"In My Room"

"In My Room"


Here in my room
I'm behind the wall
I'm out of reach
I don't sympathize
Adjusting the level of delusion
Feel like you're one of the sane
Encoding the white noise
Lose my way and fall again

Creating dreams from a broken past
It tears a hole and sucks you dry
If you know secrets tell me now
Creating dreams, let the worlds collide
Escape the void and feel alive
Don't have any answers but I'll survive

Here in my room
I'm behind the wall
Away from the flock
Closure will come
Adjusting the high of expectation
Feel like you're one of the brave
Dig deeper
Find a new path and climb again

Creating dreams from a broken past
It tears a hole and sucks you dry
If you know secrets tell me now
Creating dreams, let the worlds collide
Escape the void and feel alive
Don't have any answers but I'll survive

"In Plain View"

"In Plain View"


The fire
My heads all wired
In plain view
There's nothing in the way
I see with clarity
The eye of destiny
But just a little spark
And once again... I don't know
Deep inside
The memories that are left behind
Close my eyes
I've been hopelessly lost in the fear
Are we the only ones?
It's all dark in here
Do I just waste my time?
Searching for exits in infinite space
Deep inside
The memories that are left behind
Close my eyes
I've been hopelessly lost in the fear
Are you for real?
All the lights
All the lights
Is that the future
Or another lullaby?
The fire
My heads all wired
In plain view
There's nothing in the way
I see with clarity
The eye of destiny
Deep inside
The memories that are left behind
Close my eyes
I've been hopelessly lost in the fear
Deep inside
The memories that are left behind
Close my eyes
I've been hopelessly lost in the fear

"In Search For I"

"In Search For I"


It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness
Make the pictures fade

Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I will be

The sentence is light
But my eyes see a different world
And all I do is turn into flames

Will time open my vault
New solution, I'm begging
Break the fuse that holds me back

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

Distract, push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into
It's getting old
Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a re-make
To make up for my mistakes

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?

What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

"Insipid 2000"

"Insipid 2000"


Should I defend you for who you are?
The laws are changed and useless!

On their way to a deserted town
Where empty windows wave goodbye
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
I'm changed by the shock
And the weight of the punch
A helpless excuse, a falling reality

Fragments of a futile being
A puzzle to the noble ones
Ignorant and pitiless they stride

The world around me -
Spartanic, minimalistic
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
The large scale plan that once where
You've now drained from life
A helpless excuse, a falling reality

Who knows the proper reasons
Why it all begins and ends?
Ignorant and pitiless they stride

"You are but a form",
The clean, harsh silence passes
"Genuine" visions by the noble
Ones for the noble ones

"Jester Script Transfigured"

"Jester Script Transfigured"


Cre-age-aeon
new beginning held in infinite vacuum
Biotronic test-world free of inscription
devoid of the echoes of man
noble savage cyborg
In the cold ceremonial perfection
more radiant than the sum of suns
with each and every attribute
of animal machine and man
Dystopia ElectroHeart
the grotesque and the linear
took one final giant blow
into the Ram of
what is us
Installing awaiting the restoration of unsequenced chaos
We've only seen the outlines of the beggining
and this core the slowly moving raptor
will make the very notion of Hell
seem celestial in comparison

"Jester's Door"

"Jester's Door"


I say goodbye to you all at once
Don’t dare to face you all alone
I went from wreckage to world class
With a box of T-shirts and some records to sell
But times have changed
I have to defend my actions
The foundation crumbles and I have to leave
Thanks for everything
I couldn’t ask for more
I say “I love you all” as I vanish through the Jester’s door

"Jotun"

"Jotun"


I often dream of huge numb buildings
jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice

And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
imagining it's weight it's silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life
and the priviledge of a 22-kilometer tombstone

Jotun

A body of black
that carried no reflection
defying it's own room
un-earthly eggs of decreation

There would be colonies
mushroom-scattered forever out of context
rising spores from a dying world
to pollute to chase away what's left

Sun-white pulverised desert stone
and serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids
rewriting 4500 years of history
raping the statue of liberty
outplays the acropolis
inverting the fjords
invades the N.Y. skyline to
dream it's own existence in one single final word

Jotun

Can we identify them
as the flint buried in our reptile skulls
or the time-bomb coded in our dna

"Land Of Confusion"
(originally by Genesis)

"Land Of Confusion"
(originally by Genesis)



I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving in, into the streets

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning burning, into the night

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Ooh Superman, where are you now
When everything gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

"Leeches"

"Leeches"


Leeches.
Like leeches
"In ignorance we trust"
If you say this way, I'll take that way
Fuel for the fire on which I thrive

Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech (I know)
You'll be forgotten and gone

It burns, it rips, it hurts

Leeches, they preach to us
Words of wisdom from blocked minds

Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech (I know)
You'll be forgotten and gone

It burns, it rips, it hurts

They make you believe your turn
The chance of a lifetime,
How does it feel to be alive?

A tear for the poet that can't be heard
(And) praise the artist that steals

"Liberation"

"Liberation"


I know what it takes to break you
You know I never sleep
Just because you made them think
Doesn't mean the world will fall into place
Took some time but now you know
Tomorrow is too late
Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return I should
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
If today was your last day, would that change a thing
You probably believe what you told them
Live each moment like your last
I Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return I should
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
I'll find a way and I return I should
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
I'll find a way and I return ...
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
