Dominion

A portrait which carries the story
Which is always the same
Compare this cross to the next man
To be someone else instead

Weighted with this burden
You believe you're alone
Everyone has something
Life will leave you to learn

Where you see a perfection
Belies a different restraint
Another source of disillusions
Got you fooled in envy

What do you see
What do you think you see
Do you know what you're wishing
Do you know

Hard to find contentment
You can't see
Past your own self hatred
While your...

Time wasters
You don't notice
If you let this beat you

Everyone is equal
If you look a little closer

And wnen you learn to see
That nothing is that serious
You will grasp something to live for
These feeting moments
Will end

To then see this gift
And underline the truth
What we take for life
How we misunderstood

I see through me, inside the outside of you
Can things seem so close
So near, yet too far out of reach
Distorted veils from behind which only I see
The clear perception of what life rally should be

Take my hand, dependent to feel
Insanity for what is real
In twisted redemption, release the confines
Reality seems to restrict with

One side say it's a sin, indulgence, let it suck you in
At peace when out of you mind
To kill another day in my life

Seems so feint, can't find my way out of this maze
Drowning deeper, the soul believer
Taking my life is the only way

Lost inside mental feeling
How different i percieve this life
Of unseen madness
In a state of awareness, i cling to revelations
Inverted to make the most sense

Just a fool who's lost his way
When each night blurs into day
Not willing to count the cost
I'm just adicted, my life is lost
Can't you see, fuck I'm in pain
No life to lead, nothing to gain

Descent in line from innocence
From blood this love defiles me
Unchosen - yet it holds our restraint
Through this child you will live again

I breathe life through you
I breathe life through
What you believe - through me

Dependant in my helpless state
You work on my emotional fate
Take out this part of me
Which turns me into you

Imprint your words in mentality
Pass on your own self righteous faith
Explain reason in your own wisdom
Your failures will live again

Imprisoned under fate's own hereditory leader
Can i overcome what this dependance fractured
Or will you stay here?

Fight through this bloodline of distorted pictures
Subtract from the mind this broken experience
Not to live again

This window to our so called lives, the worst drug known to mankind
Can't you see through the hollow vision that's right before your eyes?
Brainwashed by the fucking media, out of sight, out of mind

There is no truth, deceiving words, controlling vision, distorted perception

Is there a reason to survive, the monuments of instilled lies, the cage they
Have us all inside
The power of thought, they have the force, destroyed beliefs and altered
Course
Of life your mind has led you on

Do you not see through this charade
Your rightful judgment is to fade into the eyes of biased minds
Control the mass, unseen weapon, concealed deceit, subtract aggression
To conform and hold you down

We pay the price to suffer in this world, technologies domination has
Evolved up through time
Can't you see through the hollow vision that's right before our eyes?
Brainwashed by the fucking media, out of sight, out of mind

Mistaken identity, fooled us all
And didn't you know
Took betrayal in your stride
Used to biding time

Manipulated her - now on you she must rely
Yet she chose to look away
Lood away - from too many lies

And whwn you come face to face
You will become what you created

From these souls that you sold
Life's avenger will reap the rewards
Through a justice unseen

And what you gave will return
Through these ruins fate will follow

In submisssion - no escape
You will abide to the work of your own hands
Reformed destiny

Taken this life, not to lay it to rest
When you've taken this life
Then you'll move onto the next

Willing victim to fall to this appeal
When you play a part
Carefully chosen in line to survive

As you live out your promises
Forged promises

Where does your conscience reside
When you have carved
This same future in other lives
Realisation falls silently over
But you know they have come
Too far, too far to look back

Your hour is gaining quickly
Not too soon for those who wait
To see now death becomes you
How death becones you

And when you've taken this life
Your time will come around

Commercial crucifixion
Why bow to those in charge
No questions follow aimlessly
Time to give away your mind

Collide with accepted opinion
You're making it hard
For yourself - in this so called choice
And are we permitted to have imagination
Recognise this dormant attitude

Don't listen to those who destroy
This instintive direction
Who is anyone to lay judgement and
Judge you if you don't follow on passively

You're fucking with destiny
Down to your own inferior declne

We can't beat them but won't join them
We won't rise up to their ideals
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eyes

Down but not out
They criticise us in the public eye

Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eye

Dare to differ and do you fear
Being the outcat
Afraid of what they might say
Turn your back
And let prejudice criticise you
Who's the real loser

You couldn't run from what you became
From one who would vent his revenge
Through the time you were young
To look up to the put downs he gave instead

In all your darkest questions
You could never find the answers

This chance with death overcasting the way
Tempted to try the peace you could give

You would wear your torment on the inside
You'd hide it so well
Until you released it again
I thought i could help you

And you would weep to me
Reveal this withered spirit
Pour out your soul
Let me share your misery

And sometimes I saw myself in you
Recognised the colourless feelings
We shared relief in knowing we were not alone

I couldn't convince you to believe
The hope had already gone
You'd suffered alienation for far too long

You'd resigned to the description
When you took your own life
Your past would never leave
You had already died

The night you chose the ending
I can see those sbtle warnings
Pass like it was meant to be
But I am just as quilty

Bet you don't miss it here

Unknown to me the sun deceives, storms from the east, crimson now is the sea
Black shapes unknown that resemble human form
In the rains they came to free us from this mortal coil

Shall we see in the fullness of time if the prophecies can shine through
The silhouettes against the sun

The promises of a brave new world slipped straight through our weary eyes
Behind the blue sky horizon remains only truth

The beginning is the end, we are twisted never to be reborn
Just as a soft breeze carries dead leaves, the rains shall never cease

In the aura of time, ripped out of the blazing skies
Genesis of a new strain, the mother feeds her child

Silence broken, the birth of mankind, but the shadows conceal fears unspoken
Like tears from the stars

And the questions went unanswered among all it's people
Creation of a false belief he had to give his reasons
Like whispers in the ocean the words went unheard
Like tears from the stars the warnings went ignored

Like tears from the stars the mother feeds her child
Our search in life for our destiny, behold the grains that slowly drift away
Unforeseen fate will pale reality, in fears eclipse we'll hear the world
While it weeps

Turn around and walk away, kiss the rose and let it die
But how many times have I fallen over waiting for my soul to feel the light

And the cup was taken from the hands of greed and misery
Evolution in time will bring forth the new breed

I brace myself but to no avail, numbness crept over me, overpowering
Oppression deepening
Every muscle paralysed
Laying under a veil of righteousness, finally everything became blank
Projecting my spirit from within, leaving the body behind

Gazing down at my face, pale and as still as death
The flowers withered and life wept, but my body remained sleepless

The blinding light reveals your purity, this voyage here seems so tangible

I will hear them, I will hear the songs that were played from the birth of
The first
Foolish embrace of a false esteem, the wind will turn
Call, I keep calling... Same hostility lies
In the depths of all our existence
Encapture time to find the other side, but it's all the same

And like the word your life unfolds, upon the tears for which you burn
Come seek the life from which you hide
Let go the guilt that dwells within, from which the torch was lit in sin
Come walk the road to find your true paradise

Spread forth your wings and fly away...

And life it's hard
Struggling from day to day
While the powers that be
Feed us shit they want us to believe
And life it's hard
We're getting fucked from day to day
Working as slaves to fulfill
Their corruptable greed

I'm not gonna take this anymore
Offered a chance to equal the score
We're all covered in blood, yeah
We're all covered in our own blood
To you it's an impoverished few
It's about time you looked at the full scope
We'll be covered in blood, yeah
Covered in your blood again

Rise up, rise up, rise up and take control
Replace mistakes from history
A chance to call the world our own
Yeah, we're not backing down
We shall be forever
When the shit hits the fan
You'll be the one who's left here screaming

And life it's hard
It's getting easier day by day
Making fools of the few
Who just wish they knew

And life it's hard
It's about time we opened a new scope
You'll be covered in blood
Covered in your own blood again

Rise up, rise up, rise up and take control
Replace mistakes from history
A chance to call the world our own

Can't we see their games to which we are pawns? Drawn to conform, restrained

Is it the blind lead the blind? Or are we the fools who follow?

Listening to minds bent on power for their needed elation
To place your trust in the eye's of the blind to real life
Stand by the water all you see is just a reflection
Yet the water is deep like your instincts don't place your beliefs in
Another mans hands

Brainwashed to believe their obvious lies, censored from the truth, denied

Stagnant lands lie victim, losing conscious wisdom
The beast will ride into all his awaited creations, suffering will prevail

No one can hear societies lifeless cries, suffering in silence as part of
Your game
We do not question what is taken for granted, democracy a facade, lets open
Our eyes

Bleeding us dry of what is ours, dependent on us to survive
Living this absurd masquerade, conformity, oh so dear

And what they prophecise, dormant in the dust of ones demise
The clouds of pity rain down from the heavens

This window to our so called lives, the worst drug known to mankind
Can't you see through the hollow vision that's right before your eyes?
Brainwashed by the fucking media, out of sight, out of mind

There is no truth, deceiving words, controlling vision, distorted perception

Is there a reason to survive, the monuments of instilled lies, the cage they
Have us all inside
The power of thought, they have the force, destroyed beliefs and altered
Course
Of life your mind has led you on

Do you not see through this charade
Your rightful judgment is to fade into the eyes of biased minds
Control the mass, unseen weapon, concealed deceit, subtract aggression
To conform and hold you down

We pay the price to suffer in this world, technologies domination has
Evolved up through time
Can't you see through the hollow vision that's right before our eyes?
Brainwashed by the fucking media, out of sight, out of mind

Yearning for the dawn of the golden age, a new beginning, when will things
Change

The bleak winter is over and the ice starts to melt
A changing of the seasons, I have lost what I once felt

A pain that eats me inside, so far away from the outside
Redemption of our rapport, dissension continues to hinder

Let me be free. I wish to ride the storm, let the winds blow and the rain
Pour
Crimson sea take me, away from all the pain

Elapsing impulse of sentiment, bearing heart felt emotion tears

Unknown to me the sun deceives, storms from the east, crimson now is the sea
Black shapes unknown that resemble human form
In the rains they came to free us from this mortal coil

Shall we see in the fullness of time if the prophecies can shine through
The silhouettes against the sun

The promises of a brave new world slipped straight through our weary eyes
Behind the blue sky horizon remains only truth

The beginning is the end, we are twisted never to be reborn
Just as a soft breeze carries dead leaves, the rains shall never cease

Couldn't sleep so I went out walking
Thinking about you and hearing us talking
And all the things I should have said
Echo now, inside my head

I feel something falling from the sky
I'm so sad I made the angels cry

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

It just ain't fair this thing called loving
When one step there and the other feels nothing
I would have done anything for you
I still love you, baby I adore you

All day I keep from falling apart
But at night when the sky gets dark

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Stop, Stop haunting me
It should be easy
As easy as when you stopped wanting me

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
But tears from the moon
Can't wash away the pain

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

I brace myself but to no avail, numbness crept over me, overpowering oppression deepening
Every muscle paralysed
Laying under a veil of righteousness, finally everything became blank
Projecting my spirit from within, leaving the body behind

Gazing down at my face, pale and as still as death
The flowers withered and life wept, but my body remained sleepless

The blinding light reveals your purity, this voyage here seems so tangible

I will hear them, I will hear the songs that were played from the birth of the first
Foolish embrace of a false esteem, the wind will turn
Call, I keep calling... Same hostility lies
In the depths of all our existence
Encapture time to find the other side, but it's all the same

And like the word your life unfolds, upon the tears for which you burn
Come seek the life from which you hide
Let go the guilt that dwells within, from which the torch was lit in sin
Come walk the road to find your true paradise

Spread forth your wings and fly away...

To still cling to the shadows of doubt, to hinder growth into the soul of
Finding yourself
I hear your pain

The fears of my life stand before me...
Do I end it now for God my children, just close my eyes

To feel the distance getting further, but there is light on the horizon
Just don't look down

And the cold will rise up and try to break the will again inside
Watch the fallen leaves and follow, it will pass like the change of season

To banish fear, want more to pass her along the road
How many tears, polluting freedom, there's more to go

The constant fight deludes the point, the burning pastures will destroy
The time you have to make your own and stand the ground of which yourself
Created

Finding a sign of truth to follow, holding a memory for tomorrow
A hope to reach inside the heart and take the hand to never be afraid

Never to walk the shores unknown, never to seek the depths untold
Never to picture blinding hopes and taste the lips of a dream ignored
Never to know what could have been, never to feel the breath of freedom
Never to hear the song of reward, to weave the fear in the depths of remorse

A portrait which carries the story
Which is always the same
Compare this cross to the next man
To be someone else instead

Weighted with this burden
You believe you're alone
Everyone has something
Life will leave you to learn

Where you see a perfection
Belies a different restraint

Fight through this bloodline of distorted pictures
Subtract from the mind this broken experience
Not to live again

Trivial to your allure to this growth
Through technology
You place, our worth under efficiency

Stand our common ground
We've got our own lives to lead
A posture in time, resulting human demise

Indignant to our value as expendabe energy
Withdraw our life
From reason to exist here

And when you
Take this defenceless last life in
Which greed blatantly guided
You will discover you cannot
Survive on worth here

Look at what you have taken
And devoured, devoured
Always a price to be placed

Which is priority?
Wasted development
No morality to progression
It collides witin your greed

What it gains doesn't justify
Reasonless production - fuelling nothing

As we suceed we bleed

Mistaken identity, fooled us all
And didn't you know
Took betrayal in your stride
Used to biding time

Manipulated her - now on you she must rely
Yet she chose to look away
Lood away - from too many lies

And whwn you come face to face

Rise up, rise up, rise up and take control
Replace mistakes from history
A chance to call the world our own

Afraid to feel in seclusion we hide away
This face, unseen, instinct denies true liberty

And thy soul, signifies the true self
Denied the role destined to be alone

Sever the weakened
Sever inside
Will i forever live
In deceit of myself?

Trust my imptression
And I've sold you the lies
That hide as they reflect
The same disguise

Betrayal beneath this, confusion weeps inner tears
Untold in fear, afraid to lose the dignity

And I don't understand why hate should rise
Above to hold as reliance to survive
