1. The Breaking
[Vinyl bonus track]
I see their face in the mirror suit, a hazy image in a sea of noise
Formations fixed and dimming, shapes slowly shifting
Into a metal model display
Insight is failing, she's lost control
As a new dawn fades, she breaks apart
Minutes like decades, this day seems without an end
Even trees in winter never looked so sad
A sparkling in the window pane, a hidden glimmer of the timid pain
Reflections blurred by fumes
Non-stop passers-by come and go from yesterday
They're all awake with unsounded words
Reposed in faux of life's splendour
Some bright translation errors reset the time and scene
I'm versed enough to know they always sleep
2. Deadland (Tommy Olsson Remake)
Let the wind take care of gravity
There's one big secret hidden, come with me
Why should I want to leave,
Unless you wanted me to go away
Speak with a tongue that claims its kingdom,
come what may...
The stars came tumbling down
Worn-out heroes
Stepping into fields of firing grey
My restless soul will dance in harmony
In open air a subdued symphony
I've set myself an aim to keep the territory that I claim
I'll never let my kingdom fall
There's nothing keeping us in here
Abounded fear
Let me be free...
Speak with a tongue that claims its kingdom,
Come what may...
The stars came tumbling down
Worn-out heroes
Stepping into fields of firing grey
Speech of the deadland
Let them hear the song is still alive
Give me something I could sleep on
Give me something like a dream...
3. Empty
[Limited edition bonus track]
[Chorus 1:]
They might say this never happened
I'd say it just did
Never have I felt it stronger
Someone's wrong and I am right
In a world of disillusion
Loitering away your time
There's no harm in reconstruction
Paint the world in black and white
[Chorus 2:]
Beyond redemption won't exist
Redeploy your mind
Find your strength and recuperate
Reflections in an open mind
Nestling fly with me
Find a way to see...
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
4. Frozen (Ambrosius Remake)
Cold and risen from the grave
Hidden years will tell no tales
Now you seek what only heart can see
Frozen in so many ways
Drifting through the light inside
A lucent image in the dark
Fickle and dismayed
Someone cast a shadow
Blurring all the pictures on the pages
Hide the pieces, I become the sun
Shining through, what became of you
Early morning, no time to lose
Chills my heart, and I come undone
Quiet timeless silhouette
Forgotten fragments of my dreams
Pleasure and disgust
Shining golden figure in the background
Hide the pieces, I become the sun
Shining through, what became of you
Early morning, no time to lose
Chills my heart, and I come undone
5. Beauty Of Deconstruction
Echoes that somehow
Can surround us
Can resound through stillness
Like thoughts of shifting this balance
Ideas of ideals convolve like intricate phases
Your revelations displayed at two thousand expositions
The mind is going out now
Slowly passing by windows
And someone's silver shatter-shape
Re-form perfect symmetry
And give us dis-concord
Find a place to be now
To a-view the beauty of deconstruction
In a surplus of noise that no one hears
Where silence surrounds us
Idyllic translation
From quiet to noise
In every city street made of steel and concrete
Passing adjoining buildings that fall apart
Forever sincere
Remind me of these times
All features shattered
Slightly off-key
Scattered and forgotten
The patterns vividly deformed
Shine a light on placid visions to revere
Found a place where structures come down
6. Revolution (Flip Wicked Remix)
The wheel hits ground with a bare touch
You just keep an ear to the ground
Fly in the wind ? like revolution
Time stands still, what will your mother say?
Nothing said in your defence
Life's a sacred remedy
Head or tail, it's up to you
Meet your fate at an arms length
See the writings on the wall
Scare away their exhortations
Time stands still ? I'm flying
Sail close to the wind, take your risk
No return, life's a game of gamble
This time, I'm not playing to win
Mind the trap, you will soon fall over
Heal me; wouldn't you heal my wounded heart?
Let the change begin
This day, I promise I will stay
I will stay and walk the way
7. Empty (E&a Wedding Mix)
They might say this never happened
I'd say it just did
Never have I felt it stronger
Someone's wrong and I am right
In a world of disillusion
Loitering away your time
There's no harm in reconstruction
Paint the world in black and white
Beyond redemption won't exist
Redeploy your mind
Find your strength and recuperate
Reflections in an open mind
Nestling fly with me
Find a way to see...
They might say this never happened
I'd say it just did
Never have I felt it stronger
Someone's wrong and I am right
8. Highlights
[Bonus track]
Always the young one
Walks along the newly interred course
Mindful of what he is and has become
Somehow, we all admire
Somewhy, that's what all require
Always a heartbeat
Followers can deal with pure deceit
No reversal of our course
We have put up with a lot
Never again will we say sorry
All this damage, all our fault
Words don't commit, they withdraw
Shining a light on traces we left yesterday
Lost in the sparkle of a million stars in the sky
No remorse, we always leave with no sign
Nonessential lines intersecting time
Don't expect it all to be highlights
Remember when promises were revoked
Somewhere, approved without him
Someday this ends
Displays of a shape blurred and out of phase
Clichés seem like figures on a window pane
9. Illusions (Zensor Remix)
Decode the half forgotten memories
Reverberating distantly
Some have moments that they can't subdue
Some take part in the electric blue
Look away...
He watched the lines and the curvature
And traced her silhouette
She stayed the moment with a glimpse and a frown
She took the fates by surprise
She was the model for the end of days
Some have moments that they can't subdue
Some take part in the electric blue
Look away...
These are the days now
This season will change us
Be someone, trust no-one
Vicious circle, never ending
These are the days now
This season will change us
This breakdown, disruption
Ease the pain now, please start ending
Disarrayed and renewed
And everything's electric blue
Polarised and dismayed
When everything else is just untrue
Everything's electric blue
Everything's untrue
10. Forever Is The World (Chamber Version)
Into a different kind of view
Not meant for human eyes
Everything's dark and fades away
This moment just opened my eyes, now I say:
I never knew anything felt like this
It has just begun
Please be aware of the change in your mind
Everyone's telling lies
Somewhere between every now and then
Harmoniously facing the truth of your past
I know by now, every night has its dawn
Be aware and see
I know by now, every night has its dawn
Be aware and see
And as your last day draws to an end
Take my last good smile
All I can do now is watch as you fall,
Bid my last good bye
There's an exception to every rule
Don't trust the yellow light
Constantly searching to find your way home
The beauty's been lying right here all along
Only Man ends. But forever's the world
Just don't fall asleep
So here we sway at the edge of the world
Holding hands
Clutching at straws, keep each other awake
World will not end at this shift
I never knew anything felt like this
It has just begun...
