2. Evil
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: Johan
No true form. Like wind, spreading unnoticed
Not to be seen, it takes different shapes, using men as hosts
When a new host is taken, an old one dies
Evil, the great deceiver
No cure for this feaver
A man proven evil (by the good)
is taken by force
Tortured to confess
the circle is closed
Evil that rises again has found it's new host
Evil, greatest in disguise
Undetected it will rise
Eyes. Its only weakness
Though invisible, the reflection shows
Deep black, enemy arise in everyone
spreading its lies
Don't trust anything but the eyes
Lives in its empire we call earth
Never to dissapear
The darkness gives birth
Evil appears
3. Ignore
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Close your eyes
Pretend it's not there
I am alarmed by the way things move today
the way we close our eyes / and ignore what is happening to our world
Terror, war, starvation,
innocent blood being spilled
But hey it's just on tv
Turn it off and it dissappears
We pretend not to see, and hope things will be fine
This horror can not be, leave this world of mine
Can you see the future
Do you feel the horror
Will you close your eyes
And pretend it's not there
4. Not quite Right
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: Lars
The city wakes up from the night's slumber
and the engines start rolling
But he did not search for productivity
nor did he search for wealth
And the city is captured by television
endless entertainment and commerce
But I did not search for glamour
and I did not want to consume
The city wakes up and the
talking fills up the air
But she did not search for shallowness
And she did not search for popularity
So quick to reject / So late to embrace
Initially so determined
What we are looking for / But soon more unsure
So many disappointments
Will we dare to keep on searching
for something still unknown
So easy to know what we don't want
What are we looking for?
Will we dare to keep on searching
for something still unknown
5. Consequence (of abusing human weakness)
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: Lars
pushing me further
When will I fall?
seduce me, oppress me
with your lies, your destructive lies
tell me I am not good enough
call to my weak sides / give in to your will
Pushing me towards a life of desperation
A life founded on materialistic pleasure
Materialism
how I hate you!
consequence
of abusing human weakness
A fragile technology is our god
In whom we completely trust
While suspicious onto each other
failure of humanity!
Tempting me to trust in a shallow state of mind
To rely in objects made by men that are driven by greed!
The twelve-year-old girl fooled to dress up
in a way that denotes a perverted
sexuality / childhood stolen by profit-seekers
they could not care less about the twisted minds
they are creating!
Exploitation
how I hate you!
Materialism
how I hate you!
Consequence
of abusing human weakness
6. Silence
7. Freakshow
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Welcome to the freakshow
This is where we leave the rejected
No place for individuality
In this perfect world we created
Freakshow / freakshow Rejection / Perfection
Freakshow / freakshow Denial / Revival
Can our science
Bring us knowledge?
Can the knowledge
Bring us peace?
The society of the future
Cannot tolerate your radical ideas
We are in control of our feelings
There is no such thing as faith
Building the future
Engineered to perfection
Destruction of Eden
Creation of hell
I wont stand by
Watching you die
Let go your fear
Drawing me near
Freakshow / freakshow Rejection / Perfection
Freakshow / freakshow Denial / Revival
Listen up, the time for change is now
We need to stop this before its to late
The cold way of science can never replace
The true love of the creator
Freakshow / freakshow Rejection / Perfection
Freakshow / freakshow Denial / Revival
Building the future
Engineered to perfection
Destruction of Eden
Creation of hell
8. Paths and Crossroads
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Standing in the doorway
Waiting for tomorrow
Staring at the crossroads
Thinking 'bout today
I can't see tomorrow
I can't leave today
I'm trapped in the present
I'm a fool / i'm lost in space
A thousand doors / with unknown content
A million roads / An infinite amount of paths
Can you see tomorrow
Will you walk the road?
Do you see the beacon
Will you make the choice?
9. Högmod
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Jag styr över mig själv
ingen annan har makten
att styra mig
Jag är den som står högst
alla andra skall vika
Se hur jag skrider fram
se på min härlighet
Mitt högmod övervinner allt
En sinnebild av renhet
perfektion i mänsklig gestalt
detta är den bild jag skapat
våga inte se mig som jag är
Utåt är jag obefläckad
ingen kan nå mig
få mig på fall
Inåt döljer jag mina brister
Vem har rätt att döma mig?
Du är inte bättre själv
Jag är trött på lögnerna
att dölja vad jag är
finns du som ser mig
som älskar mig i min enkelhet?
Så svårt att visa vem jag är
Så lätt att vara den jag blivit
Mitt eget högmod begraver mig
10. Your Master
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Who am i / can you see
Look beyong / set me free
take control / be revealed
find yourself / be deceived
Inhale the flames of horror
do you want to see tomorrow?
Open up to the heat
set you free
feel the sweet victory
can it be
as you lay down to die
no remorse
you just left them behind
but of course
You just felt alive
Now you say goodbye
11. Mind Numbing Crap
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: Lars
They are all around me
No view free from the terror
The so-called newspapers profits
on already cheap entertainment
Reality shows they call it
But since when must reality be created?
So destructive, this whole idea
Humiliate yourself and you will win fame
And all are part / of the circus
Won't stop as long / as we consume it
In the modern world
we will care about others
for as long as we are separated
by the TV-screen
And all are part / of the circus
Won't stop as long / as we consume it
We excel in analyzing
these human beings that we don't even know
12. Past the Horizon
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Status chaotic / No order
Anarchy reigns / Future uncertain
Guidance / Nowhere to be seen
Darkness / Clouds the road ahead
Bring us order
Show us the way
13. Bring Me Water
Music: Taketh
Lyrics: David
Self inflicted chaos born
Spiritual desert inside me
Where can i find me a shelter
Somewhere to water my dried out self
Unknown shores ahead of me
Following the bright new road
only darkness behind me
i will never ever look back
Fill me with your living water
let me never thirst again
Next day i can not see from here
The past does no longer matter
All that i care for from this day on
Is walking the road, made by the Son
Fill me with your living water
let me never thirst again
14. A new day
