"Like Sand"

"Like Sand"


I believe that the whole wide world is against me
I, I, I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me

How did I end up here
Half a life and still full of fears
If I'm honest I think you'll see
I'm scared to share what's calling for me
You say, make the most of your time
How's it work when it's not on your side
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So I heard but I'm going under

I will try, I will try
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
(I want the whole world)

I try hard to be like you
You're my Queen but I break in two
I think I can overcome all the mistakes that I've done
You say, make the most of your time
How's it work when it's not on your side
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So you say but I'm going under

I will try, I will try
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand

I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me

I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand

"Like You Better Dead"

"Like You Better Dead"


I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn
I think you're way too cold
Just watch and learn

I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you better dead
And I'm better off alone

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow

Your vision may be in colour, but you look all pale
In these times we should be learning, but with you I'll always fail

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow

I need to save myself before I drown
It took so long to see
The world your mind creates
It pushes me under

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow

"Lord Hypnos"

"Lord Hypnos"


I lie in your soothing arms, lord Hypnos
your garmet alive with your song
I lie in your soothing arms, lord Hypnos

Steep the spiral to your far abode,
in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
and fell like history through the chasm of ages
into the charged, forbidden zones

How I have searched
through a million worlds and faces
yet unaware, I have not found
my own true face, traceless and profound

So, find me in these grandiose halls
where long ago summers eternally fall
and tune the strings of truthful longing
to the frozen music of gods

Hypnagonia's lucid horizons
play with the yearning I've quelled
as I strike towrads the Pantheon
and what therein is held

"Lunar Strain"

"Lunar Strain"


For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space

For there is a knowledge more complex
Than life on this planet
A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars

Lunar strain

All across the milky way
Life suffers defeat
Life that once was treasured

What once was nothing
Has blossomed into form
Once it was I that was nothing
But now they say I will die

All across the galaxy
Life suffers defeat

Lunar strain

From nothingless to reality
As we see it
From nothingless to life
My dismal tears of anguish
Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
Loneliness is pain

Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain
Serenity is might
Yet we shall be honoured
In the starforsaken night

Astral strain
All around my silent moon
Life suffers defeat

Astral strain

For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space

"March To The Shore"

"March To The Shore"


I used to adore you
The lies made sense somehow
Gave myself away without a fight
But the betrayal claims its price

At first I was scared
Not used to a murder's mind
But there was something beautiful
So powerful, so definite, so divine

Pushing the faith
Build out of rage

[Chorus:]
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer!

Is it something that's always been there?
Was it always destined to leave its cage?
I'm glad we met though
I love to release the rage

But everything has its end
And I've done my deed
The final bullet - always meant for me

Pushing the faith
Build out of rage

[Chorus]

But everything has its end
And I've done my deed
The final bullet - always meant for me

[Chorus x2]

"Metaphor"

"Metaphor"


[Verse:]
You stole my pure intention
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You taught me to be sad at you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

[Chorus:]
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
You think you can show me how I've come this far

I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry

"Minus"

"Minus"


[Verse:]
Drug me, infiltrate my never land
Like the floodtide drowning the shore

Drug me, you're all over me
Watch my blood begin to boil

I love that lullaby
Start me up again
Electric spine
Open mind

[Pre Chorus:]
I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

[Chorus:]
Inhale the light
Relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

[Verse:]
Please me, deliver the insane
In the chaos I find peace

Please me, remind the gods of my name
I believe there is one seat left for me

"Monsters In The Ballroom"

"Monsters In The Ballroom"


Without the sense of space or time
The infinite
The endless static
The doubt. We never had a way
Let us play a game
If you take my hand
I'm going to get you out of here
Away from the monsters in the ballroom
And the swinging chandeliers
Tormented minds they wander
Drifting away from the light
I will lift you up my friend
You have to learn to breathe again
Let us play a game
If you take my hand
I'm going to get you out of here
Away from the monsters in the ballroom
And the swinging chandeliers
Unlock the secrets
Let us find the memories
Find ourselves some ruins
Turn them into something
You are lost within
Fading out
A world that threw you away
Let us play a game
If you take my hand
I'm going to get you out of here
Away from the monsters in the ballroom
And the swinging chandeliers

"Moonshield"

"Moonshield"


Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground,
Collecting the tragedies still
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
Carried my cross to the hill

And how I lust for the dance and the fire
Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
Spill me the wind and its fire
To steal of the colors - I'm the moonshield

Shattered hope became my guide
And grief and pain my friends
A brother pact in a blood-ink penned
Declare my silent end

Naked an dying under worlds of silent stone
Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone

And how I lust for the dance and the fire
deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
spill me the wind and its fire
to steal of the colors

I'm the... I'm the... I'm the...
I'm the moonshield

"Morphing Into Primal"

"Morphing Into Primal"


Detonation
Fireworks and alchemy
Genes spliced and triggered
into the future
and her organic cave
Seismorgasmic omnipotence
scenes of magma in my eyes
Eruption stones my system
I owe this to the animal inside
and the stiffness that blocks out the daylight
Morphing into primal
I'll cover every particle
from there to Andromeda
not forgetting a single location
from the throat of Ibis
to the co-ordinate of Matterhorn
My shot is genesis and catharsis
Penetratonaut in a cosmology of lust
Suck this subterrenean creature out
and show it proudly to the house of heaven
With one slight wave of my hand
star dissolves
Dissolve my brain
Block my lungs
I'll die from fever tomorrow
when locked in sych a perfected "now"
