Ice Ages
			Strike the Ground


1. A Dream As Real As Darkness (Part I)



2. A Dream As Real As Darkness (Part II)

Look at me my fearful friend
I worthy I seem to you
Well then look closer into my eyes
I am sicker than you think

I mock you while you cry
I am the dark side beneath your head
The spider in your head

I am the rodent in your guts
The knife in yourself that cuts

I stand before you
A mirage of your fear
A dream so real - like darkness

3. Strike The Ground

Enshrouded in the bed of steel
I'm backled to the chair
Here I travel lonely through the air I fly
The might flies by so fast

Suddenly a cry beneath me
I find my aircraft gone
I'm falling to the ground
As I plunge towards my destiny
The planet disappears.

Here I am and ready to die
But I don't stop my falling
Trapped in silent nightmares

As part of time as slave to death
My life will never end
Release me from this sickness
Please talk to may abandoned soul
I wish my tiny heart
to finally strike the ground.

4. Time Of Dawn



5. Endless Circle

Like and endless seeming circle
Around I go
Deja vu enchants me
I know there is something wrong

I push to break this secret
But I feel it won't go well
I am trapped within a moment
The world enslaves my mind

[by Ray Wells]


6. Shrink To Nothing

Like a spider in the darkness
Emptiness is feeding my pain
I'm not really human
Not quite of flesh and bone

There is chaos in my being
A lonely soul so dark
Slowly I am fading
And none wants to care

I hear the secret calling
Everyone else is so deaf
The world moves on
Depressions, I am by myself

Light shines bright above me
I reach but fail to grasp it
Lonely I am fading
No one to hold my hand

7. Almost Invisible



8. Trapped And Scared

Sadness lives by my side
Laughter distorts my face
I am the crystal master
That lives inside my head

A maze of endless torments
The doors to nowhere lead
Forever lost, trapped and scared

Tears now drawn my eyes
Here in this lonely part of the world
Where nothing left to lose
And I am floating endlessly.

Forever to be found
Surely I am certain
Dead I'll be and without life
Never to tell this story.

9. Dead But Wide Awake

Alone I am here and cannot die
My eyes can talk - I communicate
S.O.S please save my soul
Pull the plug, I beg from you

Pity I cannot need
I am dead but wide awake
This nightmare you must end
My weekend body is to tired to fight

[by Ray Wells]


10. Darkened World



11. Transparent Dreams

Sea of chaos, electric mist
A dark sky calling, a cloud of dust
Boiling magma, darkified
A veil of liquid, transparent dreams

I stand a lone among this chaos
A grain of eternal sand
I scream for others but find myself alone
There is no comfort on this planet.

I dream I drift alone
From the sky like lightning bolts.
A hand of ice my only hope.
Sinking quickly, I am alone
I cannot breath - my sight grows dim

[by Ray Wells]


12. Eternal Sleep
