Days are passing, weeks are counted Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone Where am I now, I'm missing home Behind locked doors they await my plea Do they all see through me, do they all know? I'm sending this message to all Hoping sometime it will reach a shore Someone to find, bring back hope I will wait - cold and forlorn Does it matter where we are In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold All these people with no place to call home Too bad no one cares Who decides where the journey starts A tidal wave will bring me safe away Until I reach a distant shore I've been away for a long time now No one is waiting for me I know Time will erase all my darkest dreams I'm still counting days I'm sending this message to all Hoping sometime it will reach a shore Someone to find, bring back hope I will wait - cold and forlorn Does it matter where we are In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold All these people with no place to call home Too bad no one cares Who decides where the journey starts Days are passing, weeks are counted Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone Where am I now, I'm missing home Behind locked doors they await my plea Do they all see through me, do they all know? No one is waiting for me, I know... It's all going to get better now Fool's paradise - the promised fields Thinking positive, not the opposite After the tide, a new dawn will rise It's all going to get better now The beholder comes, to clear my head Thinking positive, not the opposite Six feet under, the end to it all will come I'm sending this message to all Hoping sometime it will reach a shore Someone to find, bring back hope I will wait - cold and forlorn Does it matter where we are In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold All these people with no place to call home Too bad no one cares Who decides where the journey starts

In a capsule it came, bellicose as it is, and it infected the system to build a new colony. Silently it resists, waiting as an embryo, the perfect moment to infect, to build it up more superior. Superior becoming! Inside this void it feeds, a conception of the ideal structure. Contained in the flesh, a fountainhead of the rise. Hear my becoming for I will be. Hear my becoming for I will be. A mutant of the new world... On this depraved orb I'm wandering, I see others like me. Have we all been transformed by this strange lunar halo? On this depraved orb I'm wandering, I see others like me. Have we all been transformed by this strange lunar halo? The carrier now I am of this unearthly syndrome! The carrier now I am of this unearthly syndrome that tears my body down to recreate the master plan. As I wander the fields of abode a grey and old man I've become. The birds won't sing anymore, to fragments of dust I dissolve. Crumble to dust, becoming of man. Hear my becoming for I will be. Hear my becoming for I will be. A mutant of the new world... On this depraved orb I'm wandering, I see others like me. Have we all been transformed by this strange lunar halo? On this hideous orb I'm wandering, I see others like me. Have we all been transformed by this strange lunar halo? The carrier now I am of this unearthly syndrome! Locked down as in the capsule it came, and all traces of life has been erased. In frozen sleep I seek forgiveness for my sins have not been paid. Will I ever be reborn?

Do you think they could have a secret agenda An iron hand over the last remains of humanity The final breath of life, allusions of the end Are we all part of this scheme? Another coin in payment for your soul Another bone in the lifegiving soil Reincarnated - as spawns of the darkness All we crave to passes will leave a hole into deep As payment to exist they lost their soul Bones buried beneath We are ... slaves of creation Reincarnated, a revolution We are ... merged into perfect form Regeneration came with a steep price Into a realm of wealth and comfort How can we even resist this claim A manifestation of a perfect empire (your kingdom come) Where pain and disgrace are absent Do you think they could have a secret agenda Protect the nation, with hidden intentions, for reasons why? One day when the devil calls your name And when he does you will think of me Another coin in payment for your soul Another bone in the lifegiving soil As modern Gods claim sacrifice The flames will feed on the doomed Vested interest controls the flow Transaction on the wire All we crave to passes will leave a hole into deep As payment to exist they lost their soul Bones buried beneath We are ... merged into perfect form Regeneration came with a steep price Reincarnated - as spawns of the darkness Reincarnated ... ... Regeneration Reincarnated ... ... Regeneration

Along the fragile edge of darkness Down to chaos seething below Rise in the grace of moonlight The stranger came in the night I've been waiting for so long now... Hungry as the sea Turbulent as the storm Deepest eyes of mystery shine A guiding light sent for me I've been a trader of so much pain Now a harvester of life All are born as barren souls To a life free of all sins A place where evil awaits for those The labyrinth of years must go Time has come to cleanse the soul Our home far behind the sun A place to plant the eternal seed As fragile as roses you'll grow I've been lower than so called Hell Been used, and I've been scorned I used to count myself as one Into million stars I've become I've been a trader of so much pain Now a harvester of life Time has come to cleanse the soul Our home far behind the sun A place to plant the eternal seed So fragile... Time has come to cleanse the soul Our home far behind the sun A place to plant the eternal seed As fragile as roses you'll grow Your shhip can never sail Without a proper wind in its sails This wind you now will feel Coming strong And it will never leave you Abandoned ashore As long as my name remains There will always be a safe port of call There will always be a safe port of call All are born as barren souls To a life free of all sins A place where evil awaits for those The labyrinth of years must go Time has come to cleanse the soul Our home far behind the sun A place to plant the eternal seed So fragile... Time has come to cleanse the soul Our home far behind the sun A place to plant the eternal seed As fragile as roses you'll grow You'll grow... I've been a trader of so much pain I've been waiting for so long now I've been a trader of so much pain Now a harvester of life

Last night I had a dream About the existence to it all Vague visions in the black of night Made by shiver, made me reconsider That night I had a dream About a raven so black and glimmer It came to me in the dead of night The raven's cry, a cold, soulful need In the black of the night The raven of darkness In the black of the night Then it all faded away I fear I woke, so many thoughts What we inherit, when will we perish Need to change for those who come Our existence, the final extinction The final extinction Lost a loved one, we know time will come Gave birth to my own special one Pick a number, stay in line I'll give you strength, for you to light the way In the black of the night The raven of darkness In the black of the night Unfledged but still divine We all know there is a price to pay Time will come where it all will fail A shelter in Heaven for those who pray? Birth, life, and then will come death! Eyes of silver reflect the last breath I see generations fall Admire it now before the last remains fade We will cause human's empire to fall Empire to fall! Born - sanctuary denied Forlorn - mesmerized in fear Behold the raven's cry Black wings bringer of pain Behold the raven's cry Through its silver eyes I saw the fall In the black of the night The raven of darkness In the black of the night The raven of darkness In the black of the night Hear the raven's cry

It has always been Me, Myself and I Even a stray dog will be my friend Before I reach your level Don't put me down, please leave me alone We were both born with nothing Why am I the family's black sheep Stripped down to the concrete Wet, cold and alone Neon lights, addicted We are all... Material - Scorn Material - Hate Material - Waste Material - World Material - Terror Material - Pain How can it be, I want to conceive Don't give my sympathy, ignore me Worthless life, while someone sits up high Don't moralize, ignore me rather Stripped down to the concrete Wet, cold and alone Neon lights, addicted Definition of home... so material Some are brought into life as society's waste A cess-pool of trash that we all tend to forget Struck by the power Pouring another liquid fire As second fly a stom arise In this unpredictable life Set in control of your inner demons In memories vague, loosing fate In this unpredictable life Set in control of your inner demons As second fly a stom arise In this unpredictable life Set in control of your inner demons In memories vague, loosing fate In this unpredictable life Set in control of your inner demons Act of fate Material - Scorn Material - Hate Material - Waste Material - World Material - Terror Material - Pain

Monuments, rise upon arrival Bizzare theories Questions and controversies remain Left clues to their origin in the stones Did isolation create this enigma? Anyone who tries to break the code Will have to sacrifice their precious life We can not make our holy God cry Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill Anyone who tries to break the code Will have to sacrifice their precious life We can not make our holy God cry Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill Paradise, surrounded by an endless blue Alone in this world Waiting for salvation to come Outcasts, for reason still unknown Voyagers, found it empty and abandoned Anyone who tries to break the code Will have to sacrifice their precious life We can not make our holy God cry Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill Any one who tries to break the code Will have to sacrifice Their one chance in life And when the darkness falls on shores Olden rites from a secret lore Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy A lost continent of liquifying stone Burned through the crust And erupted into the Earth A lifeform unknown Looking out on the coming wave Waiting for what to come Mold the statue of pure fear obsession Afraid of what to come, mold the statue Afraid of what to come, mold the statue So observe meant to please the Gods Afraid of what to come, mold the statue So obscure meant to please the Gods ... The Gods And when the darkness falls on shores Olden rites from a secret lore Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy Moon dance in the skyline Where the oceans meet Trigger the mind of the staring stone eyes A lifeform unknown Looking out on the coming wave Waiting for what to come Mold the statue so pure A lifeform unknown Looking out on the coming wave Waiting for what to come Mold the statue of pure fear obsession And when the darkness falls on shores Olden rites from a secret lore Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy A view of reason Rotation of the sun To fulfill their God's prophecy Mold the statue of pure fear obsession Disappearing in the vast-seas Wiped away by a tidal wave? And when the last tree went down They left a mark for the future to find Afraid of what to come, mold the statue So obscure meant to please the Gods Is this a clue to the modern race Who left this mark Of fear in cold stone...
