Back To Where You've Never Been
1. Introversion
All our promises have been erased by the weight of time,
And all the dreams we shared have been replaced by a numbing need to fit in!
This machine has destroyed my aspirations and it's eating me alive day after day...
Scarred by a society crawling under rules and regulations,
Respect the chain of command or get out of here!
There's no space left for the animal inside (of us) and our suffering is constant,
I wanna shake up their codes, but I mean nothing to them!
I don't belong here,
I'm not part of your fucking world!
You don't know who I am,
So don't patronize me!
I'm a passenger in their world,
And I've become a stranger to my own life...
2. Strive Ever To More
I'm stuck in here and cannot look around,
I'm doing time for your sake!
Trapper inside a cell I cannot move around,
Feeling so hollow...
You can lock me down,
But I'll live to tell the tale.
You can't control my fury,
For Nature will always take over!
The flame burns bright,
reach out for the strenght inside...
Find this impulse that makes you strive ever to more!
Trying to control me is fucking useless,
Cause I've got nothing to lose now!
Too many tears have been shed to go back now,
I'm not alone...
You cannot rule my realm!
Your world is on fire,
Consumed by deception we will never learn to (truly) make peace.
Man was born for treason.
Let rage take over my sanity!
Stop feeling out of place,
You can't draw a line between you and your family.
You are what you say you are,
And that's why you can't stop falling into negativity!
My sweet shelter of darkness...
The flame burns bright,
reach out for the strenght within...
Find this impulse that makes you strive ever to more!

4. Overcome
I never believed in fate,
We make our destiny!
Always rising above fears and frustrations...
You've been tamed for too long:
Confront your demons!
We are the shadows of our needs,
A series of wasted dreams,
We deny our longing for self-destruction,
And try to conceal it for it scares us!
I can see the light,
When the oppression is gone...
This is the final call,
I'm on the edge!
Overcome!
Stare into the eye and you'll overcome fear,
I'm my own monster,
Forget everything you know and drown into nothingness...
Let the void absorb anger and rage!
Look deep into your soul and face the enemy...
I can see the light,
And the oppression is gone...
This is the final call,
I'm on the edge!
I'm on the edge of breaking down,
I'm on the edge and falling down,
I can't come back and I know it!
5. Edification Of The Fall
"I can clearly see now that there is no universal code of ethics,
The world that we created is falling apart and I can see through the lies."
Rising over the years of sorrow,
Nothing's like it used to be.
Corrupted by their crooked smiles,
Dragged down by force...
Give up all I want from you,
Edification of the fall!
One's failure too often makes the other's pride,
In a binary system of winners and losers...
There is no success,
There are no greater men,
They wanna watch you fail!
They need to watch you fail to exist!
"You can't buy Happiness,
No matter how hard they try to sell it to you..."
Free from the path that chose so long ago,
No longer serving...
Breaking the seal of destiny!
Corrupted by their crooked smiles,
Dragged down by force...
Give up all I want from you,
Edification of the fall!
6. To Numb The Pain
[Instrumental]
7. Ghosts Of The Modern World
How could god/man make life so empty?
This world is controlled by money and power.
Our hunger is limitless and defies reality,
We're heading for the wall but the machine goes too fast to change course!
Look at me!
I'm a broken man...
Self-respect has been traded for regrets: the only feelings that last!
And the only thing I feel today is a bitter sense of sadness...
We are the ghosts of the modern world,
The denial of human nature!
Feeling isolated more and more,
Today is like yesterday because my days are the same!
I'm chained like a dog...
I was raised in an illusion and now I'm trapped inside myself...
The mold that I was forced into was never meant for me.
We're not free and never will be...
Nothing can satisfy me,
Nothing can quench my thrist...
8. Requiem For A Lullaby
"I relive the same dream over and over again,
Watching with satisfaction a fulfilled and better version of me...
Can I hold onto something real or must I live in eternal sleep?
Sometimes I wish I did not wake up from this dream!"
Haunted by defeat I revive the old wounds again,
Alone and facing the day I turned my back on passion (for good)...
...And I know that it's too late,
That time will consume us all.
I've missed my entire life,
And I'm slowly turning into dust...
My life is damned and my hopes are gone,
I'll never find the peace of mind that I need...
Torn with anguish, my mind is confused.
Our creations seem superficial
Compared to the hardships we have to overcome.
There is no turning back,
Salvation is at hand...
Hear my words or fall.
Hear my words or keep on dreaming.
Stand for yourself and fight for real,
Lead your path to a brighter day!
Nothing can go wrong as long as you keep on trying.
Building up your confidence day by day and (always) giving it your best shot!
The world is yours!
Redefine your vision.
Redefine your vision and dare to take a chance!
Become who you are meant to be!
Become who you are meant to be before you turn into dust...
