An Elegy 04:13
life is quite a short thing how can someone succeed? achieving everything leads into atrocity the last words on this world the silence takes it's rightful place right now and every pays a baneful price so what's the value of life? And when is the time right to die? You didn't regret a thing Tisiphone gets you eternity (is) still away with it's everlasting claim you are cursed by words your realm will loose it's sheen for sure art will outlast every life and therefore you will be condemned just erased silence takes it's place and every pays a baneful price so what's the value of life? And when is the time right to die? curse you with my word your realm will loose it's sheen for sure art will outlast every life and therefore you will be

Supernova 03:54
countless gleams in the dark illumination from afar and yet they cease to be without a cause that we know every gleam does have a sheen but only a few shine piercing eyes, burning the skin a tremendous luster before they collapse the supernova concept when they just clear out the supernova consumes them again come on lit the final spark then devour your own light and you light up the sky once more sweet self-destruction every gleam has a sheen but only a few shine before they collapse the supernova concept when they just clear out the supernova consumes them again a cosmos of the blight a shining in the black a twilight in the dust creation ex nihilo before they collapse the supernovaconcept when they just clear out the supernova consumes them again

Cenotaph 04:57
A flash of light Costs billions of lives What was build up through Hundred centuries Just disappeared in A blink of one eye Globally scorched earth Is all that is left Red is the sky So grey is the land on the hills far away Your cenotaph Oh it is not The fault of one man Proportions of power They have to be changed Catastrophy The breakdown of thoughts Communication Was lost from the start Red is the sky So grey is the land on the hills far away Your cenotaph Fear all around Of global warming suicidal fear Of nuclear wars Fear we produced By living in greed Everyone forges His own destiny Red is the sky the cities are grey On the hills far away Your cenotaph All the children of man They are cursed all their lifes Due to those among us Who just work for themselves

Lunar Rush 04:42
As we stray here lost in the void we struggle to survive still the light shines on we stay together we stray forever in eternity without superiority we stay together we stray forever in eternity with equality and so we found forever unbound tomorrow far from sorrow the pale place that we pace as one might in one night hail the crescent sight fail to the solar fright hail the crescent sight

Fallout 03:35
divide the core of all being destroying soul and soil morning brings a new era affected by the threat ignite the flame that stains forever illness found its way injustice paid by no one integrity is gone eridication of some life is worth some more life? mistake revision not in sight just three days have passed 34° 23' 41'' N 132° 27' 17'' O 80000 instantly killed 90000 followed their way 20000 instantly killed 40000 followed their way 32° 46' 26'' N 129° 51' 48'' O

The Holdout 04:56
The war is over all weapons remain still but not his gun he still fights decisively as the very last of a defeated army the war goes on inside his twisted mind he has always been loyal he has never been disguised he holds out in the mountains he survives in the wilderness as the very last of the army he serves the emperors will a soldier of a fallen empire his purpose is to kill the war is over but a weapon keeps firing years have past he still fights decisively as the very last of a defeated army the war goes on inside his twisted mind he has always been loyal he has never been disguised he holds out in the mountains he survives in the wilderness as the very last of the army he serves the emperors will a soldier of a fallen empire his purpose is to kill struggle fight brawl struggle fight brawl struggle fight brawl struggle fight brawl A thousand suns set but never his with determination he sustains no sense in his actions but he won't give up A violent life in solitude propaganda's fruit he has always been loyal he has never been disguised he holds out in the mountains he survives in the wilderness as the very last of the army he serves the emperors will a soldier of a fallen empire his purpose is to kill

Black Hole 03:10
The divine mother wants to play with your beliefs You're only her machine You are the puppet and she's pulling on your strings You're life's only a play Oh, she plays in different ways Her pleasure's continuing the game The mind's disentangling itself She makes it turn towards itself Black Hole Not a leaf moves except by the will of God Where is man's free will? Death's inevitable and nothing will remain Creators must destroy Oh, he plays in different ways His pleasure's continuing the game The mind's disentangling itself He makes it turn towards itself They break your mind with anguish's power But you'll feel totally secure The ocean's water reflects blue watched from afar, But when you're close it's bleak The sky appears blue at a distance, but look close and you will find it's black Oh, they play in different ways They're pleasure's continuing the game The mind's disentangling itself They make it turn towards itself Black Hole

Bad Wolf 05:58
Fifteen Ages wore that dress Oh, New new new new York Nightly strikes mashed up this mess The same strange bastard Same strange bastard is at work Lead me out, beneath the light Your open hand, your crazy mind Your endless war Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel 15 ages wrecked that dress New new new new York Oh, Bad Wolf came to clean this mess the same weird misborn the same weird misborn is at work Lead me out, beneath the light Your open hand, your crazy mind Your endless war Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel Ohhh, Bad Wolf came to clean this mess the same weird misborn the same weird misborn is at work So I bless you Bad Wolf I was left far behind Fifteen times a spinning wheel Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel Kiss me Bad Wolf, will you show me the way Fifteen times a spinning wheel

Melted Face 07:49
Hear the screaming terror Metal grinding steel Result of human error Propaganda's death machine Senseless lust for power Evaporized mankind Selfrighteous men of honor Are not the ones that cannot die Atom bomb explosions May end the wars in flames But the price is madness Brutal ending of all lifes Tell me, men of power Is this what we got life for? You can die a thousand deaths But your reasons will survive Pain, suffering and death wonder weapon Melts a million people's faces Hate, bitterness and fear Deadly fungus apokalypse in a bombshell Trail of white glowing death Trident menace Leading to dystopian fallout white, radiatiating sun deadly beauty look into our death's devilish grin Burning is the oath of war You crave for blackened earth Wipe your enemies out a thousand times are not enough throwing all you know into obscurity Fight your fear with fire But it will only end with you Pain, suffering and death wonder weapon Melts a million people's faces Hate, bitterness and fear Deadly fungus apokalypse in a bombshell Trail of white glowing death Trident menace Leading to dystopian fallout white, radiatiating sun deadly beauty look into our death's devilish grin In your madness and delusion all the money that you earn fuels the fire caused by hatred fatal panic's our end And when all power's unleashed Mankind on it's knees Conditioned to perish safely inside their homes Radiation's killing This fire doesn't burn All you say is „sorry“, As if you didn't know before Pain, suffering and death wonder weapon Melts a million people's faces Hate, bitterness and fear Deadly fungus apokalypse in a bombshell Trail of white glowing death Trident menace Leading to dystopian fallout white, radiatiating sun deadly beauty look into our death's devilish grin
