Fall silent
02:07

Everything is still in hands of the dead
Everything is forgotten throught the catacombs of the dead
See the stairs that lead into obscurity
The habitats of decay
These are the halls of the dead
Where strange creatures built their nests
And big machines, one after one
Fall silent

Light, cascading through shattered gaps
And those who still matter are now crawling in the shadow
Like a present thread
They all were so eager to turn their heads
And trade water for apathy
So we’ll see these burning woods lost for another try
Ruined minds in a city of old keep blocking the way out
So we’ll keep on running, running, into a lie
No holding heads high
Eyes on the ground
Night falls on hope and despair
But we cannot blame this on an hourglass
Our time is all we got and it is fading
My sight on you is lost
And I can’t blame this on the looking-glass
So I’ll surrender in time
And in this new found freedom I lost you out of sight
Though all I had to do was to keep up with you
Breaking dawn brings change
While dusk brings us only fear
I thought I saw them at last
like shadows, on a promising path
This never was a promising path
I promised nothing
Night falls on hope and despair
But we cannot blame this on an hourglass
Our time is all we got and it is fading
My sight on you is lost
And I can’t blame this on the looking-glass
So I’ll surrender to the time that space demands
So we strife
Onward we push
And we relinquish our light
For all to see

Our existence is defined by loss and torment
We don’t care for nothing at all
All that’s worth the air we breathe, we cannot appreciate
Though we’ve been blessed with transcendence
We kill this coincidence
A choice to make for the sake of all we’d undo
And all that’s already undone
There’re billions of hints across every man’s sky
I fear they are blown to dust
As the light that shines stops to guide us all
And the path we choose can’t be seen at all
We will, too, be undone
We could be more than fullfilling a prophecy
Rather than stumble through history
It could be in five minutes
Or it could be in five thousand years
We yearn for even chaos to be a creation of our inadequateness
The tightest bonds are made of sorrow
The closest collective is one in anguish
As the light that shines stops to guide us all
And the path we choose can’t be seen at all
We will, too, be undone
Power over progress
As the light that shines stops to guide us all
And the path we chose is now torn apart,
We will soon be undone
We all stand in awe
Though we’re still separated
And all levees will break because we still separate
We all separate

All so cold
On the last day
A wave on the sea is the best hint that we can get
While a marine bone yard becomes our common grave
The thrashing that is dealt through all burdens that are rotting away
Will pave our path with the bodies of our...
(Our) So called reign will never end
All is buried under stars
We will prevail through the deaths of life’s elders and their kin
After all we keep killing our nightmares
We're all ripping and burning
Only to find causes to poison ourselves
We deserve everything of this
For abusing the foundations
All that is now upon us...
...I hope that we choke
I will praise this day as we fall away
Let us raise these floods to wash over us
For we failed long enough on our way
We should praise this day as we fall away
Let me drown to see
On the last day
A wave on the sea crushes all that remains of us
A marine boneyard is now our common grave
The thrashing that was dealt when all burdens had left our minds
Will pave our path with the bodies of our…
(Our) So called reign will never end
All is buried under stars
We will prevail through the deaths of life’s elders and their kin
Why let jaded currents alone with their cries?
Why?
For in the end this could all turn gold
I will praise this day as we fall away
Let us raise these floods to wash over us
For we failed long enough on our way
We should praise this day as we fall away
Let me drown to see what’s underneath

Faces and Shades
05:52
|

Will you open up?
Whoever you are, step outside of your chamber
In which you know of me
In which you know of everything
At last, in the end lies your true home
Whoever you may be
Seize the calm of the fall
This is a better way to do nothing at all
The weight of our words is never good enough
To be more than this penitence of a race
Who cares only for death and means nothing
To fear that we hang on to what we hold dear
Is like waging a war
To wage a war
Once we have all gone from each other’s ways
There is no way home or save spot left
Portions of love and compassion are lead astray
When faces turn to shades, turn to shades of grey
Open up, whoever you are
Step outside of your chamber
In which you know of everything
At last, in the end lies your true home
Whoever you may be
Seize the calm of the fall
This is a better way to do nothing at all
The weight of our words is never good enough
And means nothing
To fear that we hang on to what we hold dear
Is like waging a war
To wage a war
Once we have all gone from each other’s ways
There is no way home or save spot left
Portions of love and compassion are lead astray
When faces turn to shades, turn to shades of grey
Devotion is growing hard and is threatening us
Amongst blessed leeches and these illusive coward hearts
Devotion is growing hard and even is threatening us
Amongst blessed leeches and these illusive cowards
Wash away all we have always feared
What kept us struggling
Made us dither and self loathing
So break away from this power
That keeps deceiving eyes and minds alike
For we are about to stay left behind the heartless ones
I need you there to help me heal myself
Strip me of regrets, uncontrollable destiny
No lurking doom, no hunger or sickness
Take comfort in this deliverance
No fear at all
Nothing ahead, nothing behind
Just stillness

Through the Moloch
04:31
|
|||
The running has begun
So take the word and pass it on, but keep it rare
We hoped that someday soon the constant, late-night screams next door would finally stop
Now we have come to crawl through this moloch where our own next-door is everywhere
It’s in the dark, where we’re focused on necessities
And are reminded of the light
To carry on, to follow things that are bound to perish
We can’t go on
We can’t go on, this is the last time
Can we go on
Can we go on, is this the last time
Can we go on
Can we go on, is this the end
The shallow end is reached
And every cartridge has been dropped to the ground
Rusted by aeon’s rain
These billboards threat us at the end of this concrete border
And ahead along odd tors lies the winding path that once will end at this bleak sea
It’s in the dark, where we’re focused on necessities and are reminded of the light
To carry on, to follow things that are bound to perish
We can’t go on
We can’t go on, this is the last time
Can we go on
Can we go on, is this the last time
Can we go on
Can we go one, is this the end
We can’t go on
We can’t go on, this is the last time
The last time
The shore line’s breaking away
Shore lines, breaking away
A quiet and gentle sinking to the ground
To the black habitat of stones and crabs
To a place where the storms on the surface
Can no longer cause any harm
