1. Mankind's Children
The perfect body-guard
In a fish-eye lens I see it come apart
Slow-mo metallic art
All-new worlds that never end
Automatic
Dancing fractal algorithmic heart
All synthetic heart
Human intellect cross-connected
The significance of human existence is gone
With all of mankind's children
Mankind's children
The perfect image made
Then I start to see, I can't be afraid
Between the start and face
All-new places never end
Thoughts and visions
Dancing now between the head and the heart
All synthetic heart
Human intellect cross-connected
The significance of human existence is gone
With all of mankind's children
Mankind's children
2. Mass Media
We are sailing on the wave
Overflowing sea of information
Information is our destination
Cynical wind, to the sail of wrecking shore
Passengers illusion
You lead us, and you can give
Give us more of your scandal
Show
Show us more of your tragedy and your
Mass media
Mass media
Enormous sky of numbers, guides us
We lose ourselves to daydreams
Information is our destination
Cynical wind, to the sail of a wrecking shore
Passengers illusion
You lead us, and you can give
3. Sleeping Dogs
All the lies, represent
Faces of the government
Now the contradiciton is revealed
Behind the wall, behind the glass
From the future to the past
People, miss out on the deal
Hey now, hey now
Taking the old man's blood (I say)
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
You know it ain't no good (I say)
Hey now, hey now
Sleeping dogs will wade for sure
Two-faced economic war
Sleeping dogs, sleeping dogs
Pay the rich and rob the poor
Pretending man, wear the masks
War for peace, wipe their ass
With bills, baby
Behind the doors of self-interest
No signs of improvement
Seduce you into isolation
And force you to die
4. Key
I'am exhausted lay down in my fear
The situation is becoming severe
But there I am
A fighting man
Don't lose it
Jump into chaos to find out the key
Solve any problems that hide within me, and I
Climb one step upward to chance everything, I am
Counting the stars that my freedom will bring
Outside the rain keeps on falling
Yeah, it's falling
I feel the wind will always blow
This storm will never go
I will keep trying to find out
Yeah, I'll find out
There is always a way to be free
But I got to be
Afraid of nothing
Pressure attacks me, no mercy I feel
It's my affliction I cannot reveal
But there I am
The fighting man
I choose it
Outside the rain keeps on piercing
Yeah, it's piercing you
Time holds you just to dry yours tears and
Heal your damaged heart
You will keep trying to find out
Yeah, you'll find out
Doesn't matter how helpless you are
You make a mistake
If you forsake your friend
The countless cometitors like
Whenever you suffer the defeat
The fate is in chaos
5. Eternally
Consumed by jealousy
Can't stop the hatred
Flash out in anger
I can't give you away
You stare at me
Watch and believe in me, yeah
You don't see anything
In my reality
It's my reality
And now you sleep
Eternally
And I know nothing's gonna separate us
How can I ever love you more?
Ah, yes, eternally
Abnormal affection?
I just wanna stay here, with you
I'm in that freezing wind
6. Ghost of the Past
Wandering like a tangled thread
I am a sleepwalker confused
In this half empty place
I dream frightened by day
Where am I going now?
Where am I going now?
"you should go back, you should go"
[...]
7. My Horizon
No movement, no wind
No borders, no races, nowhere
Black space cuts in
Technology gives me no peace of mind
The answer that I reach
Devote myself to
The questions that I preac
Devote myself to
The peace of mind I strive
Devote myself to
To keep myself alive
Devote myself to
My horizon
Looking from here, something leads me on
As I think to commit the unthinkable
More important things
The axis bolder than before
I am at home
Out here, where there's nothing
Gray mountains hiding
Emotional unrest
Devote myself to
Different lives at best
Devote myself to
Realize myself to
Devote myself to
Turning to the West
Devote myself to
My horizon
Looking from here, something leads me on
As I think to commit the unthinkable
My horizon
Seeing from here, out beyond the sun
As I think to commit the unthinkable
8. New Reality
9. Magic Blood
10. Running
