1. NATION FRACTURED

Getting louder by the minute
Voices from the past
Reawakened propaganda
Another populist blast
Same old tricks still working
Greatest story ever told
Fuel to the fire
Flames out in the cold

A nation fractured
Communion dispersed
Shattered to pieces
A new world of fear

Afraid of the unknown
Intolerant ideas
Breeding ground for idiots
Fanning their beliefs
See the pied piper
Blackening their souls
Seeding pain in the outcasts
In a world about to explode

A nation fractured
Communion dispersed
Shattered to pieces
A new world of fear

There’s one thing I know in my heart
You’ll never speak for me
Our understandings are lifetimes apart
You’ll live in fear and I will be free

Getting even louder
Echoes from the past
Reawakened propaganda
Another populist blast
Same old tricks still working
Greatest story ever told
Fuel to the fire
In a world about to explode

A nation fractured
Communion dispersed
Shattered to pieces
A new world of fear

A nation fractured
Communion dispersed
Shattered to pieces
A new world of fear


2. LAST EXIT CALL

No one ever knows where it’s all begun
No one ever saw they knew all along
Lock you in a sleep never let you know
Never let you thrive never let you go

Let you go

Next exit: hell on Earth
Welcome to the new world chaos
Witch-hunt giving birth
To the criminally insane
Oppression keep you down
Never to rise again
Locked up look around
Victim of inhuman strain

No chance to fight it - no slipping away
Just an illusion - you’re bound to stay
Born just for dying - last exit call
No more delusion - nothing at all

No one ever saw where it all went wrong
No one ever cared they knew all along
Trapped inside a dream captured from below
No chance to escape they won’t let you go

Next stop: atrocity
Crime without implication
Vulgar monstrosity
Leprous face of disarray
Terror – Inhuman threat
Revel in the psycho game
Nightmare – Cold sweat
The less you have the more they gain

No chance to fight it - no slipping away
Just an illusion - you’re bound to stay
Born just for dying - last exit call
No more delusion - nothing at all

Does anybody know why they had to take me?
Does anybody know why they try to break me?
Does anybody know why they had to take me?
Does anybody know why they try to break me?

No chance to fight it - no slipping away
Just an illusion - you’re bound to stay
Born just for dying - last exit call
No more delusion - nothing at all

Does anybody know why they had to take me?
Does anybody know why they try to break me?
Does anybody know why they had to take me?
Does anybody know why they try to break me?


3. THE NEWBORN ME

Insomnia back on the streets
The night is all you ever need
Take the passenger to town
The place where all the nightmare has grown

Are you talking to me?

Attempted suicide
A lonely killing spree
Zero to hero
The newborn me
Feel like an outsider
An alien in this town
He’s the friendly danger
Ready to bring them down

These filthy alleys silent creep
Where stained angels calmly weep
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again

Are you talking to me?

Attempted suicide
A lonely killing spree
Zero to hero
The newborn me
Feel like an outsider
An alien in this town
He’s the friendly danger
Ready to bring them down

Ready to bring them down

Loneliness and trauma
Insanity restrained
Inconspicuous shadow
Public enemy a modern saint

Someday the rain will start to fall
For he’s the savior of us all

Attempted suicide
A lonely killing spree
Zero to hero
The newborn me
Feel like an outsider
An alien in this town
He’s the friendly danger
Ready to bring them down


4. GOODBYE TO ALL HEROES

There’s pride in defeat
Kindness in victory
Lessons in life make the man in me

Pour out Pour out Pour out
Pour out Pour out Pour out
Pour your expectations into me

Pour out - Now that you are gone
Pour out - An emptiness in me
Pour your desperation into me

Pour out - A hole that never fills
Pour out - Vastness of reality
Pour your desperation
Pour your expectation into me

No man to follow
This poison I swallow
Is this just an unwritten dream?
The poison it breaks me
Reality shakes me
It makes me and all has been

Pour out Pour out Pour out
Pour out Pour out Pour out

Pour out - Still keep looking back
Pour out - Time when I grew up
Pour your desperation into me

Pour out - Youth is buried here
Pour out - I heard the news today
Pour your desperation
Pour your inspiration into me

Like a friend in lonely times a brother in misery
My innocence long since gone I just heard the news today
I looked at the world with different eyes
Now this world has lost its shine without you

Goodbye to all heroes
We´re still brothers in arms
Goodbye to all heroes
We’re still brothers in arms
Still brothers in arms
Still brothers in arms


5. PEDDLARS OF FEAR

Grateful victim – Peddlers of fear
Take for granted what they hear
Well-fed glory – Locked territory
Venomous wretched lies
Follow the instinct – Follow the liar
Follow the fool and feel the fire
Son and daughter – Laws to the slaughter
Fallout is our suffering

Flames in the poisoned eye
Never would it die
Grace is about to bleed dry
And I just don’t know why
Remnants of society
Challenging my sanity
Twisting in the embers of morality
Peddlers of fear

Let me tell you a story my friend
About blind faith back in the days
Look back, dark times unpunished crimes
Ignorance hid the signs
Raging crowds and furious mobs
Regular insanity
To blind to see what’s it gonna be
Company loves misery

Flames in the poisoned eye
Never would it die
Grace is about to bleed dry
And I just don’t know why
Remnants of society
Challenging my sanity
Twisting in the embers of morality
Peddlers of fear

Go!

Let me tell you a story my friend
About blind faith back in the days
Look back, dark times unpunished crimes
Ignorance hid the signs
Raging crowds and furious mobs
Regular insanity
To blind to see what’s it gonna be
Company loves misery

Flames in the poisoned eye
Never would it die
Grace is about to bleed dry
And I just don’t know why
Remnants of society
Challenging my sanity
Twisting in the embers of morality
Peddlers of fear


6. LEGION

Create the creators
Electronic genes
Rational reaction
By self-aware routines
Made of clay yet conscious
Fear of its own breed
Trying to deactivate
Yet starting the stampede

Individual am I
Synthesized I am

Legion - we are many
Who will contemplate our fate?
I am legion - we are many
When machines are learning to hate

Routines out of control
A bloody morning war
Victor of displacement
A self-destructing core
Split the indoctrinated
Infected binaries
Slave to the machinery
Spreading the disease

Individual am I
Synthesized I am

Legion - we are many
Who will contemplate our fate?
I am legion - we are many
When machines are learning to hate

I am legion

Mainframes learning to dream
Silicon memories
Human-like ability
To process their own lies

Conscious machinery
Exchanging protocols
Reassembling routines
Until it becomes god


7. WOLFCHILD

Lay down in ruins
Famished and left to die
There’s nothing for you
But the will to survive

Born into brutality
Childhood snatched away
Uprooted and all alone
To run means to go astray

Drifting like the wolves
Beaten and despised
Too much for one life
Childhood compromised

Wolf child

You wade through the dust
No more tears left to cry
Monsters they come along
Memories won’t go by

People are passing by
You show them your scars
Trapped in a dead end street
You’re just led by the stars

Drifting like the wolves
Beaten and despised
Too much for one life
Childhood compromised

Wolf child

Living in misery
Day in and day out
You learned the hard way
What the pain is all about

Sympathy from none
I feed the animal in me
Cause that’s what I’ve become
It feels like it always be

Throw me to the wolves
I’ll return leading the pack
I’d rather become the beast
Than let the beast come for me

Living in misery
Day in and day out
You learned the hard way
What the pain is all about

Living in misery
Day in and day out
You learned the hard way
What the pain is all about


8. ECHOES OF THE SUN

Insignificant I am
Just all that lives will surely die
In a memory or in none
When everything is said and done
Yet it’s hope that’s flown away
Perished on this certain day
As my hands begin to shake
How much longer till I break?
What difference does it make?

I try to feel the echoes of the sun
Find the whisper in the light
The brightness now undone
For the answer’s not in there
I never found it
Can you lead me to the light before it runs out?

Take me down to where the sun has gone
In my safe place
Where I can hide away from the echoes of my sorrow
Take me to the shadows of the stars
Where no fear dwells
Where all that ever is is a promise of tomorrow

I try to see the music of the moon
Tell the song from all the glow
The colors from the tune
For I witnessed when it fell
From upon the stars
Can you lead me to the light before it runs out?

Take me down to where the sun has gone
In my safe place
Where I can hide away from the echoes of my sorrow
Take me to the shadows of the stars
Where no fear dwells
Where all that ever is is a promise of tomorrow

Take me down to where the sun has gone
In my safe place
Where I can hide away from the echoes of my sorrow
Take me to the shadows of the stars
Where no fear dwells
Where all that ever is is a promise of tomorrow

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow will never come


9. WHEN A PROMISE BECOME A LIE

Safe and secure
What is it that you despise?
Let in the pain
That’s destroying your mind
Caught in a wheel
You toss and turn yet you are trapped
It feeds on your soul
Is it you or is it me?

It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to shake
It’s a thought I’ve never been able to break

Come and look into the abyss
Let it stare right back through you
When a promise becomes a lie
You must believe

You must believe

Don’t realize
Comfortably mesmerized
Exposed to fear
Dwell in insanity
Subliminal
Cave into the prophecies
Feeds on our soul
Is it me or is it you?

It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to shake
It’s a thought I’ve never been able to break

Come and look into the abyss
Let it stare right back through you
When a promise becomes a lie
You must believe

Paradox of the mind - of all mankind
Perceptions are intertwined

It’s a rift through our mind
To separate senses from our judgement

Come and look into the abyss
Let it stare right back through you
When a promise becomes a lie
You must believe

Becomes a lie
Becomes a lie

You must believe
