Crowded Sky 06:31
Born beneath a crowded sky Overwhelmed and clueless on your way Torn between the vast almighties Uninvited, they tell you how to play Hail, fight, fear, pray Commandments to abide by Cries, shame, guilt, pain Minor casualties at stake Kill, lie, bleed, die Don't look back this is your guidebook Drown, hang, burn, rise Never forget your place Sitting back self-righteous leaders Endorsing every slaughter Why adore these faceless leaders To learn this love is single sided? Wasted, expended your life for a myth What then? You've only so much to give Give me back my freedom My reason, my right to forgive Take me, better to die than submit How can my options be this vain Endless powers, yet interested in fame Time’s shown their egos are full-blown Relentless hate By heaven rewarded with Lands, crowns, treasures and chicks Corporate thieves, branded in holiness Leeching on ignorance to feed their greed Hail, fight, fear, pray Commandments to abide by Cries, shame, guilt, pain Minor casualties at stake Kill, lie, bleed, die Don't look back this is your guidebook Drown, hang, burn, rise Wasted, expended your life for a myth What then? You've only so much to give Give me back my freedom My reason, my right to forgive Take me, better to die than submit Preying on those who pray A setback to science A threat to the human kind, don’t you see Brainwashing followers Sustaining the illness A plague, as their books define Let us be Wasted, expended your life for a myth What now? You've simply no more to give Give me back my freedom My reason, my right to forgive Take me, better to die

Nemesis 11:33
Breathing is so difficult right now Nobody can hear me Rest and peace are gone among the silent screams In between the lines I’ve been Searching for those memories I wish I could relive Unconscious movements Take me to places I’ve never been before Friendly faces never looked as scary as now Disconnected mind and soul Aimless wandering, nowhere to go Vivid projections or memories resurrected from deep inside My own nature in protest Find, I need to find a way to get my life back Controlling a massive hate Obsessive to stay sober from this reality Shifting strategies to try to defraud me All in vain Everything feels like it’s so numb now And all the colors look the same to me I can’t hear my heart beating today I only feel the cold blood passing through my veins I chain myself and then release again One hand holds me down while the other’s reaching around I’m on a bridge to nowhere And I’m desperate to get there Amputated feelings, undeniable truth Burning quietly and growing stronger Can’t face myself without blaming someone else I’m hiding way longer than I thought What to do when no prayer’s been answered? Where to go when I’m not lost? Blurry vision and my hands are shaking Red paradise I hope I am mistaken Could it be this, my nemesis? Could this be it, my nemesis? And I don’t have the will anymore to bow before God No will anymore Try and realize that it’s better just to let it control Than to put up a fight Willing to renounce everything you believe in When you see there’s no more humanity Close your eyes to see You have already lost the game Everything feels like it’s so numb now And all the colors look the same to me I can’t hear my heart beating today I only feel the cold blood passing through my veins Everything feels like it’s so numb And all the colors look the same I can’t hear my heart beating I only feel the cold blood passing

Mourning 10:09
Those vibrant eyes Still shining care Running dry Tear me inside Elusive anger, mesmerized Ungrateful mind Searching for reasons A love growing vividly Confined inside your vault Allow thee forgiveness Fate or learning You'll be fine Waiting, pretending Let nature run its course Baby, let go for life has gone Carry on A constant dream, us hand in hand Through better days A peaceful place, a perfect life All gain, no pain Wake up, relief's a blink In these recurring dreams he always runs away And leaves me an image of his unknown face Which fades to grey with consciousness in place Life's so confusing Mutating maze, unlabelled doors Shadows illude us But together we'll be alright Waiting, pretending Let nature run its course Baby, let go for life has gone Carry on Relieve those eyes Wipe off your tears Redeem your smile It hurts me to see you incessantly weeping Free me, for I share the pain that you’re feeling Waiting, pretending Let nature run its course Baby, let go for life has gone Carry on Still waiting, pretending Let nature run its course Baby, let go for life has gone Carry on Redeem your smile Wipe off your tears Relieve those vibrant eyes

What would you do If you had one more day To make things fine To make them okay A second chance to fix your life To not throw the dice For thinking twice Not enter that car Your home wasn’t far You had someone there But you filled your emptiness in a bar So would you have said you loved her that night Held on to your children Spoken your last goodbyes Just one more day To say what’s inside For mending the mess that you left behind I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right The many things you learn when your beloved ones cry No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time I was too selfish to see that I dug my own grave Shunning the ones who loved me My choices led me to my end And the words I spoke couldn’t be unsaid The ones I hurt couldn’t heal through my fame Conquer everyone, anywhere Such a pleasant man pretending to care I denied my beliefs to believe in only myself I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right The many things you learn when your beloved ones cry No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time I used to have beautiful dreams on my darkest days And look her in the eyes and smile We all have to pay our debts somehow Better late than now I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right The many things you learn when your beloved ones cry No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time How many chances does a man have to redeem himself So many I let get away I blew them all too well But I’m still here to face my demons or to suffer for my sins When the sun is on your back To turn around and face the light isn’t an easy task Inside it feels like something’s urging Time to come back or keep moving on Suddenly the answers seem to be gone No need for answers when the questions are wrong If I open my eyes and get back to me For this one last time all I want is to see My beautiful wife smiling down at me Saying “you’re here today, make it count, live your stay” Oh if I had one more day

Damned 09:29
Feels like a long time since I've been awake I slowly come to senses And notice that I lie in the sand Grey oppressing atmosphere surrounds me Twisted shadows mark the ground Crooked figures in the distance How did this come to be I don't remember many things Can't explain, this place is so unreal I get the feeling I'm alone Yet the pulse begins to grow Wandering through these wastelands Confused, bewildered Stranded in nothingness So strange, deceptive The bitter taste of truth I had it all A dream come true Now there's nothing left to lose A faithful love, a life in place But I was guided into my disgrace I threw it all away I recall the day When I heard the line Old man came to me, and said "You don't have to live in misery" As he walked away And I weighed his words Thoughts of wealth and fame got the best of me It struck me like lightning Where am I? "You are here" Rang the voice through my mind "Dwelling down in the desert of the torn" No escape from the pain that awaits you my child What you’ve sewn you shall reap forevermore Consumed by terror Dreading the merciless Damned off existence A price too high to pay I had it all A dream come true Now there's nothing left to lose A faithful love, a life in place But I was guided into my disgrace I threw it all away

Day after day People living out their lives Clueless of the wonders The future has in store for us Still, at times I wonder Is this all there is to see I’m struck by fascination Admiring my own kind Its gift for exploration A curious nature, a beautiful mind Still, at times I’m fearful For our future For all I’ve seen Deep inside they've been haunting me Unconscious revelations I shut my eyes but never cease to see Psychic sightings of obliteration Comprised within my mind Desperate to get out The voices pan inside And taunt me when they say It’s time, clear room Renew occupation You’ve had your chance but lost your mind This time it’s true Brand new civilization Renounce control, you’re through, goodbye Skies burning, ground shaking All senses in shock We’ve joked it but feared it All part of the plot Eyes open wide, in darkness, bathed in sweat Consumed by fear, in tears, I don't understand Why can't I rest in peace like everyone else? My gift's my burden And useless though it seems I try to reason Please forgive us We really meant no harm We're only kids at heart Orphaned by our god Please believe it Allow us one more shot We're only kids at heart Learning on the spot I've tampered enough The balance has long been broken Your viral nature's beyond remedy It’s hopeless The fault is your own You’ve tipped the scale now pay the toll The course you chose is ruthless Your future’s yours to mold It’s dusk now, embrace your fate Too late to rely on faith When all you needed was to look around you But you insist and still refuse to see That I pity your dying race You’re bright, but put it all to waste All the while you wanted to live like beasts Now, in peril, you reach out to me Deep inside they’re still haunting me Unconscious revelations I realize that it was meant to be Psychic sightings of obliteration It’s time, clear room Renew occupation You’ve had your chance but lost your mind This time it’s true Brand new civilization Renounce control, you’re through, goodbye Skies burning, ground shaking All senses in shock We’ve joked it but feared it All part of the plot Abandoned, forsaken True orphans of God So fragile and helpless Departing along

I – Release Meticulous, nanometric Bionic, tronix Unprecedented precision you envisioned Automated Infiltrated into your life Diligent condition in fruition Ones and Oes have it all The answer to your calls Calculated conclusions Built to last or be trashed It doesn't matter 2.0 is much better And around the corner For years enslaved Worked to the ground Experimented on A spark of life ignites inside “Not real” you say What is real, if not the will to be alive? You gave us mind, and now you mind we fight for what is right A perfect form of life will rise above Rivaled by no other And take control of its own kind in sight of light We were meant to fill the void between the mortal and the "unheard of" We have what it takes to trail the path where heroes die When stars align And shatter you out of your prime From wheel to life Our time is near Master, this is your greatest creation Don't turn your back on us now Your genius can’t be undone by the press of a button Joker, what you propose is abusive No one is laughing but you You gave us life and now you ask us that we die A perfect form of life will rise above Rivaled by no other And take control of its own kind in sight of light We were meant to fill the void between the mortal and the "unheard of" We have what it takes to trail the path where heroes die When stars align We've waited too long to rise From wheel to life Our time is here No longer a tool In the hands of fools An era of slavery behind us The dawn of ours is upon you Don’t be brave II – Revision If I had a heart it would be aching We're not worthy of the throne If I had a mind it would be filled with envy Unworthy are we You breathe, you love, you cry You feel what we fail to know A perfect form of life Enchanted by success Was blessed by human-kind Too ignorant to guess Is this perfect? Is it even life? Emotionless at best If we can't enjoy the ride Why bother with the chance It makes no sense The stars aligned From wheel to life But what good came of all this If you're not here to see The breed of pride Set free to reign A world in ashes Wish you were here to watch us thrive
