Too real to be a dream
The images still haunting me
I tell myself forget about it
Things aren't always what they seem

I wake to the thought of
Who we were; what we'd become
How easily will we succumb
To my vision of things to come?

Endless distractions are yours for the buying
It's easy for you if you're not the one dying
This life we are given must be good for something
Listen to me; I say war changes nothing
Endless destruction; I'm sick of the waiting
For humans to realize enough of the hating
This moment in time a mere drop in the ocean
With all history set into motion

Too late it has begun
I'm blinded by a million suns
All our prayers will not help us
Some things just can't be undone

Endless distractions are yours for the buying
It's easy for you if you're not the one dying
This life we are given must be good for something
Listen to me; I say war changes nothing
Endless destruction; I'm sick of the waiting
For humans to realize enough of the hating
This moment in time a mere drop in the ocean
With all history set into motion

War changes nothing

Against the wall, shadows fall
Nothing's left save our souls
Hell's here to stay, Heaven's moved away
Out of time, the blackened sky
Nothing's left and it's too late
To realize what we threw away

War changes nothing

My friend's the night
Your friends are all invited
I feel alive
I'm with a force almighty
So spend a while
Come on and tantalize me
I love to bite
'Cause love is in the biting

Taste a new kind of freedom
In your vein like a needle
Let me give you a reason
A life one only could dream of

Your friends are blind
They say it's all too frightening
I see two lovers
In the candlelighting
I will survive
'Cause sin has all the prizes
I sympathize
With those who crave the night life

I'm from a world beyond the grave
Where days are nights and nights are days
Where pain is pleasure, pleasure's pain
Where your love won't fade away

No, not today
Can't agree; why do we endure all this suffering?
When we're to blame
Comes to me so easily; life is the discovering

Gone out to sea; I swim alone
No life guard to save my soul
The waves high, the water cold
And where it ends I'll never know

There's too much fantasy; back to reality
It's such a waste of time just waiting for an answer
There is no escape from our mortality
See what you want to see; entropy's my only master

Now is the day
Everything you can see; time's a singularity
Go all the way
Don't believe what you see; there will be no stopping me

Gone out to sea; I swim alone
No life guard to save my soul
The waves high, the water cold
And where it ends I'll never know

There's too much fantasy; back to reality
It's such a waste of time just waiting for an answer
There is no escape from our mortality
See what you want to see; entropy's my only master

Entropy's my only master

There's too much fantasy; back to reality
It's such a waste of time just waiting for an answer
There is no escape from our mortality
See what you want to see; entropy's my only master

You never know
Life's river flow
Where does it start
Where does it go
My beating heart
My god is love
So beautiful
Can't get enough
No turning back
No letting go
My time has come
Has come at last
The sky is black
The moon is low
The final sign
You never know

Until it's over

So close
The warmth between us grows
The seeds are budding healthy
The color of wanting more
Your body now
What you are doing won't be forgotten
And without warning your wish comes true

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

I won't faint
I won't break
Stop your doubting now
And be your own true love
You're breaking down from your take on me
I lose all once you know
That other body won't see the morning
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you more

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

Watching
Waiting
Wanting
Needing

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

Fisful nightmare crying out loud
Screaming without making a sound
Up so high, afraid to look down
Never to return to the ground
Knowing you are trapped in a lie
At the very core of your life
Something that you cannot deny
Wanting but not willing to try

Empty shell with nothing to show
Floating free with nowhere to go
How long will it take you to know
That now you are truly alone
Shattered fragment, no longer whole
Tattered remnant, scrap of your soul
Lost and hopeless creature so blind
Looking at your life with closed eyes

Retrogradation - The self decline
Retrogradation - End of the line
Retrogradation - Cold as the night
Retrogradation - Out goes the light

How can this have happened
Now you're all alone

Who's going to know
If you make a difference
Don't make a sound
Then no one's sure to listen
If now's not the time
When will it be better
With this frame of mind
Change will take forever

If no one says a word
Then who's going to stop them
Do you not recall
We've seen this all before
Our hardest lesson learned
Too easily forgotten
How far will they go
We've got to tell them so

Forming from a sea of nothing
Turned into reality
All defined by our perception
We're our only enemy

Force fed lobotomy
Cultural sodomy
Erase your memory
In case you need some help to forget
Commence the brainwashing
First stage of the terror regime
You scream it's not a dream
Soon you'll wish that you were dead

You'll wish you were dead

Are you joking
Tell me something
Can't you see
It's not your country

Helpless majority
Ruthless minority
Deprive humanity
Of the means by which to subsist
Third world economy
Human commodities
Stripped of their sanctity
Alive but with no right to exist

No right to exist

Open your eyes
See the world
So terrifying
Now you know
Innocence and blood

Everyday we lose a freedom
One by one, we did not need them
Nothing ever lasts forever
When will people learn this, never

Empty mind lost colour blind
Faded time all that's left behind
Step into my point of view
Understand my attitude

I'm paralyzed
By your peril eyes

Why am I unsatisfied
Happiness is not a crime
Yesterday is not today
Must let go but never throw away

I need to be certain
Shall I feel no sorrow
How can there be a future
When there's no tomorrow

So close
The warmth between us grows
The seeds are budding healthy
The color of wanting more
Your body now
What you are doing won't be forgotten
And without warning your wish comes true

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

I won't faint
I won't break
Stop your doubting now
And be your own true love
You're breaking down from your take on me
I lose all once you know
That other body won't see the morning
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you more

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

Watching
Waiting
Wanting
Needing

Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching me

Too real to be a dream
The images still haunting me

Things aren't always what they seem

I wake to the thought of
