01. 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.

Chorus:

    Frigthened by your own smell.
    Bitternes 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.

Chorus.

It's the cowardice that puls 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 everbody's gone?
Do you know that you're on your own?
It's life-the the dark that binds you.

Chorus.

02. 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, bu the earth stands forever fast.
All river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full.

Chorus:

    To discover the lonliness 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 untouch spring.

    Read, what is writtenon the silent mouth
    What is written in the soul
    For which is written in the shining silence
    We all have to read.     (x2)

My body will be bent from the burdens
When the shaking floor of life-force.
Reveal it's chasm underneath
If only one could be two steps ahead.

Chorus.

03. Jotun

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 its weight its silence
And the absence of excuses for a havoced life
And the privilege of a 22-kilometre tombstone.

Chorus:

    Jotun.

    A body of black
    That carried no reflection,
    Defying its 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 ny skyline to
Dream its own existence in one single final word.

Chorus. (x2)

Can we identify them,
As the flint buried in our reptile skulls
Or the time-bomb coded in our dna.

Chorus.

04. Food For The Gods

Shame marries the guilt
Introduces itself to the
Concept of total loneliness.
Sensations repressed
Make friends with
Suicidia, and
And here the leeches begin to
Suck away the lust for life.

Chorus:

    Escape takes lead
    Into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
    Where borders are erased and potential infinite
    Chosen cells, glands and transmittors
    Blast the body with joy.
    Astral feet running
    Up to dimensions covered with gold,
    Stairs of glowing electroplasma,
    Safir onyx and buzzing vibrations
    A dead men's 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.

Chorus.

Cutting the bloodline
Re-tie the bleeding roots
To heavenly ship of glass
And let it drift in passive arrogance
In a one-word dialogue with the stars.

Chorus.

05. Moonshield

Tried of dull ages, I walk the same ground,
Collecting the tragedies still.
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
Carried my cross to the hill.

Chorus:

    And how I lust for the dance and the fire
    Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
    Spill me the wind and it's fire
    To steal of the colours - I'm the moonshield.

Shattered hope became my guide
And grief and pain my friends,
A brother pact in blood-ink penned
Declared my silent end.

Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone
Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone. (x2)

Chorus.

06. 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
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 explanin who I am.

Chorus:

    How come it's possible,
    I wish there was a way.
    I feel so invinsible,
    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.

Chorus.

07. Swim

As we build a brand new planet,
Lets reconstruct and get it straight.

Unlock forgotten skills
Travel to a new dimension
Souls from the dark seduction
(Take heed), we are the new invention.

We're the settlers of year zero,
Lets reconstruct and take it back.

Chorus:

    Leaders of our time
    Heading for a downfall
    The threshhold of revolution
    (Take heed)The last freedom call.

    Blanked out fire etched on the chrystal 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.

Chorus.

08. Behind Space

Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through worldless toungh.
Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain.
Emptied from all human motions
Confront the faceless wrath.

Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space
Trough twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams.
Signs of towers reaching for the moon,
They're 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.

Behind al galaxies through timeless aenos of frost.
Unearthly hunger - angels decent.

We are entering dimensions behind space...

Behind all galaxies through timeless aenos of frost.

09. Only For The Weak

I can't tolerate your sadness,
Cause it's me you're drowning.
I won't allow any hapiness,
Cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guilty...

Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beutiful and free
In my righteous own mind,
I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me.

Chorus:

    Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak,
    No need for sympathy, the misery that is me.
   
I've lost the ability to paint 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.

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.

Chorus:

    Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak,
    No need for sympathy, the misery that is me.
    Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak,
    On bleeding knees I accept my fate.    (x3)

10. Gyroscope

Geology is digging through my brain
A manta engulfing the world,
To throw it up once again
To a guild of lifted daggers.

Chorus:

    Neo-wolf, but older again
    Than the Lupus itself
    Linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
    A collection of failures.

A diabolical sequence of stabs
Written in cunning stones
From the fossilised den of thieves
Our lives die.

Chorus.

I see the nursing all-mother
Spitting out a trail of termites
In the mouth of her first-born hope
Breasts ripe with smog-filled rebellion.

Apathy dressed in violence,
White insectoid legs,
Curse her lips and the mouth
Receptive only to pain.

Chorus.

11.  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.

Chorus:

    She owns enough of preciousness
    A penalty given by the source.

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.

But I still have no choise through
The hinderens freighten.
A labarynth closing at the edge of space.

Chorus.

But they never allow
She's shut....for all beings but one.

I give, I scorn, I treath.
Since I marked her out from my tower,
Reality focused through forbidden lenses.

Chorus.

12. Ordinary Story

Egoism dictates human relation
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 indifferance.
Gather the faithful...
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifferance.

Chorus:

    An all to ordinary story
    With aftertaste so bitter, 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 existance
With a content void of excuse.

Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifferance.
Gather the faithful...
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifferance.

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.

Chorus.

13. 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.

Chorus:

    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, still 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.

Chorus.

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 waste away.

Chorus.

14. Colony

In my world, the day is no threat
In my world, there is an absence of light
"Genetic superiour cell" controled
By fathomless and undearable.

A radical new form of plastic and rage.
Biologically optomized,
But with a strangling pulse.

In your world, you find me worthy,
In my world, I "parashoot" my life.
A virtual drogstore populated
By the fathomless and unbearable.

Machine, meat and blood
In an intimate relationship,
The new - superior -
More effective than all the preceeding.

Where we can no longer
Cry and reality is torn,
Then it's easy to forget
That the responsibillity lies on us all.    (x2)

In your world, the night is no threat
In my world, the darkness
Transforms to a vision of hell
Populated by fathomless and unbearable

15. Episode 666

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.

Chorus:

    This is episode 666
    Destination chaos
    Each and all an actor blind.    (x6)
