Denial Machine

Descending into madness Derived from self hatred Lost in the clarity The memories have faded The needle pricks the skin Invasive therapy begins Push and pull There's no way out Failure, you're praising failure Over and over again [Chorus:] Am I the only one To see the writing on the wall? May the hammer of God Be brought down Now you're set up for the fall The vile The rapist Heroes to be honored Just how far have you fallen? The guilty bring home all the praise A new idol to adore your pray What was right is now wrong in this age Failure, you're praising failure Over and over again [Chorus:] Am I the only one To see the writing on the wall? May the hammer of God Be brought down Now you're set up for the fall Slowly you're swept away Slowly you're swept away With the tides of this persecution Defiance brings wrath through self righteous indignation Amoral pragmatisk Does the end justify the means? Whom the gods would destroy First they make mad Whom the gods would destroy [Chorus:] Am I the only one To see the writing on the wall? Am I the only one To see the writing on the wall? May the hammer of God Be brought down Now you're set up for the fall You're set up for the fall

Forget not these scars For they're all too real Will time still heal? Still aging And fading Vanity! Take a look in the mirror Don't be afraid It's only shame You idolize your image When the mirror breaks Your image will fade [Chorus:] You pray You pray for redemption And salvation To save you from yourself You pray for salvation To save you from yourself From yourself Now you'll give your confession The guilt of perfection Overwhelming pride There's nothing real left in you Alone you stand a symbol of obsession [Chorus:] You pray You pray for redemption And salvation To save you from yourself You pray for salvation To save you from yourself From yourself Make your last confession Of a plastic Existence Your God is your possessions Alone you stand a symbol of obsession Take a look in the mirror Do you recognize the eyes that stare back at you? Embrace the cold The cold reflection Pray for your redemption Pray for your salvation Save you from yourself Alone you stand A symbol of obsession

We will be We will be reborn Yaoh! I am the one with the weight of the world On my shoulders Burying me When will you learn I can't walk away It's too late for me To turn the page Why does pain inspire Life to be reborn Now I watch the world burn The fault lies with our humanity Why don't we learn? Destined to repeat the mistakes In our soul it's engraved Why does pain inspire Life to be reborn We will be We will be reborn From dust we came To ashes we return [Solo - Anderson] Are we forgotten? Condemned to silence In solitude comes revelation We're nothing We're everything We're nothing Forgotten in silence! Why does pain inspire Life to be reborn I can't let myself Be the one who falls away (I will be reborn) (I will be reborn)

Loss for dreams Can't wake me now Silence circles all around me I can't remember Do you recall The whispers to me The rising call "We keep what we have... ... Only with vigilance..." [Chorus:] Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your message of hope Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your promise of freedom No remorse for cold succession Short sighted fate Will never lead me No affection No advocate Point the blame to last inoculation... [Chorus:] Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your message of hope Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your promise of freedom Static pain Greets me when I'm sober Have I become Womething mother would be proud of? [Solo - Anderson/Cichra] One more trip to slow me down "We keep what we have... ... Only with vigilance..." [Chorus:] Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your message of hope Eternal sleep Your life fades away Your promise of freedom

Condemn you with one hand The other subverts The guilt placed upon you "Will you serve?" [Chorus:] This is the only way To heal the division This is the only way To break my convictions Break down the will Deny the right to exist To dominate! All in the name Of the progressive mind Self interest denied Focus their anger to give punishment You support the derision You now serve!

[Solo - Anderson/Cichra] The life Blood is the price for everything In the end... Bring down Turn away The dissenting voice Violent words defy Leaving no choice To bring them down To silence all... To bring them down To silence all...
