3. The Caveman's Torch
4. Tralfamadorian Dome
1. Operation I.N.R.I.
We don't know where we are
We don't know when we are
We came from the future, to kill was our task
Now we are stranded here in the past
We came to fight for him, to kill without a sound
The enemy was faster, that's why we ran aground
Jerusalem - where it all began
Revolution came, caused by this man
He brought us freedom, love was his aim
Though he wanted peace, we fought in his name
Victimized - In the name of mankind
Forgive me for what I'll do
Lost in time - Prepare the urn
An utter crime - In hell I'll burn
Emotional hell for a man like me
No one knows the pain I feel
He is the son of God, but I must change his fate
It's suffocating me, I know it's not too late
Victimized - In the name of mankind
Forgive me for what I've done
Victimized - For thirty silver coins
Stigmatized - My soul is lost
Lost in time - Prepare the urn
An utter crime - In hell I'll burn
We're lost in time - Prepare the urn
An utter crime - In hell I'll burn
2. Mind vs. Me
"Hello again, dear Saviour, where have you been?"
"My child, wake up, an ordeal will be cast upon you!"
"Oh no, my God, my faith in you wavered not even once!"
"My friend, I know, but this spell is breeding in you!"
"So let the shadows embrace me
So let the dreams become reality"
Refrain:
"Walls have opened to freedom
But my mind still suffers from youth (a better time?)
It builds its own temple
So that it can worship the fearless god (ego god)
I'm suffocating in shyness
While the world outside turns on (and on and on)
Mind versus me is the name of the
Game that's killing me (soul monopoly)"
"Wounds have turned to scars, but they are disfiguring my face.
Never again shall I walk upon this earth with her."
"My child, I'm so sorry, but the soul cartel deceived me.
I'll never find peace of mind until I eased my guilt!"
"So let the tears be swallowed
So let the dreams become reality"
Refrain
"So let me taste your redemption
So let the dreams become reality"
Refrain
In solitude our child walks the earth,
Somnambulist in disguise!
Darkened eyes, a blackened soul
Drifts away from reality
3. The Caveman's Torch
You act as if science's just a game for fools
But you're not according to the rules
You're dealing with forces larger than life
Now the legions of miseries arrive
Refrain:
And with a new millennium
You'll no longer be able
To tame the forces you've unleashed
With your caveman's torch
Technology is celebrating
Our Dependence Day ... our Dependence Day
You live in your world of bits and bytes
But the day's not far when you'll realize
That there's something called sun and moon out there
But when you'll look up a red aureole they'll wear ...
Refrain
4. Tralfamadorian Dome
