1. Loss Of Liberty

Dropped off in the middle of nowhere
Can't remember when I last cried
Loss of liberty enhances sensitivity
I feel manipulated now

So cold I cannot feel the hunger
My strife was taken away
It's strange, this weird sensation
Like I've been raped of my truth.

I was deprived of what used to be mine
Now I am left here alone

Do you remember me?
I was your friend
Do you remember me?
I was your twin

Dropped off in the middle of nowhere
Disoriented, fragile and numb
I can't remember anything
All I know is that I'm cold

I feel so manipulated
Like someone's been messing with my head
Here I go into my mind
To try to find out what was mine

I was deprived of what used to be mine
Now I am left here alone

Do you remember me?
I was your friend
Do you remember me?
I was your twin

2. Energy Taboo

In the hour of death
We talk about life
Isn't it strange we tend to wait til the end

We unravel the past
And withhold our pain
While we really should be talking fear

Fear of death
A thing so natural yet we act like it's taboo
Fear of death
You got to open up your mind

So taboo
Even in death you still speak
So taboo
Shut the fuck up when you're dead
So taboo
Back to be pure energy

Our life was so good
Everyone knew how much I loved you
Everything laid to waste today

It's so dark in here
Can't wait til I get out
The other side of grief seems far away

Smell of death
I guess you left the shell that used to be you
Scent of death
I got to open up the doors to the sun

So taboo
Even in death you still speak
So taboo
Shut the fuck up when you're dead
So taboo
Back to be pure energy

And I know it's true
Yeah I know it's true

Yeah I know, when I die, back to pure energy

3. Dig Deeper

On my voyage on an ocean of lies
The man killed the boy inside
Wading knee deep through the greed infested mud
Where lies become truth and truth becomes tales

What you see is not what it seems
I won't give up I'm setting sails
I'm still sure that truth prevails

We're on a trip towards our false fate
A social system built on hate
The family tree and circle of old
Got our lives in a chokehold

Never ever stay, go away
Never ever stay
Don't you stay too long, or you become me...

I wanna be your truthteller for a day
To control clear channel and say what I am
Storytellers feeding you by force
The sanctionedtruth is the main course

Secret play at the top of the nation
Born into a mass indoctrination
Medication through the media nation

Never ever stay, go away
Never ever stay
Don't you stay too long, or you become me...

Do the free really need to hide?
Reassurements of the constitution
"Our way of life kept safe from the world outside"
You inherit the prison of truth untold
You stay here inside 'til you're old

Take a good look around
On what you think is true
Would you sacrifice it all
To dig deeper?

4. Uncompassion

Follow your logic, don't follow your pride
Pride has destroyed so many lives
"I will not apologise, I wasn't wrong"
But two wrongs don't make me right, only what's left.

Hello, hello
I know you
Hello, hello
I am you
Instincts, feelings, gut wrenching stories
Sorrow, sadness, helplessness

Somehow you welcome the dark life approach
Misguided bastards the prodigal son
Embracing the sadness like it was a drug
Depraved of your will to forgive and forget

Hello, hello
I know you
Hello, hello
I am you
Instincts, feelings, gut wrenching stories
Sorrow, sadness, helplessness

5. Thirty Years

Bottom line has called me home
Hunt for truth corrupt the inside
Egoism my old friend
Time for us to break it up

Never, ever, no more letters
I've said no to everything
Fuck the truth, I don't care
Guess I need to clear the air
Backstabbers & asskissers
Take your business out of here
Shove the lies down your throat
You will swallow, you're a whore
Shove the lies down your throat
Thank you sir, thank you m'am

And I swear I feel cleansed
From the inside out
And I feel like I've scrubbed
My own filthy mouth
And I feel so much better now
And I feel so much more

When I was a young man
Thought that I could make a difference
Took me only 30 years
To understand the opposite

Never, ever, score is settled
I'll take my revenge tonight
Burn this place, to the ground
Goes around, comes around
What goes up must come down
Spread the word around the town
I have lost everything
Now I will repeat your sins
Steal from you everything
you hold dear, oh sweet revenge

6. Raiders Of The Lost Heart

Wading through waves of blood
Pummelling the faces that haunt me
In my dreams, as I try to run
Thicker than blood stinking like vomit

Dragging me downwards, into the deep
Counting the seconds and minutes
For years and years, I've had these dreams
Killing my sleep, fucking up my days

Cannot keep a job
Cannot keep a friend
Have to self medicate

Starting at the ceiling
Wondering what would have been
Without the haunting
Could it have been any different?

Same shit different night
Puddles of sweat in my bed
Chased by the monster again
It's getting weirder every day

Cannot stay alive
Cannot keep on going
Have to self medicate

Starting at the ceiling...

Chasing the rush everyday
Searching that high, high and low
Chasing the rush everyday
Raiders of the lost heart

Starting at the ceiling...
Chasing the rush everyday...

7. Blindfolds Off

International conflict
This constant lie of lies affects us all
Proven beyond doubt
The clown distorts the truth, to suit his ideals
But some of us can see
Propaganda machine
Which network shows what's real, and what's the deal
After any war
There are no winning teams, just broken dreams
But some of us can see
Through all the make believe
Estranging you and me

War!
Going out to war
This means war

No more peace signs
No more hippie shit
Led by convictions
Stronger than steel

Prisoners of war
It's really you and me, watching the TV screen
Missing in action
A mass of balderdash, insults your intellect
But some of us can see
Open your eyes
Don't let your prejudice affect your view
Cause some of us can see
We took our blindfolds off
And saw parents cry, their children killed for what?

We took our blindfolds off
And saw parents cry, their children killed for what?

War!
Going out to war
This means war

No more peace signs
No more hippie shit
Led by convictions
Stronger than steel

8. What Once Was

Now my time has come
I know I was wrong
Please stay

All my memories must stay
I have allready lost them once
Please stay

I wanna say so many things
But I don't have the strength to speak
I wanna say I'm sorry
For all the wrongs I've done

What once was is now nevermore
Yes I tried, tho you never saw me cry
Now I'm lost, sent to oblivion
Now I know, that the quest for truth killed love

For a long long time
I've been meaning to say, sorry
I was chasing the shadows
And the fault was entirely mine, sorry

What if I would've given up
Before they started making threats
Still the same shit going on
The same old clique are starting wars

What once was...

No more source to trust
No more love to lose
And as you read this words
My epitaph or curse
Boiling in these words
Bottom line in this
Under all this crap
Somewhere in these lines
History has proved
Internationally
Selfindulgency
And lies will rule this world
Nothing I can change
A simple fact like this
Zealots, fools and idiots will rule forever more

What once was...
When this world turned cold

9. Breakthru

Another year flew by me
Another silent night
So far from being sane
Hidden in amnesia

Seeing bits and pieces
Recognising some of them
But to get the big picture
I have to dig deep within

Within my heart
Deep in my soul
There is a void

Finding the key
Opening the lock
What will I find

Deep within my heart
I know, I know
Somewhere deep inside
I know, I know

The mere sight of you
Makes my heart pound harder
To assume I loved you
Is an understatement

The feelings are still here
It's the first thing I feel
Haven't felt this sure about
Anything in at least a year

My hear my soul
Every cell
Remembers you

Some things do last
Some things are past
Let's start anew
