When You Die 02:47
All your life you have obeyed the rules All that time you lived your life by the book Or so you kept telling yourself And you never listened to what anybody else said Now here you are With nobody on your side You’ve spent all this time Building a massive wall around yourself You don’t even try To make sense of any of this It’s easier to sing yourself to sleep With a lullaby of lies Every life has so much potential An entire world out there is waiting for you So many wounds to mend We are not supposed to increase their number Look how you have wasted so many opportunities To make this world a better place You have spent your time alienating others from yourself You ended up being on your own You live in a delusion Of being a decent guy But let me ask you the question: Who will cry for you when you die?

Blind Faith 03:31
Dedicate yourself To follow the pack Ask nothing Just accept the doctrines Obey the rule Of the supreme leader As if your eternal fate Depended on it What started as a revelation Becomes a nightmare A downward spiral A tunnel with no bright end You got lucky You found your way out Found a second chance For a life of sanity As it looks that chance Did not last for long You exchanged one nightmare For another Another supreme leader Of a similar nature A slightly different building On the same foundation What started as a revelation Becomes a nightmare A downward spiral A tunnel with no bright end You need to find the way out Once and for all Exchange the heavy burden For the easy yoke Open your eyes Renounce the blind faith You’ve put in false idols That cannot save you Open your eyes Renounce the blind faith You have a much better life in store Don’t throw it away

Your words are smooth Soothing itching ears Your tongue speaks eloquently You’re a delight to hear Too bad it is so Only on the surface What lies behind is Rotten to the core The shiny apple You are offering Is drenched In deadly poison It takes A single careless bite For a man To fall down Your persuasive words Are meant to deceive If possible Even the strongest of men What may sound like the heavenly choir of angels Is really a chant of unclean demons from the pits of hell The bright figure you see posing as the angel of light Is in fact the old arch enemy, the father of all lies The speech you’re delivering Is meant to lure our souls away You act like a messenger of heaven But you are a herald of hell

Drain 03:28
Emptying one bucket after another Into what seems a bottomless pit With nothing to sustain the cycle Your reserve is getting drained This creature has an unquenchable thirst That can never be satisfied It will not stop until it squeezes The last ounce of energy out of you You have done all in your power There is nothing more that you could offer Self-pity, a deadly disease When the patient rejects the cure You have done all in your power There is nothing more that you could offer Self-pity, a deadly disease When the patient rejects the cure Sever the tie, unchain yourself You are worth much more than this Time to regain control over your life And recharge the batteries

A storm is raging I see the floods rise I feel I am losing my foothold It is hard to resist the tide A storm is raging I see the floods rise I feel I am losing my foothold It is hard to resist the tide Buildings collapse Everything around me gets soaking wet I am trying to keep my head up Above the rising waters The fire supposed to keep me warm Is no longer burning I can no longer see the embers glimmer It’s getting cold inside My heart feels numb I cannot stay this way This death will not be the end of me My heart must re-ignite The spark of life must catch fire again The God-shaped hole in me Is getting filled again With fuel from above Now fires rage within Let them consume the rotten ways Unclean thoughts of the past The way forward is clear Following the pillar of smoke ahead
6.
The guests have arrived Some uninvited Some others have outstayed Their welcome Time to make inventory To see who is to stay And to whom The door must be shown My house, my rules I’m not your fool My house, my rules If I want to, I give you the boot My house, my rules I’m not your fool My house, my rules Better off without you
