Death! Wahnsinn!

Ashes to ashes!
And dust to dust (to dust)!

Wrack 'em To Pieces

written by Stephan Groth & Per Aksel Lundgreen

"Let's see. What's the best way to explain RCA stereophonic sound?

Must be a simpler way. Make everything quite clear."

You're such scum, stop doing it
Do you worship them? Do you really?
Stop war, fuck those going to war
Make them stop, wrack 'em to pieces

Most of us don't want a war
Stupid murder scum
You're such scum, stop war
Those who want to go to war, wrack 'em to pieces!

Dust To Dust

Misery
Maltreatment
Needless
Suspicion
Discriminate
Diabolical

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

Freundschaft
Liebe
Peace
Forgiveness
Fear
Salvation

Ashes to ashes...

"Jeg skal ha noe av deg."
"Hva da?"
"En PROMO MAXI!"
"Det får du aldri!"

"I want something from you!"
"What?"
"A PROMO MAXI!"
"You'll never get one."

Burning Heretic

I see the sinners suffering
I hear them screaming and I watch them burn and die
It ain't looking good but never mind
Cause now they fade away

The inquisition has done its job
The dead skew just a-blowing in the wind
Their hearts were black and full of sin
And now they fade away...

Borrowed Time

You keep searching for yourself
Your minds are far away
You try to act just like them
You always do what they say

Youth of today
Act your own way
Don't be one of them, they're not sublime
Remember that you're living on borrowed time

Spiritual Reality

"The questions I've been asking are quite simply beyond my reach

Where does evil live? Is evil in the flesh?"

I sit out in despair, I don't try to run away

Couldn't stand an isolate with you

The fuse went out today, fuse surrounds me

Everything's got dark, the spies behind are close

I ran through corridors of pain

But I'm not afraid to die

Cause I'm not afraid to die

I saw the creature reach me as I close my faith to die

The plastic hits the floor, I reach out

Spirits in the sky, thunderbolts are so fletching my fears

I know where I am heading

Watch the world right through my tears

I watch the world right through my tears

Cause I'm not afraid to die

And I'm not afraid to die

Not afraid to die

"Where does evil live?"

Plasmatic drug mutation going with me through the air

And in his reach his target slowly dies

He dies in distant fear

Below the surface, buried in foreign grounds

Still searching for the truth

Why am I here, why am I bound?

And I'm not afraid to die

In the deep it's nowhere you can see

Can you feel the light?

Seven Signs

Something is reaching out for you
Opposites are struggling
It seems strange just
Like they would grab you and use you their way
And change your mind within
You surely hate them, but be sure that they return
They leave you sitting suffering, they show you no concern
But they are afraid because they have to go back
To the place where they all shall burn

Don't mess with evil forces, there are spirits everywhere
They judge you in God's mercy and they sense the evil intents
Fight back with all demons that would do you harm
Then have faith in the holy one

"Did you and Mary have sexual intercourse? Did you?"

Once more you're talking in your sleep
You're whispering my name
Once more you're frightened as a child
Your mind has been haunted again
Your skin is pale and you're travelling with fear
Fight back or they're gonna win
Spirits from beyond have tampered with your brain
Wake up or you'll go insane

Bitch

You want to cause me dead, when you are acting that way
I'm wrapped around your fingertips, I beg you to stay
I always thought that we were two of a kind
But no, we are not and you can kiss my behind

Oh! You know I tried but now I'd rather die

Than being with you again

I always tried but now I've realized

I won't go through this again

Believe it or not, but I'm still alive
You're feeding off my blood, it's like a kick in the eye

Every time you hurt me I lie helpless for a day
I try to stand up but you're in my way

"Hey! Come back here!"

(Bitch!) You know I tried but now I'd rather die

Than being with you again

I always tried but now I've realized

I won't go through this again

Arp

Drag me through the vaporous void
Prevent this misery
Stay until the end inside of me

Drag me through the vaporous void
Prevent this misery
Take me to the place where I can see you

Stitch

Clearing pain - sore emotion
Drowning me, never break the oath
Sin for salvation, like leaves we fall
From a need to nothing
I said I came to glow
Do not forsake me, I got it from the past
Kissing me, through blood I see
I never felt so cold before
The entire world diseased
So bring your soul, let's hallucinate

Pick up the knife
It's a noninfectious tool
Also known as resurrection
Because you know it, too
Just give it a name and shout
Reflection from the dead
The meaning of it all
It all occurs as a stitch

Just a stitch

Stitch

It's just a stitch

Nude...

Nude

"Have you ever loved someone?"

Walk With Me
Sample from "Twin Peaks"

Fire, walk with me

Backdraft

Freezing image, strobe of light, my head falls to the ground
Fighting with myself in search for life
Greedy fingers haunting me, I'm on my own again
No one inside, no one to blame

Petrified with blasphemy so evil will occur
And try to penetrate my soul
Systolic structure is storing information in my mind
Through eyes and ears I reach my goal

Malfunction in the system is our destiny
We're psyched and trained to win the war
The reason is that we obey what you oppose
I listen to my conscience, don't ask why

Step inside now

Watch me fall

And watch me flow
Cause we are changing structures
So kill the light

And watch me glow

Freezing image, strobe of light, my head falls to the ground
Fighting with myself in search for life
Greedy fingers haunting me, I'm on my own again
No one inside, am I insane?

Step inside now

Watch me fall

And watch me flow
Cause we are changing structures
So kill the light

And watch me glow

Skyscraping (Schizophrenia)

We rise up to the sky
Creating and killing time
We reach for the best
Bleeding for each other
We cannot stop building
We'll be scraping the skies

Someday, somehow

We'll be sublime that we'll be scraping the sky

Emotionally distorted
We are looking for what's good
We're blaming ourselves
Cause we know we should
Expect things to happen If you reach for the sky
So kill your anger and immortalize!

Lick my lips, I'm on fire
Lick my lips, I desire
Your mind is stimulated

Figure despair is running through your veins
Stand up tall, pull the trigger
Save yourself and smash the race

Someday, somehow

We'll be sublime that we'll be scraping the sky

Scraping the skies

The Sentinel

My lord, forgive me, for I have sinned
Satan has tempted me yet again
And I find myself, judged by sinners around me
I know I should feel pity
But my anger blinds me

Deep Red

Deep Red is blurring my eyes
I'll wait in the closet until tonight
I want you to explain your feelings for me
The blade on your skin is what matters to me
I will wait for you to scream and shout, but
You open your mouth and blood runs out

The knife cuts through her skin
And your heart starts beating faster
You feel the pressure within
As you look into her eyes...

Electronic Warfare

written by Stephan Groth & Per Aksel Lundgreen

Three lives to live

I'm trapped inside my zone
Firing shots, I became the target
I've lost my shields, she's bulletproof
Pressing buttons and shifting gear
You run away from what you fear
She shoots to kill
Electronic warfare!

One life to go
You shoot before you aim
I'm reaching for a killer's heart
The only thing I claim

Time is running out
Suppose it's not a game
You reload your gun
Electronic warfare!

Non-Stop Violence

Come close, step inside
Bring me news from the dying world
Contagious and careless
You're spreading your disease among us
Warm sweat, no regret
All you see is the TV set
While people around you
Are dying like flies

Come close, step inside
Bring me news from the dying world
Contagious and careless
You're spreading your disease among us
White noise in your ears
Your eyes look like monitors
But what you need is silence
And a positive vibe

Not another TV!

Nonstop violence, they feed us, cascades
Of non-believers dying in the sand
Feeding us with violence
We face the Fall of Man
Believe me or catch me if you can
(Catch me if you can!)

So I take shelter in tomorrow
Tomorrow will bring a brand new day
Think I can make it right tomorrow
Think I need more sleep today
Let's play keys again tomorrow
I need a pill to stay awake
I guess I'll always hate tomorrow
Until it's far away (away)

Near / Nearer

You are reaching your goals
But I'm still trapped inside of mine
Before the break of day
You will be gone far away

In solitude
With no place to run or hide
I hear my own mind cry
And I fall just to see you rise

And I will go down on my knees
And pray the best that I can
I want you to be near
And I will go down on my knees
And try to make you understand
My deepest fear

With pain in my heart
I will travel on my own
To a place inside
Where I can be alone

In solitude
With no place to run or hide
Again I hear this voice cry out
And I fall just to see you rise

And I will go down on my knees
And pray the best that I can
I want you to be near
And I will go down on my knees
And try to make you understand
My deepest fear

Love Never Dies (Part 1)

Forever in your arms, you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher
Driven by the power that is burning in our hearts
You know my faith in you will keep us together

Forever in your arms you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher
I sense your presence in this room, I feel that you are near
You hold me close and whisper, "Love is forever"

Love is forever...
Love never dies...

Mourn

Lost in the depths, the depths of your eyes
I couldn't resist, why should I?
I want to relax, I want to feel free
I want to be you, you want to be me

I look at you, I look at your face
You take my hand, just in case
Forever with you, you mourn I can see
Now I am you, do you want to be me?

Why are you always hiding?
Why are you always mourning?

25 Cromwell Street

Lights out
Forever in darkness
The sadness
You're insane

Inside number twenty-five
You did commit suicide
You killed them all
Then you killed yourself

They think that you're alive
But you know that they are wrong
You left your body in a prison cell
Before you went to hell

They think that you're alive
But you know that they are wrong
You left your body in a prison cell
Before you went to

Half Asleep

I'm half asleep again
My shell is sleeping, my soul is not
I feel confused, too many thoughts
I fear, I fear temptation

Weird thoughts inside my mind
Brute thoughts are tempting me
I want to do what I know is wrong

And I fear, fear temptation

Take me away
Fill me with desire
Teach me how to live
A life without regret

I'm half asleep again
My shell is sleeping, my soul is not
I feel confused, too many thoughts
I fear, I fear temptation

Something's got a grip on my mind
Enforcing me to forget about you
Makes me feel that I have to, that I need to
I fear temptation

Take me awayFill me with desire
Teach me how to liveA life without regret

Love Never Dies (Part 2)
written by Stephan Groth & Vegard Blomberg

Don't leave me, don't walk away
Stay beside me for another day
My love for you will never die

Don't leave me, don't go away
Stay near me for one more day
You know my love will never die

I would rather be in your arms tonight
Finally to close my eyes

And you to hold me tight / Forever in your arms

Untitled One

Giving them drugs
Taking their lives away

Untitled Too

You're the proud crowd waiting for
The guinea pigs to die somewhere tonight
You can't find the time to celebrate
And you have no good vibes to give away
You are always telling lies
You never show me what you feel inside
You're boring, you're a waste of time
Please leave me and I'll leave you all behind

We decide what's wrong and right
We'd rather lose than fight
We're going down and down
Without us you cannot exist
Without us you don't get no kicks
But we are going down...

Snutt 7

Tell me why I feel this pain
Help me out while you still can

To take me away

Take me away

Paranoia
written by Stephan Groth & Vegard Blomberg

Chew the pill that tastes like hell, but gives you strength
Embrace the drug that makes you mad
Cause still it turns you into something else
Feel the need for love grows stronger
You swap your mind for a mirror-search
And shake until the break of day

One day you'll realize that you were wrong
And you'll regret that all this happened
Did it happen?
Some day you'll realize that you were wrong
(To be) Left with paranoia (as your only friend)

Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies
That want to take control
They're all around you, and you're all alone
Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies
Haunting your soul
They're all around you, and you're on your own

Lidelsens Mening

This is God's will

Voice of the dead

Decrease your pain

And you'll meet God

Eclipse

As we dwell inside the safe zones that we've made
Where nothing but earthly pleasures seems to matter
The only light we see is from the screens
No will to feel or explore the forgotten dimensions

Our selfish lives have made us all go blind
But one day we'll awake by a bright light on the horizon
In one second every eye will see the same
And this blinding light will draw all our attention

Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still, for a moment
And I guess we will be making history
When we all join hands just to watch the sky
(For a moment)

Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still, for a moment
For the very first time and it's meant to be
We'll forget about ourselves and share the moment
(For a moment)

Beatbox

A metronome beat keeps us in sync
For every new bar a different color blink
Sixteen LEDs flashing, plus one mix to gain
You copy and paste yourself into my brain

Patterns to be followed, arrangements to be made
Tracks to be programmed, new patterns to be laid
Glued to fit the beat, in the same frame
You always find a way into my brain

From a blinking chip to be fit into my heart
We'll build a perfect groove, you played it from the start
From your buttons to my ears, through pleasure and pain
You always find a way back into my brain

Everything We Know Is Wrong

Spoken Words

Often experiences, like somebody call and I saw it up in the sky.
I asked questions like "who are you", "what do you want" and "why are you contacting me?"

I am to draw conclusion that the fact of human alien contact at this time is probably the least understood,
or the least recognized major force that will shape the future of the human species during the 21st century and beyond.

I do believe that not only are we being impacted by alien intelligence at this time.
I believe we have probably been impacted through our entire history, our human culture.
The human things that eventually we will understand, that our relationship with beings from another world
or other zones of reality goes back to the very beginning of our sense of time.

I think that's gonna be one of the most extraordinary and perhaps devastating discoveries in all human history.
We will discover that practically everything we know is wrong, or actually that reality is a lot more amazing than we thought.

Starsign

It's about time that this world goes up in flames!

Like a bolt from the blue, descending from the sky
My brain collapses in the dead of night
Too much for my psyche, another crack-up
If you're awake, please join me
Are the things you see, the same as what I see?
We listen to the sound of a nervous breakdown
A death wish blends with a will to live
One of the things that freaks me out

I break the chains, I'm out of line
I'm living on my nerves, last days of ninety-nine
Nightmare, conspiracy, depression and lunacy
I need to feel more love inside
Loved up, messed up, maybe there is no tomorrow
All this thinking does me no good
I'll miss you my love, but it's about time
That this world goes up in flames

I'm waiting for a sign, have to leave this place behind
Where no one knows my name
Then later we'll come down, we both break down and cry
(And say) our last goodbye...

Help Me!
written by Stephan Groth & Vegard Blomberg

"A few friends of us went inside the house
And then there came along a star ... "

I saw you take the first lingering steps away from me

Towards something, maybe towards someone
Do you believe me?

I hear you say the words that once changed me
I hear you play that 12'' I bought you
I hope you feel the same way now as you did then
But you probably don't feel anything

Don't turn me down, cause I love you

Don't turn me down, don't turn around

I hold your hand so you won't steal anything
I take your drugs so you can't feel anything
I hold you tight so you don't lose everything
But I can't hold you like this forever
So I guess I will lose you

Don't turn me down, cause I love you

Don't turn me down, don't turn around

Help me...

Kathy's Song (Come Lie Next To Me)

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
You know me better than I do

I / I'm lost again, my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You've known it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me

Come lie next to me
No light, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

You know I'm not a saint...

Moment of Tranquility
written by Stephan Groth & Jonas Groth

"Your name, please? - Garland Briggs. -
Garland, what do you fear most in the world? -
The possibility that love is not enough..."

And I turn around to talk

I face your eyes
Pride replaces fright, to my surprise
I feel as I'm falling and I see
Your soul in your eyes... as I die

I try to stand tall (to say goodbye)
You roll your eyes
You feel the same way I do, to my surprise
I feel as we're drowning in the deepest sea
You die you're gone just like me

Still her eyes are staring at me
Empty as the sky
In this moment of tranquility
I realize (that) this is goodbye

Soultaker

You don't scare me much by the things you say
Want me to be like you, I choose to live this way
You try to rule my world and hurt me every day
I want to live my life, you want to take my soul away!

It doesn't cost me much to share my thoughts with you
I know you'll never share, share my point of view
It's not that easy you know, not even if you pay
I want to be myself, you want to take my soul away!

You don't scare me much by the things you say
Just want me to be like you, I live my life my way
You try to rule my world, so what can I say?
I want to live my life, you want to take my soul away!

LNDP3 (Love Never Dies Part 3)
written by Stephan Groth, Vegard Blomberg & Fredrik Ball

Saw you looking so sad
Like everything is gone
So you left them all
Just leave them all behind
Just realize the water is way over our heads
I don't worry much, cause I'm halfway dead

So why are you crying?
Why are you crying?

Can you tell me why, can you tell me how?
Can you tell me why aren't you happy now?
Whatever it is, it's really over now
Can you tell me why, can you tell me how?

We took them by surprise
By leaving this place
Some thoughts we left behind
Some good and some sad

You should know
I hold you in my arms

Time To Move On

Listen up
Keep your eyes closed
This is the end of the first phase
Now it's time to move on

Suffer In Silence

I know I've messed things up

By turning gold to stone
Because of my free will
I lied about it all the way
I need to forget
And make this tragic feeling go away

I never heard a word
A word of what you said

Too busy being selfish

I never learned the rules of life
It's time to confess
And look you in the eyes
I need you to forgive
And make this tragic feeling go away

I know I lost
Please let me suffer in silence
I've said enough
Please help me hide from the ghost
From my past
For a while

Unicorn

You hold the candle I once lit
You shine your light
When you forgive I cry
You run your fingers through my hair
And tell me it's worth-while

It's all worth-while

Even when I hate myself
Even when I feel your pain
When you cry
Even when my heart is cold
You assure me it's worth-while
It's all worth-while

You see, see what can't be seen
You repair the damage done to me

Until The End Of The World

All the weights that keep me down
Seem heavier than before
Fate hits me in my face
Though you feel nothing

Only time will heal you say
Your words, my therapy
But half of me is gone
My dearest treasure, torn away

I'll stick with you until the end of the world
I cry out loud but you hear nothing
I wait for you until the end of the world
(Half of me is gone) My dearest treasure torn away

Rollergirl

Come on, you say
Come play (come play)
Tonight I'm awake
You'll be fine with me

I promise you I'll stay
You'll be safe
We won't sell our love today

Come over me
Come play (come play)
Tonight I'm awake
You'll be alright with me

I promise you I'll stay
For a change we'll be safe
You won't sell our hearts today

You might fall in love with someone else today
But I will always love you anyway

Pikachu™

Japanese:

1 + 1 = 3

3 - 1 = 2

Now it's me and you

You are like Pikachu

Small but strong

The bravest of us...

It's 4 AM

I watch you sleep
I pray to God your soul to keep

You're sound asleep, but I feel pain
You win my thoughts

You're in my head again

I wonder what you dream

When you dream

Do you feel what I feel?

My head is numb, my eyes are red
My soul is weak, my heart's like lead
But you make it go away

Because you're real
Because you're clean

(Clean)

Spindizzy

Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

I am much too weak, I'm about to lose my mind
My thoughts are blurred, can't believe I've been so blind
I could find a way out, could I only think straight
But I'm much too confused and it's anyway too late

I'm too dizzy to think, I'm everything but fine
I'm sick and confused, got no peace of mind
I've tried my best but got nothing more to say
I'm not in control, I hate to feel this way

I feel like I'm falling, drifting away
Spinning, floating further away

Photoshop® Sucks

"Embrace the real things in life"

Been searching along
Been searching for the real thing
Something to hold on to
These days when most things seem so fake

Something I Should Know

I've got a feeling
That tells me something's wrong
I guess I'm just jealous
But I'm afraid you know something I should know (too)

Got the feeling deep inside
That you know something I should know
I know that something isn't right
Cause I own secrets too and you know

Got a feeling deep inside...

Untitled 5

She's needing someone...

I listen to you breathe

Breath from empty lungs
You're buzzing me in my ear

And chewing on my tongue

Tangerines are frail

I fear this lust for a girl
You're lying on your back
Asking me to shut up

How much can we take

And still be intact?
It's all over, it's too late
We have to face the fact

How much can we take
And still be intact?

It's all over, it's too late

We have to ...

114 bpm

Now we've reached the point
The point of no return
The steady beat goes on
We'll move on till dawn

Faceless Fear

Faceless fear, you're here again
Your anxious vibe trying to get in
You want to take the best of me
Again you try to get under my skin

I struggle, my senses are off, I despair
I try to resist, but you're already there
The feeling I dread is in charge and then
I relive the nightmare again

Tuning In Again

I'm trying to get thru to you
I'm tuning in to the frequency of your soul

In This Together

Should have seen this coming?
Should have known this?
Shouldn't have let it happen?
My mistake, alright
Stuck again, doing my thing
Too alike, yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again

I know it's self-inflicted
We're way too desperate
Way to addicted
But I can't help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And when what felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again

And in your troubled eyes I see
Someone who carried me somehow
Like footprints in the sand
You've been behind me all along
We got it wrong from the start
Now it's you and me let's hit it on
Don't you see it's you and me against the world

Don't you see
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever

Love To Blame

We've gone a long way while learning
Still our hearts kept on burning
We've gone right, we've gone straight
And ended up far out

We've reaped the fruits of deception
Opened the doors of perception
And burned down all the bridges
We came across

When will you be whole again?
We've both been down that road
Going nowhere
Still you ask "Is love to blame?"

You Keep Me From Breaking Apart

I'm only here because of you
And because you never left me behind
Saying thanks in my own way
Say it with a song that soon will fade away

You keep me from breaking apart

You understand the chaos in my head
Only you understand every word I say
You restore my soul and erase all hurt
The hurt that only you can take away

You keep me from breaking apart

Back On Track

I hate to play my part
In this twisted odyssey
Which seems to last forever
I'm a disharmonic key
in a wicked symphony
It seems the more I hurt the better

It's way too dark to see
I'm drained of energy
Corrupted and exploited
I've cried enough for you
You've cried enough for me
The never-ending game we play

One day you'll want me again
One day you'll love me again
One day and we will be back on track again

Tuning In To The Frequency Of Your Soul

I'm trying to
Get through to you
I'm tuning in

(To) The frequency of your sou

Why won't you hear?

Why won't you feel?
I'm tuning in
To the frequency of your soul

It makes no sense

You won't connect
The more I push
The more you reject

It makes no sense

We won't connect
The more I push
The more you reject

Mercy Kill

Tell it to my face
Stab me while you can
You rip my heart open
And so we crash-land again

Stumbling forward
Just a heart of gold and a fist of glass
And so on it goes
The sharpest tool kills the fainthearted fool

Not so long ago

Just blame it all on me
Would be better off being a dead man
Lay it all on me
Destroy me while you still can

Not so long ago
It backfired and you ran
In search of higher love
And a new beginning

Now you're still dwelling on the past
I'm telling you "Come on

I would still take a bullet for you"

Lost In Translation

Fragile you are
And yet the strongest by far
Who's to save us now
That you've turned weak

I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it in my gut
Now we've really reached
The point of no return

We've all been traumatized
We were all a part of the revolution
We call the truth a lie
Too much got lost in translation

From my heart to your ears
Transforming words to tears
As vibrations of a string

Become a sound

I realize we're frail
Burnt-out and pale
Do you think we will ever learn
To love again?

We've all been traumatized
We were all a part of the revolution
We call the truth a lie
Too much got lost in translation

Maze

Will you fight on my side?
Will you stand by me until you fall?
I'm the deaf, you're the blind
Lead me out of this maze, I'm out of time

You're out there, I'm still in here
Hoping this day would never come
Now it's time to get away
I was hoping this day would never come

Get me out of this maze!

Into The Unknown

We got lost inside a storm
Dazed and hurt we fought it through
Drawn to the light, both detached
Heading into the unknown

There's a voice inside my head
Telling me to go on alone
That I'd stand a better chance
To get through this on my own

Whenever you wanted me
(Well) I was there for you
And by a torch of faith
I set myself on fire

How long must I wait for you?
Just can't get you off my mind
How long must I wait for you?
Being apart is wasting time

Black Pawn

So now you're back, you wanna fight again
No use to make a sigh, I already know your game
I know why you're here, you want to see me slain
Four a thousand years it's been the same

For the second time you're coming on again
Your faithful pawns are working hard to drive me insane
Try to keep my head high in times of rain
Grinding my teeth now, trying to cover up the pain

Feeling tired, feeling numb
How could I have been so dumb?
I let you in under my skin
To be ditched and left alone

I see fire in the sky
You turn me down, I wonder why
One day revenge will be all mine
Until then I walk the line

Friendly Fire
written by Vilde Lockert Odden

In a twisted dream I met a random girl
Her eyes sore tragedy, filled with mascara tears
Hollywood Jesus met a random girl
Like a gaffe giant, he says, step into my world

An illustrated dream, with a friendly fire
I was Hollywood Jesus, fulfilling every desire
Girl with mascara tears and eyes of tragedy
Like a twisted dream burned friendly fire

Divine insanity

You and me

Friendly fire
Meant to be

Burning desire

Weight Of The World

Pleased to meet you

We came to drop bombs on you

Shatter illusions
Connect the dots and yell the truth

They'll trade fame, sex and gold
For a piece of your soul

So no one told you
They've been lying to us all along
They thought-control us

1984 is now

Imagine there's no Lennon
It might be hard, but give it a try

Deceit, it will kill you!
Defeat, it will show what you're made of!
Retreat - never surrender!

You say you carry the weight of the world
Guess who's carrying you

Apollo (Live On Your TV)

The sun is up, the mission begins

Suits and helmets on, now we look like twins

Are we going to succeed, I wonder

Then they shut the door and engines start to roar

Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!

Staring at a paper moon, thinking to myself

I wish we'd go home soon

Inside the eagle's shell we float in space

We know just what to do waiting for our cue

Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!

Spread the news from east to west

Greatest wonder of our time - We got it on film

Live on your TV - defying gravity

There's a pale blue planet beneath us

We're live on your TV - dictating history

Knowing that they'll never believe us

"Though thou exalt thyself as eagle
and though thou set thy nest among the stars
thence will I bring you down"

Asleep Or Awake?

What's with your head?
Controlled, dumbed down
Since your life began
They play us like fools
We sell out to be in
A bread and circus game

They dumbed us down and slowly

Changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing but never-

Ending wars in which

We're all gonna lose

What's going on, you're sedated again?
Already wasted half your life
Stone cold hearted and arrogant
They teach "Ignorance is bliss"

Now I lay me down to rest
But I can't get no sleep
It's getting late, you still won't listen
I'd better stay awake

They dumbed us down and slowly

Changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing but never-

Ending wars in which

We're all gonna lose

Ourselves

Incompatible

They say reality is an illusion

We all create our own

So who is right or wrong?

Yes, I am still searching for the truth

When did you stop looking?

Where did we go wrong?

Every time you create a problem

You have the remedy

The same old strategy

I ate the red pill, no turning back

The gloves are off now

Where did we go wrong?

Where did it all go wrong?

For all this time

They've deceived the nations

It always makes me sick

I don't belong here

If I turn off, then engage me please

Count my heartbeat ...

Where did we go wrong?

Molded to fit into a system

A brain-dead society

No questions being asked

Our minds are bent

Raise your fists and yell

"Power to the sheeple!"

Where did we go wrong?

The fruit of my imagination

A blessing or a curse

I'm a stranger in a plastic nation

Stuck in reverse

Take a look from my perspective

It's so obvious to me

I can't stand this narrow-mindedness

You'll always disagree

We're incompatible

United States Of Credit

Spoken words

I pledge allegiance to the card

Of the United States of Credit

One nation under debt

With bankruptcies, late fees

And high interest for all

Shadow

Staring at the ceiling, sorting out my thoughts
Weighing every word I want to say
Darkness fills the room, it's closing in on us
The words all come out wrong again, I let you down

If I could just trust more I'd dare to speak the truth
Wish I could give one hundred percent
It's sad and unfair, you too are suffering
When I'm the guilty you are the innocent

A shadow hanging over me, it clouds my mind
Preventing any sane thoughts to occur
A silhouette is cast on your side of the bed
Reminding me of what I have become

For way too long
I've been merely a shadow of my true self
I'm in despair

I'm beyond repair

Green Queen

Restless moving on
It’s a battle for your life, you'd better run
Together they come strong
Now you realize what’s been going on

Poison on your lip
Expecting someone else to die from it
She stole another soul
Trapped, imprisoned under her control

You’re exposed now
I’m back to "square one" again
So much clearer now
For good I’m breaking the chain

I don’t need you
I’ve fallen for a scam
I never asked you to come into my life
You destroyed what I am

(When) You broke my heart
And you made me blind
You tied my hands so that I couldn’t fight
Yeah, you broke my heart
And made me blind
You cursed my path now I can’t find
Peace of mind

Butterfly Defect

"She says I know a lot"

Watching from above

The deep blue seas

The yellow fields

And all the green

But in between

I see grey smoke

Cancer like black spots

Looks just like LA

But there is much more

There is much more to this

Than you can see

Oh, there is much more

There is much more to this

I guarantee

Just wait and see

The aeroplanes

Flying by

They carry paperclips

And young blond girls

There is much more

There is much more to this

Than you can see

Oh, there is much more

There is much more to this

Have a closer look
Then you'll see

The State Of Your Heart (Shit End Of The Deal)

I'd give you the strength to carry on
If I had any strength myself
Things have changed from bad to worse
Somehow we never blamed ourselves

Should have taught you how to deal with things
But back then I had no clue
Now demons from our past have come haunting you

It's killing me

To think of how it used to be
The state of your heart
The bitter hurt yet beautiful

We had our roots pulled up
Nothing's grounding us
We got the shit end of the deal

(Forever)

Spoken words by Chris White

Right →

They will burn us at stakes, tell us we're fakes

Inferior insane

They'll break every rule, make us their tool

Corrupt us, make us vain

Ahead of your time, you poked out your eye

Then rose to fame

As blind as a bat, unaware of the fact

You're just a pawn in their game

Just a pawn in their game

I'm over here on the right →

Getting ready to fight

No gnashing your teeth for me

Pitch Black / Heat Death

Pitch black - I'm easy prey tonight

You know how it goes, you can't deny

That's right, I sell out every time

It's going downhill, but still I climb

I got two strong hands and some good genes, I'll survive

Still I'm in the wrong lane cause I don't drive

I tell myself "out of sight, out of mind"

Have to learn the hard way every time

Heat death - Can't wait till you get here

I'm gonna pack my stuff and disappear

You know it stings my heart and crushes my pride

But unlike me he'll stay by your side

You know it's only me against the world this time

Too bad being stubborn is a crime

Found a note, written to me, I guess

It said "I died for you, cause you're a mess"

I had to learn it the hard way

I let you go, I let you run away...

Black Versus White

"It's all gonna burn"

The piper is playing just the right song

Pretty faces smiling so convincing

They are all doing it, they got it all

What are you waiting for, follow the leader

It all seems so perfect, make love not war

Pick and choose a cure for boredom

We're so close to the edge now, but nobody cares

Far away, in the arms of morpheus

Sit back and enjoy the very last show

Watch the prophecies unfold before us

Step back for a while, look into their eyes

"Now it's dark", the party is over

We all agree this ship is going down

And what goes around comes around

Running away at the speed of light

Won't keep us safe - black versus white...
