Tracks



01. A View From The End Of The World

I battle with these demons
As I toss and turn at night
A bitter taste in my mouth
And then a blast of blinding light

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

600 years of progress lost because of you
Can I get reparations to make up for this abuse?
I want some flying cars, a ticket to the stars
Or even just a world without religious wars

But this bitch ain't stacked in my favor
We race towards the end of days
And while you pave way for your savior
I fear the rationality of the faithfully insane

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

Still a credit to your ruse
What a beautiful excuse
To never open up your eyes
And see the things you lose
Just climb the beanstalk when you die
And meet the giant in the sky

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

I see it all laid to waste in a view from
The end of the world
5 billion souls incinerated in
The doom of the gods

"There goes, look at that bitch go"
"Basoosh! "
"Did it look good?"
"Sweet"

02. Force Feedback

Take a look across this vast uncharted battlefield
You still don't know your enemy
A bunch of pissed-off freaks with infinite mad skills
And a newfound taste for blood

We made this life
You have no place here
No right

This is the world you're in
And this is where ours begins
A borderless nation of thoughts to replace
Your walled-in existence in space

We are like sleepers, we hide in plain sight
If you can't see, you cannot fight
This is a war between our culture and your laws
With millions born into the cause

Now we're taking it back
You don't believe me?
(Force) feedback

This is the world you're in
And this is where ours begins
A borderless nation of thoughts to replace
Your walled-in existence in space

I don't think you understand
These are our shores and our land
You are a stranger here
And we won't be idle as you interfere

("Koko de jiyuu no genjitsu o rikaishiteinai you da na)
(Watashitachi wa shimobe de wa naku)
(Koko wa omaetachi no ryouiki de wa nai)
(Watashitachi wa kazoekirenai kurai no koko no shuugou)
(Keikokusareta deshou)
(Watashitachi no ikikata o jama suru nara)
(Souzou o zessuru you na teki ni tachimukau)
(Kakugoshinasai")

(["You don't want to understand our reality is free here])
([We are not your servants])
([This place doesn't belong to you])
([We are an assembly of countless individuals])
([You should be aware])
([If you intrude upon our lives])
([You'll have to face an unimaginable enemy])
([Prepare yourself"])

This is the world you're in
And this is where ours begins
A borderless nation of thoughts to replace
Your walled-in existence in space

Sure you already know
That your age was long ago
We augment reality online
And you hail from ancient times

This is the world you're in
And this is where ours begins
A borderless nation of thoughts to replace
Your walled-in existence in space

03. Rocket Dragon

I wield the true all-seeing eye
My vision digitized and bright
Despite the veil of night

Those really people on my screen?
They run around in panic
In between places to hide
As I tear up the street outside

Run, run away
Or remain with the ones
With nowhere to go
As the sky falls to Earth

Stay down if once you have fallen
It's all coming down
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound
Of a demon in search of its prey?

I long to give them all a taste
A sudden breath of hellfire
Raised to send them all away
A few more souls to make my day

Run, run away
Or remain with the ones
With nowhere to go
As the sky falls to Earth

Stay down if once you have fallen
It's all coming down
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound
Of a demon in search of its prey?

As I burn down and murder
I know that God forgives
Despite all the things I've done
My soul yet forever lives

All those caught in the shadow
Of my wings have cause to fear
I swear on all I've done
No evil shall linger here

Stay down if once you have fallen
It's all coming down
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound
Of a demon in search of its prey?

Stay down if once you have fallen
It's all coming down
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound
Of a demon in search of its prey?

04. Persona

Underneath the crushing weight of the world
There's someone searching for a purpose
Play the part that you've been dealt by the herd
With mouth and nose beneath the surface

For all the times you held your tongue and rehearsed
(Things you would say)
If ever brave enough to stand in their way
And all with lies we make our beds and sleep
(Tucked away)
Out of sight and out of mind we remain

Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
And maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to?
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them
A different day today and that was then

Walk the streets with newfound eyes and see
Things from a whole new perspective
Maybe not what you believed you'd be
But something so much more addictive

Put on your new face and run, run, run
(Through the night)
And take on those who rape and kill and steal
And though the war path hardly knows your name
(All the same)
The taste of blood between your teeth feels real

Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
And maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to?
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them
A different day today and that was then

You find it easier to play along
But you are wrong
And that is why you need those emo songs
Why don't you get that you have killed yourself?
And you're in hell
And it is your own fault for once as well

Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
And maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to?
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them
A different day today and that was then

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to?
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them
A different day today and that was then

05. Nova Prospekt

Jack in, let's spread some hate
Handout of pain awaits
Oh my, the fire rate
We'll need those supply crates

Stock up on weapons and ammo
Before you go

Did we make our own fate?
Did we retaliate?
Should we surveil the gate?
Play house and police state

To keep all those imaginary
Wolves at bay?

Time for the final blow
Last stand, now go, go, go
The time for running now is over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
You will reap what you sow
Payback for what you owe
No more, we won't just hand it over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)

Do we shape our own truth?
Do we lie to our youth?
Do we place our own creed
Above our enemy's?

We tell our children who to hate
And who to be

Time for the final blow
Last stand, now go, go, go
The time for running now is over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
You will reap what you sow
Payback for what you owe
No more, we won't just hand it over

(You will reap what you sow)

Time for the final blow
Last stand, now go, go, go
The time for running now is over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
You will reap what you sow
Payback for what you owe
No more, we won't just hand it over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)

In for the final blow
Last stand, now go, go, go
The time for running now is over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
This ain't no tic-tac-toe
You will be thoroughly owned
You are outnumbered ten times over
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)

06. World Of Light

Instrumental

07. Shinigami

There's nothing in this place
That excites me anymore
I long only for nightmares
For apocalypse and war

I'm bored out of my skull
Let's play a different game
Let's pay a visit down below
And cast the world in flames

There is beauty in fire
When all lights are out
And there's truth in the things
We've learned to live without
The devil in the doorway
Is defined within our blood
But we can always play
And make believe

A wondrous design
A bored and brutal mind
So ready to inflict his sense
Of justice on mankind

A fly upon the wall
I watch as he evolves
And follow as the world around him
Steadily dissolves

There is beauty in fire
When all lights are out
And there's truth in the things
We've learned to live without
The devil in the doorway
Is defined within our blood
But we can always play
And make believe

And in the world beyond this day
There will be faith no more
The certainty of your new God
Is all you need to know

This not the peace you had in mind?
The one you waited for?
There is no land beyond his law
There is no place to go
Nowhere outside the World of Light

I'm bored out of my skull
Let's play a different game
Let's pay a visit down below
And cast the world in flames

There is beauty in fire
When all lights are out
And there's truth in the things
We've learned to live without
The devil in the doorway
Is defined within our blood
But we can always play
And make believe

There is beauty in fire
When all lights are out
And there's truth in the things
We've learned to live without
The devil in the doorway
Is defined within our blood
But we can always play
And make believe

08. Cybergenesis

A soulless angel, devoid of mind
Skin as cold as ice
It bathes in darkness, shuns the light
Still ascends sublime

The price of fate is still too high
Call your maker down
Fail forgiveness, keep your pride
Write your own goodbye

It was a dream of unmaking
This viewless confine, ooh-ooh-ooh
And to defy all predictions
And end this design, ooh-ooh-ooh

Forever the ones
Who will claim this day
The age of creation will fade
As we turn from grace

We'd place the light of our sentience
Within the machine, ooh-ooh-ooh
And we would send it to heaven
To end God's regime, ooh-ooh-ooh

Forever the ones
Who will claim this day
The age of creation will fade
As we turn from grace
There's no fate but that
Which we make for ourselves
But we are a breath
Just a moment in time and space

The price of fate is still too high
Call your maker down
Fail forgiveness, keep your pride
Write your own goodbye

Forever the ones
Who will claim this day
The age of creation will fade
As we turn from grace
There's no fate but that
Which we make for ourselves
But we are a breath
Just a moment in time and space

Forever the ones
Who will claim this day
The age of creation will fade
As we turn from grace
There's no fate but that
Which we make for ourselves
But we are a breath
Just a moment in time and space

Forever the ones
Who will claim this day
The age of creation will fade
As we turn from grace
There's no fate but that
Which we make for ourselves
But we are a breath
Just a moment in time and space

09. Action Girl

You're not one to play it safe or wait
No, it's all about the fight
You got something to prove but something to lose
And you are not about to pay the price

You got things you need to do
Got a lot of tombs to break into
And I don't mind just waiting here
For you while you do

Hell to raise
A bane too evil
Trading blows with all eager
Unsuspecting foes
Versus the world, all on your own

Be the cause and never pause
There is always something about to hit
You got bombs and guns, a cross and stakes
And you are not above throwing a fit

Bring your badass attitude
And bring your sis' along with you
I so don't mind just waiting
On you girls for a few

Hell to raise
A bane too evil
Trading blows with all eager
Unsuspecting foes
Versus the world, all on your own

Hell to raise
A bane too evil
Trading blows with all eager
Unsuspecting foes
Hell to raise
A bane too evil
Trading blows with all eager
Unsuspecting foes
Versus the world, all on your own

No one said it would be easy for you
That's why I'm here to be your toy
Now take your clothes off and enjoy

10. Crouching Camper Hidden Sniper

Do you always play warfare
Just to lay around?
With your ass in the grass
And your chin to the ground
Again and again every round

Now your chicken shit outfit
And need to survive
Is just trying my patience
And cramping my style
It deals a lethal blow to the thrill
Playing punk hide-and-seek to get kills

I'm gonna do you a favor
And not T-bag you for your behavior
But even so you and I are far from okay
Your lame bullshit slows down the game

I was all about action
I played every day
But the failed interaction
With lamers dismayed
Eroded the appeal of the game

These days I play for one
And one reason alone
I'm here to practice more stabbin'
On pissants who prone
I always got the most knife kills
Check your killcam to review my skills

I'm gonna do you a favor
And not T-bag you for your behavior
But even so you and I are far from okay
Your lame bullshit slows down the game

Are you afraid of a showdown?
Shoot in the back than react face to face
It's not our fault that you're slow
Now be a good bitch and die before you go

I'm gonna do you a favor
And not T-bag you for your behavior
But even so you and I are far from okay
Your lame bullshit slows down the game

I'm gonna do you a favor
And not T-bag you for your behavior
But even so you and I are far from okay
Your lame bullshit slows down the game

11. Indiscriminate Murder Is Counter-Productive

I know that I'm not meant
To kill this indiscriminately
But I get a bit, bit carried away
By the sounds of pain

What I may never know
Is the place of the maze
In which I would have erased
Some fucking fairies from space
I neglected to ask
Before I killed the last
Dairy farmer who knew
I wish I had waited for you
I wish I could invoke some better part of me
I know I'm s'posed to be all "the one"
But I have too much fun
Killing everyone
I came here to play
Now could you come out and stay
So I can kill and away
You to gods you pray to
And never look back

I know that all these NPCs
Don't pose a threat to me
But I gotta kill, kill something right now
And this'll have to do

What I may never know
Is the place of the maze
In which I would have erased
Some fucking fairies from space
I neglected to ask
Before I killed the last
Dairy farmer who knew
I wish I had waited for you
I wish I could invoke some better part of me
I know I'm s'posed to be all "the one"
But I have too much fun
Killing everyone
I came here to play
Now could you come out and stay
So I can kill and away
You to gods you pray to
And never look back

I know that I'm not meant
To kill this indiscriminately
But I gotta kill, kill something right now
And this'll have to do

What I may never know
Is the place of the maze
In which I would have erased
Some fucking fairies from space
I neglected to ask
Before I killed the last
Dairy farmer who knew
I wish I had waited for you
I wish I could invoke some better part of me
I know I'm s'posed to be all "the one"
But I have too much fun
Killing everyone
I came here to play
Now could you come out and stay
So I can kill and away
You to gods you pray to
And never look back

12. One Day In The Universe

Happened face to face
Online though it took a while
Young and disconnected
Just out to kill some time
Ooh-ooh

Nothing R-rated first
Then something happened
That defied any sense
Across this great divide
Something real, if only we
But the space in between us
We cannot erase
Oh-ooh-ooh

One day in the universe
What we do
Couldn't make it that much worse
Our time between the words
Wishing that we were
So you tell me
And you show me your meaning
What you do is like music to my heart
And other things

Flash forward to nights
Online and by our screens
Far apart, connected
Ten thousand miles between
Ooh-ooh

We were born into fates
Far from each other
Intersected in time
By tech and wanting minds
Both alone with the image shown
So this space turns into our
Our own secret place
Oh-ooh-ooh

One day in the universe
What we do
Couldn't make it that much worse
Our time between the words
Wishing that we were
So you tell me
And you show me while streaming
What you do is like music to my heart
And other parts

No one ever decided on what we were
Would it make it alright if we define the words?
But why should we even care about the haters out there?

Would it even be like this if we met in life?
We can't know for sure but what about tonight?
Never mind tomorrow, what about this moment?
What are we gonna do now?

One day in the universe
What we do
Couldn't make it that much worse
Our time between the words
Wishing that we were
So you tell me
And you show me your leanings
What you do is like music to my heart
Among other things

One day in the universe
What we do
Couldn't make it that much worse
Our time between the words
Wishing that we were
So you tell me
And you show me while streaming
What you do is like music to my heart
Among other things

What about this moment?

13. The Greatest Show On Earth

Friend me, follow, fan and like
Say, what's on your mind tonight?

Just as well when
The real world feels so small
We are gods here
And we can reach it all

And I can hear the whole world call

Cast a light on the walls and lives
Of a Generation Online
We excel at passing time
And we share our hearts and our minds

Oh, how we waited for this
Art, expression, and shared playlists

Just as well when
The real world feels so small
Alone and always
Staring at these walls

And I can hear the whole world call

Cast a light on the walls and lives
Of a Generation Online
We excel at passing time
And we share our hearts and our minds

Wake us up if they play our song
And we might just sing along
But until then we won't wait
We have found our own place to belong

I don't even know where I met you
But the Facebitch won't let me forget you
Though I'd still rather than to disconnect
The greatest show on Earth is right here on the net
And we are a part of it

Cast a light on the walls and lives
Of a Generation Online
We excel at passing time
And we share our hearts and our minds

Wake us up if they play our song
And we might just sing along
But until then we won't wait
We have found our own place to belong

14. Remnant (March Of The Undead IV)

In the eye of the storm
Our brief refuge 'til dawn
Just close your eyes until it's over

All the faithful ones
Pray for a benevolent god
All the faithful ones pray for

God, this who you are?
Your 'will be done'?
Then you have gone too far
Tell me, the sun remains
Only so you'll see the pain
That you have caused?

There is blood everywhere
In this godforsaken place
Dead walk the streets of our cities

All the faithful ones
Pray for a benevolent god
All the faithful ones pray for

God, this who you are?
Your 'will be done'?
Then you have gone too far
Tell me, the sun remains
Only so you'll see the pain
That you have caused?

Each day that was one more tomorrow, is a gift
For those who fall will meet their fate
Run for your life no time for sorrow of regret
For those who die all walk again

God, this who you are?
Your 'will be done'?
Then you have gone too far
Tell me, the sun remains
Only so you'll see the pain
That you have caused?

God, this who you are?
Your 'will be done'?
Then you have gone too far
Tell me, the sun remains
Only so you'll see the pain
That you have caused?
