"Clad In Shadows '99"

"Clad In Shadows '99"


Reach for your razor
Cut through the dawn
See through your inner wrath
keys shan't open the doors

Behold my heart has stopped
My lungs are laid the final rest
And still I see and too I feel
Yes, but to earthly eyes I am gone
To the lands where legends never die
Take me to the twilight land tonight

Again and again and again, every night
The darkness climbs through my walls
Where the screaming is silent to the corrupted ears

Never to any man I will spear
My speech it has no value
Eyes that have seen the sights
Bleed through the ages eternal

I ask no more
A life has just begun
Never, never see the sun
And do I miss it?
No, my eyes are black
Emotions fled through eyelids closed
Throne of thorns
Clad in shadows

"Clayman"

"Clayman"


Your self control makes me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection, a mess without words
(And) As the seasons change I'll continue to ignore
The image I project - me without me
The picture that I scanned is borrowed

After the education you stopped making sense to me
Seems to me that it's all the same, time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural art
Spending to much time with myself
Trying to explaining who I am

How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
(Suddenly) I feel so invincible
I'm the sculpture made out of clay

I need someone to break the silence
before it all falls apart
I need something to cling onto
before I break you in parts

So afraid of what you may think
And all the plastic people that surrounds me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatural art

"Cloud Connected"

"Cloud Connected"


[Verse:]
People like you
You live in a dream world
You despise the outside
And you fear you're the next one
It's in your dream
There's just one question
Should I kill?
Or should I be left behind?
Sick and tired
Of all your complaints
This is the hour
We bring it down
[Chorus:]
I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected
[Verse:]
You seem to be
So introverted
How come we fail?
With all that is given?
You crossed the line
You remembered my name
Time runs backwards
As we're heading that way

"Cloud Connected (Club Connected Remix)"


People like you
You live in a dream world
You despise the outside
And you fear you're the next one

It's in your dream
There's just one question
Should I kill
Or should I be left behind

Sick and tired
Of all your complaints
This is the hour
We bring it down

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected

You seem to be
So introverted
How come we fail

You crossed the line
You remember my name
Time runs backwards
As we're heading that way

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected

Cloud connected

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected

I've come to realize
Cloud connected
I was told that I could fly
Cloud connected

"Coerced Coexistence"

"Coerced Coexistence"


I'll take you on a ride
As a part-owner to my pain
Our ideals they collide
Coerced coexistence
I fought the world today - postpone my birth again
We stumble on and on - but bound to die alone
Pine - I'm selling my soul today
Pine - I need some sympathy
This infiltrates my brain
"In the sunshine the sun is mine"
Pitiless wanderer
Close your eyes and bow your head
Grotesque thoughts in a line
Threw my wings into the blazing sun
Smile stretched on old trees
Eternal Bringing jester masque
Don't hurt a fly they all sing
We're just ants in a great big play
Commercialize-infect-annihilate-progress
Visualize-inhale-pretend-betray

"Colony"

"Colony"


In your world, the day is no threat
In my world, there is an absence of light
"Genetic superior cell" controlled
By the fathomless and unbearable

A radical new Form of plastic and rage
Biologically optimized
But with a strangling pulse

In your world, you find me worthy
In my world, I "parashoot" my life
A virtual drugstore populated
By the fathomless and unbearable

Machine, meat and blood
In an intimate relationship
The new - superior -
More effective than all the preceding

When we can no longer
Cry and reality is torn
Then it's easy to forget
That the responsibility lies on us all

In your world, the night is no threat
In my world, the darkness
Transforms to a vision of hell
Populated by fathomless and unbearable

"Come Clarity"

"Come Clarity"


Rushing through thirty
Getting older every day... by two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Can you add color... inside these lines?

[Chorus x2:]
I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Don't want to live
In a dream... one more day

Sure it would change my perspective
I'm certain I would change today
I'm certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day [x2]

"Condemned"

"Condemned"


So restless,
These walls drain my thoughts
Room 307
Can't find my way out
It used to be my home
This cage, far from my comfort zone
Alive but without control...
Fear is taking hold
I should cross the line
Confront like the blind
[Chorus:]
Hear a distant cry...
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
And discover the living?
I don't recognize my soul
Condemned to live in this black hole?
Dig within time... and crave what is mine.
[Chorus]
I should cross the line...
Confront like the blind
Hear a distant cry...
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
It's a hill to climb
Would be a dream if I,
Design a future and
Not the end of time

"Crawl Through Knives"

"Crawl Through Knives"


The black hole forever mine.
I need fear.
Push me out
Oh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have

If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.

These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.

Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation

It's in my hands.
The sky is so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.

Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Touch the new

If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.

These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.

"Dark Signs"

"Dark Signs"


[Verse:]
Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied
Everything points in the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left, the faintest laughter
[Chorus:]
We're out of focus, we've lost control
I blame our ego and you call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide
[Verse:]
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone
