1. Failure of Utopia
FAILURE OF UTOPIA
Solemn reflections of glorious past
Legends and dreams, hope lives on forever
The giant has fallen, we walk on the shards
From riots and street battles arises new order
I am the anger of dirty suburbs
I am a digest story to tell
Sword over heads of political turncoats
I'm that hated visage of anarchist hell
Utopia falling... into decay
Utopia falling... into disarray
Veiled uncertainty screams from the screen
Mass hysteria prevails undefeated
Their brave new world has vanished unseen
The cycle of conspiracy is now complete
I am the image of rotten salvation
I am the freedom, your treacherous prize
I'm the blindfolded unseen revelation
I am the blood of nuclear Christ
Utopia falling... into decay
Utopia falling... into disarray
2. Within the Darkness
WITHIN THE DARKNESS
You stare into the darkness
And darkness stares back at you
You walk the path of good intentions
Surprised when you arrive in hell
Manipulative and seductive
The ends justify any means
Confronted by your victims
What would be your excuse?
Fighting monsters until they are in control
...so this fight is mine to choose
Fooling no one you think all that glitters is gold
...still I know I'm never gonna lose
Staring at the visage of anger you're turning to rage
...and my tragedy is left unknown
Standing with your back to the wall you're closing your cage
...this is where I belong
3. Requiem (instrumental)
4. Passion
PASSION
When the truth got you straight between the eyes
The light you thought to share destroyed you with your prize
The crown of thorns ensnared you, feeding of your blood
And path of lost caress enslaved you to your god
I drink the waters of Lethe
In death I understand
All for a scarlet passion
All for a senseless end
But by the sands of time you crawl
Your wings cut down, and then you fall
The lonely song of your demise
In vain as you were sacrificed
When your promise caught you by the string of lies
Your words were twisted by the fools in wisdom's guise
You justified their hatred, there is no respite
All for a senseless passion, remedy denied
5. Terminus
TERMINUS
Repentance, forlorn
Reborn through violence
Torture overwhelms
Self-imposed insanity
In human form, this flesh
Lesson of decadence
Inside the haunted cells
Genetic alteration
Abomination
Terminus
Line in the ashes is drawn
Terminus
Time to reap the scorn
Feast on the dead souls
In the margin of profit
Headless
Sightless
I live on
6. Sky Falls Down
SKY FALLS DOWN
How many more times can I peel the layer of lies
Just to find another deception hidden beneath your clouded eyes
One word short of promise, like a vulture you prey
Fleeing smoke is worth more than anything you've got to say
Still I'm holding on to the pillars of hope
Standing inside the fire
Now the molten remains are floating down
Your fate and mine
Sky falls down
See its azure purity as it crumbles beneath your feet
Sky falls down
Bear witness to Atlas's defeat
And so you are playing the victim, the advantage, advantage is yours
You're walking in circles, never retreating, you don't leave me much choice
Your drug is my suffering and you're craving, you're craving for more
Feeding on pity you will never let go
