1. Mechanized Reality

Wealth a symbol of power
Aristocratic in It's tower
The hands of feeble drones
Feed the scenery to bitter clones
They control the mechanical junction
Nursed by criminal sanctions

Mechanized Scrutinized
Here's to love to hate and to promises

Existence-resistance
Renewed by the condition of the earth
Poverty a symbol of destruction
Crumbling species caught in perpex
On their way to total domination
Sucking the new synthetic drug

Fallen mannequins in the dope show
Faceless drug dolls in the dope show

2. The Usurper

Images of imitation is your mark
You wear the mask of innocence
Bringer of the deadly poison

Lacerator master of
Desecrator master of disguise

I express my indignation at you
The horror you create will burn away
Even the glow of your last carnage will fade
On the carousel of the macabre you will fall
The only salvation will I find in your downfall

3. Spite Keep Me Silent

Pleading with the spirit world
To leave the earth
Like a parhelion diving into the mountains to find peace

Delve I look for answers
In broken glass
I'll burn the flame that leads me

Still clinching on
To the one who created I

Pass the serpents kiss
And the chalice with poisonous wine
My sins I take upon me
And as always must I hide
In the absence of the light
My foul presence cast deadly shadows in the sunlight
Cursing all precious
And life giving images

Images of three once united
Now separated for eternity

4. Obsession

I know you tried to hold back the pain
You tried to free me by burning it away
The flickering of a candle light
Gives me an inner peace late at night

All the hate lives in me
All the anger that I feel

The peace of a velvet cloak
Wrapped around you on a cold winters night
Don't look to the stars
To find the answer
They mislead you
And leave you cold and blind

Don't look to the stars
To find the answer
They mislead you
And leave you cold and blind

There is no possible reason
For me to look further

The further I look
The further I go
The longer I sink into oblivion

5. New Business Capitalized

Power suppress the weak
Sweeping people off their feet
Bite the hand that feed
Feast upon the meek

Try to take control
Sink the mother ship
Reinvent the steel
And set your soul free

Slave to capitalism
Slave to the grind

My eyes swept the horizon
My eyes saw people in need
Their hands where ancient and cold
Their hands where the hands of a god

6. Hunger Strikes

Blood on branches
As the night kills the day
Silver light gleaming
When the sun turns away
The tranquility of the day now gone
Children of the night howl my song

Bring me gifts keep me warm
The crimson red liquid is my call

Hungry souls pursuing their prey
Fangs and wings in a deadly dance
Embrace the opportunity to emerge
And drain the victim of all blood

7. Always Closing

We're almost here alone together
I was wrong to ever doubt
You say I'm man forever
You say I'm staying
And will never leave

You say I will but I know I don't
You say you will but I know you won't

In a mind that's always closing
Can't find my way
Out of this maze

I try to hide – try to get away
But I know I can't

The echoes of her still lives in me
The fallen leafs are all left behind
As we pass ourselves on the way down
We still live for the first love

8. Punishment Macabre

The way to success
Is tainted with your bad behaviour
Vast expanse of water
That appear beyond belief

Crying – In lament
Crying – In lament

Entwine with pathetic dreams
Fettered and beaten down
Obstacles prevent you from reaching
The highest peak

Crying

Put down for your lame appearance
No one will hear your cries
Cries that afflict with a sick mind
I never punished you for dreaming
I never did

9. Exit 2000

Society crumbles
Like a barren wasteland
Seemingly infinity supply
Built up on lie after lie

Fragile structures cease to exist
While the government
Harvests the weak
A vague memory of fresh soil
I can taste it still
Taste it still

Cascade dark surroundings
In front of me

It's raining now
Believe the time has come

The wave of time with no conscience
The heavens will move
And the earth will quake

10. Wasteland Serenade

Seen the fire of the elder gods
The purity of a new born child
Still burns in me
Where angels fall and eagles dare
You find my lair

I am the wolf amidst the sheep's
I'll be singing for everyone
Who let them all go to waste

Sinful one come dance with me
And walk the barren fields for years

The fumbling of words
The search for the pure
The force that bound them together
The chanting waves now gone

I have watched them fall
I have watched them crawl
I have watched them tremble
Upon the dark

11. Dream Of The Dreamers (Bliss 2)

Holding on to what's left inside
Crimson silk white starlight
Snow is falling in the moonlight
We say that time is on our side

Holding hands lying side by side
You were always there
At the right time
Leading me to eternal bliss

We have danced to long
We have dreamt the dreams
We have seen the brightest star
We have drifted apart

Holding on to what's left inside
Singing the last song
The song of the dream
That dreamt of the dreamers
