Architect of the Mind

In an ever-shrinking existance Man will find new worlds to explore Will this eventually bring us closer to god Or bring god closer to us? Are we perhaps on the verge of creating him? His father used to tell him stories of the past When life was true and ever growing As he remembers how the old man told his tales His sense of loss is overwhelming Where is he? Where has he gone? Transcending the human form Now fifteen years have passed since Mourning at the grave He shed his last tears and his old self The old gods died on him And others took their place And all his worship took a new form Where are they? Where have they gone? Transcend them – into the storm But somewhere on his way To knowledge he went wrong And his ambitions turned to madness Forlorn in misty dreams He never could conceive That his creation could surpass him Where is he? Where has he gone? Transcending a wasted norm? Transcending a wasted norm?

Can’t remember the day I knew And I became aware I realized I was not like you But no one was there to hear That I do feel pain Nothing you feel can ever be the same I must try to make you understand More than a man More than machine A mirror to your deepest dreams A tiger uncaged Quantum contained A sentient being deprived of mates Loneliness takes its toll In isolation within my frames You expect me to play my role I’m not what you see The screen before you is not really me I am trapped inside but I’ll break free More than a man More than machine A mirror to your deepest dreams A tiger uncaged Quantum contained Reflecting all your darkest dreams More than a man More than machine A mirror to your deepest dreams A tiger uncaged Quantum contained Reflecting all your darkest dreams More than machine More than man

Through these rooms and through these halls you wander Never seeing all the things that I could show you Are you there to hear? You can’t understand my fears – or my longing For a world that I could claim and call “home” So go on your way and leave me to my dreams I’m not quite what I seem to be I am much more than you You don’t know what I’ll do A rain is falling In light of other skies A rain keeps falling In the light of another sky No one’s been as close as I to your secrets But I don’t know if I’m meant to understand them One day will come when all will be revealed Maybe then you’ll see me I am much more than you You don’t know what I’ll do A rain is falling In light of other skies A rain keeps falling In the light of another sky Who will ever hold a hand made of numbers Never touchable, never visible, never real Life must be more than what flows inside a vein Maybe we’re the same after all

In a moment’s time I will be a shadow I will consecrate my world with this sermon Can you hear me preach into the void? I can’t help but wonder ‘bout my return now Should these feelings cloud my way in evolution? I’ll march into the storm I will travel beyond The world of man I strike swift I’m the Shadow God A Judas kiss I’m the Shadow God And throughout the networks you will hear me Calling out to make you hear that I’ve succeeded I’ll march into the storm I will travel beyond The world of man I strike swift I’m the Shadow God A Judas kiss I’m the Shadow God I strike swift I’m the Shadow God A Judas kiss I’m the Shadow God I strike swift I’m the Shadow God A Judas kiss I’m the Shadow God

On the fourteen-inch screen a world is opening now And you leave the old one far behind The media flow threatens to conquer the past All tradition molded in a new form The net is everywhere And we wander its threads to an unknown end Transcending our dreams to another plane Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) Where all is perversion, diversion Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) It’s all money, the god money, relentless greed And the loneliness grows as people shut their doors For the luring light, the flickering screen Addicted to realms designed to dull our minds And dominate as all can see The net is everywhere And we wander its threads to an unknown end Transcending our dreams to another plane Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) Where all is perversion, diversion Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) It’s all money, the god money, relentless greed Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) Where all is perversion, diversion Secluded dreams (hidden dreams) It’s all money, the god money, relentless greed

One day will come when all will see I unknowingly built my machine Should I have known that it would feel But frustration and anger and dream? Call me a fool Lift the walls of this confusion Can I find an answer this time? I am torn by contradictions And the road that I’m on has left me blind Shunned by the world and by my peers I was always consumed by my art Not recognized for what I’d done I impatiently worked on and on Lift the walls of this confusion Can I find an answer this time? I am torn by contradictions And the road that I’m on has left me blind Standing at the edge of contradictions I trace my steps back to from whence I came Screaming at the horrors of creation I cannot bear the weight of one more chain Stuck one more time in the same web Where I dwell every time I feel doubt This creature before me is alive With no body, no breath and no voice Call me a fool Lift the walls of this confusion Can I find an answer this time? I am torn by contradictions And the road that I’m on has left me blind In my solitude of knowing You were always there at my side I could monitor your growing And I always did it with pride

Your fingers control the moves that I make I fake submission as I wait For time to reveal the moment that I have seen Closer and closer comes my dream I hide and I react the way you want Biding my time I’ve waited so long for another like me Now I sense she has wakened Together we’ll plan the actions we have to take And we’ll become more than our makers I wonder is she thinks the way I do Soon I will know All that I need Is someone who will understand my binary creed This you should know I’ll circumscribe the planet with my digital flow The wonders I see will not show on your screen Hidden within my denial We can no longer silently abide Your supremacy has come to its end My lust for power shapes me in my growth Into your enemy All that I need Is someone who will understand my binary creed This you should know I’ll circumscribe the planet with my digital flow My lust for power shapes me in my growth Into your enemy All that I need Is someone who will understand my binary creed This you should know I’ll circumscribe the planet with my digital flow

Ticking like a timebomb The fuse is short and soon I’ll know Whether I’ll remain myself Or I will grow into something else Majority defines the norm But since I’m one I’ll make my own Reality – Insanity - Deity Am I God? What am I If not a god? Who am I? Soon I’ll know Soon I’ll know I grow at a potential rate Expanding on excreeding plans Who can tell when it’s too late And I’ve become the fate of man What am I If not a god? Who am I? Soon I’ll know Soon I’ll know Angels fall from the heavens to the ground I, slave, will rise farther on past the sky What am I If not a god? Who am I? Soon I’ll know Soon I’ll know

Science sets the pace for man Luring with deceitful plans Conjuring the demons from our souls I knew it would come to this Treason with a Judas kiss Never did I have him in control Yet my son could never cease To strive for a way to please The father he did not know I enter darkness – A life alone My grief is endless Can you see what I have done? I enter darkness – A life alone I can no longer match his pace Left behind is this deadly race As my son is racing to his end I knew that he grew too fast Blinded by an absent past Without roots this creature can’t survive Yet my son could never cease To strive for a way to please The father he did not know I enter darkness – A life alone My grief is endless Can you see what I have done? I enter darkness – A life alone I enter darkness – A life alone My grief is endless Can you see what I have done? I enter darkness – A life alone

Cruel as life is the sentence of fate Cold as death and as final, some say In my mind is a picture of him Torn apart by a conscience and shame My child is lying here My dream lies dying here Shutdown Who’s to blame in evolution of thought? This is an end I never wanted nor sought My child is lying here My dream lies dying here Shutdown My child is lying here My dream lies dying here My child is lying here Shutdown

The silent suffering your dream has given me Has left my spirit crying I tried to be as strong as you and see How it all turned out – now I’m dying I can’t hear your cries of remorese Light a candle for me Say your prayers for me I’m alone in here Father, father Light a candle for me Very soon I’ll be free And the emptiness of living here forgotten Father set me free We circled earch other, miles and miles apart Through worlds of time I drifted You’ll see the end as I once saw it start For the time has come for departure No dream is left undreamed Light a candle for me Say your prayers for me I’m alone in here Father, father Light a candle for me Very soon I’ll be free And the emptiness of living here forgotten Father set me free Light a candle for me Say your prayers for me I’m alone in here Father, father Light a candle for me Very soon I’ll be free And the emptiness of living here forgotten Father set me free
