1. We Against Ourselves
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
Chemical ashes in the sky
But there is no sign of fire
Smoke spreading through the city
Radiation level is getting higher
Radioactivity
Stop watch T.V.
See that stack, what a shame
And nobody admits the blame
Industries, factories
Who gived a damn for their new machines?
The Government imposes penalties
No success, the disrespect goes on
“We use filters” – That’s what they say
But we are breathing something dirty and gray
Wheels burning
When we will learn?
See that stack, what a shame
And nobody admits the blame
Industries, factories
Who gives a fuck for their new machines?
Boilers Burning
When we will learn?
See that stack stack, what a shame
And nobody admits the blame
Industries, factories
Who gives a fuck for their new machines?
2. One Last Walk
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
Outside my window a city sleeps
What day is today? What time is it?
At least I know it’s night time
Neon flashes daze my sight
Something weird is in my mirror
I don’t recognize this bearded face
My hair wasn’t so long
And these red eyes are scaring me
How many times I’ve been here?
In this cold, wet room
Watching the sun disappear
Talking to the moon
Comic books lie on a chair
Empty bottles are all around
Scraps od pizza and donuts
And X-Rated videos on the ground
How many times I’ve been here?
In this cold, wet room
Watching the sun disappear
Talking to the moon
Suddenly, I remember all the reasons
For being so far away from it all
Better go downstairs
Now a hot breeze is blowing
And it makes me feel good
Maybe one last walk
Would help me to choose
3. Wake Up Your Mind
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
Living in a numb time
You’ll never arise
Deeper and deeper you fall
You feel so far away
Never ending days
Anesthesia starts it’s call
Time is running out
Awake – Wake up your mind
Don’t give up yourself
You’re dazed or something else
Building castles in sand
Depression and despair
No sound in the air
Sweat in your freezing hands
No more second chances
Awake – Wake up your mind
Darkness till infinity
Leading your destiny
As a strong light of fire
I guess I hear you say
“Please cut my wires”
“Please cut my wires”
Suffer, fear, the end is near
Awake – Wake up ou mind
Wake up!
4. Lack Of Opportunity
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
Five years in university
You know it was a fake
What have you learned?
What did they teach you?
What do you know?
Answer to me graduate
Life is difficult outside
They recquire experience
What will you do?
What will you ask?
What will you say?
You don’t have any chance
You complain now it’s too late
You failed, admit it to me
Never mind, at least you can blame
Your lack of opportunity
Studying all night and day
You lost part of your youth
Just theory, show it to me
And I’ll show a big shit,
You must face the truth.
What are your knowledge for?
Why so much sacrifice?
You don’t understand,
They don’t give a damn
Your labour was in vain,
Where you gonna lay your spite?
You complain now it’s too late
You failed, admit it to me
Never mind, at least you can blame
Your lack of oportunity
5. Incognito
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
In a rush hour I’m in the crowd
I’m just another simple man
Hidden in this city, walking around
In a rush hour another day has gone
Another way to change my life
So many things I left undone
No – I can’t stand it
The height of the world all over me
No – I can’t stand it, I can’t fell it
I’d rather be Incognito
I’m the one who stands looking at nowhere
Looking for and answer there
To help my soul and set my mind free
I’m the one who stands trying to survive
Trying to write these rhymes
And ease this pain wich burns inside of me
No – I can’t stand it
This fucking responsability
No – I can’t stand it, I can’t fell it
I’d rather be Incognito
Time has come to find
A new idea, a new solution
One revolution, to break my walls
And put me on a track
Time has come to find
An end to his song
And end to false friends
And to everyone who tries
To put a knife in my back!
6. Soul Splinters
Lyrics: Ico Almendra
Music: Avalon
Dusty childhood dreams
Lost through the years
Trying to come back
With my old fears
Yesterday I stirred my memories
They were like old toys in a chest
Like Nightmares playing hide’n’seek
But now I’ll try to do my best
Broken dreams beg for revenge
Wasted time asks a new chance
Dusty childhood dreams
Lost through the years
Trying to come back
With my old fears
I took the book of my existence
It had yellow fretted pages
I read all passages aloud
But the details were lost through the ages
Behind the curtain of the past
Voices and images will everlast
Dusty childhood dreams
Lost through the years
Trying to come back
With my old fears
7. Off The Rails
8. Horror Life Circus
9. When I Saw You Dead
10. Oblivion
11. Fear Machines
12. Sinchronicity II
