Illusion Of Control

I am digging graves
For my sanity
Look into my eyes and tell me I'm ashamed
Of my devastating actions, of my crimes
Try to convince me once again I've done wrong
That I could be a better man
Look into my eyes
Say I'm ashamed
Put me in my cell
We'll see how long I'll stay
Give me your judgement call, I will not bend
Give me your final verdict, I will not be stopped
I'm your parasite so in the end you'll do what I say
Don't try to resist cause there's no way to get rid of me
Look into the mirror, tell me if you see yourself or me
You will see who really has the power here
I am digging graves
For my sanity
Noone would know it wasn't you
Noone could see the difference
I am the thorn in your mind
I am what's keeping you alive
Don't think for a second that there is no us
Don't you realise that I'm a part of you, wether you like it or not
Just give in as our work has almost come to an end
Now just look me in the eyes and tell me that I am ashamed
Your control is an illusion

Wings
03:38
|

This has been my obsession for almost a decade
I've tasted blood and honor, but must I stay
Now that I want my freedom, I have been trapped in this
In this profound depression. I want to fly away
So make your choice
I hope that I will see you on the rooftop
So we can fly away
Our final step
Lies just one inch away
I want to take the leap, let the wings carry me
And I can't do this on my own
Oh please carry me to the sky
So make your choice
I hope that I will see you on the rooftop
So we can fly away.
Join me up here to fly away.
Our final step
Lies just one inch away
I want to take the leap, let the wings carry me
Our final step
Lies just one inch away
I want to take the leap, please carry me
Lift me up, gravity still pulls me
Lift me up, stop my fall
And believe me I'll never come back
To this hellhole
Where time seems to stand still
Where every second repeats over and over again
Over and over again.
Oh wings, carry me!
Let the winds pull me up.
Oh please carry me to the sky

I won't be turning back
Down with the angels I fell
And I paid for my sins
I spent a lifetime in deep retaliation
Resurrect me, I still have ties to knot
Resurrect me from the depths of hell
From the depths of hell
Now that I've come this far
I won't be turning back because
I'm longing for better
Since I came back to life
I stopped being afraid
So this is my second death
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up my friend
Emerge! Emerge from your monumental grave
This sepulcher shall be reminder
Of my filthiest sin, the last thing you'll see
Write your stories about me
For I am the man who will live to see everything until the end
Now that I've come this far
I won't be turning back because
I'm longing for better
Since I came back to life
I stopped being afraid
So this is my millionth death
I'll come back for more
Now that I've come this far I won't be turning back because
I'm longing for better
Give me a brand new heart
Give me a brand new life
And I'll be forever remembered
Forever remembered

Eternal Sleep
04:37
|
|||
Deep within my heart a black tumour grows larger
My vision fades, my ears go mute, so begins an eternal sleep
The vessel to carry my soul is delayed by the faithful
The bridge leading to paradise: Nothing but ashes
Carve your message into stone
If you want to leave something
To be remembered by
To not be blown away in the wind like the rest
Craving to seek better fortune now seems just as pointless
As running from the inevitable
Relieved as a demon or reborn as an angle
Confined by your good deeds and defined by your sins
The illusion of a second chance, like a siren it pulls me in
I'm strapped down on a torture bench, I am stuck right where I left
A flower blossoms in a field of chemical fallout
A light, green and bright, filling me with delight, emerges from the ground
Immediately I'm blind, deaf, mute and paralyzed
No way to know, if I'm dead or alive
Receiving a voice right inside of my mind
Telling me "Don't be afraid, your time is right!"
Relieved as a demon or reborn as an angle
Confined by your good deeds and defined by your sins
Where will I go? Who will I be?
Will I get a fresh soul?
Will I revisit old skin?
Or will I forever sleep?

Storm
04:12
|
|||
We lept off, let fate decide
No chance to find out if we'd survive
But instead of hitting the ground
Our view flipped up-side-down
We lept off, let fate decide
And it chose to let us give it a try
So we ascend higher and higher
Pass the clouds, into the sky
Left, Right, Down, thrown around
Through the atmosphere
No turning back now
There's no turning back now
No turning back now
Let the wind be our guide,
Let it show us the way
Let the storm pass right by
Without changing our course
Don't look down, don't look back, don't hesitate
There's only one way left to go now
Through black clouds, through rain and ice
Not a single thing to slow us down
Mountain after mountain we push forward
Let's see what our fate has in store
Mountain after mountain we push forward
Will we ever touch the ground again?
Let the wind be our guide,
Let it show us the way
Let the storm pass right by
Without changing our course
Clear the fog, let us see:
Is there anywhere to land?
Are we stuck in the air?
Will we ever touch the ground?
We're as free as this storm lets us be
And just that like we trapped ourselves in the pursuit of our dreams!
Tumbling through the air, no idea what's left or right, wether to descend or to climb!
We're trapped inside our own storm!

Blackout
04:32
|
|||
One by one the lights go out
The streets go dark, cars crashing all around
The speculations begin
This is a blackout
People run in panic
Want to save themselves
Cause this is anarchy
Everyone for themselves
The clinics running out of space fast
Police capacity is edging
Food starts to spoil
Generators running out of gas
Let's get this party started
Humanity at its finest
Incineration Of society
The world is going back in time
The sun is now our only light
Do you have what it takes to survive
Are you ready to fight?
Are you ready for a global revolution?
Who will you listen to?
Who will become the new government?
Will there still be the same
Country borders? Or will they be redrawn?
How many years Will we devolve?
The world is going back in time
The sun is now our only light
Do you have what it takes to survive
Are you ready to fight?
Are you ready for a global revolution?
Are you ready for a global revolution?
Reform into former seclusion
Devolve into mythical monsters
Delete your current understanding
Of society
We've reached the end of the line. Let's clear some space for a new time!

No longer shall I hide my thoughts
I am here to embrace my truth
I tell, you believe, that's just how it goes
No time for questions, just swallow it all
You heard it from me first, it must be true
Don't listen to what they all claim to know
What is this world, where anyone
Can preach whatever the hell they want?
Deafening screams from all around
Claiming to know what's right or wrong
These simple lies are confused with the truth
While the snakes from above spit their venomous claims
Does it matter anymore who to believe
If every story has a version 10?
No longer shall I hide my thoughts
I am here to embrace my truth
Turn the TV on, it's time to feed on what
Altered reality I want to believe
These simple lies are confused with the truth
While the snakes from above spit their venomous claims
Does it matter anymore who to believe
If every story has a version 10?
Don't doubt me! Don't think twice!I can't afford to let you not pay the price
Don't doubt me! Don't think twice! Don't believe any other words except mine
Don't doubt me! Don't think twice! You're mind is mine
Don't doubt me! Don't think twice! I am the source of all that's right Don't doubt me! Don't think twice! No longer shall I hide my thoughts, I am here to embrace my truth

I can feel it under my feet how I landed safely
But as I look into the sky I can still see you strugg'lin to fly
I can not tell you how to flap your wings, I can't teach you how to fly
This time you'll have to face it on your own
Now don't get me wrong
I will still be there when you fall
Don't get me wrong
I'm not doing it to hurt you
I just have to take care of myself for once
"What right does the wind have
To change the course of a bird?
What inconvenience
Will it further apply?"
These are your thoughts, these are your questions
You keep forgetting that it's you
Who is the barrier of yourself
So bring down these walls
I'll take back what I said
I'll even build the bridges you burnt down
But just keep in mind: It's up to you to break these chains
I'll never stand in your way
I'll let you be whoever you want to be
But just keep in mind: What has been done will never be undone
Do you want to be happy?
Or do you want to be free?
Do you want to be carried?
Or do you want to be carrying?
I can not tell you how to flap your wings,
I can not teach you how to fly
I'll take back what I said
I'll even build the bridge that you burnt down
But just keep in mind that it's up to you to break these chains
I'll never stand in your way
I'll let you be whoever you want to be
But just keep in mind: What has been done will never be undone
I can feel it under my feet how I landed safely
But as I look into the sky I can still see you struggelin to fly
When will you finally learn to take care of yourself?
For once I made up my mind: I want to be free (Never be undone)

Unity, Resistance Pt.2

Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't dare say that you are the popular voice
Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't think you can stand a chance against the rest of us
OH! The table's been turning since 1945
So why are you still trying?
OH! If you have some kind of brain
Why throw it out to waste
And make yourself look like a fucking disgrace
Day by day?
You can't be serious if you have to masquerade
Your prime example seen by millions of eyes If only you had half a brain
Maybe you would see that you're a fucking joke
Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't dare say that you are the popular voice
Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't think you can stand a chance against the rest of us
Take a look at Chemnitz
Your unholy nest
We were there in masses
To trample on your heads
Now look everywhere else
Every corner you're in
We'll be there in masses
To trample on your heads
You had your time in history
To kill and butcher away
But now it's time for humanity to shine
It's time for us to yell
Fuck your ideology
Fuck your homophobia
Fuck your racism Fuck your misoginy
You had your time in history
But now it's time for humanity to shine
Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't dare say that you are the popular voice
Dissolve in your brown fascist soup
And don't think you can stand a chance against the rest of us
You won't stand a chance

Second Guesses

You were there since the beginning of my life
You swung me in your arms when I cried
You weren't hesitant to comfort
You were always there for me
You listened to every problem I had
Every little step you supported me
You'd have climbed every mountain for me Now why did all this fade to dust?
Break it! Snap it! Throw it! Smash it! Spike it up!
Scratch it! Burn it! Slice it! Divide it! Rince, repeat!
This toxicity is something I'd cut out
But how could you remove what brought you life?
I'll always fake my smiles to make you think you're right
Collapsed in my room I wonder how I have
Deserved your wrath for every little mistake?
I never thought there would be something to uncover
Like best friends we cried in joy
Thinking we would always stay this way
Take my heart, crush it in your hands
Take my crutch, snap it in front of my eyes
Take my trust and throw into the trash container
I never thought I could feel astranged by you
I'll always fake my smiles to make you think you're right
Collapsed in my room I wonder how I have
Deserved your wrath for every little mistake?
I never thought there would be something to uncover
I never thought there would be second guesses!
I never thought that I could feel astranged by you!
Loving and caring and sweet at the start
But now you're a villain with a place in my heart
Every child deserves a caretaker and every adult should still be given this delight
It doesn't matter your age, if you can't respect or choose not to love, then don't expect it yourself
There's no excuse for treating your child like any other ghost you'd pass on the street
It doesn't matter their age, it doesn't matter how much they matured!
A parent's there to parent

Poison (Bonus Track)
04:37

On this light-deprived day
A golden flask on a silver tray
Liquid's glowing in a hopeful bloom
Promised to save me from this gloom.
It fills me from the inside out
And I can't live without the buzz
Feeding on my scars
Growing from my fears
Reopening old wounds
I don't want to lose myself
But yet this potion pulls me together
I don't want to be obsessed
But I know without it I would crumble
I can feel my insides dying
But still they scream for this anesthetic fuel
I know it tears me apart
But it's the only thing to give me comfort
This poison drains me dry
Leaving me to pathetically cry
It washed away my pride
Now let it wash away your pain
Feeding on my scars
Growing from my fears
Reopening old wounds
Wash away the pain
Smother all your feelings
Take it, don't leave it. Out of the fucking question
Don't fucking dare to prevent me from taking it in
Don't fucking dare to tell me that it's wrong
This flask's the only thing to bring me comfort
Feeding on my scars
Growing from my fears
Reopening old wounds
Wash away the pain
Smother all your feelings
