Delivered Into Arrival

Don't Ever get caught watching the clock
The miles won't change, just walk the walk
Better days and lives are yet to come
The future shines like hundred suns

Now break it down
This earthly journey is shrouded by a cloud of uncertainty
And we walk on this barren world for reasons unknown
The mind is higher than the senses
Measuring time is a useless impediment
This life on Earth is an illusion
This life on Earth is an illusion
Holding bearings for the future
Dissolving with the past, it's not worth the wait
we`re trapped in the waking state
Under the masks they force us to wear
Under the laws that protect us from ourselves
It feels like we are hiding in our heads
(Suppressing everything)
When we can't belong, it feels like we`re already gone
It cannot be grasped by reaching
It cannot be seen by looking
(It flows within you)
All events and incidents, all that occurs to me
All pointing the same way
Disarm me of impediments
prepare me for the attunement
Our existence left behind the gate
Enchained by the human fate
Under the masks they force us to wear
Under the laws that protect us from ourselves
It feels like we are hiding in our heads
(Suppressing everything)
When we can't belong, it feels like we`re already gone
This rapid pace of change is poised to rip
(us apart, there's nothing left but empty minds)
Empires will fall until there's nothing left
(See them roaming around to the end of time)
Under the masks they force us to wear
Under the laws that protect us from ourselves
(Trapping our minds in cage)
It feels like we are hiding our heads now from the world
Seems like it's all that we know
Under the masks they force us to wear
Under the laws that protect us from ourselves
It feels like we are hiding in our heads
(Suppressing everything)
When we can't belong, it feels like we're already gone

Left of You
02:22
|
|||
It's not too late to walk away from the ledge
and face another day without a tragedy
What you are driving towards will lead to your demise
You are loosing yourself by holding on to a vice
I'm watching you die but my hands are fully tied
but how could I make you see trough my eyes
If I could make you see trought my eyes,
There's something in us I have always despised
If only I could see all your lies
There's something inside us that's prone to demise
Hurting the ones you should not hurt at all
By turning into what you said you'd never become
If I could make you see trought my bleeding eyes, you could see all your lies ruining everything
With back against the wall, blindfolded and scoffed
We're forced to forget what we seem to have lost
Now do you feel your days are done?
How would you be remembered?
By what you set out to be or defeated by this disease
But if you choose the right means to carry out and pursue
a plan to create and build new beginning
You could still save what's left of you

By a little twist of fate
You'll get soaked in this lake
It welcomes you with warmeness
Gentle feeling of softness
Like a sun going down, escaping from you
You feel tired and worthless
Where there was a light, now is darkness
It`s consuming you to the bone
The small crucial fragement of fate
Uniting two as one since the day
It comes so strong, so strong feel it is going to be everlasting
And you embrace it in your arms
Hold it dear
Never let it go, even the sun goes down
You open your eyes wide with fear
You are going to be alone again
Just empty shell
Empty, disposed
Crucial fragment of love
Lifting you high, so high above
Giving you a place to be at, something to hold on to
Until it all comes crashing down
Forcing you down on your knees
Down on your knees
Until you start to drown
By a little twist of fate you'll get soaked in this lake
It welcomes you with warmness
Gentle feeling of softness
You`re going to be alone again, empty, disposed, holding on
You fight for it, not wanting to lose
The harder you fight, the more you lose

Paranormal
02:49
|
|||
Get up
This is it, you're the one who's to blame
The train you have derailed is headed the wrong way
And there is no way in hell to make it right
When no price is too high for a peace of mind
So it goes, we have all seen it before
Saving what's left but you'll never be whole
Another sad story of a long lost soul
This was the fate you brought upon yourself
Victims of your ill-advised escapades will arise to claim their rights
(forever haunt the mind)
Wailing in the night, an odor in the air
Aching in the bones, a growing wake of dispair
Meditate on world peace everynight,
in due time, the truth is realized
Worlds that are beyond us, surround us, they bind us
The Voices insider can't be denied
So it goes, we have all seen it before
Saving what's left but you'll never be whole
Another sad story of a long lost soul
This was the fate you brought upon yourself

King Vultures

Break it down now
You`re the one in every hundred I can't allow
The cause and effect speaks just too loud
Their spiteful presence creates a stormcloud
By their parasitic, predatory lifestyle
Displaying emotions only to manipulate
To satiate the compelling need to dominate
A shallow sentiment in distorded mind
Inimically assigned to carry out design
Disregard for a a human life,
They make peace in destructive frame of mind
We're left waiting at the end of the line
We're marcing towards the end of mankind
(x2)
Hiding behind the academic gown
While the white-collar criminals are calling the shots
While corporating the profit and the power
Drain the money out and drop them from the top
Feeding off the weak and selling out our lives
Reap the unsown and live high for a while
Indulging in synthetic opulance, drain the money out
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me
All the troubled thoughts are washed away from me
Short-term gains and long-term pain
You can try but it's never gonna change me
I've got heart and i will stay strong for every true word is a promise worth keeping
The earth will not forgive
We deny whats essential to behold
We're lied to, I can see right through
The veils that's been raised whyle the world is sleeping
They are all around you no matter where you go
In avoidance of feelings there's no care for the world
Granstanding, untrustworthy, devoid of shame and guilt
It is by those same methods that the modern wold is build
It's in this sinking feeling where all troubled thoughts are washed away and now
The ocean lives in me, the ocean lives in me
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me and the ocean lives in me
Devoid of shame and fucking guilt

The Great Art of Living
03:38
|
|||
From the cradle to the grave, to the end of days
We all should dance while it lasts
Don`t wait for an other chance
It`s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
The notes of life are running out of time, by leaving all behind, that`s something to keep in mind
Nothing is waterproof, our dreams, hopes and free will
Deaf, dumb and blind and sanity`s out of sight
But still it flows within
Nothing is fireproof, our flesh, papers and the truth
It`s true what they say, it`s incorporated in our DNA
Small things make what we see, as the essence of every human being
Break it down
It`s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
No matter what you`re taking part, in a wonderful piece of art
It dwells deep beneath, the basic instinct that keeps us alive
No need to believe in, no faith is required to survive
There is nothing left to say, only the music can take the breath away
Difference between you and me, it is the greatest art of living
In perfect harmony, from minor to major key
By using the whole range of scale, the notes of life will be then rearranged
Nothing is fireproof, our flesh, papers and the truth
Even the stars are already set to burn
Nothing is waterproof, our dreams, hopes and free will
They drown as the tide turns and closes in

Like a flickering light
Guiding through a dark room
Like a terminal mind
Set off forevermore hopeful
This vision dances in my head
And I toy with the notion
Of walking into the fire
To revel in my emotion
There's no telling what lies ahead
I've bid farewell to my shadow friends
For something else that's worth more in the end
There's a difference between the buried and the planted
Candles and all prayers for those left stranded
No matter the cost
Despite the worst odds
There is a distance I must go
This moment is all that I control
All that I control is here and now
Soul searching
Reaching deep within me
Solely relying on the wings of fate to carry me
With my head in my hands
My soul remains unawakened
Cut out the noise and set your mind in motion
There's a difference between the buried and the planted
Candles and all prayers for those left stranded
No matter the cost
Despite the worst odds
There is a distance I must go
This moment is all that I control
All that I control is here and now
Clearing the day
Rearranging
Shaping everything
I found the way
For the self to resonate
With the clarity of an open sky
Navigating now by the stars aligned
With serenity, steely-eyed
Fueled by the burning lust for life
There's a difference between the buried and the planted
Candles and prayers for those left stranded
No matter the cost
Despite the worst odds
There is a distance I must go
This moment is all that I control
All that I control is here and now
There is no telling what lies ahead
Some things I just can't pretend
I've bid farewell to my shadow friends
For something else worth more in the end

Slave State
03:37
|
|||
You are for sale, you are the slave
The bottom line an early grave
Bludgeoned to control the voices untold
Paying back the debt, giving your mind a total reset
(Through slaves and apathy)
A new era for neo-humanity
The future is realized through slaves and apathy
Upgrading the children of anarchy
Embracing the evolution of machinery
Through the ashes of our fallen souls
Embracing rebirth and our new roles
We have to forsake the one who knows
Leave it behind, watch it burn as the future unfolds
Avatar, I am your fucking savior
Slave state, a present contagion
I am your savior
A death trap built to sustain our constant fears
Vicariously entertained through uncontrollable tears
Through the ashes of our fallen souls
Embracing rebirth and our new roles
We have to forsake the one who knows
Leave it behind, watch it burn as the future unfolds
No way to see, just live to believe that we are slaves to the system
Our minds wiped out of all wisdom
No way to see, constantly living to believe
Just wait and see the machine will be set free
The future's shrouded in a mystery, what will become of us
No way to see just live to believe, forsaking all the trust
Just live to believe
That we are slaves to the system, our minds wiped out of all wisdom, wait and see the machine will be set free
Through the ashes of our fallen souls
Embracing rebirth and our new roles
We have to forsake the one who knows
Leave it behind, watch it burn as the future unfolds

You Were There
03:26
|
|||
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
This one is just for you
You were there in my life since I opened my eyes
Helped me find the way, pains went all away
You knew then the things that many can't notice
You are the main part of anything
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
You say you are not perfect, I don't need you to be
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
What if all comes down to what matters? That you are there for me
You gave my life the meaning it needed
Without you I just cannot survive
You helped me when I was in trouble
Helped me with a dream, dream that I wanted to follow
I'm sure it's hard, I know it now
The courage it will take to pick me up when falling down
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
You say you are not perfect, I don't need you to be
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
What if all comes down to what matters? That you are there for me
You are there for me
You make me wanna try harder for all you've done for me and my brother
To me nobody can't be above
Guess all I wanna say is, "I love you"
How can I pay you back? Time passes way too fast
I wanna hold on to all the things that made you laugh
I promise I will fight, I fight through all my darkest nights
So I can show you how much I love this life
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
You say you are not perfect, I don't need you to be
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
What if all comes down to what matters? That you are there for me
What matters? That you are there for me
I love you

Beyond The Past
02:55
|
|||
I've seen how far we've gone and its breaking me
I've held on to this stone and it's taking me down
Untroubled childhood bliss, turns to pain and suffering
It's just a way of preparing you for the cold realities of everyday strife
it's just way of ingraining you with this grand subservient way of life.
Now there's a void in my heart, but i could not go beyond
and the way I used to be feels so far away
It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life
There's no escaping our fate
The course remains the same
It's just a way to bring you under their control and tell you that it's for your own good
It's just a way it was in a time of life when you were the one who willnever be understood
I won't sign my life away
I won't sign my life away
Now there's a void in my heart, but i could not go beyond
and the way I used to be feels so far away
It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life
There's no escaping our fate
The course remains the same
When there was nothing but time for our lives to begin
There was never need for us to pretend
When there was nothing beyond the confines or our skin
And all that followed will die in the end
There was nothing but time in our hands for our lives to begin
We always were ourselves, there was no need need for us to pretend
There was no need for reaching beyond the confines of our skin
What's left is memories and the rest will die in the end
Can you feel in your heart, it's calling you from inside and telling you not to be afraid
Can you feel when your heart is waking up the truth and telling: "There's still hope for a change"

Self-Resonance
02:36
|
|||
A journey on the path of my heart to what I truly am
And came here to be a crossing over into a new beginning
A trip into a path of though, turning into a feeling
Growing beyond all the false boundaries, never passing
Reaching for the things beyond our grasp
Believing in our heart that hard times won't last
I may have be down but will rise from my past
Reaching deep within to find the courage to see this trought

Crucial Fracture
03:52
|

Intro:
By a little twist of fate
You get soaked in to this lake
It welcomes you with warmeness
Gentle feeling of softness
1st verse
Like a sun going down, escaping from you
You feel tired and worthless
Where there was a light, now is darkness
It`s consuming you to the bone
The small crucial fragement of fate
Uniting two as one since the day
It comes so strong, so strong feel it is going to be everlasting
Chorus
And you embrace it in your arms
Hold it dear
Never let it go, even the sun goes down
You open your eyes wide with fear
After Chorus
You are going to be alone again
Just empty shell
Empty, disposed
2nd verse
Crucial fragment of love
Lifting you high, so high above
Giving you a place to be at, something to hold on to
Until it all comes crashing down
Forcing you down on your knees
Down on your knees
Until you start to drown
C-part
By a little twist of fate you get soaked in this lake
(It welcomes you with warmness, gentle feeling of softness)
You`re going to be alone again, empty, disposed, holding on
Outro
You fight for it, not wanting to lose
The harder you fight, the more you lose
