1. Angels of Pain
Full moon stares at me
from the ceiling
Shadows are sucking
at my breath
Mind mumbles
in its hibernated halfworld
Love and life grow cold
foretold of their death
Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
Wingbeat, heartbeat
the rhythms are alike
Loe one, flutter, stop
and down you go
The jar that holds
this God created spirit
breaks if you bring
its host too low
Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls
The sunken stare in their eyes
hollow and blind
Faces with no expression
always leering once behind
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
It's not the years
that wear you down
You grow old by
what they contain
If you choose to bleed
the last laugh is on you
Mocking you
to the oblivion
The angels of pain
Sometimes
I get compelled by the mirrors
To see the image
of what might have been
Hours turn to eons
I dare not to blink my eye
Haunted face of myself
is all that I've seen
The message brought home
is not gentle "father to son"
They throw the revelations
like bullts from a gun
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
Between me and you
they'll drive you insane
Angels of pain you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
They will drive you insane
They'll never leave
the angels of pain
2. E. T. I.
I see a burning streak
in the dark sky
The stars above are turning pale
A faceless messiah
beast from the outer space
TV-legions all hail
The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?
With faces proud
but the heart's grown small
We stand in shaky reception
Overloaded minds
trying to predefine
the moment of truth or deception
The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?
Will we be given an answer?
Does it know who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?
The gods of billions
will share just one fate
Crushed down beneath
the new one's weight
Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?
Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
by the light of this star
Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?
Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?
Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
3. Shades in Glass
4. As One
This world I see
perception of essential me
It turns wit time
of its own
The will stays strong
to walk the right
to correct the wrong
Collect and learn
what can be known
Mirage of wonder
grow into me
They'll give me
a stronger way to be
I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one
The earthern sand
the stars shine
from the palm of my hand
A breach of the solitude
where I stand
The light of the souls
almost reaching me
Will it give me
a stranger way to be
I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one
As one
I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one
I'd see through
darkness to the sun
The stars in the palm
of my hand
I'd see you
if we could be as one
5. State of Grace
I see the hill
scattered to horizons
They've haunted my dreams
for a long time
The bones of ancestors
lay unrestful
They're calling me
to their shrine
And I struggle
With the season before the snow
The ground is hard with ice
the road beckons, I'll follow
Home must be left
to know the longing
The toes will grow numb
from the frost
I used to know
where I was heading for
Somewhere, somehow
it just got lost
I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
Wheels of fire wild at play
spinning, ascending
To learn that there's more than
just to live and die
Some love would be sweet
before the final ending
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
The pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
To know there's more
than just to live and die
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
To the state of grace
To the state of grace
6. Race the Light
