11. Shame

I've been living so long in a very short time
Who knows my face, who knows my name
they are changing almost day by day
and all I've got comes down in shame

I'm getting closer slippin' to the darkest side
How soon the party's gonna end
I'm getting closer slidin' out of the day
fallin' faster with every coin I spend

Shame

The time is flying with growing sense of decay
and I keep telling myself it's okay
I've been drowning with booze and dirty women
found no salvation, my head keeps on swimming

I'm getting closer slippin' to the darkest side
The wreckage is already in sight
I'm getting closer slidin' out of the day
Somehow I gotta find more will to fight

Shame

Ooh, it's sucking me in
the more I fight, the more it grips
Ooh, it's sucking me in
the quicksand of razors claws and rips

12. Iron Stars

The earth shook and the mighty angels wept
the brooms of fire sadly swept
In a flash of light all we knew was lost
no one was left to bear the cost

Parasites were fed, weak hearts had bled,
mediocres were lost between
In the end they all screamed and burned
the faulty ones laughed and died unseen

The darkness rules the molten graves alone,
where millions of fools lived in sin
All those who bowed to the unholy throne,
were to see the skull beneath the grin

Torches from hell let out their deadly scream
The demons cracked the blue sky with flames
Riding trough flesh and steel on a laser beam
ridding the unborn of their names

Iron stars in their mindless courses
corpses blown by the void
Thunder rolled with heavenly horses
as they crashed and were destroyed

The earth shook and the mighty angels wept
the brooms of fire sadly swept

Iron stars...

Voices of those who had to die in vain
can be heard echoing through the night
A useless replay of their endless pain
never finding their way to the light

Iron stars...

13. Children Of The Grave

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the grave, yeah!

14. Guardian Angel

Angel watch over me
walking alone to the fall of night
Guardian angel help me to see
Angel be my guiding light

I know the meaning of shame
it makes you feel so broken and torn
I've seen it too many times
I know the face of scorn
I've been on search for truth
but it's never been easy to find
and it's always been so hard for me
to have an open mind

Sometimes you want to give away the blood of your heart.
Loss or gain?
How to be sure you don't sacrifice yourself in vain

Guardian angel watch over me
Pride leaves you walking alone to the fall of the night
Guardian angel help me to see
Angel be my guiding light

Is there a plave I must find?
A vision to make me understand?
There must be a way to keep
my dreams from drowning into sand
Facing the walls of my inner defence
do I believe, do I break or bend?
The secrets I've held from myself
are only means to an end

Should I open all the old wounds, risk the peace of my mind?
There's nothing else to be learned except the truth
love must be blind... angel

Sometimes you want to give away the blood of your heart.
Loss or gain?
How to be sure you don't sacrifice yourself in vain

Guardian angel...

4. Stigmata


1. Angels of pain

Full moon stares at me
from the ceiling
Shadows are sucking
at my breath

Mind mumbles
in its hibernated halfworld
Love and life grow cold
foretold of their death

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Wingbeat, heartbeat
the rhythms are alike
Loe one, flutter, stop
and down you go

The jar that holds
this God created spirit
breaks if you bring
its host too low

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

The sunken stare in their eyes
hollow and blind
Faces with no expression
always leering once behind

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

It's not the years
that wear you down
You grow old by
what they contain

If you choose to bleed
the last laugh is on you
Mocking you
to the oblivion
The angels of pain

Sometimes
I get compelled by the mirrors
To see the image
of what might have been

Hours turn to eons
I dare not to blink my eye
Haunted face of myself
is all that I've seen

The message brought home
is not gentle "father to son"
They throw the revelations
like bullts from a gun

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
Between me and you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain you'll fight in vain

They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
They will drive you insane
They'll never leave
the angels of pain

2. E.T.I

I see a burning streak
in the dark sky
The stars above are turning pale

A faceless messiah
beast from the outer space
TV-legions all hail

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

With faces proud
but the heart's grown small
We stand in shaky reception

Overloaded minds
trying to predefine
the moment of truth or deception

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

Will we be given an answer?
Does it know who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

The gods of billions
will share just one fate
Crushed down beneath
the new one's weight

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
by the light of this star

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

Shades In Glass

Do you know the feeling
Like your blood in your veins
Ceases its flow
You spirit floats in the night
Like the light less moon hanging low
Walk to the shore by the sea of dreams
And your heart would love to sail
You're building sand castles
Dangerously frail

Like shades in glass
Just shades in glass

The wind is cold out there
But it carries your thoughts
Like a long lost friend
You were afraid to embrace
But you were glad in the end
Open you arms to the sky
Your flesh won't ever leave the ground
Small pleasures, enlightenment
May still be found

They're shades in glass
Just shades in glass

Still heartbroken
Still blinded by tears
Don't walk away after
All those bitter years
You read the pages you wrote
For yourself long time ago
And it seems it was someone else
You only used to know

Shades in glass
Just shades in glass
They're shades in glass
Just shades in glass
They're shades in glass
Shades in glass

As One

This world I see
perception of essential me
It turns wit time
of its own

The will stays strong
to walk the right
to correct the wrong
Collect and learn
what can be known

Mirage of wonder
grow into me
They'll give me
a stronger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

The earthern sand
the stars shine
from the palm of my hand
A breach of the solitude
where I stand

The light of the souls
almost reaching me
Will it give me
a stranger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

As one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
The stars in the palm
of my hand
I'd see you
if we could be as one

State Of Grace

I see the hill
scattered to horizons
They've haunted my dreams
for a long time

The bones of ancestors
lay unrestful
They're calling me
to their shrine

And I struggle
With the season before the snow
The ground is hard with ice
the road beckons, I'll follow

Home must be left
to know the longing
The toes will grow numb
from the frost

I used to know
where I was heading for
Somewhere, somehow
it just got lost

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
Wheels of fire wild at play
spinning, ascending

To learn that there's more than
just to live and die
Some love would be sweet
before the final ending

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
The pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
To know there's more
than just to live and die

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

To the state of grace
To the state of grace

Race The Light

The orbital angels are gliding
Their messages confused
The new age is out from hiding
The holy grail won't be refused

The years have grown to the mountains
They'll have wings before long
The voices of the small are drowned now
By distant sons and their song

All the great schemes and dreams
They're fused into one
Blow my mind or feed my head
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now

The black void is filled with white noise
The downpour of the hardest rain
Swam under the dwindling ozone
As the blue whales are dealt cocaine

Between the rising skylines
There's hope for a new dawn
The earth's spin will be reversed soon
The saints will yield to the devil's spawn

The sword of their heaven
Might strike and spoil their fun
Let's hope its on Mars instead
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light
I will now

All the great schemes and dreams
They're fused into one
Blow my mind or feed my head
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light
