Deviation From the Flow

Just a part of a great machine With wheels in constant motion Victims of our own doctrine Eluding personal notions Fear of changing keeps us in And around the belt we go Obey the rules of the machine Deviation from the flow Brings sanction for your soul And before you know You'll find yourself disassembled Cast out and alone We have seen the dawn of a better phase Lost in the fringes of time Always searching for the truth within our lies We move on and seek for a better place Caught in the assembly line Round and round until the light escapes our eyes Revolution o nthe rise Our way to different conditions As long as we can stay concise Stand fast in opposition Brings sanction for your soul And before you know You'll find yourself disassembled Cast out and alone We have seen the dawn of a better phase Lost in the fringes of time Always searching for the truth within our lies We move on and seek for a better place Caught in the assembly line Round and round until the light escapes our eyes Our rights are lost In the wheels of greediness Nobody cares when we're crawling Too tired to fight Too strained to loosen up Nobody seizes when we're falling We have seen the dawn of a better phase Lost in the fringes of time Always searching for the truth within our lies We move on and seek for a better place Caught in the assembly line Round and round until the light escapes our eyes

Blindness - blindness is the eye of the beholder Beholder - I have never seen Through smoke and mirrors Through cold and warm Wide open eyes Seeing nothing at all Darkness all around Only sense and sound To paint my picture Let me touch your face Just a brief embrace To paint your picture Are black and white even colours I cannot say There's something in between them The shades of grey Staring - staring with my eyes wide open Open - still seeing black Could you describe me Colours red and green I cannot tell 'Cause I've never seen Darkness all around Only sense and sound To paint my picture Let me touch your face Just a brief embrace To paint your picture Are black and white even colours I cannot say There's something in between them The shades of grey

Trying in vain To prove you're something special Playing the game Knowing you're bound to lose Through years of frustration Going against the wall Still trying to make it Still standing tall It's not about who you are It's all about who you know Where do you go When everything depends on others Striving again To prove you've got a point It's so insane When talent means nothing Through years of hard working Swimming against the mainstream Someday you will make it It's more than just a dream It's not about who you are It's all about who you know Where do you go When everything depends on others Trying in vain Playing the game Striving again It's so insane It's not about who you are It's all about who you know Where do you go When everything depends on others When everything depends on others

What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place? Dreams betrayed by dreams A random observation Guidelines get blurred Without guidance. It's a fine line between man and divinity A straight line from fame to an ex-celebrity A quick glance over my shoulder Just miles of empty road Sweat burning my eyes Feet ache on led road Another mile for me Another scenery The race is on But somehow I'm alone I used to know them all But someone proved me wrong Their names are gone but faces I remember What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place? The sun just passed the zenith I watch as it slowly sets Just keep on running exhausted As a man ever gets Stagnant is my progression Yet I'm right on course To finish first, cross the line To win the race of course Another mile for me Another scenery The race is on But somehow I'm alone I used to know them all But someone proved me wrong Their names are gone but faces I remember What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place?

When love's been replaced by hate And passion turned into rejection When every word has been said Anger takes over affection These walls provide cold comfort But at least a shelter rom the pour So we close this chapter So we close the door Between two hearts in anger Between two hearts in awe Between two different minds Finally provided Emotions intertwined I guess we're out of time Divided we are, two hearts too far We are... Emotions intertwined I guess we're out of time Divided we are, two hearts too far Divided we are... Through the window I watch the nothing Empty room, empty gaze Empty me... Watch the darkness Without seeing Empty streets. empty hearts Empty you... Emotions intertwined I guess we're out of time Divided we are, two hearts too far We are... Emotions intertwined I guess we're out of time Divided we are, two hearts too far Divided we are...

Years of preparations And finally we're here To begin our exploration Be cautious and persevere At dawn we set the course Through fields of ice and snow Where no man's been before Towards the pole we go Dark clouds gather while we sleep Blizzard starts on day five Suddenly we're in too deep Struggling to stay alive Impossible to see the cracks And so we lose a sleigh Impossible to stay on track Expedition gone astray As far as eye can see White fields fill the scenery The further north we get The sun will never set We go where no one ever had the chance to go We are the pioneers, pioneers in snow We go and conquer vast and icy plains of northpole Our expedition's the very first to know Bearing the magnetic north Any trail we take is southbound Finally the sky clears And we are moving on Our destination is near Seems like we have won Place our flag on the top of the world Feel relieved and proud In this place there is no north Any trail we take is southbound The further north we get The sun will never set We go where no one ever had the chance to go We are the pioneers, pioneers in snow We go and conquer vast and icy plains of northpole Our expedition's the very first to know Bearing the magnetic north Any trail we take is southbound

Stranded on a distant shore In far reaches of the mind Afraid to open up the door To the inside Time and space have no more meaning Where I am there is no way out The silent moment before leaving Way too loud This is not how I want to be Not even close to what I'd planned Now you've taken it all out of me Left me all alone drawing circles in the sand No return to the familiar Safe and soothing sanctuary Everythng seems so malignant Engulfed by treachery What you did I can't forgive Can barely understand Only reason for me to live My circles in the sand This is not how I want to be Not even close to what I'd planned Now you've taken it all out of me Left me all alone drawing circles in the sand

Once we were books on a shelf Patiently gathering dust Collection of fragile pages Slowly but surely combusting We are the flickering on your screen We are the files you can't redeem We are the green glow in your bedroom When you try to sleep at night We are unknown information We dwell in your R.O.M. We are ones and zeros Saved and yet condemned Our thoughts are reflections On the canvas of the universe Weightless ascension Through folders in reverse Is it fate? Is it pre-arranged? Connected through a cable Is it now? Is it somehow? Distracted and unable Is it true? Are we part of you? It depends on where you're standing Is it life? Is it worth of strive? It's not you but us commanding We are the static hum in your ears We are your deepest, darkest fear We are the image on your retina When you try to sleep at night Shallow conversations Lacking real substance Interfaces, in their faces Expressions never change We lurk behind your windows We make your icons bleed Through modem ports This mode imports a virus undetected Is it fate? Is it pre-arranged? Connected through a cable Is it now? Is it somehow? Distracted and unable Is it true? Are we part of you? It depends on where you're standing Is it life? Is it worth of strive? It's not you but us commanding Yesterday is today tomorrow Dreams in a time too near This path leads us nowhere But nowhere is better than here Once we were books on a shelf Patiently gathering dust Collection of fragile pages Slowly but surely combusting Is it fate? Is it pre-arranged? Connected through a cable Is it now? Is it somehow? Distracted and unable Is it true? Are we part of you? It depends on where you're standing Is it life? Is it worth of strive? It's not you but us commanding
