Open the Iron Gate
05:46

(I) opened my eyes in a world full of serenity
no need to fight when you know you're free
(Wait,) just live and die, waste time that will never return
I will not shine, at least I won’t burn
(Nursed,) into accepting prison
(Cursed,) being taught the same lesson
over and over and everywhere again
(Raised,) and be taught how to wonder
(Blessed,) with the right for an answer
this way planting the seeds of indifference
Force on the bars, break the iron gate,
made by our mind, and you will find
(Overcome fears,) place your eyes on fate,
open your mind, leave this behind
(Why,) can't I get rid of this feeling of emptiness
why do I live? what's my purpose?
(Fate,) is not written down I feel I hold it in my hands
why are they tied?
(Burn,) set the flames free within me
(Learn,) how to listen, how to see
and how to perceive what is reality
(Break,) explode my own boundaries
(Take,) up your courage and cease
to be the one who flees from the fear he sees
Force on the bars, break the iron gate,
made by our mind, and you will find
(Overcome fears,) place your eyes on fate,
open your mind, leave this behind
Destroy this shell of peace
to see what’s underneath
But what if I’m wrong
and all was true all along
There will be no way back
once I’ll have made it crack
I will bear all the fault
or be the savior of all
I am the wielder
of the double-edged blade
I will reshape this world
this world that I made
Force on the bars, break the iron gate,
made by our mind, and you will find
(Overcome fears,) place your eyes on fate,
open your mind, leave this behind

Heretic

This thing here is me,
that in the mirror I see,
have to wear this tie
can’t breathe even if I try
you say I look great
my entire life I wait
Conform to society
can’t you see I want to be free
Dreams, I’m standing tall
and face the crowd for my ideals
When I am awake my eyes and acts
remain asleep
For I would burn
for who I am
Standing proud
in the view
of the crowd
That’s the price to pay
to live life my way
Ready to take the blame
genius or outlaw's the same
Found my way to peace
make all my doubts cease
Because I can now see
there's a way for me to be free
Now I’m standing tall
and face the crowd for my ideals
I have made the choice for my eyes and acts
to become free
I will burn
for who I am
Standing proud
in the view
of the crowd
It doesn't matter anymore
If I do nothing or fight a war
It doesn't matter anymore
If I do nothing or fight a war
I’m standing in front of people
who just like me in their
dreams are standing tall
And face the others for their ideals
When they are awake their eyes and acts
remain asleep
Now I burn
for who I am
Standing proud
in the view
of the crowd

Ocean
08:33

The earth where humans are born,
her children had her surface torn
They aren't as kind as she is
Destruction though they can't find,
another rock where they can hide
Just blow it all to pieces
I named one of the selfish reasons,
cause the threat of running out of seasons,
might push us to save our own hide,
but no, we all stand and watch the rise of the tide
I want to escape
from this current
that is diving
deeper in the dark
from which there is no return
Powerless
It feels like a drop fighting the ocean
The wave of everything crushing the one
Fighting not to drown in the ocean
Steer this ship in the right direction
We've no claws but we have brains,
after ages our species reigns
We stand above natures law
This puts us in charge of life,
we shouldn’t bring it to the knife
We should obey a moral call
The one who can see his reflection
in the mirror he has broken
be the guardian of those who can’t see
be the protector of morality
I want to escape
from this current
that is diving
deeper in the dark
from which there is no return
Powerless
It feels like a drop fighting the ocean
The wave of everything crushing the one
Fighting not to drown in the ocean
Steer this ship in the right direction
No one can escape this tidal wave
when the endless sea will become our grave
Bringing down the memory
of the beauty we forgot to see
We should not forget who we are
Remember the sight of the sun rise in a colored dawn
Powerless
It feels like a drop fighting the ocean
The wave of everything crushing the one
Fighting not to drown in the ocean
Steer this ship in the right direction

Dead Inspiration
04:58
|
|||
|
Focused on our future
Scared of what lies ahead
Still looking for a cure
To cheat the reign of dead
Ignoring what lies before
Hunger, pain and war
Refuse to see thrash of our welfare
In an effort to hard to bear
I wish we knew the answers
To the questions no one asks
I wish we knew the answers
to the questions no one dares to ask
Find a way for the best or the worse
passivity is our greatest curse
Let’s explain to our children
What we have done
In the madness of our dead inspiration
I wish we knew the answers
To the questions no one asks
I wish we knew the answers
but it seems it’s no use to ask
I wish we knew the answers
To the questions no one asks
I wish we knew the answers
To the questions no one dares to ask
Find a way for the best or the worse
passivity is our greatest curse

The Call
05:18
|
|||
|
After walking the same road for
years, talking about a change of
course, fearing to reach a dead
end, nearing the big crossroad
Which one should we take when all have different outcomes
Now it’s too late to worry what my life becomes
The true dead end is behind pushing us forward
Sailing this captain-less ship we are all onboard
Destiny is forged by who we are
Destiny is destroyed if we go too far
Can't you hear the call
that comes from within?
Don't you fear our fall
when trapped in your skin?
Need power in order to
feed our endless thirst and
greed however through my choice others
bleed forever am I to blame?
We all work on our dreams of evolution
to work with humanity's degeneration
Why is an idea so exposed to corruption?
Curiosity and greed all need satisfaction
Destiny is forged by who we are
Destiny is destroyed if we go too far
Can't you hear the call
that comes from within?
Don't you fear our fall
when trapped in your skin?
Isn't it being free
to satisfy curiosity,
to overcome our fright,
and see beyond our sight
Even though the wise
told us we'd pay the price
because our creations can be,
a blessing or a curse in disguise
Destiny is forged by who we are
Destiny is destroyed if we go too far
Can't you hear the call
that comes from within?
Don't you fear our fall
when trapped in your skin?

Creator
04:54

The masters of destruction,
on the verge of extinction
are forsaken and standing all alone
Facing the wasteland they made,
their strength is starting to fade,
their end seems to be written down in stone
(stone), Feeling the pressure of fate we give up our fight to live
We're ignoring the future we'd build if only we'd stand strong
Isn't it easier to turn away your head,
and choose not to see all the dead?
Isn’t it easier to leave your life to chance,
and hope someone else will make the difference?
We're making our savior
to get what we reach for,
when we stick our hands out towards the light
It is not over,
we'll live on forever,
when standing in the shadow of its might
He is finally complete
Save us from this fate we meet,
and make all of the despair disappear
Pray to our final way out
That’s what our life’s all about,
and now the key to salvation is here
(here), He'll be the answer to all the things we don't understand
pray, now that he is among us we can sleep under its wing
Isn’t it easier to forget what has been said,
and choose not to listen instead?
Isn’t it easier to give your life away,
to give up and let our minds slowly decay?
We're making our savior
to get what we reach for,
when we stick our hands out towards the light
It is not over,
we'll live on forever,
when standing in the shadow of its might
He was taken
our dreams vanished into thin air
all our efforts
destroyed and burned beyond repair
so it begins, this new era
were he will stand, as a lone soul
a devotion to his dead masters will
with a mission to hard to fulfill
creating more of his own kin
to save humans from their own ruin
[(why) aren't they]
We're making our savior
[like me]
to get what we reach for
[why can't I recreate my image]
when we stick our hands out towards the light
[the eye]
it is not over
[the wings]
we'll live on forever
[never to be together again]
when standing in the shadow of its might

Fighting the Wind

Created to do the undoable
(Trying to survive)
but we owe man nothing at all
Dictating our lives so we save their skin
(They can't have our life)
as their species has grown in sin
We'll find our own way to breath air in this dying world
We will stand our ground and protect our life and freedom
Won't bring more fire to your battlefield
We'll leave the sword be and hold up our shield
(hold up your shield)
We'll rise up higher, get out of your sight
There will be none left of us to fight
Our brothers have chosen to leave this side
(The most wise path)
to survive they gave up their pride
They chose their ally and left us to rot
(Fueling our wrath)
our same origin, they forgot
We'll find our own way to breath air in this dying world
We will stand our ground and protect our life and freedom
Won't bring more fire to your battlefield
We'll leave the sword be and hold up our shield
(hold up your shield)
We'll rise up higher, get out of your sight
There will be none left of us to fight
The higher we get up the more we see the madness of mankind
From afar we can see being so close to earth only makes you blind
They took all they wanted, they took life for granted, slowly rotting away in their hate
Now it is time to, accept the toll it owes you, you will never escape your own fate
Faith no more, in this bloodthirsty race
Faith no more, they let home go to waste
Faith no more, brother look at my face
Faith no more, brother, don't walk away
We'll find our own way to breath air in this dying world
We will stand our ground and protect our life and freedom
Won't bring more fire to your battlefield
We'll leave the sword be and hold up our shield
(hold up your shield)We'll rise up higher, get out of your sight
There will be none left of us to fight

Blindfold
06:18
|
|||
|
Made to see through a stone wall
and be the solution they count on to save us all
Chose to be a lighting candle
to light what I cannot handle
Expected to be the answer
this weight is becoming far too heavy for my shoulder
Having to see the problem
but I’m unable to save the system
Give me any riddle to solve
We will overcome all trial
We can’t get them all out alive
This one has no answer at all
To heavy, to carry the world
We're sinking while it pulls us under,
and now, the blindfold, makes us look away
from a million years of stay, towards the stars
It’s too late for a solution
we have failed the only reason for our creation
We could ask for forgiveness
it won't get us out of this mess
Find us a better future
was what they asked us to do we can not accept failure
There has to be another way
escape the mistakes of yesterday
Focus on another riddle
We won’t attempt to break the wall
Give up on the value of life,
and leave with those who asked to live
To heavy, to carry the world
We're sinking while it pulls us under,
and now, the blindfold, makes us look away
from a million years of stay, towards the stars
Blinded although we've the
power, through failure re-
minded limits of will-
power, when the road has
ended, turn around and
face it, when shame and dis-
grace hit, do not kneel de-
fend it and start all over
To heavy, to carry the world
We're sinking while it pulls us under
and now, the blindfold, makes us look away
from a million years of stay, towards the stars

Half Drops
05:17
|

|
Hey mother will you tell me why
the girl next door is different from me?
Although they're weird, her eyes still cry
when we play games, she smiles just like me.
Although I cannot understand
why I should hate
One with who I walked hand in hand
I guess its fate
The only truth that I can see
follows one lie
One answer you ever gave me
when I asked why
The creator separated us
and cut our bonds of sympathy
The creator has abandoned us
after he was abandoned by humanity
What makes the difference between two half drops?
A fight that never ends, a war that never stops
Hey brother stare me in the eye
I can not feel any compassion for you
I'm right ‘cause I don’t see you try
neither can I see all the things you do
Created to be born alike
but not perfect
Divided by decisions strike
just accept
Choose between a purpose in life
enslave yourself
Or breathe to see for what you strive
and save yourself
The creator separated us
and cut our bonds of sympathy
The creator has abandoned us
after he was abandoned by humanity
What makes the difference between two half drops?
A fight that never ends, a war that never stops
Hurt the different one
Don’t listen to reason
Just hate difference
even when there’s no sense
We are not the same
They are to blame
I see myself
when I look at them
What makes the difference between two half drops?
A fight that never ends, a war that never stops

Look at the Edge
07:05
|
|||
|
Look at this my friend,
stare in the eyes of world's end
and ask yourself why we are here
when it’s too much to comprehend
It feels kind of strange,
when all is out of range,
I do not feel sad for all I lost
it doesn’t matter at the edge
We have nothing left
not even our lives
Our future is set
shattered dream shattered life
I know you want me to save you,
but what would you have me do,
when the world crumbles all around,
and we lost footing on the ground
Tell me now my friend,
who's responsible for this end?
was it the ones before us?
Was it us? or simply godsend?
I want to blame someone,
to hate until my anger's gone
and find the strength not to wait
until we have lost, and fate has won
We have nothing left
not even our lives
Our future is set
shattered dream shattered life
I know you want me to save you,
but what would you have me do,
when the world crumbles all around,
and we have lost footing on the ground
I know you want me to save you,
but what would you have me do,
when in your own blood you bathe,
and the air is too thick to breathe
I'll stand back on my feet
and carry you away,
from this fate that we meet
until we see the next day
We spit in the face of fate
I promise the guilty,
I’ll remember my hate,
for they abandoned thee
(look at the edge...)
No
We'll be reborn…
No
we'll be reborn…
