1. Steam Paves Its Way (The Machine)

Fire boiling water
Pressure in a vessel

Steam paves its way, the machine
Once it shakes
It proceeds like a tambourine
Pressurized, this pile
Explodes once in a while
Lift what a thousands can't shift
The times are out of joint
In new ages we drift
We re armed, we re headfirst

Burst into flames
By fire rearranged

Gasping tons of metal
Moaning while they move

Steam paves its way, the machine
Once it shakes
It proceeds like a tambourine
Pressurized, this pile
Explodes once in a while
Lift what a thousands can't shift
The times are out of joint
In new ages we drift
We re armed, we re headfirst
Scientific thirst
We re armed, we re head first

Burst into flames
By fire rearranged

Machinery competes against man
A dirge for those who can

2. A Love Once New Has Now Grown Old

Man! O man take care!
What does the deep midnight declare?
I was asleep
From a deep dream I woke and swear!
Like a religion that had failed
A blinded mission we once hailed
It only makes us stronger

The times
That we all hoped would last
Like a bird flew by, so fast
We've been told
A love once new has now grown old

The final reward of the dead
To die no more, is what he said
And complemented: god is dead!
The only christian died on (the) cross
But ancient wisdom: that which does
Not kill us makes us stronger!

That we all hoped would last
Like a bird flew by, so fast
We've been told
A love once new has now grown old

3. This Won't Last Forever

Hopeless this morning
Receiving no sun in these days
I can t remember the last time
Above those sea's waves

That a monster exists
Said french scientist
In warning to all the world!
With a courageously
Dauntless harpoonist
And his butler
Who backed up as third

They travelled the seas
To get hold of the beast
When one night
Their fat was deserved
An impact ship's crunch
Somethings wrong
Just a hunch?
On the back on the beast
They got hurled

This will take another breath
My friend (but)
This won't last forever
This will take another try
This will take another grace
My friend (but)
This won't last forever
This will take some time
Hopeless this morning
Receiving no sun in these days
I can t remember the last time
Above those sea's waves

Inside a metal construct
Steam –engine driven sub
Built by the hand of man
A captain, his crew
In a vessel full of dew
Below the surface of water
They swam
Lived their lives
Far apart civilized "a la carte"
Desire for revenge was their plan
Too much grief about the past
There s a will to last
To abolish all they can

20 thousand leagues, 20 thousand leagues, 20 thousand leagues
Under the sea

This will take another breath
My friend (but)
This won't last forever
This will take another try
This will take another breath
My friend (but)
This won't last forever
This will take some time

4. The Best Is Yet To Come

Early morning
Cold, golden day
That night was thrilling
As I'm on my way

My eyes are burning
Where's she from?
And without fail, the
Best is yet to come

5. Lifeless

We re lifeless it's so real
Seems so fake but we can feel
Lifeless it's so real

When the coffins
Were unearthed from soil
And all grief, and all woe
Has no place left to boil
That's when the land was overrun
By plants and factory scenes
And all the crafts got dry cleaned

A shadow once nobody owned
Now industrialists wear
The serfage's crown
While the gear wheels won't hold
Not a second a day
And sunlight just can't find a way

We re lifeless it's so real
Seems so fake but we can feel
Lifeless it's so real

All the farmhands
Turned to work machines
Maximizing revenues
On a scale so obscene
Flocks of humans its insane
Like the moth and the flame
Our new society's war game

In god they trust
But all others pay cash
Kids of seven years
Contribute to success
Competition brings out
The best in profit
And the worst in people
That's not what we consider equal

We re lifeless it's so real
Seems so fake but we can feel
Lifeless it's so real

6. The Swan King

Uncharmed crowned by just 18
Richard Wagner's patron was caring
Muse stuck in his heart of hearths
Thus he spent some reputation for his arts

I know credit belongs to him
For new swan stone
The rinegold and the ring cycle
Technics, humanity
Dislike large public
Without losing popularity

Art, opus, architecture
The life, the living
The death of the swan king

Declined any war in general
It was two times
He had to compromise
Approval to the German Reich
His late behaviour
Led to be declared insane

Deposition and custody
While the last walk
The king met his mysterious death
And Dr gudden4s
And in remembrance
The cross, the wooden, was set

Art, opus, architecture
The life, the living
The death of the swan king

7. Flesh And Hair

Let me spare the rod
And spoil the child
Sear me, so help me god
I forced a smile

Who doesn't know slovenly peter
The dreadful story of matches
Consumed is all (so) sweet and fair
The total child (both) flesh and hair

Flesh and hair
Consumed is all so sweet and fair
Flesh and hair!

How could we let the parent know?
And mintz and mountz sit sighing
With breaking hearths and crying
While round that ash pile glowing
In brooks their tears keep flowing

Flesh and hair
Consumed is all so sweet and fair
Flesh and hair!

But ah, the flame it caught her clothes
Her apron, too and higher rose
Her hand is burnt, her hair's afire
Consumed is the child entire

Flesh and hair
Consumed is all so sweet and fair
Flesh and hair!

8. A Century In The Curse Of Time

This world tonight is turning
Like an every night, tonight
This world tonight is turning
Like an every night, tonight
This world tonight is turning
Like an every night, tonight
This world tonight is turning
Like an every night, tonight

Oh for the sake of progress
In our prime. We built machines
A century in curse of time

Oh for the sake of progress
In our prime. We built factories
A century in curse of time

Oh for the sake of progress
In our prime. Built capital
A century in curse of time

Just stop this fake of progress
Ease the strain!
The proletariat is
In the curse of time!
