Lyrics


1. THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

I can feel the sands of time
Passing through the hourglass
And it shimmers in my eyes
As I linger in the wake
As eternity escapes
I begin to realize

We'll walk a thousand miles just to see for ourselves
Look behind our eyes
Find our hell
And in the light of the sun we go
Through rain and raging snow
To find the things we do not know

I will go
Never laying low
Just tell me how to breathe
And I will make it so
You must know
That this is not for show
And if you are not wise (it will)
Be your demise

Once I walked along a field
Another nightmare in my mind
And beheld the fearful symmetry
Everything was beautiful
Even things that were dead
And I surged with violent imagery

I walked a thousand miles just to see for myself
looked behind my eyes
And found my hell

We come to honor; to stand or die
To pass the hours of our lives
We burn the silence and all the lies
To fuel the fire inside our eyes
We all go!

Come to honor
Stand or die
Fuel that fire in your eyes


2. ROGUE WORLD ASYLUM

She blooms like a flower
As she opens up and wallows in the light
But it looms like die mauer
As we search for what to follow in the night

And now they build another wall again

Come with me and you will see
Our future in debris
First the sun and now the stars are fading
In a rogue world we are free
We have found the colored keys
But I know that we are still here waiting

Waiting for her

She breathes death inside
As we keep trying to nurture her with lies
Now scorched her eyes are blind
Though given time she can recover if we try

But now they build another wall again


3. I KNOW THE REAPER

It ain't always merry
To notice there's a line
Life is kinda scary
When you are left behind
All the loved ones lost to you
Used to be somewhere
You know you will follow too
And you don't really care to just go nowhere

And so you keep them all alive
(In your head)
I tell you I know the reaper
No light and no eternal life
(What I said)
I tell you I know the reaper

Sweetest of all lies
One of everlasting life
No one wants to die
But we do, so we hide
What you fail to realize
Is there's no need to fear
You live on in the hearts and minds
Of those who hold you dear, who are right here

All the others
They already know the reaper

And so you keep yourself alive
(In your head)
You don't wanna know the reaper


4. OKI KUMAS ADVENTURE

I look at the sky as my own
And the light always warms my bones
But the light brings the dark in shadow
And somewhere inside I know

It glows in the freezing night
The midwinter snow so white
In its celestial path in the sky
The great hubnester lies

I refuse to fail, to kneel or bow
No power in the 'verse can stop me now
Leading me towards the dawn of day
The stars above illuminate my way

My burden an awful load
My chest holds a heart of gold
In the stories a child is told
A legend amongst the old

It speaks of a legacy
One of me and my family
And I burn for their right to survive
To be alive


5. FURY

And now I lay awake
My eyes unclosed
The firesnake superimposed
On our barren world tonight
Sumple but supreme
The dragon road
Evil and mean
I hear it soar not far above our world tonight

Now the immortal beast descends on me
Prepares to feast my enemy
Is taunting me to fight
Sumple but supreme
The dragon road
Evil and mean
I hear it soar not far above our world tonight

Nocturnal light and thunder blasting from the sky
The beast is hunting for a prey that cannot die
But this is how it's always been since the dawn of time
And it will always be the dragon fury rhyme

An ancient beast that occupies the high above
A raging monster to be fearful of
Simple aggression purely spawned from mother earth
A true impression of the might of her

Now descend from above
Now descend from above

And now I lay awake
My eyes unclosed
The firesnake superimposed
On our barren world tonight
Sumple but supreme
The dragon road
Evil and mean
I hear it soar not far above our world tonight

Now descend from above


6. OVERWORLD

We've died a million times
But we are not the walking dead
So fucking far from gone,
We jump around and bang our heads

We made our own way
And now we expect some wicked creds
But we will not behave,
We stomp the ground and scream instead

Show me, don't tell me
Walk through the fire

We live as we do to show the world what it could be
What's it mean to you?
Is this a vision you can see?
Heroes are those who don't just accept the way things are
Now, which one are you, the driver or the car?


7. NEED FOR STEVE

We'll give you complete creative control...

Conformity is tainted
By the mark of mediocrity
I never want to be a statistic
Another life unmade and put it to the ground

I will live forever,
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven,
I will leave my mark right here on earth instead

Don't bother with the jilted
I cast my ripples in eternity
Prepare to kill me more than once,
As I echo on in future minds

I will be forever,
I refuse to fade away into the never,
I don't wait for heaven,
I will live my life right here on earth instead

So many under the sun,
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun,
A million miles till I'm done
A million miles till I'm done

I will live forever,
I refuse to fade away into the never
I don't wait for heaven,
I will leave my mark right here on earth instead

I will be forever,
I refuse to fade away into the never,
I don't wait for heaven,
I will live my life right here on earth instead

So many under the sun,
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun,
A million miles till I'm done

So many under the sun,
So many under the gun
But I've only just begun,
A million miles till I'm done
A million miles till I'm done


8. EDGE AND PEARL

I'm infinite, beyond a doubt
No piece of shit’s gonna take me out
And I will not rest until this hell race is over
And the lights go out
I only do just what I believe in
Don’t battle my enemies
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace

Be my prize, don’t go, don’t leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don’t close your eyes
Not before tonight

I live for this, and I cite my pride
Now is the time when to pick a side
Cause you’ll have forever to remember this moment
And how you were denied
I only do what I have to, to win
To wake up our species
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace

Do you fear that It’s no use, that if you fight you’ll only lose what little you have?
Or don’t you know enough to be afraid?
So this is what you choose? fucking silence and abuse? no r 4 u!
Just go back to sleep and die a tool


9. RADIO FUTURE

Can you sense our somewhat misaligned
Attention spans, uninterested minds
Feels like only white noise on the air
A substance without meaning
Who are we?
And why should we believe?

How much more of this can you contain?
Why is it your head feels like a drain?
But you don't have to be an end-link in this chain
Become our counter-culture
Broadcast yourself into
The revolution on YouTube

I don't wanna know
Kill the radio
I will find my own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below
With the antidote
I wanna see the underground
Rise up and soar

Sick of pimps and bland generic blondes?
And poser wannabe fake rocker spawns?
Come now be your own media whore
Become our counter-culture
Unleash yourself it's free
The generation and the seas

It's the way to go
Kill the radio
Time to make your own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below
With the antidote
I wanna see the underground
Rise up and soar

I don't wanna know
Kill the radio
I will find my own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below
With the antidote
I wanna see the underground
Rise up and...

It's the way to go
Kill the radio
Time to make your own transmission in the storm
Hurry on below
With the antidote
I wanna see the underground
Rise up and soar


10. SKIN

In the corner of your eye
I can see into your mind
A shadow beneath your smile
Something hidden deep inside
Silently you wait for someone to see you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left the lies like scars underneath your skin
The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

And you gaze up at the sky
As the clouds are passing by
And you wonder for a while
What it would be like to die
Silently you wish for someone to save you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left their lies like scars underneath your skin
The one you're hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

But you want to be alive
As the self-loathing subsides
And you will not be denied
So you push their lies aside
Violently you burn for someone to feel you

Claw your flesh from off your bones
Face that fire on your own
Embrace the life you thought that you could never know
Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within
They left their lies like scars underneath your skin
The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in


11. DARK CITY

I can feel the fire deep inside, it's burning brighter
We burn a raised fist and my pride,
I sway
To the beat of our decay, the horsemen on their way
And in this mob a crescent line to hide behind
Here in and of the dark, our city, it's streets and walls
Here we live, we are, inside our homes and malls

I walk across the dead train yard,
Remembering who we are
I look inside and in my heart,
We're never far apart

I can't see the mountain over me, the Serpent Hollow
The silent fortress underneath,
I sway
To the beat of our decay, the light of harder days
And fires hide the black island, the toxic sand
Dancing city lights glowing against the sky
Snowing, shimmering, shine dust in our eyes

I walk across the dead train yard,
Remembering who we are
I look inside and in my heart,
We're never far apart

And in the yellow velvet air
I carve my name without fear
A witness to the birth of me,
This garden of concrete

I walk across the dead train yard,
Remembering who we are.
I look inside and in my heart,
We're never far apart

And in the yellow velvet air
I carve my name without fear
A witness to the birth of eve
This garden of concrete


12. ROCKET DRAGON

I wield the true all-seeing eye
My vision digitized and bright despite the veil of night
Those really people on my screen?
They run around in panic in between places to hide,
As I tear up the street outside

Run, run away or remain with the ones
With nowhere to go as the sky falls to earth

Stay down if once you have fallen
It’s all coming down
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound of a demon in search of its prey?

I long to give them all a taste,
A sudden breath of hellfire raised to send them all away
A few more souls to make my day

As I burn down and murder I know that god forgives
‘Spite all the things I’ve done,
My soul yet forever lives
All those caught in the shadow of my wings have cause to Fear
I swear on all I’ve done
No evil shall linger here


13. NOVA PROSPEKT

Jack in, let's spread some hate
Handout of pain awaits
Oh my, the fire rate
We'll need those supply crates
Stock up on weapons and ammo before you go

Do we make our own fate?
Do we retaliate?
Should we surveil the gate?
Play house and police state,
To keep all those imaginary wolves at bay?

Time for the final blow
Last stand, now go go go
The time for running now is over
You will reap what you sow
Payback for what you owe
No more, we won’t just hand it over

Do we shape our own truth?
Do we lie to our youth?
Do we place our own creed
Above our enemy's
We tell our children who to hate and who to be

In for the final blow,
Last stand now - go, go, go,
The time for running now is over,
This ain't no tic tac toe,
You will be thoroughly pwned -
You are outnumbered ten times over.


14. GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

Friend me, follow, fan and like
Say, what’s on your mind tonight?

Just as well when the real world feels so small
We are gods here, and we can reach it all
I can hear the whole world call

Cast a light on the walls and lives of a generation online
We excel at passing time, and we share our hearts and our Minds

Oh, how we’ve waited for this
Art, expression, and shared playlists

Just as well when the real world feels so small
Alone and always staring at these walls
And I can hear the whole world call

Cast a light on the walls and lives of a generation online
We excel at passing time, and we share our hearts and our Minds
Wake us up if they play our song and we might just sing Along
But until then we won’t wait, we have found our own place to Belong

I don’t even know where I met you,
But the facebitch won’t let me forget you
Though I’d still rather than to disconnect
The greatest show on earth is right here on the net
And we are a part of it


15. FORCE FEEDBACK

Take a look across this vast uncharted battlefield
You still don’t know your enemy
A bunch of pissed off freaks with infinite mad skills
And a newfound taste for blood

We made this life
You have no place here
No right

This is the world you’re in,
And this is where ours begins
A borderless nation of thoughts to replace
Your walled-in existence in space

We are like sleepers, we hide in plain sight
If you can’t see you can not fight
This is a war between our culture and your laws
With millions born into the cause

Now we’re taking it back
You don’t believe me?
(Force) feedback

I don’t think you understand
These are our shores and our land
You are a stranger here
And we won’t be idle as you interfere

"You don't want to understand our reality is free here
We are not your servants
This place doesn't belong to you
We are an assembly of countless individuals
You should be aware
If you intrude upon our lives
You'll have to face an unimaginable enemy
Prepare yourself"

Sure you already know,
That your age was long ago
We augment reality online
And you hail from ancient times


16. PAPARAZZI (LADY GAGA COVER)

We are the crowd we're c-comin' out

Your papa paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous chase you down until you love me
Papa paparazzi
