1. Angels Of Pain

Full moon stares at me
from the ceiling
Shadows are sucking
at my breath

Mind mumbles
in its hibernated halfworld
Love and life grow cold
foretold of their death

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Wingbeat, heartbeat
the rhythms are alike
Loe one, flutter, stop
and down you go

The jar that holds
this God created spirit
breaks if you bring
its host too low

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

The sunken stare in their eyes
hollow and blind
Faces with no expression
always leering once behind

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

It's not the years
that wear you down
You grow old by
what they contain

If you choose to bleed
the last laugh is on you
Mocking you
to the oblivion
The angels of pain

Sometimes
I get compelled by the mirrors
To see the image
of what might have been

Hours turn to eons
I dare not to blink my eye
Haunted face of myself
is all that I've seen

The message brought home
is not gentle "father to son"
They throw the revelations
like bullts from a gun

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
Between me and you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain you'll fight in vain

They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
They will drive you insane
They'll never leave
the angels of pain

2. E.T.I.

I see a burning streak
in the dark sky
The stars above are turning pale

A faceless messiah
beast from the outer space
TV-legions all hail

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

With faces proud
but the heart's grown small
We stand in shaky reception

Overloaded minds
trying to predefine
the moment of truth or deception

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

Will we be given an answer?
Does it know who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

The gods of billions
will share just one fate
Crushed down beneath
the new one's weight

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
by the light of this star

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

3. Shades In Glass

Do you know the feeling
Like your blood in your veins
Ceases its flow
You spirit floats in the night
Like the light less moon hanging low
Walk to the shore by the sea of dreams
And your heart would love to sail
You're building sand castles
Dangerously frail

Like shades in glass
Just shades in glass

The wind is cold out there
But it carries your thoughts
Like a long lost friend
You were afraid to embrace
But you were glad in the end
Open you arms to the sky
Your flesh won't ever leave the ground
Small pleasures, enlightenment
May still be found

They're shades in glass
Just shades in glass

Still heartbroken
Still blinded by tears
Don't walk away after
All those bitter years
You read the pages you wrote
For yourself long time ago
And it seems it was someone else
You only used to know

Shades in glass
Just shades in glass
They're shades in glass
Just shades in glass
They're shades in glass
Shades in glass

4. As One

This world I see
perception of essential me
It turns wit time
of its own

The will stays strong
to walk the right
to correct the wrong
Collect and learn
what can be known

Mirage of wonder
grow into me
They'll give me
a stronger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

The earthern sand
the stars shine
from the palm of my hand
A breach of the solitude
where I stand

The light of the souls
almost reaching me
Will it give me
a stranger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

As one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
The stars in the palm
of my hand
I'd see you
if we could be as one

5. State Of Grace

I see the hill
scattered to horizons
They've haunted my dreams
for a long time

The bones of ancestors
lay unrestful
They're calling me
to their shrine

And I struggle
With the season before the snow
The ground is hard with ice
the road beckons, I'll follow

Home must be left
to know the longing
The toes will grow numb
from the frost

I used to know
where I was heading for
Somewhere, somehow
it just got lost

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
Wheels of fire wild at play
spinning, ascending

To learn that there's more than
just to live and die
Some love would be sweet
before the final ending

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
The pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
To know there's more
than just to live and die

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

To the state of grace
To the state of grace

6. Race The Light

The orbital angels are gliding
Their messages confused
The new age is out from hiding
The holy grail won't be refused

The years have grown to the mountains
They'll have wings before long
The voices of the small are drowned now
By distant sons and their song

All the great schemes and dreams
They're fused into one
Blow my mind or feed my head
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now

The black void is filled with white noise
The downpour of the hardest rain
Swam under the dwindling ozone
As the blue whales are dealt cocaine

Between the rising skylines
There's hope for a new dawn
The earth's spin will be reversed soon
The saints will yield to the devil's spawn

The sword of their heaven
Might strike and spoil their fun
Let's hope its on Mars instead
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light
I will now

All the great schemes and dreams
They're fused into one
Blow my mind or feed my head
I set my sails straight
To the wind from the sun
From ultraviolet to the infrared

I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light
I will now, I'll race the light

7. Expected To Heal

It's a moon alley
Somewhere in time
And the door is closed
But not by the key
In darkness I
Step outside of me

What have I become
Numb to the pain?
A state of mind
Without a name

A pulse beat ticking like a clock
From twelve to zero
A hero
With nobody knowing it

Exposed like an open wound
The infection of life
Shows signs, takes no hold
Expected to heal

The remains of my strength
I'm calling you, don't leave me now
I must find this child of passion
Once within, that I've lost somehow

This pale image of rage
No longer keeps me warm
In the back of my mind
I must be reborn

Exposed like an open wound
The infection of life
Shows signs, takes no hold
Expected to heal

Exposed like an open wound
The infection of life
Shows signs, takes no hold
Expected to heal

8. Sleepless

Tonight the wind comes from afar
with a distant call
Scent of valleys and fields
in early fall
There's ache in my heart
a mystery deep within the bones
She lays beside me asleep
She sometimes softly moans

Everything I do, every word I say
they're solid by the light of day
The night fills with dreams
I wish them real
There is no deeper way to feel
Oh, to feel

Does she understand
if I'm distant and feeling lost
Hiding inside one's self
is not dishonest
My fingers are not crossed
sometimes I don't feel
as good or strong
as I would like to be
I'd bring peace to her heart
if I could find some also for me

Everything I do, every word I say
they're solid by the light of day
The night fills with dreams
I wish them real
There is no deeper way to feel

Ooh...

Tonight the wind comes from afar

9. The Teeth

It's no surprise
There'll be murder to my name
I'm disgusted at the naivety
Of another man's blues
I'm tempered
By the force of hatred
My brain floats in quicksilver
Dagger of migraine for a fuse

Race me
Through thundering sky
Tumble with the brave
The bridge of lightning is thin
Race me
Across the torn earth
Tremble with shock wave
My world here within
All I can feel, my teeth

Mountains
Have been raised against me
I'm a shooting star
On a collision course
Nothing will stand
The impact of my speed
Multiply destruction
To the degree
I'm the source

Race me
Through thundering sky
Tumble with the brave
The bridge of lightning is thin
Race me
Across the torn earth
Tremble with shock wave
My world here within
All I can feel, my teeth

Educated through the years
Attitudes moralized and set
The time goes by
Waiting for the dreams
You haven't had yet
All the while the sanity drains out
From the balls of your feet
There's nothing left but hunger
And this world you're forced to eat

Race me
Through thundering sky
Tumble with the brave
The bridge of lightning is thin
Race me
Across the torn earth
Tremble with shock wave
My world here within

Race me
Through thundering sky
Tumble with the brave
The bridge of lightning is thin
Race me
Across the torn earth
Tremble with shock wave
My world here within
All I can feel, my teeth

10. Stigmata (I Feel For You)

I am the guardian angel
To these demons within
The cells of my flesh
Contain the blood of generation untold

The soul reaches out
Writing on this stake of earthly sin
Hoping for transcendence
The answers to unfold

Hide away
Inside yourself forever
All that you touch may cause you harm
Hide away
No, don't look back never ever
You, yourself in the charm

The dark waters of your sunconscious
Must be guarded well
Your own feelings are deceitful
No one is safe from this sinner's hell

Wounded hearts in need of faith
Sweet water to our parched throats
Religious schizophrenia
The old you becomes the scapegoat

Hide away
Inside yourself forever
Give up the control
Give up the blame
Hide away
No, don't look back never ever
You never owned your flesh, only your name

You're trying to nail youself down
It won't stay down

You're trying to nail yourself down
I won't stay down

You're trying to nail youself down
It won't stay down

You're trying to nail yourself down
They won't stay down

All your prayers
They're just words thrown to the wind
Muddled and rearranged
Devoid of all sense
There's no way to tell
Who or what they might bring
I'm the only hope
Your last defense

Your last defense

Know the price of unleashed empathy
Too much of it will get you killed
Recognize yourself, a tiny world among the others
Balanced, defined, but never fulfilled

I feel for you
