The Drawing Board

I've never felt like turning tables. I've never felt the need to care for problems of modern community All I want is my bubble of reality I choose the path of least of resistance a wall of security all I have ever done was turn my head away from reality Never has it been part of my business The secret To my happy life I close my eyes Turn off my mind, I refuse to resist Keep all sorrow in periphery No, I don't want to have it close to me Poverty and civil wars are not my fault If I don't look then it won't touch me at all Why don't you come and have a look? You will find bliss in ignorance Inside my cozy bubble There is a madman's paradise It is the key to an easy life I know what you should try Turn off your mind and refuse to Participate in this chaotic madness of today Follow my signs and refuse to resist By insisting, we will live our lives in pain This isolation, you don't have to understand. Do you know what this means? Respect my existence Solitude is what I've chosen Leave Expect my resistance. Wait a minute, I'm just the same I should have it close to me, participate, turn on my mind and not refuse to resist.

For we are many We will stand on our feet United we will rise Rise up from the ashes you left by burning down our self-esteem Like a child with a magnifier Playing god, plaguing ants You try to pull us down New role models, plastic mannequins Success equals looks Who needs skills? Every path we walk Persuasion's opulent Break out of this vicious circle This is your chance Go move your ass It is only up to you Break the cage to free yourselves From the claws that hold you tight We'll burn the pictures implanted Take a look into the mirror And you will find your confidence Everywhere you look Superficial, artificial Idols of beauty We won’t take this any longer The time has come to bend the bars Of the prison you've made us This is our chance All the shit you have given us to digest Now seems so useless and easy to resist So now watch Your fake empire Burn to the ground You'll pay the price We’ll smash your plastic dreams That you have created Your own weapons Will bring you down to your knees It is only up to us Break the cage to free ourselves From the claws that held us tight We’ve burnt the pictures implanted As we looked into the mirror We have found our confidence To put obstructions in your way Our resistance will live on We don't give a damn about your looks

Welcom to This World Come take a seat and make yourself feel as comfortable as you can be Don’t shut your ears What you’ll hear might make you resent the world and what it stands for Possibly, the only thing to keep us sane is Magically hidden in plain sight Liberty, love and equality Withheld from and by us unwillingly Insanity, commoner than common sense Tragically's turned into normality Community is what we've got to be But triviality is our enemy Something has the world united Something has the world divided For us to see, for us to be Forever something that we'll never be Wait with me, come to see This humble message won't be heard What we do, equals to Fallen leaves fighting against the wind Society, twisted and corrupted, could work Perfectly if we were to see Finally that all conflict is our doing And not some natural phenomenon Humanity, stubborn and xenophobic Honestly fears evolution and Diversity, so we're blind to see That no solution is needed Something has the world united Something has the world divided For us to be, for us to see Forever something that will never be The world's before you, ask yourself what you see The revelation twists your head The world's around you, ask yourself what you feel The truth might hurt, don't you agree? Everything has the world united Nothing has the world divided Free your selfish mind

The sky is clearing up The sun is bright and warm Captured by this single moment It feels like time is standing still And everything around is faded out The second that your eyes met mine I could feel my heart ignite Not a thought does not revolve Around your flawless beauty I now know, I can't resist Your precious smile The path I walked had always been blocked But you came and paved the way Only with you as my companion It seems like I am not on my own I want to walk this road with you Even if I don't know where it may lead me For so long it felt like ages I had no direction in life On a road leading far away from home On my own i used to stumble With nobody by my side To show me the right direction To guide me into the light But now it seems as if relief lies in your sparkling eyes The path I walk is meant for two I want you to know I'm here for you This road we'll take together at all I can assure you I will catch you whenever you fall Now with you as my companion This road seems to be good and true The path ahead is leading us home Wherever this place is meant to be

Arise Horsemen of the apocalypse The bells have chimed For tonight’s the night When we will set out and attack Smash the worthless lives We will define a new breed Because rotten seeds have thrived then we shall burn down the field Regret them Confront your sins The time has come for us to rise Accept them Redeem yourselves Our patience is exhausted, you've woken the storm From menacing shadows Observe the burning sky The seventh seal is broken As angels blow the clarion Your fate is set in stone Mortals, Get down to your knees And bear witness to your deeds For we are Law, jury and judge What You saw Is what You reap Brace yourselves for the final judgement The apocalypse is near The apocalypse is here

Newsflash! A global collapse of facial library systems has caused an enormous increase of mass suicide. Research has shown that this tragic trend is at its peak in Birdland, Webminster and about to spread around the globe.

It seems like shit's got serious A library that's full of faces People act delirious Previously crowded places Look like deserted spaces Acting like a butterfly Cocooning virtualised So you want to be a star? You've got to climb the sugar mountain Unfold your private life You've got to trust me You're simply one click away from fame Hurr durr, have you heard? 140 characters my little bird Hashtag, go with the flow Do you know what happened a minute ago? Tweet tweet tweet, my mind goes beep Open up the cage, and you'll fall deep We don't need big brother now Cause we are part of an online show WTF, I just don't get it Talking shit without regretting People typing without brains Zombie outbreak's last remains Self-portrayal has increased Right to privacy deceased I'm about to draw a line Stay out of it and you'll be fine Who needs privacy anyway?

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

I am awake. my eyes are open But something feels off today. These images – have I lived through them Or is my mind playing tricks on me? Is this my life? Is this dream or reality? I'm insecure. I don't know what's in front of me. Each step I take might lead me into A maelstrom of memories. I look for help, my senses fail me. How do I deal with uncertainty? I can't discern dream from reality. Two worlds have merged, So what is in store for me? The path's before me but I can't find my way. I want to move but my feet won't leave the ground. These illusions are nothing but obstacles, Preventing me from doing what I want to do. I won't allow myself to lose control. I am the master of my own world. What I recall are lies my mind creates, The foreign matter I won't tolerate They're all the same, dreams or nightmares, Are hindrances in my way. And I won't rest until I've found them, Until they're shattered to see things clearly No, I won't rest, until they're gone - again. There they are! I will get rid of them. It's finally time to say: “Distorted reality, be gone!” The dreams are dead. I am completely free. Nightmares have left my plain of existence. My wounds are healed. My focus is regained Determination is now my companion. Dreams are a construct of the mind. The answers lie in the present.

It's party time! I'm hanging with my bros, looking for some fun To seize the night. Tonight's going to be legendary We are done warming up We're heading down to our favourite club, let's meet some ladies The place is packed, the girls are hot. Where are our drinks, mate? A couple of shots in front of us, let's get this party started! Oh, look at that! a girl is walking up to us and she says: "Forget it, boys. you will never get this." What the fuck? That's ridiculous. No one looked at her! What got into this bitch? So please explain to me What's with this rejection? They should enjoy themselves, Embrace their lives and socialise Let's get serious: why don't they loosen up? Is there a certain reason for their unnatural behaviour? They defeat The very Purpose of human nature What do they Expect to Gain from their pointless tough act? What is there to prove? Do they want to be miserable? Why would someone act like that by their own choice? Why do they even bother Going out at night when They're unable to Enjoy the company of others! So nightlife seems to be only their grandest stage A circle of people who want to show what they are not. What the fuck? That's ridiculous! Life is so much fun but they're doing this shit.

This is the truth you are scared to face Wake up, rise and shine Stretch out your arms and legs Breathe in the stench of a brand new day Nothing new awaits you today Get in line, take your place Enjoy the company of the mindless ones Your daily routine does not lead to fulfilment It is a doctrine meant to break your soul and will Come disregard the values forced upon you Betray your kin and simply Turn your back on this horrid travesty Don't you want to be free from all of this I can't see why you're still a part of this I don't know why you blindly obey, but I won't give in. No, I won't give in at all. Hey, you! Yes, I'm still talking to you. Are you still In this Tedious cycle they call a good life? What do you need to lastly proceed To being far more than they want you to be because Fulfilling our dreams is all we have Remember you're a unique individual Protect your precious freedom against all odds No, don't believe what they say Oh, this is no time to obey No, don't believe what they say Fight! Deny! Their filthy, useless lies These thoughts are vital, vital Don't let them out of your head Accept! React! Yourself you must protect These thoughts are vital, vital For survival

As I returned from embattled fields Within I carried the fetor of death Along with the forsaken's wrath My loss, my agony and shield My soul is wounded It was behind forgotten lore If I cannot reach Salvation’s hand in time then Hatred shall reign Over me for evermore Wicked vengeance Will you forever blind my sight? No more battles It is settled My hatred is dismantled A new dawn Emerges The path to serenity is enlightened No further blood Shall be shed For I have found my inner peace Lust for payback Will decease As time has come For no regrets Resurrection My old self is gone The past has shown The feelings that I now deny Retribution It plagues me no more The world shall know That this is my final hatred Lo and behold! No nightmares I have emerged enlightened I've overcome Damnation Harmony will prevail from now on No vengeance, I'm independent and my descendants Will carry on the will of life My obstructed mind Swayed and confined I couldn't see the light The chains are broken Free at last I'm washing off my dreadful past The door is open Bridges burn I've reached the point of no return

You were the reason why I woke up Why I breathed and why I cared You were the oxygen I longed for When I was down and gasped for air You are the one That I’d call worth dying for The only thing I ever worshipped and adored You were the one That gave me strength to hold on My precious one I’ll never let you go We knew sometime this day would come The day you’d have to leave I just didn’t know it'd come so fast I still don’t want to believe Yet I see images of you But then they disappear There's so much i want you to know I wish that you were here The hopes for us I've had are gone now But the warmth inside remains The time we've spent together Has turned me into The man I am today All these places we have been to, Where we laughed and found a place to rest, My fond memories I've held dear Are now pale shades of grey You've tried to Promise me that things won't change It's not your fault That not a thing has stayed the same Sometimes I Wish I could turn the hands of time To change wrong to right The hands of time won’t move for me It is time for me to see That you won't walk this path with me I will have to find my way The hopes for us I've had are gone now but the warmth inside remains The time we've spent together has become a relic of the past There's no need to tell me how you feel the inner truth needs to come to light accept these feelings as they are something I should not hide

A: Good day, sir! How are you today? B: Fine, thank you. Erm, can I help you? A: No, I'm here to help you improve your life! B: What do you mean? My life doesn't need improvement. A: Oh, that's what everybody believes these days. Do you have a something-something insurance for example? B: No, I don't believe so. What is it and why would I need it anyway? A: Oh, thank the heavens that God has found another helpless sheep I can lead to salvation. B: Come again? What the hell are you talking about? Get the fuck off my property! A: Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. That could have some serious consequences. B: Excuse me? A: Let me explain. Due to our long-running company history and substantial success over the last couple of years, we have come to learn that most people are too ignorant and simple minded to grasp how to live their lives and identify what is important. That's why we're here offering our something-something insurance to people like you. B: What have you just called me? How dare you step onto my property and insult me on my doorstep? A: I'm not insulting you, sir. I'm just stating the ugly truth. You will know what I mean soon enough. B: Alright I've had enough. You are completely nuts. Now grab your stuff and leave before I call the cops. If there's one thing I hate, it's people of your kind. You would suck out the blood of a helpless child. B: Goddamit! A: Please! Sir, there's no need to be offensive. Something-something always lurks around the corner, and I'm here to prevent that. You can trust me. I'm an expert. I've read through the contract and everything is in your favour. Besides, let me tell you. You do know what happens to people who don't trust experts, don't you? B: Not exactly. What might happen? A: Well, something-something could happen to you. B: Oh God, please, anyhing but that. B: How could I be so wrong? You are completely right. This is just what I need. Indeed, I will comply. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Could you hand me a pen and tell me where do I sign? A: Sign here and here. B: Ok, anything else? A: No, thank you. This is perfect. Doing business with you has been my pleasure. You will see me again in the future.
