1. Wanting Seed
THE WANTING SEED
Reality show
With some good reasons to die
Emotional void fills the human ruins that you find
What you expect
Is not what you see
Shadow of threat has darkened the light in your mind
They blind us with colors
Feed us with lies
Their kingdom of heaven’s falling down from the red skies
Who’s got the power of choosing
one truth that is worth to be seen?
Who’s trading the history for what could have been?
Enthroned by doctrines of fear, raging silence
To your rhythm we’re marching through time
Dark is the guide as we’re hiding
From flames when they’re feeding the sparks
Nothing left to say
From behind closed doors
Waiting for something or someone to call the enemy
There’s no way out
From this killing spree
Freedom’s exploding in bondage of brutality
In this life
Why am I here?
How can I fight this dark?
Death is near
No man’s land is near
Slave to the fear, end is near
2. Sanity Embraces
Now, after all tears were drowned
Can we cease the cry and hide our pain
When we see wall is down
Into depths of blue skies
Shall we rise again?
Night – bring the darkness we’re living in
Cover ghosts praying for their sins
Do you still bleed
For the moments you can’t forget
Memories your heart won’t regret
There’s nothing left to burn
In these ruins I store
All that we have learnt
Is not to hope anymore
Who heals the man I am
Who sees the state that I’m in
Who’ll give the helping hand
Before I’ll get to give in
Here I am, as I’m trying to understand
All the fears deep inside but still
The world I see is the world I’ve got to leave
I sail far away into the arms of night...
With all reasons why we carry on
All the feelings we let go
We’ll be dying all alone
So join the show
The Sun we found is dead and gone
And tears can not be drowned
Watch us burning down the world
With burning love
Stay with me, last days of sanity
I know that after all I will
Surrender to my gods of second chance
And safe I will fall into the arms of night...
Shall I give it to them all
What have they given to me
The world’s betrayed and sold
Blinded we’ve got to be free
I pump it to the vein
To make this whole life in vain
What had been lost is found
In the edge of my brain
Every time we hurt for truth that we never knew
Every time we face all fears that are coming true
Every time I die I know my pain is the clue
Every time we cry for things that we never did
Burning in the heat of fires we never lit
I close my weary eyes but again I find you
Hear me, Feel me, Heal me, for this pain is so true
See me, Believe me
I think the time has come to start something new
3. This Integration
Feeling strong
Everyday the wheels keep turnin’ on
Know, you’ve got to know
You’re born to fly but you live to crawl
Going wrong
Towards the new age prophecy
As life becomes
Disintegration of your soul
Bleed some more
So you know you still can feel the pain
Deep inside your mind
Isolate you best you can
When I turn my eyes to heaven
(I) fear it might be too late
To realize this world is spinning
Faster than we can take
Engines of flesh keep flowing
Artificial blood into the hearts of stone
Soul’s strugglin’ to survive
In rotting cage of the machine
Dying for
Another lost and lonely night
As we become
The worst enemy of mankind
All that’s born human dies
As non payable price to society
Welcome my friend and take your
Part in the regime
4. Wish You Could Save Me (Unfinished Dreams part I.)
Cast in the stream with no other side
Loss in the meaningless fight’s
What we get as the waves are pretending
Cold is the wind when tears filled the eyes
Time stands when the miracle dies
And life finds its answer in waiting
Lost, we commit our wishes to sand
Leaving faith in signs that mark end
To the future that we were creating
Would you come back if you could save me?
Show the way out and try to change me
Dig up my bones and rearrange my life
Strugglin’ so hard to find a reason
All is betrayed but there’s no treason
What this heart needs is just a tear of blood
(And) with all its weight the world keeps turning
See the light of my castles burning down
Losing all the time but we’re never learning
We just take the chains and lay deep in the ground
[Nothing’s meant to last forever
Kill inside what dares to matter]
Dream seems to be over
And we’re knowing what we know – the pain
Would we turn back years
If we could let them go – again
Whispering the secrets
That your life has never told before
Night is growing darker
And you wonder what the day’s good for
Walk alone into dark of this night
Scarred of what I find inside
While ghost of fears to come’s taking
His chance, as he’s claiming our tiny minds
To deepen the dividing lines
The light beyond is fading
Cast in the stream with no other side
Is loss in the meaningless fight
All we get as the rainbow’s pretending?
Is this the ocean that will wash all of my sins away
Along with feelings that were never really meant to stay
Time heals the pain
While we waste away
And you never know
As you’re falling with your mind into the ever flow
Night’s stealing the horizon
And you close your eyes and pray
Is this the ocean that will wash all of my sins away
Looking for the stars
We can’t keep the dust from falling
Is this all the pain that we can take
Pushin’ it too far
Never heard a distant calling
Who would ever thought a stone can break
You find you’ve got nowhere to turn to
[So let me die]
You’re the wind that will never blow
[So let me bleed]
You find out that you are all alone
[I’m tired of my own company]
All the time you look but never see
[So let me pass]
Everything that has come and gone
[So let me sleep]
All the feelings lost before they’re born
[Just pretend I have found my peace]
5. Castaway
I’m the grave for all that I feel
All that I used to be
In broken mirror I’ll hardly believe
The love that I see is real
Castaway among billion of souls
Alone with no hope in this place
Guarding the memories of ghosts that I am
I disappear without a trace
Can I wait for the day when we’ll sail to the light
Like a child who awakes to the bright of the sun
I’ll finally understand answers you hide
And fears of tomorrows that might never come
Of betrayals from dreams that are lost inside me
I won’t fight the dark rivers of time anymore
I’m walking through these nights all alone
Mending fractures of my faith
In darkness I wonder if stars are still there
When clouds obscure light that I wait
I cast away among these wasted years
Abandoned no hope in this place
Guarding the beliefs of ghosts that I am
I disappear without a trace
All the time we want to make it real but still we go
Waiting that our hope somehow will heal we never know
Maybe the time has come
Some distant moonless night long ago
Circumstances always mold
Here we are, keep pleading for a chance as life goes on
Wasting time till’ death will gently dance into the show
Who tells me when to run
Who tears the paper sun from the skies
That I painted on my own
6. A Different Place
Time, it is killing all we see
So why are we still too proud to be
True to the world that we live in
We run trough the dungeons we were born into
Since the empires of wisdom it is nothing new
But we just like to be bleeding
Hold on to the twisted forms of existence
Epistemic revolution dies in a distance
All that we find is growing inside
Consciousness rising from the dust of our pride
All that we’ve made, it degenerates
All we’ve created is burning down in the flames of lost chances
Do you still think it’s worth dying for your land
(Your life is more)
More than a number under their command
(But who will pray)
Pray on your grave when it’s over
Realize it is not just a sinless game
To be killing on order
Sleeping well in a sound of war
So why should we stop it when we want more
Relax and turn on your TV
The place of the difference is always the same
We’re filling the abyss with our fear and pain
No escape that could free me
We hold on to the twisted forms of existence
Will epistemic revolution come from a distance?
7. Goodbye To All That
Safe good-bye instead of something new
We swallow words like “I need you”
But the time keeps circling, one day we will understand
It’s good-bye to all that
Why are you still hiding from the sun?
Can we spend the whole life on the run?
Running from regrets of thoughts we left unsaid
Just saying good-bye to all that
And I know, know that I’m losing
Something I believed I could find
Like a joke in a play that’s all about brooding
Who’s to give me just one more try?
Over the drowning water I see
Shadow of man, could it be me?
He’s washing dreamtime tears that we need so bad
When we say good-bye to all that
“So you lay to rest forever, oh my tired heart
The last illusion’s over now
How I prayed it could last for all my life
But I know they are gone
All the sweet lies in me”
Last good-bye instead of something new
Still swallowing words we never knew
Much closer to the pain of thoughts we left unsaid
Remains only good-bye to all that
“And so you lay to rest forever, oh my tired heart
The last illusion’s over now
I believed that it could last for all my life
But I feel that it’s gone...
So you lay to rest forever, oh my tired heart
The last illusion’s over now
How I prayed it could last for all my life
But I know they are gone All the sweet lies in me”
8. Letters In the Sand (Unfinished Dreams part II.)
There’s a ghost in my head that I just won’t believe
Yes I am here and I’m not gonna leave
It comes every night, reveals secrets so sad
I am the king of all things never had
Hold me
Why do I dream nothing what’s meant to be
Pain of a mortal is morphine for me
Who is this creature that lurks in my sleep
Show me, Set me free
Am I trapped?
Between the end and no beginning
In the ever flowing circle of lost faith
And does the circle have its meaning
I can understand…
Will we come to some conclusion?
Or the outcome of this equation is death
Is the truth only illusion, a gap between what I am…
And what I used to be
You don’t understand me as I’m dying on bottom
Of sea that I have sailed so far
There’s no one to save me but voice in my head
That keeps tellin’ in years I will drown
In the cold of these nights
While past devours rest of my life
We’re living for the future that we will never see
Is hope anything else than drug killing all
Ghost of fears to come, nothing more
And is in this darkness a message for me
In the shadow of nothing there’s nothing you see
Is this just warning or it’s what’s goin’ to be
Tell me, who can see
How the stars turned to black again
Hold on, how long
Can you say world is in your hands
(Like a flame in the pouring rain)
What’s wrong, my son
Won’t you understand, there is no helping hand…
You just can not win
Who could let it go
Without lights you run the show
Now all you want to know is the meaning
All I need tonight
Is to feel this way is right
I want to rise and fly but I’m still bleeding…
Maybe it’s time for you to know
Life is the art of letting go
And in the morning light you can’t fight that
Still you’re all alone…
Finally I’ve found what’s at stake
Sea erases every letter written in the sand
How long can we wait for twist of fate
How long can we wait for the end of us all
9. Dividing Lines (epilogue)
And so we’re coming closer to the end…
Another day’s been lost in darkness
Another night was bled away
And though I know no heart is scarless
I guess that nothing’s really changed
And the pain is not a moment
Sometimes time it just won’t heal
When a soul is crying for help
No one’s there who seems to hear
Who could have known that my feelings meant nothing in deed
By flames of a dream it has always been painful to read
It’s hard to see beyond tomorrow
When we can’t look at yesterday
All at once it seems too hollow
To move on in any way
So I close my eyes in silence
I lay down with heart open wide
Maybe blue will turn to violet
Maybe there’s someone by my side
Who could have thought that one day I would drown in this stream
In shadow of silence it has always been painful to scream
In cold emptiness of nothing to hold on
We’re still guarding on our dividing lines
Keep pretending here that nothing has gone wrong
When the moonlight’s bleeding down from the sky
Through branches of this dead old tree…
I don’t want to hide anymore, don’t want to runaway from what I feel
But still I’m here so free and alone in open cage with broken wings
I hear them saying over again, there is no love without any pain
But will someone explain me why there must be pain when there’s no love
How can we justify life without answers why here
We burn in the afterglow of loss that we’re starting to feel
How can we justify love that has no more to give
With unfinished dreams maybe still there’s a reason to live…
