1. Don't Lose Control
DON'T LOSE CONTROL
We are sitting in a cage of fools
Always under steam
No stop, no air to breath
No air to live
We are passing each other
No time to lose
Nobody's losing control
Like machines
Don't lose control
Don't be who you are
Don't lose control
Don't be who you are
It's tying up your throat
It takes your strength away
No feelings only functions
Like machines
We are working for ten - is it all worth it?
The mankind is its biggest enemy
Leaving a battlefield
No happiness, no future
There's no sign of life
2. Solitude
SOLITUDE
A few more days to live
Unless alive is not the right word
To describe the state she's living in
Nothing to get, nothing to give
Nothing to become or achieve
What she sees are dark walls in the night
The outside world seems so unknown
Those faces at the breakfast-table
Don't care of her or what she seems to be
It may be ten or twenty steps
To get out of her room and back
She covers her face - a stone cold mask
She covers her eyes - entering pitch black nights
Doesn't need the way she's going
She asks for the time trying to flee from her mind
Maybe she cried herself blind
It's three o' clock in the morning
She was born in '27
I don't know what happened then
It seems to be so very hard for her to speak
No reason to laugh
Nothing to die for
What she needs are dark walls in the night
She couldn't find a sense
She couldn't find the words
Drifting into darkness - no return
It may be ten or twenty steps
To get out of her room and back
3. Joshua
4. Stormy Nights
STORMY NIGHTS
A one-way street in pouring rain
Cosiness goes down the drain
Shimmering drops are falling down in vain
And the brain is plagued by pressure
Wrapped up in a perfect twilight state
You are waiting for the morning rise
Strange eyes appear and are shining bright
Impossible to see what's wrong or right
Completely unable to take to your heels
You tread new ways to nowhere
Another stormy night takes hold of you
Beware the fight, the pain, the plight
Another stormy night is tossing, turning
Ships on course at every side
The walk goes on in pitch-black darkness
Still wrapped up in that twilight state
Your steps are echoed in the distance far ahead
Mixed up with all these shouts
Noone can hear but you
Running so fast without to move at starting point
Soaked in sweat you feel the dread
The ringing bell is aching
Coming back to life your body shakes
The gloomy subconscious is striking
The spitting image of yourself
Reveals the one you really are
The struggle against the tireness
Is not won forever but stopped so far
5. Dark Clouds Over Eden
DARK CLOUDS OVER EDEN
Scene one: A life is born
"Survive, be strong"
A mind that's built to last
An evolution of the brave
The way leads straight into the grave
Shouting, running
Hunt for meat and save the weak
This is how it all began
Life goes on, no matter how an when
The question still remains
Peace is only an illusion of the past
We fear, we hide
"Don't mind", they say
"There's freedom in the end"
A wrong conclusion, you will see
All for one and one for war
A new decade of wrong and rights
A new decade of senseless fights
We try, we care
"Beware", I say
There are dark clouds over eden
Scene two: Our holy friend
From heaven sent
The mission simply failed
Some sacred men with brains of mud
Drank from a chalice filled with blood
Praying, lying
Hunt for souls and save his will
This is how it all went on
Scene three: A single man
Is able to plan
The downfall of mankind
Sensitivity is gone
Noone asks: "What can go wrong"
Talking, faking
Take whatever you can get
This is not a perfect ending
