1. The Dreamer
On the search for a universal truth there are less answers than questions
Sooner or later you will find out there's no such thing
It's a utopic imagination which only fools will believe in
Truth is made up by your point of view
No one will tell you wrong from right
You're left alone in the dark
Hoping what you see is not reality
But this is not a dream
Or are we just imagination
Of a higher being dreaming?
Then our seeking is senseless
What if the dreamer wakes up?
Will we still exist or will we fade away?
Are we free or is our fate already sealed? no one can tell you
Look into yourself - the answer is in you
No need to take a choice 'cause nothing lasts forever
It's the fate of all beauty to decay
We're running out of time
Whatever we believe in
You better wake up before it's too late
'cause this is not a dream
Or are we just imagination
Of a higher being dreaming?
Then our seeking is senseless
What if the dreamer wakes up?
Will we still exist or will we fade away?
2. Epoch of Unlight
We forge our lives in the fire of lies
With the hammer of falseness on the anvil of disguise
Cruelty is our blade, irony our shield
We cover ourselves in an armor of cynism
This state already lasts too long
The armies of falseness still grow
I'm not the only one to know
There's no saviour to come
We have arrived in an epoch of unlight
Where saints are made of sin
Decay of moral, the old ideal's perversion
The age of mental darkness is to be here
One day I was to find out
You already were one of them
A victim of you own illusion
Without a trait of your own
I lost myself in a hole of depression
Asked myself how I could be so wrong
But there was no answer
And nobody would ever know
What is it that makes mankind walk this way
Say "truth is not my confession"
"there's no right and there's no wrong"
We're consuming our own decay
This state already lasts too long
The armies of falseness still grow
I'm not the only one to know
There's no saviour to come
We have arrived in an epoch of unlight
Where saints are made of sin
Decay of moral, the old ideal's perversion
The age of mental darkness is to be here
3. Not Until you're Dead
Do you still remember what you wanted your life to be?
Now look at yourself - what have you become?
A weakened body with a mutilated mind
Once full of dreams, now numb and empty
The dreams you dream are not yours
You lost them long ago
The life you live is a lie
The dreams you had - they died out long before
Don't you fell ashamed
When you look into the mirror
When you think of the chances you've missed
What life could be today
Does it mean the same to you
Or don't you even care?
A life that is not yours
Not until you're dead
Looking for a way out of your chosen monotony
To escape the mechanized ways you live your life
Mechanical feelings, mechanical thoughts
You're a machine covered in flesh and skin
The dreams you dream are not yours
You lost them long ago
The life you live is a lie
The dreams you had - they died out long before
Does it mean the same to you
Or don't you even care?
A life that is not yours
Not until you're dead
4. A Wonderland Insane
Take a look into my eyes and witness a blackish emptiness you've never seen before
A unique horror to anyone who hasn't seen what's beyond infinity
Trapped in a labyrinth of madness, a gallery of hate
Beyond the edge of sanity, a wonderland insane
Welcome to my world
Where feelings disappear
No sorrows and no pleasures
Just a dreadful paradise of emptiness
Take a look into my soul and lose yourself - no way to escape
Now you're trapped as me and myself, a one way ticket to insanity
Trapped in a labyrinth of madness, a gallery of hate
Beyond the edge of sanity, a wonderland insane
Welcome to my world
Where feelings disappear
No sorrows and no pleasures
Just a dreadful paradise of emptiness
5. Of Hunter and Deer
More than a thousand times I played it in my mind
The game of hunter and deer
I followed your track, my senses were sharp
To satisfy my desire to kill
But when I trapped you and you couldn't run away
Somehow I felt pity for you
I turn away and question myself
A conflict of instinct and mind
Which is the right way to choose?
Does reason protect or harm myself?
I wipe my doubts away, the hunt starts over again
I follow your track, my senses are sharp
To satisfy my desire to kill
Once more I trap you and you can't run away
Now there's no pity I could feel
I tear your flesh and you scream in fear and knowledge of death
There's no escape for you as your blood falls on the ground
I made my way through my doubts, the dominance of reason is gone
I follow my instinct, it's the rule of nature I can't ignore
6. Killing is Art
More than a thousand times I played it in my mind
The game of hunter and deer
I followed your track, my senses were sharp
To satisfy my desire to kill
But when I trapped you and you couldn't run away
Somehow I felt pity for you
I turn away and question myself
A conflict of instinct and mind
Which is the right way to choose?
Does reason protect or harm myself?
I wipe my doubts away, the hunt starts over again
I follow your track, my senses are sharp
To satisfy my desire to kill
Once more I trap you and you can't run away
Now there's no pity I could feel
I tear your flesh and you scream in fear and knowledge of death
There's no escape for you as your blood falls on the ground
I made my way through my doubts, the dominance of reason is gone
I follow my instinct, it's the rule of nature I can't ignore
7. RPG
The game is set up
The dice have been thrown
Choose your character and start right in
Beginners pick stereotypes, professionals will customize
But it's all within the limits, no way to be yourself
This is just an rpg
A scheme to rule your life
Shifted to reality
To blind your eyes and blind your mind
No matter which way you choose
The plot remains the same
It has been optimized to run on any system
There's no requirements, it fits to any shape
Results are predefined
Just throw the dice again
This is just an rpg
A scheme to rule your life
Shifted to reality
To blind your eyes and blind your mind
8. A Last Attempt of Refusal
9. Demonhearted
Did you ever think of what lurks inside of me?
A mighty roaring demon waiting to be unleashed
Embodiment of human fears, hatred and disgust
Finally your worst nightmares 'came true in me
Burning acid runs my veins
My spit will singe your skin
A creature from the pits of hell
Raping burning death infame
Torture - all life on earth
You'll get what you have gained
Invoke - your final days
Purgatory's on the way
Taste the pain and feel the grind
Driving you insane
There's no mercy in my mind
I'll make you feel the pain
My hands will crush your backbone and they will turn your face
Into a haze of blood and scatter your remains
They will squish your guts and pulverize your brain
There's no death to release you, you'll suffer endless pain
Taste the pain and feel the grind
Driving you insane
There's no mercy in my mind
I'll make you feel the pain
Torture - all life on earth
You'll get what you have gained
Invoke - your final days
Purgatory's on the way
10. Left me to Die
How could things run out of control so quick and unforeseen?
We lost ourselves in a personal war, an unnecessary ridiculousity
All my attempts to reach you were bound to fail
I raised no accusations because I always thought:
"What you didn't know when you said goodbye
Was that you left me to die"
You never saw my pain, the tears that I cried
You never heard me scream in the black of the night
You never understood my thoughts
You never made me feel human
I saw myself decay
Helplessly drowning deeper
I feasted myself at my agony
Growing my hate stronger because
Perhaps you knew when you said goodbye
That you left me to die
Now that I gained some insight
To the corrupted soul of yours
The only feeling I feel
Is eternal hate for you
Your heartlessness is disgusting
Can you still look in the mirror? - I doubt
But you keep telling me 'bout moral
You, a monster without a conscience
Now I'm sure when you said goodbye
You knew you left me to die
