1. METROPOLIS

A Tumor infesting the earth
The succession is to rot

A mind eating monstrum
That hunger can't be satisfied
A new kind of Babylon
That swallows all

It's neonlight eyes
Illuminating the soil
Of what has survived
Emotionless creatures
Without fear
Of the everlasting night

This is our sacrifice!

Monumental towers of steel
Cloaking the sun
The fog of industries
Painting the world grey

The great machinery feeds itself
With its creators blood
A system that wheels will never stop to harmonize
Without a meaning about harmony



2. RISE AND...

The shining grace / Of our supreme race / Makes us forget / That we are slaves
You never recognize / who's ruling our lifes / Making us belief / That we are Gods
The weakness of flesh / Leaves the burden behind / The decay of mind / Will make us blind
Blasphemy and arrogance / A hint for our rise...

No one is listening
When you're shouting out
Your pain

Oh, how beautiful
It could be
To ignore
Reality

Ignore the wish / Of being more / You are just nothing / Nothing at all
You look at me / Unable to / Understand / What I see
What I feel / is just abnormity / In your eyes / Burns the hate
Blasphemy and arrogance / A hint for our rise...
And fall

Your soul is locked in a jail of flesh
It's time to take the terminal breath
Infinite paths they're all the same
Where you've gone no one remains
No one remains



3. ...FALL

All that is lost, forgotten to us
Not a single tear that mourns our souls
Control instead of liberty
Collective sorrow that leads to death

Onwards into damnation
Take umbarge at humilation
Onwards to degeneration
Flow streams of blood
Onwards into extinction

Onwards into damnation
Take umbarge at humilation
Onwards to degeneration
Flow streams of blood
Onwards into extinction

How long could one suffer this madness
Which resides inside of us
Control instead of liberty
Collective sorrow that leads to death

Catch a dream
Learn to fly
Face your fears
And learn to cry
We will rise, rise and fall
We will die all alone



4. MODERN NECROMANCY

Synthetic blood runs through my veins
Kept alive for their needs
Lifefunctions low
The torture won't find an end
They will never let me die
My body will never rot
The meaning of time is hidden from me
No one knows what happens inside me

I can't share my thoughts
They are lost eternally
My existence is emptiness
It is violating me

The only thing that's left to me
Is Pandoras greatest plaque
Something I sometimes forget
The hope of my awake

I can't remember the sky
My eyes won't see anymore
Collapsed senses
I stare into a bottomless vale
It's cold but I do not shiver
I cry but no tear drops down
The definition of space
Just some empty words

Please let me die!



5. ENLIGHTENED

I have traveled as far as I can get
Beyond the landscapes of men
Mother Earth spreads her legs
To show the insects eggs

Look into the eyes of the one next to you
Focus the person behind
As a part of the disgraceful seed
Not everything is what it seems to be
When the truth turns into a lie

It is just a matter of time
And you start to reflect about the past
When death is near and darkness calls
Enlightend will be their minds

Unnatural visions are darkening my sight again
Can you remeber the feeling to take a moment in time?

Explore the space between your ears
And tell me what you've found
Did you hear the morbid voice
That wants to tell you what to do
Just listen to it
Just surrender to it
Follow me if you can!



6. HORROR VACUI

Some wounds won`t heal
The scars in your reflection
Will keep the rememberance alive
Whose meaning of life
Is to look for the moment
Which justifies birth and death?

Horror vacui!

The deathspiral holds us tight
Leading us the way to stagnation
The wrong men will do
The wrong thing
Out of the wrong reasons
To the right time

Horror vacui!

Repeating until we rise from our excrements
To break the chain of evolution
To become the beast
And the gentleman



7. DEUS EX MEDIO

Reading the truth
From these lairs lips
What we known yesterday
Doesn`t count anymore
Mercenaries of the spoken word

Controlling our opinions
Under the banner of freedom
There is no oath left to be broken
Not a single word
That won`t end in the dirt

The most deadly weapon
In the hands of those
Who are trained in it`s use
Haunting in our dreams
Are the questions of what is behind
Paralised by a wearieness
That makes us feel broken

There is no place for thinking
You just have to listen
It needs attention
Disconnection



8. WHERE ALL HOPE FADES

I drain my fears in a river of dreams
But the waves keep carrying them back to me
I can see the future; see the past
A condition that will last
So I'm taking a trip to the nightmare sphere
To collect some angels' tears
Seeding a rain of heavenly blood
To wash away the spiritual dark

The road ends nowhere
I move on
Civilisation- 25 000 Light years behind
The distance is getting greater
I don't care
We will meet later
I' ll be waiting there

Regulate the memories
Choose the side you want to stand
Fight the inner consequence
You've got to take
The edge of sanity no longer exists
Here we are going to resist
Until daylight comes back again
And the sonority of the rain sustains
