We make ritual noise
Wired to the world Under our fingertips We take special care Listen to the words Spoken in confidence We make ritual noise Shouting to be heard Cooling our burning lips We break down the gates Open up our wounds Bleeding for innocence We make ritual noise We weave the fabric of dreams We build cities of sound We feel the rhythm of time We live dangerous lives We have the power of will We twist logic around We feed the engines of change |

I'm falling out of cars
Don't know when I'll hit the ground Hold me when I fall Headlights in my face My body's full of scars Words are lost and won't be found Stay until I'm gone Stumbling on my knees I'm dancing in the dark Shrinking cities feel the sound Hear the silent hum Searchlights in the skies I'm blinded by the stars There is darkness all around Hold me when I cry Those were all my days I'm falling out of cars Hanging on the windscreen I'm blinded by the headlights I'm killing ground I'm dancing in the dark Stumbling on the highway I'm guided by the city light I'm lost and found I'm falling out of cars Don't know when I'll hit the ground Hold me when I fall Headlights in my face I'm dancing in the dark Shrinking cities feel the sound Hear the distant hum Searchlights in my eyes I never took the time I should have told you then I never found the time Falling out of cars I'm falling out of cars Hanging on the windscreen I'm blinded by the headlights I'm killing ground I'm dancing in the dark Stumbling on the highway I'm guided by the city light I'm lost and found |

The earth is shaking
Down below our feet We move in wonder And we generate the beat Our blood is boiling Wonderful in heat We glow like embers Dancing in the dark Where is the promised land Where is the brave new world Where do all dreams go when they die We can move the streets today The lights are fading out Before our eyes We lose each other And we celebrate the peace Our lives are changing Faster than we think We flow like dancers Crashing in the dark Another morning broken Shattered sheets of lead Clouds the size of oceans Inside and above our heads |

Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep
Listen and remember wait another day we are explorers far away from home Stay for just a moment watch the natives dance be civilized and kiss the pretty bride Brothers and sisters the pain is gone for now let's burn our books and find a little peace Sooner or later we walk another day we are colliders everywhere we go Stay for just a car-crash know your heart is weak be primitive and wave your love goodbye Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep Preachers and sinners we are all the same let's save ourselves and drink from deeper wells Hatred and compassion wail against the walls we are invaders trying to escape Fight for just a lifetime count the moments lost be so alive and cry as time goes by Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep Greater than the sun We are greater than the sun |

I ride the morning train
People come and go So many different faces As the city passes by I watch their tired eyes Journeys never made Broken dreams of leaving Fill the streets with dust This is our final journey It's the end of the line Constantly in transit We just want to go home The rain that falls for weeks Painting pictures on the streets Twisted stars beneath my feet I cruise the crowd I could be one of them Going back and forth Between familiar places As my blood turns cold I watch with gypsy eyes Secrets never told Stolen years of yearning Turn their tears to dust This is our final journey It's the end of the line Constantly in transit We just want to go home |

I don't know how I ended up here
On this frozen nameless shore I remember nothing of the journey And there is no one else around I go down across the towering dunes To watch the seagulls glide above So graceful when they are silent Like lonely white ghosts in the air I notice they are all unique With faces that are all their own Born to kiss the turbulent sky Before they collapse and die As I look and dream myself away A sound grows loud enough to hear Like disembodied friendly voices Carried on by southbound winds I wake up to the sound of silence Their words are faint and far away Like the finest spray of water They still speak of things I know I turn to fix my eyes on the horizon And I face the freezing gale I observe the majestic white waves As they rise and break and fall While they rise into the wild wind It picks them up before it strikes Steals away their urgent faces Lifts their spirits to the skies And their language's soft and broken But still I understand it well We talk about the ones we care for And of all the things we lost |

Lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain
He's there hunting nightly, driven by pain Burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain He's there, speaking lightly of life in pain Bionic killer the spider in his net Comes to his maker as close as he can get Weak little creatures speaking with god Their cries so insane, their prayers just in vain 'Cause I am the replicant, to hell with the gods Too late to escape, too late to regret No time to hide, no time to forget Lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain He's there hunting nightly, driven by pain The rain, always the rain Your pain sustained |

Lies the ocean of impurity A ship made of angel's hair Set sails on the morning tide In my heaven of despair Blows the wind of insanity A ship is sailing there With sails made of golden pride As a drowning man I watch myself in the boiling sea So if you are a man Prepare yourself for joining me In my heaven of despair Lies the shipwreck of my hope It is the sign for those who dare In memory of those who tried |

For ever alone in his empty heart He's always looking for a light in the dark Trapped in the endless void of time His soul is screaming for a meaning But the only answer he will ever get Is the echo of his lonesome question Resounding and insulting for ever Unfulfilled and in search for devotions For ever alone in his empty world He's always looking for a light in the dark Trapped in the endless void of life Disempowered and in search for completion For ever alone in his empty soul He's always looking for a light in the dark Trapped in the endless void of strife |

We failed to understand We lost our senses of direction Drowned in the desert sand We left home without notice No landmark to be seen The ground died beneath us The landscape was unclean As we search for oblivion We forget to remember The faint memory of home Far beyond the wasteland We drank the poisoned water To hear the serpent speak He told us of a garden With the treasure that we seek As we try to discover The secret deep inside There is nothing to be found Only dust in the wasteland |

The forcing walls are closing in
And the sky is still descending The price for a life in sin Is beyond repair and mending He can see it in the eyes Where life is slowly fading It's not worth it to be nice To a voice that's so evading He pulls the trigger of his gun The voice is so degrading Petrified he tries to run The words reverberating He hears chanting choirs and voices at night They're raging like fires but speaking so light He wants to kill the past To be alone at last He takes a step into the brain Little there remaining Dissolving in the frozen rain The voice is disengaging |

Every instant second a suspension of forever
A frail continuous sequence spanning over lives Blindfolded by stars we roam in our realm Striving to the very last dwindling at the most Relentless marching in the waste we produce for living Tending to forget we are not the lasting kind Every day we die we are slowly decomposing The steps we take upon the earth will be worn and lost As the moment elapsed We walked in slow motion Denying the tide We'll find our devotion Possessed by our possessions we deny the present In the gallery of achievements we look upon the past And as the moment passed away recalling the restraint Counting and weighing the amount of our breaths But strong in the knowledge of our lack of purpose By learning the fear and gaining our composure Content at the surface descension to come Peace in our loneliness although all will be lost As the moment elapsed We walked in slow motion Awaiting the tide We'll lose our devotion |

Every winter dies in sunlight only to be born again And the rainfall feeds the forests while the lightning strikes the trees Turning giants into dust fertile ashes on the ground I see them going down to the water Where they embrace the silent waves Slowly they're swallowed by the water And their breath ascending to the sky I see them now floating in the water Carried away, carried away I see wasteland turn into gardens watching oceans giving birth To fragile little creatures born to grow and multiply And the children of the children of the firstborn claims the land Building fences for protection from their brothers greedy grasp I watch kingdom rise and crumble and the nations come and go Only new names for the same things once the limits has been reached Now i see them lose their intrest in trhe deeds that have been done And the wisdom that's been found, as they return whence they came. |

I filtered the wind to sense the colours of the air
Projecting the graphs describing past and future The shapes of the living and calamity they bear Clairvoyance became a word far too weak Cynicism, awareness interlaced into grace A beauty from which my valedictory springs Forgive what seems sinister and crude to face Forgive my conviction to save these skies The wind of the north seems pleasant and lush Compared to the chill in my eyes at the time The wind of the north obey none but me Calm as the sun while deleting you all A withering process was programmed and set Annihilation unfortunately inhibited itself In the name of humanity the dissonance spread The heavenly became so ripped and blurred Dimensional rift that defines our existence Fragile and weak while mankind lasts To trigger the device that corrects and resets Focusing on routes, neglecting the past |

As shadows shift from grey to red, I notice there's no floor Transparent air suspends my weight as if I had no mass Suddenly the moon comes out from the clouded skies Wet and cold from shifting daydreams, wakeful in the sleep Windowpane observing some commotion down below Waiting for the noise to come to blur the weary mind Watching as a pastime and I'm the fallen star Go film - we can all be gods Go film - we will all be heroes Go film - we are all immortal Go film - we will all be safe Go film - we are all illusions Go film - and we can never touch I will shine again with burning light when I return In and out from foreign shores, I've gone astray in time Born to search for something I have never ever seen On an endless quest to hostile ground and unknown lands Then the scene go back to where it started and I fall As shadows shift from red to grey, I notice there's no floor And gravity awakes me as it throws me to the ground A million tiny grains of dust obscures me from your eyes |

When we learn to speak we speak to hear a voice As the years go by we learn a thousand words Then we try to talk to curse the silent sky Like diamonds in the ground We are waiting to be found In silence we are bound By the wailing wall of sound Want to break the shell and cut the puppet strings With our primal screams that echoes back inside Want to pierce the noise and make our voices heard To the distant shapes that wonders who we are We must put aside the weapons of our minds Cross the no man's land come with empty hands Overcome the fear to drop the last defence Speak forbidden words reach out beyond ourselves |
