In Orbit 06:06
An endless vicious circle history remains the same a factory for souls who die Acid dreams and warzones golden pills for everyone mass free will production And yet the wheel keeps turning a wishing well that is stone cold And yet the wheel keeps turning a poison ivy we ignore Numb our heads moreover we find bliss inside a box we dig our grave from the inside Deprive us all of dreaming sell our lives a penny’s worth then return to claim more
2.
The Overseer 05:05
Born in silence taking his place Infinite line can't be broken Many tried to look above Saw themselves staring back No thrones or heavens no deamons nor hell Sands in the hourglass the Overseer waits Earths passed experiments were lost One more to come maybe this lasts more Dead end again same old mistakes Close to the point they think they know Another naked soul on its way to salvation a sorrow's path to the void as it's aching for light Beyond regrets and remorse, the sand of time ended lost in tranquility sea the Overseer cries
3.
Dimming lights and music silent applause Breathing in your fears time for a show A tragic figure hero plenty of flaws Inside your four walls the world's a stage This is a part that you deny and yet a play you wish to see Another act of your own life just a dime for a fee The Theatre of the Absurd Something's wrong about it can't improvise As the spotlight sparkles strings arise They emerge from shadows when curtains fall Smiling in the ghost light won't see the dawn
4.
Words are born in a silent way then abused or thrown away Points of view or emptiness living in total nothingness Acts derive from hollow ground a pointless truth, that’s to be found Words will fall for the rest to see a fragment of reality At war - with the age of self stand tall - and hold to reason They will fall, They will fall At war - with the rise of one stay strong - and hold to reason They will fall, They will fall The structured hell on earth could justify a fine denouncement of the human side This triumph of vanity will redeem us from insanity? No moral sense just pure decay excuses drop in fine array One can see but will not interfere living in fear, living in fear At war - with the age of self stand tall - and hold to reason They will fall, They will fall At war - with the rise of one stay strong - and hold to reason They will fall, They will fall To breathe – no place to breathe to speak – no one to speak war has begun – can’t be undone against the odds and the fall of reason To see – nothing to see to feel – nothing to feel war has begun – can’t be undone against the odds and the fall of reason To breath – when there’s no one breathing to speak – when there’s no one speaking war has begun – can’t be undone against the odds and the fall of reason To see – when there’s no one seeing to feel – when there’s no one feeling war has begun – can’t be undone against the odds and the fall of reason

Utopia 06:59
Behold a world brave and bold ready to embrace tomorrow Science and law without a flaw power of reason above all No fake gods against all odds war and despair, forgotten Carvings on wall after the fall only a word, "remember" Once upon a time we aimed so high tried to reach the sky to find god look him in the eye We were blind to see the end was nigh when we touched the sky An empty throne We were left to die
6.
Gray 06:44
Fine reflection waters run too deep Recreation of images to keep Small disturbance falling in dismay Take a glance before it goes away Lost in screens and left forgotten to the well of nothingness i'm falling - falling Shades of vanity now rotten through the picture ugliness is calling - i'm falling Such a beauty should not be ignored It's a duty hide that you are bored Sheep that follow they don't stand a chance Lives are hollow everyone in trance Lost in screens and left forgotten to the well of nothingness i'm falling - falling Shades of vanity now rotten through the picture ugliness is calling - i'm falling
7.
Come on and take a look into the looking glass another world appears before your eyes Forget about the rules you'll have to learn anew for what is plain wrong seems right to you We're all mad in here You can't avoid what is in you I hope you care to see this through We're all mad in here Seems like a dream but this is real Lie with a grin and you will heal We're all mad in here You can't outrun the time but only follow it A servant dressed in white may hold the key The gardens grow beauty A terror lies ahead The ravens on the desk will write the end
8.
There is a lot you're going through Won't ask for help and you need to For days and nights left with your fights No friend or foe just by yourself New place to live wisdom to give Random profiles will root for you A risky game forever blame Whomever same that has no life Go hide behind a colour the only way to honour and hide behind your fiction ideas and jurisdiction Go hide behind your finger keep silent when you're eager to hide behind a token and leave the world heartbroken What's wrong with us got split by trash Then weasel out and hide the truth Won't understand where we all stand Thus left behind the bars of life Media preach and try to breach Our last resort the healthy mind They will create empires of hate Perhaps too late but there is hope
9.
Power - divide and conquer is the oldest way Fire - run for cover bullets gone astray Feeling numb in the middle of nowhere trying to escape Over - the hills lies freedom unless you 're betrayed Walking the earth, nomads in disguise Gripping the hands while our dearest demise Biting the bullet for another sunrise Nothing will prosper in the land of the wise Anger - runs in your veins for what you became Liar - dying for no one you 're the one to blame Ruby red on your hands and your soul nothing left to say Eager - march to oblivion just a breath away
