1. Facade Of Reality
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
Macula aeterintatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates ?
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill
Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich themselves
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter thet you cry
We'll take you with us
A disgrace on the beyond
O servator, sempiterne
Te grati coluimus, Odor atrox quo nons superfundis intolerabilis est
Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without diasdaon
A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Facade of Reality?
Is tere still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be ondone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
2. Sensorium
Chance doesn't exist
But the path of life is totally so predestined
And time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here
Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end
No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this
That which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear
I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond
3. Illusive Consensus
So sweet caress, never long to last!
You entered my soul and gave hope to my life.
So sweet caress, never hope to last!
You left me behind all alone and aghast
Capured inside such an austere Elysium
Imperfect feelings, futile greef
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real
So sweet caress, never long to last!
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate!
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry
Primo somniare videbamur
deinde veritas se praecipitavit
I secretly longed for something
which had never existed
First I thought it was a dream
but then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within
I secretly longed for something
which had never existed
Devoted to a body without a soul
Numquam non tibi diffidam
4. Cry For The Moon
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the hole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
5. The Phantom Agony
I can't see you, I can't hear you
Do you still exist?
I cn't feel you, I can't touch you,
Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony
I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
Do we exist at all?
[II. Between hope and despair]
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the persen wandering in my dreams
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all sadists
The age-old development of conciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learsn or do we forget everything?
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all pessimists
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony
[III. Nevermore]
The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realisation
This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream...
6. Seif Al Din
The origin of a dogma
Placed in a new millennium
Vilified demons have been embraced
And given a warm welcome
The Seif al Din
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust
Because it has always been kept in shape
In serving th one Almighty
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their
advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power
over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent
men carried away by nurtured rancour...
Perpetual distrust fed by a belief
In the malevolence of the others
When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith
La Illah Illallah, Mohammed rasul Allah
7. Feint (Acoustic)
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
An untuched snow turns red
Innocence dies
This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
And nothing seems in life,
in dreams like what was meant to be
8. Run for A Fall (Acoustic)
Do not use the pas as an alibi
For all of your deficiencies always standing by
Face your negligence, do not fool yourself
Shortcomings will soon appear
For weakness shows itself
Blind from your success and all of the excess
Deaf from the praise you had
Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through
For I will not be vunnerable to slander made by you
In a misty veil, misplaced
Where castles in the air will be no longer seen
As something out of reach
In time the dream will be erased
So many things will never be the way they seemed
And pride will have it's fall at last
Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face
When she realised that her failures
could never be undone again
You did not notice the manipulated hand
That overshadowed your thoughts all those years
That made you insecure
You did not notice the ancient shifting sand
That pulls you down into an everlasting sham
You will never be able to fight
Never be able to hide
Run for a fall, you'd better run
9. Memory (Acoustic) (From the Musical "Cats")
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn’t give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
