1. The Brain Dance
2. Walls Of Society
Lost behind the walls of society
You close your eyes in front of him
He’s searching for the key of knowledge
To free you from your... prejudices
In the depths of his world, he hopes to
Find the truth of your soul
He knows you think he’s crazy
But he’s sure he’s going the right way
Questions without frontiers
Living in another world
Kingdom without answers
He knows he’s lonely
He’s a man with a child’s mind
Lost behind the walls of society
Your whispers scream inside
Excluded by your pointing finger, set apart
Get him out of his solitude
He wants to reach reality
But he sees you keep it far from him
He knows who you are
And who he is...
Lost behind the walls of society
You close your eyes in front of him
He’s searching for the key of knowledge
To free you from your... prejudices
Imagination faithful friend
Smiles are walls of ignorance
Dreams, retreat from your lies
So far from you he stays alone
3. Stratosphere
Torn pages in a weary book
Chapters of a whole life lost
Pictures of your sons in a whirlpool
Sinking into your delirium
Holding tight Morpheus’ hand
In the abyss, pain you might escape
Panting nightmares, burning lungs
In the dark october air
This stranger is your own flesh...
I alone, alcoholic scents
God, Devil, good, evil, were in your hands
I alone
Holding the weight of your confidence
A deathbed awaking promises
Of proud rewards in magazines
Wailing walls ‘round an orphan heart
“Please turn off this useless machine!!!”
A priest is praising stupid hymns
As memories are rolling down their cheeks
In the child’s head, the one he loved
Has been kidnapped by a selfish Christ
Kidnapped by a selfish Christ...
I alone, alcoholic scents
God, Devil, good, evil, were in your hands
I alone
Holding the weight of your confidence
Gone’s the guide’s hand, the cozy shelter
Strangled angel in the stratosphere
Panic in a crowd of prophets
Tell me which voice I should listen to
Huddled answers in my head
Justice flirting with corruption
Gratuities in the parliament
To erase footprints you left behind...
4. Broken Dreams
If time had spoken to let us know
You would be leaving us soon
We would have been your angels
But time has called you now
Our circle is broken
You dreamed of a world of freedom
Your heart could see in blinded eyes
What stayed hidden inside
You’re leaving with your destiny
With all your dreams and part of us
If time stood still to let us know
Your road would lead you so far away
We would turn back to change the past
And bring our hearts together
On your quest for the promised land
You spread happiness on your way
Sharing all you had inside
Nothing in return
We’ll never forget all these days
The truth in your eyes,
The moments shared together
Hear the voice of our love,
Until we cross the gates of heaven
To play together once again, hand in hand
Broken dreams
My heart is in your hands
Broken dreams
Will there be a time to meet you once again?
Broken dreams
When we cross the gates of heaven
Broken dreams
To play together once again
5. On The Hill
Repelled to a desert hill
Far away from mankind...
I stand in coldness and winds
The moon is the muse of my songs
I’m darkness to my prey
But my eyes shatter the night
If I were trapped
I’d tear up my bleeding flesh and cut out my bone
My will to be free will make me feel no pain...
You won’t understand
Stuck in your so cozy cage...
Repelled for a thousand years
In the shadow of mankind...
Fear and seduction collide
As i prowl near your souls
In your books I’m the Devil’s own
Pointed out by inquisition
The head of the mob
Is hunting me down for my crimes I didn’t commit
Maybe my voice disturbs its authority...
Through the ages you never learned
From my “wicked” cry
Remove these chains from your mind,
Hear the song of life...
Rebel, a menace you must kill
For the safety of mankind...
Instinct is my sole master
The tamed ones are so weak
Men’s laws are lies
So I’m on my way...
6. Glasemaaker Straat
Time ticks in a blind pace,
The same hypnotic chase
Haunts routine’s grey maze
Once I saw, among the rush hour crowd
A showcase so bright,
Beyond everyday’s shroud
Colored mirrors of light...
But indifference hurried at their perimeters
Unfolding newspaper faces
And dragging along its sleepwalking soldiers
A strange lobotomy spoils the city
Though stained glass windows
Cast their rainbows
I used to run, withered in a babbling crusade
Pursuing emptier spaces
And my mind drifted far
In this mad masquerade...
Now you’re gone and I realize,
Drowned in sorrow that I lost my rainbow
Tarnishing in the hubbub
The beautiful gets so usual
Vanishing to our clouded eyes...
I lived as a passerby
Dissolved in the crowd
Swallowed by my clouds
I lived as a sleepwalker
Anaesthetized by love’s daily murderer...
But all this time you were there
Shining bright at my side
Shining bright to the blind...
7. Images Of War
8. Thunder On Ashland
I hold the fury of a nation’s industry
I turn the gears of a big war machine
My voice is power
I’m selling thunder...
Trembling in the dust
Torn by the rumbling sounds
I’m terrorized and lost
As buildings crumble down
The science to dare chemical warfare
Progress unleashed more deceitful weapons...
Better disasters...
Falling from the skies
A black cloud bites the ground
Terror in mom’s eyes, her sons burned one by one
Manufactured hate, feeding a greedy society
Peace isn’t profitable so drop the bombs...
I don’t care ‘bout misery, I’m making money
In business there’s no friends, show no mercy...
And crawling in ashland
Half buried memories crying loud...
If you want promotions, or keep your positions
You must obey money’s democracy
And approve murders...
9. Silent Witness
