1. Welcome To The Empire

Machines are rising, beyond belief
We switch off our thoughts
And we trust technology
We kill the nature, recklessly
Blindly agree to progress
Cause we cannot see

The veil is falling

Skull in gray
On a tray

Welcome to the empire
A life in the crossfire
We rule the world
But we won't stay united
Welcome to the empire
A life in the crossfire
We fool the world
Selfish tyrants losing control

We're still replacing the human race
Artificial intelligence
A creature with no face
The new solution, that we create
We're striving for improvement
Must we accept our fate?

The veil is falling

Skull in gray
On a tray

Welcome to the empire
A life in the crossfire
We rule the world
But we don't stay united
Welcome to the empire
A life in the crossfire
We fool the world
Selfish tyrants losing control

Welcome to the empire
We rule the world
Welcome to the empire
The veil is falling

2. Devour

All that glitters isn't gold
When the surface starts to fade
You can stack your treasures high
But your value can't be weighed

Always reaching higher goals
The essential left behind
Make up your mind

Devour
The claims increasing day by day
Devour
Addiction's forming our way
Devour
We're lying, to be satisfied
At last, we'll fall deep inside

You lead a low life at the top
If you live it all alone
You will fall if you don't stop
And you'll leave an empty throne

Always reaching higher goals
The essential left behind
Make up your mind

Devour
The claims increasing day by day
Devour
Addiction's forming our way
Devour
We're lying, to be satisfied
At last, we'll fall deep inside

The wilder you rise
The harder you fall

Devour
The claims increasing day by day
Devour
Addiction's forming our way
Devour
We're lying, to be satisfied
At last, we'll fall deep inside

3. Rising Fire

I've got to find the way
I'll live to see the day
No-one is gonna stop me now
You thought I wouldn't make it
You thought I couldn't take it
I don't need you to show me how

Rising fire
I will follow my heart's desire
I won't stay cause you crossed the wire
Leave it all behind and go higher
Feel the burn cause I'm on fire!

I'm on fire!

You say it's complicated
Over exaggerated
But you won't look me in the eye
Your ways are tedious
Your acts insidious
And this is where I draw the line

Rising fire
I will follow my heart's desire
I won't stay cause you crossed the wire
Leave it all behind and go higher
Feel the burn cause I'm on fire!

Rising fire
I will follow my heart's desire
I won't stay cause you crossed the wire
Leave it all behind and go higher
Feel the burn!

Rising fire
I will follow my heart's desire
I won't stay cause you crossed the wire
Leave it all behind and go higher
Feel the burn cause I'm on fire!

I'm on fire!

4. Break Away

Tired soldier going home
Where's the hope and where's the shame?
There's no longing anymore
The world doesn't want to be saved

What did you fight for? You'll never know
You're scared but you must carry on
What did you die for? A sacrifice
Defend the honor giving your own life

You gotta break away – you're on the run now
Break away – for peace of mind
Just break away – your final hour
Break away – to find peace of mind

Feeling distant from the world
Scenes of war inside your head
Days are getting grey and cold
Your sanity hangs by a thread

Distressing memories, a sudden grief
The nightmares creeping in, there's no relief
A scream of anger, tears you apart
The trauma lies within a soldier's heart

You gotta break away – you're on the run now
Break away – for peace of mind
Just break away – your final hour
Break away – to find peace of mind

You made a decision to save the world
But the world doesn't want to be saved
You stood in the line of fire, you gave it all
But now you are facing hell
You are facing hell

You gotta break away

You gotta break away – you're on the run now
Break away – for peace of mind
Just break away – your final hour
Break away – to find peace of mind

You gotta break away – you're on the run now
Break away – for peace of mind
Just break away – your final hour
Break away – to find peace of mind

5. Orbitual Sunrise

Mournful eyes, they want to survive
So many fates under this curtain of gold
Playground field now a war zone scene
They're not to blame, they didn't choose this way

Why do we always accept the decay
Where will we all be tomorrow?
How long will it take
Before we awake
If you could look at the earth just like me
Then we would all feel the sorrow
Open your eyes
Orbitual sunrise

Killings things, for the industries
We steal the air, nature will not forgive
Laws inflict, animals extinct
We are to blame, we turn the oceans grey

Why do we always accept the decay
Where will we all be tomorrow?
How long will it take
Before we awake
If you could look at the earth just like me
Then we would all feel the sorrow
Open your eyes
Orbitual sunrise

Why do we always accept the decay
Where will we all be tomorrow?
How long will it take
Before we awake
If you could look at the earth just like me
Then we would all feel the sorrow
Open your eyes
Orbitual sunrise
Orbitual sunrise

6. Longing To Know You

I still remember
When I look back to that day
I opened the letter
And it was hard to believe
That the path to the stars was my way

One in a million
Will have that feeling in life
Twisted emotions
This journey will change everything
But the price is so hard to pay

All these stars
Shine for you
Sending out my love
All the stars
Leading me through
I can't wait
I'm longing to know you

This is the moment
The world seems so far gone
I see you smiling
But it is still on a screen
Soon I will hold you, my son

I'm looking forward
To telling you all that I saw
Magical moments
I will not miss anything
On that day when we will meet

All these stars
Shine for you
Sending out my love
All the stars
Leading me through
I can't wait
I'm longing to know you
Longing to know you

All these stars
Shine for you
Sending out my love
All the stars
Leading me through
I can't wait

All these stars
Shine for you
Sending out my love
All the stars
Leading me through
I can't wait
I'm longing to know you

7. Perfect Stranger

One life to live, no backup plan
Too many risks, I know I can
Carry this to the finish line
No questions asked, don't waste my time
My future now I will define
I'm breaking all the rules tonight

I hear you calling out my name
Are you ready for the ride?
Are you ready to give in?

You love the thrill, I shoot to kill
You're more than just a perfect stranger
The cut runs deep, but it tastes so sweet
You're more than just a perfect stranger
To me...

The lightning strikes, beware the beast
The fire and fury now unleashed
His mighty roar will crack the sky
Don't play this game, you know me well
I walk alone, I've been through hell
Don't look at me for sympathy

I hear you calling out my name
Are you ready for the ride?
Are you ready to give in?

You love the thrill, I shoot to kill
You're more than just a perfect stranger
The cut runs deep, but it tastes so sweet
You're more than just a perfect stranger
To me...

I hear you calling out my name
Are you ready for the ride?
Are you ready to give in?

You love the thrill, I shoot to kill
You're more than just a perfect stranger
The cut runs deep, but it tastes so sweet
You're more than just a perfect stranger
To me...

8. Overdrive

We look into your faces
It's the magic only our hearts know
Though we rocked many places
You carried us through every show
Ohhh

We believe in the power that unites us
Driven by the pride, never-ending ride

We want it, we need it
No regrets at all
There's fire in your eyes
We want it, we need it
Tearing down the wall
We're shifting gear – overdrive

It's a walk on the wire
But the passion saves us from the fall
And the burning desire
For the glory, keeps us standing tall
Ohhh

We believe in the music that unites us
Driven by the pride, never-ending ride

We want it, we need it
No regrets at all
There's fire in your eyes
We want it, we need it
Tearing down the wall
We're shifting gear – overdrive

We believe in the power
Driven by the pride
We believe in the music
Never-ending ride
Overdrive

We want it, we need it
No regrets at all
There's fire in your eyes
We want it, we need it
Tearing down the wall
We're shifting gear

We want it, we need it
No regrets at all
There's fire in your eyes
We want it, we need it
Tearing down the wall
We're shifting gear – overdrive

9. All My Life

As long as I could remember
I've always had a dream
Weightless into the unknown
Like a laser beam

Rockets scribbled on paper
That's how all began
Fantasies of my childhood
Turned into a plan

Dream your day away
Cause I can say
Nothing's out of reach

All my life
I followed my own dreams
All my life
I'm reaching for the stars
In all my life
All my life

The path was not very easy
Many years have passed
But here I am and I'm drifting
It's a blast

Dream your day away
Cause I can say
Nothing's out of reach

All my life
I followed my own dreams
All my life
I'm reaching for the stars
In all my life
All my life

All my life
I followed my own dreams
All my life
I'm reaching for the stars
All my life
I never threw my dreams away
All my life
I'm reaching for the stars
In all my life

10. Space Cowboy

No one blocks my way
What a perfect day
Alone in seclusion
In the fast lane
I'm turning up the gain
Galactic infusion

Cause there's no limit
There's no stop sign
I am here on my own

I'm a space cowboy
On my ship made of steel
This is my highway
Yeah, that's how I feel

I don't see frontiers
Infinity appears
A star-covered ocean
What a magic sight
I'm cruising into the light
Thrilling emotions

Cause there's no limit
There's no stop sign
I am here on my own

I'm a space cowboy
On my ship made of steel
This is my highway
Yeah, that's how I feel

I'm a space cowboy
On my ship made of steel
This is my highway
Yeah, that's how I feel

I am riding, riding, riding, riding
Through the night
Yeah I'm riding, riding, riding
Just stars by my side

I'm a space cowboy
On my ship made of steel
This is my highway
Yeah, that's how I feel

I'm a space cowboy
On my ship made of steel
This is my highway
Yeah, that's how I feel

11. Kill The Pain

Another night, I can't remember
I lost my mind and couldn't find a way
To live my life as a contender
I never broke the rules, I'd just obey

This is like a never-ending ride
Many tears I cried into the night
I can see the devil in disguise

Save me now
Before I fall into pieces
Tell me how
To find a way to kill the pain

I know this feeling won't control me
There is a light breaking out of my soul
This emptiness I've left behind me
All we accept will slowly take a toll

This is like a never-ending ride
The grimace of despair is my guide
I can see the devil in disguise

Save me now
Before I fall into pieces
Tell me how
To find a way to kill the pain
Kill the pain

Save me now
Before I fall into pieces
Tell me how
To find a way
Save me now
Before I fall into pieces
Tell me how
To find a way to, find a way to
Kill the pain
