History
In Flames was founded in 1990 as a side project of Jesper Strömblad who was at the time in a death metal band called Ceremonial Oath. Jesper formed In Flames with the purpose of writing songs with a more melodic musical direction, something which he was not allowed to do in Ceremonial Oath. In 1993, Jesper decided to quit Ceremonial Oath due to musical differences and began focusing more on In Flames. That same year, Jesper (guitar, drums, keyboards) recruited Glenn Ljungström (guitar), and Johan Larsson (bass) to form the first official In Flames line-up.
The trio recorded a three song demo and sent it to Wrong Again Records. In order to increase their chances of being offered a record deal, the trio lied to the owner of the record label by telling him that they already had 13 songs done. The owner of Wrong Again Records, seeing promise in the band, offered In Flames a record deal over the phone.

6. In Flames
7. Upon An Oaken Throne
8. Clad In Shadows
1. Behind Space
Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through wordless tounge
Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain
Emptied from all human motion
Confront the faceless wrath
Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space
Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams
Sights of towers reaching for the moon
Clawing at the skies - they gonna pull it down
Intensity - I feel the lava rushing through my veins
Stars are reforming - to enter the fourth dimension
Beyond all galaxies
through timeless eaons of frost
Unearthly hunger - angels descent
We are entering dimensions behind space ...
Beyond all galaxies
through timeless eaons of frost
2. Lunar Strain
For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
For there is a knowledge more complex
Than life on this planet
A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars
Lunar strain
All across the milky way
Life suffers defeat
Life that once was treasured
What once was nothing
Has blossomed into form
Once it was I that was nothing
But now they say I will die
All across the galaxy
Life suffers defeat
Lunar strain
From nothingless to reality
As we see it
From nothingless to life
My dismal tears of anguish
Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
Loneliness is pain
Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain
Serenity is might
Yet we shall be honoured
In the starforsaken night
Astral strain
All around my silent moon
Life suffers defeat
Astral strain
For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
3. Starforsaken
Wipped in the eye by the sand
Malicious have light of day obscured
The sun has burned my skin
Open wounds are licked by sand
To be punished by this vortex of scorn
Wrists and ankles are chained upon this land
Drawn through the desert to be their sacrifice
So this is my golgatha, so this is my grave
The theives, the liars, the hypocrit scum
I'd slay them if I only could
The endless sand, the blackest land
A cyclone of spinecrushing anger
Meant for me
The overlords of the desert
Not one was meant to be
All human force now flee
Rules of anatomy lost
Rage into the extreme
4. Everlost (Part I)
Lights are dim
My tearful windows
Through wich no emotions pass
Starvation of senses claws my soul
Answer me
Are these walls my only shelter
From the bleeding atmosphere
Take me from this land
"I deliver thee from this agony
A storm to cleanse thee"
Mine is the right to be
Maelstrom of the everlost
This is the curse of ...
All is dark
All but one aspect of life
To be shaceled
In a shell, so misleading
"These are the shells bestowed upon me"
Pass into the darkened of the midnight
Sounds, faceless lights
Hands tear apart
Disolve possess
You alone can take my soul
Take flight
5. Everlost (Part II)
Through seven songs of rejoice
His name relives his solar voice
Falling into the unknown
Yet he shall feel no harm
Lights shine upon his face
Night exists no longer
In unknown colours they confront him
In soundless tounge they speak is name
Moonred - reaching for life through eternity
Starblack - the brooding silence is frightening me
One elderly custom in timeless guise
In ceremonies of old one, dove now flies
Fly through time
6. In Flames
Behold the heart of mine in flames
A top the highest mountain
Below the darkest depths
In the valley of hate I wander
My frost bitten heart is set ablaze, set ablaze
Ravage my soul
Plunder my mind
Branded by thunder, fire and ice
Trampled in fury by hordes of the light
I am crushed by the hand of my sky
My sky has forsaken me
Rivers of crimson lead me now
Trail of fire
In a place of fire ethernal
Left in flames
Scattered in a world of thorns
Torn from my earthly self
Aggreived in tears and bitterness
I fall beyond stars, beyond stars
Ravage my soul
Plunder my mind
Branded by thunder, fire and ice
Trampled in fury by hordes of the light
My firey heart is stronger than ever
It's stronger than ever before
My heart in flames
7. Upon An Oaken Throne
"I see then nightshade grow" he spoke
And southern hounds awoke at dawn
Sought for the ever-liquid of our craving
Caught by the all embracing nightly sun
Admass - I laugh at your feeble lies - trash
Hatred in my eyes and in my blood
A scream across the fields - the rivers weep
A vanquished lord upon an oaken throne
Grief inside my flame - grasp at my existence
The seal of dawn is broken - fury
Wildfire
A windswept thought
Out in the perimeter where laughts are
No longer heard, screams no longer seen
And life is always lost
Gaze into the skies for they are blind
Blinded by the nightshade of our lust
Grinded to dust
The wolves are here
The beast of the savage lands
They drink my blood
They feast upon my remains
The tears in their eyes betry
Wildfire
8. Clad In Shadows
Reach for your razor
Cut through the dawn
See through your inner wrath
Keys shan't open the doors
Behold my heart has stopped
My lungs are laid the final rest
And still I see and do I feel
Yes, but to earthly eyes I am gone
To the land where legends never die
Take me to the twilight land tonight
Again and again and again in every night
The darkness climbs through my walls
Ever screaming silent to the corrupted ears
Never to any man I will spear
My speach it has no value
Eyes that have seen the sights
Bleed through the ages eternal
I ask no more
A life has just begun
Never will I see the sun
And do I miss it
No, my eyes are black
Emotions fled through eyelids closed
Throne of thorns
Clad in shadows

1. Stand Ablaze
The time is now
Please tell me how
Set ablaze...
Crying,
Remembering how it used to be
Scarred for eternity
Was it meant to be?
A life in harmony...
Bleeding, regretting...
Solitary life
Committing suicide
Seeking sanctuary
From this world, contrary
Stand Ablaze
Screaming
As the flames caress my face
Stand Ablaze...
2. Everdying
Die
Tragedy, cursing me
Bloodlust, crying, never dying
Bloodlust, crying, never dying
From the cold, shadowed waste
Evil grasped my soul and took my hand
Left alone and filled with desire
A spawn of evil and eternal fire
Timeless, immortal, everlasting hate
Timeless, immortal, everlasting hate
Hate...
Drinking the wine
An act out of love
Consumer of lives
You'll join us tonight...
Behold immortality
A dark eternity
Eternity, eternity...
Drinking the wine
An act out of love
Consumer of lives
You'll join us tonight
3. Subterranean
My tears fall like rain
From the longlasting pain
When I look at your eyes
My heart just dies
Beauty divine
I hope you'll be mine
Open your arms
For all time
All dressed in white
Bringer of light
Spend time with me
All through the night
Beauty divine
Your tears taste like wine
Come to me
For all time
My spine shivers with the touch of your lips...
My pale skin turns red when we kiss...
Piercing your nails deep into my back...
As I slowly kiss your ivory neck...
I started to cry after hours of joyful sin...
My tears turned to roses as they embraced your skin...
I gathered them to a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers...
A bouquet of the most secret and ancient powers...
My amber heart started to glow as I died really slow...
4. Timeless
[Instrumental]
5. Biosphere
Slowly the winter wind tears my skin
Blood freezes in my veins
I wish you were here beside me
To release me from my pain
Last night you promised me
You were still in love with me
Please come set me free
From my misery
I love you
Truth be told
I'm completely numb
It got this way
I don't know how
I just can't figure it out
Please talk to me
What do you want me to be?
Last night you promised me
You were still in love with me
Please come set me free
From my misery
I love you
Truth be told
I'm completely numb
It got this way
I don't know how
I just can't figure it out
Please talk to me
What do you want me to be?
Slowly twists my pride
Freezing as I die
Coldly I fade away
My life cannot be saved
Slowly the winter wind tears my skin
Blood freezes in my veins
I wish you were here beside me
To release me from my pain
Please try to remember me
Lord please send help for me
Trying, can't you see?
Why must this be?
Please talk to me
What do you want me to be?
6. The Inborn Lifeless
Close your eyes and pray the wind will take me far away
Life is like a stone behind my back of a second degree
Start
Life is a feather of fall between the monument tear
Like a powder fragile the one that blows behind the
Faithful dead
All the doors of eternal gray
This weakness take beyond the dream
With a silent void you're left while you can hardly breathe
Vastly they destroy the tears of my lies
Fears are fading away, robbed to face the bitterness
In search for my dear
Castle burries the bite of a queen
Wherever the sorrow rises from distance like a rainbow
I'll be there again, to weep behind with my tears
Heyargh!
Wake me
The second lifeless to be

1. Moonshield
Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground,
Collecting the tragedies still
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
Carried my cross to the hill
And how I lust for the dance and the fire
Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
Spill me the wind and its fire
To steal of the colors - I'm the moonshield
Shattered hope became my guide
And grief and pain my friends
A brother pact in a blood-ink penned
Declare my silent end
Naked an dying under worlds of silent stone
Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone
And how I lust for the dance and the fire
deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
spill me the wind and its fire
to steal of the colors
I'm the... I'm the... I'm the...
I'm the moonshield
2. The Jester's Dance
[instrumental]
3. Artifacts Of The Black Rain
Stood there leaning to the city moon,
casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms
the black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque
in the serpentine sun of tragedy basked
Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass
with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed
splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl
alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world
He cried for night / but night could not come
so, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away
and fed the empty galleries
with the artifacts of the black rain
sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile
He made the footprints a part of his heart
to rouse a sacred confrontation
Stood there carving on the monument to lies
digging of the Earth, making friends with the soil
as the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs
he disappears into her cold, icy womb
4. Graveland
Mankind - proud conqueror and king
swings its flag of primal glory to the winds
Titans of the power-myth that failed
Neanderthal hunger for the flesh of war so frail
So weak, so hollow-minded
the primat flock responds
the jester race submits
For each day of war is a failure for man,
enslaved in her mordial genes
Illusions bleed from their fetid cores,
bent to their rotten extremes
We, the plague of Terra Firma,
nature's grand and last mistake
plant the poisoned seed of cancer,
set the severed fruits awake
Burning like frozen relics
in god's archaic graveland
Burn the visionaire
Kill the ideaologies
Mankind must die
The doves and the angels return to their graves
with flames on their pestilent wings
while mushroom-clouds haunt their virginwhite skies
to rape their utopian dreams
Living the last days of evolution's end
from the nest of humanity, the graveland vultures rend
5. Lord Hypnos
I lie in your soothing arms, lord Hypnos
your garmet alive with your song
I lie in your soothing arms, lord Hypnos
Steep the spiral to your far abode,
in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
and fell like history through the chasm of ages
into the charged, forbidden zones
How I have searched
through a million worlds and faces
yet unaware, I have not found
my own true face, traceless and profound
So, find me in these grandiose halls
where long ago summers eternally fall
and tune the strings of truthful longing
to the frozen music of gods
Hypnagonia's lucid horizons
play with the yearning I've quelled
as I strike towrads the Pantheon
and what therein is held
6. Dead Eternity
I bid you welcome to my world
They call me existence
You have just entered through the gate
to your journey towards eternity
This part I control
In the beginning you'll fear nothing
As I climb beside you
Time will be your master in this laborious part of
human subsistence
This part I control
Black clouds embraces your soul
Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish
When time takes your life
I wil transfer you into the bare grip of thinking tranquillity
Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating
Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness
Nothing can help you now
You'll never be along again
You'll never die again
You'll never be born again
You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity
7. The Jester Race
Rush faster on the one-way lane
the answers so silent
Rusty gods in their machine-minds armours
grind our souls in the millstone of time
the "deathbed harvest" is dead man's banquet
of mould ridden bread and black, poisoned wine
And we go..our steps so silent
And we go..our blooded trace;
The Jester Race
Calling our to the gathered masses;
their answers so silent
And we go..
Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age
that speak of silence and silence alone
Offering the tokens, the reliced idols
to the heirs of the newly raped ground
inferior even to the transparent winds
lesser in motion and sound
And we go..
There is no trace of me
in their altered blueprints of life
Gaia impaled on their horns and lances
to fumes from her body give case
as the throng of blind mind savour the scent,
dream-dead from prosaic and hate
Sunwind strokes the electroheart,
ignition roars through the corridors,
stream launching the binary vessels
Vanities in extreme formations
ride into tomorrow's rigid great face
The Machinery outlives the futile scripts
of our dying jester race
8. December Flower
Towards the rich archaic heavens; towards the lack diorama
you are the artist and the texture
that plays with the mantle of the Earth
When the bleakest of powders
lie rooted to the starched stones
and roots that feed the peaking trees
embrace the sleeping shores
Archaic pearls of sleep and death
the voice of December losing its breath
and the floweryard of whit and grey is haunted
White as the down of flaking snow,
the heroic emblems of life
Green is the color of my death
as the winter-guise I swoop towards teh ground
Green is the landscape of my sorrowfilled passing
We are In Flames,
towards the dead archaic heavens
We are the mantle and the texture
the alters the mantle of the Earth
9. Wayfaerer
[instrumental]
10. Dead God In Me
To slit the grinning wounds
from childhood's seven moons
the palette stained with the ejaculated passions
(of forbidden, hedonistic colors...)
Strike from omnipotence; all-seer, all-deemer
and haunt my severed country with your
dripping, secret games
You pick the unripe lilies
deflored and peeled the bleeding petals
made known to me
the grainy stains, the crimson lotus
of the Black-Ash Inheritance,
the semen feed of gods and masters
The worms still in me,
still a part of me,
racing out from leaking rooms,
swoop from broken lungs to block the transmission
to put an end to the nomad years
Father
you are the
dead god in me

11. Whoracle
1. Jotun
[Strömblad, Gelotte]
I often dream of huge numb buildings
jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice
And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
imagining it's weight it's silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life
and the priviledge of a 22-kilometer tombstone
Jotun
A body of black
that carried no reflection
defying it's own room
un-earthly eggs of decreation
There would be colonies
mushroom-scattered forever out of context
rising spores from a dying world
to pollute to chase away what's left
Sun-white pulverised desert stone
and serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids
rewriting 4500 years of history
raping the statue of liberty
outplays the acropolis
inverting the fjords
invades the N.Y. skyline to
dream it's own existence in one single final word
Jotun
Can we identify them
as the flint buried in our reptile skulls
or the time-bomb coded in our dna
2. Food For The Gods
[Ljungström, Gelotte, Strömblad]
Shame marries the guilt
introduces itself to the
concept of total loneliness
Sensations repressed
make friends with
Suicidia and
here the leeches begin to
suck away the lust for life
Thus
Escape takes lead
into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
where border are erased and potential infinite
Chosen cells glands and transmittors
blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
up to dimension covered with gold
stairs of glowing ectoplasma
safir onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead man banquet
food for the gods
There's only 1 real world
our earth is but a shadow
Created from a child's heart a living jewel
from now on abode for a soul in its setting
Now
sutting the bloodline
re-tie the bleeding roots
to a heavenly ship of glass
and let it drift in passive arrogance
in a one-word dialogue with the stars
3. Gyroscope
[Strombläd]
Geology is digging through
my brain
a manta engulfing the world
to throw it up once again
to a guild of a lifted dagger
Neo-wolf but older again
than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures
A diabolical sequences of stabs
written in cunning stone
from the fossilised of thieves
our lives dies
I see the nursing all-mother
spitting out a trail of termites
in the mouth of her first-born hope
breast ripe with smog-filled rebellion
Apathy dressed in violence
white insectoid legs
curse her lips and mouth
receptive only to pain
4. The Hive
[Gelotte, Strömblad]
April night-tyme
And we run like muscles through the stagnant nodes of man
Blood-bridges lean towards the gaping synapses
to disarms the stars within us
Hornet Hive-dark
Severed wings in vainless beating
buzz out from inferno of fangs
to disarms the stars within us
We should have been
so much more by now
Too dead inside
to even know the guilt
Waning Ring-deep
a halo of thorns
Sips now down in the sheets of sharp silver
to disarm the star within us
5. Dialogue With The Stars
[Gelotte, Strömblad]
[Instrumental]
6. Jester Script Transfigured
[Strömblad]
Cre-age-aeon
new beginning held in infinite vacuum
Biotronic test-world free of inscription
devoid of the echoes of man
noble savage cyborg
In the cold ceremonial perfection
more radiant than the sum of suns
with each and every attribute
of animal machine and man
Dystopia ElectroHeart
the grotesque and the linear
took one final giant blow
into the Ram of
what is us
Installing awaiting the restoration of unsequenced chaos
We've only seen the outlines of the beggining
and this core the slowly moving raptor
will make the very notion of Hell
seem celestial in comparison
7. Morphing Into Primal
[Gelotte, Ljungström, Fridén, Strömblad]
Detonation
Fireworks and alchemy
Genes spliced and triggered
into the future
and her organic cave
Seismorgasmic omnipotence
scenes of magma in my eyes
Eruption stones my system
I owe this to the animal inside
and the stiffness that blocks out the daylight
Morphing into primal
I'll cover every particle
from there to Andromeda
not forgetting a single location
from the throat of Ibis
to the co-ordinate of Matterhorn
My shot is genesis and catharsis
Penetratonaut in a cosmology of lust
Suck this subterrenean creature out
and show it proudly to the house of heaven
With one slight wave of my hand
star dissolves
Dissolve my brain
Block my lungs
I'll die from fever tomorrow
when locked in sych a perfected "now"
8. Worlds Within The Margin
[Ljungström, Strömblad]
Raindrop hits the leaf changing it's position slightly on the street
next to polls of monotonous waters He walks Slipping feet from
steps at random He falls
In the space of between his body and the ground
comets cast off their names stellar neurones misfire
Witnesses
inhale the seed
and spit out a million branches
Buds abloom in all directions
frin which events occur
relations and virused meetings
catch fire and explode
In the margin of butterfly wings
entire cycles of evolution
outplayed and faded
sparked away and leaned back into
vacuum-filled nirvana
Between the two of my eyes
feverish fractal scar
Dance like were they on drugs
peyote labyrinth re-mapped exits
A hasty blink
and a million life-to-comes
will never be the same
as they never were
In the kinetic energy of a moving fist
lies a birth-machine for a parallel universe
With the first movement in organic scap
came a bouquet of alternative answers
all different multiplied and re-divided
Coded in the spinal cord of a trilobite
written between the legs on the Meganeura
suburban city maps and dormant dictator semen
marked their way through time
9. Episode 666
[Strömblad]
Welcome here, the squirrel-wheel begins
fasten the left hand belts
Remember not to think too much
and your trip will be numbingly pleasant
Non-caring is the easiest way
but to secure a passage to the 2nd plane
you have to complete level one
Their dead-smile lips turn on their TV
while urban gravestones scrape the skies
Rising over marionette cities and marionette skies
This is episode 666
destination chaos
Each and all an actor blind
10. Everything Counts
[Martin Lee Gore - Original by Depeche Mode]
The handshake
Seals a contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract:
Still intact
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

1. Embody The Invisible
I demand nothing, but I want it all
What privilege do we have under the sun,
That gives us the right to the throne?
Species come and go, but the earth stands forever fast
All river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full
To discover the loneliness and be to proud to show the wounds
Will forever wander alone through the years
But I won't let you near
Begging for you to understand
The fear that lives in my soul
Which is an untouched spring
Read, what is written on the silent mouth
What is written in the soul
For which is written in the shining silence
We all have to read
My body will be bent from the burdens
When the shaking floor of life-force
Reveal its chasm underneath
If only one could be two steps ahead
2. Ordinary Story
Egoism dictates human relations
A world where fashion outshines morality
Here success is written in blood-red colours
Designed by the thirst for power
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
An all to ordinary story
With aftertaste so bitter
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself. sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web
A time represented by the void
An excuse without content
Stuck in the abyss of existence
With a content void of excuse
An all to ordinary story
This is my story
With an aftertaste so bitter
Sinking deeper down
I'm caught - I'm cage
I'm gone
3. Scorn
I parish and nobody will know
As my mouth remains still
My heart awaits me. filled with gravel
As the pain grows with each touch
Since I marked her out from my tower
Reality focused through forbidden lenses
She owns enough of preciousness
A penalty given by the source
But I still have no choice through
The hinderens freighten
A labyrinth closing at the edge of space
But they never allow
She's shut... for all beings but one
I give, I scorn, I threat
4. Colony
In your world, the day is no threat
In my world, there is an absence of light
"Genetic superior cell" controlled
By the fathomless and unbearable
A radical new Form of plastic and rage
Biologically optimized
But with a strangling pulse
In your world, you find me worthy
In my world, I "parashoot" my life
A virtual drugstore populated
By the fathomless and unbearable
Machine, meat and blood
In an intimate relationship
The new - superior -
More effective than all the preceding
When we can no longer
Cry and reality is torn
Then it's easy to forget
That the responsibility lies on us all
In your world, the night is no threat
In my world, the darkness
Transforms to a vision of hell
Populated by fathomless and unbearable
5. Zombie Inc
Truth serves them embrace
And defend her case
Part flattery, part threats
"For those who cling to this
Dominion will partake in its fall"
With his silence, he passes the
Judgement over them
"With your feverish signs of force
You'll make them and yourself to
Believe that he still retains his full power"
As a platform for divine foundations,
You want to make them suck
Shallowness and beauty
Was all that concerned her body
But the soul, her divine guest
Were thrust to the bottom
Surrendered to the sect
That has risen from its womb
"For those who cling to this
Dominion will partake in its fall"
6. Pallar Anders Visa
[Instrumental]
7. Coerced Coexistence
I'll take you on a ride
As a part-owner to my pain
Our ideals they collide
Coerced coexistence
I fought the world today - postpone my birth again
We stumble on and one - but bound to die alone
Pine - I'm selling my soul today
Pine - I need some sympathy
This infiltrates my brain
"In the sunshine the sun is mine"
Pitiless wanderer
Close your eyes and bow your head
Grotesque thoughts in a line
Threw my wings ånto the blazing sun
Smile stretched on old trees
Eternal Brining jester masque
Don't hurt a fly they all sing
We're just ants in a great big play
Commercialize-infect-annihilate-progress
Visualize-inhale-pretend-betray
8. Resin
A sad song it was,
Through renewal it brought
And a month seems sometimes shorter
Than a half nights longing
Hidden and hard are the reasons for war
Polar twist, invert and flea
I can't dissolve this feeling of mine
But patience will unlock the door
And the maps of reasons re-written for me
When the wait is over and the punishment is due
Each day I crawl to the hall of the giants
And I beg for mercy -
And I beg for mercy in vein
One night is a mare - two is worse
How can I manage three?
9. Behind Space '99
Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through wordless tongue
Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain
Emptied from all human motion
Confront the faceless wrath
Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space
Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams
Sights of towers reaching for the moon
Clawing at the skies - they gonna pull it down
Intensity - I feel the lava rushing through my veins
Stars are reforming - to enter the fourth dimension
Beyond all galaxies
Through timeless aeons of frost
Unearthly hunger - angels descent
We are entering dimensions behind space
10. Insipid 2000
Should I defend you for who you are?
The laws are changed and useless!
On their way to a deserted town
Where empty windows wave goodbye
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
I'm changed by the shock
And the weight of the punch
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
Fragments of a futile being
A puzzle to the noble ones
Ignorant and pitiless they stride
The world around me -
Spartanic, minimalistic
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
The large scale plan that once where
You've now drained from life
A helpless excuse, a falling reality
Wo knows the proper reasons
Why it all begins and ends?
Ignorant and pitiless they stride
"You are but a form",
The clean, harsh silence passes
"Genuine" visions by the noble
Ones for the noble ones
11. The New Word
The great word of blessendness
And a feeling of ease
A cup of the well of freedom
And life we joyfully drink
Inside, all was new, but outwards
Nothing had changed
An escapade,
Then to the altar to
Evaluate all parts
Of the great mystery
But all remains
On the same spot,
No signs of a new season
In my hand is a new word,
But the word is still
Without a body
A hidden life-stream that
Swells in the deep
Will soon give the word
A 2nd face

1. Bullet Ride
Do you feel anything at all?
Do you hear steps at the door?
Do you reckon the smell of....?
It's life-the the dark that binds you
Frightened by your own smell
Bitterness will run you through
Silent screaming
Turning, twisting the alphabet
Frantic eyes
Awaiting the answer
Splinters of a poem
Fragments of what you used to be
Habitual and gullible
Run-down memoirs is all that's left
Do you wish to sleep?
Do you aim for the shadow?
Do you feel infected?
It's life-the the dark that binds you
It's the cowardice that pulls you under
And takes you to the end, where it begins
Release, the world is waiting on your arrival
Close your eyes, as we witness another bullet ride
Do you know about atrocity?
Do you that everybody's gone?
Do you know that you're on your own?
It's life-the the dark that binds you
2. Pinball Map
As I aim for that bright white day
Conflict serum is my aura
It seems that life's so fragile
I guess I'll fly some other time
I lack from superhighway thoughts
Won't live as long as the city lights
Soaked by underwater times
Electric splash on a midnight drive
Wish I could rape the day,
just something radical
Lost the sense of sweet things
Who's gonna take me widely?
Guided by the pinball map
The driver, still unknown to me
Who was sent to glorify?
Before we injected this common pride
Sometimes I don't belong
Release me from your world
Pacified by the small things in life
I wait for earthquakes to rearrange
Never been able to use the force
I only have it read to me
Despite all the misguided faith
(Maybe) I'll find a place in this mess
Early morning moments
A glimpse of joy
But soon it's over and I return to dust
As I try to be
Everything and everyone
I shrivel up and waste away
3. Only For The Weak
I can't tolerate your sadness
Cause it's me you are drowning
I won't allow any happiness
Cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guilty, I feel so guilty
Am I forced to have any regret
I've become the lie, Beautiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me
Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak
No need for sympathy, The misery that is me
I've lost the ability to pain the clouds
Cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
Cause everytime you run, I fall.. Behind, I fall behind
And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the lie
Sell me to infection, it is only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
Sell me to infection, it is only for the weak
On bleeding knees, I accept my fate
4. ...As The Future Repeats Today
For so long I tried to be like you,
Pushed aside with no time to evolve..
There's no place that still remains
Just deserted space all left in grey
Why did we lose, the knowledge of time?
Is this the price, the hell we pay?
The poisoned fear known to man
is he who try to find his path
The collective force blaming you
"This is day day we split in half"
Thrown to the gallow, forgotten and sore
sworn to be different in what way I can
The sultry taste that is special to me
is the last gleeful glimpse of a bitter man
Down and troubled, in search for better days
Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again
All my time, compressed to itching moments
as the future repeats today
So impressed, lost the faith in all I had
Broken down, I'm on my way to be dissolved
The hopes and prays of things to come
I've lost them all with glory
Urgent to aim for that short-lived joy
I see gold in all that lies before me
And so we ignore the baggers cup
Praise your act in the Grand Finale
Teach the unborn the winners sign
a welcome grin to the world Royal
Down and troubled, in search for better days
Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again
All my time, compressed to itching moments
as the future repeats today
Down and troubled, in search for better days
Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again
All my time, compressed to itching moments
as the future repeats today
5. Square Nothing
For all the times you left me bleeding
Clouded, weakened by the haze
Cut of my pride, enough to forgive
Reconcile, back to square nothing
It seems I lost my direction
Don't have the strength to let it slip
Have no desire for the shore
Just let me play here for some time
Spend some quality time with the demon of mine
I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win
Is this how I want to spend my days?
Shadowed, it fears me, my utopia
Try to find some peace to destroy
These are my sins, I'm heading to fall
Never understood though I accepted
All the weakness that I discover
You gave me a place to hide and lost the key
Drowned my head just to see it sink (to the bottom)
Spend some quality time with the demon of mine
He said "I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win"
Spent some quality time with my borrowed smile
The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me
Spent some quality time with the demon of mine
I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win"
Spent some quality time with my borrowed smile
The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me
6. Clayman
Your self control makes me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection, a mess without words
(And) As the seasons change I'll continue to ignore
The image I project - me without me
The picture that I scanned is borrowed
After the education you stopped making sense to me
Seems to me that it's all the same, time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural art
Spending to much time with myself
Trying to explaining who I am
How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
(Suddenly) I feel so invincible
I'm the sculpture made out of clay
I need someone to break the silence
before it all falls apart
I need something to cling onto
before I break you in parts
So afraid of what you may think
And all the plastic people that surrounds me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatural art
7. Satellites And Astronauts
Since the day of my departure
I've been stumbling through reality
I play my symphony in reverse
In search for that special path
Be gentle to the tear in this I
Lonesome arms, lost its wings again
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
I can see the end from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Make me feel like a man
A silent cry from the middle of hell
I - the irony - I promise, I'll be mature
So please, invite me to your shelter again
Been hiding since I heard "never"
Take me back to yesterday, I need to grow
Steal my mask and make me pay
I need a new skin
I'm going insane
8. Brush The Dust Away
In the most desolate corner
A bad case of the urban blues
Another brick in the living shadow
All inhale the downward spiral
Hey, get in line for tragic
Let us dance to the pistol magic
Just aim and end another
But think, as I rape your mother
Another player joins the table
Who I can or cannot trust
When do we get assigned?
Pure and precious with bad intentions
Hey, come and join the show
All the cameras are ready to go
Just aim and end another
But think, as I rape your mother
A single step - a garbled life
Where's the profit?
Your rage - the pain
Will it all be worth it?
Genetic, it seems to be....
Abandon, the mass ideal
Lets re-unite and brush the dust away
We think we're in control then we become the things we hate
Lets re-unite and brush the dust away
Obtain a prosperous future
and the admiration of all
Act in "the sensations" media hour
All inhale the downward spiral
9. Swim
As we build a brand new planet
Let's reconstruct and get it straight
Unlock forgotten skills
Travel to a new dimension
Solace from the dark seduction
(Take heed) we are the new invention
We're the settlers of year zero
Let's reconstruct and take it back
Leaders of our time
Heading for a downfall
The threshold of revolution
(Take heed) the last freedom call
Blanked out fire etched on the crystal display
The sees are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb
Collect the word, add some gold and give it back
The sees are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb
From a thousand branches
Spreading the new voice
As we're heading for the throne
Connect, evolution will begin
10. Suburban Me
The self-inflicted state of mind
A one-man struggle beneath the tower
I think the clock still exist
god just forgot to tap my shoulder
I woke up today
I wish I felt something
The odour of my apathy
just might be true
I want to be the things I see
The pilgrim that is me
But I know I ain't that free
The suburban me
Spirits rise and miss the eye
Covered by the stench of judgment
As gods reflection test my pride
I serve the failure that's haunting me
Twisted visions torturing
Who claims to be the one?
That filtered smile
just might be true
"On half-speed, tonight I suffer
Satisfaction brings the unheeded"
Can you hear the message,
as I wrestle with the clouds?
I'm on the way to succumb,
It just might be true
11. Another Day In Quicksand
The other side of the platinum door
another day in quicksand
Still feel close to nowhere
I hope this is the right way
How come you see me as an enemy?
We just think in different words
I see beauty in dead flowers
I let the tide show me what's next
But all you do is fade away
There's no shame in being the fool
I've been to places you'll never find
The empty plate that you call home
Won't bring glimmer to future years
By myself, staring into space
You're just bored of the silence it makes
12. World Of Promises
[TREAT COVER SONG]
They come from a land were the sun don't shine
running away from the cold
They travel so far in the name of love
hoping the dreams will come true
Walking the way through endless fields
trying to make it together
Troubled within ever sinking kiss
Just like the full to fall in love
And they will give anything
just to be free from the pain
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Lost in the city wondering why
no one will open the door
It's more to the truth than meets the eye
something they all felt before
And they will give anything
just to stand tall once again
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
In the tan of the nigh can hear them crying
out for a life to hol on to
Somebody knows were the answers lying
wait for your trails and don't let go
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
13. Strong & Smart
[NO FUN AT ALL cover song]
One lie was all it took everything ended right there
You didn't seem to care One lie
I walked away weight on my shoulders was heavy
Barrel to my head
Will you give me a good excuse
Will you let me die right here and now ?
I can't think of another way
But I'm open to any good advice
Everything is falling apart
Trying hard to be strong and smart
One day was all it took
Start to get back on my feet heart begin to beat
One week I'm feeling great dancing around in the street
Feeling young and free
Will you give me a good excuse
Will you let me die right here and now ?
I can't think of another way
But I'm open to any good advice
Everything is falling apart
Trying hard to be strong and smart

1. Reroute To Remain
[Verse:]
It started as a whisper
Now try to dodge this roar
Unified, the most forceful way to go
Waste this one?
It's up to you!
We need this revolution
Destroy the pattern
Anything that separates
Across the times.
Who dares to follow?
[Pre-Chorus:]
For years we wandered these circles
Hold onto whatever lie gets us through
[Chorus:]
Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss
Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect
Reroute to Remain
Reroute to Remain
[Verse:]
Never want, to look back in greed
Can I please have your attention?
There are mountains to cross
For all that are willing
There a never ending treasures
That await you
2. System
[Verse:]
I cannot frame, that's why I lose control
I aim, I stumble and I fall
Our adaptation can't be faithful
Your world does not attract me
This is the end you see
There is no more truth in me
As if you would deserve it
You are my enemy
I can't ignore the way you make me bleed
I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall
Got to wake up and make a stand
The desperation forces another mistake
I count again
I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane?
[Pre-Chorus:]
Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Don't let these words tear you down
You see me hanging
By the end of the rope
I tell you...
[Chorus:]
Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you
[Verse:]
I blame and run, sadly all too often
I dive into the day without your sympathy
I tend to try but lack the focus
Becoming a distant memory
What once was is quickly forgotten
All wrapped up inside
Delete all resemblance
I feel your relief
3. Drifter
It's hard to believe
You could be such a disease
I can no longer separate what is real
Hope that fate will find me safe
All my reflections laugh at me
You made me hide my name
It just feels bad to say,
That there'll be another day
[Pre-Chorus:]
What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
[Chorus:]
What you wanted is a mystery to me
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
Building a room with no doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the last few drops
Falling into infinity
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
4. Trigger
[Verse:]
Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What's the latest on the screen?
Can't be too late to turn around
I need all the help from you
I need to find
Something to blame for a long lost time
[Pre-Chorus:]
I am running from something that I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what's real
I'm running in a wheel
[Verse:]
Is it dark or is it bright?
What's the latest on the screen?
Please tell me my name
I haven't checked it today
[Chorus:]
From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today 'cause there's only a few
A sign of times my friend
[Verse:]
My friend avoid infinity
Are you for real?
Just scratch the surface
And you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time
5. Cloud Connected
[Verse:]
People like you
You live in a dream world
You despise the outside
And you fear you're the next one
It's in your dream
There's just one question
Should I kill?
Or should I be left behind?
Sick and tired
Of all your complaints
This is the hour
We bring it down
[Chorus:]
I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected
[Verse:]
You seem to be
So introverted
How come we fail?
With all that is given?
You crossed the line
You remembered my name
Time runs backwards
As we're heading that way
6. Transparent
Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able
To go in any direction
So take the uncertain path
[Pre-Chorus:]
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself
[Chorus:]
Secrets left above the grave (It's not for one to keep)
You're all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)
You know you're lost when you feel transparent
[Verse:]
Be at one with the wind
Even if it's a struggle
Make this your priority
Open all your senses
To new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished
7. Dawn Of A New Day
[Verse:]
The thoughts of yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win
[Chorus:]
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this
[Verse:]
Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve
8. Egonomic
[Verse:]
A mass illusion
Blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline
A stranger's contribution
Everybody's on the run
No clue where they are heading
A spineless attempt
Have we lost it completely?
It always ends up in a mess
[Chorus:]
A liar's ambition
Praised like a king
Every day in every way
We are getting weaker
You won't go far
With the life that you're living
Every day in every way
We are getting weaker
[Verse:]
Slow and calculated
Afraid of the sleeping
We'll never ever reach the goal
9. Minus
[Verse:]
Drug me, infiltrate my never land
Like the floodtide drowning the shore
Drug me, you're all over me
Watch my blood begin to boil
I love that lullaby
Start me up again
Electric spine
Open mind
[Pre Chorus:]
I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
[Chorus:]
Inhale the light
Relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight
[Verse:]
Please me, deliver the insane
In the chaos I find peace
Please me, remind the gods of my name
I believe there is one seat left for me
10. Dismiss The Cynic
[Verse:]
Will we find a solution
When we add all the numbers?
Like they are supposed to be?
But no is close... Start all over!
If we fail our expectations
We will fall into the deepest void
Is there a limit to how many times
We will dust ourselves off?
[Chorus:]
The mystery of time
Listen to me, carefully
The mystery of time
It's you and me
That's all we need
[Verse:]
Would you choose supremacy
If it led to isolation?
Could you handle the solitude?
Would you still prefer the throne?
11. Free Fall
[Verse:]
Mirror Mirror
How far will I go?
Despite the foundation I am falling
Sweet reflection
Will you save a place for me?
Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what?
I am punished could I ever repent?
Mother Nature, I'm wide open
Waiting for you to move me
Don't keep it from me
This is a free fall
[Chorus:]
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It's like I'm living a lie
[Verse:]
Father time every time I stop and feel
You're there to tell me I'm already late
12. Dark Signs
[Verse:]
Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied
Everything points in the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left, the faintest laughter
[Chorus:]
We're out of focus, we've lost control
I blame our ego and you call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide
[Verse:]
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone
13. Metaphor
[Verse:]
You stole my pure intention
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You taught me to be sad at you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
[Chorus:]
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
You think you can show me how I've come this far
I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry
14. Black & White
[Verse:]
I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you
You say that you have no regrets
But I know that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too
[Chorus:]
I've come to the conclusion, yes I know
That between black and white
There is no room for two
The scale it might be wide
But there's no need to be blind
Between black and white there is no room for two
[Verse:]
I leave all the grey behind
I see clear, I know that I'll find
You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who ain't
You think that you're going to be saved
There's no such thing as a saint
Black and White
There's nothing in between
Black and White
Nothing's what it seems

As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But it takes a lot to be specific
Cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again a moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I ran as I saw the end
Should I have joined the fight instead
Hope you are listening cause now times have changed
I take a look around
I say this moments mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
2. The Quiet Place
Spinning further, deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world
..and then I close my eyes
..and then I close my eyes
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place so much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars, the quiet place
All the bridges fall to the ground and you say you sacrificed
..and then I close my eyes
..and then I close my eyes
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place so much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, Bow down, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place so much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
3. Dead Alone
I'll always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results
I will never enter your heaven
Make the most of my dirty cell
Creeps infected by control
That's what put me in here
Dig deep don't think you ever get to the place where they buried me
The last glimpse that I have
Fragments, pieces of some things valuable
Even though it doesn't make sense anymore
I release my last year
The cold worms and me
We are all right
We are free
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
New world I hide
Where there are only my bones
Please put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn
The darkness disappears
Don't release these chains
Never been closer to myself
All your mistakes run though
As I realize what we become
The end is here to bid farewell
I'll turn to ash and hear them sing
Songs about my emotions dead and alone
Don't make an effort you don't know me anything
My frustration, my conversation, why are we even here?
The abuse that we use I do not longer care
The cold worms and me
We are all right
We are free
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
New world I hide
4. Touch Of Red
Reaching depth of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this
I should be on the top of the world
Is anybody out there like me?
I followed something's missing
Self control Forcing me down
Whispers consume the air
Above her I'm endless
When the rain comes falling
I'll freeze I'm so afraid
When things start to flood me
I will drown in seconds
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
As If I ever had a choice
All in the hands of the energy
Once again feel the quicksand swallow me
Tonight = I won't struggle
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
The weak in me should know I'm as sober as I could be
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
5. Like You Better Dead
I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn
I think you're way too cold
Just watch and learn
I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you better dead
And I'm better off alone
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
Your vision may be in colour, but you look all pale
In these times we should be learning, but with you I'll always fail
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
I need to save myself before I drown
It took so long to see
The world your mind creates
It pushes me under
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
6. My Sweet Shadow
I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside
An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go
Tamed with confidence of a brighter future
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade
Burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, Dark past lies cold
For you I look no more
7. Evil In A Closet
We were one in words
You finished my sentence
I could never attract tomorrow
It pushes me aside
I sink in waters deep
Your presence kept me floating far from depths where secrets lie
Maybe in another lifetime I can be the first you meet
I once read a poem
Held my breath but that moment's gone
First time I felt life somewhat hurts
I need an option, a reason and some hope
Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking, and I might fall
I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet
Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet
8. In Search For I
It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness
Make the pictures fade
Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I will be
The sentence is light
But my eyes see a different world
And all I do is turn into flames
Will time open my vault
New solution, I'm begging
Break the fuse that holds me back
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
Distract, push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into
It's getting old
Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a re-make
To make up for my mistakes
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?
What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M,
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
9. Borders And Shading
You Took a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain
Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminded by the tattered tissue
Bleak silence
Errors stigmatized in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way (Save yourself)
10. Superhero Of The Computer Rage
I am the past, Future
I've been chosen
You think it's over
But I'm ready to go
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
I am a surprise
Even to myself I'm a genius
Superhero of the computer rage
In plastic I'll bury
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure you that die in time
I am the maggot
In your infected life
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave without a scar
I am a legend
In your infotainment life
It's when I say "it's over"
It's you who's been chosen
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you die in time
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you're dead
11. Dial 595-Escape
Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The other side I crawl
You push me out, I fall
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfilment
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
12. Bottled
I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I am there
Like the time around me
This room is filled with nothing
Fell awkward in a place with many
Leave this space to me
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
Still and breathless
I don't care what's behind
To you I look for energy
To catch my breath again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I'm in circles again
The world looks old to me
Tonight I drink myself sober
Soon this could be over
Tale a picture of the pale
New morning knocking
Feels just like always
Pen down my regrets
I reach to you again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I'm in circles again
13. Discover Me Like Emptiness
I run this world alone
A song stuck in my mind
Are you feeling alright?
Don't mind if you ask me once
Discover me like emptiness
A defense for a broken heart
Still offers a smile to the world betrayed...
[Pre Chorus:]
Always close to the drop
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall
[Chorus]:
Blame me...
Escape me...
Well it's you who walked away
Tie me...
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you
Could never stand the middle
Want to go far and further
But something drags me down
Shapes me...
Forms me... into dillusion...
As I bank other options
Make this picture distant
Signing off
Leave me alone
I blur you into... the never...

1. Take This Life
It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And curse my fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
The echo calls my name
[Pre chorus:]
If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see. Make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
[Chorus:]
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
The rain drops just beg to hit me
What now? Hasn't rained for days
No time to play hide-and-seek
I call on you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn all my efforts
In the end it means nothing
[Pre chorus]
[Chorus]
[x2]
These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts, will keep me free and
[Pre chorus]

2. Leeches
Leeches.
Like leeches
"In ignorance we trust"
If you say this way, I'll take that way
Fuel for the fire on which I thrive
Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech (I know)
You'll be forgotten and gone
It burns, it rips, it hurts
Leeches, they preach to us
Words of wisdom from blocked minds
Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech (I know)
You'll be forgotten and gone
It burns, it rips, it hurts
They make you believe your turn
The chance of a lifetime,
How does it feel to be alive?
A tear for the poet that can't be heard
(And) praise the artist that steals
3. Reflect The Storm
Shot for shot
Many bullets penetrate me
Embrace me
Tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice
Pierce the walls that I've built
Your eyes reach deep in me
Take a chance
They don't come much bigger than this
Dark star spend another day with me
A dead surface that doesn't reflect
The storm underneath
Take the chance
Bring me the calm
...And it leaves nothing
Expose the dark side,
Aching and emotional,
Expose the dark side,
Impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Throw yourself into the eye of chaos
Infiltrate me,
Sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try and find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really...
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
... And it leaves nothing
Expose the dark side, aching and emotional
Expose the dark side, impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really...
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really...
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
4. Dead End
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time
[Chorus:]
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
It's the next disaster!
What decides when you've lost the war
When the first man falls?
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed my life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
[Chorus]
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame
Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster! [2x]
5. Scream
We are ordinary people,
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in different lies
We just live in different lies! [x2]
They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens
Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?
They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens
Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?
We are ordinary people,
In a world build on stress
When we build walls around us
We end up in a mess
6. Come Clarity
Rushing through thirty
Getting older every day... by two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Can you add color... inside these lines?
[Chorus x2:]
I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Don't want to live
In a dream... one more day
Sure it would change my perspective
I'm certain I would change today
I'm certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?
I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day [x2]
7. Vacuum
The yesterday we loved speak of tomorrow.
The burden of man is that time never takes a pause.
We live from Monday to Sunday but we forget what it means.
Then a ghost comes to visit and we tell stories from tabloids.
Call all your friends,
Watch fake photos
From a made up vacation.
Speaking in tongues about ancient artifacts.
We steal from beggars and ask for understanding
We lie, rape, steal and murder to make tonights headlines
Thanks
Nat
Trust the system,
Make your contribution,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get the stronger they become.
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Lie, rape, steal and murder,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
Gather in front of the TV.
Exploding sympathy.
The weatherman, our trust,
Our punctual company.
We steal from beggars and ask for understanding,
We lie, rape, steal and murder to make tonights headlines
Trust the system,
Make your contribution,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get the stronger they become.
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Lie, rape, steal and murder, smile, applaud, love, hail.
Listen in a silence, hear a voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence, hear a voice
Before it all crumbles
8. Pacing Deaths Trail
Compassion.
Confession.
It's all a compromise.
Dedication.
Domination.
Please define the lines.
Irritation.
Innovation.
Paired up to succeed.
Totalization.
Termination.
Fake smiles and greed.
Surrender to nothing.
Or run, as far as you can
I'm trying to hold on to what I believe in,
But my heart is in a coma!
Aggression.
Attention.
A need to be seen.
Directed.
Disrespected.
Stand in a line to be thankful
OBSCENE
Surrender to nothing.
Or run, as far as you can
I'm trying to hold on to what I believe in,
But my heart is in a coma!
9. Crawl Through Knives
The black hole forever mine.
I need fear.
Push me out
Oh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.
Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation
It's in my hands.
The sky is so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.
Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Touch the new
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.
10. Versus Terminus
When all is said and done
We'll know what's right, what's wrong
But does it matter then
When all is said and done
When all is dead and gone
We'll know who lost, who won
But does it matter then
When all is dead and gone
See everything go
End of all things
The life that we know
Shift your point of view
You've been warned
This one way ticket is for you
When all the lights go out
We know what life's about
But does it matter then
When all the lights go out
When all that's left is lies
We'll see nothingness and realize.
But does it matter then
When all that's left is lies?
11. Our Infinite Struggle
In a disaster story
A central conflict of primal rage
Usual sort of desperation
Characters remain the same
Never cut you out,
I cut you in
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too
Walk on broken glass
Is the pain safe at the end?
All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite
Never cut you out,
I cut you in
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too
All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite
Never cut you out,
I cut you in
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too
(I cut you in)
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts as I cut you in
12. Vanishing Light
Vanishing light
The end of a compromise
In fury, in rage
A dream will diminish
Behind enemy lines
Learn to survive
Find a way to clone
Make friends and a place to call home
Take a picture and jump before we crash [x2]
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
You're on the easy route
Money up front?
There's no doubt
Take a picture and jump before we crash [x2]
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
It's so sad
But pay no mind!
Take a picture and jump before we crash [x2]
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
13. Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone
Find time and play with innocence
Like you ever would
I don't see you make any sense
I guess you deliver misery
Just like you should
1 o'clock and you paint the skies grey
It's not your fault We're the ones who betray
But how can you say it with such ease
You want to take a stand or just wanna please
Your bedtime story is scaring everyone
But you make me understand
The evil that man do
The evil that man do

1. The Mirror's Truth
This spectacle, our collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in.
I guess, we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth
Should I join the feast?
Should I acknowledge the leash?
The future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be.
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this light explode.
The bleeding, we deceive them
Fuel the life that fades
At the height of reason
We should live by your laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope.
[x2]
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear
2. Disconnected
Look at the dead outside my window
Wonder what's on their mind?
Why do they run?
They all seem to have a mission
But then they cry themselves to sleep
[Chorus:]
You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something
Is this all you meant to be?
There are marks in the pavement
You've walked this route too many times
What if I changed the signs?
Would you even take notice?
[Chorus]
Is this all you have to give?
So... March... Straight jacket union...
So... March...
In chains - surrender
[Chorus x2]
3. Sleepless Again
Hopeless times approach
Just give into the chaos
Strangely I find comfort here
Impatient and curious of what may come
...And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win
[Chorus:]
Drain Me
Keep me in the dark
I don't want to take part
Prefer to be forever numb
Nothing great can come out of this
But I'm hostage to myself
I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge
And I fear I'll realize when it's too late
...And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win
[Chorus]
Sleepless again
I need to ease my mind
And kill what burns inside
Sleepless again
I can't win
[Chorus]
4. Alias
The serpent knows,
When the curtain falls,
With denials blindfold,
He greets another day
[Chorus:]
Don't believe the mask
It adapts to any lie,
A perfect ten,
When reality caves in
Don't tell me,
Tell my ghost,
'cause I blame him
For all I don't want to know
I found secrets about life's undertow
Life's wrapped in a riddle,
Easier said than done,
Way to play the victim,
Just run and hide.
[Chorus]
Let them take me far away
Crawl back in place,
It's easier to cope behind the curtain,
Wipe the worries away
No thought about the consequence
[Chorus]
Let them take me far away
5. I'm the Highway
I am my deepest shadow,
Something I can't ever neglect,
Rise above these ashes,
Or fall and fade away
In dark moments, I know better,
Within destruction, I see clearly
[Chorus:]
From here to new grounds,
Suppose I will do it alone,
With a smile through black design
Fearless of your conviction
Staring into truth, I am the highway,
Existence, care for me in all
Your everlasting complications
In dark moments, I know better
Within destruction, I see clearly
[Chorus]
Forget the promised land,
There was never an invitation,
Today I create my own,
Before there was sorrow
And lack of attention
[Chorus]
6. Delight And Angers
Everyday takes figuring out how to live,
Sometimes it feels like a mistake,
Sometimes it's a winner's parade,
Delight and angers,
I guess that's the way it's supposed to be...
[Chorus:]
Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable,
Lie and set me free
I feel the fear take hold
Afraid this hell I create is my own
Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore,
This used to be my own world,
But now I've lost control
[Chorus]
Chasing leftovers,
Under the fading sun,
Searching for shelter,
I feel my time has come
[Chorus]
7. Move Through Me
Consume the curse
That brings you down
(A fading liar)
Who wakes up alone
It's there
In front of you
[Chorus:]
Invert this tragedy to come
And reclaim your future
This is a call to arms
One quest at a time
Feed the hunger,
Climb on up
Repress the negative
You are not alone
It's there
In front of you
[Chorus]
Avoid the mould
Desperate you regress
Move through me
I'll be your triumph
[Chorus]
8. The Chosen Pessimist
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on
(Who is friend or foe?)
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying (slowly)
In many ways I'm the burden that devides us from the light
In many ways you're the halo that keeps my spirit alive
Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase the free will and watch me heal
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying...
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here
But as the chosen pessimist
I carve my name in stone
I carve my name in stone
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith I'm dying...
9. Sober And Irrelevant
Used to be original,
But now I tremble in fear
I am like everyone else
And that buries me
Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten?
[Chorus:]
I've become the distance,
I am the sober and irrelevant,
I don't feel but in this,
What is there to believe?
I'm not asking for much, just a moment
A chance to pick up the pieces
Happiness, please, come home
What if it ends right here
How do I change it?
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way
[Chorus]
Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten?
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way
[Chorus]
10. Condemned
I'm so restless,
These walls drain my thoughts
Room 307
I can't find my way out
It used to be my home
These days, far from my comfort zone
Alive but without control...
Fear is taking hold
I should cross the line
Confront like the blind
[Chorus:]
Hear a distant cry...
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
And discover the living?
I don't recognise my soul
Condemned to live in this black hole
Deep within time... and crave what is mine.
[Chorus]
I should cross the line...
Confront like the blind
Hear a distant cry...
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
It's a hill to climb
Would you dream if I,
Design the future
Not the end of time
11. Drenched In Fear
You won't
Find a friendly face in the crowd,
It's quite amusing to see how you suffer
I refuse, to let you steal my daylight,
Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage
I've seen you kill many dreams,
But I got brand new armour,
And your weapons are way out of reach
How does it feel to be demolished,
Vaporized into thin air?
Strange new feeling to be nothing.
[Chorus]
All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2]
All drenched in fear,
And the hate you bring
Make me bother, I dare you,
I've got the strength I need,
But I'll await my darkest moment,
When the guilt doesn't get to me.
[Chorus x2]
12. March To The Shore
I used to adore you
The lies made sense somehow
Gave myself away without a fight
But the betrayal claims its price
At first I was scared
Not used to a murder's mind
But there was something beautiful
So powerful, so definite, so divine
Pushing the faith
Build out of rage
[Chorus:]
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer!
Is it something that's always been there?
Was it destined to leave its cage?
I'm glad we met though
I love to release the rage
But everything has its end
And I've done my deed
The final bullet - always meant for me
Pushing the faith
Build out of rage
[Chorus]
But everything has its end
And I've done my deed
The final bullet - always meant for me
[Chorus x2]
13. Eraser
[Japanese Bonus Track]
Consume, just like a worm,
Catch a glimpse of the sun through cracks,
Everything, I swallow whole,
And hide before the flood.
The way I see things,
I wish they could be true,
But take me all the way.
The trail of the torment,
Is not a path anymore,
But take me for a ride.
Delete the past, the fear,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.
Afraid of lost control,
Still there's a part of me that wants to feel insecure,
Afraid of lost control,
It keeps me on the edge.
Delete the past, the fear,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.
The way I see things,
I wish they could be true,
But take me all the way.
Delete the past, the fear, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.
14. Tilt
[Japanese Bonus Track]
We all find ourselves,
In honour of the good cause.
How empty we've become,
With our sight to be the true force.
Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.
You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.
Lies and desperation lead us through as we're trying to be heroic,
I swept the world (?) to watch you manage.
Take a step back,
I'll tie you to it.
You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.
Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation,
Take a short cut, it only bends our cause.
But as far as I remember,
There is nothing that will get back the days you lost.
Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.
You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.
15. Abnegation
[Japanese Bonus Track]
We believe but we are deceased
Or soon to be.
I act surprised
You've seen the seas,
It's just enough to feed the trees.
We believe but we are not free,
This wasteland is our prison.
I act surprised?
I see the bones through your skin,
This radiation from within.
I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
We believe but we don't see
The coming of the storm.
Why act surprised?
There are warnings from time to time,
Signs of our own decline.
We are the scavengers,
We plunder and rape,
We're the guests here, the new breed,
But act like it's ours to take.
I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
We believe but we don't see.
I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not,
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
