Wake Up The Atom
03:53
|
|||
Waste
While you can
But it won't
Last forever
Dig
Dig deeper
Till the core
Is corrupted
Rise as the sun does
Wake up the atom
Rise as the sun does
Believe the atom
Burn
Every inch
Everything
There's to be preserved
Fossil
Did its time
Now the crime
Of the humankind
Rise as the sun does
Wake up the atom
Rise as the sun does
Believe the atom
Naive fear, blind ignorance. Progress sake: deliverance
Planet kill, rude arrogance. Progress sake: deliverance
Rise as the sun does
Wake up the atom
Rise as the sun does
Believe the atom
Rise as the sun does
Wake up the atom
Live as the sun does
Believe the atom
Naive fear, blind ignorance. Judgment call!
Planet kill, rude arrogance. Progress sake: deliverance

2 Hours

Closing your eyes
Easing your spine
Inhale exhale
Steady Heart beat
Ignoring that,
Ignoring the
Noise of silence
Almost there without realising
Taken from Despair
Reborn in the Dark
Greater than awake
2 hours of life
What I see here cannot be random
It’s will and power, enlightening epiphany
Architect your secret kingdom
Make it thrive, tear it down, start again
Hidden Treasures
Lost Desires
Remote places
Well known faces
Your brain mixing
Past and future
Reckless Vortex
Of existence
All is pulling
Into a chasm
Falling into
The deepest abyss
Scary obsession
Grid distortion
Fifth dimension
Everlasting sleep paralysis
Taken from Despair
Reborn in the Dark
Greater than awake
2 hours of life
What I see here cannot be random
It’s will and power, enlightening epiphany
Architect your secret kingdom
Make it thrive, tear it down, start again
Start again, born again
Time compressed to an instant
Space expands at the speed of light
Matter that you can feel and shape
On the edge of the event horizon
Start again, Come again

Sorry About Death
03:45
|
|||
Everything that is sent to orbit
Piece by piece shot up there
State of the art engineering
Made to function, doomed to stop
Sorry, sorry about death
Nothing to regret?
Has been a pleasure
Time to say
Sorry, sorry about death
Nothing to regret?
Your duty is over
Over and done
Proud traces of the human race
Can shine once, then be erased
The space dream is not enough
To justify what we screwed up
Clever but temerarious
Limitless but still ridiculous
Seeking something we don’t know
Seeking somewhere we could go
Sorry, sorry about death
Nothing to regret?
Has been a pleasure
Time to say
Sorry, sorry about death
Nothing to regret?
Your duty is over
Over and done
No, I’m not god
No, you’re not god
No, we're not god
No, there’s no god
Try, risk, die, repeat
Aim, hit, miss, evolve

Warm Up
03:46
|

Look at us, we are still here
Trapped somewhere we do belong
Believing stories too fake to be real
Acting, talking like nothing is wrong
We bend but we don't break
Raised, taught to stare at the screen
Death for them means death for us
Not a stranger, but a brother’s scream
Watch them Sacrifice
Why should we survive?
In this trade of lives
Watch them sacrifice
Golden gates of salvation
Are closing before our eyes
An aggressive, backstabbing coup
Calculated over a war map
New disasters that once were fiction
Have become as real as your grave
Entertainment involving no action
The lethal weapon of information
Watch them sacrifice
Slaughter for money
Desperate for energy
Devastate all beauty
Is this what we are here for?
Watch them Sacrifice
Why should we survive?
In this trade of lies
Save or Sacrifice
Watch them Sacrifice
Why should they survive?
In this trade of lives

In Fieri
02:02
|
|||
Mirror for humanity, mirror for the universe
The sound of perseverance, total harmony
Countless waves merging into a pure line
Elements bounded by energy
Far from mother earth’s comforting sight
Observing the past comprehending the future
Roaming in space, looking into time
Everything transforms, gradually becomes
Finally becomes
Becomes

Burden
03:53
|
|||
You’ve been asking yourself every reason, every outcome of such inner void
Walking back every single step that grew within a dark power not yet deployed
Is this Fair? The start of your misery?
On you lies the burden of memory
You’ve been playing from your cards every ace, every joker, without reserve
Took for granted whatever you gave, wished the future would pay your nerve
You’re escaping the vivid nightmare of a skinned hunting beast,
Where it’s chasing you hungry, insatiable, bearing the name of ‘Past’
Is this Real? The end of your misery?
Break free from the burden of memory
No remorse, No remission
Holy lies of redemption
No remorse, No soul to blame
Lead yourself through the game
For too long you took the side of this system’s cogs
Until they came barking at you like raging dogs
Is this Fair? The start of your misery?
On you lies the burden of memory
Is this Real? The end of your misery?
Break free from the burden of memory
No remorse, No remission
Holy lies of redemption
The end of your misery
The burden of memory
Memory

Kantharos
03:12
|
|
||
In the story of people
And their struggles
Both wise men and fools
Raised the eternal cup
Traitors, heroes, cowards, reckless
Shared its rim and glory
Nobody’s without a choice
Nobody’s guilty or innocent
Beyond pleasure, lust, oblivion
Dark payoff of Kantharos
Taste immortality
Feel deceit in every drop
Change your lucid perception
Blending laughters and cries
Within human nature
Within god’s one
How do you find yourself without losing it?
Walking through a toxic shame
Nobody without a choice
Nobody guilty or innocent
Beyond pleasure, lust, oblivion
Dark payoff of Kantharos
Kantharos
What belongs to the soul?
What is fair to be taken?
The illusion of control,
Or an Eden forsaken?
What belongs to the soul?
What is fair to be taken?
The illusion of control,
Or a sorrow forgotten?
Hide your mask away
Life’s lie of innocence
Stained with poisonous delight
There’s no peace without a fight

What a Wreckage
04:45
|
|||
Where have you been
All this time?
Never seen around
Never safe and sound
Lost and clueless,
Lost in rhyme.
Words are overlapping
What’s wrong?
Grit your teeth and smile
Held in apnoea, so it didn’t feel too real
Held in apnoea, yet it was real
What a wreckage
Carcass of a man, prison of a ghost
What a wreckage
Nothing else remains in a rotten frame
What have you seen
In this hell?
Always on the hunt
Of another stunt
Held in apnoea, so it didn’t feel too real
Held in apnoea, yet it was real
What a wreckage
Carcass of a man, prison of a ghost
What a wreckage
Nothing else remains in a rotten frame
Go!
Ro- ro- ro- rotten, Ro- ro- ro- rotten, Ro- ro- ro- rotten, Rotten Frame
Leave behind to live beyond

F(r)ail
04:30
|
|||
Don’t you realise how frail we are?
Living on the perpetual chase of one more scar, how sad
Beloved castle of pride, castle of sand
Has been wiped out again but we won’t repent
We’re so frail to our god’s eye
Due to fail the plan of a lifetime
We’re so frail to our god’s eye
Due to fail the plan of life
Who said a man ain’t no machine?
He mistook the weakest tin for the strongest steel
We should bear in mind what’s abused today
Will be paid twice as much along the way
Times of trouble, times of joy
Never mattered much your ploy
The higher the expectation flies
The stronger the delusion ties
We’re so frail to our god’s eye
Due to fail the plan of a lifetime
We’re so frail to our god’s eye
Due to fail The plan of life
A sprout of death
That makes us feel so Frail
Can’t you see our real weakness
Lays in the hope of a peaceful success?
Are we like stars? We burn and spark
Before collapsing in a blind, desperate dark
