01. Afterlife

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Break me free
There is no return
It's the start of my rebirth
But as I glow just like a firefly
Time creates a vortex ride

Let it out
Of my sanity
It's a source of my serenity
I'm half the man I used to be
I still resent its sanity

Walking in shackles
As I open up my eyes
It's like I never stop and then wake up

So wake me up to an everlasting afterlife
It is designed from the secrets I hide
So set me free
And this time you'll be electrified
The future leaves nothing behind
It's my afterlife

Hear me scream
I break the seal
An impulse of me revived
And as I fill my lungs
It's hard to breathe
Like I was born inside a dream

Welcome home
You are not alone
And no longer on your own
I'm half the man I used to be
A second life infesting me

Walking in shackles
As I open up my eyes
It's like I never stop and then wake up

So wake me up to an everlasting afterlife
It is designed from the secrets I hide
So set me free
And this time you'll be electrified
The future leaves nothing behind
It's my afterlife

As I wake up
They're dissecting me
Can't see, can't breathe in this reality
Synthetic christ machine
I'm forced to live with abnormality

Walking in shackles
As I open up my eyes
It's like I never stop and then wake up

So wake me up to an everlasting afterlife
It is designed from the secrets I hide
So set me free
And this time you'll be electrified
The future leaves nothing behind
It's my afterlife

02. Invincible

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Can't you see who I am, I'm invincible

I am the voice in your dreams
So come and follow me
I am the terror unseen
In our society

Like an invincible shield
The force inside us all
Returned
To strike back
Cause I'm unstoppable

Can't you see who I am, I'm invincible
Like a force that is out of control
It's the key to achieving my goals
Unbreakable
(One more time)
Can't you hear what I say
It's a miracle
Now you're scared that you're losing it all
But this power runs deep in my soul
Invincible
(Invincible)

I am your dream in disguise
I am your enemy
I am the shadow you fear
The code awakens me

Inject the brutal vaccine
One man against them all
Like the truth never dies
I'm indestructible

Can't you see who I am, I'm invincible
Like a force that is out of control
It's the key to achieving my goals
Unbreakable
(One more time)
Can't you hear what I say
It's a miracle
Now you're scared that you're losing it all
But this power runs deep in my soul
Invincible
(Invincible)

This power runs deep in my soul
I'm invincible
And I will never give in
Nor leave you behind
A frantic wonder united we're stronger

Can't you see who I am I'm invincible
Like a force that is out of control
But this power runs deep in my soul
Invincible

Can't you see who I am, I'm invincible
Like a force that is out of control
It's the key to achieving my goals
Unbreakable
(One more time)
Can't you hear what I say
It's a miracle
Now you're scared that you're losing it all
But this power runs deep in my soul
Invincible

03. The Nexus

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Right now
I wanna be the enemy
I hide
Empower our remedy
Step up
Get your game on
Get your pride back
Never back down
Oh

And as I open my eyes
I see my shadow
Will I return like myself or parted atoms

I have the will inside my mind
(Inside my mind)
There is a voice I can't deny I

Break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within

Yeah
I rise so you can be a part of me
I hide as part of the machinery
I've stepped on the wires
Feeding the flames to burn higher

And as the darkness reveals
I see no reason
For me to reach for the cure
I'm my own demon

I kept the secrets in my mind
There is a voice I can't deny I

Break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within

Face it down
I'm the spine in the flame
Just let it out of me
Break it out of the core
To help me breathe

I have the will inside my mind
There is a voice I can't deny I

Break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within

04. Theory Of Everything

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Hope we lost
Along the way as we go far
Into a world that's grown too dark
Forced and cruel emotionless electrohearts
Build greed and mechanical wars

Can no one save us from this lifeless shame
Tell my how to focus on what's left behind
Now it's our time to heal the pain

Let this earth renew
We will see it through
It's my theory of everything
We will wars undo
Make the oceans blue
Paint the heavens with stars
And I won't let it out of my heart
(Let it out of my heart)
No we won't let this world fall apart

To a bleak synthetic species we have grown
We're heading into the unknown
Tell me why dystopia has filled our hearts
With grief and unmendable scars

Can no one save us from this lifeless shame
Will rise from this nightmare on our own
How can we take away the stains

Let this earth renew
We will see it through
It's my theory of everything
We will wars undo
Make the oceans blue
Paint the heavens with stars
And I won't let it out of my heart
(Let it out of my heart)
No we won't let this world fall apart

Break down, deny, my destiny
I came across what should be left alone
The will to die, infesting me
I am the product of insanity

Let this earth renew
We will see it through
It's my theory of everything
We will wars undo
Make the oceans blue
Paint the heavens with stars
And I won't let it out of my heart

Let it out of my heart

Let this earth renew
We will see it through
It's my theory of everything
We will wars undo
Make the oceans blue
Paint the heavens with stars
And I won't let it out of my heart
(Let it out of heart)
No we won't let this world fall apart

05. Stardust

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
A vivid yet sensless perfection
Reflects in these cynical times
It seems like the future was calling
Something brought me to life

As I pick up the pieces
Yet I'm still unaware
That my nemesis
Is my own belief
And my actions will change why I'm here

'Cause I won't give it up
I have seen enough
And I will never stop
A universe where stardust leads the way
Help, I died just to make you see
Stardust won't you take me
To galaxies where all hope's astray

I shake by the septic infection
A rush as it runs down my spine
It feels like I'm crossing the border
My hunger comes alive

As I pass through the mirror
It's a travel through time
There's no turning back
On a one way track
My addiction which renders me blind

'Cause I won't give it up
I have seen enough
And I will never stop
A universe where stardust leads the way
Help, I died just to make you see
Stardust won't you take me
To galaxies where all hope's astray

An image of godless ideals
Is what reflects in these eyes
Seems like the heavens are falling
It's the truth of my demise

I won't give it up
The truth is not enough
And I will never stop
A universe where stardust leads the way
Help, I died just to make you see
Stardust won't you take me
To galaxies where all hope's astray

Stardust leads the way

06. Burn With Me

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
You are gone to the highest bidder
Now you're with a man that is god's worst sinner
Well no, don't care about me
I am just the man who meant to set you free
I tried to
Make you a part of me
I even told you what would happen theoretically
There is this something that I need to know
Why am I the only one that lost it all

But every day and every time I turn around
Searching for a place
That I have left behind
And all I wanna believe
That you could bleed so

Burn with me
I'm just an empty shell
Another's friend
Transformed to someone else
Take your seat
I cast a spell
So you'll be less like you
And more like someone else

One's life is another's dream
What some would say's a myth is one's normality
How can I
Believe there's another sun
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm the chosen one

As night has taken what is left of day
And everything is like it's made of clay
I feel like I am the only one
Feeding my need to be reckoned as someone

And every day and every time I turn around
Searching for a sign so I can make a sound
But all I want is to flee
I wanna see you

Burn with me
I'm just an empty shell
Another's friend
Transformed to someone else
Take your seat
I cast a spell
So you'll be less like you
And more like someone else

Burn with me
I'm just an empty shell
Another's friend
Transformed to someone else
Take your seat
I cast a spell
So you'll be less like you
And more like someone

Burn with me
I'm just an empty shell
Another's friend
Transformed to someone else
Take your seat
I cast a spell
So you'll be less like you
And more like someone else

07. Mechanical Illusion

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Foreseen a man, machine I am
Eating from an empty hand
Awaken me, I am a fraction of infinity
As flames arise, I boil, I shake
A destiny of how it's made
It tears in me I need to let it be

As tears are falling from my eyes
I see a world that's upside down
See me bleed, I'm on the run

Mechanical Illusion
(Mechanical)
Search through every open door
To end this war
Reset the evolution
(The evolution)
Drives us to accept no more
Become what we were before

Repent, repeat, the history
I'm half the man I used to be
I walked the line
Enhanced with powers never to be seen
I falter in a darkened dream
A winding path that's haunting me
It's black or white
It's my eternal life

As tears are falling from my eyes
I see a world that's upside down
See me bleed I'm on the run

Mechanical Illusion
(Mechanical)
Search through every open door
To end this war
Reset the evolution
(The evolution)
Drives us to accept no more
Become what we were before

Mechanical Illusion
(Mechanical)
Search through every open door
To end this war
Reset the evolution
(The evolution)
Drives us to accept no more
Become what we were before

Mechanical Illusion
(Mechanical)
Search through every open door
To end this war
Reset the evolution
(The evolution)
Drives us to accept no more
Become what we were before

08. Razorblade

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Crossing paths, defending faith
Face the truth, I'm balancing a razorblade
Time has come, the game is on

Step inside a world of pain
I'm divine, I fight so I can break these chains
Let me be the enemy
The rules will never change

Nothing will stand in my way
Adrenaline runs in my veins
Justice prevails and my name's
Has entered the scene I'm

Going up to the top
Never stop
Never give it up, never fall, never drop
You gotta give it up to the beat of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start
Going up to the top
Never stop
Never gonna fail, if you fall you get up
Surrender to the beat from the pulse of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start

Ticking clock, a life in vain
Left alone, the die is thrown a clashing pain
Just a brick, a false charade

Crushing down like heavy rain
Time has come, the ticket to eternal fame
Against all odds I rule this play
There's darkness in my veins

Nothing will stand in my way
Adrenaline runs in my veins
Justice prevails and my name's
Has entered the scene I'm

Going up to the top
Never stop
Never give it up, never fall, never drop
You gotta give it up to the beat of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start
Going up to the top
Never stop
Never gonna fail, if you fall you get up
Surrender to the beat from the pulse of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start

See through the endless array
With the lights that are guiding our way

Going up to the top
Never stop
Never gonna fail, if you fall you get up
Surrender to the beat
From the pulse of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start

Going up to the top
Never stop
Never give it up, never fall, never drop
You gotta give it up to the beat of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start
Going up to the top
Never stop
Never gonna fail, if you fall you get up
Surrender to the beat from the pulse of your heart
And if you don't we take it from the start

09. Future On Hold

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Initiating shutdown sequence

On the verge I'm a fragile design
Will I wake in a world of fire
As a part inside of me just wants to die
Feel my DNA's changing and twisting my mind

There's a monster within me
Let me out of here
Change my destiny

Will I wake with a life to remember
Now I'm frozen and cold
I am left alone
With an empty soul
As I put the future on hold

Needles and cables plugged into machines
My memory's fighting
Half man half machine

What I learned
I was part of a plot
Yet I'm waiting for new directions

There's a monster within me
Let me out of here
From captivity

Will I wake with a life to remember
Now I'm frozen and cold
I am left alone
With an empty soul
As I put the future on hold

Divine
I render the gods design
Humanity's fading
Why can't I die

Shutdown sequence initiated
Shutting down

Will I wake with a life to remember
Now I'm frozen and cold
I am left alone
With an empty soul
As I put the future on hold

Will I wake with a life to remember
Now I'm frozen and cold
I am left alone
With an empty soul
As I put the future on hold

10. Electroheart

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
Restart Electroheart
Deja vu I fall apart
Five minutes falling back
With my Electroheart

I feel divine
It's like I travel faster
As I reboot
The darkness has no empathy

It's hard to see
I feel the world is shattered
In tears they cry
Am I about to be erased
About to be erased

Soulless torn apart
Born to die right from the start
Cyanide runs in my Electroheart

Restart Electroheart
Deja vu I fall apart
Five minutes falling back renewed
Recharge Electroheart
Never left it from the start
Timer set I left the past for you

And as silence surrounds me
With echoes of cries
From my imminent life
With my Electroheart

I plant the seed
To make them struggle harder
I reap their tears
Bring harvest from their misery

Repent, repeat
The force of life is scattered
Indeed I try to cleanse it
To infinity

About to be erased

Feel your soul depart
Now your flesh is my own art
Cyanide runs in my Electroheart

Restart Electroheart
Deja vu I fall apart
Five minutes falling back renewed
Recharge Electroheart
Never left it from the start
Timer set I left the past for you

And as silence surrounds me
With echoes of cries
From my imminent life
With my Electroheart

Witchcraft
It's out of context
I better come back
With my complexity

Fractals
What can't I bring back
I came in contact
With my depravity

Restart Electroheart
Deja vu I fall apart
Five minutes falling back renewed
Recharge Electroheart
Never left it from the start
Timer set I left the past for you

And as silence surrounds me
With echoes of cries
From my imminent life
With my Electroheart

Restart Electroheart
Deja vu I fall apart
Five minutes falling back renewed
Recharge Electroheart
Never left it from the start
Timer set I left the past for you

And as silence surrounds me
With echoes of cries
From my imminent life
With my Electroheart

11. Transhuman

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
It's unknown what I am for the buyer
Have they cloned the american dream
Stand in line for a higher desire
It's a crack in this mortal machine

I'm enhanced a synthetical fire
I am a product of chaos and entropy
As the dust kicking in I get tired

Failed destiny facing liars
Let me know I'm the one, I am reborn in a cosmic fire
Will I die or return from my demise

Is it already over
Am I falling apart out of the dark
And into a fading white star
Is it already over
I'm descended from dreams
Unnatural light bright in my eyes
And that's why they call me transhuman

I've postponed the transformed revolution
It's a blueprint with silicon seams
Step by step I revoke the illusion
Of the force that's not meant to be seen

My revenge stands for words to inspire
Will humanity see what I need
My adrenaline feeds my desire
To become an immortal machine

Failed destiny facing liars
Let me know I'm the one, I am reborn in a cosmic fire
Will I die or return from my demise

Is it already over
Am I falling apart out of the dark
And into a fading white star
Is it already over
I'm descended from dreams
Unnatural light bright in my eyes
And that's why they call me transhuman

Is it already over
Am I falling apart out of the dark
And into a fading white star
Is it already over
I'm descended from dreams
Unnatural light bright in my eyes
And that's why they call me transhuman

12. Infinity

Music by Olof, Jake E, Elize
Lyrics by Olof, Jake E
How would it end
If the truth was re-writable
Break with the past
Whatever dreams you long for
I've seen what the future has in mind for me

Throwing the spear into the heart of the void
Counting the odds
Like I am out of control
It's like a fight against the gravity

Breaking the code's
Like a mission impossible
Letters that fall
I'm only partly mechanical
My strength is my weakness
Please unfasten me

Infinity, for a moment in time
Will memories be revived
I turn the page in the chapters of life
Infinity keeps me alive

Stuck in a wheel
I'm alive, it's a miracle
What should I do about the pain is this critical
You know that the future looks the same for me

Watching my life
Leaving everything inside of me
While the sun
Devours our history
This time there's no turning back I leave it be

Infinity, for a moment in time
Will memories be revived
I turn the page in the chapters of life
Infinity keeps me alive

Gods, I am letting it out
I've got to chase my skins without
My chains of DNA

Infinity, for a moment in time
Will memories be revived
I turn the page in the chapters of life
Eternity walks by my side

As infinity keeps me alive
