Expulsion
Man Against
1. Ever After
Grinding hard, teeth and nails, cartilage and bone
Tools of lies, hardware of harm, in deafening alarm
The myth machine sent to war, no contents, no core
I'll admit that I'm a monster
when you realise you're insane
Things have to be this way
all the future and ever after
The guiding light that leads you can make you blind
A good day is the very day when it burns you
We might be of the same blood, but no aquaintance - no love
I'll admit that I'm a monster
when you realise you're insane
Things have to be this way
all the future and ever after
2. Man Against
Tie me up and kick me down
Still it's somebody's fault but mine
So, it isn't about right or wrong
but it sure is about time
I'll keep my
tunnel vision
I'll keep my
tunnel vision
I've seen it a million times
I witness criterias die
While I know no world outsied
still kingdoms die and worlds collide
with man against
I've seen it all too much
And I am blinded by the thoughts
of spending an eternity inside
this hideous state of ours
I'll keep my
tunnel vision
I'll keep my
tunnel vision
I've seen it a million times
I witness criterias die
While I know no world outsied
still kingdoms die and worlds collide
with man against
I'm a man against
3. Whit My Head Down
You can feel my presence in the dark
Hear my breath and smell the smoke
The glow of a cigarette lights my face
For a second you can see my tears
Can you feel my fear
Do you wish to pull the trigger
Are laughing inside
When you see me with my head down?
I am twisting my fingers nervously
but you know I have made my choice
The gun in my hand, it's cold
My whole life is now passing by
Do you wish to pull the trigger
When you see me with my head down
You can feel my presence in the night
Now my deed is done and so be it
The gun was the fool to set me free
And nothing can now bring me back
Are you laughing inside
When you see me with my head down
4. Into Another Inside
Slow motion time lapse
A calm race for a spot to roost
Turning around and taking over
a world of a falling angel
I feel the adrenalin
and it's unexpectedly kicking in
How life presents itself
Indeed this is an exercise
I've adapted and I've watched
the development from those subtle sighs
sprung from supposedly innocent genes
goin into another inside
I feel the adrenalin,
I am standing on the outside looking in
I feel the adrenalin and it's
unexpectedly kicking in
How life presents itself
Indeed this is an exercise
5. These Are Not the Times for the Innocent
Sharpened senses, yet hardened emotions
Running emptied on full tlt with accelerated pulse, yet comfortably blocked
Extraordinary machinery, merciless hangman
Never thins twice of what you've done, but these are not the times for the innocent
Digging in without emotion - Without a notion - A start-stop motion
Push further the structures of psychology
Push aside the nature of nature
No limits of thresholds of possibility
No dangers if you just bend, not break
An intolerable reaction, or a tool of the trade?
Symptoms of overturning nature or scenes from the wrong side of sanity?
Considered development, continued evolution
Fear and nausea erased from our minds as these are not the times for the innocent
Digging in without emotion - Without a notion - A start-stop motion
6. Burning Down the Empire
Before I'm leaving...
My brief reflections of the black earth
High seas in read
Pounding on coasts in wrecks
No seasons passed
For ages the winter lasted
There was no spring
but a fall
Exploding sun and fading stars - The tyranny was driven too far
Fell down behind me
Inside rumblings out of limits
Howling cold winds
in a hollow cold world
Is it suicide
wishing to be in a vulture's claws?
We can't hide
but we can fall
And the wolves came
with claws of fire
and burned down
the empire
There's nothing left
in this scene of tyranny
Is it the world?
Or could it be me?
As I'm striving
everything keeps falling behind me
And if I can't rise
all must fall
And the wolves came
with claws of fire
and burned down
the empire
7. Endeavour
Open your eyes, look to the skies
Path of your endeavour
Golden icon for them to see
Pictured forever and ever
Walk the spiral, what's to gain
Don't touch the spider, it might just rain
Do birds care for man
guide them to their graves
Change the ways of liberty
greet life of you can
Walk the spiral, what's to gain
Don't touch the spider, it might just rain
8. 1:26
9. Between
I always see in red
Won't explain why
Crawled exhausted on the ground
Buried under all the lies
Stepped slowly through the door
I ask for what I need
Raised my voice againt the answer
Anonymous in reality
Sat down, thought twice
Between is where I am
Don't ask where or when
Just start over again
You feel - You'll kneel
Spurred on by angels
You know what to do
The knife in the kitchen
Push your feelings through
Silent I unveil the secrets
of what we now behold
Appearing through our bonds of cruelty
this world does now untold
Like an envelope to be split open
Where do you draw the line?
A recycling form of illusion
turned inside and narrow minded
Sat down, thought twice
Between is where I am
Don't ask where or when
Just start over again
You feel - You'll kneel
Spurred on by angels
You know what to do
The knife in the kitchen
Push your feelings through
10. The Grief in Me
I'm so sorry
that it was you
Well, I'm so sorry
that it came true
I'm so sorry
I'm the one to blame
Yeah, I'm so sorry
It's a damn shame
I never wanted to do you harm
How can you ever forgive me?
All the lies are building up inside
When we are tearing each other apart
I just can't love you enough
This is breeding the grief in me
I'm so sorry
that it was you
Well, I'm so sorry
that it came true
I'm so sorry
I'm the one to blame
Yeah, I'm so sorry
It's a damn shame
I never wanted to do you harm
How can you ever forgive me?
All the lies are building up inside
When we are tearing each other apart
I just can't love you enough
This is breeding the grief in me
11. Minus
Living with thought merely virtual
I can't remember beyond believing in me
I hope I will outlive the pushings
and strain the cargo while the ship is floating
Seeing and living double vision
meaning I'll have to live with myself twice
Counteraction against all meaning
This is antidote to sanity
Believe in everything that you bleed
Blood pours from open wounds never seen
I don't think I'll ever be a model to humanity
My foothold is too weak to see
The revelling inside of me
Safe to say that I'm on minus
Sure as hell I am on minus
Is it too easy to be ahead?
Losing streak, severly reduced
Emptied pockets, dried well of fortune
As far as my eyes can see
the state of the world is unclear
Knowing little about the turns
I can't see neither past or future
Knowing to little about the twists
I can't even seen the presents
Believe in everything that you bleed
Blood pours from open wounds never seen
I don't think I'll ever be a model to humanity
My foothold is too weak to see
The revelling inside of me
Safe to say that I'm on minus
Sure as hell I am on minus
Is it too easy to be ahead?
