1. Faceless
2. Beyond Borders Of Logic
3. Legacy Of A Cold Heart
4. Unconscious Minds
1. Faceless
Tell me the reason you're living this life
So superficial
Lack of identity wins in this fight
So prejudicial
Dead shadows dancing a meaningless dance
Trying to fit in
Slaves without master they're moving in trance
So empty within
Trying to reach you but you aren't there
A mask without a face to hide
Instead of a person there's only a stare
Just go with the flow
Your soul's cast aside
You live your life in lies
Stuck in your disguise
Live your life in vain
Sheltered in your own
Perfect world you've grown
But it can't remain
Don't try to tell me your life is for real
I see right through you
I will expose all that you can't conceal
Nothing you can do
You say you're trapped everything is your fault
Empty existence
You keep your true self inside your mind's vault
Life on a distance
Trying to reach you but you aren't there
A mask without a face to hide
Instead of a person there's only a stare
Just go with the flow
Your soul's cast aside
You live your life in lies
Stuck in your disguise
Live your life in vain
Sheltered in your own
Perfect world you've grown
But it can't remain
Step out of your hiding now
And lay down your fake disguise
of lies and try
to make life worthwile
Make up for those wasted years
You live your life in lies
Stuck in your disguise
Live your life in vain
Sheltered in your own
Perfect world you've grown
But it can't remain
2. Beyond Borders Of Logic
Inactivity in your head
Demons all over mine
Don't carry the weight of the dead
Empty your chalice, drink your wine
Struggling for my daily bread
I want to leave it all behind
The machinery cages echoes high in the sky
And I cry
Emotionally retarded strangers
They are repeating their lies
Another star is slowly dying
While strangers engaging their flight
…of life…
The flight goes on (and on and on)
Lying here unseen
My new life begins
Finally I got to see what it's all about
An empty metal cage, why am I alone
Endless open space, drifting in the unknown
I'm approaching borders of logic
Touching the aspects of time
Is this the end of all reason
Or a glimpse of the divine
What lies beyond the horizon
That isn't meant for our eyes
Between space and singularity
My mortality is the price
Spatial structure dissolving
My mind is set free
Inactivity in your head
I have freed my mind
No longer the weight of the dead
My soul now belongs to the divine
Now has happened what was said
So my future looks malign
The machinery cages echoes high in the sky
I never cry
Emotionally retarded strangers
They are repeating their lies
Another star is slowly dying
While strangers engaging their flight
…of life…
3. Legacy Of A Cold Heart
Father:
I'm walking in the cold midnight air
Not seeing people passing 'cause I don't care
I'm walking in the night, nightbirds fly
I see you in the rain I can see you cry
I never believed that we were one
And two parallell lines aren't meant to cross
I don't mind the cold as long as I'm cold
I don't mind that it's night when I'm not tired
Though I know I've hurt you I don't feel bad
'Cause everything I said I meant to say
Mother:
You came into my life one cold winter night
And everyday since then I've been holding you tight
What started out as real love has faded away
I know you want another life but I think you should stay
Cold lonesome nights
Aren't gonna keep me awake
My concern
Isn't for our sake
Narrator to father:
Your legacy to this world: Nothing but hate and fear
All you leave behind blackens this world that we live in
All you leave behind: Nothing but hate and fear
Society is blind. What goes around comes around...
Son:
I was left naked and alone
No one cared I was always on my own
If peaople fear me they know that I exist
Within these four walls I have to subsist, Yeah...
Cold lonesome nights
Aren't gonna keep me awake
My concern
is only for my sake
Narrator to father:
Your legacy to this world: Nothing but hate and fear
All you leave behind blackens this world that we live in
All you leave behind: Nothing but hate and fear
Society is blind. What goes around comes around...
...to you
Father:
I never believed that we were one
And two parallell lines aren't meant to cross
I don't mind the cold as long as I'm cold
I don't mind that it's night when I'm not tired
Though I know I've hurt you I don't feel bad
'Cause everything I said I meant to say
Oh, yeah!!
Narrator to father:
Your legacy to this world: Nothing but hate and fear
All you leave behind blackens this world that we live in
All you leave behind: Nothing but hate and fear
Society is blind. What goes around comes around...
Your legacy to this world: Nothing but hate and fear
All you leave behind blackens this world that we live in
All you leave behind: Nothing but hate and fear
Society is blind. What goes around comes around...
Son:
I'm walking in the cold midnight air
I'm thinking 'bout tha past what I can't repair
I'm walking in the sun, I'm still cold
I am still young but I'm feeling old
I killed a man just to get a fix
How was I supposed to know?
Narrator to Son:
When you were a child he did not bother
So how were you supposed to know?
On that tragic day you killed your father
How were you supposed to know?
4. Unconscious Minds
Dark has fallen
Nightbirds calling
He's wide awake
Thoughts that haunt him every night
Where did his dreams go
What's become of him
Born an artist
Always showed promise
Talent wrapped in mist
Now he's in a factory
Surrounded by machinery
His destiny has flown
Spirits born without thoughts controlled
Untamed minds but as they grow old
Society wears the young minds down
To work the coal mines as mindless moles
Endless lines of unconscious minds
Their hopes and ambitions they leave behind
Leaving nothing but hopeless drones
They do not dare make their lives their own
Clearest morning
Her voice is soaring
On her trip to work
Fading quick as she gets close
No one else hears her
Vocal cords of gold
Mother and father
Never even bothered
Humbled and smothered
Office landscape crushed her soul
Filing had her lose her goal
The dream she lived and breathed is now dead
Talents wasted to support the system
Tears our dreams until we fall into the heinous
Social grinder that makes robots of men
Machinery of bureaucracy that crushes
How much longer will we let them take life from us
Teachers, counselors and politicians haunt us
Give your art a shelter deep inside you
Integrate it with your heart and never fall into the
Endless lines of unconscious minds
Their hopes and ambitions they leave behind
Leaving nothing but hopeless drones
They do not dare make their lives their own
Sky is clouded
In raindrops shrouded
Mailbag round his neck
Stories running through his head
We'll never hear them
Locked inside his mind
Lived through his writing
His will subsiding
Downward winding
The grind of time has blocked his mind
Sleepless nights have left him blind
His muse is dead and gone
Spirits born without thoughts controlled
Untamed minds but as they grow old
Society wears the young minds down
To work the coal mines as mindless moles
Endless lines of unconscious minds
Their hopes and ambitions they leave behind
Leaving nothing but hopeless drones
They do not dare make their lives their own
