2.	Seven Kingdoms 05:54	lyrics	buy track
Seven planets in the sky Seven kingdoms one of a kind Seven kings, dark lords of death and life They spread sorrow in the universe No one can resist their reign Seven masters Seven plagues Seven kingdoms Seven stars Possessed by hatred for strangers They conquered many worlds They left a void behind them They fought with fire and sword And when their power was full They hid behind their own backs Seven masters Seven plagues Seven kingdoms Seven stars Tell your victims that the time has come And you’re going to burn the sky Tell them that you’ll give your life To see how their worlds will fall apart World rulers, so cruel Hidden in their chambers of doom Created a new order of eternal evil Take a look at seven kingdoms Embrace what cannot be grasped with the mind Seven masters Seven plagues Seven kingdoms Seven stars
3.	Mask of Madness 07:44	lyrics	buy track
Eternal frost and darkness In the world surrounded by fear Grand masters and their knowledge The eyes that saw the end Lost between monuments I miss my planet and home Thousands of years later I know there’s nowhere to go Put on a mask of madness Hide behind the wall of lies Maybe they won’t recognize you Maybe it’s your time The power of creation Of alternative reality The power of beliefs Will one day come true Don’t be afraid of their strength There is always some kind of way out Your wisdom against their power Rage takes you flying high Put on a mask of madness Hide behind the wall of lies Maybe they won’t recognize you Maybe it’s your time One day you’ll reach the point Where all you have is doubt Searching for lost feelings Shall guide you through your life Show no fear, look into the eyes that saw the end Drink from the source of knowledge Feel the power, dispell the dark Put on a mask of madness Hide behind the wall of lies Maybe they won’t not recognize you Maybe it’s your time
4.	Whisper 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Once more we’re meeting furtively Wearing nonchalant masks So no one would recognize us And I can hold you in my arms Hidden from the light of day Or the glow of a bloody moon Fingers crawl upon your body Senses ready to explode And I hear you whisper Words without a meaning And I hear your voice Gentle like a velvet touch I spend another lonely day Like a bird in a cage My thoughts are searching for a feeling That has never been told Candle starts to loose it’s shine Darkness devours the light I’m drowning in the depths of madness A lonely tear drops on the ground And I hear you whisper Somewhere far away And I hear you crying Let me heal your heart I’ve failed you one last time Everything lost its sense Indifference burns me worse than hell I’m slowly dying from the pain Fenced off by the wall of silence I try to find what I lost In this dark and deadly space I ask myself for the truth And I hear you whisper In a mirror hall And I want to touch you Like never before
5.	A New Kind of People 04:59	lyrics	buy track
Cities larger than continents An endless stream of concrete and steel We are divided like in „Metropolis” Only without children and old A new man, without feelings and desires Controlled like a puppet, forever young We’re side effect, mutated by the evolution Social engineering which created this world A new kind of people No life, no death A new kind of people No love, no hate Controlled by subliminal orders Throttled power of the mind Stifled in the aura of freedom Blind leading the blind Paradigm of happiness At the root of society Enforced by willpower Doomed for eternal damnation A new kind of people No life, no death A new kind of people No love, no hate Don’t be fooled by their weakness Their strength comes straight from hell Beware this sick system Which is controlled by hate And so for millions of years Like in a terrifying kaleidoscope This world is spinning And the time has stopped A new kind of people No life, no death A new kind of people No love, no hate
6.	Perfect System 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Another day is gone It’s hard to live in a perfect world No crimes, no pain Convenient lies day by day No one asks for truth And no one asks for meaning All we have and all we want Is peace of mind, why bother at all? Perfect system, perfect lies You’re cheating me, I’m cheating us Perfect system, perfect lies No more looking in our eyes Once you’ve asked about tomorrow You wanted to know how my day was Now we coexist like neighbours Only anger hasn’t changed Surrounded by falsity We are fooling each other Still we’re avoiding questions And hiding these answers Perfect system, perfect lies You’re cheating me, I’m cheating us Perfect system, perfect lies No more looking in our eyes Aren’t you tired? Don’t you wanna change? Can you still breathe With this stale air? Something ends somewhere And something begins We are stuck in a deadlock Unable to make a change Perfect system, perfect lies You’re cheating me, I’m cheating us Perfect system, perfect lies No more looking in our eyes
7.	Poor Man's Dream 08:27	lyrics	buy track
Perfect worlds with no scares Idyll of life with no love, just hidden hate Beautiful smiles with twisted words Insolent lies day by day Glass walls with greedy faces Will of life stolen by vain minds Blinded by meaningless projections Swallowed by avidity of time In the vastness of my dreams Transcendental eyes look at me That is just a poor man’s dream Poor man’s dream Treasures of soul gathered in one place Guarded to never see the light Use your magic, feel the power Open the doors unopened before Made for the purpose of destruction We were trained never to die They shall come when unexpected To kill all of your hope and pride In the vastness of my dreams Transcendental eyes look at me That is just a poor man’s dream Poor man’s dream Look at the world from a different angle Like a monk from a monastery in the clouds Open your mind to infinity Do not be afraid to die Like a sea without the water Or a desert without a sand Your life’s losing sense When you let your feelings die In the vastness of my dreams Transcendental eyes look at me That is just a poor man’s dream Poor man’s dream
8.	Philosopher 08:46	lyrics	buy track
Beyond the stars that you see in the sky Beyond the darkness and light Beyond our senses and might There are only our thoughts, ethereal like us We are building our world on visions of youth We want to conquer the stars Our dreams, greater than the shadows of the clouds Everything’s in me Just open my eyes and see The philosopher’s universe The old man with a walking stick Or the faceless god In silence sitting on a stone With closed eyes he’s watching the world He can reach beyond time Travel in space not moving a step He can explain what you cannot comprehend Everything’s in me Just open my eyes and see The philosopher universe Is it a single drop in the well? Or a one pollen in air? Is it only one star in the sky? Or a single light in a lonely house? Questions larger than life Yet with no meaning at all Ask to one that knows everything There’s no truth nor lies Everything’s in me Just open my eyes and see The philosopher’s universe Like a blind man I try to touch your arm Like a deaf man I try to hear your cry Like a lost child I try to find my time Like a fool I want to ask you why So tell me why do we have to die When we feel that time has not come Explain to me, do we exist? Or is it just a projection of god’s mind? Everything’s in me Just open my eyes and see The philosopher’s universe
9.	Conflict 05:34	lyrics	buy track
When you are facing a choice Which will turn the world upside down When you influence the course of events That will tear your world apart Some magical forces exist That you’re not always aware of The force that pushes you up To fulfill your desires and dreams You are facing a conflict That makes you kill your dreams You’re into the conflict Between your heart and will You hear the voices around you They tell you who to trust Nothing’s as it seems Your head’s ready to explode The compassion is misleading Strong will’s turning into dust Hallucinations taking over They are leading you into the past You are facing a conflict That conflict steals your pride You’re into the conflict Something shall die The decisions you have made They will kill some part of you The future is unknown The past is said and done And again you hear the voice This time inside your soul Stronger than your conviction Follow him and make the right choice You’re facing a conflict Locked in a cage You’re into the conflict Can’t stand this pain The enslaved mind will never see The light of freedom of the new age Close your eyes, look through the dark Destroy the world with a single touch
10.	Course for Annihilation 08:46	lyrics	buy track
Wrapped by infirmity and darkness We’ve crossed the threshold of doom Don’t look behind you just run It’s time to burn our paradise Maybe something will change And the sun will rise one more time Now you see that I’m trying To prolong the agony time Course for annihilation Time has come Course for self-destruction I don’t wanna die What if not all is unknown And destiny will fuck you up? What if I told you that one day You will cross the road from your past? But you decided to stay And to watch how your world dies Like a cloud drifting in the sky You cannot change what has to come Course for annihilation Time has come Course for self-destruction I don’t wanna die This world is way too perfect To be a real thing I’m trying to feel and touch you Were you ever real? And when the storm has gone We’ll never see the sun again Because the road we chose Is the road to emptiness Course for annihilation Time has come Course for self-destruction I don’t want to die Take my hand for the last time Before the time will end Listen to the falling rain We will never hear it again You recede into the night And I can’t do a thing But I do believe This is not the end

12.	Letter of a Dead Man 06:12	lyrics	buy track
Human, created from the clay of life Bent on self-annihilation Parted with the world in a disorder of thoughts Nostalgia in a dying heart Last letter From a dead man Last letter From the last man How do you know That your days are numbered? Can you sleep at night or face your past? You can’t forgive nor ask for absolution Your fate is sealed You’re left alone in time Last letter From a dead man Last letter From the last man In your darkest hour, with trembling hands You’re writing a confession of a dead man Regretting the things that you haven’t done And holding a grudge against the fate Last letter From a dead man Last letter From the last man Nothing but memories You’ll take to the other side Try to remember and hold What you have inside
13.	Depth of Existence 06:36	lyrics	buy track
Bathed in the fire of feelings Surrounded by fleeting love In the light of your laughter Or darkness of my soul A dream that comes true Born from the hope Feeding on desires Blinded by the sun A mystical journey goes on and on Feeding on desires, blinded by the sun Fall in the depths of existence So deep that nobody can reach The void of life’s filled with love Feel the comfort and warmth Watch out as you tread It’s so easy to make a mistake You can’t go wrong Watch out for thoughts Consternation and regret Time never goes back A river of dead feelings Flows at your feet Watch out for thoughts, and what words mean A river of dead feelings is flowing at your feet Fall in the depths of existence You will find a terrible truth Everything is becoming doubtful There’s more than your soul to lose Fancy frames with blank paintings Big words without meanings I’m falling down in a painful trance Wings burned by lies Planet of dead dreams Grown in the shade of love Touch and hold my hands They are nothing but cold Fall in the depths of existence You’ve been there before Look in the mirror of your soul There is no hope, no love
14.	Hide Your Dreams 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Always something Against our love Always troubles Can’t stand them all A new horizon A perfect day Rain stops falling I see your face Hide your dreams Tell me your sins Hide your dreams That no one can see Dancing in the moonlight I feel your breath I want it forever It never ends I run to forget Can’t figure out why It’s hard to believe Sleepless nights Hide your dreams Tell me your sins Hide your dreams That no one can see The light and the shade Are always there Never the night Unreal like us Your soul like mine Wants to steal some time Dream about dreams The time will come Hide your dreams Tell me your sins Hide your dreams That no one can see
15.	No Epitaphs 07:21	lyrics	buy track
Somewhere where there is no more light And the dull silence harmoniously plays Somewhere where there will never be us And our thoughts will never meet again They told us that at the end there is always a goal They claimed that life is just beginning of it all They taught us how to respect, love and live But forgot to add that all this doesn’t exist Don’t put tombstones on empty graves Eternal silence drifts around my head Impervious darkness surrounding hell No epitaphs, nothingness Maybe there’s a better world Simplier, without feelings, without hate Maybe somewhere else all would make sense? What is cruelty - eternal love or atrocious death? „In novissimis diebus occidere me” Free my soul, just let me go Promise that you will never wake me again May I never stand in your shade Don’t put tombstones on empty graves Eternal silence drifts around my head Impervious darkness surrounding hell No epitaphs, nothingness We will never find out what’s around the corner Or how another day would start and end We live our hopes for how much life after death is possible We all die to live, for eternity And when we’re gone - no one will ever ignite the light Not even a piece of paper will be left after us Forgotten, forever in the emptiness of life Like ghosts we will melt in the dark Don’t put tombstones on empty graves Eternal silence drifts around my head Impervious darkness, surrounding hell No epitaphs, nothingness One day you will look at your life like I do Search for the meaning, even if you don’t believe Don’t be afraid to dream, kill your fears Open your eyes, deceive your destiny
16.	Harmoniously Resonant 11:02	lyrics	buy track
Look into my eyes Open your mind Darkness surrounds us Nothing has changed Behind the walls of our own lies There is an Eden Somewhere in the stars You’ve never walked Alone just like me Taste how it is In a prison of your mind We’ll never see The rising sun The light of tomorrow Shines not for us If there is God Looking at us What does he think? Isn’t he blind? Look around - the cycle of life We are young and immortal Who wants to die? Don’t hurry me Let me look at my life Who is behind it? Truth is a lie Illusion of dreams As real as our lives Eternity calls me There is no end for time Harmoniously resonant Like shadows at night Like darkness and light Harmoniously resonant We are all blind The time has come Harmoniously resonant Like fire and ice Like planets in the sky Harmoniously resonant Forever and now Eternity can’t be killed by time
