So, what went wrong? Was it all Just their view about the world? How does it feel? How does it seem? A passive viewer you’re meant to be It’s insane to portray This disaster and dismay Find a way to escape Seek the path to seize the day Sin after sin It is obscene To judge the people through your screen Rot in peace You’re obsolete ‘Cause TV blocked your will to live It’s insane to portray This corruption and dismay Find a way to escape Seek the path to seize the day Gazing, I’m looking The falling of belief, the circle of deceit Manipulation of your mind Searching, I’m seeking Beyond the lifestyle which they sell Lies a better way for you, today See this… Can you believe it? And I’m rejecting, disconnecting And it feels like resurrecting But it’s confusing So I’m refusing And inside my head it’s so amusing They’ll shed another tear for you And then forget your name They care about your safety But still they lead the way Investing on your fear, they’ll put an eye and ear On what you always thought it was your own

Surrounding me in orbit There’s a liars’ crowd People say they’re sorry But then they turn around Roaring Inside of me It’s the urge to run away There are no guardian angels Protectors of my soul No offers of salvation May bring a light of hope Howling At the moon Scream my awful pain away So much pain I’m a moral slave In the bondage of my phobias and shame I’m framed In endless delusion A dead-end confusion As I sink Into my own grief There’s a raging impulse, crawling Underneath Sadistic compulsion It’s time for some action Sighing In disillusionment Struggling Don’t wanna kill again Restless My eyes are seeing red Reeking of despair I cry out If you stand in my way You will regret the day you’re born I am an artifact Of devastation Someone whose only sense Was desperation Out in the lonely streets My spirit’s loose again Wandering in the mist Of my infernal quest Come close to me What do you see? Doomed destiny Not just a freak Meet the disciple Of hate Born in the burial grounds Of fate When people see my face They’re staring full of dread They know I’ve got the fame That I was raised in hell

You find it hard to realize That being part of this device Makes you insane One more drop of rain In a sea of endless guilt What is the needed remedy, Required to set you free? The key solution… Just a delusion… A mirage among beliefs The taste of poison… Like sugar-drops into my brain I’m feeding on my nightmares And all these screams, they call my name My isolation… A Compromise… No need for help, it doesn’t mean a thing Dissatisfaction guaranteed Just how it was, it’s meant to be You are unable to perceive That all this pain Is a tiny grain For the harvest of your dreams Seeking for the path to happiness Makes you understand your loneliness Your illumination… Deception… Like a castle made of sand In the end, what’s left behind? A social mask for me to hide Unspoken wishes, untold desires and deeper needs My silent rage, my mute disease My isolation… A compromise… No need for help, it doesn’t mean a thing Dissatisfaction guaranteed I ‘m all alone I ‘m all alone Who wants to know? Into the abyss The fish will eat your head Laying over you Their sacrificial web Deep down in the dark Chances are all too low Plans cannot be met When no one’s left to know Searching for a place For you to go and hide Needs a common eye But you’re completely blind Looking for relief In alternates of hope Feeling like the king Of cynical control Crash the boundaries The only escape is the fall from grace Go on and raise your head To overcome your fear Time to clench your fist Holding on to pain will result in shame Come back and eat their hearts out Spill their blood today Striking with ferocious might With absolute determination Butchering the beast inside A divine annihilation Devouring its guts – I’M FEELING Feasting on its flesh – I’M HEALING All those who stand before me Will taste revenge and fury

Forcing your ways Into my head Feels like a mental damnation I know My soul Won’t kneel before limitations No need to impose What’s right or wrong ‘Cause I’ll stand against regulations Your walls Can’t hold The spirit that longs for redemption For redemption Stay away from me I am your enemy I know your name I know your face And I’ll terminate your being Why does it seem so wrong To decide on my own I deny what I was told I shall turn the tide alone With open eyes And open mind I will not live in vain
5.
Drill deep inside What’s on your mind? Just think about What could have been Our way of life Without sin A wasteland A hollow ground A boring trip An empty hand Life eternal Strain infernal Promises of future bliss Suffocate our will to live If the world ends tomorrow Would you like to die in sorrow? ‘Cause the things you’ve never tried Will haunt your soul Forever and ever You should look beyond the veil Of religious blind faith Listen to the sirens sing Temptation’s wings Will take you higher Don’t be afraid No need to pray Conscience’s the god Inside you and me Live Your life today Fear No hell See Hear Feel Live

Falling I lose control Down the spiral of frustration untold How on earth Could I master my madness Since I think I am drowning in sadness All I need Is a dream A prospect of joy and pleasure An escape from imminent failure Helpless Lost and forlorn Trapped inside My mental black hole Locked again In the halls of denial Let my gaze at my own funeral pyre All I need Is a dream A prospect of joy and pleasure To believe You were the last one alike To disappear from my mind Your days are over but salvation is yet to come Each time a story is told About a failure foretold I seal the gates that separate me from the world And find my shelter in the shades of solitude You were the last one alike To disappear from my mind Your days are over but salvation is yet to come How could I ever presume That all my senses were consumed In making my cerebral universe of gloom I found my shelter in the shades of solitude Cast me a spell To liberate, liberate me A way out of hell Set to liberate, liberate me
