It started as a whisper.
Now try to dodge this roar.
Unified is the most forceful way to go.
Waste this one?
It’s up to you!
We need this revolution.

Destroy the pattern, anything that separates
Across the times, who dares to follow?

For years we wandered these circles
Hold on to whatever lie gets us through

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss.
Us defined is too fragile to neglect.
Reroute to remain.
Reroute to remain!

Never want to look back in greed
Can I please have your attention?

There are mountains to cross
For all that are willing
There are never ending treasures that await you.

For years we wandered these circles
Hold on to whatever lie gets us through

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss.
Us defined is too fragile to neglect.
Reroute to remain.
Reroute to remain!

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss.
Us defined is too fragile to neglect.
Reroute to remain.
Reroute to remain!

I can not frame, that’s why I lose control I aim,
I stumble and I fall
Our adaptation can’t be faithful
Your world does not attract me

This is the end you see
There is no more truth in me
As if you would deserve it
You are my enemy

I can’t ignore the way you make me
bleed I hate when you throw my thoughts
against the wall

Got to wake up and make a stand
The desperation forces another mistake
I count again….I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane
I count again….I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Don’t let these words tear you down
You see me hanging by the end of the rope I tell you……

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

I blame and run, sadly all too often I dive into the day
without your sympathy I tend to try but lack the focus
Becoming a distant memory

What once was is quickly forgotten
All wrapped up inside
Delete all resemblance I feel your relief

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

. . .


[Verse 1]
It’s hard to believe
You could be such a disease
I can no longer separate what is real
Hope that fate will find me safe

All my reflections laugh at me
You made me hide my name

It just feels bad to say,
That there’ll be another day

[Chorus]
What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it’s been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
What you wanted is a mystery to me
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it’s been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright

[Verse 2]
Building a room with no doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the last few drops
Falling into infinity

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

. . .


Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What’s the latest on the screen?
Can’t be too late to turn around
I need all the help from you
I need to find something to blame for a long lost time

I am running from something, I don’t know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what’s real
I’m running in a wheel

Is it dark or is it bright?
What’s the latest on the screen?
Can you please tell me my name,
I haven’t checked it today

I am running from something, I don’t know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what’s real
I’m running in a wheel

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

Avoid infinity?
Are you for real?
Just scratch the surface, and you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

Just scratch the surface, and you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend.

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend.

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few

People like you;
you live in a dream world
You despise the outside and you fear 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
With 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 with all that is given?
You crossed the line
You remembered my name
Time runs backwards
As long as you are heading that way

*chorus*

(guitar solo)

*chorus*

. . .


Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone.
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able to go in any direction
So take the uncertain path

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.

Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
You know you lost when you feel transparent

Be at one with the wind (ever changing)
Even if it’s a struggle
Make this your priority

Open all your senses to new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.

Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don’t lie to yourself.

Secrets left above the grave
It’s not for one to keep.
You’re all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent

You know you lost
You know you lost
You really know you lost when you feel transparent

. . .


The thoughts from yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise

Against the grain
Against the odds

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds

Against the grain
Against the odds

Against the grain
Against the odds

. . .


A mass illusion
Blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline
A strangers contribution
Everybody's on the run
No clue where they are heading

A spineless attempt
Have we lost it completely?
It always ends up in a mess

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

Slow and calculated
Afraid of the sleeping well
Never ever reach the goal

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

. . .


Drug me, infiltrate my never land
Like the floodtide drowning the shore

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

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

I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

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

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

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

I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light
Relax for sometime
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

I leave you, negative behin
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light
Relax for sometime
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind express the forgotten
The world in side is yours tonight

Will we find a solution when we add all the numbers?
Like they are supposed to be?
But no one is close...start all over
If we fail our expectations
We fall into the deepest void
Is there no limit to how many times we will dust ourselves off?
What does it take for sanity to reamin?
Dismiss the cynics...maybe...

The mystery of time
Listen to me carefully
The mystery of time
It's you and me
That's all we need

Would you choose supremacy if it led to isolation?
Could you handle the solitude?
Would you still prefer the throne?

The mystery of time
Listen to me carefully

The mystery of time!
Listen to me, carefully!

. . .


mirror mirror
how far will i go?
despite the foundation
I'm falling
sweet reflection
will you save a place for me ?

where am i heading ?
could you grant me a heaven ?
for what?
I am punished, could i ever repent?

mother nature i'm wide open
waiting for you to move me

don't keep it from me
this is the free fall
this is the free fall

I never seem to understand
the time, the place and who i am
define a way to stay alive
It's like i'm living a lie

father time
every time every time i stop and feel
you're there to tell me
i'm already late

don't keep it from me
this is a free fall

i never seem to understand
the time, the place and who i am
it's like i'm living a lie

i never seem to understand
the time, the place and who i am
define a way to stay alive
it's like i'm living a lie

i never seem to understand
the time, the place and who i am
define a way to stay alive
it's like i'm living a lie

. . .


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 can provide

Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone

(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 can provide

(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 can provide

. . .


you stole my pure intentions
you are the sickness in between
let me in, i'll bury the pain

you taught me to be sad as you
you almost made me take it all
let me in, i'll bury the pain

you bend me and you shake me
you make 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

the sickness that you are
a plague that made me starve
do you think you can show me
how i've come this far

the sickness that you are
a plague that made me starve
do you think you can show me
how i've come this far

i feel it's taking over
everthing falls dark
break me open, the desperate cry

the sickeness that you are
a plague that made me starve
do you think you can show me
how i've come this far

the sickness that you are
a plague that made me starve
do you think you can show me
how i've come this far

. . .


I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you

You say that you have no regrets
But I know that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too

I’ve come to the conclusion - yes, I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale might be wide, but there's no need to be blind
Cause between black and white, there is no room for two

I leave all of the grey behind
I see clear, I know that I’ll find

You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who isn’t
You think that you’re going to be saved
There’s no such thing as a saint

I’ve come to the conclusion - yes, I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale might be wide, but there is no need to be blind
Cause between black and white, there is no room for two

I've come to the conclusion - yes I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale might be wide, but there is no need to be blind
Cause between black and white, there is no room for two
