1.	Ghost In The Machine 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Connected to this network, machinery of lies Social life's a tiny spot way down the line Now you´re living your life through the empty glaring glass Human Feelings and circuitry, now entwined Losing the awareness of an outside world Lurking in the shade of a lonely light bulb Your soul has become a ghost in the machine Emotionless, floating facedown On a TV screen, calculating infinity Synapse powered off by a switch There is nothing left of your former self, Your human nature has been taken By the time you waste without any affection It is time to disconnect this ghost in the machine You´re just one interaction away from the disaster Break this unhealthy bound, cut loose off your master Now you´re living your life through the empty glaring glass Human feelings and circuitry, now entwined Losing the awareness of and outside world Lurking in the shade... Emotionless, floating facedown On a TV screen, calculating infinity Synapse powered off by a switch Flick the switch
2.	Pyro-Technics 04:32	lyrics	buy track
False morality on a TV screen Brainwashed society living on it´s knees Fake authority teach us how to be What to believe, what we can see Truth lies deep beneath People gathering, laws forbid what´s free Actions speak louder than words so step off your routine Streets philosophy, taught me how to be What to believe, so now I see Truth lies deep beneath Claim your right to live, or step aside and let us be Part of the disease... Through harder times we´ve survived No propaganda, nothing will change our minds Dig your own grave, your own words will bring you down Trying to find salvation we run towards extinction Look at your creation one last time before the truth be told Before the truth be told Claim your right to live, or step aside and let us be Part of the disease to end with your demon-cracy Burn it down to the shreds, our pyro-technics lead the way Be part of the disease, or step aside and let us be Let us
3.	Into The Void 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Lost and forsaken, your world has turned black No money, nor beauty, nothing but regret Repent all those moments that´ll never come back You burnt all your pages, this is what you get Since long ago you´ve been trying to grow up, Those early mistakes didn´t mature your heart Leaving you a life where you´ve lost the right path Wrong choices you made lay now in the past There´s no taking them back, You wasted your luck Luck Sinking, down below Fell from this world, nothing fulfills your greed You sucked dry your life, now you choke on that seed The seed of greed, wanted to know everything Reality, universe's much too big to see So you´re sinking, down below Now that you´ve carved your own fate in the stone You´re still young and lost, sense you made none Noone will listen a word you will say Annoyed by your wisdom, the price you will pay Lost and forsaken, your world has turned black Your money, your beauty, nothing but regret Leaving you a life where you´ve lost the right path Wrong choices you made lay now in the past Noone will liste a word you will say Annoyed by your wisdom, the price you will pay Erase those memories, paint them black Into these void you´re now far gone
4.	Soulburn 05:58	lyrics	buy track
I can´t believe my eyes, You´ve got everything you want, still you complain Your persecution complex, Has made everyone around you slowly go away Hidden in your hard shell, Much too long your head´s been stuck inside Never realize That this life is not about you, This isn´t your stage, we´re not your actors We all make mistakes, we all do fuck ups But "we" is a word you don´t understand at all REF: "You think you already know everything But the best way to learn sometimes is admitting that you´re wrong For once in your life be aware of the world Or soon you will be thrown to the point of no return" Down in a hole Emotions are gone Finally you´re left alone Now you can stop pretending This isn´t your stage, we´re not your actors We all make mistakes, you´re no exception Stop burning our souls with your objections [REF] Stop pretending, feel the soulburn
5.	Face-Pounder 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Your personal quest is to make my life hell, Your train of words carries on with no brakes You don´t seem to get a simple clue Everyone around you just loathes you Bluffing around, your everyday treat Looking for some souls to corrupt with your shit Maybe someday you will get out of yourself And see that the world doesn´t exist by your days Deep inside you should know, nobody's listening to you You´re feeding on your own illusion, the higher you are the further you fall Still you keep on making lives hell, The price you pay will eventually be erased As your lies pierce through our brains We just want to pound your face REF: "Then comes the calm, the one before the storm I make no sound, nor a move nor frown Your feelings are gone, you´re left on your own Like a wounded phoenix, that slowly will Burn" As your lies pierce through our brains We just want to pound your face [REF]
6.	Me Against Me 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Fix me now, put an ending to this craving, longin and waiting Fix me now, soothe my mind with your magic spell Show me now, my thoughts are crystal clear Show me now, the fabric of life is now revealed Roaming free, no frontiers Flying high, then it stops And then the need hits harder than before Now I´m in, and lost control Try to hold the reins, don´t back down Before you lose your mind in this vicious circle REF: "I keep fooling myself saying that I´m strong enough To get rid of this insanity that clouds my mind" Fix me not, no more craving nor waiting Fix me not, facedown and pushing through Save me now, not sure I can do this alone Save me now, decisions and choices my mind is going to explode Try to hold the reins, don´t back down Before you lose your mind in this vicious circle [REF]
7.	Artifacts Of Chaos 04:42	lyrics	buy track
Tainting this world, plotting to gain complete control Governments are set by their infiltrated minds The voice of the people is muted by their media mind control Rebelling it´s futile, if people doesn´t know the truth Artifacts of chaos, we are puppets in the hands of new gods Manipulate society, to make us believe that we are safe Capitalism is the tool to enslave mankind without a single clue People just work and spend, no concern for the mother nature True power resides in those who know how to exploit Earth So they keep us occupied while they suck dry our own world Artifacts of chaos, we are puppets in the hands of new gods Manipulate society, to make us believe that we are safe Artifacts of chaos We´re born to be those artifacts of chaos We´re born to be those fucking slaves Trapped in this world That are destined to be exploited, manipulated Puppets in the hands of new gods Come and fight dont go away (resist now) Remember that we are deffending our homes (kill em all) Increase your bloodthirst and your hate (resist now) Take all your courage and die (resist now) Beat them with rage!!! Rage!!! Die!!! Artifacts of chaos, we're puppets in the hands of new gods Manipulate society to make us believe that we are safe Now the hour's upon us, we will have to choose a side Fight and die with honor, or surrender just to become an Artifact
8.	Not In Our Name 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Deception in your eyes, pain in our cries Manipulate, deceive us with your lies From time to time you´ve been the ones to talk We´ve had enough your time has come REF: "Descending from your throne We won´t heed your call Brainwashed, no more We´ll get rid of your godlike control We won´t follow" They think they can keep controlling us Freedom is what they will never grant Do what you will, we won´t follow you This time we´ll say "not in our name" Not in our name Corruption, deception Your power's been built on Don´t look for redemption Now we won´t back you up We won´t back you up Defeat in your eyes, there´ll be no more cries You have been erased, left no trace Without your control your reign has come to a close Give up all hope, prepare to be [REF]
9.	Energize 03:49	lyrics	buy track
I can feel you, your vibrations all around, embracing me Something inside of me, feel released when you´re with me Braincells reacting, to your beats, your timing's exquisite I feel recharged, when I hear you through the stereo Blow my speakers! Pure adrenaline rush Blow me away! Every single detail, is analyzed, senses multiply I´m far gone, on your arms, with your sweet lullaby This is my power source, my energy Linked with your frequencies Hypnotized by your melodies Entangled with me Each note weaves your thread of perfect symmetry, Mathematically led This is my power source, my energy Linked with your frequencies Hypnotized by your melodies I´ll always be where you want me to be

4, 3, 2, 1 Humankind has lost it´s humanity 3rd world war is coming around the bend Money spent on military sources As famine tears down the one's once feed REF: "Time won't heal us this time World is going down, nations are colliding This timebomb is wired, left just one adjustment Created by our hatred, machinery of disaster 4, 3, 2, 1 Bank-ruled Government, money made you slaves Who made you God to say what is best for human race You mortgage our existence just so we can have a life Money will be nothing once society is gone The countdown to extinction has begun 4, 3, 2, 1, Push the button [REF] Push the button [REF] Push the button
11.	Breaking Through 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Drowning in my own sea of selfish lies Conscience' screaming out pleading for a change Change, turn round the rules Make lies be truth, remember the path is what you choose Get out of yourself, out or your shell Surrounded by lies, you´re breaking through Trying to speak all these words I cannot say When all that´s around doesn´t seem to fit Living afraid, of what will be coming next Close my eyes and drift away, waiting for a change Change, turn round the rules Make lies be truth, remember the path is what you choose Get out of yourself, out or your shell Surrounded by lies, you´re breaking through Trying to speak all these words I cannot say When all that´s around doesn´t seem to fit Mental overload, breaking through it With these words it will be begin
12.	Astral Projection 05:44	lyrics	buy track
Have you ever felt like there's something more? A hidden meaning, some higher beings, that we´re not alone Tossing and turning my mind wants to soar To be projected to another world As I drift off slowly closing my eyes My mind is thrown far away, at the speed of light Sailing through the infinity of space, dancing around the stars The Milky Way is just a tiny spot left behind in this eternal night Dead planets floating next to me, I´ve seen the stars shine off A million years ago Frozen creatures lying in the cold, Archetypical Gods One day they´ll rise to conquer us all This coldness soothes any pain while I float obliviously The vision starts to fade, suddenly I feel taken away (The trip back home) When I wake up I´m all soaked in sweat Was it just a hot night or was it the effort? Dazed and confused real life' still entwined My mind is filled with memories, I don´t clearly understand Reminescences of Dead planets floating next to me, I´ve seen the stars shine off A million years ago Frozen creatures lying in the cold, Archetypical Gods One day they´ll rise to conquer us all Conquer us all
