The Snake Inside 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Snapping twigs and rustles in the bushes Something's lurking out of sight Every sense is on the alert Every muscle tense Glowing screen and ear-splitting noises No escape from TV's call Minutes turning into hours In your self-built cage Why do you yield to the unreal? Why do you crave for the artificial? Why do you yield to the unreal? Why can't you see it's a deadly ritual? Every creature's guided by their instinct Spiral of continuous connection Digital dependency Technological hysteria Leading you astray Why do you yield to the unreal? Why do you crave for the artificial? Why do you yield to the unreal? Why can't you see it's a deadly ritual? Wake up Your consciousness is prey Feast for your reptile brain The ancient beast you cannot tame Wake up It's out of your control It wants more and more The snake inside is swallowing you whole Luscious foods and beautiful fake bodies Supernormal Stimuli Triggers of the primal urges Marketing gone wild Wake up Your consciousness is prey Feast for your reptile brain The ancient beast you cannot tame Wake up It's out of your control It wants more and more The snake inside is swallowing you whole Wake up Your consciousness is prey Feast for your reptile brain The ancient beast you cannot tame Wake up It's out of your control It wants more and more The snake inside is swallowing you whole

Sordid Liar 04:06
lyrics

Carelessness Time and time again you have misled me Thievishness You've exploited me 'cause I was so fragile Breach of faith You have shredded all my certainties Loneliness A fortress in which I could take refuge To regain myself Day by day A constant shame Guilt and grief suffocate my will To resist this agony Nightmares come to recall the past All of this ‘cause I’ve been a sordid liar Blinded by greed My grudges So reasonless My envy, what an idiocy Deception Betrayed trust My egoism, my cold void I know All of that is wrong, there's no excuse Vanity Clouding my perception with desire and want I've lied not to seem like a hollow man Thinking I would not hurt anyone Day after day I feel A costant shame Guilt and grief suffocate my will To resist this agony Nightmares come to recall the past All of this ‘cause I’ve been a liar Guilt and grief suffocate my will To resist this agony Nightmares come to recall the past All of this ‘cause I’ve been a liar Anguish burns my tormented mind As if I fell into a fatal fire When I was young my old man told me Never lie to yourself Now seize his words And learn not to betray who follows you Let them look into your heart

Early Sun 05:43
lyrics

I wandered all night No fixed plans, no destination I got off the train Miles away from here I have a backpack to rest my head on I just can’t sleep ‘Cause my body is tired But my mind’s travelling through the lands Time to see a new day's dawn The moon’s fading out Giving way to the early sun The cry from deep within I need to feel the wind The soothing breeze that blows across my face When I’m walking this path My soul is leading me Farther away from city lights And I will find whatever I'm looking for While I’m chasing the sun The road is taken No boundaries, no clinging chains I’ll go where no one knows my name There’s only forward, I’m not looking back The fire of courage burning inside me I’ll explore this new world ahead of me Nowhere to go but everywhere The cry from deep within I need to feel the wind The soothing breeze that blows across my face When I’m walking this path My soul is leading me Farther away from city lights And I will find whatever I'm looking for While I’m chasing the sun Over the bad memories Far from the ghosts of my past No remorse No matter what I leave behind No one else Will tell me who to be The cry from deep within I need to feel the wind The soothing breeze that blows across my face When I’m walking this path My soul is leading me Farther away from city lights And I will find whatever I'm looking for While I’m chasing the sun With my life in my hands I hold tight onto the cord of my new beginning Flying high, above the clouds A white kite touched by the early sun (With my life) With my life in my hands I hold tight onto the cord of my new beginning (In my hands) Flying high, above the clouds A white kite touched by the early sun

Mirrors 06:09
lyrics

Dry, your lips are dry again Normal, your breathing is normal now Lying, lying alone in your bed Laying away your cigarette pack Staring at the phone, so many calls From everyone but the one who matters most Feeling ready for anything Since the moment you gave him life Standing before these mirrors you fear You see her standing where you should be Is she the side the others can see? Is your reflection your own worst enemy? Your eyes, filled with bitter tears Your skin, more bruises to hide You were, radiant, with lovely bright eyes Singing in church, always dressed to the nines Those were days when you used to believe But now you’re fighting all alone, only for him Standing before these mirrors you fear You see her standing where you should be Is she the side the others can see? Is your reflection your own worst enemy? Standing before these mirrors you fear You see her standing where you should be Is she the side the others can see? Is your reflection your own worst enemy? The doorbell keeps ringing They can’t wait anymore How many times have you thought of leaving? Taking back your life, not to cave in Now that you have a son to raise Find your strenght beyond these mirrors Standing before these mirrors you fear You see her standing where you should be Is she the side the others can see? Is your reflection your own worst enemy? Standing before these mirrors you fear You see her standing where you should be Is she the side the others can see? Is your reflection your own worst enemy?

Broken Stones 06:19
lyrics

Long ago There was a very wealthy man With more gold than he could ever spend Sweat and mud had never stained his silk clothes or his jewels He already had it all But still wanted more Long ago There were a thousand children Growing up without the joys of youth Sand and dust had settled on their shoulders for a long time And their names meant nothing to their oppressor Whip marks on their backs For tiny mistakes Unbearable pain For one man's lust How did nobody care? Ask the sky The story of the vile man Who chained the unlucky children Entrapping all their dreams The broken stones at their feet Debris of a shattered freedom One day The man received a gift The spirits heard his sighs of discontent They made him Lord of Rain But he went mad with power Roaring rage of thunder spread over flooded fields Lightning slashed the earth but the mountain didn't quake Ask the sky The story of the vile man Who chose to be the mountain That knew not of defeat He stood tall in all his majesty But then a familiar sound He couldn't stand the blows on his stone flesh The sorrow struck as deep as a whiplash With every strike, he felt torn to pieces He tried to scream, but he was silent When his slaves had him at their mercy The spirits didn't answer his prayers Hammers and chisels Weapons of revenge After years of ruining lives The vile man paid the price He was not the only one His legacy still lives on

Loss 04:37
lyrics

God, what have I done wrong? I know what I should say, but I can’t say it There’s no way to tell you how I feel I think of a word and then it’s gone, instantly I’m a father who can teach no more ‘Cause I've stopped remembering well No one even knows for how long I will be a cross to bear Strange, the words are on the tip of my tongue But I just can't forget the feelings I... Have you, my dears But I shouldn't be your only concern The only way to carry on Is still the same Looking back at the good times With a silly smile I’m a father who can teach no more ‘Cause I've stopped remembering well No one even knows for how long I will be a cross to bear I've lost my train of thought I feel I have gone far enough When I give the impression of being confused The time has come to stop waiting for a miracle The words are on the tip of my tongue But I just can't forget the feelings I have you, my dears But I shouldn't be your only concern The only way to carry on Is still the same Looking back at the good times With a silly smile I’m a father who can teach no more ‘Cause I've stopped remembering well No one even knows for sure how long I will be a cross to bear Don't worry 'bout my loss 'Bout my absurd disease I'll still find the beauty in everything And this will never change What we have is so damn wonderful It's something worth fighting for Ain't no other way to live No one said it would be easy But if you don't give up Any battle is already won, remember it!

Spinning flashing lights Sounds of screamers and fanfares Offering a chance To run away from a dead-end life Ladies and gentlemen Discover what's behind the curtain Come see us everyone Enjoy the madness Stage already set Cheers and laughter all around Tragedy the Clown Will paint his fake smile with tears and blood Let the freaks entertain you all A 15-month saga could not be enough Jokers saying: “Get the fuck on board!” Thirty-two souls laughing from the deep Get your tickets tonight Witness this wonder Let us give you delight With telegenic murders Get your tickets tonight We’ll make you cross the line Come in , come be amazed You won’t believe your ears or eyes This Show… This Show’s gonna last forever What could be more intriguing Than a mother playing a part Medea Mask on her face Hiding the truth from everyone The purity of a child suddenly dying away Get your tickets tonight Witness this wonder Let us give you delight With telegenic murders Get your tickets tonight We’ll make you cross the line Come in, come be amazed You won’t believe your ears or eyes You’ll see the rider struck to death You’ll watch his body sail through the air You’ll see him falling to the ground You’ll see him falling, falling again Now hold your breath At our young acrobats No safety net Just flying as one Sparks in the dark They’ll prove their innocence Their crimson love Will face the shadows This Show… This Show’s gonna last forever Wanna hear all the lies Wanna hear’em, you can’t deny Wanna come on the scene You will get all the answers you need Wanna hear all the lies Wanna hear’em, you can’t deny Wanna go deep inside Satisfy your obsessions Get your tickets tonight Witness this wonder Let us give you delight With telegenic murders Get your tickets tonight We’ll make you feel alive again Come in, come be amazed You’ll be the next to go on stage

The Desert's Still Waiting 06:19
lyrics
buy track
Oh graceful girl from a land in ruins The desert's still waiting to be adorned Of your tiny footsteps The cruelty of war took you from your fields of hope Before all your wishes could come true The look on their faces betrayed thoughts full of dirt His finger on yours made you tremble and freeze The horror came from the land of the free No parents there to protect you The bullets reached them before they could Never again Will you feel the warmth of your sister's hug The same old story of torture and slaughtering Written by those who should keep you safe Collateral damage, it' what they keep calling it What did you do to deserve this fate? Brave and strong Is that the way they proved their worth? By planning the assault on your little farmhouse? Brave and strong Is that the way they proved their worth? By leaving you without any chance of a future? Brave and strong Is that the way they proved their worth? By lacerating your dress and taking their turns Used against your will Another one subdued you and then another You were just 14 How could they commit this heinous crime? Brave and strong Is that the way they proved their worth? By drenching you with fuel and dropping a match Brave and strong Is that the way they proved their worth? By ravaging the peace they were meant to defend? Used against your will You were just 14
