Scream 02:49
I Feel the signal die Feed the neon high Need to wander in this maze of glass and burning chrome I need to find my home I need to be alone I have to go I think I lost my mind somewhere back there Where Light The city burns at night I can’t give up the fight I knew this wasn’t right Why won’t you tell me why I’m here Near Feel Fear What? Tell me what you want Tell me you forgot Tell me that there’s nothing in this world that I can do I feel it falling through I knew I needed you I knew I wasn’t strong enough to do this by myself Please Need help… All these things I keep inside All these things I try to hide Feel the human bleed to death I am a machine instead All these things that live inside All these things I cannot hide Feel the human bleed to death I am a machine instead I am a machine No No I bet you never thought it would turn out this way No no no no

Slave 03:58
Close my eyes Feel it fading Slipping downwards into oblivion The wings of angels overhead But I know they’re too late to save me One more night Wasted waiting Dead inside I pray for deliverance I cannot forgive myself I will not forgive this Slave I will not be caged Fuck it all Tear it down None of this means anything anyway Fall into insanity So grey and cold and lifeless Suddenly So fucking cold Close my eyes and beg forgiveness Can’t forget the sacrifice but I swear this is The end… Slave I will not be caged Slave I will not obey Slave I don’t need your salvation Slave Now it has begun… How many moments Murdered as they pull you under There will be no shelter For you How many moments Fading as you close your eyes There will be no truth There will be no truth I cannot forgive No Close my eyes I know I’m losing Broken, burnt So far from heaven Deep inside I understand This feeling is insane One more time I fucking need you Give me comfort in delusion I would give my pride For just one second without pain Slave I will not be caged Slave I will not obey Slave I don’t need your salvation Slave Now it has begun

Dead Gods 03:36
Broken and crumbling A pitiful abomination Pawing at the edges of the things we could have seen We are lifeless Brokenhearted eulogy Empty words that wash away the death inside the dream The great bell tolls Your gods are dead And now the only path leads deeper... Down into fury Ignorant brutality Grovel at the feet of what you made Neon and alcohol Broken glass and apathy Wallow in the ashes of your hate Reality dismembered Everything is relative Reason distempered Pontificating idiot Tyranny is fine as long as you’re the one Who holds the gun Down into fury Ignorant brutality Grovel at the feet of what you’ve made Neon and alcohol Broken glass and apathy Wallow in the ashes of your hate Crush Bleed Dead seed Where is your humanity? Rain falls down Twice the city took my pain Rain falls down Coming to the end again Rain falls down Rain falls down The road to hell is paved with good intent Dead gods Dead gods Rain falls down...

Prophecy 03:13
Halo Dark like dawn Cracked the sky Don’t know why Don’t know why it should come Tried so hard not to run Now there’s nothing inside Such a terrible lie I’m awake and it’s morning And fragments keep falling And nothing can change this Escape this I’m dying in this room I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee New machines begin to breathe I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee I saw this in my dreams Rusting love Break the sky Don’t know why At the dying of days As the heart fades away And you know you can’t change it You made it It’s all you’ll ever have I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee Deified technology I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee I saw this place in dreams Burn Die Now… And everything you figured out could never have prepared you for that day And with all you understand you know there’s nothing you can do To make her stay So stay... I foresee I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee Dying dreams when dreams will breathe I foresee Forgotten in your prophecy I foresee I saw this place in dreams

Fall from grace A time that came before Sunlit higher thoughts All erased Just empty subroutines A burning heart stripped away Black sun sets through the smoke above the skyline Broken hearts, burning dreams The city breathes on the altar of mirrors All is never as it seems The fading murder of these ancient memories Chaos heart left to rot But one dark day you know they will come to find you I was a fool to trust in locks But I... I will never be your fucking slave No I... I won’t live my life that way Blinded and burning Numbers you can’t understand Simulation brings release Repeat preset motions To try to see the meaning Pattern matching on your knees But I... I will never be your fucking slave No I... I won’t live my life that way No Upgrade to a better lie In my heart I still defy Upgrade to a better lie No God, money, blood, money God, money, blood I... I will never be your fucking whore No I... I won’t do this anymore No Upgrade to a better lie In my heart I still defy Upgrade to a better lie No

Wetwork 03:53
Bleeding Mouthing words you cut me open Dreaming My screaming heart you hold There is No second path on the horizon Watch as The darkest depths unfold If I told you I was on the brink of death Would you listen Would you listen If I told I was ready for the end Would you listen Would you…? Broken Slivers Pull right through the Ruin of my heart Hatred Deepest seeds Once buried Tearing you apart If I told you I was on the brink of death Would you listen Would you listen If I told I was ready for the end Would you listen Would you listen There are only ashes Falling from the sky Sign your name, leave the world behind And I I’m not afraid... Never again Your mouth making promises This is the end My soul is a lie Never again Justification A means to an end No point asking why Never again The process won’t stop The world fades away Night takes the day Never again The shot ringing out Is the last thing you hear The end of the fear Bleed me out Bleed me out I’m prepared There are only ashes Falling from the sky There are only ashes Falling from the sky...

Lost the Way 04:02
Putrid rusting neon nightmare Never thought I’d felt like this before Total death of inspiration Nothing matters anymore Burn like stars in the distant skyline Blind as the blood flowing all too fast Here in the dark the machine takes over They all told you it won’t last Cold like death in the black light sunrise Coiled in the heart of the god machine Every night it’s here again I can’t forget these things I’ve seen I feel fucking nothing And just like that it's cold and dead And just like that you went so far away I feel fucking nothing And just like that it's cold and dead And just like that I lost the way Hope is just a simulation Dreams so close but always out of reach Sold my heart now cut me open Razors tear from underneath I feel fucking nothing And just like that it's cold and dead And just like that you went so far away I feel fucking nothing And just like that it's cold and dead And you cannot survive... Now All this time You never thought about the pain you need You paid no heed And all this time You crossed the line And now you'll see You’ll bleed You’ll bleed... Cold like death in the black light sunrise And every fucking night it’s all the same I feel fucking nothing And just like that it's cold and dead And just like that you went so far away I feel fucking nothing And just like that It’s cold and dead I lost my only way

Dreamkillers 03:20
Blackened Weeping sores Where they took your eyes Burned them out with irons So you could wander blind Broken Agony They saw the doubts that linger Burned your heart to ashes So you won’t lift a finger Against them It will never end Against them It will never end Immortal Murderers We have always known Preying on the hopeless Feeding on the bones Demon Emperor Suckle at his sores So you won’t lift a finger In this eternal war Against them It will never end Against them It will never end It will never end No What do we leave For those who come after? What do we leave For those we’ve left behind? What do we leave For those who come after? The killers of dreams and an altar of lies Sky black with cinders And blood black like ink The edge of extinction We dance on the brink as they’re raping our world And we swallow the lies Begging for more While they bleed us dry Blackened Weeping sores Where they took your eyes Afterwards you thanked them You didn’t want the light Broken Agony They saw you might rebel Tore your soul to pieces And shackled you in hell Vomiting hate While you cheer them for more Killers of dreams rob the dead where they fall Die in their city Or die in their war Killers of dreams leaving nothing at all

Time is split in two as the technology accelerates Simulation only the beginning of the end Perception, definition, recollection, recognition Limitations of the memory are all we comprehend Self-perpetuation in a structural integrity Decaying in an artifact of secondary dreaming Reality collapse into robotic misanthropia Illusion and delusion as a substitute for meaning… Data shifts regenerative everything we’ll never know Analysis becoming individuality Mindless, generate, eat fight procreate Destiny is waiting for a day we’ll never see Humanity will regulate Everything we contemplate Black rain obliterates the failure in the end Dead dawn banners rise Ash twists in the sky All we can perceive to be what we intend Your sun dawns behind a veil It will bring what you fear And a fire in the sky It will come here to pull you away And the damage will fall far beyond understanding And thousands will die from the fear that they find in the change Steel sky full of pain Watch blood fall like rain This network only brings your end In the end Fall It’s all just fucking circuitry, an implant in my spine So tell me you don’t think about what’s coming for us further down the line Vision cannot guide you past this ghost in your machines We alter everything we touch and burn the truth within the dream The neon city breathes beneath a dying future sun A metaphor in atrophy, I know I’m not the one And I know you say you’re innocent And try to pass the blame But it really doesn’t matter now None of this will ever be the same Show me, whatever forces you on I know all of this comes down to nothing Show me whatever waits in the dawn Why can’t I care? Why can’t I feel something? Tell me, what fucking pushes you on? What makes you try when your world turns to nothing? Hopeless now that I know it’s too late And the feeling you get when you know that you can’t turn away… Leave it here Can’t you see It’s over now? Can’t you see You’re older now? Everything seems Colder now And nothing seems to change… Show me whatever forces you on I know all of the words come to nothing Show me whatever waits in the dawn I watched as everything burned down to nothing Tell me, what fucking pushes you on? What is there left when your world turns to nothing? Burning...everything turning to dust And I know it’s too late but I wish there were some other way.
