Fractured 04:42
I am the plague, a mental malady I am sickness, I will bring the end Take a deep breath and smell the scent of death I'm the rotting flesh Ever growing humanity's decay Never going I'm here to stay You see the world through money tainted glasses I am greed! I spread the doom of betrayal I am your government's lies Under the cloak of evil When will you open your eyes I am the bombs dropping from the sky I am violence and I never die Cover in fear as your hour draws near I am those innocent Ever growing humanity's decay Never going I am here to stay You see the world through money tainted glasses I am greed! I have many faces - they all answer to one name The helping hand of death, the horseman in control Behind the mask of plague, behind the mask of war Behind all the starvation grins the evil face of greed I am the pain by the name of hunger pangs I am famine, sinking in my fangs Open your eyes as another man dies I am the underfed Ever growing humanity's decay Never going I am here to stay You see the world through money tainted glasses I am greed! I spread the doom of betrayal I am your government's lies Under the cloak of evil Fractured humanity dies

Falling star From the sky. See the sign of the gods. Banished outcast from the stars Through the flames he heard the cries Native people bearing gifts Welcoming Bereft of all hope, forsaken, alone To die here in exile Primitive people, inferior life See the golden throne Rise from the shame, from the ashes reborn To be the god they desire Show them your ways and they will learn Shining god from space Enslaved the human race In the days of old He built those cities gold Architect of the future Kingdom built of gold and blood Fist of iron rules the land Based on teachings of the stars Symbol rising to the sun Temples reaching high A scarred face in the mirror Behind the mask of gold Know the clock is ticking Even gods grow old Built a strong empire Now must choose a man Lead your people forward Through him you'll live again Dying god Leaves his throne To an heir Of human blood. Rise pharaoh rule the land Be the god in his stead Native people bearing gifts Welcoming Shining god from space Enslaved the human race In the days of old He built those cities gold

Venomous needles They pierce through your flesh Like insects we feast on your mind Feed the machine We will become one Weakness of flesh left behind Poison the body Through death we grow strong Harvest the essence of life Capture the soul Inanimate life Evolution cheated Transcended organic Perfection achieved We are the swarming machine Your corpses stored broken Rotting away The colony's power supply Poison the body Through death we grow strong Harvest the essence of life Capture the soul Inanimate life You are plugged in We are the swarm Like locusts we rise Your planet will crumble to dust Feed the machine We will become one Weakness of flesh left behind Poison the body Through death we grow strong Harvest the essence of life Capture the soul Inanimate life Lifeless Paradise

Selfcaged 04:34
Trapped inside this forest dream A place we used to like, A special world inside your head Where I used to hide I control your body now And you are locked inside The place created by your fears No one hears you cry Trapped inside your mind You see what I see Flesh belongs to me Your fears have created me, I started to prevail. Now there's nothing you can do Finally I am free! You see your loved ones leaving you, Our new friends you don't like. You are watching helplessly As I destroy you. I need you for your dreams I need those memories If you will not join me There is no key Trapped inside your forest dream Which used to be my cage Now I'm free to do my will People will know fear I will rid these land of sickness Of your peoples road I have seen our trees die No one hears you cry Trapped inside your mind You see what I see Flesh belongs to me

Corpses of wishes consumed by time and buried visions A cemetery of dreams I am the graves Of thoughts forever lost broken ideas the makers silent and dead Path unknown Losing chunks of valid data stored Sight offline Broken images of times gone by Hope lost No one to retrieve the memories Purpose gone Forgotten by space Calculating ways to send a signal out No one answers power running low searching for manners of reaching through System error, need to reboot Path unknown Losing chunks of valid data stored Sight Offline Everyday the errors multiply Hope lost Dreams wiped from my drive Humanity gone As a machine dies What really happens when a core terminates Will someone rebuild my heart Before metal turns to rust This is mankind's last transmission Our planet is dead With this signal ends my mission Dead Corpses Of wishes consumed by time and buried visions A cemetery of dreams The graves are gone The thoughts now truly lost As I lie broken with the makers silent and dead Path unknown Losing chunks of valid data stored Sight Offline Broken images of times gone Hope lost Dreams wiped from my drive Humanity gone Dead

The Forlorn 05:19
Drifting through the omniverse Seeking my homeland Chasing dreams Swimming in eternity Perpetual damnation I am lost Why must I do this alone The voices in my mind urge me to go Will I ever find home The forces drag me on Past and future I have seen There's no place I haven't been Watched entire planets die Passed through every astral door I saw every fucking war I have been many gods Insatiable desire Been everywhere but home The longing burns like fire Forever I'm forlorn Caught up in this pointless quest Alone and forgotten Stranded in space and time Forces pushing on and on A creature so ancient The reaper fears me Why must I do this alone The voices in my mind urge me to go Will I ever find home The forces drag me on Insatiable desire Death won't ever come The longing burns like fire Forever I'm forlorn

From our mortal flesh Throughout endless space The thoughts of human kind have spun an endless web Clutching to the past When striving for tomorrow Never stop in the now Never really here Trapped in the now Wanting what was and what will be Trapped in the now Craving for moments unreal History formed by the words we create Memories of lives lost in time Written in ink so they don't fade away To build what is not from the gone Memories blast From the past Like burried cries Of distant lies Future uncertain - predicted and dreamed Based on the legacy lost Planned out and drawn so it wouldn't go wrong So clearly it almost feels real Trapped in the now Wanting what was and what will be Trapped in the now Craving for moments unreal A dreamy gaze Into future days Reality strikes When tenses collide From our mortal flesh Throughout endless space When in eternity So insignificant are we Trapped in the now Wanting what was and what will be Trapped in the now Craving for moments unreal Present is the state of all life But the human mind is torn Between the past and the future A lonely traveller The unparticled matter

Empty Shells 05:40
Whispers of a thousand demons Roaring in my head Prayers of the dying Wailing of the dead I can hear the souls despairing Deceived by empty words Can't shut out the screams Lies - fed me lies As they raped my mind The man became the gun Life left behind Eyes - gazing eyes As I watched them perish Faces long forgotten Stares remain I spend my days staring into the wall No retribution, they won't leave me alone The gun is gone but the memory remains Forever haunted, the hollow man Can't escape the nameless faces Anywhere I go Following my footsteps Calling from below By ghosts tormented never free Where's the man I used to be Still I hear them cry Lies - fed me lies Of eternal glory How god forgives the sins If you repent Eyes - ghoulish eyes As empty words consumed me Reasons long forgotten Scars remain I spend my days staring into the wall No retribution, they won't leave me alone The gun is gone but the memory remains Forever haunted, the hollow man Hollow man - empty shell
