De/Vision - Citybeats (2018)

In the still of the night
I'm wide awake watching the sky
The stars passing by
And it never feels like a waste of time
In the still of the night
I move in unpredictable ways
Watching my soul fly away
Knowing it won't return 'til the break of day

When there's no one around
Endless darkness has drowned
The deafening sound
Of the bustling town
When all egos are fed
And put safely to bed
When the world looks like it's dead
The sun shines on my hеad

Try to catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Try to catch me if you can
Catch mе all night long
Try to catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Try to catch me if you can 'til the break of day

In the still of the night
I'm wide awake watching the sky
The stars passing by
And it never feels like a waste of time
In the still of the night
I'm sitting there searching my soul
Wishing we'd know our role
Insignificant in the greater whole

Under cover of night
I feel untamed and wild
Like a neglected child
An animal inside
When there's quiet and peace
Mother earth gently weeps
Longing for release
From the human disease

Try to catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Try to catch me if you can
Catch me all night long
Try to catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Try to catch me if you can 'til the break of day
In the still of the night

Why so sad my dear?
Night has come
All we need to fear is the morning sun

Come on, we're going for a ride
Heaven knows what pleasures we might find
Deep inside your mind
Just hold on tight and don't let go
Head over heels into the unknown
Lord, I'm coming home

We own the night
In the dark we come alive
To feast on joys of paradise
Our hunger for life
Wouldn't even be satisfied
If we outlived the end of time
We own the night

Are you prepared to lose control?
Unite your body, mind and soul
To become whole
We're driving down a one way track
We seek the treasures that lie ahead
There's no turning back

We own the night
In the dark we come alive
To feast on joys of paradise
Our hunger for life
Wouldn't even be satisfied
If we outlived the end of time
We own the night

The world that we were after
Is nowhere near
Where pets attack their masters
Breaking their chains of fear
I guess that I've shown little
Spirit myself
The natural enemy of people
Are people themselves

If we go down we go down in grand style
Let's dress up for the carnival
There's no escape while the gods we created
Are raging beyond control
If we go down we go down in grand style
Let's dress up for the funeral
Unless we confess that our minds are possessed
There's no way to regain control

Here comes the new messiah
Chronically ill
Instead of taking me higher
He gives me a chill
One thing I know for certain
He's gonna fall
Watch him stumble beneath the burden
Of saving us all

If we go down we go down in grand style
Let's dress up for the carnival
There's no escape while the gods we created
Are raging beyond control
If we go down we go down in grand style
Let's dress up for the funeral
Unless we confess that our minds are possessed
There's no way to regain control

Why would I ever surrender
I know that I'm not alone
No matter what I believe in
I have the right to be wrong

I'm sick of your dark sense of mission
Have you lost your mind on the way
You're welcome to share my opinion
But don't tell me what to say (tell me what to say)

How long can we breathe underwater
Don't want to give it a try
Everything we took for granted
Got lost in less than no time

You never cease to amaze me
Say how much more can you take
No darkness if nothing happens
When there is so much at stake (so much at stake)

Guided by their sense of mission
They tried to shut us up
They won't be victorious
They won't silence us

People all across the nation
All across the world
Get all up and raise your voices
And you will be heard

Guided by their sense of mission
They tried to shut us up
They won't be victorious
They won't silence us

People all across the nation
All across the world
People all across the nation
All across the world

Do we have a choice whom we love, whom we hate?
Do we follow on to a predetermined fate?
Can we make a change in the course of events
Or are we nothing more than non-participants?

It's just not in my nature
To submit to some creator
And be a child to this will
I'm made for something greater
I can't believe in a made-up maker
All I believe in is myself

Learn to stand up straight and walk tall
Beforе you bend down on your knees
Save yourself 'causе no one else
Will save you from this living hell

It's pretty crazy
When you think about it
We could be the stars
Of a weird divine script
Tell me, baby, do you think we met by chance
Or is this love some kind of heaven-made romance?

It's just not in my nature
To submit to some creator
And be a child to this will
I'm made for something greater
I can't believe in a made-up maker
All I believe in is myself

Learn to stand up straight and walk tall
Before you bend down on your knees
Save yourself 'cause no one else
Will save you from this living hell

Travelled the world
Dead keen on finding
A ray of hope
In the dark night
Roamed galaxies
Tore my heart open
Never gave up
The quest for light

You caught my eye
You caught my eye

Because you are
The brightest star
That I have ever seen
I'll never tire
Of your fire
And your brilliant glow
Oh yes, you are
The brightest star
Throughout the universe
I can't conceal
The joy I feel
Herе in your presence

Explorеd the depths
Of my unconscious
The chasms of
My wretched soul
I nearly drowned
In unknown waters
Yet what I'd found
Was black as coal

You opened my eyes
You opened my eyes

Because you are
The brightest star
That I have ever seen
I'll never tire
Of your fire
And your brilliant glow
Oh yes, you are
The brightest star
Throughout the universe
I can't conceal
The joy I feel
Here in your presence

I'm blind
I'm blind

Duck your head and run for cover
We are born to hate each other
Everywhere I look there's blood and thunder
Say your prayers, we're in need of a wonder
People running for dear life
Struggling, trying to stay alive
I'm not talking 'bout the middle east, you retard
This is happening right here in our backyard

Under fire
Under heavy fire

Hurting from a lack of vision
All convinced of their holy mission
Man's ingenuity knows no limit
There's no escape from a thousand rounds per minute
Watching every step we take
Every single move we make
We all need a place where we feel safe and sound
But a safe haven is nowhere to be found

Under fire
Under heavy fire

Come on, wake up
You gotta get up
Dawn is near
Get a move on
Time to take on
Your dull routine
And you realize
That throughout your life
You will always be
Just a small cog in
A big wheel
However hard you try
How much you sacrifice
You're not meant to ride
In a limousine
No big deal

What about you?
You had dreams too
A long time ago
Where did they go?
Out the window
I suppose
And you realize
That throughout your life
You will always be
Just a small cog in
A big wheel
However hard you try
How much you sacrifice
You are meant to be
Fed to the machine
No big deal

You know you'rе just a pawn in the game
Nobody will remеmber your name
Every day is more of the same
Sometimes you can't remember your name

You are a slave
In the temple of blissful ignorance
You know your place
Never causing any inconvenience

You're saving face
Whatever be the consequence
I chose disgrace
There's no honor in blind obedience

Gimme strength to raise a storm
And shake the world down to its core
Face the enemy fearlessly
We're legion and we won't be ignored

A storm is rising
Are you well prepared?
A storm is rising
I'll be there
A storm is rising
We will stand or fall
A storm is rising
It will take us all

Every single day I lose myself in days gone by
Every time I'm leaving I try to hide the feeling
That this could be our last good-bye
Every now and then I wish that I could just rewind
And fix all my broken memories
Replay forgotten melodies
Every tune that slipped my mind

How would I know
If this is real
Or if it's just a dream?

Bye bye bye
A brief moment is all we have
Before our bones are laid to rest
Bye bye bye
This briеf moment was all we had
Too many things remainеd unsaid

How would I know
If this is real
Or if it's just a dream?

Bye bye bye
A brief moment is all we have
Before our bones are laid to rest
Bye bye bye
These memories are all I have
I'll always miss the times we had
