Dignity - Project Destiny lyrics



Tracks



01. Project Destiny

Welcome to a world of hate
Injustice reigns with rage
We try to loose uncertainty
Innocence is gone
We try to move along
A road thats full of anger
Full of hate. Disorder!

Hold me tight, when stars collide
In this place we search our fate.
Cry for love, for help above.
Live your life with dignity
Search your own destiny

A dishonest smile
Another compete stranger
A makeshift love affair
A habit forming secret craving

Temporary pain
At least it eases his hunger
Own the clothes he wears
And a spot on the street
And a life in despair

All have been children
Innocent and full of life
But some get rich while some die young


Listen to the proud
Master of the order
Once a poor child on the streets
Its project destiny


A man thats maimed for life
Imprisoned by his body
Fought for liberty
Until a bomb just turned his standing

Immovable pain
A brain without a body
Rather dead than alive
The reward for his life
Was a stone with his name

All have been children
Innocent and full of life
But some get rich while some die young


Listen to the proud
Master of the order
Once a poor child on the streets
Its project destiny


What if I am the one
Unknown powers to reverse whats upside down


Listen to the proud
Master of the order
Once a poor child on the streets
Its project destiny

02. Arrogance and Rapture

I wish we found a cure against
All these Infections
In our society a leathal death injection
So many human lifes to save against depression
Caused by the greedy hearts
Arrogance and rapture

When it feels like life is a tourture hall
And there is no way out
You just close your eyes
A new tomorrow
You need to realize

You cant just stand there in the cold
And believe it blows over


It is time for a change let your voice be heard
We just have one chance
On this planet earth

Open your mind
Live your life like this day where your last
Thats how you stay alive


As you are walking down
The memory lane
Your eyes stay dry
And when you think youre all alone in desperat
Just make the call

You cant just stand there in the cold
And believe it blows over


It is time for a change let your voice be heard
We just have one chance
On this planet earth

Open your mind
Live your life like this day where your last
Thats how you stay alive


So surreal
How you conquered your own fears
Ended all without saying goodbye
You are gone
Rest of my days

Now and then a silent tear
will fall from my eyes
It Is heard to say good bye
And believe it blows over


It is time for a change let your voice be heard
We just have one chance
On this planet earth

Open your mind
Live your life like this day where your last
Thats how you stay alive

03. Cry in Despair

They say that time heals all wounds
Please describe

How long it takes and
How its done

She looks like an angel from heaven sent
A power you can not describe
You had what you thought
Unconditional
Emotions that ended in hell


Cry in despair
As worlds falling apart
Just show me and
The rest will be a journey
To the STARS


Who decides what is
Destined to be?

I wanna live for eternity

She looks like an angel from heaven sent
A power you can not describe
You had what you thought
Unconditional
Emotions that ended in hell


Cry in despair
As worlds falling apart
Just show me and
The rest will be a journey
To the STARS


Like when the darkness
Takes me far away
And when I wake
I fear to sleep again
So many thoughts and tears
I ve sheed in vain
Untill the end
I m walking on my own

She looks like an angel from heaven sent
A power you can not describe
You had what you thought
Unconditional
Emotions that ended in hell

04. Dreams Never Die

A broken window
And a bird that gasps for air
The final breath - black eyes
look back at me screaming in despair

In one second I m awake
And sweat drops falling from my head
Yet another dream
Continuously comes back into me

Message without meaning.
Leave a clue - freeze rewind
Where is the sign
What does this really mean
Or am I dreaming in a dream


Its your mind that guides you
In the world around you
Where veracity replies
To creations in your mind

If youre gone tomorrow
Time erases sorrow
As long as you never give in
Your dreams will never die


I m in a hunt
But I m the hunted on the run
No matter how determined
I try to run, my legs do not reply

I m on an airplane
And I m falling through the clouds
But there have been years since then
And still I have no sight of solid ground

Message without meaning
Leave a clue - freeze rewind
Where is the sign
What does this really mean
Or am I dreaming in a dream

05. Icarus

Used his skills to build them wings
Out of feathers and of strings
To escape the labyrinth in which they re trapped
Icarus - the son of Deadalus the one
With these wings they would reach to the sun?

High above the clouds they ll - fly
Thats the only way cause the..
Guards are watching land and sea
(The) King of Crete in agony

He was rebellious - he was bold
So he ignored what he was told
Son, you must promise me to never fly too high
Cause the sun is a flaming ball of fire
The wax in the wings might just melt
And you ll fall dead upon the ground


Fly! - Into the sun
He is the one and only
Icarus, (Icarus)
High! - To touch the sun
He is Deadalus son
Icarus, (Icarus)


To kill the monster Minotaur
The hero begged the inventor
Deadalus and as if that was not enough
Did escape with the lovley daughter
Of king Minos his fury was so great
In the end he lost his mind

06. Inner Circles Sympathy

I m getting all upset, afraid at the same time
The only thing that counts
Who has the most things the day he dies

Same hunger in us all
To be somebody else
Consort with enemies
To find a way to make them fail

And here I am
Among my friends
But who can I trust?

I know there is a place
A place where we belong
Not in this squirrel wheel
Where all comes back to square one

There is a timer set
Awaiting to be found
I guess its mother earths
Revenge


What can we do
The inner circles sympathy
While we are falling faster

A complex fight
Where no one think alike
Why cant you see our destiny


As long as I m alive
I m gonna rest my case
But I am pretty sure that
Someone will reveal it all

Not saying I m a judge
And I aint gonna blame
Our society for nuclear winter rains

And here I am
Among my friends
But who can I trust


What can we do
The inner circles sympathy
While we are falling faster

A complex fight
Where no one think alike
Why cant you see our destiny.


Comunications failed
Somewhere along the way.
One word and suddenly
The walls are closing in again

There is a mystery
How anything can work
I m sick and tired of it all

07. The Edge of the Blade

Those endless battles
Foreign souls
Full speed ahead into the wall
No questions asked no answers needed

One put the sword into the stone
Some read a book to find their home
To me both fairytale and fiction

Some believe they live to die
Some have hopes of higher lives
None have proof of anything but still they die


Gazing at the skies
Is there something for us left to find
Are there secrets among our holy places
That can stop us from ending our race
From the edge of the blade


Some saw the light but they survived
And if they died none could describe
Their ultra rapid stream of memories

I ve ceased since long to mind
so many questions undefined
but still they re fighting for their prophecies

Some believe they live to die
Some have hopes of higher lives
None have the proof of anything but still they die


Gazing at the skies
Is there something for us left to find
Are there secrets among our holy places
That can stop us from ending our race
From the edge of the blade


As I am gazing at the stars
And wonder if thers life on mars.
All these ecryptic information.

08. Inner Demons

Am I walking in circles
Wrapped up in myself?
Do I miss a companion
A lover or friend?

I dont know, I dont know anything more.

Feelings are hard to describe
Contradictions collide

I must be my own worst enemy
Suicide is a sin
Here I stand on my own?


Im not alone
My inner demons
Keeps me company
All the time
Every day and - night


Do I falter in darkness on long winding roads
Can I cope with the pressure of such a great load

I dont know, I dont know anything more

Why do I talk to myself?
Why do I call out for help?

I must be my own worst enemy
Suicide is a sin
Here I stand on my own


I m not alone
My inner demons
Keeps me company
All the time
Every day and - night


Feelings are hard to describe
Contradictions collide


I m not alone
My inner demons
Keeps me company
All the time
Every day and - night

09. Dont Pay the Ferryman

It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run,
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;

He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river.

And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl,
There were voices in the night - "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight - "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do,

Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;"

In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back,
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water.

And then the ferryman said,
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,



Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;



Don't pay - the ferryman!"
