Scrolling down in paradise
Absorbed by the next device You live alone, we live alone Castaway and insecure A wonder world that isn't yours The dream is gone, your time is done Become useless, recycle yourself Or be replaced by something else You must improve but you can't follow So there you are, straight in the bin, you'll go! So there you are, down the crusher, you'll blow! So there you are... No more! Over-obsessed with comments feed Distracted by some silly scenes You are someone, like everyone Hypnotised and plastified You might forget to live your life Wasting your days, expiring date Out of function, no longer used And your model discontinued Signs of the time are starting to show So there you are, stacked on the shelf, you'll go! There you are, smashed to pieces, you'll blow! There you are... No more! Being a brand all of your life You're being used to advertise A follower goes with the flow So there you are, no one will ever know! So there you are, no one will ever know! There you are... No more! A new era has arrived Is there some use for mankind? The time is still ruled by the sky 02. The End Of Dormancy
Uncertain sky, ocean of silence
Nothing in sight, only storms in the distance Gear up, meeting point at zero hour It looks like this is far from over Signals coming from deep space giant void Magnetic shields are ready to deploy Unknown waves are rumbling stronger Confirmed, this comes from underwater I always thought this could be real Always assumed it was near Not having a single doubt Not having a single thought The wake! This is the end of dormancy The wake! Something from the bottom of the sea These kinds of things can't be revealed Who would have thought? Who would believe? Fear of the unknown will stay on Because no god has ever saved anyone The wake! From the seabed underneath The wake! millions of years of dormancy The wake! Recharged by the waste of energy The wake! This thing will change our destiny Speakers: To all vessels, keep you position Chants: Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Speakers: All units, ready to counter-attack Chants: Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Under the surface, gravitational waves Abyssal hurricane from the alien base Trans-fictional sky engulfed in flames Too late to retreat, too amazed to relate Time is stretching, movements divide The course of events suddenly modified Melted in the structure, bodies petrified Staring at me asking for help before they die Here I am laying on a bed Some kind of device over my head Where am I? Some place I've never seen Some hidden secret facilities Blurred shadows keep asking me if I remember What happened that day, about a mission failure Should I pretend that I don't know? I have the feeling it is time to go... GO! I have to escape and I'll tell you why I have to escape and I'll tell you why I'm the only one who survived! I'm the only one who survived! They're after me...! They're gonna get me! This is what happens, when... You know too much! 03. Orb Confusion
Woke up this morning
And maybe I should be afraid Weird news are leaking Red flags arise in my brain Strange things occurred far out in the deep space Ocean disaster, a mission that failed Forecasts of conflict Frenetic panic, all hell breaks loose Cosmic polemic High madness on the move Into the spiral, agreed or denied Fast rotation in a vortex of lies Now! What should I do? Where do I go? How to escape? Now! Orb confusion! Spreading in no time The viral news are still on Whole cities on fire Chaotic religious breakdown Leaders of nations are hiding away Maybe the fate of the world is at stake? Now! What should I do? Where do I go? How to escape? Now! Orb confusion! No more incredulity No more false reality I always knew This could be the truth Now it's undeniable Now it's irreversible It's not a lie It fits so right It's scary, it's crazy Scary! Crazy! Social structures falling down 04. Iconspiracy
In the desert of unknown tales
Gold temples of war disgrace From the secret vault of Holy Power Magnified field blasting tower Psychotronic weapons are being used on you! All of you! You'll never notice the effects of the waves But soon enough it will reach into your brain The frequencies will make you fit in a frame You will become a modulated social slave Aim for masses Skyward Inner access Mindwarp Deep inside an obscure tunnel Circling around an underground channel Machiavellian accelerator All controlled by the lords of terror Psychotronic weapons are daily use on you! Yes it's true! Interaction in your dreams while you're asleep Reformation of your feelings and your needs The true self goes then you follow like a sheep You'll never know all of your life who took the lead Aim for masses Skyward Inner access Mindwarp Why? Such a coincidence, no evidence, nor signs of a crime Why? Of course no one survived, witness suicides, all proofs denied Why? An Iconspiracy, why can't you see, I'm blind but I foresee Why?!! Lies! Everything's rigged from within You'll never win, and you don't decide Lies! Another act of god triggered by satellite Instant starvation and the world to divide A new imposter got elected overnight But Psychotron keeps us focused on our lives Aim for masses Skyward Inner access Mindwarp 05. Spherical Perspective
This nice spot that I found
Connected to the ground I'm staying here all night Staring at the open sky Till my eyes... Bleed! Then my soul starts to fly Far from the chaos of this life All these calls seem unheard For the lost cause of this world! This forest where I hide Away from the city lights It's where I meet my peers Those who are no longer here Till my heart... Bleeds! For so long, I've been out there Being strong in despair But tonight, I'll get lost Till my bones turn to dust! Hard to be heard No one is listening You can't be seen If the sun refuses to shine Why should I be? If this life has no meaning I'm travelling far away out there Through the sky deep in my head I escape! Feelings get hurt And no care is given Such a lonely star In darkness confined Look up at the sky See me passing by I'm waving goodbye Enjoying the ride For so long, I've been out there Being strong in despair But tonight, I'll get lost Till my bones turn to dust ...Tonight 06. Event Horizon
Water keeps on rising and there's no solution
Miles of ice fade away, what a correlation Global mess refugees in a mass mutation Our own enemies are lost in misconception Micro-bacterias resurrect from their sleep Frozen deep in the past, heat is all they need Emissions in the air, a prehistorical disease Spreading our everywhere, a virus is released Tell me what it's like Not knowing where you'll be sleeping at night Aren't you afraid? Knowing this world will neve be the same Now it's too late And we are to blame irreversible process is engaged! This is way beyond, way beyond, way beyond Speculations Way beyond, way beyond, way beyond All predictions Since your birth A microchip implanted under your skin Where you are, what you do They sure know everything No privacy, no dignity, no self whatsoever This entity, identity, you're a barcode number Does it feel right? Preconceived future is ruling your life Oh! What a shame In the name of progress we fall in disgrace It's a new phase We have to face Irreversible process is engaged! This goes way beyond, way beyond, way beyond Expectations Way beyond, way beyond, way beyond Any fiction Way beyond... Ahh! The human nature always needs more power Only cares for now, don't look any further Again, again, again, again Ahh! These human failures, born to overtake Steal from brothers, repeat the same mistakes Again, again, again, again Ahh! Tomorrow is so grey Doomy sky, dark landscape Evil eyes, ravaged face Dead zone signs, minds encaged As we go, the level rises The tension grows, the world is divided The call for war, decisions made In space we burst without a trace 07. Always Moving
In my inner galaxy
Is there something left for me? Through the mirror there i go Always moving As we speak, the end is near You're farther than you appear Gaining seconds in your time Always moving Fast! In a maze of your own Passed! Through the gate Fast! In your act you have shown Passed! What it takes In my future memory Side by side, seperately We both live on layers of chrome Always moving As we meet our final days The spinning core disintegrates In raging speed we'll soon collide Always moving Dragged by the sun Steady on the run Caught in a race Unlock a new space Purged in a course Driven by the force Time is our mind What we left behind In a coil, ride the void, past destroyed Spirit interface Laser souls, crack the molds, Distance folds, depth illuminates Neutralized, sterilized, purified, energy remains In the crust, from the lost All across, life regenerates To the ones, in the realm of the dead You'll be forever living in my head To the ones, those I miss the most We'll be together lost in the unknown To the ones... Fast! In a maze of your own Passed! Through the gate Fast! In your act you have shown Passed! What it takes 08. Sonic Mycelium
This nice spot that I found
Connected to the ground I'm staying here all night Staring at the open sky Till my eyes... Bleed! Now, what should I do? Where do I go? How to escape? Now! You will never switch him off When you're hypnotized Don't you dare to call his bluff He's well organized... In a coil, ride the void, past destroyed, spirit interface In the crust, from the lost, all across, life regenerates! The wake! The wake! Look up at the sky See me passing by The wake! The wake! I'm waving goodbye Enjoying the ride You live alone, we live alone! The dream is gone, your time is done! In the desert of unknown tales Gold temples of war disgrace From the secret vault of Holy Power Magnified field blasting tower! Fast! In a maze of your own Passed! Through the gate Hard to be heard No one is listening You can't be seen If the sun refuses to shine! Feelings get hurt And no care is given Such a lonely star In darkness confined! Dragged by the sun Steady on the run Caught in a race Unlock a new space In my inner galaxy Is there something left for me? Through the mirror there I go Always moving... Always moving... Scrolling down in paradise Castaway and insecure A wonder world that isn't yours You might forget to live your life This is the end of dormancy From the seabed underneath Millions of years of dormancy This thing will change our destiny This is way beyond Way beyond, way beyond Way beyond, way beyond, way beyond This goes way beyond Way beyond, way beyond Way beyond, way beyond, way beyond Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh! It's scary, it's crazy Scary! Crazy! Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh! It's scary, it's crazy Scary! Crazy! A new era has arrived To the ones! Is there some use for mankind? To the ones! The time is still ruled By the sky, the sky... To the ones! |
