You try to make sense out of the chaos you have spread And once again we'll shape our idols from the flames He'd love to make the world spin in reverse for a day But instead he will realize he should have forsaken We're going to spank your buttocks until you spit your venom The wolves are starving for bleacher flesh You nearly forgot how secured you feel when you're home But today you'll be dragged in the stream A widespread rumbling is getting louder, it's time to make them pay. Can you tell a story I don't know ? Tie me up and I swear I won't go As we give a fuck - we'll do as we give a fuck

Numa 04:24
There's no way to exhale this tension, it still lingers in my bones By any mean I wish I could let it out It speaks from inside And i'm afraid I can not get no sleep No I get no sleep at all It's been a laborious day trying so hard to contort But in the end I think I will let it go It's taking control I'm getting tired, It's still out of reach I get no sleep at all It speaks louder every hour of every evening and I keep forgetting - I don't, No, I get no sleep at all It's hiding on every curve of your slightest footprint, and I keep wondering - I know, It's growing in my room And when I rest my head, I can feel its hazy embrace I can swear I'm not alone, But I'm still on my own

The Wasted 06:18
Around us there is a world crawling to disaster Raise your heart for days to come Will we ever have the tomorrows of our days Will you let us freeze outside ? We're the wasted, the unreconciled, We are one and the same In silence we are bound and tangled by the waves And in silence we raise And the Shepherd watches sleepless The herd's got blind, but it’s heading somewhere And the Great Division has occurred, The Lighthouse is leading us nowhere I have turned into melting matter A storm might come, get onboard, Let's gather and pray We'll hit our chests Howling with the crimson owls, Seeds of Anger, Quiet murder in the snow, I would love to redeem your soul But there is something in my way Would you let us freeze outside your door We'd come back everyday We're the wasted - the unreconciled, We are one and the same In silence we are bound and tangled by the waves And in silence we raise

Somewhere along the shore There's somebody starring at Something inside the waves And nothing is living in his eyes It was only whispered and it's already smothered Nobody ever thought that we would go this far Mourning every Monday morning There's got to be a way Lift me to the highest I feel like I'm fading away Take me out of this mess Ocean, you'll carry my weight I'll wait for the harvest To come back and avenge myself It's not written in the books I have read It's not broken by these glorious waves I am not sorry for the hearts that I break Love still feeds on sorrow and pain

I used to worship the motions of dawn But when the signs got out of sight, I shattered into words It's colder than I thought, but I will carry on Even if I shared your values, I wouldn't kneel at your shrine At the end of the day I could be gone In my dreams I remember when I stood on the sun, I slept on the curve of her secrets I thought I would never stand this rhythm of silence From the bottom of your lungs. But I'm still here and years have passed, It moved all around, and what lies behind - I have seen you disappear, seen you disappear I have seen you disappear, I almost disappeared What's left to say, I guess I don't look good these days I could be wrong

La Mer 07:28
It's always the same, you told me so You told me to forget you, But you're never lovelier than when you're far away I shouldn't wait for you You told me so You told me to believe it is not over but how long now, How long now ? I'm not so many miles away from you What should I do I still love you And it drives me insane To look away If nothing happens I'll implode
7.
Homeland 02:59
For a century nothing really changed here, In the harbor. I miss you my homeland, I’ve been ignoring your call for too long. I miss the wind that heals And the everlasting ocean. Embrace me So that I don’t forget I’m alive. Meanwhile I'm stuck right there Staring at the ceiling Meanwhile I wait and I wonder Where has all the love gone ? Where has all the grace gone ?

Bridges 05:52
Someday and somehow, There's got to be an end to this era And how far do I see And how loud will it be Until the ashes whirl to the wind Let's act like we don't see we carry the world upon our shoulders Bridges are going to make us whole again This is your world, look at the window, We are wandering in circles, Over and over, Your reason shall tear us apart Let's act like we don't see we carry the world upon our shoulders Bridges are going to make us whole again This is your world, in motion, We are wandering in circles, Over and over, Your reason shall tear us apart

I was drowsy, foolish I was Hurt and weary, among the crowd After a very long walk I stumbled And I finally raised my eyes Will you save me from the Evil ? I'll always be grateful for what I once beheld On this precious day I witnessed the beauty of the road ahead I can recall myself And I apart Off my wounded body No pain nor fear I was caught by the hand And through the rain we both discerned a light But will you show me how it glitters I've been waiting for so long No way I could be wrong White shores never-ending, In the springs of love I bathed Now like all I will struggle in this middle place I will carry the knowledge And the secrets of the sun I shall walk and be patient; On the path that will lead me to silence

Stone Cold 05:06
Is it midnight; have I slept the whole day ? Is it yesterday or tomorrow ? I know these days are true, Though they look all the same And you promised I could save my soul And leave this stone cold town These stone cold faces Yes you promised me the springs of love But not this stone cold town These stone cold faces And the rumbling of whispers Long live the king of the broken machine We will get used to this inhuman living Now I turned my face from the sun, For lack of beauty I'll feed upon all your religions And we crave for a savior Someone who'll speak in the name of all meanwhile I .. Is it midnight; have I slept the whole day ? Is it yesterday or tomorrow ? I know these days are true, Though they look all the same And you promised I could save my soul And leave this stone cold town These stone cold faces Yes you promised me the springs of love But not this stone cold town These stone cold faces Stone Cold town with stone cold faces This Stone cold town with stone cold faces This Stone cold town with stone cold faces One day we’ll get to see…
