1. Warp Zone
Suffering screams fading away
Burried are the scars of agony
Forgotten decades of drying tears
Still, I'm unceasingly dying
Under the staring eyes of the outraged
I leave for a higher level of existence
Hope for a translucid conscience
Obsesses my ignorance
No more demons to exorcise
Never will they materialize
There's just one wish that I implore for
But I can't afford it anymore.
I loathe your realm of glory and fame
In a world so restrained, life's a pity
I leave this world without regrets
Without the pain, I should forget
Warp zone
2. Virtual Emotions
You think you're sophisticated
You're only scratching my surface
You can barely reach the bottom
Which is the highest you can go
You think you can manipulate me
That's what I want you to believe
Those emotions which you think are yours
Are born from your imagination
What you feel is not real
Virtual emotions
What you feel isn't real
Virtual emotions
Suffering makes me live
I want to feel the pain
Pulsating through the deepest part of me
For as long as it takes
These wounds without scars
Which you inflict upon me
Only feed me, your nemesis
The world you have created
The roles which you play
Make me balieve they're much too real
They seem much too real
Your whole life is but an illusion
Don't try to blame anyone at all
This great illusion you dare call life
Will disappear with you
You will realize your monumental mistake
But it will be too late
3. Endless Vortex Towards Erasing Destiny
Tear me out of this
Forever lost world
Between time and space
Tear me out of these
Realms where life's
Eternal for those
Who seize it
Surrounded by lost souls
Paralyzed existence
For those whose
Life is a failure
Who are a failure to life
Endless vortex
Towards erasing destiny
Endless vortex
Erasing my destiny
The flame died away
Where am I here and now ?
Why was I not
And never will ?
4. Deserted Waters
Acid rain can't dissolve
The stains which were left by the flood of tears
Foaming sea of rage can't erode
This heart of stone frozen by fear
Frail skiff !
Without a course already traced
Drowning with haste !
Frail skiff without a crew
Sinking to my rescue !
Lighthouses can't be seen
Fog-horns can't be heard
Deserted waters
By the tiny frail skiff
Diving at its own risk
Deserted waters
Leaving the anchor behind
Adrift goes my mind
Deserted waters
Scattered slowly, agonizing
Time kills time
The skiff ran onto
The reef of my memory
Hoisting the yellow flag
I stem the tide of my past
In this imminent wreckage
I despair for salvation
Am I destined to an unconscious scuttling ?
My soul now a soaked up desert land
Pulled out from my deepest torments
Submerged in my own torrents
Lurking in my own wake
I am my own stowaway
5. Carpe Diem
The past trespasses
When now settles in
Ephemeral experiences
Fleeting memories
Sacrificing a part of your life
Hungry packs of illusions
No one will grieve or shed a tear
For stolen destinies
Forsaken
Regrets are your life's bitter legacy
Carpe Diem
Your life is yours to create
Carpe Diem
So leave the past behind
Hope for a second chance
Forever haunting you
Time beyond reclaim
Wasted in the past
Living beside your virtual life
Ad Vitam Aeternam
6. The Fortune-Teller
In the fountain of youth you will drown
Envy will make you sink like a stone
Damned temptations to remain on a throne
Belong to those who are forever gone
It's all just a question of perception
And questions don't always yeld solutions
Stop asking how, when, where and why
For the answer will never come
You think you'll survive? Do you realize ?
You won't come out alive. Rise above the skies
And then you will dive. Won't you die, so I can too?
You won't live to see the day
When you know it all
No matter how old you are
Tell me why? Tell me how?
Tell me, oh please tell me
Tell me lies
So you wanted lies. Look into my eyes
I will make you cry. You don't realize
Follow my advice. You will not survive
Let go of me!
Eternity's too long for me
No matter how far you explore
The universe, you'll never find more
And you could pray your life away
No one seems to hear you anyway
7. Speechless
Who are you to judge me ?
You're worse than I could ever be
Who are you to condemn me ?
- Farther than your eyes, you can't see
Behold the hammer of corruption
Mischief and treachery
Behold the unfair struggle
- Wealth always saves the loser
How far will you go to crush all the ants?
How far will you go to reach the giants?
- I won't cross this line you once fled
- I won't cross this line you've just stamped
You let your flaws dictate your laws
Sentencing is your role corrupted is your soul
No one to blame, you played the game
Don't come to claim the souls you stained
Judge me not, as you don't understand my way
- Law equals justice, for those who conspired it
Judge me not, every word is a shade of grey
- Law equals justice and freedom is but a lie
Crying over my faith I will not hate
Only in the realms of reverie
- Lies the ever seeked verity
Is life a quest for glory where I proclaimed you the king ?
"Life must be nice for the usurper..."
- Last thoughts of the innocent
8. Retry? Abort? Ignore?
Parasites intrusions
Virulent Infections
Abnormal reactions
Fatal error, Disconnection
Overwriting process
Formating in progress
Deleting the data
Neuron after neuron
Retry? Abort? Ignore? (2x)
Rebuild, restore the life I hacked
Reboot, Restart the life I asked
Remove the crust
Remove the rust
Remove the mask
Forget the past
Remove the mask, Remove the dust, Forget the past
Ravaged is the cortex
Panicked and distressed
Instinctive reflex
Sudden urge to forget
Illegal operations
Illogical solutions
Existential problems
Shutting down the system
9. Realms of Reverie
Part I
I am the eye that watches
The masses from a distance
Their movements trouble me
And makes me ill at ease
Jealous, frightened, motionless
Interaction paralyzes me
Fleeing the predator's enticing gaze
I have become the prey
Part II
Far in the distance
Another Utopia's rising
The future is recovering
From its passed fall from grace
A stone's throw from the source
Of truth and life I am dying
And this virgin oasis
Fears the day when it will run dry
Far in the distance, I see
Don't leave
Delusory dreams
Let me through
