Promise me you won't look up It could change your life Can you handle what you'll find An open mind - an Attitude Of Learning about something new There's always another way When clouds break and dissipate

Born natural machines For changing information Changing me Ride the River out of Eden The flow of change comes slow But constantly Day by day I compete New brothers in the pool, but wait Most of them won't stay Guiding chaos into order Genetic symphony goes on A brand new score to play Take a strand of DNA Slight mutation every day Survive so I can make my way And be passed down - down You - Them - Him - Her I drive you Need to survive you I'll work you like a clock I write your story Does our hero live or die Remains yet to be seen I need you to survive You're my machine Survival of the species Third in line behind the gene Behind me Compared with the machine The bloodline doesn't prove as thick Or change a thing I'm afraid of crossing over I try to stay alive in you Your life paves my way If I really won this fight If I am intact I will Construct without delay A brand new score to play Take a strand of DNA Slight mutation every day Survive so I can make my way And be passed down - down You - Them - Him - Her I drive you Need to survive you I'll work you like a clock I write your story Does our hero live or die Remains yet to be seen I need you to survive You're my machine Mother - Father - Sister - Brother They fight me They try to hide me Inside where I belong I have played my part You - Me - We - Are You are me Think through it clearly You work me like a clock You write my story Does our hero live or die Remains yet to be seen I need you to survive You're my machine

Give me sundown till the light Give me just one long night Watch me work and slave away I'll be done when you awake Marvel at my bed of silk Marvel at the one thing I can build I will call this place a home A trap for the drifter on the run Deep in a corner where I wait He will find me I'm his fate I'll enjoy him day by day Cause he'll never get away I know you fear me I know you fear me Fear my home and fear my hands Soon you'll feel me Have reason to fear me Scared 'cause you don't understand Watch the dew that follows lines Trickle through this web of mine You see me can't comprehend I'm a killer - a friend You see me don't be afraid Of this crystal I have made It gives life to my own kind And there'll be nothing left behind I'm more than a witches pet I am more than a beast I know that I hide in shadows But there's a little light in me I know you fear me I know you fear me Fear my home and fear my hands Soon you'll feel me Have reason to fear me Scared 'cause you don't understand Build your own world No regrets you have And do what you have to do For survival Build your own world without regret Do what you must to survive Soon you'll kill me Soon you'll kill me Crush my home with you own hands Soon you'll smear me Why do you fear me Cause I build the dreams you can't I know you fear me I know you fear me Fear my home and fear my hands Soon you'll feel me Have reason to fear me Scared 'cause you don't understand

A stream it flows through time Without direction The current holds the line Abstract Instruction The liquid of life - You and I The banks are line with lies The future is inside It flows into a child A great divide Blueprints passed down the line River out of Eden Flow along through time Carry all that goes into a child River out of Eden Your waters drift apart You brought a new life - It came into this world Channels forging their own way Progress never cease Information can create An augmented beast Elements they test the young Who then will be released After the trial of life Blueprints passed down the line River out of Eden Flow along through time Carry all that goes into a child River out of Eden Your waters drift apart You brought a new life - It came into this world River out of Eden Filled with what we are Keep on flowing far beyond this day River out of Eden Your waters drift apart Maybe sometime new life will find its way

Mount Improbable rears up from the plain Standing tall in the rarefied sky Once we crawled along its base It seemed these cliffs could never be climbed Unattainable heights they tower above Drive the bravest man to give up We know it has been scaled before but how Can you tell me - do you comprehend Look around the other side And you will reach a distant land Who would have thought that you would find A gradual ascent Cliffs and echoing canyons You'd be right to never ever wanna try But if you take it step by step The long way - it will lead up into - the sky Are you a man with time to spare If so don't be concerned The back route's sure to get you there So tell me what you've learned How do we fit in It is not just random Not like a hurricane That just kept on blowing Inch by inch we built This world of wonders Still we can't see the top Don't know where we're going As you go up the hill you look around And see other wanderers travel Each on their own going up Some rest while others struggle At the top you will find perfection It's a place you might never see Maybe at a different time Chance brings opportunity - to us Rise up - go on - until you reach the distant land Our past seems far below - down the trail How do we fit in It is not just random Not like a hurricane That just kept on blowing Inch by inch we built This world of wonders Still we can't see the top Don't know where we're going Too far along to ever think of turning back Too far to go to ever stop for rest What stands before seems far too steep to try Rise above And survive Multiply And cease to be How do we fit in It is not just random Not like a hurricane That just kept on blowing Inch by inch we built This world of wonders Still we can't see the top Don't know where we're going How do we fit in Tell me are we sleeping Can we go another step And keep on growing

Down where it's deep Your thoughts are complete All you need is a light This will lead us unsparingly Toward theories that cut like a knife And the sun as it sets Does not go unnoticed It makes me wonder How I can focus on. You Eyes Light up the room Your eyes My attention consume Your eyes Don't blink too soon Without that invention I would not be here Half an eye for me is perfectly clear So that I find you wherever you are I am not blind, I just can't see far And as the sun sets I will not regret If I keep on moving I won't forget You Eyes Light up the room Your eyes My attention consume Your eyes Don't blink too soon Each one lashes out at me I'm drowning in a deep green sea I will swim for eternity Maybe one day I will see more clearly You Eyes Light up the room Your eyes My attention consume Your eyes Don't blink too soon You Eyes Light up the room Your eyes My attention consume Your eyes Don't blink too soon You Eyes Light up the room Your eyes My attention consume Your eyes Don't blink too soon

I lie awake wondering who I am My dreams don't seem to make any sense Imagination running wild - it can't satisfy my need Oceans taunt me - I'm a patron to the coast Dark seas, cool breeze - today the tide is low And then suddenly a shape has caught my eye Calling me - could not resist or pass it by On the shore I found an answer Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure I took it home to keep it safe Little spiral in my hand The stories you can tell Never cease to captivate me Just a simple shell You came out of the sea Now you belong to me I hold it close - I know there are many more It's like a gallery - down on the ocean floor Shapes and patterns infinite - spelling clues to history Swept ashore - could not resist or pass it by On the shore I found an answer Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure I took it home to keep it safe Little spiral in my hand The stories you can tell Never cease to captivate me Just a simple shell You came out of the sea Now you belong to me Moved by the swells Currents will tell Tell us you story So many out there No one just like my Immortal coil keep on floating On the shore I found an answer Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure I took it home to keep it safe Little spiral in my hand The stories you can tell Never cease to captivate me Just a simple shell You came out of the sea Now you belong to me I lie awake knowing who I am My dreams now seem to make sense again

I kill you I'm a lion Snap your neck and leave you bleeding I kill you I'm a virus Destroy you once I'm in I'm running I can't beat you That's why I am so fast I'm running down the food chain This breath could be my last Life is an endless battle raging on and on Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn One grows strong, the other stronger Balance shifting, how much longer? I'll eat you I'm a shark Sink my teeth into your flesh I'll squeeze you I'm a snake Then down you whole while you're still fresh I'll hide so you can't see me Make myself disappear Competition drives us forward And blind ambition holds us back Our tool manipulation Forcing others' adaptation Nature learns form its mistakes Takes generations to improve Can't run from the higher primates Unchecked intellect devours Animal communication Manipulating other's power Life is an endless battle raging on and on Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn One grows strong, the other stronger Balance shifting, how much longer? Life is an endless battle raging on and on Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn One grows strong, the other stronger Balance shifting, how much longer? Life is an endless battle raging on and on Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn One grows strong, the other stronger Balance shifting, how much longer?

Life was always there With that I can't agree This had to start somewhere That much is clear to me All this complexity Traced back to one event A single moment of Naked coincidence Origins and Miracles In a universe of chance Copying mistakes are made So we can advance Take a mountain of rust And wait for a breeze You'll still never see a wind that builds A perfect machine A universe without design Or an entity that's blind Who built a world without a plan No final form in mind In the end there is no goal Only a chain of questions Be one of those who answer them Turn off copy protection Origins and Miracles In a universe of chance Copying mistakes are made So we can advance Origins and Miracles Haunt us day by day We can make some sense of all It can be explained Primate armies slave away Writing infinitely Still they can not create What Shakespeare wrote so easily Origins and Miracles In a universe of chance Copying mistakes are made So we can advance Origins and Miracles Haunt us day by day We can make some sense of all It can be explained

Gimme skin behind my legs and arms And see me glide Just 'cause it's not soaring Doesn't mean it can't be flight 10 feet from tree to tree Is moving to efficiency Half a wing is everything If it's all that you need Gimme wings I wanna fly Into the air I wanna rise Getting of the ground Used to be so easy You just had to earn your wings Getting off the ground Defying gravity It is everybody's dream Living on cloud eight Still waiting for my nine Nesting in this moment Waiting in line - Give me time Wind currents always keep me lifted If I can feel it The abnormality of flying Is best explained by watching Avionic aspirations Following fowl play Structures of steel and strut The Wright way through the day Gimme wings I wanna fly Into the air I wanna rise Getting of the ground Used to be so easy You just had to earn your wings Getting off the ground Defying gravity It is everybody's dream Living on cloud eight Still waiting for my nine Nesting in this moment Waiting in line - Give me time Getting of the ground Used to be so easy You just had to earn your wings Getting off the ground Defying gravity It is everybody's dream Living on cloud eight Still waiting for my nine Nesting in this moment Waiting in line - Give me time

Learn to teach And teach to learn Open your eyes Knowledge returns Pass on the word The modern virus Spread it through the crowd Watch it grow Your mother taught you How to sing a song Your father showed you How to tie a knot Will you teach your kids In the same way Coming generations Will they play this game What makes us different Like no other Is that we can listen Learn from our father Mistakes that were made We don't have to repeat We've been given a choice If we care to believe Every single teacher Has been taught herself She takes this information And feeds the new machine Once there were wise men Who told a story Current tales spread on a web And rumours fuel the pages What makes us different Like no other Is that we can listen Learn from our father Mistakes that were made We don't have to repeat We've been given a choice If we care to believe What makes us different Like no other Is that we can listen Learn from our father Mistakes that were made We don't have to repeat We've been given a choice If we care to believe

In the dark of night a shadow flying Far above our range can't hear them crying When the dawn approaches They're headed to their home Sleep through the day To then awake at sunset They may not see But they can hear in color Paint a sonic picture in their heads So they can survive Eyes never seemed to be an option Left completely blind to hunt in darkness Their world it has no light And they don't need it An image made of sound To hear around They may not see But they can hear in color Paint a sonic picture in their heads So they can survive Experience with hearing eyes Light is not the only way to see Use a different wave See another way They may not see But they can hear in color Paint a sonic picture in their heads So they can survive Experience with hearing eyes Light is not the only way to see They may not see But they can hear in color Paint a sonic picture in their heads So they can survive Experience with hearing eyes Light is not the only way to see
Promise me you won't look up It could change your life Can you handle what you'll find? Stories you can not explain Unfold quite easily If you see the other side An open mind An attitude Of learning about something new There's always another way When clouds break and dissipate We are living an illusion A single point of view From horizon to horizon A blind spot in our mind Are there other was to be Other lives to live Meet a girl under the moon Beneath the stars Or above the grass A new image in your grasp Focus getting clearer Seize the moment, take it in Count on this - you just found out Three sides to every story None more right, not one will win An open mind An attitude Of learning about something new There's always another way When clouds break and dissipate We are living an illusion A single point of view From horizon to horizon A blind spot in our mind Are there other was to be Other lives to live Meet a girl under the moon Beneath the stars Or above the grass We are living an illusion A single point of view From horizon to horizon A blind spot in our mind Are there other was to be Other lives to live Meet a girl under the moon Beneath the stars Or above the grass
