Unity in Pluralism

At any time, the news show us The instability within society They say the danger's almost everywhere There's no resort We walk this path without an escort Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us Proceed to foist new fear Adopted creed? - injected creed Just to make us amenable Vengeance of nature Rivers overflow their banks - polar caps melt Moving tectonic plates - the earth quakes Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us Proceed to foist new fear Adopted creed? - injected creed Just to make us amenable Where is the steadiness that we had once? Or is it just a misbelief in something that never was? Longing for a force - able to guide us People are in search for god but is the organized church Just another scare monger? The tongues of the leaders of sects are split Deception - It's just about a bottomless pit They won't give in - they will persist Christ, muslim, zionist, islamist, baptist When people live in mess and pertubation Anguish - volitional obfuscation Can we discern between hand and fist Christ, muslim, zionist, islamist, baptist All over the place, a search for healing And deliverance from this disorder Driven into the mouth of greed Clouding the difference Superstition or faith Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us Proceed to foist new fear Adopted creed? - injected creed Just to make us amenable

Close look into the eyes Cold sphere of malicious deceit Ever-growing antipathy No respect - just dread The lowest form of recognition For a man - calculating Insensitive, unethical, conscienceless Aim = career The pressure of the peer Minutes, hours, days and years, Friends, companions disappear Battle for promotion Obstacles or inner conflicts Dazed and numbed - fast motion Memories, stages, moments, years, Friends, companions disappear Solely climbing that ladder Following one matter Perpetual motion process Pursuit of success A weird face in the mirror Recall of familiar dread A sudden awareness This twist - a shock The lowest form of recognition For myself - how could I Disregard my metamorphosis I wasn't looking back Nor looking left or right Life on the fast lane Without taking any notice Change - evolution? Transformation - metamorphosis A smothered mind - reprogrammed Creeping metamorphosis Solely climbing that ladder Following one matter Perpetual motion process Pursuit of success

Do we know what time is? Is it the time on the clock that's ticking, The ticking that accompanies us all day, All night and in between? Is it our lifetime Periods that run Always aiming a certain point A point that stays unknown until our arrival Thoughts they fly Time goes by Impossible to keep hold of it Thoughts disappear But time won't Immeasurable, stable Tempus edax rerum Are we the ruler Or are we subjects? Is time our influence? Are we to neglect? Time is precious Time is rare Though we're sometimes Unaware We are no masters But we're not enslaved Sometimes it's fate And sometimes dictate Tempus edax rerum

Loss of time Loss of place Loss of memory Liquid crystal dementia Knowledge doesn't matter You simply have to know Where to find the answer A screen that doesn't only mirror true life - reality Disarrayed - causes brain injury? Progressive de-evolution Proceeds with capricious velocity Cognitive area damage Syndrome of a sickened society Void - oblivious - delirious A head without memory A fortress of solitude Addicted to technology Without natural urge Multi-task, single task, "no task" Liquid crystal dementia Knowledge doesn't matter You simply have to know Where to find the answer A language lost in phrases - shortened to acronyms Without sense - no grammar - no structure Information is energy In every transmission it loses something Information overkill Syndrome of a sickened society Void - oblivious - delirious A brain without data Etiology of the disease The capitulation of discrete thinking Force liquid crystal dementia A brain without data A head without memory LCD

While innocent people are killed in mindless wars They sing their hypocritical lullaby Hush, all you people, don't say a word This war's for freedom and not absurd That very lord is he that made all things Of all lords he's lord - king of all kings Lullaby and good night, Don't question our might Lady thee down now and rest May thy slumber be blessed Atrocities - concealed Soothing stories to calm us Their tranquilizer They are taking us for fools Treating us like infants Utilizing us like tools Drawing the curtain over their intent Drowning the pure lament Biased reporting Spiced with fairy tales Well-prepared Propaganda Spread through memorized speeches Double-tongued turncoats Abusers of elocution Skilled twisters of facts Camouflage - disguise - Hypocritical lullaby The truth that lies between the lines The lines no one gets to read Awaking from slumber The voice of the people Screams its lament A cacophony to break the walls Lullaby and good night, Don't question our might Lay thee down now and rest May thy slumber be blessed Who is the lord? Who is the king? Vox populi

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Left alone - without perspective Outsiders of society - easy prey Pseudo-communion, brotherhood - pretended Feigned protection and friends "Everyone's equal But some are more equal than others" These ideas will never die You can ban so many parties But these cowards will always realign Like will to like Craven mentors - the cover is the crowd 'Cause narrow minded fear the foreign A fear that's known as xenophobia They pick up the weak As they search affiliation Brainwash them with paroles Make false accusations Slaves to their angst Victims of their odium They misuse group dynamics And the power of speech Turn men into robotics Suck 'em out - like a leech In search for shelter From their own issues Hiding in their Pseudo-communion, hostility in disguise These betrayers of the feeble Exclusion - the fee for inclusion? These ideas will never die You can ban so many parties But these cowards will always realign Like will to like Craven mentors - the cover is the crowd 'Cause narrow minded fear the foreign A fear that's known as xenophobia

I struggle through the day Deserted and reclusive In search for real motives To go on - the pathway to I Who is the real me? Where can I find myself? Questions - so easy to ask So hard to answer A step between the worlds A walk through my mind A dark cloud above starts to rain Every drop - so full of salvation In search for myself Seeking for I The desired destination Seeking for I Longing to walk alone Yearning to stand alone To stand my own ground With no guidance from above Conceiving all the multi-colored shades Of my being of myself Seeking for I Seeking for I Seeking for I

The return to the origin - a place where it all began The return to a mindset where everything was new Sumless faces, unknown spaces, different shades Changes like traffic signs on The path back to point zero A scream out of nowhere A story that tells itself A blank page with a deeper sense than any word No expectations External pressure No limits, no breaks, no boundaries Like a virgin Hour of birth Innocent, impartial Making mistakes, Going on Walking through bodies Still going on No boundaries at point zero Life is not a circle but a spiral The angle changes with every step We walk along the path A path we call our life And even if we turn around we can't go back Though we keep our origin in mind The spiral makes the stages Reappear - randomly But from a different point of view A change of circumstances A change of personality But in the core - still the same Return to point zero Heart's desire Infeasible - still worthwhile Making mistakes Going on Walking through bodies Still going on No boundaries at point zero Life is not a circle but a spiral While certain feelings recall the start It's impossible to go back Back to point zero Back to point zero

They aimed high Much higher than a human mind could see Were over the people's heads Like a godhead The creator made us all A doctrine of the past The church becomes the outcast The church becomes the outcast Fighting for their reputation So many want their revocation Too many mistakes, too many scandals Science brought answers Killed the power of the church A power based on ignorance, nescience and fear Religions dismantle themselves A search for a surrogate To keep the people in fear Godliness means anxiety Of god's vengefulness Downright sanctimony Just an antiquated mindset A world in constant motion Tear down the lies - piece by piece Rape cases and accusations Drug abuse - manipulation Too many mistakes, too many scandals Scientific findings Now the clergy's s filled with fear A paradigm change Religions dismantled themselves The search for a surrogate Pointless We are not afraid of you anymore
