[Helmantel/Bruinenberg/Parry]
D'you ever get the feeling that, you're never welcome You walked into a place feel the atmosphere change My body's trembling, I sense a presence strange within A ghostly silence, a place for the living dead Icehouse... a sanctuary for strangers Where evil's waiting Icehouse... your darkest secrets are known In this icehouse... a pure demoralization A cold frustration Icehouse... darkness glows No sign of life, the air you breathe is thick and frozen A shallow grave awaits, a home for the living dead Don't venture in, you'll just regret this sight appalling It feeds on frightened souls, the lost and the weak of heart |

Known well and favoured There's no limit to his charm This illusive adversary, unforeseeable consequences Absurd behaviour, a macabre like frame of mind Living for the moment, not a care in the world Excuses one and more... proclamations he'll make You must, beware... a hand and arm he'll take ...He'll disregard us all Though in thee we trust Lead us not to temptation Help us one and all In the company of a force majeure Lead us, lead us not... beyond the realms of our salvation No sacrifice is more... than following a force majeure Each vow is broken, it's a total waste of life An urge to lead us on, irresistible strange compulsions Euphoric notions, superior in kind So irresponsible, for the fun of it all |

[Van der Laars/Parry]
Wait a minute, hold your horses there What's the rush now, take your time Easy does it, the hours the seconds they They last forever, an infinity of time Each day and forever, endlessly the same Nothing ever happens worth, mentioning again Significantly quiet as always It's all we wanna do, we're killing time Killing time There's nothing else we'd rather do Rather do Than killing time (Just Killing Time) Late a minute, an hour a perfect time It doesn't matter now, take a while Easy does it, don't have a heart attack The brain keeps warning us, messages of kind Patience is virtue, at least that's what they say What's the point in hurrying, take it day by day There's time enough to get things done |

(Rondat/Parry)
Hiding in fear Such abnormality Close your eyes now, say a prayer Memories, a punishment so real They played their cold and isolated games Games, that wicked children played They made you feel afraid Paralysed, a child's imagination Lost You're caught inside a spell Subconsciously afraid The answer lies, behind the tears Fight Don't hide away you're strong Enough to face the truth Which hides behind, behind the tears Reality, it comes in shapes and forms Concentration, chase those fears away Thought a power, the power to be free Think positive the pain will disappear |

An' through the mist I see, an image standing there But do my eyes deceive me I'm seeing what I see, what is reality It's just a game The great charade, which we play Are we here, to pick out the clues Opposites they always meet... try to focus try to see Nothing here is what it seems.. in this world, nothing's real Try to focus try to see... where opposites always meet Nothing in this world is real... nothing here is what it seems A concept so surreal, this abstract world in view With no beginning or ending Our rationality, we think therefore we are If it's a game, who makes the rules An' now the mist has cleared, thyn eyes the truth they see Beneath the mysteries, the magic Our future is in our hands, if we are who we are The choice is ours, if we choose |

(Parry)
On the surface things look different What's underneath you cannot tell For years it seems that everything is going well Behind the laughter hides a mystery Shrouded in a friendly veil The moment when you're making progress All things fail A challenge to be solved, they can't resist The chase Their masquerade This dangerous path you're on, what if your instinct's wrong Beware the wrath of a patient man Danger, danger Danger Lies Close beside, close beside you Danger, danger, close beside Waiting to take you away What we perceive as being normal A twisted mind won't stipulate To occupy their genius a masquerade Way down a no-where road you're drifting Into a no-where place you'll stay Make a wish pray someone's listening, night and day |

[Van der Laars/Parry]
Responsibility and blame, tall orders made Affecting the lives of your friends, for whom you care Serious doubts within A nightmarish tale look what you've done A sacrifice means many things Determined you won't give in The answer is loud and clear Against all the odds you're determined to win A simple solution exists Such loyalty and trust you gave To all your friends Impossibilities, this task you face Solutions for everyone The perfect resolve can it be found Loyalty and trust, both you gave Simplicity a saving grace, as clear as day Don't be cruel to be kind, just change your ways Searching your soul inside Your nightmarish tale has finally gone |

(Rondat/Parry)
Crystal drops of rain I make a wish and hope... to die Is such a feeling very strange I'm living my life On borrowed time In this weird existence I'm not afraid I'm gettin' ready to stand in line An' I believe, there's no disgrace In wanting more, than just this plain old life An' I believe, beyond this time and space Well it's crystal clear, what life is all about As futile as it seems I'm never losing sight Of how important life can be So I embrace the test of time And gaze up to the stars Waiting for my turn to come... my other life I believe, there's no disgrace In wanting more, than just a plain old life In wanting more, than just an ordinary life An' I believe, beyond this time and space I believe, time and space Well it's crystal clear, what life is all about |

What you see you must not touch, what you see What you want you cannot have, what you want As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised A chemical and biological attraction, came to be Consummate, your one desire Physically connect as one To copulate, will quench the fire Burning fiercely in the soul and mind What you want You know you can't touch What you see You know you can't have What you need It's just what you feel What you can't have You want more and more Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized Forbidden fruit resist the call An appetite, to self-indulge Keep's growing stronger by the day Your self-control, you're bound to lose If you continue in this feverish way Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized Forbidden fruit resist the call Don't be drawn into it's sweet desires Forbidden fruit can change it's form Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything is brought to you by the creator As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised A chemical and biological attraction, came to be Why, why did man create all of these things? |
