Stuck in the middle of a warzone I feel your cry Knee deep, I hear the sound Lighting up the sky Shelling, the cowards let it rain From a tag on the wall The violent coloration on the faces of the youth Enraged them all Lies, feeding lies We are the rebels Lies, feeding lies We are the rebels Dying (hit the ground) Hiding (face first down) Are we too far from no return? Dying (hit the ground) Hiding (face first down) Where's the path to sovereignty نحن لسنا العدو (nahn lasna aleadua "we are not the enemy") نحن نريد السلام (nahn nurid alsalam "we want peace") Turned to ashes Our paradise reduced to dust We are not the ones to fear Misunderstood in sadness Painted blood-red stains We breathe the same And we bleed the same Dying Hiding Are we too far from no return? Dying (hit the ground) Hiding (face first down) Where's the path to sovereignty

Don't think, don't speak, watch out, don't blink, dissent is a cry for the dead. Chin up, back straight, don't ask, just hate! The serpent's alive, you are all crucified. Tear down the walls again, and all that remains. He'll see your good deeds and raise you two rights, he'll lose it all just to stay in the fight. And if you're still blind sing praise from your knees, his heel in your back from once where you stood free. Building your walls again, and all that remains. Broken, broken, leave the lies, no use in defending. Shattered and fragile to the core. So hail to Deathmocracy, Hell for your thoughtcrimes, hail to your piety. Oh the irony the antidote is the disease, the balancing of ignorance and atrophy. Tear down the walls again, it's more of the same. Broken, broken, leave the lies, no use in defending. Shattered and fragile to the core.

Light-years and shadows, you'll never see the end of day Distant horizon, far beyond the past you cannot save Whispers, no silence, echoing the sounds from far away Sequenced pariahs, following the footsteps to your grave Pulling me down the undertow It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed Beyond the distance is out of reach There's no more I can take Light-years, you'll never see the end of day Distant, it's far beyond you cannot save Pulling me down the undertow It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed Beyond the distance is out of reach Pulling me down the undertow It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed Beyond the distance is out of reach Single file form inline

Light, great rays of light Speak from the sun Now it's your turn Find the echoes of time Warping your mind Conscious to all your senses Stranger than illusion Sifting through the hands of time And when you reach for the stars, hold on And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go Come, now what do you see Can we imagine life without you All that's changing and rearranging The suffering is what we've come to now And when you reach for the stars, hold on And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go Fear not what you've become Not what you see Nor things that could never be And when you reach for the stars, hold on And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

Lightning (charging with a vengeance) Strikes you (spreading like fire) Takes you down, down, down Sell me what's real become desensitized Pushing their own point of view Lies, shoving it down, down, your throat, lies System (no communication) Broken (poisoned motherfuckers) Spins you round, round, round Media persuasion, speeches and names Paved by the one's with the crown Lies distort your mind, makes you blind Tonight your freedom dies The scars to prove it no reason or no rhyme The twisted web of lies Just take your time and hurry up You're free to do what you're told Propaganda fashion Propaganda fashion Lightning strikes, tension builds Social cancer rots you away Crimes, what's it take to realize Tonight your freedom dies The scars to prove it no reason or no rhyme The twisted web of lies Just take your, just take your time Propaganda fashion Propaganda fashion Propaganda Propaganda fashion

If I leave Would you wait for me? If I fall Would you pray for me? When I'm gone Will they remember me Or fade away Into eternity? Nothing lasts forever I can't forget the past I'm searching for the answers Through the bottom of a glass Now this empty road I'm too weak to ride alone I've come this far But I've so far to go (Down) Down on me When it rains it pours Till we all fall down Do the pictures on the wall Mean anything at all Or just your selfish way To cope with all the pain? At night I hear the screams Echo in my dreams And when I've hit the ground You kick me when I'm down (Down) Down on me (Down on me) Drowning me (Drowning me) No use in pretending Like we've done before (Down) Down on me (Down on me) My dark reverie Nothing lasts forever Just revolving doors (Take) Take me away Away from all the pain Take me in his place So far away Away from empty streets Streets I've only known Only left to roam Roam to the other side So take, take me Why don't you take me away? We all fall We all hurt We all bleed We all fall We all hurt We all bleed (Down) Down on me (Down on me) Drowning me (Drowning me) No use in pretending Like we've done before (Down) Down on me (Down on me) My dark reverie Nothing lasts forever Just revolving doors

Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well You don't even trust yourself Why do we face the same things if change is a constant? Have we not learned from the past, from the past! The stillborn star we'll never know The parent's love that won't let go The bullied teen that's ready to shoot A tear and a 21 gun salute Welcome to the age of misinformation Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger Why do we face the same things if change is a constant? Have we not learned from the past As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently The poisoning of tribes To the lifeline of Flint Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds We will never consent The night-watch man just buying his time An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment One dollar bill, no table for two So many questions no one ever asked As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently As we all fall down As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently
Hear the voices in your head Do they speak of grand delusion Moral truths to comprehend The soul's contusion, the scarred reunion And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me? Colors change from black to red, I'll never remember Still you search for the meaning Strange lies hypnotize me you know, I'll never surrender And still you scream from madness And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me? Fantasy, dreaming, can you feel me? There are many truths behind these eyes that you see On one side love and laughter, the other darkened disbelief Searching for the sunset clause for my release Sincerely, Mr. Post-traumatic looking for some peace And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me? Fantasy, dreaming And you dream, you know I'm dreaming Fantasy

All alone still searching Patiently holding on She cries and cries Wondering when will it end She tries and tries Hopes and dreams will fade The sky lost in grey No light to find your way Still she pulls through another day The hurt he wears broken Lines on his face, emptiness He cries and cries Hoping she'll be there again He tries and tries Never to surrender When you're lost and lonely and you're reaching for me The sky lost in grey No light to find your way Only time will tell The sky lost in grey No light to find your way When you're lost and lonely and you're reaching for me

As you awoke this morning and opened up your eyes Did you notice the tear-stains lining your face were mine Don't you wonder, can't you see what's happening to our lives I can't keep living this masquerade When my lonely eyes see only your face at night I only see in infrared I can't dream anymore Can't you see I need to I can't stand the pain You've gathered all my secrets and I don't know who I am I even feel alone when you're near 'cause you'll never understand When we first met I must have seemed a million miles away It's strange how our lives have touched But the time is right I'll leave tonight Don't look in my eyes 'Cause you've never seen them so black I only see in infrared I can't dream anymore Can't you see I need to I can't stand the pain

Shades of grey were the colors of my soul Accepted miseries embraced for oh so long The hands of time sweeping all my dreams away Lost in a circumstantial maze Moving on to another day Searching for a brighter shade of grey A somber silhouette displays the beauty of a dream Until I realized your open eyes in front of me You color my life with everything you do And this open road only leads me back to you Moving on to another day Searching for a better way (a better way) Seek and you will find the cure a blessing in disguise right before your eyes

Well I lost my way today The midnight sun is so far away I choose a [?] sketch inside my brain I'm praying to the spirits as I go insane The darkness fades like a memory A second chance is what I really need With no more time to waste, I'll just find the way To the sky, searching stargazer To the sky, a cold constellation To the sky, to the sky, to the sky Reflections, oh The darkness strikes in the same place Electric things like an interstate(?) Illuminations for(?) exploit the night The fragmеnts gone, poetic sight Survive or ravagе is in time(?) I've got no time to waste or else I'll find the way To the sky, searching stargazer To the sky, a cold constellation To the sky, to the sky, to the sky Reflections, oh To the sky, searching stargazer To the sky, a cold constellation To the sky, to the sky, to the sky Reflections, oh To the sky To the sky To the sky, to the sky, to the sky Reflections, oh

Space and time The fragments of your mind disappear Transport, rewind The torch as you will find in the tomb It's time to save your soul The shadows of free will Dance among the darkness tonight Spinning 'round in light speed Travel all the ways to the past Return, we're just beginning Walk to the edge I'm there beside you We are as one always Falling from grace It's your salvation The machines will run race Ride with me into the black hole of infinity (Love is not dust from your hands. It will find the way) Walk to the еdge I'm there bеside you We are as one always Falling from grace It's your salvation The machine will run race

Crawl into my conscience Identify yourself Purified me with evil In my soul Screams from all the madness Inside this crowded hell The moon is rising While egos turn to stone Dead of night Leaving you blind Echoes in your final breath Anticipating your world to salvation You'll find me there You're all alone Walk empty streets to nowhere Hallucinating your life's confession Dead of night Leaving you blind Echoes in your final breath Anticipating your world to salvation You'll find me there

In the dead of night She'll come and take you away Searing beams of light and thunder Over blackened plains She will find her way Flying high through the night She will hide your fate As she takes your soul from under And the blinding light of the castle fades There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich The Queen of the Reich Yeah she's coming for you You're fading away Your life cast astray A victim the beast shall obtain The light will not shine For you'll die tonight at her shrine And black is the last thing you'll see Over and over Dreams of dying fill your head It's the sign of the cross That you'll find ahead No one will answer The light is fading away Captive souls are screaming out in pain There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich You're fading away, No, No, No The Queen of the Reich You're slipping away, yeah The Queen of the Reich

Light tracers follow me further into the depths of the unknown. The blackness surrounding the borders of hope, we're alone. We plead for the signs of a second chance in hopes it will stifle the fear. The dying remains of a world gone insane, we are near the end. A course that will lead us through darkness, prepared by our leaders insist. We mustn't fall prey to the shadow of the iron fist. We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead, the force all around us we feel. The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal. Enforcer... Master of nations revealed, the beams from his soul you will feel. Slicing and tearing our way to the gate, a towering fortress of blackened steel. Desolate plains holding dying remains, heed the call of the master. We'll soar to the edges of time! Light tracers follow me further into the depths of the unknown. The blackness surrounding the borders of hope, we're alone. We plead for the signs, give us a second chance in hopes it will stifle the fear. The battered remains of world gone insane, we are near. Enforcer... Master of nations revealed, the beams from his soul you will feel. Enforcer... Master of nations revealed, the beams from his soul you will feel. Once long ago we had to hide in the shadows of the land to keep us away from the crawl, Enforcer's taking hold of us all.

Wings of fire, are sailing past the point of no return Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key Seek to rise, begotten are the fools who'll never know Force will hide the presence that we see There's no time to run away A prophecy will make its stay Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown To justify the formulated scheme So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond The closing gates of our society There's no time to run away A prophecy will make its stay

All alone now Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Everytime I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare Is this all that's left Of my life before me Straight jacket memories, sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare] How many times must I live this tragedy How many more lies will they tell me All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here, and for how long And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare
