1. Information Feed
Flashing images of violence and murder
All in the name of cemmercialism
Reporting about violence,leisure and weather
Without changing the tone of their voice
They've constructed an iformation feed
A feed unable to avoid, it's everywhere
The news value is measured on a sensational scale
To accommodate their economic prosperity
I wipe away my eyes, not willing to see
Not wanting to understand
At least to stop is entering my mind
Entering my mind
In times of infromation draught
Fabricated of exaggerated stories
And lied fills your transculent pages
A struggle for further economic prosperity
Yet the blame is ours
You're an unavoidable instance of our society
You're just a consequence of our curiosity
Profiting on an information-feed gone berserk
I wipe away my eyes, not willing to see
Unable to escape the sights
Casting horrid shadows in my mind
Shadows in my mind
2. Epitaph
I've seen your hearts - I'be seen your mind
Within your presence I go blind
I've seen your souls - I've seen your cries
Eye for an eye and I hope to die
I've seen your emblems - I've seen your signs
I've seen your passios, cross over lines
I've seen your fears - I've seen your hate
In blissful ignorance you seal your fate
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, oh, I just don't get it
Can you explain, is this what's sane?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?
I've seen your hunger - I've seen your lust
I've seen blood and guts - I'm so disgusted
I've seen your hopes - I've seen your dreams
Refine malice, they're worse than greed
I've seen your heroes - I've seen your foes
You're all enslaved. ... ... so
I've seen your present repeat your past
I see no future, nothing learned, nothing lasts!
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds? Don't know why, but I just don't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?
I'll make you plead
Oh, what's in your mind?
How can you smile?
Is it your lack or remorse?
Or your will to perish?
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, ùaybe it's me cause I just can't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?
Oh no no, I'll make you plead
3. Catatonic
A wave of blight consume the mind
A muck attempt to escape the blind
Screams of despair rend the frightened skies
Menacing frontier we praise the apprise
Numbening place
Frightening space
Escape gone
Imprisoned one
The will is shackling
Willingness numbening
An empty warble - a futile cry
Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in
The abscond a concept precluding
Will crumbling, paralyzing frontier
No screams shall meet the posterior heir
Inhibition in my mind
World reluctant, the body vile
Only the carrion will prevail
The end is here
The mind will fail
Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down

5. The Perpetual Grey
The seasons ling for each other
In order that they may
Be cured of the excesses
And the continuum will proceed
Winter longs for the promise of change
Spring hungers for fulfilling it's promise
Summer sweat for fall to quench it's heat
Fall exhausts toward the descant into winter
Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave
But when the hunger dissipates
The sweat dries out
The promise of spring remains unfulfilled
Then the fall is everlasting
No promise of spring shall ever come
The eternal fall from where
We shall never escape has arrived
Perpetual and everlasting grey
Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave
The seasons ling for each other
In order that they may
Be cured of the excesses
And the continuum will proceed
Winter longs for the promise of change
Spring hungers for fulfilling it's promise
Summer sweat for fall to quench it's heat
Fall exhausts toward the descant into winter
Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave
6. Chronolies
Continuance - a stale dream
History brought to its knees
Clockwork falsified
Illusional piece of time
Age in ignorance
Intervals make believe
Present for all eternity
A moment without a past
No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins
Moment last forever
Lifetime for infinity
Kingdom never comes
Non-dimensional chronology
No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins
No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins
No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins
Ends where it begins
7. Tin Winged Angel
I see a presence of meekness in the horizon
Coming closer I feel the eyes on
Me are grim and possessive torches
Lightening and encircling forces
Remorseful, filled with anxiety
Unwilling to see the inevitably
Omissioned mind oh so blind
With fear of separation you bind
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed
With gluttonous envy you feed
Upon your liars chair you bleed
Envy your malicious deeds
Frail and hollow you crumble at my feet
Attributing the frailty to everyone you meet
Unable and unwilling to make commence
Forcing your frailty on everyone else
Repent or be forever in debt
Unworthy tears you have wept
Hark to the chant of the contempt
Embodied in flesh this is the end
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed
With gluttonous envy you feed
Upon your liars chair you bleed
Envy your malicious deeds
The blind will bleed
The blind will bleed
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed
With gluttonous envy you feed
Upon your liars chair you bleed
Envy your malicious creeds
8. A passion for Hate
Want to tell you I hate you
But i'm not sure if I care
Just want to turn away
And never look back
Worn out - close to insanity
So your leisure is killing you?
Well keep on ignoring reality
And life will pass you by
Draining my soul, it fades away
Turning me into something else
Starving us both, there is no end
Draining my soul, it fades away
Just wanna say I told you so
But it really doesn't say enough
Just keep on screening reality
With your malignant blind spots
Draining my soul, it fades away
Turning me into something else
Starving us both, there is no end
Draining my soul, it fades away
Drain my soul, it's very faint
Turned me into the fountain of hate
Killing us both, there is my end
Drain my soul, it's very faint
9. Crown of Might
On a pedestral built on
The back of others
A marionette rules
Irreproachable and inviolable
The base of power inherited
Unequal and unjust
Remnants from a bygone past
Still supported by the backs of others
Nepotism is absurdum
Living on merits long gone
Might and influence
From a feudal society bygone
Nepotism is absurdum
Living on merits long gone
Might and influence
Gone since long
An undeserved respect
And obedience from their subjects
Originating from oppression and cohesion
Realize that they're obsolete figures
They're hindering our progress
Let's evolve from
These remnants and move on
