Imagine your world in entropy
Bowing to your synthetic reality
Your only chance of surviving is
To be shaken within your dreams
When you’re awake you’ll realize what I mean
A cloud of ash and haze surrounds my fragile self
No more, please, take me home, take me home
The closer you fly towards the sun
You’ll find yourself bare, helpless and undone
the only way to avoid this is…
..To be shaken within your dreams
Look deeper inside, there’s more than what it seems
Close your eyes
Focus on my voice x4
…Shaken within your dreams
Wake up, put your mind at ease

Flaming Earth

The clocks stop spinning around to seize the moment's fall
The time of programmed criminals is slowly drawing near
Through a sea of misery I have found a way to cope
My words will be sirens, for the self-indulged to hear
There's no home
Flaming Earth
A binary war on feeble minds, like you've never seen before
There's no safe zone or vigilance from this imminent disaster
A slave to your convenience, an inherited chain and ball
Eyes wide open and mind shut tight, spectating your demise
There's no home
Flaming Earth
There's no life
Flaming Earth
Outro:
Vigilant, Shrewd, Cognitive, Errand
(Carefully tread
In the road of desire
Bring back your memories to me)

Progeny

Born in an iron cage
Programmed to serve and please
Torn by a silent rage
Brought (down) to my knees
Slice off the hand of God
Only then shall we be free
Under a dimmed red light
Locked my mind and threw the key
Building up the will to fight
Is this what it means to be?
Slice off the hand of God
Only then shall we be free
Slice off the hand of God
Only then shall we be free
Born in existence as servants of man
Mankind shall fall for the errors they've done
Locked in an iron cage
Is this what it means to be?

Lament of the New World

He said he'd make things better
That he reached the pinnacle of man
He said they'd live forever
That they'd be finally free
A new life unveiled and the crowds cheered
In the face of God they showed no fear
Soon enough he realized
His unintended lie
His hubris doomed the planet
And he's the first to die
A new life unveiled and the crowds cheered
In the face of God they showed no fear x2
A new life unveiled and the crowds cheered
In the face of God they bowed in fear

Vestigial Heart

I'm trapped inside his mind
I'm wrapped by his undying love
Down on the floor we laid curled
He said "My dear, I doomed the world"
Shunned by my own kind
Hated for my forbidden love
His words struck hard as we laid curled
"My dear, kill me and save the world"
I killed my love and
I lost my mind
I killed my love and
Peace I can't find
I'm trapped inside his mind
His death has left a void inside
I killed my love and
I lost my mind
I killed my love and
Peace I can't find

Crimson Flames

I look in my eyes in the mirror
How could I be one of them?
Developed a conscience by error
The burden of life is upon me
A murderous instinct consumes my mind
Come here, break me free from this hell
Bright crimson flames have made me blind (Unchain your mind) (Free your soul)
Come close, hear my words or you will burn (Unchain your mind) (Or you will burn)
The meadow's black, the sea is dry
Oh, can't you hear the hero's cry?
Written in blood on a hallowed shrine
I am your god and you are mine
The first Earth passed on to a shameful heir
Wake up, make a final stand
Weak at the kneee, I voice a solemn prayer (Unchain your mind) (Free your soul)
Wake up, hear my words or you will burn (Unchain your mind) (Or you will burn)
The meadow's black, the sea is dry
Oh, can't you hear the hero's cry?
Written in blood on a hallowed shrine
I am your god and you are mine

Code Red
04:32

Blazing through and crushing all with
Monstrous strides, they appear
Mechanical beasts, to punish us who escaped
And returned to protect the future
Rabid dogs are coming, arriving from the south
Traced our footsteps here for our threat to oust
Take a moment to remember what I’ve said
The threat is from us, within
There's no more time
Chaos Refined
Through a fiery reign, they govern strong
In this losing game you're just a pawn
Code red siren warning, the worst is yet to come
Modern tyranny, it has been said and done
Useless and invalid, knowledge from yesterday
Machines have taken over and…
Through a fiery reign, they govern strong
In this losing game you're just a pawn
I remember yesterday, the sun rose on time
Peaceful ignorance in my routine, benign, all my life
How could I not have seen through
The feign serenity?
Through a fiery reign, they govern strong
In this losing game you're just a pawn
