Malfunctioning Senses

|
|

|
Gradually losing
Their grip on the real world
A whirlwind dragging in
Its victims
Open eyes, closed minds
Under a spell
Malfunctioning senses
Feeding misinformation
The ties with others breaking
Replaced by superficial
Artificial connections
Pretending to belong to
A community that was never for real
Genuine feelings suppressed
Replaced by superficial
Artificial emotions
Induced by the urge to fit in
While hiding all that’s real inside
Open eyes, closed minds
Under a spell
Malfunctioning senses
Feeding misinformation
Virtual friends, virtual loves,
A virtual world
Virtual personalities
The deception is real
The ties with others breaking
Replaced by superficial
Artificial connections
Pretending to belong to
A community that was never for real
Genuine feelings suppressed
Replaced by superficial
Artificial emotions
Induced by the urge to fit in
While hiding all that’s real inside

Changing Colours
01:57
|
|
||
|
You see the corruption of the system
A system built on solid foundation
But now ready to be condemned
The walls might fall in any moment
You came you saw you conquered
The playground was all yours
It was time to make your vision real
Too bad now you can’t tell the new system from the old
Changing colours
Changing faces
Principles and doctrines
Remain the same

Glimmering Light
01:51
|
|
||
|
Step after step
Mile after mile
Feet getting tired
On the straight and narrow
The whispering of the wind
Is suppressed by the songs of sirens
The road gets hard to see
In the descending darkness
Looking back at the past
Your mind is playing tricks on you
What used to be a living hell
Now looks so charming for you
A thousand fall at the left
Ten thousand on the right
Yet you can make it
If you hold on tight
Listen to the gentle breeze
As it whispers in your ear
Don’t stray from the path
Just believe, don’t fear
Looking back at the past
Your mind is playing tricks on you
What used to be a misery
Should never again hold you
Can’t you hear that still small voice
Can’t you see that glimmering light
Can’t you hear that still small voice
Can’t you see that glimmering light

Distorted Mirror
02:05
|
|
||
|
Terror
Plant it in the hearts
Murder
Hide nothing from the eyes
Disaster
Feeding on the pain of the
Victims
Merchants of death
Distorted mirror
Contorted minds
Shoving your views
Down the throat
Ignorance
Neglect the facts that don’t
Support
The “truth” you would present
Distorted mirror
Contorted minds
Shoving your views
Down the throat
You bring division
To the homes
I see your hooves
See your horns

Emotional Wasteland
02:10
|
|
||
|
Economic welfare
The only goal that’s out there
Spiritual starvation
No more quest for salvation
The individual above all
No-one else matters no more
The ego in the centre
Bonds are growing weaker
Bored faces, numb souls
Hearts grow stone cold
No compassion, no friends
Emotional wasteland
Cheap entertainment
The industry’s purpose
No deep emotions
Scratching the soul’s surface
Bored faces, numb souls
Hearts grow stone cold
No compassion, no friends
Emotional wasteland

Lust for Power
01:51
|
|
||
|
Uncontrolled
Ambitions
An unfulfilled desire
In the heart
High, higher, highest
But still not high enough
That commanding voice in your ear
Keeps urging you to move
You will have no rest
After achieving a goal
You want more and when you’ve got it
You want even more
Lust for power and control
Consuming you
Your insides are on fire
The flames eat you up
That voice in your ear
Is never shutting up
On your quest for power
You must never stop
|

Agoraphobia
00:36
|
|
||
|
Voluntarily chosen
To live between close walls
A decision induced by
The fear of losing control
Never leave the comfort zone
Settled in the safe haven
The result is a distorted view
On the world we live in
Fear of losing control
|

Prophet of You
02:12
|
|
||
|
You speak again
You’re wrong again
You clearly haven’t
Learned anything
From the mistakes
And failures of the past
Prophet of you
Prophet of self-declared truth
Words from your mouth
Words so easy to see through
My ears got tired
Of your lies
My eyes got weary
Of watching you fail
Prophet of you
Prophet of self-declared truth
Words from your mouth
Words so easy to see through
You’re on stage again
The show must go on
The same old routine
The old formula again
I have seen this too many times
And I’m not impressed any more

Compressive Asphyxia
02:22
|
|
||
|
Gazing into lifeless, unblinking eyes
Paralyzed, under a hypnotic spell
All the life is slowly going away
Lungs collapsing in a fatal embrace
Morbid curiosity opened the door
A harmless looking game gone terribly wrong
The embrace of the constrictor gets tighter and tighter
Terrified to see it has taken over control
Some doors should stay closed, some boxes never opened
Some secrets should stay unrevealed, some curtains undrawn
The cork has been pulled, the bottle opened
The ghost got out and now it’s after you
Now it is clear where the mistake was made
With weakening breath pray it’s not too late

Contemporary Idolatry
01:38
|
|
||
|
Masses worship the idols
Of modern day
Glittering celebrities
Of fortune and fame
Carefully thought out images
Projected on big screens
Prophets of false beauty
Distorting expectations and goals
Seduced by nonexistent
Creatures
Manipulated by invisible
Instructors
Carefully thought out scenes
Inducing calculated reactions
Prophets of the ungenuinity
Counterfeiting real values

Ostrich Effect
02:00
|
|
||
|
You see what’s going on
But you choose to close your eyes
Turn your head and walk away
Leave the scene of the crime
Act as nothing happened here
Nothing at all
It’s none of your business
Everyone has their own
Avert your eyes
Shut your ears
Put on a mask
With an artificial smile
See no evil, hear no evil
Bury your head in the sand
You see what’s going on
But you choose to deny the facts
Why change reality
While you can still pretend
That everything is fine
And goes as it was planned
Avert your eyes
Shut your ears
Put on a mask
With an artificial smile

At a Loss for Words
01:49
|
|
||
|
It is so hard to find
To find the right words
The words that could describe
Or could even get anywhere close
(Close to what I feel)
I am speechless
It’s not that I have
Nothing to say
But I am at a loss for words
This burdened tongue of lead
Cannot express my feelings
Though they could give you a hint
Of what would be about to come
(If I could have it my way this time)
I am speechless
It’s not that I have
Nothing to say
But I am at a loss for words

Darkened Eyes
02:10
|
|
||
|
Humble beginnings
Humble but honest
A fancy present
Fancy but crooked
Where’s your integrity
When was it lost
At which step down the road
To fame and fortune
Your words have lost their meaning
Your lips still move but they don’t utter
The truth no more, it’s out of sight
For your darkened eyes
You’re a grotesque image
Of who you used to be
A caricature
Of the glorious past
Your words have lost their meaning
Your lips still move but they don’t utter
The truth no more, it’s out of sight
For your darkened eyes

Dead Bury the Dead
01:51
|
|
||
|
Remembering
Bad memories
The ghosts of yesterday
Are haunting you again
Leave your past behind
Don’t let it define who you are today
Leave your past behind
Focus on what’s ahead and press on towards the goal
Let the dead bury the dead
Past failures
Flashing back
The stench of an unburied yesterday
Filling the air
Leave your past behind
Don’t let it define who you are today
Leave your past behind
Focus on what’s ahead and press on towards the goal
Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead

Going Down
02:00
|
|
||
|
It all used to be so much different
It’s so hard to believe today
You used to be so much different
Not the monster you became
You had a lot but you craved for more
Your greed knew no limit
You wanted too much
So you sacrificed everything
Going down is not enough for you
You want to drag along everyone else
Destruction is in your blood now
You don’t care about the consequence
It all used to be so much different
You weren’t the monster that you became
You had a reputation
But you wanted more
You wanted to be number one
That’s how you got so low
Going down is not enough for you
You want to drag along everyone else
Destruction is in your blood now
You don’t care about the consequence
Going down is not enough for you
You want everything to be destroyed
Hatred is in your blood now
You watch man with utter scorn

A Victim of Circumstance
01:37
|
|
||
|
It all just happened
I wasn’t even there
Well perhaps I was after all
But I’m still innocent
Even the shadow of guilt
Can never fall on me
My conscience is clear
It is white as snow
Don’t blame me
Don’t ever say that I’m responsible
Don’t blame me
I’m just a victim of circumstance
Stop telling me that I have
Responsibility
To hell with you and your old fashioned
Views on morality
Don’t blame me
Don’t ever say that I’m responsible
Don’t blame me
I’m just a victim of circumstance
Don’t blame me
How can you say that I’m responsible
Don’t blame me
I’m innocent, just a victim of circumstance
