1. Mirrors Paradise
Was it everything they told you?
Was it all the things they promised you?
Was it everything they told you?
Was it everything they said it would be?
Strange things move in the corner of my eyes
And the sky never looked so white and pretty
Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh
There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all the things you prayed for?
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it everything you thought it would be?
How can you love it...
How can you believe it...
How can you need it...
When there's nothing there?
In space where the stars are dead now
The man in the moon still has a wicked face
But the more you reach for the heavens above
The more you'll hate your own pitiful love
Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise
Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise
How can you love it...
How can you believe it...
How can you need it...
When there's nothing there?
I want to show you something so much better
I'll make the world seem a little bit deader
You smile... but it's all despair
You love... but there's nothing there
Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise
Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise
2. New World Order
Stand aside for the new world
Systematic... Aristocratic...
Don't deceive yourself get out of the way
We command and you obey
Beautiful to be the Joker
Cursed by an all-to human future
Things you cannot defeat you start to believe in
New generations - Synthetic nations
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
Old-school fascism is on the rise
Narsissistic... Evangelistic...
So many things are only here to be hated
No need for love when the world is sedated
Beautiful to be the Joker
Cursed by an all-to human future
The world burns with death as a lover
It's systematic for the coming new order
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
World-wide genocide - Mass religious suicide
Immoral seduction - Digital corruption
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
I am your loving hate... This is the new world
3. Mannequin
There's nothing left inside your world... It's dying
Just close your eyes... Eternity is just another game
You're just another clone... So shed your skin now
Nothing lasts forever... Just let it slip away
It doesn't have to be forever
It doesn't have to be forever
You're just another faithless mannequin
You're just another fallen star
You're just to blind to see, you hate what you can never be
And now you're hollow... Just like me
There's nothing left inside your world
You're just an empty shell of lifeless skin and bone
You're just another drone... A synthetic messiah
Nothing lasts forever... Just let it slip away
It doesn't have to be forever
It doesn't have to be forever
You don't want to be human... Anymore than me
You're just another faithless mannequin
You're just another fallen star
You're just to blind to see, you hate what you can never be
And now you're hollow... Just like me
4. Sindrom
He is the prophet of the space age, intrepid seducer
A nightmare to some, a revelation to others
Scrutinised and labeled, He keeps on smiling
Loving what it feeds on, the flame grows higher
He is the prophet of the new desire
He's got the flesh and alien fire
Mankind is just a whore always wanting more
As the flames grow higher and higher
JOIN THE TRANCE THE FORCE IS GROWING
The centre cannot hold
JOIN THE DANCE THE FORCE IS FLOWING
We control the vertical
He is the prophet of the space age, the invisible worm
A beauty to some, but a beast to others
It's a hate adventure, and everyone is invited
So we celebrate the greatest of sins
He is the prophet of the new desire
He's got the flesh and alien fire
Mankind is just a whore always wanting more
As the flames grow higher and higher
JOIN THE TRANCE THE FORCE IS GROWING
The centre cannot hold
JOIN THE DANCE THE FORCE IS FLOWING
We control the vertical
God is nothing more than Me
God is nothing more than Me
God is nothing more than Me
God is nothing more than Me
He is the prophet of the space age, intrepid seducer
A nightmare to some, a revelation to others
Scrutinised and labeled, He keeps on smiling
Loving what it feeds on, the flame grows higher
JOIN THE TRANCE THE FORCE IS GROWING
The centre cannot hold
JOIN THE DANCE THE FORCE IS FLOWING
We control the vertical
5. Jihad
Get down on your knees and feed the illusion
Get down on your knees and prolong the delusion
Superstition is the religion of the feeble mind
Liberty and Justice - The Illusions of mankind
A dogmatic expression in every direction
There is no redemption in divine intervention
The world is a disease that cannot be cured
The truth is a voice that cannot be heard
Jihad - The twisted hands of faith
Jihad - In the name of Hate
Jihad - The twisted hands of faith
Jihad - In the name of Hate
Hate is the solution to life's evolution
Love is a high that you cannot sustain
For each age is a dream that is dying
And freedom is a whore that we love to adore
Jihad - To be touched by the hands of God
Jihad - To be touched by the hands of God
Hate is the solution to life's evolution
Love is a high that you cannot sustain
For each age is a dream that is dying
And freedom is a whore that we love to adore
Jihad - To be touched by the hands of God
Jihad - To be touched by the hands of God
A dogmatic expression in every direction
There is no redemption in divine intervention
The world is a disease that cannot be cured
The truth is a voice that cannot be heard
6. The Human Abstract
We shape the future - We rape the world
Fallen icons left to burn
The depiction of a naked deformity
Another long lost tragedy
The man in the moon is looking right at you
With a face of death He follows the future
While you sleep we destroy our planet
And somewhere in space the dead are smiling
Beautiful disease... The worm is crawling beneath your skin
Beautiful disease... The worm is feeding on your lies within
Dissintegration - Deterioration
Television slave generation
Deformation - Devastation
Electronic mind mutation
"Lost in your own illusion, sick from your own disease,
you drained the world in your search of knowledge
All questions are answers... Hidden within their own reality
Open your eyes... And the truth shall set you free!!!"
We shape the future - We rape the world
Fallen icons left to burn
The depiction of a naked deformity
Another long lost tragedy
Beautiful disease... The worm is crawling beneath your skin
Beautiful disease... The worm is feeding on your lies within
7. Prophecies of Fire
Born from the blind, delusional mind
Bite the hand that feeds the lie
The garden is severed, buried in the truth
Open your eyes... 'Cause God hates you
The serpents have the power coiled in illusion
A poisonous gift of beautiful sin
Paint the whore with the ashes of Eden
It's time to face the end of the world
We have flown to close the sun
But in space even angels can get burned
"As death rains down upon them... Cleansing
the streets in a cloudburst of blood, black
leather smoke coils up my nostrils tingeling
with death's surprise. It leaks out through
the cracks in the cold asphalt sidewalks
of the city of sin
...Feast upon the images of molten massacre,
as the machineries of death grind relentlessly on"
We have flown to close the sun
But in space even angels can get burned
Lunacy breeds in silent fire
No hope for mankind as the world expire
8. In the Name of the Future
In the name of the future
Confused the angel beholds the master
The little people are coming for me
Behold the curse of mortality
In the name of the future
Death to the world - Death to the world
In the name of the future
Confused the prophet beholds his disaster
The man inbetween is looking for me
Destroyed in the end I ceased to be
In the name of the future
Death to the world - Death to the world
This world is a will to power
This world is a will to power
"I used to be the God of the heavenly children
Playing wicked games in the garden of Eden
But their apple went rotten down to the core
So with hands outstretched they begged for more
Then I gave them the Messiah to teach them the Word
He was born like a butterfly... died like a worm
My kingdom rusted - The heavens burned
So now I sit here watching the end of the world"
In the name of the future
Confused the angel beholds the master
The little people are coming for me
Behold the curse of mortality
In the name of the future
Death to the world - Death to the world
This world is a will to power
This world is a will to power
9. Spaceman (Babylon Zoo cover)
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man (intergalactic Christ)
Pungent smells they consummate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Trying to take control
See my girl she shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Trying to take us all
There's a fire between us
So where is your God
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off this world
The sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of fascist votes
Beam me up 'cos I can't breathe
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man
It's time to terminate the great wide world
Morbid fascinations television takes control
Decimation diffrent races fall
Electronic information tampers with your soul
There's a fire between us
So where is your God
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the caruosel
I can't fall off this world
The sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of fascist votes
Beam me up 'cos I can't breathe
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man
10. The Birth of Tragedy
He will be there the unhallowed redeemer
The great accuser - The man of the future
Embraced by bitterness and cold compassion
The burning wonder... tears heaven apart
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
If there's no future... No bright tomorrow
The end is failing... No need to remain
Love was just another reason for hatred
The end is coming - The world opens wide
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
There is no tomorrow... Just end it all today
There is no salvation... No need to remain
Alien Erotica... Colliding black suns
I can't justify your need for worship
Decadence is just a human virtue
There is no need to fight the future
Eternity is just a death away...
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
There is no salvation...
There is no salvation...
