"Take This Life"

"Take This Life"


It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And curse my fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
The echo calls my name
[Pre Chorus:]
If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see. Make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
[Chorus:]
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
The rain drops just beg to hit me
What now? Hasn't rained for days
No time to play hide-and-seek
I call on you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn all my efforts
In the end it means nothing
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
[x2]
These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts, will keep me free and
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]

"The Attic"

"The Attic"


There is someone in the attic
Building a strange machine
Never really seen him
But I think he works all day
Blinded by the world outside
I stay inside
Hardly know my name
But it's getting better by time
I saw something in the mirror
Someone's watching me
If I hide in the attic
He will never get to me
I found some rope on the floor
I have to build a trap
So I started on my machine
I'm never to be seen

"The Chase"

"The Chase"


The chase
A wild one
Has to become
Figuring out where you need to be
Find the pulse
Into with all you see
It's infront of you
Every other way
Leads to the same old great wall
Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me
In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me
Sometimes it's hard to believe
The stories remain
I should just force right through
I guess it's for a reason
we waiting in line at the station
Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me
In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me
Have faith in me
Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me
In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me

"The Chosen Pessimist"

"The Chosen Pessimist"


Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on
(Who's friend or foe?)
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying (slowly)

In many ways I'm the burden that divides us from the light
In many ways you're the halo that keeps my spirit alive

Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase the free will and watch me heal

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying...

Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here
But as the chosen pessimist

I carve my name in stone
I carve my name in stone

Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here

How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith I'm dying...

"The End"

"The End"


I got a new kind of fear
Something you don't wanna view
There's this path that I can see
It leads straight to misery
We can't undo what we have done
Just face what's up ahead
We fight and we stumble
The fuse is lit, you better run now
I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
What if I say to you
Let's leave this earth for a while
A perspective from the hollow
And the wheel we can't control
I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
And the emptiness in space
And the emptiness in space
When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back
When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back
When we were young
Was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing
We need to find our way back
I can't tell you what to do
This crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become
We'll be outlaws on the run
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end?
That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath
And the emptiness in space

"The Hive"

"The Hive"


April night-tyme
And we run like muscles through the stagnant nodes of man
Blood-bridges lean towards the gaping synapses
to disarms the stars within us
Hornet Hive-dark
Severed wings in vainless beating
buzz out from inferno of fangs
to disarms the stars within us
We should have been
so much more by now
Too dead inside
to even know the guilt
Waning Ring-deep
a halo of thorns
Sips now down in the sheets of sharp silver
to disarm the star within us

"The Inborn Lifeless"

"The Inborn Lifeless"


Close your eyes and pray the wind will take me far away
Life is like a stone behind my back of a second degree
Start
Life is a feather of fall between the monument tear
Like a powder fragile the one that blows behind the
Faithful dead
All the doors of eternal gray
This weakness take beyond the dream
With a silent void you're left while you can hardly breathe
Vastly they destroy the tears of my lies
Fears are fading away, robbed to face the bitterness
In search for my dear
Castle burries the bite of a queen
Wherever the sorrow rises from distance like a rainbow
I'll be there again, to weep behind with my tears
Heyargh!
Wake me
The second lifeless to be

"The Jester Race"

"The Jester Race"


Rush faster on the one-way lane
the answers so silent

Rusty gods in their machine-minds armours
grind our souls in the millstone of time
the "deathbed harvest" is dead man's banquet
of mould ridden bread and black, poisoned wine

And we go..our steps so silent
And we go..our blooded trace;
The Jester Race

Calling our to the gathered masses;
their answers so silent

And we go..

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age
that speak of silence and silence alone

Offering the tokens, the reliced idols
to the heirs of the newly raped ground
inferior even to the transparent winds
lesser in motion and sound

And we go..

There is no trace of me
in their altered blueprints of life

Gaia impaled on their horns and lances
to fumes from her body give case
as the throng of blind mind savour the scent,
dream-dead from prosaic and hate

Sunwind strokes the electroheart,
ignition roars through the corridors,
stream launching the binary vessels

Vanities in extreme formations
ride into tomorrow's rigid great face
The Machinery outlives the futile scripts
of our dying jester race

"The Mirror's Truth"

"The Mirror's Truth"


This spectacle, our collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in.
I guess, we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth
Should I join the feast?
Should I acknowledge the leash?
A future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be.
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this light explode.
The bleeding, we deceive them
Fuel the life that fades
At the height of reason
We shouldn live by your laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope.
[x2]
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear

"The New Word"

"The New Word"


The great word of blessedness
And a feeling of ease
A cup of the well of freedom
And life we joyfully drink
Inside, all was new, but outwards
Nothing had changed

An escapade,
Then to the altar to
Evaluate all parts
Of the great mystery
But all remains
On the same spot,
No signs of a new season

In my hand is a new word,
But the word is still
Without a body
A hidden life-stream that
Swells in the deep
Will soon give the word
A 2nd face
