1. Echoes
Empty men without regrets
Leaning against each others shoulders
Open spaces fill the gap
Where reason reigned and fell
And I see vapour coming out
Of every crack in the framework
Caught in a vortex between false
Perceptions and reality
Forever
Dead frequencies kill the intellect
And truths that only raindrops see
Frail bodies out in the periphery
Walk like ghosts across the screen
It begins again
2. Vague Illusions
Awoke in a fever, a feeling that's never been here before
Staring at these walls knowing you're right outside the door
See through me, point your words and make me shiver
This time I know we will go down trying to reconcile
Waiting here for you to save me
Stranded here with my vague illusions and broken dreams
One more time around so degraded
Running in circles these days of endless guilt
There were reasons
There were moments
Reach to me and lead me astray
As the night breathes out the harsh and cold morning
A smoke screen has surrounded the funeral mourners
They march in the wake of broken promises
This time they know we all fall into the rhythm so slow
3. Leave Me Here
Out of a secret longing
They know their way from here
Out of a growing dream
They follow the road we create
I see what I've cut behind me
Lost on the bottom you often found me there
False conscience is beyond me
Lost in the backwoods I lie open to you here
Just leave me here
These men are running hard
But you keep down your voices
Living only to judge heavy
All mysteries aside there was a truth outside
Leave me here and I'm born again
Leave me here in this void again
Now I am open left for dead
Just like salvation comes in the end
4. Waiting for You
I am praying for the raging flood
I am waiting for you to come
5. Adrift
In his arms, locked in that iron grip nothing will reveal
Follow these footsteps and we will reach the bottom
I tumbled down the road that bears his name
Here he dwells, here he prospers and pushes us towards the end
When we are drifting against the tide
Colliding with the very air we breathe
Somewhere the tracks inwards must lead out
A grasp of hope that defeats the will
Always pushed away
Always nothing
6. White Cell
Where is the rain that purifies and retaliates?
Where is the one I begged for strength to carry on?
Speak to me, I have followed through.
Deliver me from guilt. Take me home
To the source of white light I offer my place.
My sacrifice for its life.
The guilt that stains me vanishes on the other side.
Where is the rain that purifies and retaliates?
Where is the one I begged for strength to carry on?
Walking along the river's flow.
A journey away from original sin.
You and I merge, we become one.
7. Crossing Over
Traces in snow
A red line grows through and leads me below
Nothing on this side ties me
One step, one glimpse of an eye
One moment can change everything
Wait here 'til my words spread across the sky
And into the chambers of every soul
8. Into the Beyond
Let me take you down, underneath this false surface
Tonight is the night when we travel into the heart of the unknown
Night reveals what is hidden in the shadows
What you see is just a shell of me
To escape the suffering we keep our emotions at a distance
So far away that our skin becomes our fortress
Leave with me and you'll see what lies ahead
Let's gather in twilight
In those blue reflections
We are coming out as one
That is when we arrive
That is when we realize
This is when we fall down
