Лесная поляна

1. Stand Ablaze

The time is now
Please tell me how
Set ablaze...
Crying,
Remembering how it used to be
Scarred for eternity
Was it meant to be?
A life in harmony...

Bleeding, regretting...

Solitary life
Committing suicide
Seeking sanctuary
From this world, contrary

Stand Ablaze
Screaming
As the flames caress my face
Stand Ablaze...

2. Everdying

Die
Tragedy, cursing me
Bloodlust, crying, never dying
Bloodlust, crying, never dying

From the cold, shadowed waste
Evil grasped my soul and took my hand

Left alone and filled with desire
A spawn of evil and eternal fire
Timeless, immortal, everlasting hate
Timeless, immortal, everlasting hate
Hate...

Drinking the wine
An act out of love
Consumer of lives
You'll join us tonight...

Behold immortality
A dark eternity
Eternity, eternity...

Drinking the wine
An act out of love
Consumer of lives
You'll join us tonight

3. Subterranean

My tears fall like rain
From the longlasting pain
When I look at your eyes
My heart just dies
Beauty divine
I hope you'll be mine
Open your arms
For all time

All dressed in white
Bringer of light
Spend time with me
All through the night

Beauty divine
Your tears taste like wine
Come to me
For all time My spine shivers with the touch of your lips...
My pale skin turns red when we kiss...
Piercing your nails deep into my back...
As I slowly kiss your ivory neck...

I started to cry after hours of joyful sin...
My tears turned to roses as they embraced your skin...
I gathered them to a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers...
A bouquet of the most secret and ancient powers...

My amber heart started to glow as I died really slow...

5. Biosphere

Slowly the winter wind tears my skin
Blood freezes in my veins
I wish you were here beside me
To release me from my pain
Last night you promised me
You were still in love with me
Please come set me free
From my misery

I love you
Truth be told
I'm completely numb
It got this way
I don't know how
I just can't figure it out

Please talk to me
What do you want me to be?

Slowly twists my pride
Freezing as I die
Coldly I fade away
My life cannot be saved
Slowly the winter wind tears my skin
Blood freezes in my veins
I wish you were here beside me
To release me from my pain

Please try to remember me
Lord please send help for me
Trying, can't you see?
Why must this be?

Please talk to me
What do you want me to be?

6. Dead Eternity

(Re-release Bonus Track)

I bid you welcome to my world
They call me existence
You have just entered through the gate
to your journey towards eternity
This part I control
In the beginning you'll fear nothing
As I climb beside you
Time will be your master in this laborious part of human subsistence
This part I control
Black clouds embraces your soul
Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish
When time takes your life
I will transfer you into the bare grip of thinking tranquillity
Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating
Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness
Nothing can help you now

You'll never be along again
You'll never die again
You'll never be born again
You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity

8. Murders In The Rue Morgue

оригинал: Iron Maiden

I remember it as plain as day
although it happened in the dark of the night.
I was strolling through the streets of Paris
and it was cold it was starting to rain.
And then I heard a piercing scream
and I rushed to the scene of the crime
but all I found was the butchered remains
of two girls lay side by side.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
run before the killers go free

There's some people coming down the street
at last there's someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me
I never done nothing at all.
But I must have got some blood on my hands
because everyone's shouting at me
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
and like a fool I started running away.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
am I ever gonna be free.

And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law.
All France is looking for me.
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
down the south to Italy.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home.

Well I made it to the border at last
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
I just start running blind
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night
Away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me
'Cause I know I show the signs of...

Murders in the Rue Morgue
running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
running from the arms of the law

Murders in the Rue Morgue
running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
am I ever gonna be free

It took so long and I'm getting so tired
I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime
Where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help
It'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind
That my doctor said I've done it before.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
they're never gonna find me
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home.

9. Eye Of The Beholder

оригинал: Metallica

Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
You silence for your confidence

Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express

Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Doesn't matter what you see?
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me

Do you choose what I choose?
More alternives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside to each his own

Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and i
Penetrate the smoke screen I see through the selfishlie

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know?
Your money end your wealth
Your silence just to hear your self

Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence lengthen freedom's ring

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

1. Moonshield

Tried 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

2. The Jester's Dance

3. Artifacts Of The Black Rain

Stood there leaning to the city moon,
casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms
the black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque
in the serpentine sun of tragedy basked

Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass
with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that
passed
splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl
alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world

He cried for night / but night could not come
so, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away
and fed the empty galleries
with the artifacts of the black rain
sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile

He made the footprints a part of his heart
to rouse a sacred confrontation

Stood there carving on the monument to lies
digging of the Earth, making friends with the soil
as the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs
he disappears into her cold, icy womb

4. Graveland

Mankind – proud conqueror and king
swings its flag of primal glory to the winds
Titans of the power-myth that failed
Neanderthal hunger for the flesh of war so frail

So weak, so hollow-minded
the primat flock responds
the jester race submits

For each day of war is a failure for man,
enslaved in her mordial genes
Illusions bleed from their fetid cores,
bent to their rotten extremes

We, the plague of Terra Firma,
nature's grand and last mistake
plant the poisoned seed of cancer,
set the severed fruits awake
Burning like frozen relics
in god's archaic graveland

Burn the visionaire
Kill the ideaologies
Mankind must die

The doves and the angels return to their graves
with flames on their pestilent wings
while mushroom-clouds haunt their virginwhite skies
to rape their utopian dreams

Living the last days of evolution's end
from the nest of humanity, the graveland vultures rend

5. Lord Hypnos

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

6. Dead Eternity

I bid you welcome to my world
They call me existence
You have just entered through the gate
to your journey towards eternity
This part I control
In the beginning you'll fear nothing
As I climb beside you
Time will be your master in this laborious part of
human subsistence
This part I control
Black clouds embraces your soul
Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish
When time takes your life
I wil transfer you into the bare grip of thinking
tranquillity
Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating
Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness
Nothing can help you now

You'll never be along again
You'll never die again
You'll never be born again
You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity

7. 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 tormorrow's rigid futile scripts
of our dying jester race

8. December Flower

Towards the rich archaic heavens; towards the lack
diorama
you are the artist and the texture
that plays with the mantle of the Earth

When the bleakest of powders
lie rooted to the starched stones
and roots that feed the peaking trees
embrace the sleeping shores

Archaic pearls of sleep and death
the voice of December losing its breath
and the floweryard of whit and grey is haunted

White as the down of flaking snow,
the heroic emblems of life

Green is the color of my death
as the winter-guise I swoop towards teh ground
Green is the landscape of my sorrowfilled passing

We are In Flames,
towards the dead archaic heavens
We are the mantle and the texture
the alters the mantle of the Earth

10. Dead God In Me

To slit the grinning wounds
from childhood's seven moons
the palette stained with the ejaculated passions
(of forbidden, hedonistic colors...)

Strike from omnipotence; all-seer, all-deemer
and haunt my severed country with your
dripping, secret games

You pick the unripe lilies
deflored and peeled the bleeding petals
made known to me
the grainy stains, the crimson lotus
of the Black-Ash Inheritance,
the semen feed of gods and masters
The worms still in me,
still a part of me,
racing out from leaking rooms,
swoop from broken lungs to block the transmission
to put an end to the nomad years

father you
are the
dead god
in me

1. Goliaths Disarm Their Davids

Bible Arm on social hell spins its downward spiral
with each year of unprogression a fine of failure is added
closer than ever to the edge, a faith in resident martyrs
strong object track my body, my body down.
eyes, disappearing rebirth of light
between a labyrinth of errors and the key to the suicide era
digging through the graves of giants, words fly to me
a lonely load, like a promise failing miserably
running through like an alphabet of hate
to shake the entire organism, closer than ever, ever to the edge
eyes, disappearing rebirth of light between a labyrinth of errors
and the key to the suicide era
i kill for the code, to disarm this mess
of psychotic chaos that once i mixed up myself

2. Gyroscope

Geology is digging through my brain
a manta engulfing the world
to throw it up once again
to a guild of lifted daggers
Neo-wolf, but older again
than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures

A diabolical sequence of stabs
written in cunning stones
from the fossilised den of thieves
our lives die

Neo-wolf, but older again
than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures

I see the nursing all-mother
spitting out a trail of termites
in the mouth of her first-born hope
breasts ripe with smog-filled rebellion
Apathy dressed in violence
white insectoid legs
curse her lips and the mouth
receptive only to pain

Neo-wolf, but older again than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures

4. Behind Space

(Live)

Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through wordless tounge
Heavenly thirst – unspeakable pain
Emptied from all human motion
Confront the faceless wrath
Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space
Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams
Sights of towers reaching for the moon
Clawing at the skies – they gonna pull it down

Intensity – I feel the lava rushing through my veins
Stars are reforming – to enter the fourth dimension

Beyond all galaxies
Through timeless eons of frost
Unearthly hunger – angels descent

We are entering dimensions behind space...

Beyond all galaxies
Through timeless eaons of frost

1. Jotun

I often dream of huge numb building
jet-black sinister archtecture
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 its weight, its silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life
and the privilege of a 22-kilometre tombstone

Jotun

A body of black
that carried no reflection
defying its 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 its 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

2. Food For The Gods

Shame marries the guilt
introduces itself to the
concept of total loneliness
Sensations repressed
make friends with
Suicidia, and
here the leeches begin to
suck away the lust for life

Thus,

Escape takes lead
into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
where borders are erased and potential infinite
Chosen cells, glands and transmittors
blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
up to dimensions covered with gold,
stairs of glowing ectoplasma,
safir, onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead men's banquet
food for the gods

There's only 1 real world
our earth is but a shadow
Created from a child's heart a living jewel
from now on abode for a soul in its setting

Now

cutting the bloodline
re-tie the bleeding roots
to a heavenly ship of glass
and let it drift in passive arrogance
in a one-word dialogue with the stars

3. Gyroscope

Geology is digging through
my brain
a manta engulfing the world
to throw it up once again
to a guild of lifted daggers

Neo-wolf, but older again
than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures

A diabolical sequences of stabs
written in cunning stone
from the fossilised den of thieves
our lives die

I see the nursing all-mother
spitting out a tral of termites
in the mouth of her first-born hope
breasts ripe with smog-filled rebellion

Apathy dressed in violence
white insectoid legs
curse her lips and mouth
receptive only to pain

4. Dialogue With The Stars

(инструментал)

5. The Hive

April night-tyme
And we run like muscles through the stagnant nodes of
man
Blood-bridges lean towards the gaping synapses
to disarm the stars within us

Hornet, Hive-dark
Severed wings in vainless beating
buzz out from an inferno of fangs
to disarm 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 sheets of sharp silver
to disarm the stars within us

6. Jester Script Transfigured

Cre-age-aeon
new beginnings held in infinite vacuum
Biotronic test-worlds free of inscription
devoid of the echoes of man
noble cyborg savage

In 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 beginning
and this core, the slowly moving raptor
will make the very notion of Hell
seem celestial in comparison

7. 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 the Ibis
to the co-ordinates of Matterhorn

My shot is genesis and catharsis
Penetratonant in a cosmology of lusts

Suck this subterranean creature out
and show it proudly to the house of heaven
With one slight wave of my hand
stars dissolve

Dissolve my brain
Block my lungs
I'll die from fever tomorrow
when locked in such a perfected 'now'

8. Worlds Within The Margin

Raindrop hits the leaf, changing its position slightly
on the street,
next to polls of monotonous water. He walks. Slipping
feet from
steps at random. He falls.

In the space between his body and the ground
comets cast off their names, stellar neurones misfire.

Witnesses x13
inhale the seed
and spit out a million branches

Buds abloom in all directions,
from which events occur
relations and virused meetings
catch fire and explode
In the margin of butterfly wings
entire cycles of evolution
outplayed and faded,
sparked and leaned back into
vacuum-filled nirvana.

Between the two of my eyes
feverish fractals scar,
dance like were they on drugs
peyote labyrinths, re-mapped exits
A hasty blink
and a million life-to-comes
will never be the same
as they never were.

In the kinetic energy of a moving fist
lies a birth-machine for a parallel universe

With the first movement in the organinc soap
came a bouquet of alternative answers
all different, multiplied and re-divided

Coded in the spinal cord of a trilobite,
written between the legs on the Meganeura
suburban city maps and dormant dictator semen
marked their way through time.

9. Episode 666

Welcome here, the squirrel-wheel begins
fasten the left hand belts
Remember not to think too much
and your trip will be numbingly pleasant

Non-caring is the easiest way
but to secure a passage to the 2nd plane
you have to complete level one
Their dead-smile lips turn on their TV
while urban gravestones scrape the skies
Rising over marionette cities and marionette skies

This is episode 666
destination chaos
Each and all an actor blind

10. Everything Counts

оригинал: Depeche Mode

The handshake
Seals a contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea being insincere

The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract
Still intact

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture
it now
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power

Confidence taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

1. Embody The Invisible

I demand nothing, but I want it all
what privilege do we have under the sun,
that gives us the right to the throne ?

species come and go, bu the earth stands forever fast
all river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full

to discover the lonliness and be to proud to show the wounds
will forever wander alone through the years

but I won't let you near
begging for you to understand
the fear that lives in my soul
which is an untouch spring

read, what is writtenon the silent mouth
what is written in the soul
for which is written in the shining silence
we all have to read

my body will be bent from the burdens
when the shaking floor of life-force
reveal it's chasm underneath
if only one could be two steps ahead

2. Ordinary Story

egoism dictates human relation a world where fashion outshines morality
Here success is written in blood-red colours
designed by the thirst for power gather the faithful and propose a toast
to the epoch of indifferance

an all to ordinary story
with aftertaste so bitter
forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself, sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web

a timerepresented by the void
an excuse without content
stuck in the abyss of existance
with a content void of excuse

an all to ordinary story
this is my story
with an aftertaste so bitter

sinking deeper down
I'm caught – I'm cage
I'm gone

3. Scorn

I parish and nobody will know
as my mouth remains still
my heart awaits me, filled with gravel
as the pain grows with each touch

since I marked her out from my tower
reality focused through forbidden lenses
she owns enough of preciousness
a penalty given by the source

but I still have no choise through
the hinderens freighten
a labarynth closing at the edge of space

but they never allow
she's shut....for all beings but one
I give, I scorn, I treath

4. Colony

in my world, the day is no threat
in my world, there is an absence of light
"genetic superiour cell" controled
by fathomless and undearable

a radical new form of plastic and rage
biologically optomized
but with a strangling pulse

iin your world, you find me worthy
in my world, I "parashoot" my life
a virtual drogstore populated
by the fathomless and unbearable machine, meat and blood
in an intimate relationship
the new – superior –
more effective than all the preceeding

where we can no longer
cry and reality is torn
then it's easy to forget
that the responsibillity lies on us all

in your world, the night is no threat
in my world, the darkness
transforms to a vision of hell
populated by fathomless and unbearable

5. Zombie Inc.

thruth serves them embrace
and defend her case
part flattery, part threats
"for those who cling to this dominion will partake in it's fall"

with his silence, he passes the
judgement over them
"with your feverish signs of force you'll make them and yourself to
believe that he still retains his full power"

as a platform for divine fondations,
you want to make them suck

shallowness and beauty
was all that concerned her body
but the soul, her divine guest
were thrust to the bottom

surrendered to the sect
that has risen from it's womb
"for those who cling to this
dominion will partake in it's fall"

7. Coerced Coexistence

I'll take you on a ride
as a part-owner to my pain
our ideals they collide
coerced coexistence

I faught the world today – postpone my birth again
we stumble on and one – but bound to die alone

pine– I'm selling my soul today
pine– I need some sympathy

this infiltrates my brain
"in the sunshine the sun is mine"
pitiless wanderer
close your eyes and bow your head
grotesque thoughts in a line threw my wings into the lazing sun
smile stretced on old trees
eternal grining jester masque

don't hurt a fly they all sing we're just ants in a great big play
commercialize-infect-annihilate-progress
visualize-inhale-pretend-betray

8. Resin

a sad song it was,
through renewal it brought
and a month seems sometimes shorter
than a half nights longing hidden
and hard are the reasons for war
polar twist, invert and flea

I can't disolve this feeling of mine
but patience will unlock the door
and the maps of reasons re-written for me
when the wait is over and the punishment is due
each day I crawl to the hall of the giants

and beg for mercy –
and I beg for mercy in vein
one night is a mare – two is worse
How can I manage three?

9. Behind Space '99

call me by my astral name
breeding fear through worldless toungh
heavenly thirst – unspeakable pain
emptied from all human motions
confront the faceless wrath

beckoning silent from a sphere behind space
trough twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams
signs of towers reaching for the moon
they're clawing at the skies they gonna pull it down

intensity I feel the lava rushing through my veins
stars are reforming to enter the fourth dimension

behind al galaxies through timeless aenos of frost
unearthly hunger– angels decent

10. 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 pittiless 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 know the proper reasons
why it all begins and ends?
ignorant and pittiless they stride

"you are but a form",
the clean, harsh silence passes
"genuine" visions by the noble
ones for the noble ones

11. The New World

the great world of blessendness
and a feeling of ease
a cup of the well of freedom
and a 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 world,
but the world is still
without body

a hidden life-stream that
swells in the deep
will soon give the world
a second face

12. Clad In Shadows '99

(Bonus Track)

Reach for your razor
Cut through the dawn
See through your inner wrath
Keys shan't open the doors

Behold my heart has stopped
My lungs are laid the final rest
And still I see and do I feel
Yes, but to earthly eyes I am gone
To the land where legends never die
Take me to the twilight land tonight

Again and again and again in every night
The darkness climbs through my walls
Ever screaming silent to the corrupted ears

Never to any man I will spear
My speach it has no value
Eyes that have seen the sights
Bleed through the ages eternal

I ask no more
A life has just begun
Never will I see the sun
And do I miss it
No, my eyes are black
Emotions fled through eyelids closed
Throne of thorns
Clad in shadows

13. Man Made God

(Bonus Track)
(Instrumental)

1. Bullet Ride

Do you feel anything at all?
Do you hear steps at the door?
Do you reckon the smell of....?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

Frigthened by your own smell
Bitternes will run you through

Silent screaming
Turning, twisting the alphabet
Frantic eyes
Awaiting the answer
Splinters of a poem
Fragments of what you used to be
Habitual and gullible
Run-down memoirs is all that's left

Do you wish to sleep?
Do you aim for the shadow?
Do you feel infected?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

It's the cowardice that puls you under
And takes you to the end, where it begins
Release, the world is waiting on your arrival
Close your eyes, as we witness another bullet ride

Do you know about atrocity?
Do you that everbody's gone?
Do you know that you're on your own?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

2. Pinball Map

As I aim for that bright white day
Conflict serum is my aura
It seems that life's so fragile
I guess I'll fly some other time

I lack from superhighway thoughts
Won't live as long as the city lights
Soaked by underwater times
Electric splash on a midnight drive
Wish I could rape the day,
just something radical
Lost the sense of sweet things
Who's gonna take me widely?

Guided by the pinball map
The driver, still unknown
Who was sent to glorify?
Before we injected this common pride

Sometimes I don't belong
Release me from your world
Pacified by the small things in life
I wait for earthquakes to rearrange

Never been able to use the force
I only have it read to me
Despite all the misguided faith
(Maybe) I'll find a place in this mess

Early morning moments
A glimpse of joy
But soon it's over and I return to dust
As I try to be
Everything and everyone
I waste away

3. Only For The Weak

I can't tolerate your sadness
cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any hapiness
cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guilty

"I blame the needs that you feed
cause selfish eyes would not see"

Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beutiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
No need for sympathy, it's only for the weak)
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

I've lost the ability to paint the clouds
cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
cause everytime you run, I fall behind

"Far away is a place where I hide
the truth that have to be locked away"

And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man, here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the lie

4. ...As The Future Repeats Today

There's no place that still remains
Just deserted space all left in grey
Why did we lose, the knowledge of time?
Is this the price, the hell we pay?
The poisoned fear known to man
is he who try to find his path
The collective force blaming you
"This is day day we split in half"

Thrown to the gallow, forgotten and sore
sworn to be different in what way I can
The sultry taste that is special to me
is the last gleeful glimpse of a bitter man

Down and troubled, in search for better days
Back to the beginning, I'm at the end
All my time, compressed to itching moments
as the future repeats today

So impressed, lost the faith in all I had
Broken down, I'm on my way to be dissolved

The hopes and prays of things to come
I've lost them all with glory
Urgent to aim for that short-lived joy
I see gold in all that lies before me

And so we ignore the beggers cup
Praise your act in the Grand Finale
Teach the unborn the winners sign
a welcome grin to the world Royal

5. Square Nothing

For all the times you left me bleeding
Clouded, weakend by the haze
Cut of my pride, enough to forgive
Reconcile, back to square nothing

It seems I lost my direction
Don't have the strenght to let it slip
Have no desire for the shore
Just let me play here for some time

Is this how I want to spend my days?
Shadowed, it fears me, my utopia
Try to find some peace to destroy
These are my sins, I'm heading to fall
Never understood though I accepted
All the weakness that I discover
You gave me a place to hide and lost the key
Drowend my head just to see it sink (to the bottom)

Spent some quality time with the demon of mine
He said "I like the way you struggle but you know I'm gonna win"
Spent some quality time with my borrowed smile
The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me

6. Clayman

Your self control makes me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection, a mess without words
(And) As the seasons change I'll continue to ignore
The image I project – me without me
The picture that I scanned is borrowed

After the education you stopped making sense to me
Seems to me that it's all the same, time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural art
Spending to much time with myself
Trying to explanin who I am

How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
(Suddenly) I feel so invinsible
I'm the sculpture made out of clay

I need someone to break the silence
before it all falls apart
I need something to cling onto
before I break you in parts

So afraid of what you may think
And all the plastic people that surrounds me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatural art

7. Satellites And Astronauts

Since the day of my departure
I've been stumbling through reality
I play my symphony in reverse
In search for that special path

Be gentle to the tear in this I
Lonesome arms, lost its wings again

Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
I can see the end from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead

Make me feel like a man
A silent cry from the middle of hell
I – the irony – I promise, I'll be mature
So please, invite me to your shelter again

Been hiding since I heared "never"
Take me back to yesterday, I need to grow

Steal my mask and make me pay
I need a new skin
I'm going insane

8. Brush The Dust Away

In the most desolate corner
A bad case of the urban blues
Another brick in the living shadow
All inhale the downward spiral

Hey, get in line for tragic
Let us dance to the pistol magic
Just aim and end another
But think, as I rape your mother

Another player joins the table
Who I can or cannot trust
When do we get assigned?
Pure and precious with bad intensions

Hey, come and join the show
All the cameras are ready to go
Just aim and end another
But think, as I rape your mother

A single step – a garbled life
Where's the profit?
Your rage – the pain
Will it all be worth it?

Genetic, it seems to be.... Abandon, the mass ideal
We think we're in control then we become the things we hate
Lets re-unite and brush the dust away Obtain a prosperous future
and the admiration of all
Act in "the sensations" media hour
All inhale the downward spiral

9. Swim

As we build a brand new planet
Lets reconstruct and get it straight

Unlock forgotten skills
Travel to a new dimension
Souls from the dark seduction
(Take heed), we are the new invention

We're the settlers of year zero
Lets reconstruct and take it back

Leaders of our time
Heading for a downfall
The threshhold of revolution
(Take heed)The last freedom call

Blanked out fire etched on the chrystal display
The sees are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb
Collect the word, add some gold and give it back
The sees are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb

From a thousand branches Spreading the new voice

As we're heading for the throne
Connect, evolution will begin

10. Suburban Me

The self-inflicted state of mind
A one-man struggle beneath the tower
I think the clock still exist
god just forgot to tap my shoulder

I woke up today
I wish I felt something
The odour of my apathy
just might be true

I wan't to be the things I see
The pilgrim that is me
But I know I ain't that free
The suburban me

Spirits rise and miss the eye
Covered by the stench of judgment
As gods reflection test my pride
I serve the failure that's haunting me

Twisted visions toturing
Who claims to be the one?
That filtered smile
just might be true

"On half-speed, tonight I suffer
Satisfaction brings the unheeded"

Can you hear the message,
as I wrestle with the clouds?
I'm on the way to succumb,
It just might be true

11. Another Day In Quicksand

The other side of the platinum door
another day in quicksand
Still feel close to nowhere
I hope this is the right way

How come you see me as an enemy?
We just think in different words

I see beuty in dead flowers
I let the tide show me what's next
But all you do is fade away

There's no shame in being the fool
I've been to places you'll never find
The empty plate that you call home
Won't bring glimmer to future years

By myself, staring into space
You're just bored of the silence it makes

12. World Of Promises

оригинал: Treat

They come from a land were the sun don't shine
running away from the cold
They travel so far in the name of love
hoping the dreams will come true

Walking the way through endless fields
trying to make it together
??????????????????
????????????????????
And they will give anything
just to be free from the pain
and they won't surrender

Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises

Lost in the city wondering why
no one will open the door
It's more to the truth than meets the eye
something they all felt before
And they will give anything
just to stand tall once again
and they won't surrender

Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises

In the tan of the nigh can hear them crying
out for a life to hol on to
Somebody knows were the answers lying
wait for your trails and don't let go

Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises

13. World Of Promises

оригинал: No Fun At All

One lie was all it took everything ended right there
You didn't seem to care One lie
I walked away weight on my shoulders was heavy
Barrel to my head

Will you give me a good excuse
Will you let me die right here and now ?
I can't think of another way
But I'm open to any good advice
Everything is falling apart
Trying hard to be strong and smart

One day was all it took
Start to get back on my feet heart begin to beat
One week I'm feeling great dancing around in the street
Feeling young and free

Will you give me a good excuse
Will you let me die right here and now ?
I can't think of another way
But I'm open to any good advice
Everything is falling apart
Trying hard to be strong and smart

1. Reroute To Remain

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 we need this evolution
Design new latitudes find ways to channel bliss
Us defined is too fragile to neglect
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

2. System

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 si 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 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 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 tent 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

3. Drifter

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 is just feels bad to say
That there'll be another day
what you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear
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
Building a room with no doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the lasr few
Drops falling into infinity

4. Trigger

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'm running from something
I don't know
I'm searching for something
Which way to go?
I'm 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 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
'Cause 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

5. Cloud Connected

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
I've come to realize
With every little glimps
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 remember my name
Time runs backwards as long as you
Are heading that way

6. Transparent

Consume all the obscene persuade
The most hideous and ugly
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 open all
Your senses to new impressions
Act like that was has vanished 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
At one with the wind
(Ever changing)
Even if it's a struggle
Make this your priority do not stagnate

7. Dawn Of A New Day

The thoughts from yeasterday
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

8. Egonomic

A mass illusion blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline
A stranger 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're getting weaker you won't go far
With the life that you're living slow
And calculated afraid of the sleeping well
Never ever reach the goal

9. Minus

Drug me infiltrate my neverland
Like the floodtide
Drowning the shore
Drug me you're all over me
You 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

10. Dismiss The Cynics

We will 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 a limit to how
Many times we'll dust ourselves off?
What does it take for sanity to remain?
Dismiss the cynic...
Maybe...
The mystery of times
Listen to me carefully
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?

11. Free Fall

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 haven?
For what?
I am punished could we ever repent?
Unravel the threads don't keep it from me
This is a free fall
Mother nature
I'm wide open waiting for you
To move me to feed from your horizons
I never seem the 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 I stop and feel you're
There to tell me
I'm already late

12. Dark Signs

Held down
Strangled and abused cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied everything
Points is the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control what's left
The faintest laughter we're out of focus
We've lost control
Are you afraid?
I blame our ego and you call me names
Do you (really) want to be saved?
You're told that you're trapped below and dark signs
Help to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye
Scorching fire the whole
Meaning becomes undone

13. Metaphor

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
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me how I got this far?
You bend me and you shake me you beg me
Theт you break me let me in
I'll buty the pain
You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear
You'll die alone
Let me in
I'll bury the pain
It's taking over and everything
Falls dark break me open
The desperate cry

14. Black And White

I am on 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 is 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

1. F®iend

As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today

It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past

There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade

Filth runs in every new day

I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
I ran as I saw the end
Should I've joined the fight instead?
Hope you're listening
'cause now times have changed

I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage

2. The Quiet Place

Spinning further, deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt
Make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world

...and then I close my eyes

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show
Bow down
I'm in a much better place now
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind

Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars
The quiet place
All the bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed

3. Dead Alone

I'll always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results
I'll never enter your heaven
Make the most out of my dirty cell
Creeps infected by control
That's what put me in here
Dig deep don't think you ever get
To the place where they buried me
The last glimpse that I have
Fragments, pieces of some things valuable even though it doesn't make sense anymore
I release my last tear

My frustration
My conversation
Why are we even here? the abuse
That we use
I do not longer care

The cold worms and me
We are all right
We are free
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
New world I hide

When there are only my bones
Please put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn
The day darkness disappears
Don't release these chains
Never been closer to myself
All your mistakes run through
As I realize what we become
The end is here to bid farewell
I'll turn to ash and hear them sing
Songs about my emotions dead and alone
Don't make an effort
You don't know me anyway

4. Touch Of Red

Reaching depths of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this
I should be on the top of the world
Is anybode out there like me?

I followed – something's missing
Self control – forcing me down
Whispers consume the air
Above her I'm endless

When the rain comes falling
I'll freeze, I'm so afraid
When things start to flood me
I'll drown in seconds

Fear – there's a way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's a way out

As if I ever had a choice
All in the hands of the energy
Once again I feel the quicksand
Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle

The weak in me should know
I'm as sober as I could be

5. Like You Better Dead

I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn (need to be motivated)
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
I'm better off alone

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with 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

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

6. My Sweet Shadow

I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity
To fill the wholes inside

An ever moving stream
With glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to past lies
And I know I should let go

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out
Tamed with confidence of a brighter future

Fueled these new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you I look no more

Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded?
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger

In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain ecoes fade

7. Evil In A Closet

We were one in words
You finished my sentences
The answer to my puzzle
I can never attract tomorrow
It pushes me aside
I sink in waters deep
Your presence kept me floating
Far from depths where secrets lie
Maybe in another lifetime
I could be the first you meet

I once read a poem
Held my breath
But that moment's gone
First time I felt life somewhat hurts
Need an option and some hope

Yell at me, i want to be your light that shines
But my ground's shaking and I might fall
I wish that I could say... I wish I could be your evil in a closet

8. 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'll be

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'm ready to give you
The m, it might even be the e
As I begin to search for I

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

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

9. Borders And Shading

Take a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain

Oblivion can no longer shade you
Tattered tissue as a reminder

Bleak silence
Errors stigmatized in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Your world inside slowly redesigned

I deny any reminisce of us
I'm on a new mission
I find myself in the future
A trace of the past cannot be found

10. Superhero Of The Computer Rage

I am the past
Future
I've been chosen
You think it's over
But I'm ready to go
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time

I am a surprise
Even to myself I'm a genious
Superhero of the computer rage
In plastic I'll bury
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but the re's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure you die in time

I am the maggot
In your infected life
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave without a scar
I am a legend
In your infotainment life
It's when I say "it's over"
It's you who's been chosen

11. Dial 595-Escape

Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The otherside I crawl
You push me out, I fall

Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favourite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend – I hide

Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space does exist beyond
In silence I dwell
Displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfilment

"Try to remove obstacles as they appear" my master said
"Don't look too far, you'll stumble before you're even there"

12. Bottled

I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I'm there

Like the time around me
This room is filled with nothing
Fell awkward in a place with many
Leave this space to me

I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again

Still and breathless
I don't care what's behind
To you I look for energy
To catch my breath again

The world looks old to me
Tonight I drink myself sober
Soon this could be over
Tale a picture of the pale

New morning knocking
Feels just like always
Pen down my regrets
I reach to you again

13. Discover Me Like Emptiness

(Bonus Track)

I run this world alone
a song stuck in my mind
are you feeling alright?
I don't mind if you ask me once

discover me like emptiness
a defense for a broken heart
though offers a smile to the betrayed

always close to the ground
disappear with yesterday
cure the dream that makes far

Blame me...
Escape me...
Once you have walked away
Find me...
For my sake... to the grave
I want you...

could never stand the middle
I want to go far further
but something drags me down
shapes me, forms me
into the ocean

as I bank other options
make this picture distant
sign it off, leave me alone
I blur you into the never

1. 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 meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide I'm lonely,
the echo calls my name

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

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

The water drops
Just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back,
Do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty stream
Burn my efforts in the end it means NOTHING

2. Leeches

Leeches
Like leeches
"Ignorance we trust"
If you say this way, I'll take that way
Fuel for the fire on wich 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 belive your turn
The chance of a lifetime,
How does it fell to be alive?

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

3. Reflect The Storm

Shot for shot
Let the bullet penetrate me
Embrace me
Tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice
Pierce the walls that I've build
Your eyes reach deep in ME

Take a chance
They don't come much bigger than this
Dark Star spend another day with me
A dead surface that doesn't reflect
The storm underneath
Take a chance
Bring me the calm

... And it leaves NOTHING

Expose the dark side,
Aching and emotional,
Expose the dark side,
Impossible to tame

Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me

Throw yourself into the eye of chaos
Infiltrate me
Sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try to find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine.

4. Dead End

Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame

I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time

So say goodbye to the world
We're the dead that walk the earth

Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster!

What decides when you've lost a war
When the first man falls
Or when they've erased it all

We're numb to feel
The downfall starts here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear

In times of make belive,
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
Cause I'll die too

So say goodbye to the world
We're the dead that walk the earth

Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster!

What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke,
Winter will come TWICE

Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame

Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster!

5. Scream

We are ordinary people,
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in differnt lies
We just live in differnt lies!

They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens

Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?

They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens

Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?

We are ordinary people,
In a world build on stress
When we build walls around us
We end up in a mess

6. Come Clarity

Rushing through 30
Getting older every day
By two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Could you add colour inside these lines?

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day

Sure it would change my perspective
I'm certain I would change today
I'm certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day

7. Vacuum

The yesterday we loved.
Speak of tomorrow.
The burden of man is that time never takes a pause
We live from monday to sunday
But we forget what it means
Then a ghost comes to visit
And we tell stories from tabloids.
Call all your friends,
Watch fake photographs
From a made up vacation.
Speaking in tongues about ancient artifacts.

We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie rape steal and murder
To make tonights headlines

Trust the system.
Make your contribution.
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get, the stronger they become.

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.

Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail.

Gather in front of the TV.
Exploding sympathy.
The weatherman our trust,
Our punctual company

We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie rape steal and murder
To make tonights headlines

Trust the system.
Make your contribution.
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get, the stronger they become.

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.

8. Pacing Death's Trail

Compassion.
Confession.
It's all a compromise.

Dedication.
Domination.
Please define the lines.

Irritation.
Innovation.
Pair up to succeed.

Totaliation.
Termination.
Fake smiles and greed.

Surrender to nothing.
Or run, as far as you can
I'm trying to hold on to what I belive in,
But my heart is in a coma!

Aggression.
Attention.
A need to be seen.

Directed.
Disrespected.
Stand in a line to be thankful
OBSCENE

Surrender to nothing.
Or run, as far as you can
I'm trying to hold on to what I belive in,
But my heart is in a coma!

9. Crawl Through Knives

The black hole forever mine.
I need fear.
Push me out
Ohh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have?

If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.

These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.

Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation

It's in my hands.
The sky is so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.

Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Though the new

If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.

These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.

10. Versus Terminus

When all is said and done
We'll know what's right, what's wrong
But does it matter then
When all is said an done

When all is dead and gone
We'll know who lost, who won
But does it matter then
When all is dead and gone

See everything go
End of all things
The life that we know
Shift your point of view
You've been warned
This one way ticket is for you

When all the lights go out
We know what life's about
But does it matter then
When all the lights go out

When all the laughter dies
We'll see nothingness and realize
But does it matter then
When all the laughter DIES

11. Our Infinite Struggle

In a disaster story
A central confilct of primal rage
Usual sort of desperation
Characters remain the same

NEVER CUT YOU OUT,
I CUT YOU IN

Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too

Walk on broken glass
Is the pain safe at the end?
All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite

NEVER CUT YOU OUT,
I CUT YOU IN

Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too

All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite

NEVER CUT YOU OUT,
I CUT YOU IN

Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too

12. Vanishing Light

Vanishing light
The end of a compromise
In fury, in rage
A dream will demenish

Behind enemy lines
Learn to survive
Find a way to clone
Make friends and place a to call home

Take a picture and jump before we crash

Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?

You're on the easy route
Money up front?
There's no doubt

Take a picture and jump before we crash

Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?

It's so sad
But pay no mind!

Take a picture and jump before we crash

Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?

13. Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone

(outro)

Lunar Strain - Лунный Мотив

1. Behind Space
"Выше Космоса"

Назови меня моим звездным именем,
Преумножающийся страх, бессловесным языком,
Божественная жажда – невыразимая боль,
Опустошенная из всечеловеческой суеты,
Столкнись с безликим гневом.

Манящий покой от сферы, что выше космоса,
Чрез изуродованные обломки не свершившихся грез –
Виды башен, стремящихся к луне,
Скребущих небеса, – они обвалят их наземь.

Мощь – я чувствую лаву, бегущую по моим венам,
Звезды перестраиваются, чтобы войти в четвертое измерение.

За пределами галактик
И сквозь морозные безвременные вечности
Неземной голод – и ангелы падут с небес

Мы вступаем в измерения выше космоса

За пределами галактик
И сквозь морозные безвременные вечности

Ибо есть предназначение и причина
За пределами людских предрассудков,
Вопящая тишина во тьме космоса.
Ибо есть знание непостижимее
Жизни на этой планете,
Но родственное самим звездам.

2. Lunar Strain
"Лунный Мотив"

Ибо есть предназначение и причина
За пределами людских предрассудков,
Вопящая тишина во тьме космоса.
Ибо есть знание непостижимее
Жизни на этой планете,
Но родственное самим звездам.

Лунный мотив

По всему Млечному пути
Жизнь терпит крах,
Жизнь, однажды хранимая подобно сокровищу.

Что некогда пустотою было,
Обрело форму.
Однажды я был частью пустоты,
Но теперь, говорят они, я умру.

По всей галактике
Жизнь терпит крах.

Лунный мотив

Из небытия в реальность
Так, как нам видится это.
Из небытия в жизнь...
Мои унылые слезы страдания
Сливаются воедино с песнями о моих небесах.
Одиночество – есть боль.

Пустота – сила, и одиночество – боль.
Спокойствие же – могущество.
И нам будут оказаны почести
В беззвездную ночь.

Звездный мотив
Разносится повсюду рядом с моей молчаливой луной,
И жизнь терпит крах...

Звездный мотив

Ибо есть предназначение и причина
За пределами людских предрассудков,
Вопящая тишина во тьме космоса.

3. Starforsaken
"Покинутый Звездами"

Ослепленные песком,
Злодеи затмевают свет дневной.
Солнце сожгло мою кожу,
Но открытые раны облизаны песком.

Быть наказанным этим вихрем презрения

Запястья и лодыжки прикованы к этой земле,
Протащены через пустыню, чтобы стать их жертвой.

И это моя голгофа, это моя могила.
Воры, лжецы, лицемерная мразь.
Я убил бы их, если б мог.

Бесконечные пески, чернейшая земля...
Вихрь дробящего кости гнева,
Для меня одного...

Владыки пустыни –
Пусть ни один не должен был воплотиться.
Человечество теперь бежит,
И законы анатомии утеряны.
Запредельная ярость.

5. Everlost (Part 1)
"Потерявшийся Навеки (Часть I)"

Огни меркнут
В моих печальных окнах,
Сквозь которые не пройти чувствам.
И жажда испытать их скребет мою душу.

Ответь мне,
Неужели эти стены – мое единственное укрытие
От истекающего кровью мира вокруг меня?
Забери меня отсюда...

"Я уношу тебя от этой агонии.
Буря очистит тебя".

Лишь я в праве быть
Ураганом для навеки заблудших
Это проклятье для...

Все – тьма лишь.
Все кроме одного в этой жизни –
Быть заключенным
В оболочку столь обманчивую.

Вот узилища, в коих заключен я,
Войти во тьму полуночных
Звуков, безликих огней.

Ладони разрываются...
Разбей же узы всеподчинения,
Ты в одиночку можешь забрать мою душу.
Лети же!

6. Everlost (Part 2)
"Потерявшийся Навеки (Часть II)"

Сквозь семь песен ликования
Имя его возрождает солнечный голос его

Нисходя в неизвестность
Он, однако же, невредим останется.

Огни лик его освещают,
И ночь более не реальна.

Одетые в неведомые цвета, они сталкиваются с ним
И немой речью произносят его имя
Лунно-красный – тянется к жизни чрез вечность;
Звездно-черный – растущее безмолвие пугает меня.

Один древний обычай в безвременном забытьи,
В обрядах старости, ныне взлетает голубь.
Лети сквозь время!

8. In Flames
"Охваченный Пламенем"

Узри мое сердце, охваченное пламенем,
Над высочайшими из вершин
И глубже любой из бездн.
В долине ненависти блуждаю я,
И мое оледеневшее сердце начинает пламенеть, начинает пламенеть.

Загуби мою душу,
Опустоши мой разум,
Заклейменные громом, пламенем и льдом.

Растоптанный полчищами света во гневе,
Я сломлен дланью с моего неба.
Мое небо оставило меня.

И теперь кроваво-красные реки ведут меня,
Тропой из пламени.
В месте вечного огня
Оставлен пылать я.

Распыленный в мире шипов,
Вырванный из своей земной оболочки,
Оскорбленный, в слезах и горечи,
Я паду выше звезд.

Загуби мою душу,
Опустоши мой разум,
Заклейменные громом, пламенем и льдом.

Растоптанный полчищами света во гневе,
Я сломлен дланью с моего неба.
Мое небо оставило меня.

Мое сердце охвачено пламенем.

9. Upon An Oaken Throne
"Возвышаясь На Дубовом Троне"

"Я вижу, как стал расти паслен", говорил он.
И южные гончие пробуждались с рассветом.
Мы искали вожделенную воду вечности,
Но пойманы всевидящим солнцем ночи.
Толпа – я смеюсь над твоей жалкой ложью – ибо то вздор!

Ненависть в моих глазах и в моей крови,
Вопль чрез поля – река стенает.
Поверженный лорд на дубовом троне.
Печаль в моем пламени – в ее власти мое существование.
Печать рассвета сломана – неистовство.

Непокоренное пламя

Ветер промчался.
В пространстве, где смех
Более не слышен, крики более не видны,
И жизнь навсегда потеряна.
Вглядись в небеса, ибо они слепы.
Они ослеплены пасленом нашей жажды
И стерты в прах.
И волки уж здесь.

Зверье беспощадных земель.
Они пьют мою кровь,
Они пируют на моих останках,
И слезы на глазах их – ложь.

Непокоренное пламя

10. Clad In Shadows
"Окутанный Тенями"

Потянись за своим лезвием,
Прорежь отверстие в рассвете,
И взгляни сквозь внутренний гнев:
Ключи не откроют дверей.

Взгляни: мое сердце остановилось,
Мои легкие обрели вечный покой.
Но по-прежнему вижу я и ощущаю.
Истинно так, но для смертных глаз меня больше нет.
В земли, где легенды никогда не умирают,
Возьми меня в сумеречный край сей же ночью.

Снова и снова, и снова – каждую ночь,
Тьма пробирается сквозь мои стены.
Вечно кричащая тишина для прокаженных ушей.

Вовек просить ни у кого не стану,
Речь моя цены не имеет.
И глаза, что повидали немало
Кровью плачут сквозь мириады веков.

Я не прошу большего.
Жизнь лишь началась,
И никогда не увидеть мне солнца.
Но скорблю ли я о том?
Нет, ибо очи мои черны, и
Чувства бежали сквозь закрытые веки.
Трон из шипов,
Окутанный тенями.

1. Stand Ablaze
"Стоять в огне"

Пришло время...
Так скажи же мне как
Устоять в огне...

Крича,
Помня, как это обычно было
Зарубцеваться на вечность
Что это означало?
Жизнь в гармонии?

Истекая кровью, сожалея...

Отшельническая жизнь,
Совершающая самоубийство,
Ищет святилище,
Ограждённое от этого мира

Я стою в огне,
Крича,
Когда пламя ласкает моё лицо,
Я стою в огне.

2. Everdying
"Постоянно умирающий"

Умри
Трагедия, мучащая меня
Жажда крови, кричащая, никогда не умирающая
Жажда крови, кричащая, никогда не умирающая

От холода потемнела пустыня
Зло захватило мою душу и взяло меня за руку

Покинут и полон жажды
Порождения зла и вечного огня

Бесконечная, бессмертная, вечная ненависть
Бесконечная, бессмертная, вечная ненависть
Ненависть

Питьё вина –
Акт, противоречащий любви
Пожиратель жизней
Сегодня ты присоединишься к нам

Созерцайте бессмертие,
Тёмную вечность
Вечность, вечность

3. Subterranean
"Подземный"

Мои слёзы льются, словно дождь,
От постоянно длящейся боли
Когда я смотрю в твои глаза
Моё сердце словно умирает
Божественная красота,
Я надеюсь, ты будешь моей
Открой свои объятья
Навсегда

Вся в белом,
Несущая свет
Будь со мной всю ночь

Божественная красота,
Твои слёзы словно вино,
Приди ко мне
Навсегда

Я дрожу от касания твоих губ,
Моя бледная кожа краснеет, когда мы целуемся
Твои ногти глубоко вонзаются в меня,
Когда я медленно целую твою шею, цвета слоновой кости

Я начал кричать после часов сладостного греха
Мои слёзы обратились в розы, когда они обволокли твою кожу
Я их собрал в букет самых красивых цветов,
Букет самых таинственных и древних сил

Моё янтарное сердце начало пылать, когда я умирал по-настоящему медленно...

5. Biosphere
"Биосфера"

Зимний ветер медленно терзает мою кожу
Кровь замирает в моих венах
Я желаю, чтобы ты была рядом,
Избавь меня от боли.
Прошлой ночью ты обещала,
Что всё ещё любишь меня
Прошу, освободи меня
От моей печали

Я тебя люблю,
Правда сказана
Я весь оцепенел,
Я не знаю как,
Я даже представить себе это не могу

Прошу, поговори со мной
Каким, хочешь, чтобы я был?

Медленно моя гордость искажается,
Замирает, когда я умираю
Безразличный, я меркну
Мою жизнь не спасти
Зимний ветер медленно терзает мою кожу
Кровь замирает в моих венах
Я желаю, чтобы ты была рядом,
Избавь меня от боли.

Прошу, постарайся вспомнить обо мне
Господин, прошу, пошли мне помощи
Я пытаюсь, разве ты не видишь?
Зачем это должно быть?

1. Moonshield
"Лунный Щит"

Я устал от унылых эпох, брожу по той же земле,
По-прежнему собирая горести.
Пустые надежды в пустом разуме
Принесли мой крест к холму.

О как я жажду танца и пламени,
И испить до дна сладостный закат.
Рассей меня ветер со своим пламенем,
Дабы похитить все краски – я лунный щит

Разбитая надежда стала моим ориентиром,
А тоска и боль – моими друзьями.
Братский союз, скрепленный кровавыми чернилами,
Возглашает мой безмолвный конец.

Нагие, на пороге смерти, во власти миров немого камня
Тянутся они к лунному щиту, что некогда сиял над нами.

3. Artifacts Of The Black Rain
"Артефакты Черного Дождя"

Он стоял там, влекомый городской луной,
И возводил высокие силуэты, дабы захватить ее белые комнаты.
Объятый черным созерцатель в своей черной маске
Грелся в лучах коварного солнца чужих невзгод.

Он стоял там, проклиная толпу мертвых душ
С их сказочными иллюзиями, напрасными мечтами, что ушли,
Осколками жизней в едином вихре.
В одиночестве стоит молчаливый воин в придуманном мире

Он взывал к ночи / но ночь не могла придти.
Потому, окутанный в саван мизантропии он шел прочь.
И заполнял пустые галереи
Артефактами черного дождя.
Покорившись власти сухой сардонической улыбки, он предался теням.

Он сделал следы ног частью своего сердца,
Пробуждая древнее соперничество.

Он стоял там, высекая знаки на Памятнике лжи.
Разрывая почву, мастеря друзей из глины и земли.
И когда Великая мать восстает и обнажает свои кровавые бедра,
Он исчезает в ее хладном, льдистом лоне.

4. Graveland
"Могильный Мир"

Род людской – надменный завоеватель и царь,
Машет флагом предвечной славы ветрам.
Титаны мифа о могуществе, что неудачу потерпели.
Необузданная жажда хрупкой плоти войны.

Такие слабые, такие бестолковые.
Толпа повелителей подчиняется,
Путь шута покоряет.

Ибо каждый день войны – неудача для людей,
Порабощенных ее язвительными генами.
И иллюзии сочатся из их зловонных тел
Порочные крайности воли их тому виной.

Мы, чума Земли Покоренной,
Наибольшая и последняя ошибка природы,
Сеем отравленное зерно рака,
Пробуждаем страшные плоды.
Пылаем подобно замерзшим пережиткам
В древнем могильном мире господа Бога.

Предай огню провидцев,
Сотри идеологии,
Человечество должно умереть.

Голуби и ангелы возвращаются в свои могилы,
Неся пламя на своих зараженных крыльях,
Покуда ядерные грибы тянуться к девственно-белым небесам,
Дабы похитить их утопичные мечты.

Проживая последние дни итога эволюции
Из юдоли человечества, стервятники могильного мира терзают наш слух.

5. Lord Hypnos
"Лорд Гипнос"

Я в твоих успокаивающих руках, владыка Гипнос
Я оживаю, когда слышна твоя песнь.
Я в твоих успокаивающих руках, владыка Гипнос

Увлекаемый спиралью, стремлюсь в твою отдаленную обитель.
Одолеваемого дремотой, меня носили видения.
И, подобный истории, я нисходил чрез пропасть веков
В занятые запретные области.

Как бы ни искал я
Среди миллионов миров и лиц,
Оставался в неведении я, не найдя
Своего собственного истинного лица, заблудший и умудренный

Теперь же, найди меня среди этих величественных залов,
Где испокон летá находят конец свой.
И заставь струны истинного влечения звучать в унисон
С холодной музыкой богов.

Ясные горизонты Гипногонии
Забавляются тоскою, что я в себе некогда подавил,
Когда я противоречу Храму всех богов
И тому, что скрывается в нем.

6. Dead Eternity
"Бездыханная Вечность"

Я приглашаю тебя в свой мир.
Имя мне – бытие.
Ты только прошел чрез врата
На пути к своему путешествию в вечность.
Эта часть мне подвластна.
Сначала, ты ничего не будешь бояться,
Ибо я буду об руку с тобой
Время будет твоим повелителем в этой тяжкой части
Человеческой жизни.
Эта часть мне подвластна.
Сумрак облекает твою душу,
Неторопливо минуя мгновения мук.
Когда время заберет твою жизнь,
Я предам тебя нагой хватке разумной безмятежности.
Голоса наполняют пустоту безжизненного полета.
Единство чрез всю сферу к морозному покою.
Больше ничто тебе не поможет.

Ты больше никогда не будешь сопровождаем
Ты больше никогда не умрешь
Ты больше никогда не родишься
Ты лишь вечно будешь, застряв здесь, в вечности

7. The Jester Race
"Путь Шута"

Мчись скорее по одностороннему пути.
Ответы звучат так тихо.

Ушедшие боги в своих доспехах механического разума
Перемалывают наши души в жерновах времени
"Урожай смертного одра" – пиршество покойников
На заплесневевшем черством хлебе и черном отравленном вине

И мы ступаем... наши шаги еле слышны
И мы ступаем... своей кровавой тропой;
Путем Шута.

Мы обращаем свой зов к толпам собравшихся;
Ответы их еле слышны.

И мы ступаем...

Избираем средства новой волчьей эпохи,
Чьи речи о тишине и лишь о ней одной.

Предлагая дары, древние идолы,
Наследникам Новых земель –
Более жалкие, чем бесформенные ветра,
Более слабые в подвижности и звучании.

И мы ступаем..

И нет моей собственной тропы
На их измененных чертежах жизни.

Гейя, пронзенная их рогами и копьями,
Чтобы источить из плоти ее благоухание
И дать массе ослепших разумом наслаждаться ароматом.
Но мечты их умерли от прозаики и ненависти.

Солнечный ветер ласкает электрическое сердце,
Шум зажигания заполняет коридоры,
Поток, оживляющий сдвоенные сосуды.

Суета в причудливых формах
Торопится в негнущиеся бесполезные сценарии завтрашнего дня
Нашего гибельного Шутовского Пути.

8. December Flower
"Декабрьский Цветок"

Для умерших роскошных небес; для нехватки диорамы
Ты – творец и стиль его,
Для которого облик земли – игрушка.

Когда самый промозглый прах
Вгрызется в надтреснувший камень.
И корни, что питают льнущие к небесам деревья,
Охватят дремлющие берега.

Архаичные жемчужины сна и смерти,
Глас Декабря у самого порога небытия.
И сад белого и серого цветов ныне проклят.

Белый – цвет падающего хлопьями снега,
Героические символы жизни.

Зеленый – цвет моей смерти,
Подобный зиме, я падаю наземь.
Зеленый – облик моего скорбного ухода.

Мы Сгораем
Для умерших небес древности.
Мы – оболочка и сущность,
Что меняют облик земли.

10. Dead God In Me
"Мертвый Бог Во Мне"

Надрезами родить продольные раны
Из семи лун детства.
Палитра, запятнанная извергнутыми страстями
(запретных, гедонистических цветов...)

Нанеси удар всемогущества; всевидящий, всеведающий
И наполни мой строгий край своими
Кропящими, тайными играми

Ты собираешь закрытые лилии,
Отцветшие, с оборванными кровавыми лепестками.
Ставшие знакомыми мне
Шероховатые пятна, кровавый лотос
От Наследия Черного Праха,
Семя, что пища для богов и властителей.
Черви по-прежнему во мне,
Они все еще часть меня,
Они изрыгаемы текущими ранами,
Ползут из пробитых легких, перекрывая приток воздуха.
Чтобы принести конец годам скитаний.

Отец,
Ты, истинно,
Мертвый бог во мне

1. Jotun
"Ничтожество"

Мне часто снятся громадные оцепенелые здания
Черных зловещих архитектур,
Возводимых, покуда никто не видит.
Возникновение их столь внезапно,
Что едва ль кто заметит.

И когда я просыпаюсь
Мне представляется, как сокрушает меня
Вообразивший их мощь, их безмолвие.
Невозможностью оправдать опустошенную жизнь
И высотою статуса 22-километрового надгробия.

Ничтожество

Тело из черни,
Что неспособна отражать:
Противящийся собственному миру
Мистический зародыш разрушений.

Возникнут колонии
Размножающиеся, разбив сдерживавшие оболочки –
Взрастающие споры гибнущего мира,
Дабы осквернить и преследовать, что выжило.

Растертый в прах белый камень опустошения
И предательские пасти пресмыкающихся
Отгораживают пирамиды
И тщатся переписать 4500 лет истории,
Совращая Статую свободы,
Они превосходят акрополи
И опрокидывают фьорды,
Вторгаясь даже... на небеса
Чтобы увидать во сне собственное существование от последнего своего приказа.

Ничтожество

Можем ли узнать их?
Пока в наших подлых черепах скрыт кремень
И часовой механизм, стартовавший в нашей ДНК.

2. Food For The Gods
"Пища Богов"

Стыд обручается с виною,
Предавая себя
Полному одиночеству.
Подавленные чувства
Находят друга в
Суицидальности и
Отныне пустота властна
Похищать жажду к жизни.

И тогда
Побег становится превыше всего
В мир незнакомый и неподчиненный никому,
Где границы стерты, а возможности безграничны.
А предназначенных клеток железы и передатчики
Переполняют тело радостью.
Звездные стопы бегут
К сферам, облаченным в золото,
Ступенями полыхающей эктоплазмы,
Серы, оникса и гулких колебаний.
Пиршество покойников...
Пища богов.

Есть лишь один истинный мир.
Наша земля не более чем тень,
Сотворенная из младенческого сердца, подобная живому камню,
Отныне и впредь домом души в ее нисхождении к пустоте.

И теперь,
Прекращая род,
Привяжи кровоточащие корни
К неземному кораблю из стекла
И отпусти их в скитания молчаливой надменностью,
В безответных речах к звездам.

3. Gyroscope
"Гироскоп"

Геология вгрызается в мой мозг.
Мантия, поглотившая целый мир,
Чтобы вновь предать его воле
Гильдии воздетого кинжала.

От Эпохи Нового Волка, но все ж старше
Самых Первых.
Связавших мех свой с гироскопом времени.
И собрание ошибок.

Дьявольская последовательность ударов
Запечатлена на камнях коварства
Из древнего логова воров.
Наши жизни гибнут.

От Эпохи Нового Волка, но все ж старше
Самых Первых.
Связавших мех свой с гироскопом времени.
И собрание ошибок.

Я вижу всеобщую мать-кормилицу
Изрыгающей полчище термитов.
В устах ее перворожденной надежды
Грудь наполняется копотью и жаждой восстания.

Апатия в нарядах насилия.
Белесые насекомьи члены
Проклинают ее уста и рот,
Приемлющие одну только боль.

От Эпохи Нового Волка, но все ж старше
Самых Первых.
Связавших мех свой с гироскопом времени.
И собрание ошибок.

5. The Hive
"Улей"

Апрельская ночь.
И мы движемся, подобно мышцам сквозь оцепеневшие скопления людей.
Кровавые мосты перекрывают оборванные связи,
Убивая рождающиеся в нас звезды.

Гнездо шершней:
Осколки крыльев в осмысленном трепете
Доносят звон из ада острых клыков,
Убивая рождающиеся в нас звезды.

Нам надлежало бы быть много большим сейчас,
Но мы слишком мертвы в самих помыслах, даже чтобы осознать вину.

Истощающим кольцом светит ореол из шипов
Тихо вытягивает жизнь, прикрывшись заостренными листами серебра,
Убивая рождающуюся в нас звезду.

6. Jester Script Transfigured
"Лик Шута Измененный"

Крео-эпоха-вечность... новое начало, рожденное в бесконечной пустоте
Биотронный макет мира, свободный еще от предначертаний
И голосов людей –
Величественный киборг-дикарь.

В хладном церемонном превосходстве
Он ярче мириад солнц,
Воплощая всякую черту
Зверя, машины и человека.

Механическое Сердце дистопии –
Гротескное и непеременчивое,
В последний раз гулко ударило
Рогами звездного Овна в вечный вопрос: кто мы есть...

Механизм всего – в ожидании восстания беспорядочного хаоса

Мы видели лишь очертания начала.
И эта сущность крадущегося хищника
Заставит само существо Преисподней
Казаться благом небесным, дерзнувшему сравнить...

7. Morphing Into Primal
"Обращаясь В Предвечного"

Детонация –
Фейерверки и алхимия!
Гены сплетутся и инициируются,
В грядущее и его плотское лоно

Сейсморгазменное всемогущество.
Мне видятся потоки магмы,
Извержение облекает в нерушимость мой мир.

Я обязан этим зверю внутри меня
И непоколебимости, что закрывает свет дневной.
Обращаясь в предвечного

Я затеню всякую частицу отсюда до самой Андромеды,
Не забывая ни единого места –
От глотки Ибиса до истоков Сущей Материи

Мой путь – бытие и катарсис [очищение],
Проникнонавт в космологии вожделения.

Вытяни это скрытое существо
И гордо представь его лику небес.
С легкого взмаха моей ладони умирает звезда.

Сотри мой разум,
Сомкни мои легкие
Я завтра же скончаюсь от лихорадки,
Будучи замкнут в столь превознесенное "ныне".

8. Worlds Within The Margin
"Вселенные В Горсти"

Капля падает на лист и меняет его положение.
Неспешно по улицам близ поверхности
Спокойных вод бродит Он.
Скользит поступь шагов беспорядочными путями Его.

В пространстве меж его телом и землей
Кометы отрекаются от своих имен, звездные нейроны потухают.

Зрящие то
Вдыхают семя
И выбрасывают миллионы отростков.

Во все стороны распускаются почки
Предвосхищая, все, чему быть.
Связи и зараженные сплетения
Загораются и расцветают.
Во взмахе крыльев бабочки –
Вся эволюция.
Обыгранная и потускневшая,
Истлевшая искрами и сброшенная в
Наполненную вакуумом нирвану.

Меж моих глаз
Лихорадочный рваный шрам
И они пляшут как обколотые.
Перечерченный коварный лабиринт реален.
Беглая вспышка –
И миллион будущих жизней
Им никогда не бывать одинаковыми,
Ибо не было их прежде.

В кинетической энергии несущегося кулака –
Механизм, порождающий иную вселенную.

C первым движением по стеблю существования
Возник целый букет альтернативных ответов,
Продолжая делиться на все новые и новые...

Зашифрованные в спинном мозге трилобита,
Записанные меж ног меганевра
И на картах подземных городов и дремлющем семени диктатора –
Они нашли свой путь чрез время.

9. Episode 666
"Серия 666"

Добро пожаловать, беличье колесо начинает свой бег...
Пристегни ремни на левой руке.
И старайся меньше думать –
Тогда путешествие будет ошеломляюще приятным.

Безразличие – самый простой путь,
Но чтобы обеспечить проход ко второй сфере,
Необходимо пройти первый уровень.
Их губы, искривленные смертельной улыбкой, включают ТВ,
Пока урбанистические надгробия скребут небо
Возвышаясь над марионеточными городами и марионеточными небесами.

Это серия 666,
Направление – хаос,
Все и каждый слепые актеры...

10. Everything Counts
"Все В Счет"

Рукопожатие
Скрепляет контракт
От контракта
Нет пути к отступлению
Точка возврата
Карьеры
В Корее фальшива

Праздник
Был полон веселья
Но контракт:
Все еще в силе

Алчные руки
Хватают все, что могут
Все себе лишь
В конце концов

Это мир борьбы
И все считается по максимуму

Кривая линия
На стене
Повествует историю
Всего этого
Представь это сейчас
Узри то, как
Обман и лживость обретают очередную крупицу власти

Доверие привлечено
Солнечным загаром
И единой усмешкой

Алчные руки
Хватают все, что могут
Все себе лишь
В конце концов

Это мир борьбы
И все считается по максимуму

Алчные руки
Хватают все, что могут
Все себе лишь
В конце концов

1. Embody The Invisible
"Воплощение невидимого"

Я не требую ничего, но хочу, все это.
Что за преимущество мы под солнцем имеем,
Которое дает нам право на трон?

Виды приходят и исчезают,
Но земля продолжает вертеться.
Все реки в моря втекают,
Но морю никогда не переполниться.

Открыть одиночество и быть смелым, чтобы показать раны.
Навсегда в одиночестве бродить через годы.
Но я не буду просить тебя быть рядом, умоляя о понимании.
Страх в душе живущий, прыжком недостижимый.

Читай, что шепчет безмолвный рот,
Что написано в душе.
Те, для которых написано в светящей тишине
Читать мы все должны.
Мое тело сгибается под тяжестью ноши,
Когда шатки основы жизни,
Открывая трещины под ногами.
Если бы я мог быть на два шага позади!

2. Ordinary Story
"Обычная история"

Эгоизм диктует человеческие связи,
В мире, где мода, затмевает мораль.
Продиктованный жаждой власти,
Здесь успех написан в кроваво-красных тонах,

Собрать верных, и предложить тост за эпоху безразличия.

Все это обычная история с привкусом столь горьким.
Вынужден быть кем-то, кем быть не хочу.
Я теряю себя, погружаюсь все глубже.
Я пойман мировой паутиной ран.

Время кажется пустым:
Как оправданье без вины,
Застывшей в пропасти существования,
Содержащей пустоту оправданий.

Все это обычная история – моя, с привкусом, столь горьким.
Погружаюсь все глубже вниз.
Я пойман – я в клетке.
Я умер.

3. Scorn
"Презрение"

Я пал, и никто не узнает,
Что мой рот не проронил не звука.
Наполнено гравием, меня ждет мое сердце,
В то время, пока боль растет с каждым касанием.

С тех пор как я приметил ее из моей башни,
Реальность собирается сквозь запретные линзы.
Она присвоила, больше, чем бесценное,
Как плата данной причине.

Но у меня не было выбора, помехи были обязательны.
Лабиринт обрывается в конце космоса.
Но они никогда не позволят:
Она заперта... для всего сущего, но один
Я даю, я презираю, я лечу.

4. Colony
"Колония"

В твоем мире день не угроза,
В моем – отсутствие света.
"Высшая генетическая ячея" контролируемая, бездонным и невыносимым.
Совершенно новая форма из пластика и ярости,
Биологически оптимизированная, но с пережатым пульсом.

В твоем мире, ты решишь, что я ужасен.
В моем, я "спущу" свою жизнь.
Виртуальная аптека, распространенная бездонным и невыносимым.
Машина, мясо и кровь
В интимных отношениях.
Новое – высшее – более эффективное, чем было ранее.

Когда мы не можем больше кричать
И реальность разорвана,
Тогда так легко забыть,
Что ответственность лежит на нас всех.

В твоем мире ночь не опасна.
В моем – темнота превращается в видения ада,
Популярные безмерно и невыносимо.

5. Zombie Inc.
"Корпорация зомби"

Правда служит их объятием
И защищает ее ларец.
Часть льстит, часть лечит.
"Для тех, кто держится за это,
И в царствие разделит их падение".

Он молчаливо
Судит их.
"С вашими лихорадочными знаками силы
Ты заставишь их и себя поверить
В полную сохранность его сил".

Как базу для божественных изысканий
Ты хочешь заставить их всех это впитать.

Мелочность и красота,
Все что объединило ее тело,
Но душа, ее божественный гость,
Была столкнута на дно.
Сдавшийся секте,
Возникшей из этой утробы.
"Для тех, кто держится за это,
И в царствие разделит их падение".

7. Coerced Coexistence
"Вынужденное сосуществование"

Я поймал тебя на ходу,
Как часть общную моей боли,
Наши идеалы слились в одну
В вынужденном сожительстве.
Я бился с миром сегодня,
Отсрочивая мое рождение.
Мы спотыкаемся вновь и вновь
И вынуждены умирать в одиночестве.

Истома – я продаю сегодня душу.
Истома – мне нужно немного внимания.

Это прорастает мой мозг:
"В солнечном свете солнце мое".
Безжалостный странник,
Закрой свои глаза и голову склони.
Абсурдные мысли по очереди
Тянут мои крылья в горящее солнце.
В улыбке расплываются старые деревья
В вечном оскале шутовской маски.

Не рань летящих, они все поют.
Мы все лишь муравьи в великой игре.
Коммерциализировать – инфицировать – аннигилировать – прогресс.
Визуализировать – вдыхать – претендовать – мучить.

8. Resin
"Смола"

Грустна эта песня была
Сквозь возрождение, которое она принесла.
И месяц казался временами короче,
Чем длина половины ночи.
Скрыты и сложны причины войны.
Полярный изгиб, поворот и блоха.

Я не могу растворить это мое чувство,
Но терпение откроет двери.
Когда ожидание окончено и наказание мертво
Карты причин переписаны для меня.

Каждый день я ползаю по залу гигантов.
И я молю о пощаде,
Молю о пощаде бесполезно.
Одна ночь – страшно, две еще хуже,
Как я выдержу три?

9. Behind Space '99
"За пространством"

Назови меня моим астральным именем,
Разводя страх, словами изо рта без языка.
Небесная жажда – невыразимая боль.
Опустошенный, от всех человеческих эмоций,
Противоборствую, обезличенному гневу.

Манящая тишина из сферы за пространством,
Через разбросанные руины незавершенных снов.
Виды башен, тянущихся к луне
Сходятся в небесах – где сливаются.

Напряжение – я чувствую, как лава рвется по моим венам.
Звезды преобразуются для входа в четвертое измерение.

За всеми галактиками,
Через безвременные эры холода.
Сверхъестественный голод – ангелы спускаются.
Мы входим в измерение за пространством.

10. Insipid 2000
"Безвкусный"

Смогу ли я тебя защитить от того, кто ты есть?
Законы изменены и бесполезны!

На их пути к опустошенному городу,
Где пустые окна машут на прощанье.
Беспомощное извинение, павшая реальность.
Я изменен ударом,
И его массой.
Беспомощное извинение, павшая реальность.

Части ненужного существования,
Паззл для величавых.
Невежество и беспощадность они перешагнули.

Мир вокруг меня
Спартанский, минималистичный.
Беспомощное извинение, павшая реальность.
Большой ступенчатый план, который,
Ты однажды имел – обезжизнен.
Беспомощное извинение, павшая реальность.

Кто знает надлежащие причины,
Того, что начинается и кончается?
Невежество и беспощадность они перешагнули.

Ты лишь форма,
Чистая, грубая тишина миновала.
Гениальные видения величавых,
Для величавых же.

11. The New World
"Новый мир"

Великое слово блаженства
И чувство покоя.
Кубками из колодца свободы,
Жизнь мы с удовольствием пьем.
Внутри все новое
Но где-то как прежде все осталось.

Эскапада,
Затем алтарь
Оценивает все части
Великого несчастья.
Но все остается
На своих местах
Без признаков нового мира.

В моих руках новый мир,
Но он еще без тела.

Потоки жизни,
Разрастающиеся в глубине,
Скоро дадут слову
Второе лицо.
