How I've come this far I don't know I never ask for this in the first place What we've done wrong I would like to know I've been through all paths I've become everything Made every possible choice Flying on golden wings My intentions were pure, but beware of what you wish Come on this journey with me through time and reality The absolution is taking us to the end But still we're searching for a sign Dead pale grey sky announcing the fall of men The fall of men Embrace vanity, boost your ego Become the hunt of perfection Flood your brain with information Cheap words with nothing really to say Reset the values, improve your beliefs Get amplified with great machinery Inject your soul with self destruction Just forget about your fucking personality Far behind on the way I left my humanity I look deep into the mirror but I don't recognize what I see What we were, what we are, what we will be Through time, and space….

I am still the boy that I used to be I don’t lend the things that I want The mirror tells me that I'm right It doesn’t matter how the years pass by Follow the naivety way wondering why….. Growing up tastes like I have betrayed my dreams again The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me I wont pretend to be a different entity A lifetime in the shadows hiding like a ghost I wont pretend I’m strong I wont hide myself when I cry Deep inside I have a giant soul And you will choose the true side Growing up tastes like I have betrayed my dreams again The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me Surrounded by burning ambition I see myself amplified My heart pumps with no attrition Ignite my desire Growing up tastes like I am betraying my dreams again The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me I miss that paradise Immune to earthquakes and floods Where doors were open And you were someone I used to trust When I could look into your eyes Where is my generation? That one who believed in ideals of hope The world that we used to know Is fading away As I'm taking off my mask And becoming the one I'm supposed to be Bastard!! You're poisoning my dreams Bastard!! Taking my self-steam I am the number 2 Now you see myself through my eyes, through my soul I'm not the lucky one But you will choose the true side, where to fight Your dreams will show you the way Now you say, you want to stay? Or do you want to run away? Away……

Walking embraced to the shadows Some of them just kick you out They abscond when you offer your fire Don't follow them They're still in the ground You'll see how fast the peaks are crossed The horizon makes you sink down If you stay with me We will cross the sky Find ourselves at the end We'll forgive our scars Take them away The longest line ends in your fear The vanishing points let you forbid Rise up, rise up Tear down the streetlights Fuel your flame and flash Run out, run out Escape through the lines that fade Making the way for shunt Rise up, there is nothing left under your feet It's time to change Run out, because the new way you are Will break the way The mixture of colours turns up Giving a sense for the emptiness We were betrayed by the roots that link the equilibrium Between holding you down and making you feel out of gravity The longest line ends in your fear The vanishing points let you forbid

Cryogenics 04:57
I wanna testify myself to analyse all the reasons Why should I belong (if I should belong...) I do not criticise, every fiction is shown Like spectres extending their hands… Extending their claws This world hasn't got the hero is hoped You sold your soul and are willing to sell mine I just stay, I just stay, I just stay But with wide eyes I listen, I listen, no answer, no answer... I can see from the sky The exception is hidden under some desert plains I wanna break inside again I hate the manner you treat our divine and pretended linkage This world hasn't got the hero is hoped You sold your soul and are willing to sell mine I wanna testify myself To analyse all the reasons Why should I belong (if I should belong) I wanna ask myself again If I gather the reasons, if it's time to return It's time to return...

It's not the feats he achieve It's the feats he makes And the opportunities that he creates He is not a man, he is a sea He is evolution Break the past, create out of nothingness What we are, what it means We don't understand And yet, we think we'll live forever We've lost our purpose We're stuck Lying to ourselves Broken in your vanity Swimming in denied dreams You want to achieve greatness But through greed and misery Man's greatness lies in being a bridge and not a goal But he collapsed on to its own ocean You, cannot get into his stride anymore But he collapsed And now he is just waiting you to fall
6.
I want to destroy our future Cause I can't forgive our past I throw my bag of broken promises Into the maze of nothingness Try to cipher the puzzle, the reason why I'm turning the faces of rubik Try to fill up the abyss, the void within Try to pretend that we are not lost Yesterday what I needed was feel my warmth, safety and get closer your affection, fill up my heart and share with you My wants are now puzzle by Sadness - sorrow The monotony with no sense to fight for Yesterday what I needed was feel my warmth, safety and get closer your affection, fill up my heart and share with you I nail our fear My demands are clear When I break through the fear No matter how strong is my fever If comes the time I hold strong my sword If you appear Sadness - sorrow The monotony with no sense to fight for Yesterday what I needed was feel my warmth, safety and get closer your affection, fill up my heart and share with you My wants are now puzzle by Sadness - sorrow The monotony with no sense to fight for

Picture yourself in a boat in a river Build some castles just moving a finger Start creating as a magnificent At the fountain I will not point out who created this bubble Keep blowing, we're feeling bigger Nobody can't whiter this flower Scarcity of repentance My eyes sting every time I stare the wire spark Act as a minimalist But only for thinking big Style many items Decode to the smallest detail In the holes of your grey matter In the holes Of your grey matter I will not point out who created this bubble Keep blowing, we're feeling bigger Nobody can't whiter this flower Scarcity of repentance My eyes sting every time I stare... Those who created the lamp and the genie Did not take into account that was completely stupid Pissing off the gods in their own universe Of course they will blow up the lamp and your wishes Here I am, at the highest mountain So close to the sun but I can't say nothing My body is already burned but still hearing the voices And understand nothing Je l´ai déjà fait et ne comprends rien Je l´ai déjà fait et ne comprends rien

Bow down We have destroyed our sanctuary Broken the fishbowl glass And we could not care less Times for fame /// not success The show starts The screen has disjoined our gaze Destroy the feel Watch beneath the remains Smash down every part of your will Would you join the foolish gathering? I've learned how to hate I've learned how to separate Drenched in technology I'm a product of society Fuck you I've learned how to hate I've learned how to separate Drenched in technology I'm a product of society Fuck you My desire vanishes every time the stream crash to the stones Push me back to the start, discount the effort, nothing seems worth so Everything makes no sense at all Turns to black I fall Rigged mirrors are dividing us The outcome's kissing ground

Ghost Eyes 05:00
Show me the place where I can fly over this Give me a reason to forgive all these memories Watch all these people under us without any dream Give me a chance to be higher for once Ghost, open the skies, look at me Hold my hand and take me up to the endless scene There is nothing I can do to stand such gilt I am falling down again to crush Let me get inside the mind Boundless pupils, through the ghost eyes...

I let you alone You need time Always looking through the night One day it smiles, another cries I know why you are concealed in the dark Enjoying the moments in your hideout Is like fishing in a swamp And tasting the rotten ground Yes, I wanna show my empathy I want to crawl in your way And fade into your destiny I know you will find Your elephant graveyard What today means all, tomorrow will expire The moon bright enough To shine the dark way What today means all Tomorrow will expire I know you will find Your elephant graveyard What today means all, tomorrow will expire I saw how you wet The brush with your hate And you painted in black Every door that was open Every sign of talent Was cut like little branches Shine your way

When we talked about things we were gonna do We were wide eyes and wiser too The ship is under full sail Ready to cruise over the city ruins Trying to rescue the values deep inside Maybe the city shall burn out before reborn as we did We will show this world How to see through the people eyes How to see through The path of the rainbow And give the best touch when we cry To push further my perception There is no regret in life Today we are finding out that there is tomorrow But making sure that today we run our way If the roads look grey, please don't paint it even more dark It's enough to listen to my awareness And my rage agains your intransigence The life run faster than we But we learned how to surf over the waves Our wings are attached By the light How to see through The path of the rainbow And give the best touch when we cry To push further my perception There is no regret in life

Look how Im gonna give of myself I waste every last drop Rather than choose, rather than save I drop the energy in each action the elegancy divides my soul From sacrifice to resurrection! The cycle makes me reborn I'll show what I am made of, and give it back I'll break me down, and hold me in racks So throw them away Yes, throw me away Desperation is what I feel around Delivering the ashes that you will find Look how I'm gonna jump on the air Transcending this bloody red sea the dusk let me in I'll cross the sky with every action The elegancy becomes the falling From sacrifice to resurrection! The cycle makes me reborn I'll show what I am made of, and give it back I'll break me down, and hold me in racks So throw them away This is the point where being naked I don't feel cold or warm Instead being sustained on the raw material, I get drown But instead of dying, I just cry as a new born You found my dump Where I keep going down Instead being sustained on the raw material, I get drown From sacrifice to resurrection! The cycle makes me reborn I'll show what I am made of, and give it back I'll break me down, and hold me in racks, So throw them away Yes, throw me away

The absolution is taking us to the end To a new beginning I see nothing but the void And the shades I left behind, they make the noise Walking embraced to the shadows Some of them just kick you out They abscond when you offer your fire Don't follow them! They're still in the ground You'll see how fast the peaks are crossed The horizon makes you sink down If you stay with me We will cross the sky Find ourselves at the end We'll forgive our scars Take them away The longest line ends in your fear The vanishing points let you forbid Walking embraced to the shadows Some of them just kick you out They abscond when you offer your fire The vanishing points Let you be free
