Into the Black
06:00

This barren Earth, it has no hold on me
A rotten core resides beneath my feet
Look to the stars, I hear them calling out
I close my eyes and rise to greet my meaning
I am the one...
Who dreams where others don't dare to tread
Beyond the sun...
I fly on wings of gold, yeah!
Into the black...
Light-years from all that is beholden
No turning back...
This is what I was chosen for
A wealth of worlds through all reality
A cosmic cluster, it's only the beginning
Free my mind of this material cage
Lost to the wind that blows through this eternal plane
(My mind has turned to dust
And scattered on the wind
These chains encased in rust
Of what is and what has been)

Drum roll, waiting to take the leap
No more pretending, let it begin
Drop the façade, show my true colours
The world is loud, but I will scream louder
I stand tall when they look at me
No fear of what they see
Clenched fists, I’m made out of steel
Ready to fight my way in
I like it when you push and pull
No taming me, I play by my own rules
I like it heavy, I like it dark
I’m no lady, I’m twice the man you are
Through screens of smoke and flashing lights
Hundreds of shadows rise before my eyes
Heavy silence before the storm
I think to myself, staring back at them all...
My body’s strong, but my mind is stronger!

Hive Mind
04:18
|

Keep your fortune, keep your fame
Keep your ivory towers and your golden chains
Keep your spotlight, keep your praise
Keep your factice dreams, your efforts are in vain
Primordial rhythm
Language of the gods
Darwinian schism
Still we're bangin' rocks
No, not really one of a kind
A million miles from divine
So pull the wool from your eyes
And see the hive mind
Instinctively driven
Adrenaline release
Look at the gift we've been given
This is where I'm at peace
Give me purpose, give me power
Give me illumination in my darkest hour
Give me reason, give me rhyme
Give me a foothold in the shifting sands of time
But are you really alive?
More than a slave to the grind?
The voices echo inside
Obey the hive mind!
Telepathic cohesion
I know you're feelin' me
Hypnotic repetition
Surrender to the beat...
Resistance obsolete
Rejoin your kindred kind
Obey the hive mind!
(Don't fight it
Embrace it
Can't tame it)

Contagion
05:24
|

(Rusted, rotten, expired minds
Running circles, spreading their lies)
Venomous fangs, deep in our flesh
Keeping us dull, keeping us tamed
Don't speak, don't look
Spit out what they feed you
(/Bite the hand that feeds you)
Run free, straight through
Their shields and the armies of (fools)
Airborne sickness, living on words
Modern plague, ruling the world
Sugar-coated kicks in the face
Bringing the worst out of the human race
Only the truth is what you want, is what you need
To break through from what they want you to be
It will take the awakening of a nation
To put an end to the spread of this contagion

The Flood
06:01
|
|||
Feeling like a drop in the sea, like a star in the night sky
Living like another average soul, I wait for my time
Is there more I can be? Is there more I can learn?
Surviving to embrace just one last setting sun
I don't want to vanish without posterity
Since the future is void, now's the time to be free
If our lives had any meaning, would it matter anyway?
Or are we searching all in vain?
Dreaming of the afterlife and what will come of us
Sinking, tumbling like a stone that got caught up in the flood
We are all grains of sand in the desert of space
Foolish enough to think we could make a difference
We are pawns in a game we do not understand
In this circle of life, I need to find my place

They mapped the oceans and charted the skies
Borne upon the waves until their cruel demise
We follow their wake and ride the rolling swell
Seeking shores anew and risking all for tales to tell
We're taking on water...
Wake the captain, sound the klaxon, rouse the crew
We're taking on water...
Batten the hatches, man your station, hold her true
Two... Six... Heave!
In the wake of the galleon
Hear the cannon, watch the sky
The tide is rising high
Now comes the time to fight on
(Fight for your lives)
Under the endless sky all sound takes flight
Black above, as so below, becalmed within the night
We'll hold our course through storm and calm
Our song heard true, our heavy psalm

Skin
03:55

How shall I live?
A hole burns in this pocket deep
The night is young, ain't no time to sleep
Electric frost and bitter taste
Mark the start of this night's chase
Chemical bliss pumps through my veins
Feast my eyes on life's old games
Paint the town all shades of red
Feel alive before you end up dead
Sell your dream to me...
I’ll pay whatever price as long as you make me believe
It comes as no surprise...
Your body’s heaven-sent but I can’t look you in the eyes
How shall I die?
Reality ain't so far from dreams
The world comes apart at the seams
Are we here to wait out the night
Or stave off 'til the coming light?
Neon flesh bared to the air
Stark against the eyes that stare
There comes a time when all must end
With all my mind and my money spent
Morning light cuts like a blade
Through the haze of the night's charade
Is this regret or the price I pay
To rise again another day?

Pulse
11:11
|
|||
Drown in my deepest desire
Feel the burn of my fire
Resist the urge growing dire
Delicious inferno pulling you down from below
You’ve become the prey, my prisoner
I long to devour
Make it last for hours
Watch you take your last breath as I put you to rest
How I love the game that you’re playing
(/How I love the rush that you’re seeking)
Stretched on my rack, yeah, you keep crawling back
You know I know what you’re doing
Oh, I will tear you apart
Shake you right to your core
I will be crushing your body to shards
How the hell could you come back for more?
You’ve picked your poison over and over
The ecstasy lies in the battle
Nowhere to run, no surrender
While you gasp under me, begging for my mercy
Endure all the delights, scalding like the sun
Are you too far gone? Damn right you are!
But until our bodies avulse, be sure that I will
Feed on your thrill, feed on your pulse
