Tracks



01. Starbreaker

Blinding light, how it burns my eyes
This could be it, how humanity dies

Little did we know, time and time again
History repeats itself, please repent your sins
Wipes the surface clean, life drain through your skin
He let our planet grow, now he's here again

Cosmic glider, defying laws of time and space
Ancient destructor, erasing every failed race

Feel the reign, left in pain, never to be seen again
He's starbreaker
End the lives who live in vain, no one left unslained
He's starbreaker

What can we do to change our ways
Sin after sin, our minds were out of phase

Carved in cryptic stone, we saw no warning
Just self made prophecies, we wondered who was king
Religious conspiracies, where did it begin
But galactic warriors didn't mean a thing

02. Street Machine

Skull and bones etched into your eyes
You never know who's gonna be first or the last to die
Life touches you in the strangest ways
You're swallowed whole behind that empty gaze

One more shot, one more rip, it's time to let life go
Just one more moment to snap out of this horror show
But now you've left a stain inside their hearts
The acts of a selfish mind tore their world apart

Like father, like son, your life had just begun
Take heed on what your mother said
"Some day you'll be someone"

But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
Choke your rights through the lungs
Feed the street machine

The street machine
Can't fight back the winter

Shooting dreams into your veins
Ignoring facts of life, prepare to drag the chains
It's worth it for the kill, go on and shoot the thrill
Your body aches to fire at will

Like mother like daughter,
You're sentenced to the slaughter
Claw the worms out of your skin
This is what you taught her

But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
Choke the right through the lungs
Feed the street machine

03. Behind The Iron

It's high time you have set your sails
Make peace with god, and accept the fail
The gavel took your life away
Chained down, now you're here to stay

Locked up away for murder
Kill after kill was your vice
Here for the one who got away
Now you pay the price of life

Blood lust is what put you here
Craving to watch them cower in fear
Muster up all you can conjure
Freedom stripped as fast as you stripped her

Behind, the iron
Behind, behind the iron
Locked away
Kill the siren

The cage will break you down
Nothing more can be said now
Inside you will stand tall
But man, I've seen the toughest fall

04. Konamized

[Instrumental]

05. Up To You

Dragged down beneath the tides
The weight of sorrow rots inside
The pain waits for you tomorrow
If only there were time to borrow

Only child, bastard son
Some say he's the chosen one
Expectations beyond your dreams
Feel the pressure of a thousand seas

What's to give when you're alone
Eyes upon you, carved in stone
To see what's true
It's all up to you

Shaded future, jaded past
Enough wasted on an empty cask
A glimpse of light is shining through
Someday you'll get there too

This life is yours to fail or compete
Energy's drained as your mind depletes
Time slips without your consent
Take it or leave it, dig your own descent

Now this is it, make your choice
Echoed insane from your own voice
How can good come from this
Reach the peak until you feel the twist

We all die at the end of the path
No matter rank, forget the past
The hopes of glory seemed so real
I roll the dice, because I live for steel

06. Fallen Heroes

Sought after spirits
The ones you wish you could be
It's your voice, I still hear it
The biggest fan is me

Glorified by my own lies
No one cares, until they die
Now they're as big as they'll ever be
Greeting pain with a smile, you see

Cry out your name
Just like we did again and again

Make an idol of a zero
Raise your glass to the fallen heroes

Inflating your egos
This is the life you chose
Wish you could see what they made you be
A false prophet of society

I made believe when I read the news
Within the hour I paid my dues
Now they see that i'm one of them
The woodwork has struck again

Whats your claim to fame
A nobody, and you're all the same
Rot away behind the keys
This is the future you could not foresee

07. Mindless Maze

Truth be told, everyone wants their chance
Forever struggled through the fight for acceptance
Hard sides are false in the eyes of the true
What lies are lies and the problem is you

What's to gain, just more pain and agony
To free my mind would be worth the tragedy
When your demons groan louder than the sigh
The grass looks greener on the other side

Mindless maze
Trapped me once again
In the relentless sea
Collect what's left of me

Wear the mask of resilience
Stand up tall and suffer in silence
Only fools say goodbye too soon
But the devil sung a tempting tune

Like a tear you cannot dry
It haunts you til the day you die
I hope you find peace in time
just reach back behind the shadows of your mind

Mindless maze
Trapped me once again
In the relentless sea
Collect what's left of me

Mindless maze
Trapped me once again
I'm ready
Please, set me free

08. Speed Queen

Your nose in the mirror
Reflects who you are
Someone with no hope,
No chance of raising the bar

The light's shining dimmer
Just paint on the smile
Another notch to your belt,
But we see your heart pumps bile

Using, abusing
All the men just wait for their turn
No concern for the lives you burn

Get your fill,
Crush the pill
Solidify your life as a whore
One step out the door,
They'll be begging for more

Speed queen
You're so obscene
You've conquered bone,
Now you sit on your throne in the scene

Speed queen
She owns the scene
Man after man,
But deep down she wants to stay clean

Your thoughts are a miss
Now where is the bliss
Does it lie beneath the next
Dart breath kiss

Now facing death
Strung out and in debt
More fool me
You have no regret
