what I say

Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again

No one can save us from this pain
I wish that I could stop the rain
These dark gray skies are closing in

Oh
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again

03. Spirits In A Digital World

Prepare yourself,
it's a different world
Only the strongest will survive
Arm yourself with dignity and grace
No emotions, heart of stone

Our spirits, our spirits
In a digital world
Our spirits, our spirits
In a digital world

There's a ghost in the machine
Lost spirits in a digital world
No instincts, all is gone
Prepare yourself;
it's a brand new world
Only gods and heroes left

Our spirits, our spirits
In a digital world
Our spirits, our spirits
In a digital world

Fill yourself with anger and hate
It's just a matter of time
All systems are ready to go
Just a beginning of the end

04. Mercenary Man

Mama take a look at your boy
Face a man without a soul
He is standing in the doorway
I'll be gone, before the night is over
I have to go, I have to run to the border

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Mama keep the faith it's alright
Your boy's a mercenary man
A soldier made of steel
A shotgun rings; the wind is calling my name
Fields of gold beneath a blood red sky

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Just before we leave it all behind
